The American army officer, chosen
by the Chaldeans to present their ap-

that "self determination" was to be

Of the worlds affairs. Those at Ver-

PuebIo-Type COTTAGES Are Cement

All the quaint charm of the old pu-
eblo style Of architecture is preserved
In concrete in a series of little cot
tages now under construction In Mon
rovia, Cal. The one-story buildings
are most remarkable for their complete
use of cement, woodwork being prac-
tically eliminated. Even the roofs are
concrete, and the doors are made Of
magnesite, according to an illustrated
article in the January Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The poured walls,
five inches thick, inclose a web of
waterproofing material, while the ce-
ment floors are stained in Spanish
leather effect, waXed and polished. The
little structures are wholly fireproof,
and easy cleaning is assured by the alb
sence Of holdings, casing and base
boards. Inclosed courts off the kitch-
en- and sleeping chambers, partly
rooted and partly screened, provide
outdoor protection and privacy.

What's In a Name?

At one time the people believed
that the descendants of Judas Is
CARROT were living in Corfu, although
those accused stoutly denied such an
cestry. In Brazil an effigy of Judas
is carried by the school boys to a
ship where sailors hang it from the
yard arm. In the Greek church at
Smyrna once year there is a cere-
mony at which person is paid a
great sum to impersonate Judas.
Such is the feeling Of the people that
he who accepts this odious part is
liable to retain the name through life.

HALF YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut
In Half BY Food And Grain
Making And Saving

Atlanta, Georgia.-(Special.)- "High
prices for cotton, such as we had a
year ago cannot reasonably be expect
ed for long time to come. European
countries that normally use half our
crop are SO thoroughly disorganized
and paralyzed in business way that
they will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many years to come" said H. G.
Hastings, President of the great
Southeastern Fair.
This situation which we cannot
control, calls for lower costs of max.
ing cotton as well as reduction in cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way to reduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on ones
own acres every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
"The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cows and acres of corn,
oats, wheat, forage and miscellane-
GUS crops from which to feed them.
Last, but not least, in importance, is
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source of
food in the world.
Most folks here in the South don't
take the home garden seriously and
/ thereby make a great mistake. There
are too many of the lick and a prom
lse' sort of gardens and mighty few
of the real sure enough kind.
we have been told repeatedly by
those who plan and prepare for a real
garden, plant it, tend it and keep il
replanted through the season, that il
| furnishes half the family living at nc
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
The garden is, or rather should be
the earliest planted. 1t brings food
the quickest. 1t starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
is ready to use. A little later, hall
or more needed for the table comes
out of the garden.
IF rightly tended and replanted il
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus above daily needs goes into
cans or is dried for winter use. Yes
the right kind OF garden is a life
saver, and we all need life-saver Of
this kind in 1921"

We believe that Dan Straight Is
getting as much for this section In
road work as we had any reason to
expect and probably more than We
would have got from any man that
could be elected. 1t Is not im9roba-
BILE that his attempts to do what he
is doing has made him enemies In
ether parts OF the county. He is do
Ing more for us than many would or
could do. Our sole criticism OF Mr.
Straight is that he went out OF his
way to oppose county division, and
we believe he did this In violation Of
his pledges made before election.
We are not getting the same results
for the money spent by us in taxes
that we should and that we could
get II We had cur Cwn county. Our
road problem Is simple one cOmpar-
ed to the balance OF the county.
This year the combined road and
bridge levy Is four mills and We pay
over fifty thousand dollars tc these
funds, but that will not be sufficient
and the balance Of the money ex-
pended will have to be in registered
warrants, and will amount to not
less than 100000: our share OF
which will be another $4,000 In
all we will pay in taxes and assume
debts fer expenses on roads this year
Of an amount aggregating close to,
perhaps in excess OF $4,000. There
will be expended for this side OF the
county right at 100000, according
to present indications. In other
words, We pay over $4,000 in excess
road taxes this year for the privilege
of belonging to Weld county. That
takes no account of the s50,0O0 that
goes to other county funds These
are facts that no one can deny, Nor
do we claim that they result from
any direct and tsudied attempt to
work an injustice on this section
1t is state of affairs that arises
from the nature of theetaoinnshrlu
from the fact that We have COM
partiyely simple road problem, and
that the other part OF the county has
one that is very difficult and expen-
sive A three mill levy will afford
Us very adequate road and bridge
fund-a good deal more than We
have ever had expended on our
roads and bridges; while double that
levy will be expended in Weld county
this year, The only way we can get
away from the excessinve charge is
to get our own county. In opposing
that lies our occasion for criticism
OF Mr.. Straight.

has butted into matters affecting the
other sections OF the county. An in

this section on, the matter OF county

out to direct the destiny Of other

interested.
We do not complain that the Cham

question; but We do object to the
