Costly Living.

Most OF the high cost of living
comes from buying things we don't
need. II It wasn't for that we would
all live on the fat Of the land, and the
rich and well-to-do would have enough
left to help other people and boost the
uplift Of the city. II all the money
that society throws away on idle pleas
ures and needless things were redls-
tributed equltably among the people,
everybody would be living on lamb
chops, lima beans and pound cake;
and the reflex action Of such a situa-
ton would compensate the well-ofr for
the loss of their Joyless pleasures. But
the old ideal of the university seems
still to influence the people-'never to
vex at the lands ridiculous misuse"
1t wouldn't cost a cent to have It 9th
erwise, as long as our money goes in
to pleasures and trifies. But take each
individual life and cut OF the foolish
and needless things. and such a one
would occupy the proud eminence Of
a champion of nobler things.-Ohio

Syllables Are Clipped.

But the American does love to save
his words! 1t was in the elevator OF
skyscraper the other day that the
newest device for clipping syllables
was noticed. The lift had just passed
the tenth floor when a morose looking
man spoke to its conductor. Three, -
said he, meaning, of course, the thir.
teenth. When he had been left at the
floor the bearded man grunted out
five" and the chap next him said
hurrledly SEVEN" So they were de.
posted at the fifteenth aud seven.
teenth floors, respectively, and then
the elevator boy spoke to the remain
ing passenger. whats yours?" he
asked. Nineteen" returned that
gentleman. Great smoke, it has been
so long since I've heard teen that
hardly understand what you mean" I"
said the elevator boy, but he stopped
at nineteen all right.-Exchange

Religion Of Russia.

Christianity was introduced into
Russia in the ninth century. The Es-
tablished church of Russia, to which
the great majority of the Inhabitants
belong, is identical in doctrine with
and is a branch of the Greek church.
The liturgy used is the same as that
originally used by the church at Con-
stantinople, when Constantlnople was
the capital Of the Eastern Roman en-
pire, before the coming of the Turks.
This liturgy in the Russian church is,
however, not read in Greek, but In
the Slavonic language. The official
name of the religion in Russia is the
Orthodox Catholic faith-the word
Catholic being used in It's general
sense, universal or worldwide. Sixty
six per cent of the Russian people are
of this faith, and the census of 1915
showed population of -1s2, 1872, 800.

SWEET CLOVER EXCELLENT AS
A FERTILIZER.
Is Best Adapted to Colorado Condi-
tions as a Green Manure
Crop.

The most Of our western lands have
been produced under arid or semi-arid
conditions. Consequently, most of
them are low in organic matter (vcge-
table matter). These same soils are
usually rich in mineral mater. In or
der to get the highest productivity out
of such lands it is necessary to use
manures which will supply vegetable
matter to the soil. There are two
ways of accomplishing this object.
One is to use stable manures. But
no farm, aside from a few of the
heavy stock-feeding farms, produces
sufficient manure on its own area to
supply the vegetable matter necessary
for the farm. Consequently it is nee
essary to grow some crop occasionally
which may be plowed under, thus sup
plying the vegetable matter
OF the crops available for Colorado
agriculture, sweet clover is one
the best for this purpose. 1t will
give quicker returns than almost any
other crop which may be grown to
plow under as a fertilizer. Sweet

Mother and Baby Killed.

On ,onday evening at $40 the A.
V. tr....l eastbound when eight miles
east of Las Animas struck an auto
loaded with tourists at a crossing. The
road and right-of-way at that place
are lined with high weeds which shut
off the view and neither the engineer
or the driver of the car realized the
danger until too late. The car was
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. G. Neal and
four children.
Mrs. Neal with her baby jumped
from the car and were run over by
the train and both cut into pieces. The
rest remained in the car and all were
unhurt except Mr.. Neal who received
a few cuts on the head. Frank NJ.
Lamson of Wiley took them into town
in his car and sent for the Bent county
coroner, who came and made an in
vestigation and took the remains to
the undertaking parlors in Las Ami
mas. Mr.. and Mrs. Neal were on
their way to the mountains to spend
a few weeks, and had just left Gar
den City that morning where Mrs.
Neal had been visiting her sister, Mrs.

JelIies From Bottled Fruit Juice


The fruit season is usually such 4;
busy one that the housewife has diff
ficulty in making all the jelly that sht
could make from the juices available
at that season. A good way to get
around the difficulty is to extract
juices in the usual way, strain ant
heat to boiling, then seal up in steri-
lized jars.
Jellies made from these juices are
quite as good as those made from
fresh juices il one uses the ordinary
precautions and sees to it that juice
is well concentrated before sugar i
added SO that but little further boil
ing is necessary.
An additional point in favo, of
these jellies is that, being freshly
made, they have better flavor thar
do jellies which have stood for some
months.-Evelyn G. Halliday, State
Agricultural College, Fort Collins

What Is a Customer?

Marporie, years old, was a kin
iergarten pupil. One of the games
played one morning was "the store" /"
Miss Nettie wished the children to
understand what they were playing,
so began asking questions about diff
ferent features Of a store. Finally,
she said, Does anyone know what
customers are ?" Marjorie, the
youngest in the class, raised her hand
Immediately, and Miss Nettie, sur
prised that the child seemed so sure
of her knowledge, said: "Well, Mar
jorie, what are customers?" She
answered in an instant: "Dey's to
