was turning out some very ex-
cellent work in that line. The
carpentry and cabinet making
departments presented some fine
specimens of the work produced.
The printing office and book
bindery are connected with the
state government, and print
many of the blanks and blank
books needed in the Palacio del
Gobernio palace of the Gov
ernment.)
"A band of 45 pieces is fea-
ture of the boys department.
In the girls department the
pupils are taught the usual
branches of study, with stenog-
raphy, typewriting, painting,
music, plain and ornamental
sewing, drawn work, laundering,
with other handicrafts to which
women can turn attention for
a livelihood. With the growth
of the institution it will be q
matter of but a few years before
it will become self-supporting, as
the output can be sold at great
profit.
To house the school there have
been planned a group of seven
large brick edifices, in an eligi-
BILE site about a mile north of the
city of Hermosillo. Each of the
buildings will be large and COM
modious, fitted to house and care
for several thousand pupils. The
first structure is well along in
construction, and it covers three
sides of a square about 800 by
300 feet. The three sides under
roof have a width of about 40
feet. The fourth side of the rec
tangle is open, and beyond the
open side are the foundations for
some of the ther%buildings that
are to be erected. One of them
has the walls raised to a heigh,
of about ten feet above the foun-
dation. For the first structure
mentioned the walls have been
completed and the roof is being
laid.
Already there has been ex-
pended some $4,000 upon the
edifices, and it is estimated that
by the time of completion of thu
group of buildings planned there
will be an outlay of half a million
dollars in the structures and
their furnishings. The money
is being raised by contributions
and taxation. There is hardly a
citizen of the state who has not
contributed freely, and many of
the foreigners and foreign cor
porations doing business n Son.
ora have evinced a commendable
iberality in their contributions.

MULLEN MUST PAY FOOD
BOARD FINE OR QUIT IN UTAH
Hoover UphoIds Conviction of His
Company on Charge Of Prof.
teering

J. X. Mullen, Denver millionaire
miller and member of the governors
state council of defense, will be put
out of business in Utah by the United
States food administration unless he
Immediately pays $1,000 fine levied
against him for profiteering and dis
obedience of the food rules, He has
lost his fight to escape payment of
the fine.
The Husler Milling & Elevator
company at Salt Lake City was con-
victed few days ago by the Utah
state food administrator on charges
of profiteering and using forbidden
mixture of grains in manufacturing
flour. The company, which is owned
by Mullen, was ordered to pay $1,000
to the Red Cross and to suspend
business for one week.
Mullen, in Denver, Immediately an
nounced that he would appeal to the
federal food chief in an effort to es-
cape paying the $1,000 to the Red
Cross. His local manager at Salt
Lake City served notice on the state
food administrator that his firm
would not pay the fine or close its
doors as ordered.
Herbert Hoover, federal food ad-
ministrator, has sustained the Utah
administrator on every point and has
given notice that if the fine is not
paid at once and the mill closed for
one week, he will revoke it's license
to do business, which would put Null
len out of business in Utah for the
duration of the war.-Denver Post.

ENORMOUS PROFITS
FOR CORPORATIONS

Washington, d. c., June 29.-The
Federal Trade Commission made it's
report to the Senate today, charging
that the leading packing houses, flour
mills, coal companies and leather, oil,
and steel industries are making vast
sums above the normal profits of
peace times. 1t is charged that the
profiteering is due to inordinate
greed, to barefaced fraud, or to an
unfair advantage taken Of wartime
conditions. Tho report is intended to
be the basis for new legislation.
Armour, Cudahy, Swift, and Morris
are designated as the leaders of the
meat profteers. Morris profits
equalled the company's net worth last
year, and more than 260 per cent on
the outstanding capital stock. The
profits of the U. S. Steel Corporation
rose from about 3 per cent to 10 per
cent in 1914 to 25 per cent last year.
The copper companies have been av
eraging "a per cent and 25 per cent
profit. The coal margins have been
from twice to three times as much
as the normal Leather profits are
five times what they were before war
time. The flour millers have aver
aged thirty-eight per cent profit.

WESTERN STATE POINTS WAY
New Mexico Retains Title to Lands,
Getting Million a Year for
Schools.

New Mexico has RETAINED title to
Its lands. AS a result many cattle
raisers. crowded off by spectators
from the privately monopolized lands
of other states., are making use of
New Mexico's public lands. Thus we
get another object lesson showing the
responsibility of land monopoly for de-
crease in our meat supply and for the
rising cost Of living. New Mexico's
enlightened policy is proving profit
able to the state. From the rental
Of its land 1t has derived a revenue
of $1,09S,O0O for the eleven months
ending with November 1. For the cur
rent month s25O,0OO more is antici-
pated.
This entire revenue goes to the
school system. Had the land been
sold. 1t is not difficult to see that
most of 1t would before now be with
held from use, while the state would
long ago have spent the money 1t had
received. This is the case where the
sale policy has prevailed. But the
mistake is not irreparable. Through
land value taxation 1t is possible for
states and communities to get, in the
future, the advantages a prodigal
policy has lost them in the past. And
the advantage need not be confined to
certain lands set aside for the sup
port Of the schools, but to all that have
any value.

True Education.

