Huckleberry Finn

An interpretation of the worlds masterpiece of humor. The best story Mark TW ain ever wrote. Pronounced by critics "the gretest American story. :" That great human book, warm with actuality of experience, vi- brant with the heart throbs of human interest; that delightful story, which has been called The Romance of Eternal Youth" An intertaining Recital which appeals to old and young alike. with it's Irresistible humor and wholesome fun.
 In this artistic presentation the characters are as realistic as the actors in a play; yet the in depreciation is so sympathetic and genuine that the literary
 motif" is not lost. Back of the scenes, there moves spirit which we all know and love; roaming spirit which stirs us with it's buoyant life and action, spirit which touches our hearts with it's budding fun and laugh ter; a spirit forever joyous-for- eyer young; the irrepresslble spirit of boyhood. Audiences report Immensely enjoyed"
 An evening of hearty rolicking laughter and wholesome fun" "A humorous program unsur- passed"
 The characters became real people, and the audience had the sense of floating with them down the majestic river, under the Southern stars. The climax of dramatic art was reached when the thunder storm broke over the assembled villagers in the grave yard scene, and the spell was only broken when Huck slipped away in the darkness and "shinned down the road" to 
 the raft. So vivid was the DOT trayal of this story that those present will henceforth have sense of personal acquaintance with Huck Finn" and ''Nigger Jim" and the King" and the Duke" Bertrand Lyon has es- tablished himself in Denver as a prince of entertainers.

EARLY MAN FIGHTING ANIMAL
Ancestors Of Present People Were
Called Upon to Face Beasts That
Inhabited Plains and Rivers,

The first houses were caves. Early
man was fighting animal, and had to
contend against the huge and feroci-
Gus beasts that infested the plains and
rivers, observes writer. His dwelling
naturally had to be a place of security
as well as a habltatIon. Caves were
natural and artificial, the latter being
followed out Of solid rock by rude flint
instruments. Most of them were FORM
ed In the sides Of cliffs and among
high, rugged hills.
To those early ancestors of ours the
primeval men and women who secured.
as one would think. but scanty shelter
and protection from these stone caves
and holes In the rock, we apply the
generic term Of cliff dwellers.
They were entirely ignorant Of agri-
culture, and subsisted by hunting and
nshing and on the natural products
they found growing In q wild state.
What is very remarkable, at our
very doors can still be seen the typical
houses and handiwork Of those pre-his-
torlc tribes in the caves of the Lancos
river In southern Colorado. These, In
most Instances, are as well preserved
as when their ancient occupants de-
serted them-perhaps 10000 years
ago. When inhabited they were reach
ed quite frequently by notches cut In
the rock, and at other times rope lad
ders must have been used.

Gladstone 4 Hard Worker.

Gladstone was hard worker, with
no breads with regard to work, says
the American Magazine.
He turned from political response
bilities of the heaviest to Greek for
recreation, and lived his four-score
years and more, just as Pope Leo
Alll, turned to Latin poetry for his
relaxation from worldwide burdens,
and lived on beyond four-score and
ten, living SO hopefully that when.
at the little dinner given him on his
ninetieth birthday, one of the cardIn-
ais said, In proposing toast to him,
Here's that You may live to be a
hundred, holy father the old pontiff
replied: But why limit me to a
hundred?"
Tney were contemporaries of Ranke,
the German historian. who at the age
OF ninety-one proposed to write a his
tory Of the world In IL volumes, one
volume to be completed each year,
and actually lived, I believe, to com
plete nearly half Of 1t.
These men had no breads; but they
allowed their energies to work on,
without any fear Of exhausting their
vitality.

RUSSIA TO RECLAIM DESERT
Good Pasture Lands Are Destroyed at
the Rate Of One Hundred Thous-
and Acres q Year.

The shifting sands Of Astrakhan and
the measures taken by the Russian
government to deal with this problem
form the subject of memoir by ].
g. Firstov, published In Petrograd, OBJ
serves the Scientific American. Ten
million acres Of the province In ques-
ton are covered with shifting sands
formed during the nineteenth century
aud subsequently. These sands have
been spreading at the rate of 100000
acres a year, the result being the trans
formation Of good pasture land into a
barren waste. The principal cause is
over grazing; flocks and herds are kept
80 long In one place as to result In the
complete destruction Of the turf. Poor
agricultural methods are also respon-
sible. About the beginning of the pres
ent century the government took meas
ures Of control and reclamation, and
between 1904 and 1909 an area of about
$4,000 acres was brought under culti-
walton. In 1918 special service was
ordered to deal with the question.
The province was put under the charge
OF a chief forestry officer and divided
into SIX districts, In each Of which a
subordinate official was appointed to
superintend the work. At the time of
writing good progress has been made
L..
In planting soil binders and growing
herbaceous crops, but 1t was still prob
lematical whether the province was
adapted to the establishment Of for
ests.

