REST OF tales, divulged in three acts
OF mounting drama and igh-pitched
comedy. II begins with revelation
to two highly respectable and domes-
tic persons---a husband above re

Wife, a perfect paragon of innocent
domesticity. and their respective
spouses have been having a time
more gay than creditable. The very
good pair vow a revenge, and, hay

warn them, decide on counter
naughtiness as a suitable course.
They discover that getting into
trouble is far easier than getting

The passage of the 640-acre graz
ing homestead act, which became
law only a few weeks ago has start
ed a rush of land seekers to the
has not been experienced in good
many years, and those who 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 has for
various reasons been withdrawn
from entry.
The Colorado State Board of I'M
migration has been confronted with
new problem by reason of the new
homestead law. One of the most diff
fore it is to keep people who for
various reasons are not likely to sue
coed here from coming to the state
to take up 640-acre homesteads.
Ever since its reorganization a little
over year ago, the board has de-
voted almost as much effort to try
ing to show people with no means
and no qualifications for farming
that they ought not to come to Col
Orado as il has devoted to bringing
to the state good farmers with no
means and ability and experienced
people with money TO invest in other
lines. The enactment of the new
homestead law has greatly increased
the number of inquiries from people
with no means and no knowledge of
farming or OF agricultural conditions
IN the West.
There is at the present time slight
ly less than 100000 acres of
government land open to homestead
entry In the state. OF this amount
perhaps 100000 acres probably
will be designated as subject to en-
try under the 640-acre homestead
'''' Al tne present rate OF llllng
nearly all the desirable land would
be gone within few months. The
board realizes the immense benefit
the state will derive from having
this land on the tax rolls and pro-
ducing revenue for the state and the
several counties, as well as adding
greatly to the general prosperity
through greater production. In Or
der that the greatest benefit may be
derived by everybody, IL is making
every effort in its power to get on
those lands people who will improve
them and make them their homes.
rather than those who have a motive
in filing other than TO obtain such
rights as they can sell at profit
to actual settlers.

Prolongiing Youth

From Physical Culture Magazine

Its value develops with age.

forty fifty, and in sixty

When you grow old before your time, ignorance or

For premature old age is disease.
1t is caused by functional inactivity.
We have always maintained that the enthusiasm, the
yivacty, the magnetism, the beauty and ambition
associated with youth need disappear middle

without shadow of doubt. (The suppression OF
every newspaper printed in the German language
would rebound to the welfare of the nation and
would effectively purge the minds of many de-
luded German Americans.)
The question arises in many minds:
What has Germany done for these men and
women that they should wish her success in this
war?
They left the Kaiser's realm because they
wanted to better their material condition. They
succeeded in this country. Everything they own
in the way of real estate, money in the savings
banks, stocks and bonds was acquired here. They
had nothing when they arrived on our shores
Now they are prosperous.
Who brought about this wonderful transfer.

ment.
These men and women owe everything to our
nation Could there be stronger appeal for
their loyalty, looking at it merely from the ma
teral standpoint?

Thousands of them have proved true to their
word. They have given by word and deed abun-
.dant proof that their pre-war declarations were
not vapid utterances but the convictions of their
hearts.
Others are daily giving the lie to their former
assurances.
Some of them are openly hostile to the
course of our government They doubt every
declaration of the government, denounce and ridi-
.cule its military steps, read with avidity and joy
every reverse or mistake in our policy and with
al have the brazen impudence and impertinent
effrontery to demand an extenuation of their
conduct by false appeal to the principles of free
speech and free press.
Others are not outspoken in their sympathies,
but at heart wish Germany success.
+ Many of them can hardly await the arrival of
their German newspapers to read the yelled irony
and contemptuous sarcasm which their Teutonic
editors direct against American military enter
prise. They eagerly gulp down the deceptive ef-
fusons of these poisoned intellects and then pro-
coed to use the same arguments to contarninate
the minds of Americans whose loyalty is waver-
ing. thus diffusing over wide area thoughts and
opinions that embarrass our government and mis-
lead our people.
Many an honest man of German ancestry to-
day is entertaining disloyal opinions which have
been craftily impaired by the German newspa-
spers which our tolerant government permits to
circulate through the mails. These men are to
