Tuesday who had come from the Rio

Ford car following the harvest season.
They first harvested in the Farmland
country and then in Oklahoma and
Kansas. They found the farmers
pretty well supplied here and went
on further north.
Two burglaries took place in Oga1-

was entered and some money taken
and an effort was made to rob the
bank. The would-be burglars did a
poor job but battered up the vault

but did not get into the vault. Not a
great amount of damage was done
and no money was taken.

FOUND PROSECUTORS CABIN

Colorado Springs, July 5-The find
ing of an old prospector's cabin, far
up IN the hills from Colorado Springs,
IS the subject of much speculation
among mining men here. The cabin,
apparently deserted for several years,
was deliberately furnished. Heavy
oak furniture, with bison and bear
skins We're scattered about the big
living room Deer heads and the
heads of mountain sheep decorated
the walls, and in one of the adjoining
rooms was found a deeaying canvas
sack half filed with gold dust.
the cabin was 6 miles from rail-
road or wagon road and the owner
ship is a matter of conjecture. No
trace was found of human beings in
the vicinity of the cabin and local
men are unable to determine how the
furniture and fittings of the cabin
were ever brought to the spot where
the cabin was located.
Local furniture men declare that
the fittings of the cabin are worth at
least $4,000
The cabin was discovered by two
Boy Scouts who were on a hiking ex-
petition over July 4th.

The most prosperous country in
Europe is Holland. Why? We find
that Nation has conso1ida ted schools,
and requires every one to attend
school, SO they have an educated popu-
lance. There is one thing that many
people overlook and that is that it
IS not the great education acquired
but the ability to think that is ac-
quired in the process of education.
So the benefits are more than merely
what we learn in books. If we have
acquired a deeipline of the mind and
learned to use it we have accom-
plished a great feat, for good If a
child goes through school and does
not learn to use his mind more than
just what he lays up of the text he
had better be employed in shove1ing
sand and cement or digging bitches
for he will never make success I'M
less he has \obtained this discipline
and development of his mental pow
ers. 1t can be readily seen that
children that come in contact with
the larger number of other children
has a better opportunity to develop
his mental resources. In fact he is
compelled to use his mind more in
his daily tasks or be left so far be-
mind. IN every way that he would soon
show that he is "a weakling and per
haps will never gain prominence in
his work or it will show he is not will
ing to pay the price of success or too
1ndolent mentally to succeed. A boy
or girl that has the metal will be in
v1gorated by the competition of large
numbers and will hit pace like a
thoroughbred and hold it to the end
of the race Is it worth while to give
the boys and girls a chance?
