Colorado Farm
Property Values

Compilations made by the state i'm.
migration department from the record
of the state tax commission show that
the assessed value of all segregated
farm property in the state In 1920
was s647,955,992 compared with $685..
429,l64 last year. The total assessed
valuation of property this year is ST..
590,267667 compared with S1.495,.
213.65s. The figures given above do
not include automobiles. carriages
and other vehicles, furniture and
some other items OF farm property,
which can not be accurately segre-
gated. II will be seen that the as.
sessed value of farm property for
1920 was approximately II per cent
of the assessed value of all property.
compared with about 40 per cent in
1913. If the items that cannot be in.
cluded in this calculation could be ac-
curately segregated 1t would be found
that the assessed value of all farm
property is about AZ per cent of the
total assessed valuation. The per-
centage has been increasing steadily
for several years keeping pace with
the states agricultural development.
The items included In the totals given
above are farm land. improvements
on farm land. livestock. poultry and
bees. equities in state land. improve
ments on public lands and agricul.
tural implements.
Figures compiled by the state i'm
migration department from the rec.
ords of the state tax commission
show that the people of Colorado paid
$35.ii per capita taxes for all munci-
pal. district. county and state pur.
poses in 1920. The total revenue
collected. according to these com.
piiations. was little more than s33..
100000. The largest single item of
expense is schools, approximately 30
per cent of all taxes collected being
used for school purposes. The high.

GROW HIGHLY FREED COTTON
Virgin Islands Produce Long-stapIe Variety That Is Almost Extinct
 in the United States.

Cotton raising has become one of the principal industries of the Virgin islands, Uncle Sam's newest territorial possession, according to Bulletin No. 1, Sea Island Cotton in St. Croix, of the Virgin Islands agricultural experiment station, just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 Sea-island cotton, the much-prized, long-staple variety which has been ren- dered almost extinct in continental United States by the boil weevil, is the basis of the Virgin Islands industry. The area devoted to it, while as yet small, produced an average yield of 1000 pounds of seed cotton to the acre in 1919 and 1920. One of the plats at the government experiment station produced at the rate of 4,45O pounds of seed cotton.

Just Like a Brother.

It was Mary's birthday. and her young man had teasingly told her that he was going to give her a rose for each year of her age. Fearfully Mary waited for his flowers to arrive. She wondered whether he really knew how old she was. But when a basket containing four dozen arrived she breathed sigh of relief.
 That night she thanked him for them. Just as she ended it her little brother came into the room. He went over to the flowers and was studying them fixedly when the young man asked: Do. you think your sisters flowers are pretty?"
 'Yes, sir, dO," little brother ans swered, but what made you send twenty too many?"

CATS CONFINED TO FRANCE"
Chicago Man Reports Success in Novel Plan for Keeping Pete From
 Straying Far AfieId.

Another western idea was adapted to city uses the other day when a South-Sider, who once rode the range on the Colorado plateaus, staked out his cats to keep them at home. The plan worked fine and now the feline animals get the air every day at the ends of tether ropes.
 The cat owner found that every time he opened the cellar door the pets made a break for the open, ire quently staying away for days and returning with blackened eyes and scratched hides. He thought of the tether plan, but the first trial was not a success, as the cats slipped the nooseS from their necks. He then evolved a semi-hobble plan and tied the heavy string to one of the cats hind legs, attaching the other end of the string to a stake driven in the back yard.
 This system proved effective and now every day three of the cats take their exercise around their tether stakes.-Chicago Journal.

Dried Vegetables.

The government bureau of chemis- try is trying to pOpularize the "dehy- drated" vegetables which are begin ming to be sold for soup mixtures. It is thought that these mixtures of vege- tables, which are absolutely water free, might be used to great advantage by housewives. They are quite as good for soups as fresh material and far cheaper One hotel to which sample packages were sent for trial reported that one pound of the stuff made 125 ''pOrtiOns." The only important ob- stacle to the introduction of these con centrated soup vegetables seems to lie in the difficulty of overcoming old prejudlces. s.-Philadelph Ledger.

 BUSINESS MAN KILLS YOUNG MERCHANT AT JULEsRURG IN JEALOUS RAGE
 OVER WIFE.
SHOOTS WRONG MAN
MURDER COMMITTED IN LAW OFFICE AS TWO MEET-sUR-
 RENDERS TO MARSHAL.
Cw.stern Newspaper Union News serrios.)

Julesburg, Colo, July 14.-Following accusations he had made that Ralph Rozell, prominent young clothing mer- chant here, had endeavored to induce l his wife to go with him to an alI- night party, J. J. Baker, prosperous young rancher residing near Jules burg, shot and killed ROzell here. The shooting occurred in the law office of Charles F. Rolfson and George T. Henry, where Baker found his victim consulting the lawyers on private business.
 The two law partners and E. J. Frederick, justice of the peace, were witnesses of the shooting, but were unable to check Baker before he had fired five shots from an automatic pistol.
 According to information gathered by o. S. Humberstone, sheriff of Sedg- wick county, Baker shot the wrong man when he picked Rozell as the one who had endeavOred to entice his wife away from home. The shooting, Sheriff Humberstone said, evidently grew out of an incident that occurred when a man and a woman drove up in an automobile in front of Bakers country home and sought to induce Mrs. Baker to join them.
 Believing he recognized Rozell as the man who made overtureS to his wife, Baker is said to have gone to ROzell's home and told Mrs. Rozell of the incident, threatening vengeance upon Rozell. Mrs. Rozell assured Ba- ker that he was mistaken, but when he drove into town, found Rozell in the law office and shot him to death.
 Sheriff Humberstone said that he had uncovered evidence that convinces him that ROzell was not the man in the automobile
 A coroner's jury summoned by Cor oner c. F. Ewing held that the shots 1 were fired by Baker with felonious in- | tent. District Attorney Roy T. John son, who conducted the examination of 1 witnesses at the inquest, said he would | file direct information in the District | Court charging Baker with murder in the first degree.
 After shooting Rozell, Baker walked out of the law office to the street and surrendered to Town Marshal w. P. Cunningham, whom he met coming to- ward the building.
 Rozell, who was 30 years old, had been engaged in the clothing business here for two years. He was the son of w. M Rozell, leading citizen of McCook, Neb. Baker is 34 years old and has four children.
