Besides Bohemia, the czechs occupy

Besides Bohemia, the Czechs occupy
Moravia and adjacent territory In
Silesia, both formerly parts Of Aus
tria-Hungary. The Slovaks, who
show merely dlalectic differences from
the Czechs, extend from Moravia
eastward over most Of what was for.

The Czech is kind and with stock
OF native hum0r. He Is musical, loves
songs. poetry, art, nature, fellowship,

undue restraint. He may be opinion,

alarmed by the prosperity of the Poles
than by what, today, might be called
the mobiles propaganda. So she set
about Germanizing Posen, both by col.

she attempted to do to the French In
Alsace.
Prussia's first move was to make
German the language Of the schools.
Police were ordered to disperse meet
ings where Polish was spoken.
After 10 years that program failed

set up, in 1884. to buy land from
the Poles for German settlement. Be

been bought for German coionists.

Colorado announces that the COM
peting teams will be the winners
from the following sections of the
state; Cripple Creek and Grand Val
ley District, Northeastern Colorado

road fare and all expenses are guar
anteed to the teams by the Boosters
Club, with the further proposition
that the remaining twenty-five per-
cent of the railroad fare will be re-

ment for three consecutive years.
