Report From Pennsylvania Back Up
Statement Which Have Been Made

The Pennsylvania Experiment Sta
ton has found that two tons of sill
age and 200 pounds of linseed meal
will carry 1900 pound beef cow
through the winter with some gain.
This is more proof that silage is in
dispensable to the producer of beef.
There is no need of winter losses in
live animals or in live weight in any
part of Colorado during normal
years. Shortage of crops some
years, due to drought, cannot be help

Early Diving Apparatus.


The first record Of the use of an
apparatus in diving, says writer In
the Christian Science Monitor, is when
Alexander the Great made descent
In machine which kept him dry and
allowed him to obtain air from a res
ervoir. Pliny writes about divers carry

their teeth. while the upper end was
attached TO a floating bladder, but II
was not until 1919 that Augustus Siebe
constructed an apparatus supplied with
compressed air by means of a hand
pump as today. His dress was an
open one with the air entering the
top of the helmet and escaping upler

STATE CAPITAL NEWS

Last week saw another candidate in
the field for the Republican nomina-
tion for senator, Sam d. Nicholson,
of Denver and Leadville. Karl Schuy-
Ter, of Denver, announced his candi-
dacy some weeks ago. Both men have
been, and are, prominent in business
and political circles in Colorado and
each in turn has his followers. The
contest for first place will be carried
on in friendly way. So far but one
candidate has appeared for governor,
Oliver SIoup and whether his nomi-
nation will be contested remains yet
to be seen. While Congressman
Vale, Hardy and Undertake have
rot yet announced themselves it is
common knowledge each will be in the
race to succeed themselves. Arthur
Stong, present state auditor, has an
nounced his candidacy for state treas
urer and Ed Wicks of Pueblo will be
a candidate for the same place.

See You Soon.

The other night a girl was asked to
leave a dance floor because she was
unchaperoned and under eighteen
years old. says the indianapolis News.
"She was seventeen years and fifty
weeks old, to he exact" says the man
ager OF the floor.
The girl left good-nsturedly.
"But I'll be back in two weeks" she
cried as she took the elevator to the
street.

You remember the story about the
fellow who killed the goose that laid
the golden egg and the magnificent
bump he got. Business enterprises
have been laying golden eggs in this
country. 1t is because of the develop
ment resulting from the activities Of
these business enterprises that we are,
today, the greatest nation on the face
Of the earth, and yet the youngest in
years of all the leading nations. Just
now tendency seems to be to destroy
that which made us great. Organiza-
tions of all kinds and under all sorts
of fancy and appealing names, have
sprung up to kill the goose of the
golden egg, by taking the industries
of the nation out of the hands of those
who have made those industries great
and turning them over to unskilled
workmen to manage as they see fit.
Wrongs may have been committed but
these came because of the character
of men not because of the system.
They will not be righted by destroy
ing business enterprises. The one
thing that spurs us all to greater ef-
ficiency is the hope of reward Nation
alization, socialism, sovietism, state
ownership or the Plumb plan would
remove this incentive and so destroy
efficiency and crush ambitious and as
pirations. The republican party has
ever stood for fairness and construc-
tion and you may be sure it will be
found in that position with both feet
this fall. The theories of cranks, the
isms of reformers, the deep laid
schemes of men with Interior motives
will not be encouraged by the repub-
lican party. That will be left to our
friends-the enemy.

Attorney Geenral Keyes has been Sc
lected by Judge Hersey to conduct, as
special prosecutor, all matters before
the present Denver grand jury affect
ing the office of District Attorney
Foley against whom charges have
been made. Although the names of
at least n hundred Denver attorneys
were suggested from which to make
the selection, Judge Hersey felt in Sc
lecting Attorney General Keyes he
would not only have a man who would
be absolutely fair and impartial in all
matters, but a man whose judgment
would be accepted by the members of
the grand jury without question. The
absolute fairness and painstaking way
the office of the attorney general has
been conducted under Mr.. Keyes, has
won him a great number of friends
among those who have had occasion
to do business with that office. and
has made him popular with those who
like to see merit rather than hot air
in public places.

Schools of Dunkeruue.

One Of the things that deeply i'm
pressed the company of journalists
from some twenty different nations
who recently visited Dunkerque in a
party was the story of the public
schools. Dunkerque. although it es-
capped occupation, was under constant
bombardment; the enemy at one time
and another had the city under fire
by land, sea and air, but, except for
short time in the beginning when the
buildings were used for war purposes,
the schools of Dunkerque, like those
of Reims, continued in session, and
new sclIool1touses were built. When
ever the city was bombarded, the pu-
pills, big and little, marched to the Gel
lar in orderly procession, and some
times the entire session was held there.
If schoollmuse was partly shattered,
1t was required at once, and school
promptly resumed; nothing, in short,
was allowed to interfere with the con-
tInuity Of the schools of Dunkerque.

OLD TURKISH TRADE UNIONS
Guilds Formed of Members Of Various
Industrial Vacations Common
in constantinople.

Whatever may be the eventual gov
ernment of Constantinople, the count
less guilds or corporations created by
members of the various industrial vo-
cations followed by the population will
probably respond slowly to the change.
In Constantinople, says writer on
Turkish life, every trade and calling
has it's own union, many Of which are
Of long ancestry: the esnaf. or guild,
of the shoemakers, for example, is
said to have been granted power to
judge and punish it's own members for,
public offenses as long ago as the six
teenth century, In return for some
service which it then rendered Sulei-
man the Magnificent Organized for
the common benefit as traders or work
ers, the members Sf the guilds are ad-
mitted irrespective of race or religion
80 long as they follow that particular
occupation. The business of the or
ganization is conducted in lodges. the
officers of which have been held re-
sp0nSibIe for the gond behavior Of
members Although future conditions
in ConstantiDople will doubtless modi-
fy them, the esnafs will probably con-
tinue to be power.

Peanut Now lmportant Crop.

The peanut has accomplished Won
ders for agricultural development, and
has increased production by acres and
doubled the value Of land in many
sections. 1t similarly helped Alabama
through the crisis when the appear
ance of the weevil played havoc In
the cotton fields Of that state. 1t has
done well throughout the South, and
Virginia. which formerly stood first In
its production, has sunk to fifth place.
The peanut oil industry has added
to the value of the crop, and this year
the total harvest and value were the
greatest ever recorded, in spite of o
reduction in acreage. The once de.
spised peanut has proved itself valu-
