ter; that the 80 per cent of people out
here who favor division are either land
boomers or office-seeking politicians;
and that the total bank deposits are less
than forty thousand dollars. If he had
had any desire at all to get at the

the records of the state banking depart
ment that the four banks within the
proposed county carry nearly four times

counts. ]. H. Eaton, Of Denver, who
owns ranch on Grow creek. opposes
division on the supposition that his land
will depreciate in value, if taken from
Weld county. He was not clear as to
whether separation would cause less
water to flow thru the Crow creek sand
beds; but his argument indicated that
he considers dry land as trading prop
osition rather than as any foundation
for home building.
The Pawnee county bill was reported
favorably by the House Committee, and
is expected to be passed by the House
and sent to the Senate within short
time. AS the tactics Of the opponents
of division will no doubt be to play for
delay, it is suggested that every person
who favors the new county should send
letters or tefegrams to members of the
Senate, urging passage Of the measure.

County Divisionists Invade Dsnver
About two hundred residents Of
northeastern Weld county went to Dem
yer last Saturday in fifty automobiles.
and were given an audience with the
House Committee on Counties and
County Lines, in the Senate Chamber
of the capitol building. The argument
for county division and in support Of
Representative Graves bill to create
Pawnee County. was presented by El-
mer c. Abbey, of Grover, C. o. Dodder
of Keota, and Rev. Frank E. Gray Of
Buckingham. H. H. Northup Of New
Raymer, B. E. Harkins of Sligo, and
others. Questions were asked by MEM
bers Of the House committee, and the
great need Of this big, isolated terri
tory for local self government was
clearly shown.
On Monday afternoon q protesting
delegation from Greeley, accompanied
by c. H. DeFord and = half dozen
others. from Buckingham, appeared be-
fore the same committee. This dele
cation was headed by John T. Jacobs,
said to be owner of considerable prop
erty in the immediate neighborhood Of
the new half million dollar court house
at Greeley. and who has thereby re-
ceived more personal profit than any
other individual from the enforced pay
ment from this section Of about fifty
thousand dollars toward the cost of the
court house. He is the same man who,
in letters urging county newspapers to
fight county division, used the absurd
argument that we are not capable of
self government because in the pro-
posed county are no extensive irriga-
tion works, or running streams Of wa,

The Three
Wise Men

0NE Christmas mystery remaini
~ uns0lved. Who were the wise
men Of the East-the magi who
followed the star Of Bethlehem from
afar to do homage to the newborn
Saviour?
. It is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts of value that they were in their
own country men Of royalty or close
to it. Herod evidently deemed 1t well
to treat them with Difference, for dis
Quieted though he was to lead them to
the birthplace Of the Redeemer he dis.
sembled and told them that when they
had found the new born he would re-
turn to worship with them.
Much of our information about the
early days Of the Christian era comes
from the monks of the fourteenth CEN
fury, who delved deeply into historical
sources since lost to the world. Their
story Of the three wise men has re-
ceived wide credence. According to
these monks, the wise men were three
great kings called Caspar, Melchoir
and Balthasar. Caspar was the Oldest
and from the North. At the time of
the birth Of Christ he was sixty years
old, and for more than two-thirds of
that time he had ruled in Arabia.
Balthasar was black, a native Of Saba,
from the East, and forty years old.
The youngest was Melchoir, from the
South, whose country was Tarshish.
He was twenty years old.
1mpelled by SOME mysterious power,
they dropped all the cares Of the state
and followed a single star thirteen
days and nights, without eating or
sleeping, till it led them to Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that of the
Bible until they returned to their own
countries.
The story does not stop here. 1t tells
circumstantially the after life Of the
three wise men. The good Apostle st.
Thomas journeyed to their country and
baptized them, and all three went out
to preach the doctrine of the Christ.
They were slain by barbarous gen.
tiles, and later the Empress Helena,
mother Of Constantine, recovered their
sacred bones and took them to Con.
stantinople. Thence they were carried
to Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place in Cologne, where they
now are.-New York Post.

PERSONAL EXPENDITURES
(Des MONIES Cabital)

SE--tE-. \NSS SSEASSsAS - ~ rs
The problems of the war embrace
that of each individuals responsible
ity. If we are of military age we
,hould 60, if we are not Of military
age we should help.
Those who do not go to war are
faced with the proposition of what
they can do to help those who go to
war. This is mainly a financial help.
Of course all Of the knitting and gifts
for comfort n acceptable. They will
help win the war by keeping up the
morale. The main thing is to finance
the war. Each day brings more clear
ly before US the need Of money to
carry on "over there" Every man
who is sent abroad increases or fnan-
cial obligations.
The Liberty Loans will continue to
be asked.
Personal expenditures should be
carefully considered. Business must
go on as usual. This is important. In
order to have money we must make
money. In order to make money bust
mes must go IN. We must buy every
thing essential. Things we do not
need, should be omitted.

