MRS. sASSER'S DEATH

Miss Mary Ann Ralph was born
October 5, 1888, and died December
Is, 1916.
She was married to Mr.. J. P: Sasser
November %, 1906. To this happy
union were born four children. One
died in infancy and three remain:
Mary Lucille, Joseph Ralph, and little
Robert Harry.
Mrs. Sasser was converted in early
childhood and united with the Meth
odits Episcopal church, South, at
Covington. She has been a member
of Clopton church since they came
to this community to live. She was a
loyal, true Christian, and gave evil
dence of this in here severe suffering.
Mrs. Sasser was a devoted wife and
a faithful mother. She loved her
home and was willing to make any
sacrifice possible for the comfort and
welfare of husband and children.
Her going away did not come unex-
pectedly. She had been failing in
health for more than a year before
the end came. Everything was done
that could be, in medical attention, to
prolong her life, but her case was
hopeless for months. The last three
weeks of her illness she was sur
rounded ~ father, mother, brothers
and sisters.
Mr.. Sasser's mother, Mrs. Mary A.
Misenhiemer, has been with him for
several months and was a splendid
nurse and served as a mother to Mrs.
Sasser in her illness. The neighbors
and friends remembered Mrs. Sasser
very kindly and did what they could
for her, but she had to go.
Mr.. Sasser wishes to express his
appreciation to all who were thought
full of him in Mrs. Sasser's illness and
death. He has the sympathy of his
neighbors and friends in his deep
sorrow.
Mrs, Sasser left many friends and
loved ones to mourn her going away,
but we are not doubtful as to where
to find her. A good woman has pre-
maturely gone from us, but our loss
is her gain. And she shall "see His
face.. A FRIEND.

FIRST AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
WAS PRINTED IN YEAR 1880

Monday, September IS, 1916, was
the two hundred and twenty-sixth am
niversary Of the date of the first
newspaper published in America. This
pioneer gazette of continent which
now supports nearly 10000 publica-
tons was the project of Benjamin
Harris, of Boston, whose address
was given as the London Coffee House,
and it was printed by Richard Pierce.
The journal consisted of four pages,
but only three of these were printed,
one page being left blank so that per-
sonal messages might be written
/ thereon. Each page was about Z by
II inches in size.
Benjamin Harris, the editor, refer
red to governmental and military
matters in way displeasing to the
Boston authorities, who would seem
to have been very thin of skin, and
his journal was suppressed within
twenty-four hours of the appearance
of the first-and last-number. 1t
was charged that Harris had printed
reflections of very high nature,
anu lC was 1OlDlulCI w pun any
thing in print without license first
obtained from those appointed by the
government to grant the same.
After the suppression of the Harris
venture, nearly fourteen years passed
before another attempt was made to
establish a newspaper on this side
of the Atlantic. John Campbell, the
postmaster of Boston, was the editor
and proprietor of this sheet, which
was called the Boston Newsletter.
Campbell's paper was printed by
authority, and it existed for seven
ty-tvo years.
The first big scoop" in American
journalism was pulled off" by the
Newsletter in June, 1704, when
reporter was sent to write a story
covering the execution of six pirates
on Charles river. This pioneer re-
porter turned in an excellent story,
and it filled nearly half of one issue
of the paper. The feature of the
article. however, was the prayer ut
tered by minister on the scaffold,
which was reproduced "as near as
could be taken in writing IN the
great wd".-American Press.

CURING HAMS

After the meat has been thoroughly
cooled pack well with salt and let re-
main in the usual manner. After it
has taken the salt thoroughly rub in
the following ingredients: To large
ham, say from Is to Is pounds, take
one large teacup of brown sugar, two
tablespoons of black pepper and one of
cayenne pepper. These should be well
mixed in bowl before applying. Then
put a few spoonfuls over the w.
and rub into the meat. II ,~-y m1-
portant that this mixture should be
rubbed in very thoroughly, the rub
bing process continuing for about a
half hour. Be careful to rub well
into the shank end. Smoking is not
necessary, but if it, is preferred it is
now ready for the smoking. Hickory
wood is preferable, but other wood
will do. When the process of curing
is completed the ham should be wrap
ped in paper, newspapers are good,
and then should be sewed carefully in
unbleached muslin and hung shank
end up, in dry, cool place but where
there is no danger of freezing. -

