eminent has increased by reason Of
higher cost of labor and materials;
but the same thing is true Of manufac-
ture by private institutions. Another
thing that was a hard jolt for the gov
erument ownership advocates was the
admission that it would be unwiSe to
enlarge the present powder factory at
, Picatinnv arsenal, New Jersey, be-
cause it is now realized that it was
grave mistake ever to have located
factory in such an exposed place.
In case of war, the source of supply
could be easily cut off. The acknowl-
edgment that the government officials
made the mistake will not strengthen
confidence In the wisdom of permitting
such officers more discretionary power
in the future.
It has also been announced that the
matter of establishing a government
nitrate plant, in pursuance OF the act
of the last session Of Congress still
remains in its preliminary stages, not
even. a site having been selected.
simultaneously with the announce
ment came the statement that the pro-
iect for establishment Of a govern
ment artillery munition plant has not
gotten beyond the planning stage
though an appropriation Of a million
and a quarter was made at the last
session for that purpose. With war
deemed to be imminent. it causes no
little concern to be told that in six
months the officers charged with re-
sponsibility for athese two projects
have accomplished nothing Of a tang
ible nature. There was great activity
at one time in selecting site for the
arn1or plate plant provided for by Con-
gress, but the site has not yet been
selected, and probably never will,

If Love is blind. why is it that he spies
So many wonders hid from other eyes.
Strange new delights in earth and SKY
and sea ,
That lend the darkest day his sorcerF?
If Love Is deaf. why Is it he hears
Sweet harmonies unheard of other ears,
The softest whisper. and the falntest
breath
And aye the liGhtest word a lover saith:
If Love IS dull. why Is it that he knows
The tender secrets Of the bird and rose:
The word that shall awake a sleeping
heart,
The honeyed poison necdful for each
dart?
II Love can neither see nor hear, nor
know
The distant paths down which his sub
jects go.
II none may understand his mastery
How is It that he holds the world in fee:

AGRICULTURAL
SCHOOL OPENS
OCTOBER 91H
STATE INSTITUTION PROVIDES
PRACTICAL TRAINING IN AGRI.
CULTURE, MECHANIC ARTS AND
HOME ECONOMICS FOR EIGHTH
GRADE GRADUATES. @

The Colorado School of Agriculture
school for eighth grade graduates
conducted by the Colorado Agricul-
tural College at Fort Collins, will open
its term this year on Tuesday. Octob-
er 9, the entrance examinations being
held on Monday, October g. This
school was established to meet the
needs of the boys and girls of Colo
rado, who cannot pursue an education
further than high school. Agriculture.
mechanic arts and domestic science
are taught with special attention to
the practical or vocational side of
these subjects. Thus the young men
and women of the state are provided
with a more thorough and practical
training for the actual business of
making living than was available to
them before the school was estab-
lished. Three years are required to
graduate and the term lasts for only
six months. thus providing ample time
pecially for the boys and girls in the
country where il is inconvenient to
leave home before crops are harvest
ed. Much interest is being evinced in
this school this year because Of the
demand for trained leaders which the
war has created Military training
forms part of the work at the school
and this alone is attracting many
young men.

The VALUE OF EMOTIONS
IN OUR DAILY LIFE

ect was The Value OF Emotion" In
part he said:
Are you afraid of emotion? Do you
fear TO feel the passions and sensibil.
tiles stirred TO the depths by your
belief? Do you prefer an icily cold,
splendidly regular religion? Would
you prefer to sit unmoved and eye dry
and coldly critical as the great truths
of Christ pass in review before you?
Or shall emotion. the right kind OF
emotion have q part in your faith
For true emotion has large sphere
in every other sphere OF human ex.
perience.
Take the home and the domestic
relations. Is that a true home where
emotional qualities are lacking. where
two or three or 1--WE dwell under one
roof?
Take our relations now 10 our
country. Is patriotism merely fic.
tion, devotion to country only a cold,
businesslike acceptance of our duty
TO the land that feeds and shelters
and protects us. No. it is some'hins
vital and real. That is dead soul
that does not thrill with the throb OF
patriotism in this hour of national
peril and opportunity. Those who say
we are Americans because we live
within its boundaries. our property is

ESCAPE WHEN CAR

ESCAPED UNHuRT.

narrowly escaped being killed while
driving big, forty-horse power Over

road tracks in Florence at noon on
on account OF intervening fences and
oufbufldings the machine in which
Miss Baiansa was riding was struck
by heavy freight train at the inter-

feet. completely wrecking the auto
mobile. but without injuring its oc-
cupanf. except TO give her frightful
nervous shock The machine was di-
rectIs3 on the rails when the collision
took place and it was pushed ahead
of the train crosswise ON the track
for a considerable distance before the
train could be stopped and Miss Ba-
langa rescued from her perilous po-
sition..
Miss Balagna was thrown from her
position al the wheel when the ma
chine was struck by the car. but she
pluckily made her way back nd held
onto the wheel until she realized that
she must jump from the car or prob
ably lose her life. She is of the opin-
ion that she jumped from the machine
after il was pushed about fifty feet
down the track and she then ran
ahead OF the car to keep from being

From the condition OF the car after
the accident, it seems impossible that
Miss Balanga couio have escaped
with her life had she remained in il.
The xheels were doubled n,ier. .she
