Daring Hearts" at the St. Charles
Theatre, next Sunday, June 8th. 1919,

cause you are thrill-proof. A wilder,
woolier, dizzier, buster comedy than
this. with Chester Conklin as the
chief ccompounder of darkly conceiv-
ed villainly was never aeroplaned
across the screen. From his aeroplane
he drops bombs on an automobile ra
cling after him. A concrete bridge Is
blown up. At one point he is whirled
around on the propeller of the aero
plane. The elimination of all these da-
ring feats will be- known only by at
tending the st. Charles Theatre next
Sunday evening and witnessing these
daring acts until the end
there will also be shown
in connection with this comedy,
''The Little Rowdy'' in every sense
an artistic production, bright, breezy
comedy of the better sort. A little
laughter goes a long way. See it at
the st. Charles Theatre next Sunday
evening at 5 and P. M. Admission 5

Supreme Court
Says Bonds Good,

A decision of the State Supreme
Court last Monday set at rest the sus-
picions and doubts that had
been raised in the minds
of bond holders and inves-
tors regarding the legality of road
bonds in Louisiana. The decision, as
we announced last week, would have
had a baneful effect and was received
-,ith much fear by all interested in
nc state's growth. Fortunately the
decision rendered this week by jus
ice O'Neil, concurred in by the ha-
iaroe Of the court, TO which Chief Jus
tice Monroe dissented, puts the matter
right and says bonds can be issued for
a longer period than ten
years and for as much
as. zen mills. This will prevent the
good road building in Louisiana from
being effected. The news was received
with good grace all over the state and
put new life in road building in this
and other parishes now busily engag-
ed in the work.

my life to Peruna. After some of
the best doctors in the country
gave me up and told me I could
not live another month, Peruna
saved me. Trayelling from town
and having to go into all kinds
of badly heated stores and build

hours at a time while plying my
trade as auctioneer, it is only
quently; so when this would
occur / paid little attention to it,
until last December when I con-
tracted a severe case. which,
through neglect on my part
settled on my lungs. When al
most too late, i began dOctoring,

General Crop News

There has been no general rain
during the past week and crops
are suffering severely for want of
moisture in some sections of the
state, particularly in the north
central counties, where there has
been little rain this month. In
the southeastern half of the state,
in the San Luis valley and on the
western slope there has been
much more moisture than in the
north central counties and crops
are not suffering materially. In
the past ten days there have been
local showers in the central, east
ern and southeastern part of the
state. Small grain is maturing
rapidly and in general conditions
in the eastern part of the state,
where most of the wheat of the
state is produced, are more favor
able than they were at this time
last year. In the north central
counties, however, much of the
non-irrigated wheat has been en-
tirely ruined by the drouth. Re-
ports received by the Colorado
Cooperative Crop Reporting Ser
vice indicate in a general way
that the average yield per acre
of winter wheat will be greater
than last year in all districts ex-
cept the north central counties.
The same is true of barley and
rye, but it is somewhat too early
to forecast what the results will
be with reference to spring wheat
and oats. Corn is progressing
fairly well, though it is somewhat
late. The acreage this year will
be the largest in the history of the
state.

improvements Being Made
at Cold Spring

Citizens of Central and Black
Hawk who were out to Cold
Spring Sunday picnicking, equip
ped with hammers and saws and
load of lumber generously dom
ated by Peter McFarlane, spent
a portion of the day in improving
the playground. They made five
tables with benches on either side
so that those who spend their ev-
enings or Sundays at that delight
full spot can picnic in comfort and
away from the insects that creep
on the ground. The tables and
benches are nestled among the
pines and quaken aspen, shaded
from the sun and protected from
the wind. More tables and bench
es are to be built this month and
a pavilion of some kind will be
erected to shelter the picnickers
from the showers. The roadway
will be widened to allow sufficient
room for parking cars.
Cold Spring is truly one of nat
ure's beauty spots. 1t is ideally
located for rest place and pleas
ure ground, with long range of
majestic, snow-capped mountains
in close view, providing scenic
grandeur, and an ever flowing
stream of purest water from a
spring that bubbles from the
mountain side. Cold Spring is be-
coming known to the seekers of
outdoor life in the valley and ev-
cry Sunday finds several auto
loads of city dwellers mingling
with the mountaineers at this in
viting picnic ground.

Smelter Issues New
Schedule of Charges

The following notice of increase
in smelter rates has been received
by ore shippers during the past
week:
Denver, Colo, June %, 1919.
Dear Sirs:
In view of the higher price for
silver, and the necessity for the
Smelling company to participate
in some degree in this increased
price in the way of additional
treatment, when the value of ship
ments warrant, the following mod
ification will be made in the
schedule providing for treatment
charges based on the value of
material, and on shipments made
hereafter, this treatment charge
will be as follows:
When the gross value per ton
is $35.00 and under, treatment
charge will be $3.50 per ton, add
ing twenty per cent of the in
crease above $500 per ton to the
treatment charge until a maxi
mum treatment charge of $40. 90
per ton is obtained.
In other words, the present
graduated treatment charges of
$500 to $500 per ton, when the
valuation varies from over $500
to $4,000 per ton are cancelled,
and the above modification sub
stituted, there being no charge in
the present treatment when value
is $500 per ton or under. This
change does not affect dry concen-
trates, and only affects dry or
lead ores and lead concentrates
when the treatment charge is
based on valuation, when the
modification above mentioned will
apply. Very truly yours,
EDWIN ANDERSON.

The Eccentric Mr.. Willard

Toledo, July 1.-Jess Willard,
the champion, is an eccentric sort
of man and it requires a great
deal of diplomacy to handle him.
Frinstance, he seldom wears a
fur cap in the summer time. He
prefers straw hat.
He invariably eats breakfast in
the morning instead of waiting
till bedtime.
Willard never lets his wife cut
his hair. He believes a barber
can do it better.
When driving an auto he keeps
to the right in case he meets an
other car. He thinks it is bad
luck to keep to the left.
He wears shirts that open in
front. He says it takes too long
to button one up the back.
Willard is superstitious as to
dates. He positively refused to
fight on Feb. 20.

which is prospect drift and
gains depth in the mountain and
also gives good air connection for

Metal mining is the only large
industry in Colorado that is not
