War Garden
Club Notes
THE WEED BATTLE.

Now. that your crops are planted
and have started 10 grow or will start
to grow in short time. you ought to
turn your thoughts to the care OF the
small plants There are at least four
enemies of these little tender baby
plants which you will have to fight il
your garden is successful. The first
OF thes. which We will talk about to
day. is the other crop OF baby plants
in the garden which are known as
weeds. There is always disorderiy
mob OF these savage invaders and un-
less you meet them with your hands
and good sharp hoe. they will over
run your smaller army OF well drilled
soldier plants. Yes your hoe must
be slarr so tina, your task VIII be
made as easy as possible. With n
sharp hoe the weeds can be made TO
tumble in all directions and the
straight ranks OF your army will re-
main as you want them.
But . hoe cannot do all of the work
After the main army is killed. many
spies will try to hide among the
plants. dressing themselves in clothes
similar to those worn by the men of
your army. But you must become so
well acquainted with your men that
the little red weeds will not be able
To persuade you into thinking that
they are beets. These and all other
weeds that lurk rs spies in among the
rows OF vegetables must be met in a
hand TO hand battle They must ali
be- done away with or. they will rise
up and kill on some OF the soldier
plants.
The sooner that you do this after
your plants have pushed their heads
above the grouhd. the easier will be
your task. Small weeds are usually
weak and very easily killed. but the
large ones are very strong. If you
keep the soil between the rows we'll
hoed and loose. many of the weeds
sill be killed even before they ap-
pear above the surface of the ground.
In fighting this battle. however.
YOU must be careful not TO step on
your vegetables or allow them to be
disturbed in any way. II the hoe
should cover them with earth, care.
fully remove II with your hands, dis.
turbing the plants as little as possible:
give them all of the chance that you
can. because civilized babies cannot
grow with dirty faces. Continue this
battle from time TO time, especially
after rains when the soil is nearly
dry and YOU viii be victorious gen.

WORK IS STARTED ON CANON

Canon City is to have a new city

already started
1t has been two years since The

since then and the old book is really
worse than nothing; just good enough

A city directory in town like Can

THIS STATE MUST MAKE
FULL PREPARATIONS FOR
BACK TO LAND"
MOVEMENT.
GET READY FOR THE WARS END

Many of the dwellers Ia the ca>5
are inclined to look upon Colorado As
land Of mountains and the producer
of minerals. To both of these the
state pleads guilty and i proud Of
the record OF its mines aud equal.
prond Of Its wonderful climate and Of
: its unsurpassed scenery But Col
orado is also y splendid agricultural
state. It's agricultural authorities
claim that II has the greatest aver
age production per acre Of all leading
farm products. ~
The state very easily leads In the
production of sugar bects. and 1t
ranks high in the production of pota-
toes. None OF these things could be
true II il wcre not for the fact that
Colorado lands have high degree OF
productivity.
There are in the state of Colorado
ten million acres of Government land
open to homestead. Much OF this
land is Considerably on the beaten
track. but IL is only question Of
time. and that probably a very short
time, until new means of tran>porm-
tion will have been provided that
will bring all these rich acres within
easy reaching distance of the market.
Many Acres Open to Settlement.
In addition TO the Government land,
still awaiting the homestcader. the
state has an equal acreage Of private
lands for sale. These two facts make
Colorado one of the coming states in
the union.
Wheat Is one of the great products
of the Colorado farmer and the pro-
ductiou of wheat ranks higher per
acre than In many OF the so-calied
wheat states.
One OF the chief features OF Colo

ship. II was one of the original
woman suffrage states OF the coun-
try, aud. In that state. women have
always taken prominent part in pub
lie affairs. with the result that II has
one of the finest school systems in the
country.
Rare Minerals Make State Rich.
The mineral riches of Colorado are
greater and more diversified than In
any other state in the union. and rich
deposits OF some OF the rare minerals
are found In paying quantities only
In Colorado. There are found with
In the limlts of the state more than
200 valuable mincrais and their cont

Money and the
Power of Publicity

The present nationwide uproar CON
cerning the fate of Thomas Mooney.

murder. again demonstrates the tre-
mendous power of advertising and
publicity. The defense. consisting of
a dozen Of the cleyeresi criminal law
yers in the West. assisted by a corps
Of private detectives and supported by
resources probably exceeding guar
ter of 4 million dollars. was unable
