AUTOMOBILE THIEVES

The Sterling sheriff notified Sher-
In Morse Monday that he wanted
Walter Evans, negro. living in the
northwest corner Of the county
The negro was home. and on his
bed was an American in an intoxi-
Gated condition This aroused the
sheriff's suspicious and he went on
search of the premises for a still
Going to the barn he found there a
1921 Victoria model Cadillac Eight
coupe with Nebraska license on 1t.
Morse aroused the sleeping man
and asked him about the license card
to which the inebriated individual
replied It was none CT the sheriff's
business. He was brought to Fort
Morgan in company with the negro
prisoner.
When he was searched cards were
found on him indicating that he had
been in Humbolt. Ia. He carried the
proper license card to the machine
but the original name had been eras-
"a and his cwn written thereon.
Eheriff Morse Immediately wired the
sheriff at Humbolt, Iowa, asking
about the man and the Cadillac au-
tomobile.
A reply came from Iowa stating
that the car belonged to the widow
of the late Frank Gotch, one time
heavy weight champion wrestler Of
the world. The message stated that
the machine was purchased April
list and stolen April 5th. The car
had been driven only from Iowa to
Colorado.
The prisoner declared that he knew
the machine had been stolen but that
he was driving about the country
searching for the owner OF 1t. as he
did not think much of people who
stole automobiles He also declared
that he had captured the machine
from another party in Sterling.
His partner, Thompson. who is In
Sterling. offered to get bond for the
prisoner, but Sheriff Morse telegraph
ed the Sterling sheriff to take
Thompson into custody in connec-
tion with the Cadillac automobile.

DAY DREAMS next
SUNDAY EVENING

Rev. Ingraham will show some
slides next Sunday evening. throw
ing on the screen some of his day
dreams for Raymer.
The editor has been privileged to
see some OF these slides and we think
they are very good and the dreams
are very nice The big question Is
whether they are feasible for this
community. We are not prepared
to say that they are.
However, 1t will do no harm to con-
slider them.
II the community can see the wis.,
dom OF such an idea and adjusting
themselves to ii, 1t would be the big
geSt step we could take at the pres
ent time.
However unless such a movement
could secure large part OF the COM
munity that would accept 1t and work
in harmony to accomplish the desired
results, II might be better delayed to
such time as such harmonious spirit
can be secured.
We have felt that in some respects
community spirit is moving toward
more harmony than formerly. and We
are optimistic in the belief that even
tually there can be such a growth
In that spirit, that the way will be
open for some such program as will
be outlined on the screen Sunday
evening
The idea is line, and would be just
as well adopted, II II should fail. our
idea OF the avenue to follow should
be thrown into the discard. and some
other channel selected.
It's the goal to be reached that
We should look at, not the hack we
ride In. in our humble opinion.

\. S. WINS DEBATE
LOOSE At TENNIS

Last Saturday the representative
Of the High School went to Grover
for the delayed tennis tournament
and to try conclusions in the debate.
In the Tennis tournament, our pu-
pills were on the short end OF the
score, loosing in both singles and
doubles and In both boys and girls
events. We won but one set in the
entire tournament. which was won
by the girls in the girls doubles.
However our teams will show up to
better advantage on our own courts,
and they showed they had the max
lngs OF a real team.
Growers singles man was good
player. but the rest were not above
average.
However, in the evening things
came our way. and In the debate our
team scored clear cut victory. Sc
curing the decision OF all three
judges.
From all accounts that we hear
the contest, while spirited and lack
Ing nothing In effort to win. was
on more friendly basis than some
former occasions
Grover took their defeat In the de-
bate like good sports, and we hope
the same was true of our defeated
tennis players.
The result of the days work leaves
us a few points in the lead for the
championship, and with anything
like an even break at the field meet,
we should annex the penant for the
years events.
In any event. the race will be
close enough TO make 1t an honor
for either school to win, no disgrace
for either to loose.

