AN ABUSE OF
A GOOD LAW
County Division Is q Local Issue,
but People of Entire State Are
Asked to Vote on Two County
Division Measures.

Out In Eastern Colorado two ambi-
tious towns are making use Of the In
itiative and Referendum laws to create
from portions of Lincoln, Elbert and
Kit Carson Counties, two new coun-
ties. with themselves as prospective
county seats.
The originators of these bills, real
estate agents of the towns of Limon
and Flagler, obtained their petitions to
refer them to the people of the entire
state through the employment of pro-
fessional circ,lators at 10 cents per
name. secured mostly in Denver and
Pueblo. Owing to the fact that the
sparsely populated counties affected
have neither the organization nor the
means to educate the voters of the
state on the merits or demerits of
these proposed measures prior to cleo
ti0n, it will mean that probably 90 per
cent Of the people called upon to vote
ON them must do SO with no knowledge
whatever Of the issues involved.
There is no argument In favor Of the
bills. The three counties called upon
to give up practically so per cent Of
their assessed valuation for the bene-
fit of Flagler and Limon and their en-
terprising real estate spectators are
barely able to suppor. their present
county governments, and the passage
of these acts means bankruptcy to
some of them.
1t is fragrant misuse of the Initi-
ative and Referendum. The sentiment
Of the people In the affected territory
is almost unanimous against the divi-
sion of their counties, but their vote
will have small weight IN the vote of
the entire state. The measures are
submitted on the gambling chance that
the voters of the state, having no in
terest in the matter, will vote "Yes"
rather than NO"
If you believe it unfair and danger
Gus to your own welfare for the voters
of the entire state to decide a measure
affecting only a local community, then
go to the polls in November and vote
mo" on the measures to create Limon
and Flagler Counties. Amendments

LEGION ASKS ALL TO HELP

Resolved that we, the members of
the American Legion, Bruce-F -Frew
Post 81. request the support of the
votes of Gunnison county in favor of
the proposed law of the State of Col
orado. initiated by petition. This law
is No. 6. 1t is for the purpose of es-
tablishing a psychopathic hospital
and laboratory at the State Univer-
sity.
This is not to be an insane hos
pital. 1t will be for the study, treat
ment, and care of people suffering
from nervous exhaustion and mental
psychosis, who, if not given proper
treatment and care, will develop into
conditions that are miserable. 1t
will not require commitment, but will
be for the use of any person referred
by physician, person. or some organ
ization interested in health problems.
There will be an impatient and an
out-patient service. Eventually there
will be departments for the study of
social and economic factors relating
to the nisonitis, and for the study
and propagation of knowledge relat-
ing to mental hygiene.
This is a constructive, humanitar-
ian measure. Colorado needs such an
institution for the proper care and
treatment of her people suffering
from some nervous or mental trouble
that can be improved or cured
We. as an organization of ex-service
men. feel that this will be of great
benefit to many of our comrades who
have been thru the stress of training
and the hell of war. There are now
in the U. S. about 5000 ex-service
men. suffering from nervous ant
mental conditions, who are in various
charity institutions, mostly county
poor farms. These men, If not giver
proper treatment will become seriou,

Ames, lathe two weeks, Sept
20 to Oct. 2 will be seed corn weeks
in Iowa. This period is designated
by Governor w. l.. Harding, in a
proclamation issued, as a time for
all farmers to select their seed corn
for the ensuing year.
Scarcity of good seed corn last
year and in other years has made adj
yisable a definite campaign to Sc
cure seed corn.
"Wages are high and hired help
hard to secure" reads the procla-
nation. 1T is therefore primarily es-
sential that everything possible be
done to increase the production of
corn per man power. One hundred
per cent seed corn will very greatly

poses. Iowa has not had severe
frost in September since 1917 and
it is only logical to believe that we
may receive frost during Septem-
Der this year. The fact that the tenn
perature has been ususually low this
summer adds to this belief.
"The average date for the first kill
ing frost is October 10. Seed Corn

"a bushel of seed corn can be
gathered and hung up in less than
an hour and if this is done before
Oct. 1, 1t will practically insure good
seed for next spring. The average
farmer will use about eight bushels
of seed corn and he should select
about twice this amount so that he
can make further selections and
tests during the winter"

tRY CATTLE CONGRESS.
VIII Be Held at Waterloo Sept. % to
October 3.

