THE NEW

A mn Nemic was pallid maid,

While Ruby Kund's full face be-

Her life hang by a thread.
Their doctors, acting in collision,
Arranged a simple blood transfus-

"Well, WE'LL" said Doctor A to B.,
"That surely seems some stunt.
Now, there's my patient, Mrs. c.,
Who's porcine to the nth degree,
And fat enough to grunt.
And there's you patient, D., so
thin
His bones are bobbing through his
skin.
Why not transfuse her fat to him
So he'll be plump and she'll be
thin?"
"Fine work" said B, ''and I main

The process cannot fliyver.
No longer need man complain
Because of softening of the brain,
Or hardening of the liver.
Well simply find his complement,
Transfuse them to the right per

And both of them will doubtless

"Of course" said Doctor B. to A.,
Some folks will call US quacks,

Well smile and let the symbol

For it is merit still, l hold,
To transmute common brass to

LARGER CROP
WORTH LESS

Although the aggregate produc-
tion Of all crops in Colorado in 1920
was by far the largest in the his
tory OF the state their value will be
considerably less than that Of last
yaer's crops. as result Of the heavy
decline in prices Of farm products
that has occurred in the past four
months.
A few examples will illustrate the
magnitude OF the loss suffered by
farmers because OF this price de-
cline.
The total production of wheat In
the state this year is above 27,O0O,-
600 bushels. according to the final
estimates compiled by the Colorado
Cooperative Crop Reporting Service.
compared with an estimated pro-
duction OF about 1S,400, 900 bushels
In 1919 Yet the value OF this years
crop at prices prevailing on Decem-
ber lst was about $40, 100000 COM
pared with value of $4,000 900
for last years crop at December 1st
prices. The output of corn this year
is estimated at about l7,4O0, 900
bushels. compared with 1l,750, 900
last year. and the value of thisyear's
crop is about sl2, ,200.0 900, compar-
ed with s16.GOO, 900 for last years
crop. The potatoe crop this year is
ten per cent less than that OF last
year, but this years crop is worth
only about $4,000 compared
with $1S,000.000 for last years
crop.

TRAINS SMASH At
RAyMER MONDAY

The two fast trains on the Bur-
iington came together in Raymer
Monday at the west switch.
Fortunately the west bound had
come to a stand still at the station
and the east bould was slowing
down for the station when they
came together. sf
Probably the moving train was
not travelling more than ten miles
an hour. The dense fog q the
morning was at its worst at that
time. The fireman of the moyinl
train had his face close to the glass
to see what they might be approach
ing, when the bump came and his
head was jammed through the glass,
cutting his face some and we un-
derstand that the glass was COM
pletely ruined.
The switch was torn up consider
bly,, one OF the mail clerks had a
cash cut in his head which DR.. MIL
er dressed. and one Of the passengers
was shaken up some.
The pilot on the west bound en-
glne was broken SO badly 1t had to
be removed before the train could
go on.
The section crew were brought
from Stoneham to fix up the switch
an both trains got out OF town a
couple Of hours after the smash.

THE BERMyDAs

The Bermuda islands suggest the
adventures Of Robinson Crusoe In their
colonization and present in their later
chronology curious parallel to United
States history. with the events pre-
dated by number Of years.,
The Robinson Crusoe comparison
obtrudes because the island was dis.
covered and later settled as the direct
result Of shipwrecks, and the settlers
had to build themselves a bark to set
sail again.
As for the anticipation Of American
history on miniature scale, II may
be noted that the colonization took
place seven years before the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth, Mass. that witch.

But the essential point Of contact Of