STATE REFORMATORY BE-
COMES LF-SUSTAlNING

In highly satisfactory report,
made to Governor julius c. Gunter
and the Colorado Council of Defense
Warden NJ. P. Capp of the state re-
formatory at Buena Vista, tells of the
remarkable crop-raising achievements
of his institution. The report is a
supplemental one, giving final figures
on farm produce and the results Of
permitting reformatory inmates to
work in the outdoors. Instead of the
200, 1000 pounds of potatoes originally
figured on, Warden Capp reports a
crop of $4,000 pounds. A large crop
of hay brought $22 a ton and other
things in proportion. Through being
allowed to work on farms adjacent to
the reformatory, the inmates were en-
abled to earn thousands of dollars
which was sent to those who might be
Aependent on them. Besides, they
earned their board-a direct saving
to the state. Only one youth, thus
let out to work, ran away. All this
was done on a suggestion made by
Governor Gunter's council Of defense
early in the year, and the man who
carried through the suggestion to such
a successful issue, Warden Capp-
well, he is the same warden that the
past administration harrassed and
pestered for two years, making him
the butt of unfounded charges and
unwarranted attacks, which were
neither sustained in the courts nor in
the minds of the people.

SAVE YOUR FARM MACHIN-
ERI-MAl BE A SCARCITY
Sc of Metals in War Will Have Ef-
feet on Machinery Production-Put
Yours Under Cover.

+. r. Gross, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Now is the time to build an implc-
ment house on your farm if you do not
already have one. The price of every
thing is up. The building will cost
approximately twice as much as It
would have cost one year ago. New
crthelcss a shed just now, if you can
not afford a structure worthy Of the
name house, will bring in greater re-
turns than it could have at any time
in the past decade.
This is true because the price of
machinery is also high. 1t is prob
ably higher in proportion than lumber.
Furthermore, so much iron and steel
is going into the manufacture of
munitions at the present time, and
more will go in the near future, that
there is likelihood that there will be
an implement shortage. We might
not miss it far to say there is a
shortage now. In one particular line,
the tractor, there has certainly not
nearly enough machines to supply the
demand.
It is impossible to foretell what the
future has in store, but it is wise
man who prepares.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
IN STORING SPtDS
Certain Precautions Must Be Taken
If Potatoes Are to Come o. Of
Storage in Good Condition.

II. +. Nasey, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Each year there is considerable
waste of the potato crop due TO un-
satisfactory storage conditions The
losses in storage are in large meas
ure the result of fungus diseases such
for instance, as dry rot and bacterial
rots. In fact, the severe losses from
dry rot alone have done much to dis
courage potato storage in few po-
tato districts of the west.
1t will pay every man who contem-
plates storing potatoes this winter to
apply a few practical considerations
to the storage problem. Losses can
be greatly minimized by observing
precautions such as the following:
/. Nothing but sound tubers
should be stored. Discard all that
show even the beginning of any form
of rotting.
2. Avoid storing bruised or FROST
ed potatoes, as they will soon start
rotting and endanger the crop in
storage.
8. Diseases can be kept down by
maintaining a temperature of about
35 degrees Fahrenheit, which is also
best for potato storage.
4. Through ventilation of the pit
or cellar. No potatoes should be more
than three feet from fresh air.
5. Avoid placing wet potatoes in
storage as they stimulate disease de-
velopment.

The Colorado Agricultural College
would like to get complete list Of
breeders of pure-bred livestock in
Colorado. Inquiries are often recei-
we'd for stock for sale that might be
referred to nearby breeders to the
benefit of both parties. The college
would like to have the name Of every
Colorado breeder Of pure-bred stock,
eligible to registry, whether he has
stock for sale now or not. Send .
postal card addressed to the Animal
Husbandry Department, Colorado, ,Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo
rado, naming the breed or breeds Of
stock owned. If you wish, state the
number of pure-bred females owned
and the approximate number Of stock
registered or eligible for registry for
sale each year. The principal breed
ers are probably all listed, but it will
cost little for such to send Q card
also. Many of the new breeders are
not well known. Breeders Of regis
tered sheep or dual purpose cows are
especially asked to send their names.

MILLS WON'T HANDLE SEED

Because of the drastic seed law
passed by the last regular session Of
the Colorado legislature, the mills Of
this state have made it known that
they feel they can no longer handle
seed wheat. The millers assert that
if the law is to be observed they can
not afford to assume the responsibility
imposed by the terms of the act.
Undoubtedly this will have a most
serious effect upon the campaign to
increase crop acreages. The seed
exchange idea for farmers now ap-
pears to be the only practical soul
ton of the problem. 1t is said that
Idaho recently repealed law similar
to that lately placed among the
Colorado statutes, finding it imprac-
ticable in the extreme.