PERFUMES

Milady America paid $4,972, ,541, dur

which has led to confused specula-

us where they came from. The sunny

others perhaps were plucked by dark
Moorish hands In Algeria, and mayhap
an animal In the brooding hills Of
western China gave It's life to furnish
one constituent Of the perfume.
The vegetable kingdom Is necessarily
the most fertile source Of perfumes.
From Its flowers such as the rose and
jessamlne, and from its seeds, woods
and barks such as the spices and san

connoisseui would be able to select
either some simple odor or complex

SCHOOL ELECTION
next MONDAY

Don't forget that school election
comes next Monday. The schools
belong to the people. and are the most
important thing in this or any other
right sort OF community
Our schools demand the larger
share Of our taxes. not 30 large as
some would make you think: but they
do take about half OF the tax those
pay who live in the Raymer corpor-
alton; and nearly two thirds of the
tax paid by those In the school dis
trict outside Of the town
On the other hand we get the d.
rect benefits CT the school tax, some
OF the other benefits are very vision
ary and difficult to discover.
There will be matters of school pol
icy to consider for the ensuing year
which the people must determine for
themselves. The board are their
servants.
It will be diffiuclt to persuade the
people to increase taxes for the en-
suing year, even for very desirable
things but 1t does not appear ne
cessary that this should be done 1t
may be that some economies can be
suggested that can be applied with
out impairing the efficiency at all.
Some OF those who have always
been boosters OF the schools are not
directly interested. but we find these
men still willing to boost and do
their full share towards keeping the
schools up to their present high stan
dard Of efficiency.
School expenses for the year so far,
are close to $25, 900. with one month
OF school to close the school year,
Think over the matter OF pupil
drivers, and come prepared to give

The director to be chosen is to
succeed Mr. Rasmussen. II he were
to remain In Raymer. we think that
the people would BE unanimous in
saying that he must remain. As he Is
not going to stay here. It seems inn
perative that another shall be elce-
ed.
We hear various names suggested,
and all mentioned In our hearing
would give the district intelligent
and earnest service
We are certain that Raymer peo-
pie will be on hand and. do the right
thing
1t is hoped that Dr. Lory Ct the
State Agricultural College can be
here to speak to the people DR..
Lory is the prince Of Colorado school
men. We fear that he will not be
able to get here, but II he does your
loss will be great II you fail to hear
him.
The different rooms will also have
their work on display for all who

ed In this age by the coming Of the
birds, the stirring Of small animals
and the emergence from Information
and water lethargy Of the few large
animals that civilization has left us,
was vastly different matter a few
cons ago when America produced an,
imals larger than any now living here
An idea Of what these creatures were
like Is given In the following c0mmu.
nicati0n to the National Geographic
society from Barnum Brown:
THAT was so long ago that nothing
remains OF these creatures except
their bones. and they are turned to
stone. Hidden away under strata Of
earth, their spoor has long since grown
cold.
"The animals are dinosaurs; for the
moment we will call them lizards
not the creeping, crawling kind, but
huge reptiles that stalked upright
through the jungles, rivaling In size
the elephant, the hippopotamus and
the rhinoceros.
I'm the marshes Of prehistoric times

some small. and Of various forms,
flesh eaters and herb eaters, but all
sharing certain characters In common
and known as dinosaurs. Not any
were closely related to any living rep
tile, yet they had some characters
common to the lizards, crocodiles and
birds.
"Of the kinds characteristic of the
period one species. an herb eater
named Trachodon, was more than 30
feet long and about Is feet high when
standing erect. Its head, with broad
ly-expanded mouth, resembles that Of
a duck, but back Of the beak there
are more than two thousand small
teeth, disposed In many vertical rows,
each containing several Individual
teeth, the new ones coming up from
below as the old ones wore out.
'The long hind feet terminated In
three large-hoofed toes, and the short
er, slender front feet were partly
webbed. A long, thin, slender tail act
ed as powerful swimming organ. and
the body was covered with rough tu-
berculate skin. Having no means Of
defense, 1t lived chiefly In the water,
where It was free from attacks Of the
flesh eaters.
"Strangest Of all was the herblvor-
GUS Ankylosaurus a stocky, short.
legged, big.bodied creature, completely
encased In arm0r. Dermal plates COW
cred the skull, followed by rings Of
plates over the neck and rows Of fiat
plates over the back and hips. Its
tail terminated In huge club, and
the belly was covered by pllable