In a place built, like Bethlehem, in
L many cases against the soft
limestone rock it often happens
that the existence of q cave where
the house was to be was q great at
traction since it offered q ready
made, dry, above ground cellar as
well as a specially suitable spot for
the household animals and for q
storeroom. It would seem that Jo-
seph was at last able to get room in
some such back portion Of a house,
and there, we are told, Mary bore
her divine Son.
A cave below the high altar Of
the Church Of the Nativity is now
shown as the very place where this
august event TRANSFERRED; a little re-
cess, shaped like a clam shell, its
floor Of marble wrought into a star
in the center, bearing in Latin the
words, "Here Jesus Christ Was
Born of the Virgin Mary" A row
of lamps hangs round the outer
edge, the right to attend to them be-
ing a jealousy watched matter, each
of the ancient churches, the Greek,
the Latin, the Armenian and the
Coptic, having one or more Of these
under it's care.
The evidence for this site is so
strong that most persons accept it as
sufficient, reaching up, as it does, to
within living memory of the days of
the apostles. But even if this be an
illusion the fact remains that in this
petty village the Saviour of the
world was made man for our re-
demption. No wonder that we read
of the anthem of the angels, for
surely nothing could draw forth the
interest of the heavenly population
like the exceeding grace God was
showing to sinful man.
The scene of the visit of the shep-
herds is pointed out as on a rough
slope, facing the village, at some
distance to the east, Bethlehem ly-
ing far above on it's mountain seat.
One can follow the shepherds in
their journey to see the unspeakable
wonder. They would go along the
rich valley Of Boaz and then up the
terraced hill by a path still in use,
nor is it uninstructive to reflect
that, while simple shepherds were
led by angels to the. manger, the
high priest and the great Of Jeru-
salem, so near, slept through that
most illustrious night of all history,
quite unconscious of what. had hap
pened. But we know of it, and may
God grant that if we cannot go with
the shepherds to Bethlehem we may
one day go to the right hand of God
and worship him there, who that
night lay a little child in Mary's
arms.-Dr. Cunningham Geikie.

the evening Of New Years day
or any night during holiday week. 1t
Is a very pretty idea to make the invi-
tations look as much like the first page
Of n Of the single leaf calendars as
possible. Paste on a sheet of white
note paper a leaflet from the calender
bearing the date on which the party
is to be held. Below this write:
This is an invitation hearty
70 my little calendar party.
Next Monday night at eight o'clock
Bring all the wits you have in stock.
Be sure to come whate'er the weather;
Well have a jolly time together.
When the guests have arrived an.
nounce to the assembled company that
they have been entered as contestants
In q calendar race To prepare for it
take n Of the single leaf calendars
which you can buy anywhere for q few
cents. This contains 1855 leaves, or one
for every day in the year. Tear the
leaflets from the owe and hide them
all over the house or apartment, in the
AVAA6 AOOAAg Ad1A VI 0PulS UtulOOlu OS
wherever you want your guests to go.
At a given signal, the blowing Of q
whistle or the ringing Of a bell, every
body starts on a search for the leaflets,
This can be continued for as long OF
as short a time as desired.
The first prize should be given to the
person who has collected the greatest
number of days represented by the
calender leaves. This can be an orna.
mental calendar Of some sort. The Sec
ond prize should 60 to the person who
has the most calendar leaves for any
one month, but it Is forbidden for play
ers to swap leaves to accomplish this.
A little diary makes a good second
prize.
There should be special prizes for
the people who find the dates Of the
most NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., New Years,
Washington's birthday, Lincoln's BIRTH
day, Memorial day, Fourth of July,
Labor day (the first Monday in Sep
ftember) and Thanksgiving day (the
last Thursday in November). A differ
.ent prize should be given to the holder
of each holiday date and should be
something appropriate to the occasion.
For instance, the prize for finding De-
icember Is should be a tiny figure of
Santa Claus or a small stocking made
of tarlatan or net and filled with tiny
candles. New Years day prize could
have a small red blotter% decorated with
the figure Of Father Time cut from a
card.
After the prizes have been awarded
there is usually time before supper for
the date game: To play this it is nee
|essary for the hostess to prepare in
advance a number of slips on which
certain well-known historic dates have
been written-for example, 1902, 1905.
a776. 1914, etc. These, Of course, stand
FOR the discovery Of America by Co.
1umbus, the battle Of Hastings (Nor-
man conquest Of England), the Dec
1aration Of Independence Of the Ameri-
can colonies and the beginning Of the
great world war. Each player draws a
slip, reads It aloud, and whoever first
names the event that makes 1t famous
receives the slip.-New York World.