MIX DOUGH WITH SEA WATER
Wider Adoption Of the Practice 10 Rec.
commended by French Naval Phar-
macist, Health Advantages.

1t has long been custom In certain
parts Of France to make up the dough
for bread with sea-water instead Of
using, as Is customary, fresh water,
with the addition Of salt required to
make bread both healthful and appe-
tizing, says the Literary Digest. M.
Albert Saint Sernln, a French naval
pharmacist Of the first class, urges the
wider adoption Of the practice, which
has, according to him, several advan-
tages; the bread keeps moist longer,
owing to the affinity for water pos
sessed by the magnesium chloride sea-
water contains; II Is very wholesome,
since 1t provides not only the chlorides
of sodium and magnesium, but other
mineral substances which the body can
make use Of.
The water must be collected at
suitable distance from land and should
be taken from depth Of six or seven
yards II possible. The yeast must be
prepared with fresh water and the salt
water used for mixing the dough. The
French writer adds:
Bread made with sea water, useful
for everybody, Is to be recommended
especially for growing children, for
convalescents, and for all those who
need to repair the wastes due to fever
or to hard labor"

HALLWAY Work.

We are, none of US, so good archl.

Is not building that I know of, late

evident that neither architect nor
builder has done his best. It is the
especial characteristic Of modern
work. All old work nearly has been
hard work. 1t may be the hard work
OF children, Of bartarians, of rustics !;
but 1t is always their utmost. Let US
have done with this kind of work at

better Do not let us boss our roofs
with wretched, half-worked, blunt.

PLANS COMPLETE
FOR FARMERS
CONGRESS

Plans for the annual session OF the
Colorado Farmers and Farm Women s
Congress, to be held at the Agricul-
tural College at Fort Collins. Janu-
airy IA to 10. are rapidly nearing
completion. Prominent speakers who
have been sought for the general
sessions are responding in a gratify-
ing manner and the various associa-
tions which hold their annual sess-
ions at the Agricultural College dur
ing the Congress have published pro-
grams and are making arrangements
for their meetings.
The War Sufferers Acre Move
ment, launched at the last session
of the Congress, has met with cred
table response on the part of the
farmers of the state, according to
Secretary c. l.. Hover, of Longmont,
ohw has given much time to this mat
ter during the past year.
A report on the government will
be made at the sessions of the Con-
sress this year. Some interesting
figures will be shown at that time.
For instance, one man donated an
acre OF Pinto beans. These beans
netted $64 for the fund. Another
man contributed 1922 whicn. he in
formed the secreta~s, was the result
OF the donation OF one pig
Secretary Hoter especially urges
at this time that all pers )ns having
donations to report do so at once IN
order that the report TO be made at
the Congress may be completed lis
possible.
The patriotic pro:,iam, to be held
during one OF the evenings of the
week, promises to be one of the best
features OF the Congress. Governor
Julius c. Gunter will be the principal
speaker and addresses will be deliy-
cred by Chief Justice S. Harrison

TRACTOTS TO HELP
FOOD PRODUCTION

The national government is urging
the increase OF production In prac-
tically all farm crops To add in
this work ii is necessary to do more
and more work by machinery. For
farm operations it is therefore nee
essary to use tractors as much as
possible. Every farmer who has
been short of man help or horses
should consider the tractor as pro-
fitable investment. In order to pro-
iitably use tractor he should be
sure he can operate tractor or hire
a competent engine man.
All tractors now owned should be
used to their fullest capacity either
on the owners farm or on the neigh
boring farms. To aid in this work
tractor survey is being made Ell
fort Is made to get the names of all
tractor owners in the state Enough
has already been done to render
some help Between 500 and 700
names have been secured.
The names Of tractor owners in
a community may be obtained by ad-
dressing the writer Thus the man
needing tractor help may come in
contract with the tractor owners in
his vicinity. II is hoped in this way
to increase the working time OF the
tractor Instead Of leaving the trae-
tor idle use IL in neighbors field
