WELCOME DEATHS COLD HAND
Little Wonder That Men Who Realize
Their Appalling Loneliness Should
End II All.

Alone. Not n living soul near to
whom to speak Forsaken II seems al
most by God. whose presence scarce
can penetrate the confused jungle OF
the city slums. Alone and penniless,
with none to know or care. II Is a
harder lot by far than death. What
wonder that men die?
Alone-with bitter thoughts of fail
ure crowding through the interstices
Of sluggish brain. Alone--with moi
even two coins to rub in warming
friction, clammy hands thrust into
empty pockets. II is hard to live and
doubly hard to die. What wonder that
men Kill that breathing, pulsing thing
within we call lifel What wonder
that men pass by their own hand
from living death to deathless living?
They come and stay with US while

themselves defied. And only they

ENGLISH MIDDLE

Combine to Protect Selves From
Aggressions Of Capital
and Labor.

Members of the great middle class
OF England at last hat, taken steps
TO organize to protect their own inter-
ests against the aggressions of cap
ital on the one hand and increasing
wages of workmen on the other. Lead
ers OF the middle class declare that
only by organization can they escape
an unfair share of the burdens Of
life.
English people of education and
moderate incomes have felt for some
time that they were being ground be-
tween the upper and neither millstones

A preliminary meeting was held un.
der the chairmanship of Mai. ]. II.
Pretyman Newman. member Of parla-
ment. 1t was decided to call the or
ganization the Middle Glass union.'
Among the purposes of the union are.
ITO remove undue burdens upon the
middle class, including the cost of liy.
Ing.
ITO protect the middle class against
bureaucratic and industrial tyranny.
"ro combine for common protection
Of those members of the community
who have no organization to safeguard
their interests"
Letters appearing in support of the
union show that many army officers
and other soldiers are deeply inter.
ested in the movement. One. soldier
wrote.
Unless we of the middle classes or

stroy the anarchical aggressions of Ger.

How the middle class union will be
received In the political field by the
capitalists and the trade unions which,

FRANK D0NNECAN HURT
IN AUTO COLLISION

Sunday evening about ten O'Clock.
Frank Donnegan was badly hurt
when a motorcycle in which he WIS
riding. driven by Glen Dunlap. col
lided with Ford driven by Noel
Clark.
Both the motorcycle and the Ford
were without lights and we suspec.
that both gas driven vehicles were
going at least ten miles an hour.
Both cars turned to the left instead
OF the right, but neither turned far
enough, with the result that the cars
came together with tremendous force.
Frank was mashed up badly, his
left leg was broken in two places and
the bone protuded from the flesh.
BESIDES he was badly cut around the
head and face. IL took about three
hours for DR.. Miller to reduce the
fracture and dress the cuts.
Monday Mr.. Donnegan decided
that it would be best TO get the lac,
into a hospital and he was taken tu
Denver.
Mr. Rppsnider went with them and
returned yesterday morning. He
says that the patient is getting along
ine and II there are no eomplica
tons he should be back home before

BULLETIN ON WEEDS

The control of weeds is one of the
most important problems the farmer
has to face. DR.. w. w. Robbins and
Breeze Boyaek of the Colorado Agri.
cultural College have written a bulle
tin upon this subject, which is now
in press and will prove very useful
to the farmers of this state: con
tanning much information which II
will be desirable to carefully preserve
for future reference.
Among other things the bulletin
discusses the nature Of various weeds
how they are introduced into the
territory; how they are spread some
principles of weed control, with spe
eial attention to systems of rotatio.l
to overcome weeds; and complet
description of the principal Colorado
weeds, with illustrations.
The bulletin is indexed, making Il
very usable. A copy will be mailed
to any person In Colorado desiring
one, when the bulletin comes from
tha press. II may be obtained by ad-

INDIANS SEEK UPLIFT
Those Living in One Village Would
Better Themselves.

Natives of Hoonah, an Indian vii.
lage near Juneau, Alaska, have recent.
ly taken such radical steps toward an
advancing trend of civilization that
other native villages are wondering
what they will try next.
First the Hoonah tribe abolished the
cider business, an apparently harmless
one, but one which was said to have
caused much trouble among the ma
tiyes. Next the Hoonah natives de-
ellned to attend an Indian feast ut
Swanson Harbor, thereby hoping to
discourage the giving Of feasts and
continuing of ancient customs.
After electlng native council Hoo
nah built jail and hospital.
Whether as a reward for these signs
Of progress or not, the forestry depart
ment has agreed to send an agent to
survey Hoonah townslte, so that each
native may receive title to a building
lot.

CHANCE FOR COAL EXCHANGE
sr'taln Has Too Much Anthracite and
New York Has a Surplus Of
5ituminous.

