According to a gifted scribe who
devoted close attention to the hap
penings at the training camps of the
pugilists, the main point considered
in reference to the condition Of the
champion and the challenger was
whether or not the men were sweat
ing pretty. For to perspire becoming
ly is the handspring of muscular
perfection in hot weather.
Many people overlook the beau
ties Of sweating. The dainty actual
ly prefer not to sweat. They think
it is unrefined. Their idea is to avoid
any exertion and to keep their ply
steal temperature below the point
where saturation sets in.
But their notion is all wrong. The
correct notion is to sweat and be
happy. The man in the hammock is
about forty degrees hotter and
about 100 per cent unhappier than
is the man who is welding the hoe
or following the humble mule as the
double shovel pillow turns over the
clods in the cornfield.
Shade has a reputation for de-
lightfulness, but this is based main
ly on the fact that perspiring per-
sons feel so gratifyingly cool when
they first get into the shadow of the
foliage. But the pleasurable sensa-
ton traces back to the moist con-
dition of the body. The nonsweater
finds little relief in the shade. He
gets less chance at a breeze and is
subject to choky sensations. The
fisherman, sitting on the bank Of
the stream, has about as much COM
fort as if he were at home near the
kitchen stove. The woman on the
divan is miserably hot. The loafer,
everywhere, suffers severely from
the heat.
The moral of it all is to get up
sweat. If the idle would be happy,
the secret of bliss can be found in
work; play, or in anything that will
open the pores and make the per-
sp;ration flow. Therefore, the rule
for hot weather is to sweat pretty
and be happy. rnr-

The largest copper boulder in the

A platinum wire has been drawn

RESOURCES OF ALBANIA

Now that the Rapallo agreement be-
tween Italy and Jugo-Slavin has
cleared up the status Of the northern
part OF the eastern coast Of the Adri-
attic, Albania is the oniy country bOr-
dering on those historic waters about
whose boundaries there Is still some
doubt. As one Of the countries whose
confines will probably be fixed In the
near future Albania takes on an added
interest. The resources Of this portion
Of the Balkan peninsula are dealt with
In the following communication to the
National Geographic society from
Brig. Gen. George T. Scriven, U. s. A.,
who made a tour Of the country short
ly after the Austrians had been driven
out In 1918.
"The Albanians are probably neither

adopted by the meeting Of about
eighty In number that an assistan;
county agent for the dry land coun-
try be provided.
Pawnee county would pop up once
in while, but 1t kept down pretty
well, as 1t was understood that some
few present did not wish to have it
come up to distract attention from
the things the meeting was called
to discuss.
An organization along the lines
OF the Farm Bureau or some con
certed action Of all the section was
favored and the committee created
to look after road matters last year
was authorized to act to recommend
some organization.
In discussion OF the road prob
lens. Mr.. Straight said he still ad"
hered to the idea that all Of tho
money raised In community for
roads should be expended In the sec
tion that paid it.
He believed that he could do bet
ter than 70 percent in actual road
work, but others had advised him
that 1t could not exceed so percent.
However, he was aiming at 70 per
cent with high hopes of making II
more. He thought that 80 percent
for overhead was ample. We be-
lieve he is right
Those who have not had to sell
road warrants at a discount are sur
prised to learn that the road fund
was now overdrawn about $140, 900.
This in the face Of the widely her.
aided announcement last fall that
Weld County was able to cash every
warrant as presented on any and
all funds was quite surprise.
Some asked where 1t went to. and
all Of those present seemed to feel
certain that It was not chargeable
to work done in their section.
Those who read Mr.. Carnahan's 5
report published in The Enterprise
in January will be able to figure
that we did not get 60 per cent of
what we contributed last year In
the district that he had under his
Jurisdiction.
These meetings are good thing.
We need more OF them. II helps
to show where our money is being
used, and when We know, We can
either object or be satisfied to let
them continue without protest.
Mr.. Straight may have good
many things to learn about his job
but he will be hustling to learn all
Of the time.

PAWNEE BILL GETS
UNANIMOUS VOTE:

Oh boy! That's the way we feel.
Last Saturday the Pawnee county
bill passed the Colorado House of

Now the bill is In the Senate
There we confidently believe that

MEETING n. {.
WELD COUNTY

The meeting at keota last Thurs
day was attended by perhaps dOz-
ell from Raymer, and nearly hun
dred people must have been present
from different parts Of the eastern
section Of the county.
1t was disappointment not to
have County Agent Knapp or any
Of the bankers from Greeley. II was
explained that the roads were SO bad
they could not get there, and as the
meeting had been postponed week
for the roads to improve, 1t was
probably thought that 1t would not
wait until the roads improved, for in
that event we would probably have
to wait until next spring OF middle
summer
Again we cant help but remind
people that If we were summoned 10
court, or to serve on the jury, we
would have to get there roads or
no roads, even II we had to go by
"Shyann", and no matter what the
cost.
Mr., Straight was there, but he
came by train via Sterling.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Allen.
Since no bankers were there but
local bankers, 1t devolved on them
to talk on the matter of credits All
Of these naturally felt that they
would prefer to hear some one else
first, but Mr.. Quinn finally led of.
He said that his experience In
banking did not cover any situation
like the present, but that he ex-
pected that the banks generally
would be in approximately the same
condition as in former years, but
this would depend upon the attitude
and ability Of the larger banks. We
gather that In his opinion that ten
dency would be to be more conser-
yative than formerly, and to dis
courage borrowing for anything ex-
cept the absolute essentials.
