There has been a release from GER
tain taxes to firemen and this is
priced by some, so there are few of
the present company who voluntarily
will want to step out. The question
of whom to cut off therefor makes
much feeling.
A peculiar phenomenon took place
recently at the Ed Osborne home,
at Halabur, and hard to be explain
ed. When he got up to build fire
and touched the kitchen stove an
electric spark jumped at him that
made him shrink back. The cat
crawled under the stove and when
her back touched the stove she hur-
riedly made dash for a safe place
The dog shifted the stove and a
spark shot to his nose. Every time
the stove was touched a spark could
be seen jumping from the stove.
AL day long the queer phenomenon
was noticed, and the next day il was
gone. There were no electric wires
about the house except the telephone
and it did not in any way connect
with the stove.
Toy guns We're not realistic enough
to suit little Harry Bunk and Frank
Zutz. jr., of Hamburg who were
playing together at the Bunk home.
Harry went in and got his brothers
22-calibre rifle, inserted cartridge
he had found somewhere, and fired
point blank at little Frank. The
bullet went in at the right side and
came out through his back. After
being shot Frank went home and
laid down on the couch, and at first
refused to admit that anything was
wrong. Finally he began to cry. and
examination revealed the wound. He
then said that Harry had shot him.
Mrs. Bunk was told of the matter.
and after some persuasion Harry
admitted the shooting. The boys are
only 3 years old At present the
seriousness of the wound cannot be
determined, as it is not known Just
what organs may have been injured

YOUR BOYS CHUM

If you are father, are you acquain

he will have until years of maturity
develop in him the sex attraction.
If you have studied boy nature. or
even if you can recall your own boy
hood days, you must know that they
are the days wherein the lasting inn
pressious of life are formed. It.is al
so the period when the domination of
a strong personality is not potent for
good or evil over n weaker or more
plastic nature.
Have you studied your boys chum?

boy himself. Is that chum all you
could wish him to be? Is lie stronger
or weaker, Of purpose and character
than your boy? II stronger, all the
r.ore reason for you to know his real
character. for he is as sare to impress
his personality upoa ynur son as that
strength overcomes weakness.

chance acquaintanceS or f'on stran-

WaLt6r.
Every normal boy has great respect
for his father, provided that father IS
deserving of his respect. The first
step, therefore, is to secure and de-
serve the boys confidence. This ac-
complished. a little tactful considera-
ton on your part, together with per
sonal interest in his every day life,
ought to give you control of the stu
alton.
But the surest way to control the
matter is to constitute yourself the
boys chum. This can be done if the
matter is taken in hand early in the
boys life.
To every young boy his father is a
model of perfection. His first boyish
ambition is to initiate father. If that
father is deserving of imitation and
will cultivate his boys confidence, the
problem is solved.
Every father should seek first place
in his boys confidence. He should
make certain that lie stands higher in
the boys regard than all others. And
as the years pass he should see to 1t
that the bond is stl enlightened instead
of weakened. But this can only be
done by fully entering into the life OF
the boy and by making his life your
life.
1t will pay better than any other in
vestment you can make.

GOOD ROADS MEETING

A number our citizens went to
Sharon Springs last, Wednesday
night to attend the Good Roads
and Get-To-G ther meeting held
at that place. The object of the
meeting was to place the high
way between Oakley and Limon
along the Union Pacific railroad
on the official guide. A largs
delegation from Wallace county,
Kansas, Cheyenne and Lincoln
counties, Colorado, were present
to encourage the movement.
They were banquetted at the Ho-
tel West.
1t was resolved to form a per-
manent organization to be known
as the Union Pacific Highway AS
sociation. The Highway shall be
known as the Union Pacific High
way with sub-letters and slogan
1.-The Denver and Pixies Peak
Route.
J. w. Shy was appointed as a
committe to represent this county
before the Colorado State High
way at Denver. C. c. Turner
was appointed to perfect the or
ganization in this county.
The next meeting of the Asso-
citation will be held at Hugo. on
February 14th.
Let every one put their shoul-
der to the wheel and assist in
getting the tourists to come this
way, as it is a shorter route to
Denver. and we should get more
travel than we have been getting
Besides we have as good, if not

ers to the Western public land

have been watching the results
in Colorado and adjoining states
express a belief that there will be
almost no desirable homestead
land vacant at the close of 1917.
except that which for various
reasons has been withdrawn from
entry.
The Colorado state board of I'm
migration has been confronted
with new problem by reason of
the homestead law. One of the
most difficult tasks the Board now
finds before it is to keep people
who for various reasons are not
likely to succeed here, from COM
ing to the state to take up $40
acre homesteads. Ever since its
reorganization a little less than
year ago, the Board has devo-
ted almost as much effort to try
ing to show people with no means
and no qualifications for fal ming
that they ought not to come to
Colorado as it has devoted to
bringing to the state good farm
ers with means and ability and
experienced people with money
to invest in other lines. The en-
actment of the new homestead
has greatly increased the number
of inquiries from people with no
means and no knowledge of farm
ing or of agricultural conditions
in the west.
There is at the prese~t time
slightly less than IA, 900. 900 acres
of government land open to entry
in the state. Of this amount
perhaps 100000 acres probably
be designated as subject to entry
under the 64O-acre homestead act
At the present rate of filing near
ly all the desirable land would be
gone within a few months. The
Board realizes the immense ben
eft the state will derive from
having this land on the tax rolls
and producing revenue for the
state and the several counties, as
we'll as adding greatly to the gen
eral prosperity through greater
production. In order that the
greatest benefit may be derived
by everybody. it is making every
effort in its power to get on these
lands people who will improve
them and make them their homes
rather than those who have no
motive in filing other than to OBJ
tain such right as they can Sell
at a profit to actual settlers.
