MAY SEE MOON ECLIPSE

The first of three total eclipses of
the moon scheduled to take place
during the year 1917 will be visible to
Canon City people next Sunday night.
January 9TH, shortly after IL o'clock
according to an announcement made
sity of Columbia astronomical staff. 1t
will be one of the most unique spec
tacles ever seen. according to the
professor for the reason that the
stars in the heavens will be exception
ally brilliant and the eclipse cores
pondingly pronounced.
Here is what Brainjn says in an in
terview recently given out:
This month of January will present
US another opportunity to observe a
total eclipse OF the moon. which will
be visible thruout the United States
and Canada. II will occur on the NOR
ming of the eighth at about o'clock
and the totaIity will last one hour and
2S minutes. The moon will begin to
enter the umbra or deep shadow OF
the earth at about 10 minutes of /
and will emerge entirely out of IL at
about half past 4. The total time
of the eclipse will thus be about four
hours, during which at least part of
the moon will be visible. except dur
ing the time given above for the
total eclipse If you want to see the
eclipse begin your watch by l o'clock.
These hours are all given for east
ern standard time. so that those l.v-
ing in other time belts must make the
necessary corrections by subtractlng
one hour for central time, two hours
for Pacific time, and adding one hour
for inte-colonial time. For example.
If the observer lives in the middle
west where central time is used he
will find that the totality begins at
o'clock instead of 2. The pheno-
menon will be well worth the trouble
of being up at that early hour. for
you will have before you visible
demonstration of the orbital motion
of the celestial bodies and no slight
hint as to the mechanics of the solar
system and the universe"

THE BOYS ON THE BORDER

Dedicated to Company c, Colorado
National Guard of Canon City, Colo:
You are camping down in Arizona
With nothing much to do
But wash your shirts and darn your
socks,
And darn the insects too.
You want the world to understand
You're not too proud to fight
But draw the line at loafing there
With things that sting and bite.
The rattlers are friendly lot
And visit you by scores
Tarantulas prefer your tents
To sleeping out of doors.
You've learned that the horned toad
Is but harmless oaf.
You're not bit too proud to fight
But how you hate to loaf.
In mapping in your shoes and hats,
The scorpions persist,
You did not enlist to be
A bunch of naturalists-
You're not too proud to fight the foe
No matter when he comes,
But you are ashamed to wait around
And loaf and twirl your thumbs.
While you are valeting for mules
And building fences there
Some other fellows have the jobs
You held for many years.
You're not too proud to fight-in fact
You'd glory in fray
But you're too proud just to sit
And loaf your time away.
Well, yours is not soldiers life,
This slugging sand and sun,
Mosquitoes, fleas. and all the pests
That crawl and fly and run,
You're not too proud for freedoms
sake,
To fight and bleed and die,
But loafing will not help to keep
Old Glory in the sky.

THE HERO

The American peoplea are thrilled
with patriotism. We are standing
at the threshold of a great crisis.
An epoch may shortly dawn when
our heroes will be made and their
names chronicled on the pages Of
history, like the names of Lee and
Grant, and other great generals of
past ages.
The war in Europe has developed
heroes. Some of them deserve the
title. After the war is over this
will be determined. But, as Kip
ling says, This is another story"
Heroes are made BY valor, but
also heroes are made in more hum
BILE and less conspicuous fields Of
life.
This makes one ask what con
stitutes the hero?
Our dictionary tells US that a
hero is a man of great valor; a
brave man.
There was a woman who wrote
exquisite thoughts in the old days
of England, Mrs. Hale Grosyenor,
who expressed an exquisite idea of
the hero when she wrote, VAN
may be heroes.
The man who rules his spirit,
saith the voice which cannot err, is

A GOOD SUGGESTION

The committee Of ladies from
the Civic Improvement Club who
appeared before the quarterly
court last Monday had a good sug-
gestlon for the consideration of
that body. They asked that a com
mittee be appointed to devise some
means for storing the fuel used by
the county officials, and making
other improvements about the court
house to add to its attractiveness
and convenience. Mrs. A. f. Hall
presented the matter to the court
and did it in such an attractive and
interesting way that everybody
was pleased with the suggestion
and committee was appointed.
The committee is composed of
excellent gentlemen and we hope
they will make a thorough investi-
CATION of the question and find it
in the power of the court to
make the desired improvements.

