Maintenance Of County Highways

Adequate financial arrangements
having been made the two essentials
for the successful maintenance are an
efficient organization and suitable
equipment. While these two should
work hand in hand the former is real
ly fundamental. Without it the lat
ter can only modify conditions in q
small degree. However, once the or
panization is complete the matter of
|up-to-date equipment will be given
proper attention.
The statutes of Colorado provide for
a County Road Supervisor or overseer
appointed by the County Commission
ers who shall have charge of all the
road work of the county. He should
always be practical road man, good
executive and leader of men. Since
he has charge of the construction Of
roads and bridges AS well as the main
tenance of the same. it is advisable
that he be competent engineer. In
many cases the County Engineer will
possess all these qualifications.
When such a man has been found he
should be given complete charge OF
personel OF the organization and the
work to be done. the County Commis-
sioners merely outlining the policies
to be persued. He should be free from
political influence and be retained in
office as long as his work is satisfaet-
ory regardless of the political changes
in the board of County Commissioners.

BONDS CARRIED
Vista Del Rio Drainage District Now
Assured as Going Reclama.
tiOn Project.

On Tuesday of this week the land
owners under the Vista del Rio Drain
age District held u bond election to
pass upon the question of authorizing
an issue of $4,000 in bonds of the
district. the issue to be used in the
construction of a system OF drainage
canals and ifrigating bitches that will
redeem the seeped lands OF the dis
trict and also utilize the surplus water
thus developed in irrigating lands
along the line OF the drainage canal.
The plans call for the reclamation
Of several thousand acres of the very
best lands that lie just north of La

west of the river bridge and when the
system is completed it will prove one
Of the biggest enterprises for the pro
motion of the prosperity of this section
of the county yet undertaken.
These districts are no longer the ex
pertinent they were when the May Val
ley farmers had the nerve to under

Arkansas valley, but have proved
themselves in case after case as the
reclaimers of some of our very choie-
est lands.

1t becomes the duty of the Republi-
cans in every county in the state to
name the ablest men they can find for
the legislature. In fact this is year
when men who say they cannot afford
to leave their business to come to
Denver for matter of sixty days,
must be made to see it is their duty
to forget self and business and take a
hand in the management Of civic al
fairs. There has been something oil
a systematic movement for many years
to prevent the best men going to the
legislature. and in consequence many
have slipped into that body who were
not qualified to pass upon the neces-
sity or value of legislation. The coun-
try needs. and must have, the very
best men in the Legislature and it is
clearly up to the Republicans to see
they go.

Seeing the Wheat Belt

]. v. Sayler, cashier of the Valley
State Bank, says that our citizens
can't appreciate just what wheat
country there is to the south Of US
unless they see it from above. On
last Wednesday he took the trip by
airplane to Two Buttes and he says
the view you get Of the hundreds of
large wheat fields at one time from
above would simply astound anyone
and especially those who have always
held to the idea that nothing can be
raised here without irrigation He says
there is no special locality but every
where over the south territory the land
is dotted with these large fields Of
grain either in the stack or ripening.

MANY SEEKING PERMITS TO
 TO DEVELOP ALASKA OIL.

A report from Juneau states that 300 applications have been filed at the U. s. land office since the pass age of the oil leasing bill. The total acreage of the claims covered by these applications is 69O,333 acres, more than half of the ground being located in the Cold Bay district.
 Between October IS and the time this information was received from the territorial capital, total of 66 applications were filed, covering 161- 500 acres. Almost 75 per cent of these filings were entered by people locating claims in the Cold Bay dis trict. One new field was opened dur ing that period, being inland from Aniakchak bay. Two applications were received from there and it is said the district is very promising, excellent surface indications having been found, including heavy de- posits of seepage.
 Reports from the Cold Bay dis trict tell of an extension of the western side of Lake Becharof, to- ward Bristol bay, which is said to be equally as promising as the central area.
 Thirteen oil leasing and prospect ing permits, covering 28,680 acres, have been received at the Juneau land office, all of them issued by the department of the interior on November 10. The land is situated in the Katalla, Yakataga and Clod Bay districts.

AN ITALIAN VIEW

The fate of the League of Ma tions depends upon the moral CO., operation of those peoples who, in spired by a true sense of jusGce' are conscious of the necessity for solidarity in international relations, Count Sforza, Italian minister ot foreign affairs. has written in a circular letter to Italian diplomatic agents abroad, says an Associated Press report from London.
 In his instruction to Italian dip lomatic agents, Count Sforza ex- pressed his ideas on the league, speaking of the realization of its imperfections by the states which contributed to it's formation and of the necessity for the admission of states not then members in order that the leagues authority can be assured and its structure perfected.
 As result of the bitter criticism and loud praise of the league, there has been considerable scepticism of the new institution. wrote Count Sforza, therefore making the diffu- sion of exact knowledge of what the League of Nations really is the more valuable for restraining diff dent and sceptical censors as well as superficial and irresponsible eu- logists. He continued:
 Ut is necessary to instill the firm conviction that the new institution which has been invoked for cen turies by the Italian philosophical and legal doctrine, represents a higher degree of the evolution of law based on higher unity than that of the state. The creation of a League of Nations aims at secur- ing the integrity of it's members and maintaining international peace. It does not therefore exclude the hy- pothesis of war; it excludes it as the supreme right of the strongest as the supreme appeal to violence, as an event abandoned to the ca prices and vicissitudes of fortune it admits it, on the contrary, as ar affirmation of the moral power oi right for re-integrating the com munity of states broken by the disturbances of international peace and thus its function comes to cor respond to the penal function oi each state within its own borders"
 Italian diplomatic agents have been informed that it is the duty o' Italy to promote knowledge of tht league to the special department fol the League of Nations in the Italian foreign office.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-

fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nau-
sealess calomel tablet called Calotabs.

weakening effects of the old style

fact that an active liver may go a long
way towards preventing influenza and

One Calotab on the tongue at bed

HOUSEHOLD HINTS


Writing on a Train in Motion-One
can write smoothly and comfortably
on a train in motion no matter how
rough the roadbed may be by placing
cushion on the lap. Rest the tablet
and arm on the cushion and neither
jolt nor jar will disturb the writer.
The sofa cushion takes up the
tremor and the writing will be as
steady and as legible as if done at
home.
Prevents Patching-A good way for
busy mothers to save the work of
patching the mems overall knees when
they begin to get worn but haven't
broken into holes: Just cut the legs
off half way above the knees and turn
the right leg over and sew it onto the
left, just changing the legs; the under
part of each leg is then on top to take
the wear
Undertaking can be managed in
the same way and save a good deal
Of labor.
To Remove Grease Spots From Wall
Paper-Hold a piece of plotting paper
over the spot and press with a hot
iron.
