reed Cuts Live Stock Profits
Excessive prices tor ali kinds vi
stock iced tended to reduce the profit
from this branch OF industry In 1917,
out despite that handicap the feeding
industry continued to rank as one OF
the leaders in the state, with total
output of approximately $4,000, 900
oy lar the highest figure ever received
by stockmen for their livestock. OF
chat iigure about sos 100000 was from
ne saie OF stock for butchering and
about $15,O0O,000 from the sale Of
feeder stock. The severe winter oil
d year ago, combined with the nigh
prices of all stock feed, probably will
reduce to some extent the total value
of stock on feed this winter and will
probably occasion a shortage of live
stock in the state next year, as many
stockmen, fearing u continuation of
high feed prices, have sold off their
brood stock
The same condition exists to some
extent in the dairy field, but is prob
ably not as general as in the other de-
partments of the livestock industry.
High prices for all dairy products re-
suited in a record-breaking year in
1917, with total production of ap-
proximately Sl1,0OO,0OO. New cream
cries and condenseries are adding
rapidly to the market for dairy pro-
ducts and should maintain the high
level of that industry in the future
without serious diminution because OF
the high cost of feed.
A highly favorable season for poul-
trymen resulted in a remarkable in
crease in production, despite the high
cost of feed. Poultry and eggs have
commanded a good price through the
entire year and the total production
unquestionably will reach the high
mark of s6,75O,OOO, passing all former
years easily. In spite of the increased
production, however. Colorado annual
ly imports not less than S3,000.O00 in
poultry and eggs, so there is ample
room for even greater development in
this field.
The State Board of Immigration,
with the cordial and effective assist
anee of railroad colonization agents,
commercial bodies and other agencies,
has maintained constant effort to in
duce immigration from other sections
of the country, so that the unoccupied
or uncultivated lands Of the state may
be settled and cultivated and the
states agricultural production in
creased. II has also lent its aid to Sc
curing new industries for localities
wherein a real field was presented.
Within the next few months the de
partment will prepare and issue 4
Year Book-the first work of the kind
ever issued in Colorado-showing in
detail the production of the various
counties and other data Of interest to
the public.

The Something That Makes Empires
And again they would push on,
not knowing what the next day
would bring forth-an Indian mas
sacre, perhaps, an attack by wild
beasts or the loss of all their pos
sessions, in crossing some swollen
stream. But dogged. resolute. they
kept on, building up, day by day,
that something of which empires are
made.
And giving to their descendants,
even to the third and fourth gen.
Grafton, that grit, fiber, backbone
call it what you will-that has been
the saving grace of the American
people.
Sometimes we seem to lose this
quality, and grow soft, when luxury
overtakes us. but in the long run
it may be depended on when the
clinch comes, to land us-"over the
top"
To girls who have some of the
stoicism of the pioneer women in
their makeup, l would say, by all
means, marry your soldier boy and
God bless you. But to the butter
fly, don't take your feelings too Sc
riously-there will be other soldier
boys and other civilians, too, for
that matter.
The other day in a department
store, l noticed a girl in the act of
measuring something throw back
her head and pass her hand over her
face. | saw that her tears had
been too quick, and that she was
careful to save the delicate fabric
she was handling.
She told me her husband had left
for France about two weeks ago;
as he left her he called back: so
long, girl-I'll see you again. Il
know now" she said, "he meant
we'd meet again-somewhere
if he didn't come back"
He Couldn't Say "Good-by'
She went on to say, after he had
gone couple of hours, a messen-
ger had brought her a letter say
ing he was sailing next day-and
the one thing he could not do, was
to say "Good-by."
She had married him three months
before. with her parents consent
and they had promised to stand by
her through everything. In the
meantime. she had kept on with
her work in the department store,
so that she wouldn't have too much
time to think-and, throwing back

what are you going to get out of your
ugly bargain? l don't believe much
in "Iearning to love-" Learning to
admire and respect and be fond of a
man are all possible If he is kind and
generous and his character is fine. On
the other hand, love is not quite the
romantic. feverish, sentimental thing
of moonshine and kisses and heart
throbs which girls imagine it. With
affection, respect and congeniality,
you might find happiness. But with
nothing but money to give you joy,
how can you possibly feel like any
thing but a creature who has sold
herself? Think over you own feel
ings toward the man, and don't marry

upon tender, aching corn, instantly

without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at

the corn without infiaming or even

 Boss Smith and his pudgy lieu tenant are about as cheerful over Birmingham's prospects as a cou- pie of undertakers would be in Methusaluhs time. Moley looks like some of the folks were sick when you ask him what his line up will be for the opening game
 At present the twirling staff consists of Roman, Slapnicka, Glazner and Black-not exactly a pennant winning quartet, but re- liable men who, with the addition of couple of major league east offs, will make a formidable pitch ing staff.
 Pittsburg is slated to turn over two dependable pitchers, one of whom will probably be Carmen Hill.

 Danny Clark is a natural born ball player and he couldn't have 8 bad year If he wanted to. No need to worry about the keystone sack.
 Bersen, the first baseman, and DeBus, an infielder, are unknown quantities.
 In the outfield Cooms, South worth and Duncan, especially the last two, are good enough for any Southern league aggregation. Moley has a new man in Alten- berg. of whom he is expecting much.
 The above is what is left of Moley's lineup and it is no won der he doesn't have convulsions of joy over the outlook. When the totals are all in at the end of the season, though. the chubby pilot is always roosting in an upper limb, so don't weaken this early in the year

 Roy Ellam Is due to land in Vol town today, where he will immediate ly take up the managerial reins and attempt to patch up his draft-riddled team. Roy has been hit harder than most of the pilots and he is now angling with eastern owners to plug up the gaps caused by recruiting of- ficers. Overtures have been made Newark moguls for Ben Eagan, a backstopper. and Jack Lewis, an out fielder. Prexy Shropshire also has hopes of getting Koehler, who caught few games for Detroit last summer.

CONTEMPTIBLE IN BUSINESS

"Of all the contemptibe men in busi- ness it is the man who says l think SO never knows anything. You can't prize open Gods doors with human crow bars, but if you will fill up the room you occupy so full that you burst out the sides, when, you fall out God will pick you up and put you in a bigger place somewhere. There is many a fellow rat ting in bucket, and at the same time trying to get into a hogshead. It seems to me that it is easier to be vagabond than to be a man that is just drifting along.
 You have got to hold mighty strong and pull mighty straight if you pull men toward Christ. You climb into good habits and fall into bad one. A mighty good habit is reading the Bible It is glorious thing to get where, when you don't do right, you feel wrong about it, and have to go and do the right thing. I have the utmost contempt for the man who vii sit around the public stove and cuss; it's the height of ill manners, to say the least of it. for there might be a gentleman in the crowd. The most pathetic thing in the world is the man who comes to me with a bad habit and wants me to help him cor rect it.
 ''The most awful thing on earth is the dope fiend, and the greatest thing that this government ever did was to pass the Harrison anti-narcotic law, And the next greatest thing that they will do will be to ratify that national prohlbi- ton amendment.
