',S There may have been longer

marched behind a band and un-

breeze which made the day just

Professor Noble presided over
the exercises and Mr.. William
Breech, of the music department
lied the singing. The Rev. DR..

of freedom, told his hearers
that as school teachers of North

mighty influence in helping the

more dangerous weapon for

CITY COUNCIL
MEETS LAST NIGHT
City Dads Get Behind American
Legion Movement and School
OF Mines Proposition; w. j.
Harvey Resigns as Marshal.

The city council met Thursday
evening in the council chambers
with a good attendance, and sew
eral matters of public interest were
under discussion.
1t has been the custom of some
from various places to come to the
mountains and carry away the
trees by the truck load about this
time of the year, presumably for
Christmas trees. There is a move
on foot to put stop to it, and the
city will make an effort to protect
the forests, which. if the practice
is continued. will finally be minus
their beauty.
The question of the School of
Mines establishing branch school
at the Miami tunnel, which leads
into the Edgar mines, and which
Prof. James Underhill has been
foremost in promoting, was dis
cussed, and the aldermen we're in
favor of having it located here. 1t
would mean a great deal to Idaho
Springs, and would bring lots of
people here. This does not mean
that lust the School of Mines of
this state will send its students
here for the practical experience,
bu. they will be sent fro m the
schools from every state in the
p Union. The council realizes that
it will be big asset to the come
munity, and last night appointed
w. A. Roberts and Prof. James
UnderhiII, aldermen. with Presi-
dent Anderson of the School of
Mines, Senator>elect w. E. Rem
shaw. and Representative elect 9.
L. Jaynes to confer with Governor
Oliver Shoup on the subject. some
additional appropriations from the
state being necessary.
The resignation of Marshal w.
j. Harvey was presented and ac-
cepted. No applications for the
position were made at the meeting
and the appointment will be made
later.
The American Legion asked the
cooperation Of the city in estab-
fishing shooting gallery in con
nection with the Legion club rooms
giving the young men of the CON-
mnnity clean place of hi u e.
ment, and at the same time give
them instruction in skillful shoot
ing. The council was pleased
with the proposal, and heartily
sanctioned it, promising to get be-
hind the movement, giving 1t all
the assistance possible.
A special meeting will be called
for Friday, Dec. 10.

In order to make the use of the
binder worth while, the reduction In
labor and the saving due to getting
the work done at the proper time
must more than pay for the use of the
machine, the twine, and the labor OF
the horses.
The saving is greater when cutting
for silage, for several reasons. Ihe
binder saves the labor of at least two
men in cutting. Often the saving In
time due TO having the stalks IN
bundles instead of loose will enable
the operator further to reduce the
size Of the crew. If only small
amount of silage is to be put up,
binder would not be paying opera
ton unless there were large guam
tity of other corn to cut. The coop
eratiye use of both binder and cutter
is discussed and is recommended
where the only corn cut is that for
silage. Cooperative ownership and
use of the binder is said to be fire.
quently advantageous for small farm
ers. The use of the corn elevator in
connection with the binder is dis
cussed and both the advantages and
disadvantages pointed out.
Platform Harvester Cheaper.
The platform harvester, while a
cruder machine than the binder. Is
much less expensive to purchase, re-
quires only one horse instead of three
or four, and two men instead of
three. Its days work is about four
Or five acres. Generally, the eQuiva-
lent of the labor of one man is saved
every day the platform harvester is
used. The work is harder with the
platform harvester than with the
binder. But the platform harvester
can be used more profitably on small
farms than can binder and 1t can
stand idle greater part of the time
or wear out sooner than a binder and
still be profitable investment. In
cutting corn, for silage. the platform
harvester will not save as much labor
as a binder.
