We should learn about the for.
eign nations. their education,
their religion, and their morals
or their habits and ways. And
to benefit ourselves by what
they have, their religion, edu-
cation, etc. in which they excel
us and give to them that in
which we excel them.
We owe patriotism to the in
terests of all humanity and not
to one thing. We owe patriotism
to our town, our community, our
state and our nation and still
more we owe patriotism to our
world. We owe all this because
of the government and the law,
the rights and the duties which
protect Us.
ALI Americans should take q
part in the world aft lirs. We
should look after peoples other
then Americans. Some of us
think just because we are over
bere away from the European
and Asiatic country, that we
should tend to cur business and
wish them to do the same. We
should not allow, for instance:
England, Russia, Germany and
japan to oppress China OF any
other country. We should gee
that all countries shall have their
rights and we must take our part
in the worlds duty of doing this.
Not only will we be called upon
to show our allegiance to our
town, community, state, and
nation. but there is time com.
ing when we will be called upon
to show our allegiance to the
world as one great unit of civili-
cation.

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES

Agriculture is the most impor-
tant industry in Baca county,
and it should receive special at
tentiop.
There is not very much corn
raised here, although some years
it does very well. Corn,is used
to fatten hogs and when 1t is
ground into chop it makes good
horse feed.
There is some. wheat raised
here. but usually there Is two
much wind and not enough mois-
ture for this crop. This is true
of oats also.
Maize and feterita are more
easily grown than other crops
although broomcorn is very prof
titable to the farmer.
. Maize and feterita are good
feed for stock and broomcorn
fodder is good for cattle.
Broom corn is plant raised
in the United States although it
is a native of India. 1t is of the
, same variety that produces su-
gar cane, .durra corn and other
| plants. 1t has a jointed stem
which grows to height of from
four to. ten feet.
Broomcorn grows best in al
lurial soils, but. will generally
produce IA. fair crop on any land
thatis adapted to maize. The
average production 10 an acre is
! about 500 pounds of brush.
/ In standard broomcorn the
stalks are broken off about foot
and a half below the head. Two
rows are usually broken toward
each other. This, operation is
called tabling.
The seed of broomcorn is Of
ten fed to. chickens and cows
but it has comparatively little
value.
Alfalfa is grown on bottom
land. It produces three or four
crops each year. The first cut
ting usually comes in May. 1t
grows from one TO two and a
half feet high. go.
Cattle, horses, and sheep are
profitably raised here If you take
care Of them and feed them
properly.
= The best cattle for the dairy
are the jerseys, the guernsev's,
the holstein, and the short horn.

The EDUCATIONAL CODE

There was brought before the
General Assembly during the
las, session a proposed code of
school laws for the state of Colo
rado. This would be of great
benefit to the state, and we should
all work to get it passed.
This code has been framed by
a committee of the educated peo-
pie Of the state, with the advice
of some of some of the people
who are interested in the educa-
tional affairs of the state. The
educational institutions of the
state sanctioned this bill and
worked for it.
This co,ie effects very mater
tally the schools in the third
class districts and it's passage
would do much for rural school.
All territory outside of the first
and second class districts shall
be put into a county district, and
for the county school district a
board of education of five mem
bers is elected, by the voters Of
the county, whose duty it is to
oversee the administration of :he
schools of the county. There is
a local board of three members
for each school. whose duty it is
acting under the county board
to administer the affairs of the
local schools.
This bill would go great way
in putting the county on g uni
form basis, as the pooror sections
would have as good schools as
the rich sections, and that is one
thing the country is badly in nee6
of.
The code also provides for fla
rate taxes, for the purpose OF
paying teachers salaries, whicl,
equalizes the burden of school
support for our taxpayers.

Square Peg. and Round Holes

Every individual has certain
general traits; every kind OF
work has certain general char
acterStics. There is a type OF
man whe wants tD get on the
same car every morning, get on
at the same corner and to do the
same kind If work day after day.
Another type of man would go
crazy under this routine; He
wants to move about, meet new
people, see and do things. The
first is settled: the second is row
ing. The first might make a
good man fer a shop manufactur-
ing a standard product; the sec
oAd might make a good railroad
nan or good outdoor carpenter
Certain men blend into any en-
vironment, adapt themselves to
any emergency. Set off against
them is the man who never
gives" to envirement or emer-
eency, WHO is bound up in his
own inflexible ways. The first
type produces excellent salesman
the second splendid statisticians
Some men think first and then
act; others act, and think after

peculiar fact we have learned is
that the best workman some.
times make the worst foreman.