Waterloo Ia.-Plans for the 1920
Dairy Cattle Congress and Interna-
tional Belgian Horse Show are being
perfected rapidly. This great live
stock exposition is to be held on its
own home grounds in Waterloo,
September 27-0ctober 8.
The aim of the management has
been, ever since the first show eleven
years ago, to make the show bigger
and better in every way each year.
A constructive program has been
| carried out to the letter and the
show this year will be ample evil
oence that the work of the manage
ment has not been in vain.
Entries of cattle and Belgian
horses have already been received
from many states. Dairy cattle breed
ers have signified their intention of
showing this fall from states as far
east as New Jersey, as far North as
Canada, as far south at Texas and as
far west as Montana. Belgian hor-
ses will come from several states
and Canada.
In addition to the showing of dairy
cattle>and Belgian horses a number
Of other distinctive shows will be
held. The pure food show, the auto
mobile exhibit, and the industrial
show will all be the largest ever
held in connection with the Dairy
Cattle Congress. Manufacturers o.
dairy farm and barn equipment ant
of machinery from practically every
large manufacturing center of the
United States have contracted fol
exhibition space in the main hall OF
on the grounds.
Unusually attractive premium
lists have been offered to stock ex
hibitors. The entertainment program
to be offered in the HippodromC
twice daily is to be better than il
former years.
Other features of the show will
he the wonderful parades of pure
'1ed stock. the students Judging con
test, the COW testing demonstration
conducted by experts and the edu
cational demonstrations given by ex
perts from the Iowa State College
Ames, and the Home Demonstration
Agent of Black Hawk County.

just a DEMOCRATIC Trick.

J. Edward Kirby, a sensational
preacher of Des Moines, has "re-
signed" his position as pastor of a
church there and taken the stump
in favor Of the democratic ticket.
Kirby claims TO be a republican but
that claim is made only to help
bolster up his attacks on the repub-
lican party, says the Hampton
Chronicle.
1t is not necessary for any repub-
lican to support the democratic
ticket because he does not happen
to like some of the gang in control
of state affairs at Des Moines the
past few years. None of them are
up for election this year, and the re-
publican candidates now in the field
are classed among the cleanest and
best men in the state. Why is it
necessary for a republican to vote
against them in order to purify
the statehouse?
Kirby is democrat and is out
working for the democratic ticket,
that's all. 1t is a trick, that's all.
1t is a trick of all new. democratic
spellbinders to claim relationship to
republicanism. but Kirby and his
kind, who have been supporting
Wilson and lauding his policies to
the skies, will not be able to fool
many of the voters.

HUDSON CAR GOES
OVER HIGH CLIFF
Front Portion Was Completely
Wrecked But No One Was
Injured

Sunday afternoon about 4 O'Clock
several miles northeast of Castalia
We saw a heavily-built Hudson tour
ing car go down a steep incline,
amounting to almost a precipice.
The car was driven by a young man
who apparently had it under COM
plete control. Without the slightest
warning. however, the car plunged
over the cliff and dropped more than
a hundred feet, completely wreck
ing the front portion of it, followed
by a terrific explosion which literally
tore out the inside of the machine.
The driver, when approached after
the accident, sat at the steering
wheel, somewhat dazed of course
and after looking the machine over
he grinned a grin that gave evil
dence of his satisfaction at being
alive. 1t was a real thrill, alright,
hut the accident was most ''foTtu-
nate" in that no one suffered injury.
All this took place on the farm OF
Charles G. Tatro. southeast of Cas-,
Italia. 1t was done in the interest.oi
motion pictures and cost a handsome
sum of money. Y. G. Bollman direct
ed the accident, Lyle G. Tatro
known in the movies as "Buck'
Chamberlain, was the young man al
the wheel, and Dewey Tatro took
the picture with the big new movie
camera, property Of the Laugha
graph Film Manufacturing Company
of Castalia. 1t was a realistic auto
mobile accident which will be showr
in the second picture of this com
pany, now in the making.
Besides the editor, Miss Ada
Moen of Ossian and others from
Castalia witnessed the accident. -

The Price of a
Suit of Clothes

THE price of suit of clothes is governed by fundamen
tai factors which cannot be changed in day. month
year.
THERE basic why there be marked
auctions in the price of fall clothng
PIECE goods for fall lines purchased last January
and February and deliveries at prices then fixed
made prior to June 1.
LABOR agreements were made months ago-there is no
likelihood Of reduction in wages; rather the trend has
been upward. .'
THE government on June reported only 81 per cent
stand of cottonapacas scarce-there no promise
of cheaper things.
RENTS interest rates. and other overhead charges are
established beyond the control of the clothing industry
AND should there be Is per cent decline in the
price of woolens it would trim only S157 from suit of
clothes
IF labor should accept ten per cent reduction in wages
which is widely improbably it would mean saving of
only $1.70
THERE at this moment not logical argument upon
which to base hope for cheaper clothing this fall.
HOWEVER, we are doing everythng in our power to
knock down the H. c. of L. and suits and overcoats
will be priced at lower percentage of profit than
before
NEW Suits for fall are all ready for your inspection.