plate that could be dropped down like

rich old lace grew best In France and
England.
The rose geranium, which has such
an exquisite odor Is also grown and
distilled In France, but Spain, Algiers,
and the Island Of Reunion engage In
the industry. Unlike the lavender,
however, the perfume Of the rose ger.
anium comes from Its leaves and not
from the flowers.
But the country that might well be
known BY Its scent is Bulgaria, for Its
rose crop is second only to Its tobacco.
Over 1850 acres Of land in the prov.

Stara Zagora, the best of the flowers

About four thousand pounds Of roses
are produced on an acre Of land, but
1t takes about two hundred pounds
Of petals to produce an ounce Of oil,
for an altar which before the war cost
about $3.50 a pound.
Roses are grown In other parts of
the Balkans, as well as In Aslatic Tur.

Industry lately has been introduced

usually In the grain form, are annual

THE WINNING OF THE CA.

Discovery Of oil In northwest Can.

creased the importance Of the western
Canadian provinces near the United
States border, which will be the door

The prairie provinces Of Canada-
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
were not without their bids to fame
before this discovery. For example:
The last Of the wild buffalo herds
Of America, survivors Of the millions
Of animals which roamed the plains
and woodlands Of the continent, now
ranges through northwestern Alberta.
This province alone Is estimated to
contain Is per cent Of the worlds

most part bound for the northern

In addition to differences In the Off.

the festivities and celebrations that
accompany these events. In some
cases the accompanying observances'
have become practically part Of the
official procedure. The newly Installed
French president almost invariably
drives to the Hotel de ville the Paris

Of the president and members Of the

ICELAND: LACKS ICE AND
RAILROADS

Carrying Ice to Iceland will appear
to most persons about as reasonable
as carrying wheat to the Dakotas, cot
ton to Texas or beans to Boston. But
according to press dispatches the Ice.
landers made an appeal during the
past winter to Norway. the nearest
European country. to ship them Ice In
order that they might save their her,
ring harvest from being spoiled by the
mild weather.

Land Of Fire." The surface of no
other country, perhaps, Is SO deeply
marked by the whitening blasts that
well up from time to time; and In no
country Of equal area are to be found
SO many volcanic peaks and vents.
Nearly 5000 square miles Of the 4O,-
600 Of the country's area are covered
by lava flows.
Iceland is approximately the size Of
Ohio and about 5000 square miles
larger than Ireland. It Is only short
distance of the Europeward coast Of
Greenland, and its northernmost cape
just touches the Arctic circle. From
there the midnight sun can be seen.

Gulf stream, has relatively niild win.

ka, but has January temperature
mIlder than that Of Munich, Germany,
or Milan, Italy.
Icelandlc summers, however, are
cool, due to the large fields Of ice
that float down from the NORTH. Grain
cannot be grown satisfactorily, and all
breadstuffs must be imported.
Though Icelanders faced by implac.
able natural forces and conditions,
have been unable to achieve any great
degree of physical development on
their lava-covered short-summered 10.
land, they have made notable advances
In less material fields. A truly rel
markable literary development sprand
up In this far northern island In the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries, al
full hundred years before the Renais1
sance began to make itself felt in
sunny Italy.

have shown themselves to be In ad.

their social and political ideas. Won.

land earlier probably than In any 9TH
er civilized country. At the present
time part Of the Althing, the Icelandic
parliament, Is elected by proportional
representation. Votes for women Is
not the only mark which feminism
has placed on the life of Iceland. The
custom Of women retaining their own
names when they marry Is more gen.
eral in Iceland, perhaps, than In any
other modern country.
The political status Of Iceland Is In
some ways peculiar In effect It might
be said to be an autonomous. state In
