burg, Kan, where she had gone at
the urgent solicitation of her daugh-
ter, Miss Edna Wiswell. to witness
the production of the Greek Masque,
Pluto and Prosperpine," given un-
der the direction of her daughter,
on the campus of the school,

dred girls OF the State Manual Train
ing Normal School, OF which Miss
Wiswell is the physical director OF

and 1t was witnessed by an audience
of several thousand people Through
the medium Of classic dances was
given an Interpretation of the old
Greek myth that symbolizes both the
Immortality OF the soul and the new
er failing return OF spring. The
dances were seventeen in number
twelve group dances and five solos.
The group numbers ranged from
those employing four dances to those
in which 200 tripped and swayed in

Farmers VIII Double Number Cows

F. +. Wadleigh, one of the lead
ing dairymen of the Holbrook coun-
try. was in town last Tuesday and
called at the office OF the great fam
| lily journal to make his regular an
nual contribution to the subscrip-
tion jackpot Of the great family
journal. Mr.. Wadleigh now has
thirty-four head Of high grade dairy
cows, and is one OF the progressive
dairymen OF that section.
y He recently established q milk
route in Cheraw and is now supply
ing the denizens OF that community
with first-class article of lacteal
fluid. He says the cheese factory at
Cheraw Is receiving about 5000
pounds OF milk per day. and on Mon
day the amount received was 5000
pounds.
Mr.. Wadleigh was in town for the
purpose OF ordering material for an
up to date milk house. and in the
course OF the next month expects to
have one Of the best equipped dairies
In the Holbrook country. When he
heard that La Junta had landed the
condensary he was much pleased. and
said that It was his intention to buy
more cows at once, and that before
the summer was over he would prob
ably be milking sixty or more.
There will be no limit to the
amount OF milk q condensary can
handle. and as long as La Junta is
able to provide good market there
will be no question as to the will
ingness Of the farmers to increase
their dairy herds.

Antidotc for War Hy.teria

A great many people In this COM
munity, as we'll as other communi-
ties all over the United States, are
suffering from severe attack OF
all-pervading gloom as to just what
is going to happen to us. now that
we have become one of the chief
factors In the wide world war. Wor-
rying over our fate Is not going to
help conditions in the least. There
will probably be scarcity OF food
products, and prices for the neces-
stiles of life and everything else for
that matter, will probably have an
upward trend for some time to come
There is no need to become alarmed,
however, over present or prospective
conditions. The best way is to be
optimistic always, keep cool and not
get excited.
One of the leading business men
of the west advises this procedure,
and 1t will probably do you good to
read a letter written by him to A.
c. Draper one day this week. Ed
V. Price. OF Chicago. who was at one
time engaged in business in this city,
writes to his old time friend, Mr.
Draper. as follows:
There A a great deal of hysteria
being displayed by some OF our
statesmen concerning the war.
"The seven billion dollar govern
ment loan is not going to be floated
at one time but over long period
OF time and handled in such a man
ner that the financial institutions
are not going to be disturbed. Every
dollar OF It is going to be expended
In this country. The American citi-
zens are going to get It all and they
In turn are going to expend II as
well as the rest of the money they
earn. Our customers are going to
get their share just as they always
have. provided they do not lie down
and let other competitors walk away
with the business.
England has been In war for al
most three years. Their export bust
ness is larger than II was before the
war. After this first hysteria or wild
talk is over with and we have set
tied down to run our war on bust
ness basis Just as we run all Of
our industries In this country, II Will
not prove a detriment nor bring dis
aster to business in this country.
like some people think It will. but
In the long run will be one OF the
very best things that has happened
for the country. the government and
the generations that are to come af-
ter us.
'All that our loyal American cit
liens need to do Is TO keep cool and
not get excited but support the gov
ernment and incidentally hustle for
business just the same. II is here
and all that Is left for us to do is
to work Just little mite harder. Z"

29th.
The lowest temperature recorded
during the month was on the 5th---
"a degrees above zero, and there
were ten days in April when the tenn
berature was at or below the freez-
ing point.
There were only II clear days
during April, six cloudy and seven
partly cloudy-over one-half the
total being clear days which Is a
pretty good record for April even In
Colorado.
The total precipitation during the
month was 1.9s inches. as CON-
pared to 1.67 inches for the same
month of the year previous. In April
1915 II rained total OF 3.75 inches,
and for 1914 an even four inches
these latter two years being the per-
iod most favorable for dry farmers,
when some late arrivals from Mis-
