Red Cross Week

This is the week when a nation
is expected to show its humanity
by contributions for the war suffer.
ers.
1t is desired to raise Sl00,0O0,OOO
for the support Of the Red Cross
society of this country.
The Red Cross robs war of it's
horrors. demonstrates courage
and sympathy hand in hand, reliev.
ing suffering, and ministering to
the suffering everywhere.
The Red Cross knows no enc.
mics. 1t sees only those who suf.
fer and relieves that suffering, no
matter what uniform the sufferes
wear We have subscribed large
ly for the bonds to prosecute the
war, now We are asked to give.
The nation must not fall down.
We want to see Raymer contribute
its full proportion, Perhaps some
may not be able to give dollar, so
some should give more.
Probably We have in this pre-.
cinct AGO registered voters, so the
population must not be far from
SOO. We would like to see this
precinct send in a full $1,000 for
the. Red Cross.
Weld county should contribute
about $4,000. Let every man
show his humanity by coming for.
ward with his full contribution.
We want to see it done this week.
The word came too late for us to
mention this matter last week, but
take your money to the bank, and
Mr.. Quinn will see that it goes
where it should.
Make yourself a committee of
one to see that you do all you can.
and help a good cause.

A Ten Day Vacation

thrifty people show why so mach

ter resorts, etc.
The object of the vacation was
to take part in a reunion of the
class with which we secured a
sheep skin twenty-five years ago.
With one exception it is the
longest play spell we have had for
all of that time, aud it surpassed
all others in the fun we had.
OF the original score, ten were
present, coming from Montana,
Idaho, New York City, Illinois,
Colorado, and parts of Iowa. All
were married save one. there had
been no divorces or efforts for such
relief, and all are doing their part
in life. A quarter of a century is
quite a while, and still, father time
had been kind to our classmates.
and we came back with new vigor
for the humdrum things of life.
And after looking at Iowa in the
month of June when she is at her
best, we came to Colorado, not sor-
ry that our lot is cast here on its
limitless prairies and in sight of
her towering snow-clad mountains.

Ceremony Instituted During the Using
Dynasty More Than 200 Years
Ago, Enacted by Priests.

mony instituted during the Using

the "devil dance 1t took place in the
Lama temple, and was witnessed by
several thousand. deyout Buddhist
wrshipers, says East and West.
Eighty priests danced in groups, vary
ing In number from two to twenty.
All the celebrants wore gorgeously en-
broidered silk robes and masks repre-
senting animals. Conspicuous were
heads of tigers, oxen, sheep and deer.
The dance ended at two o'clock in the
afternoon, when a procession of the
priests formed and proceeded to the
east gate of the temple grounds, where
the paper etiigy Of a nude woman was
burned.
The legend which the ceremony com.
memorates Is that the devil, In form
Of woman, ran about the country,
casting spells and working mischief to
crops, animals and humans. Attempts
TO catch her were futile until the Bud
dha sent charmed horse to run her
down. The animal overlook the flee

seized her In his teeth, brought her to
a place of punishment where she was
publicly destroyed by fire. The female
figure is not alike on all occasions; !;
sometimes an old hag is represented,
but generally the woman is young and
comely, as being more dangerous to
mankind.
