Colorado Purposes to Make Use of State Lands for Returning
 Soldiers.
PARTISAN CON TES I
Representatives of Labor Plan to Seek Repeal of Law Prohibiting
 Strikes.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 26. - The twenty-second biennial session of the Colorado State Legislature will open here on Wednesday, January 1, with it's Senate securely in the hands of the Democratic leaders and it's House controlled by strong Republican majority. Because of the division in political control prospective legisla- ton is rather limited; with interest centered chiefly in the reconstruc- tion program in the enactment of the laws governing the new civil ser vice commission which was created by Constitutional amendment, adopted at the recent November cleo tiCn.
 Possibility of the passage by Con gross of a statute embodying Secre- tary of the Interior Lanes plan for making State lands available to re turning soldiers through irrigation development. The Legislature must first decide whether existing statutes enable the State to take advantage of the Lane plan. If the decision is affirmative bills embodying the need ed legislation will be introduced; if negative an effort to submit a con stitutional amendment at the next election correcting such condition will be made. Along the line of peace-time development the State i'm migration commission will also spon- 1, f@, oI,o ovx sive survey of the agricultural possi- bilities of 14,000,000 acres of un- needed land belonging to the State and for means to facilitate the gath ering of statistics on the States az
 ricultural, industrial, mining, educa- tional and financial opportunities. A strongly partisan contest is an ticipated on the enactment of the civil service commission bill. The amendment creating the commission only and Democratic leaders, in con. trol during the past years, see in the framing of the new civil service law, an opportunity to continue in office every Democrat now holding office.
 The ratification of the Federal pro hibition amendment early in the ses- sion is considered a certainty Pro hibition leaders, however, will be active in urging the passage of leg islation which will continue the State constabulary organization, which, un- der the terms of the present meas ure is automatically abolished 60 days after the signing of the peace treaty.
 Labor representatives plan to seek the repeal of the provision in the in dustrial law which prohibits the call ing of a strike without giving thirty days notice to the State industrial commission and may also seek and increase in payments under the em ploye's compensation act.
 The highway commission is as yet undecided whether to seek larger appropriation for road development or legislature which will make possi ble a bond issue for road improve ment. A measure placing auto truck service under the control of the pub lie utilities commission is also being considered.
 The session will be the first in the history of the State in which approp riations for the State educational in stitution will not form part of the Legislative program. the twenty-first assembly having placed all such in stitutions on the mill levy basis.

LITERARY CLUB MEETS.

The Lyman Prairie neighborhood do
not believe in alternating over winter,
they believe in getting together twice
month at least and enjoying the
company of each other. They believe
in getting out and enjoying real Win
ter sport. This group of interesting
and progressive farmers meet every
other Saturday night at the church
for social entertainment.
Earl Springer of the Sank Centre
high school attended the last meeting
and explained the County Agent
movement now on in Stearns county.
Every one seemed to be interested in
the County Agent work. No one
seemed to reject the plan, but prob
ably didn't understand the movement
well enough to join the County Farm
Bureau Association, on such a short
notice. A few however, that probably
understood the proposition better were
ready to sign up. Those signing were
the Messrs. G. E. Beidleman, c. Kraft,
Elmer, Smith, and Albert Sehnert.
Some wanted more time to think it
over and this is all good and well fol-
the more you talk it over the more
members we will have, just so you
don't talk too long, and we would like

A Triangle picture which is design
ed to be satire on the modern wo-

mean, the woman who thinks the
world for the weaker sex is not right

"A Woman's Awakening" is good
title for this tale Of how one woman
found out she could not change the
laws of the universe and be happy.
How she found the trouble which lay
within herself and how she became a

Rev. Sparkes suitably acknowledged
the vote and referred to the help
which the Baptists had given to the

to hinder it and with the current ex-

raised during 1917 than during the
previous year for current expenses

had given him during the past year.
He referred to the splendid spirit of
harmony which existed in all depart
