ing to District One and then the Nor
NAL. As a county we are rich enough
and broad minded enough to do our
share. The state in its last legisla-
tive enactment generously gave a lib
cral appropriation for the Normal.
. We should be as liberal for the Coun-
ty High School, for it is our children
who will enjoy the high school and
also get the benefit in part of the state
buildings and their up-keep.
Last year, many said, lets wait till
the war is over; it costs too much to
build now" They failed to take into
consideration, that it is unlikely that
building or anything else will be any
cheaper for years and years, even in
the unlikely event that war should
cease suddenly.
There is absolute physical require
ment for the building. We will not
get It cheaper by waiting. We owe
it to our children and to the state,
and to ourselves. We can well afford
it, for what is 2Oc thousand to the
taxpayers, in comparison with the
benefits received.
Let us be united in this as We were
when we rallied to the support of the
Normal and won it from dozen
stronger competitors. Let US show
100 per cent loyalty to the schools as
we do for the Liberty Loan and as
We did when the stockmen asked US
to defeat the herd law, and in many
other instances when something vital
was at stake. Small differences of
opinion should not count. It's the

B.. true. Those lots are an asset of the
County High School and are increas-
ing in value. They can readily be
sold at more than they cost. The

The advantage Of the cooperation Of
the two schools six or seven years
ago were on the side Of the Norma
School At that time the financial
assistance which the High School was
able TO give saved the day for the
Normal School. But il is entirely a
different proposition now. The STATE
is supporting the Normal School ade-
quately now and Is building it up so
that it is d credit TO Western Colorado.
Its future is assured. The advantages
Of the cooperation now are on the side
Of the High School. We have every
thing to gain and nothing TO lose BY
continuing this arrangement
As Z part OF the building plan of
the Normal School, our High School
can be an homo able and substantial
part. A. q separate building removed
from the Normal School our proposed
$50 100000 building would be entirely
inadequate for our present High

bringing with them Kessler Morris,

er DR.. Macintosh had sewed up Mr..
Morris knee cap, they returned home
again.
Twelve men are at work on the
Carter property above Ohio City, but
50 far this is the only mine on Gold
Creek to open for the season. Mr..
Carter is taking out mill ore and ex-
poets to start the mill as soon as the
weather is favorable.
The rotary crew succeeded Wednes-
day afternoon in pushing thru to Flor
esta hard coal mines, releasing the
miners and towns folks imprisoned
there for long weary months. Consid-

at the Buttes. Some fifty men are
now employed at the Smith Anthracite
and the production promises TO in

A rush of prospectors looking for
molybdenum is expected in all mineral
fields this spring. However, this rare
metal, now so necessary for hardening
steel, which along with tungsten and
manganese is almost as much sought
after as gold, can be found in but few
localities. However, there is quite a
stretch of mineral territory between
Ohio City and Pitkin and Tin Cup,
where it is found.
Unwatering of the Forest Queen
mine at Irwin has been completed last
week by Mr.. Botsford, who had the
contract. The lower workings are be-
ing cleaned out and exhibit some fine
ore reserves. 1t is the intention of
the Mugollon Mines Co. of New Mex
leo, now operating the property, to at
once erect a modern mill at Irwin and
to treat the bulk of the ore from the
Forest Queen. That will mean great
things for Irwin and GO far toward re-
juvenating the camp.

PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTION

If there is heavy growth on you

a compost pile in one corner OF thu

must be reached by degrees. When
starting, work only to the line Of
demarcation between the surface and

tool this season.
After working in the lime, spread
broadcast a good layer Of well-rotted

of old chicken manure, and hoe the
ground over again, thoroughly mix

Open the rows, which should be

Wet the ground thoroughly, and do
not plant for at least week; ten