The end of education is the making
If true men and women, not merely
scholarship or learning. These often
stand in the way Of true education,
which looks to the triumph Of the
soul. We don't know how it Is done,
We are told, says the Ohio State Jour
lal. But there is where the duty Of
he real educator comes in: He must
,e an inspiring, uplifting man or wom-
IN. He must get away from the old
professional ideas that have every
hing to do with knowledge, and get
nto the arena where aspiration, intu-
ton and Gods meaning in the world
would have their appropriate sway.
That is the only way to save this ma
ion and deliver its potencies In the
direction of noble destiny. To this
md we must employ, what the writer
quoted says, the flame that burns."

TWO BRIDGES BURNED
ON TUESDAY NIGHT
The Gunnison Empire.

The Gunnison Empire.
What is very suspicious to say the
least, was the burning of two railroad
bridges, one six miles above town and
one three miles below, on Tuesday
night. While the fires had pro-
gressed so far when discovered that
no trace of incendiarism was visible,
it is profoundly believed that they
were set on fire. Two trains came
into Gunnison at about six o'clock,
in the evening, one from each way,
and the fires did not show up till
near morning. This taken in connec-
tion with the fact that light rain
fell in the evening rendering the ties
damp almost settles it that the en-
gines did not fire them. Doubtless a
careful investigation will be made
and it is to be hoped that the cause
will be established. The delay in SER
vice was not to exceed ten hours.

Lake Abltlbl.

Abitibi is an old Indian name, and
yet comparatively new to most Cana.
1lans. The building of the Transcon.
tnental railway made It known to
people outside the comparatively
small groups always interested in the
Northland. Lake -Abitibi lies about
iue north of Lake Tlmiskaming on the
boundary between, Quebec and On.
tario. The. name means halfway
across water" due to the situation OF
the lake, which Is about half way be-
tween Timiskaming and James bay on
he old route followed by the voyagers
If the Hudson's Bay company. A few
years ago all the region about Lake
Abitibi was wilderness; today 1t
contains f1ourishing colony of
French Canadians, who are carving
farms out of the wilderness and turn
.ng the timber into lumber and pulp
wood.

eUNNIs0N cOUNTVs THRIFT
STAMP CAMPAIGN A WINNER

DIR. ]. H. Kelley reports on the
Thrift Stamp campaign that this
county is way over the top. With a
quota of S126,1sO the people sub
scribed S17s,295 or $52,115 in excess,
or considerably over one-third more
than they were asked for. Very few
districts fell. below their quota.
Crested Butte more than doubled
theirs. We do not print the list as
it might be held to reflect on those
that failed to reach the top, and we
presume there were good reasons
why this should be the case in some
districts.
All told it was a creditable show
ing and much credit is due the able
lieutenants who secured such good
results.

turkey Ranchine" is Tried.

In the foothill region of California
n some sections of Arizona and other
Western states, turkey ranching" has
,ecome a recognized industry, though
- vet an infant one. Some of these
turkey ranches produce more than
600 birds n year. The ideal situa-
ion for turkey ranching is one where
he natural food of the turkey, such
8 grasshoppers and other Insects,
reen vegetation and seeds, is abun-
tant. A range where acorns are
lbundant Is especially suitable. The
urkeys are driven out on the range
ach day, like sheep, and back home
t night. They are sometimes herded

A certain miser loved his money so
well that ne used to fill mis- mouth up
with coins and twirl them around
with his tongue. One day he made q
miscue and a whole handful went rat
tling down his gullet, a few sticking
in his throat. A doctor was called,
and found the man in a choking con-
dition, but after three hours labor,
succeeded in saving his life. It is re-
ported that the miser coughed up
a dime.

BLISS cARMAN, ON FRUeALITY.

ITO acquire the habit of frugality,
as the French have it, as the Japanese
have it, as all the deep, wise old nd
tions have it. is to show that we have
acquired wisdom, refinement, modera-
ton and good taste in the art of life.
To live in that restraint is to live in
that common sense, in that decency,
In that regard for others and in that
consideration for the future of our
own Independence. To live with fru-
gality means to live with q due sense
Of the relative values Of things. It
means that we have come to perceive
that life il more than food and he
body than raiment; it means spiritual
strength and poise."

AS District Chairman 1 want to
avail myself of the privilege of thank
ing you deeply for the very keen in
terest and the high patriotism man.
ifested by you on Pledge Day, June
2Sth. Men, women and children alike
rendered the most faithful service.
The manner in which you,. without
solicitation, on that day assembled at
the different meeting places in the
county and pledged yourselves to sac
rifice and save and invest your saw
ings in War Savings Stamps was the
great big factor in making it easily
possible for, the Sixteenth District
in Colorado to be accorded the high
honor of being the first district in
Colorado to have all of the counties
therein go over the top. The success
of this drive has been due as much
to tho unselfish individual interest of
the people as to any organization
efforts.
You complied with the letter and
the spirit of the Presidents Procla-
nation with almost revevalistic en-
thusiasm. The number of complaints
registered with me have been sur
prisingly small. You have in bet
ter way than any words 1 can as
semble, refuted the statements some-
times made that the people at home
do not appreciate the seriousness Of
the present war.
thank you sincerely for your as
sistance and interest. ann grate-

efforts.
