GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Colorado exhibits of farm products
captured thirteen premiums in the In
ternational Grain and Hay Show, re-
Gently held at Chicago, which has been
pronounced the largest and most re-
preventative show of its kind ever held
in this country. In addition to the
eight prizes taken by John Howell of
Montrose county, which has already
been announced, four prizes were won
on exhibits from Logan county, shown
under the direction of James E. Nor
rison, county agricultural agent, as
follows: White dent corn, third prem
ium; yellow dent corn, third premium;
hard winter wheat, fifteenth and six
teenth premiums; durum wheat, elev-
cnth premium. All these exhibits took
money prizes in competition with the
best products from the United States
and Canada. Some idea of the magni-
tude of the show may be gathered
from the fact that there were 1923 en-
tries in one winter wheat class and
SO in another. Colorado's winnings in
corn are especially gratifying, since
they were made in competition with
corn from the best corn growing sec
tions of the country.
Increase in Colorado Farming
Through the collection by county as
.aeenrg Of arraoara raportg for oil ,n,
portant Colorado crops the State I'm
migration Department has been able
to show during the current year that
the acreage of land in cultivation in
Colorado is far in excess of what those
best informed regarding agricultural
development have believed it to be.
These reports show that the area IN
cultivation in the state this year, in
Guiding native hay but not including
orchards, is approximately 5,500,000,
or fully 100000 acres more than has
been shown by the estimates for any
preceding year. The increase in cul-
tivated area in the state in the past
few years has been so rapid that those
whose task it has been to keep re-
cords on agricultural development have
been unable to show the full extent
of the growth. The census bureau
showed but 2,614.O 900 acres in cult
vation ten years ago. The United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates show
cd but 900, 900 acres of wheat harvest
cd in the state in 1916. whereas the
records prepared by county assessors
show that more than 100000 acres
was harvested this year. The records
Of the same bureau showed but 27,000
acres Of rye harvested in the state in
1916, while county assessors records
show approximately 5000 acres hai-
vested in 1919. Since this was the
first year records of this charact. r
were ever prepared by county asses
ors II is fair TO assume that they are
not so complete as they will be in the
future. Data of this character is es-
pecially important in state where
agricultural development is very rapid
as it has been in Colorado in the past
ten years.

This is the story Of Miss Mary e.
Hallam, who for forty-five years pre-
cnding her death worked in a Chicago
department store:
When Miss Hallam began to earn
her living she had the same qualiflca.
Tons for success that everyone has

She had something else as good II not
better-an appreciation of the advan.
Ages of thrift and an answering am.
bition to succeed.
Department-store salaries are not
generally regarded as the best stepping
stones toward prosperity. Yet Miss
Hallam pr0spered. She saved a part
OF her wages each week and invested
them well. She never speculated. She
put her money only into such invest.
nents as would yield a sure interest
return. Upon her death she left an
estate valued at $4,000.
Had Miss Hallam, during the earlier
years Of her progress toward pros
perity, had the advantage of investing
In Liberty bonds, her pace would have
been still more rapid. In her younger
days there were no government bonds
available. In order to be sure that
her investments were safe she care
fully studied the investment field and
accepted a comparatively low rate OF
interest. But she succeeded in spite
Of that.
American men and women, starting
out today, have a great advantage
The war has for the first time since
1866 made government bonds Of the
United States available to the small
investor. Before 1917 the small gov.

the banks for their own special uses.
But now Liberty bonds may be bought
by everyone and at higher rate OF
interest than would ever have been
possible had it not been for the war,

the people one more chance to partici.

Miss Hallams story shows that any.

common sense shows that everybody
who is saving can find no investment
quite as good as Uncle Sans Victory

SAVE NOW FOR OLD AGE
Where Will You Stand at Sixty-five-
What You Do Now Provides
for the Future.

Do you want to be dependent on
friends, relatives or charity when you
are sixty-fve years old? If not, get
ready to buy Victory Liberty bonds to
the utmost of your present ability, and
lay them away against old age.
This advice is founded upon the re-
searches of the statisticians employed
by the life insurance companies They
have devoted much study to the prob.
lem Of dependency, and they know.
They have found that of one hundred
healthy average young men who start
out in life at the age Of twenty-five
years:
Thirty-six will be dead before they
reach the age of sixty-five, most OF
them leaving families unprovided for.
OF the remaining sixty-four men, at
the age of sixty-five years:
One will be rich
Four will be fairly well-to-do.
Five will be supporting themselves
by working.
FIFTY-FOUR will be dependent
upon friends, relatives or charity.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE
NUMBERED AMONG THE FIFTY.
FOUR, FORM THE HABIT OF saw.

SAFEST INVESTMENT FOR YOUR
SAVINGS is IN UNITED STATES