In England the coal controller

anthracite In place Of bltuminous coal.
de offers to exchange Two tons of
large anthracite for every ton of bi-
luminous coal that consumers have on
hand. In the eastern United States
the fuel administration has been try
Ing to get consumers to use bituminous
coal In place Of anthracite. Welsh
anthracite mines are operating on part
time, while English and Welsh btu
minous coal mines are working over
time. says the New York Commercial.
This would be fine chance for ex-
change of products If shipping were
available, and 1t soon will be- New
York city needs anthracite and can get
a surplus of bitumlnous coal. Eng
land needs the latter and can spare
the former. In England most OF the
people do not know how to burn an
thracite. New Workers are ignorant
OF the way to use bituminous coal. The
English persist In using open CRATES
for heating rooms, and find II hard
to make anthracite burn In them. In
New York the open crate is found only
In the homes Of the wealthy. Eng
land shivers with plenty OF anthracite

REGISTERED WARRANTS
OR SCHOOL BONDS

The school debt of this school dis
trict consists of its school bonds and
registered warrants. Both draw &
per cent interest There has been
talk that the district should issue
bonds to take up the outstands =
warrants. but with the interest rate
the same there seemed to be no on-
Iect in doing so, and ii has been the
hope of the board that the outstan j.
ing warrants could be gradually re-
tired.
However, such procedure would
require quite number Of wears TO
get where all registering could lg
avoided, or else it would make We
high taxes for say four years. Va
are told that now bond can -
hoated at 5h percent, at par a IA
perhaps little better. II would SEE n
to be good policy to issue the bond ],
take up the warrants, and thea
teachers and others would be able %
cash their warrants when receive
without any discount.
In the first instance 1t may seem
that the discounts are paid by those
receiving them, but teachers aal
others working for the district VIII
always have that discount In miad
when making contracts. so that in
the end the discounts come back on
TO the district.
The board is considering the MAJ.
ter, and would like to know the sen
tlment of the people. or course, an
election would have to be held. bat
if sentiment seemed to be decidedly
opposed. there would be no use IL

LOGAN COUNTY MAN

Sunday was day OF more than
the usual amount OF exciting events
In Raymer In addition to accidents
MT c. b. Roach attempted to take
his life.
Mr. Roach is son-in-law al
John Heller, who lives southwest OF
Raymer. NJ w. Bailey had starteo
to drive with Roach TO the Heller
nome and had some difficulty with
his car near the county line, when
Roach got out and started to drink
from bottle OF wood alcohol ami
also to do himself injury with too,s
about the auto These were tai en-
from him and he then started across
the country and as he neared The
Mooberry house he broke a 'sstile

his throat and wrists. Mr.. Bailey se
cured the assistance of Arleigh ST.
Clair and ran Roach down and hrot
him back to town. Mr.. Leach took
him to Sterling where he was exa,1-
ined for his sanity and on this head
the Sterling evening Advocate Of
Tuesday says:
&c. B. Roach, who was taken int
custody by Sheriff Whittier Sunda
after he had attempted to tax his
own life by drinking wood alcohol
is still being held in the county ;ail
and is being closely observed by the
authorities to determine his sanity
Roach was tried Monday Afternoon
In the county court before a lunacy
commission which pronounced him
to be sane. The commission. aowev-
er, was not thoroughly satisfied With
its decision, and today further inges-
tigation was made as to the rental
condition Of Roach. The egldence
seemed lto indicate that his mind il
deranged, and It was ordered that
he be held several days waiting fur
ther developments.
Roach denies today, officers de-
clare. that he made a confession
Monday that he killed Marsh.
In recalling the death OF Marsh,
which occurred on or about January
Fl, 1918, several who were present
at the coroners inquest which was
held over the body shortly after II
was found have expressed the opin-
ion that in their mind the confess
sion which officials claim Roac made
is irresponsible and these people
claim that the evidence at the time
was conclusive that the act was com
mitted by Marsh. himself
1.-THE position in which Marshs
body was found, and the nature OF
the wound, the fact that the dead
mans mouth and throat were badly
burned with carbolc acid and that
an empty bottle which had contained
the carbolic acid ws found near tho
body, they point out. indicate that
Marsh ws his own slayer

WATCH OUT
) FOR CUTWoRMs

At this season Of the year worma
commonly known as cutworms are
doing more or less damage to alfalfa
fields and garden crops.
These worms have been hibernat
ing in the ground all winter and they
will be quite numerous and active
until they become full grown, which
is about the middle or latter part Of
May, when they enter the soil, pu-
pate and transform to a moth. chas

al College, gives the following sug-
gestions for the control Of thdi
= ests:
- "Plowing and disking in late fall,
will, under ordinary conditions,
materially help in the control Of this
pest. In areas where the worms are
concentrated, and in gardens, an ap-
plication OF paris green bran mash
will prove very effective. The formu-
la is as follows
Paris green --------- l pound
Bran -----5 so pounds
Syrup ---------------- quar-
Water -----2h 2h gallon
mix the paris green and bran
while dry until an even color is at
tained Then stir in the syrup and

Scatter this thinly over the infested
area late in the afternoon. The
amount above is sufficient to cover
about three acres.