greater than the man who takes a
city. Hence it surely follows. If
each might have dominion of him
self and each would govern wisely
and thus show truth, courage,
knowledge, power, benevOlence
and all the princely soul in private
virtue, each would be a hero. He
will be a man in the likeness of
his maker.
Many say a hero is a man who
dares to do what another does not
and yet the man who dares may be
only a fool, and become a hero by
chance. Many daredevil feats have
been accomplished by hair brain
men; feats that the sensible and
conservative man who would cheer
fully face the enemy's gunhre
would not attempt. Yet hair
Drained daredevil is acclaimed a
hero. Some time the great hero
is the man whose nerve is in condi-
tion at the moment Of crisis and
the man who is looked upon as a
coward is the man whose nerves
are not, This a logical neurolog-
ical condition.
But did any one happen to think
that there are many real uncroWned
heroes in our domestic walks of
life who plod through every days
dull gray "a hours without a plant
and without shrinking. Every man
in life is destined through no
merit or fault Of bis own to be a
hero at one time and a cur at an
other. Commercial Appeal.

Better Farming in the South
USE FERTILIZERS MOST PRoFITABLY
Fertilizers Supply One Plant Foods Without
Crops VIII Not Be Profitable.

conditions be provided for the plant
so that the fertilizer used may enable
the plant to grow most vigorously, and,
therefore, bring about the biggest
yields
Vigorous Seed
The fundamental, good growing con.
ditions making possible the most ef-
ficient use of plant foods, are good
seed, good seed bed and good cuti-
walton.
All planting seed must have strong
vitality to terminate and grow rapidly.
Seed should also be Of variety adapt
ed to local conditions. Time and rate
OF planting must be given attention,
for either one OF these may very ma
terially effect the yield of the crop,
Good Seed Bed
Conditions required in the soil for
best plant growth, and biggest acre
returns from fertilizers used, are a
good, well prepared, finely pulverized
seed bed It should be mellow and
firm, so as to enable the roots to
penetrate freely and deeply in search
of food and moisture, and to allow suf-
ficient circulation Of air. 1t should
be well drained. 1t should be well
supplied with organic matter, which
aids in absorbing and holding moisture
and improves the structure and filth
of the soil Good cultural methods
must be employed so as to destroy
weeds and retain soil moisture.
If the preceding conditions are sat
isfactory for plant growth, then, and
not till then, are crops able to make
the most efficient use of plant foods
within their reach Ii any one OF
these unfayorable conditions exist, a
plant cannot fully utilize the foods
supplied in fertilizers. Under good
growing conditions fertilizers are used
very proftably, proof of which is fur
nished by thousands of farmers all
over the South. Fertilizers contain
genuine plant food, and, Of course,
have a marked beneficial influence
when applied in sufficient quantity,
and the plants are otherwise given a
fair chance. The question now is,
Are you striving to so improve your
soil conditions that you may utilize
the value Of fertilizer to the fullest
extent?

Agronomist And unless some
provision is made for restoring and
then maintaining production, low
yields and improbable returns will
continue TO be the result. One can
not draw money from a bank unless
he has friends there. Neither can the
plant draw upon the soil and get the
necessary food elements if the soil
does not contain them.
Plan For Good Yields Every Year
Every farmer should adopt for his
land system OF farming that will
give him good yields continually year
after year II this is done, he must
feed the plants; for plants, like ami.
mails, must feed to grow. While plants
reqHire some ten or more elements
for their growth, all, except three,
are supplied in abundance. in most
soils. The three elements not supplied
abundantly are nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash. All these are generally
deficient in most southern soils, and.
therefore, have to be supplied in some
commercial form to get profitable
yields.
For farmer to get the largest acre
returns from his investment in fer
tilizers, 1t is necessary for him to
know something of the conditions I'M
der which fertilizers may be used most
effectively. He naturally asks: I'm
der what conditions will fertilizers
prove most profitable?"
Fertilizers are used primarily to sup
ply one or more plant foods without
which crops will not be profitable.
But there are conditions other than
plant foods that may influence growth,
1t is very necessary that good growing
