The Y. NJ. G. A. also provides
guides to show the way to many
points of interest in this locality.
For eight days we soldiers have the
privilege of enjoying all the comforts
Of WHICH the Y. NJ. c. A. has provid-

sights which am enjoying but
would rather tell you personally. 1
am sending you small book from
this place. which. if you will read,
Will tell you more than I could ever
write. I hope you do read it and
judge accordingly.
Only ten men out of Company

one among the lucky but my Cap

go he would put my name down.

First Bottled Beer.

One of the funniest of accidental
discoveries relates to bottled beer. In
the reign of Queen Mary a certain
dean of st. Paul's and master of West.
minister school had to fy to the con.
tinent for his life. He was angling by
the silvery Thames at the time the
warning reached him. Some years
later he returned not only to Eng.
land. but to the very spot for the
very same purpose, with rod and line.
Growing thirsty, he remembered that
he had left bottle of beer in the
hollow of a neighboring tree when he
had suddenly taken flight some years
before. The bottle was there, blu:
when he removed the cork 1t went
OF with such a bang as to make him
think 1t had been changed by the fai.
ries to gun.

LETTER FROM THE FAR WEST.
Denver, Colo. April 4, 1919.
Il

DeHVeT, COlO., April 4, 1919.
Editor Independent:
AS l ain a reader of your most in
teresting paper each week and enjoy
reading it, perhaps it will not be tres
passing on your space or your good
nature to contribute an article for
publication in your columns. No
doubt some of your readers have re-
| latives and friends located in this
Western country. 1 have met sew
| eral West Virginia investors that are
interested in mining and real estate
in different parts Of Colorado and
Wyoming. There are several persons
from your county making their homes
in Denver. Among the number is
! Miss Matte l.. Correll with whom I
have BEEN interested in real estate
transactions for several years. Miss
Correll has in the past year disposed
of lands she owned in South Dakota
and purchaed a couple of good rental
residence properties in this city Her
ing. room sos, where she welcomes
her West Virginia friends who are in
quest of information concerning this
western country.
Colorado has great many health
resorts located in the foothills and
mountains, at an altitude ranging
from a mile to IA 900 feet elevation.
There is no doubt in my mind
about the curative qualities of this
climate. People from all over the
United States come here every sum
mer and camp out for a month then
return to their homes in normal
health. Free camping privileges are
maintained at all tine city and noun
tain parks, which enables person
and family 10 live at little expense.
Denver has a population Of about
275, 900. This estimate is taken
from the city directory. There are
several suburban towns adjoining
which are connected by trolley lines
the fare being only six cents. To
the east of the city Is located the
large U. S. Army recuperating hos
pital and south. about three miles
from the end of the car line, is To-
| Gated Fort Logan which is at pres
ent filed to its full capacity with
soldiers just returned from France
| waiting TO be mustered out of SER
vice.
Now. Mr.. Editor. il this escapes
the waste basket. you may hear from
me again. II. HARRISON.

Southern Grain Crops Show

Baltimore, September l9.-(Speciall
The total grain crops of the southern
states for the present year, according
to statistics compiled by the Manufac-
turers Record, will show a gain of about
S2G, 900, coo bushels over the crops of last
year. while in the rest of the country
there will be a decline based on the Sep
TENDER / estimates of about 3oI,o0o,oo9
bushels. The south has thus by the
enormous increase in it's grain crops
saved the nation from a disastrousy
short crop
The total grain crops of the south
this year will aggregate about $1,000 GOO
bushels, while the rest of the country
viii have an output of about 1881 900 600
bushels. In other words, the south this
year will produce more than 30 per cent
of the entire grain crop of the United
States.
The value of the south's grain crops
this year, based on September prices,
would amount to nearly $1,000, 900, or
an increase of $685. 100000 over the value
