LIVING UP TO HIS OBITUARY

knew in his later years a ship
captain who began his career by run
ming away from home and going to
sea. His ship was wrecked, and most
OF the crew were lost. He was picked
up by sailing vessel and went
round the Horn. It was more than
a year before he saw his home In
New England.
His shipmates had reported him
as dead. and they told the best story
they could about his courage and his
character. A memorial service was
held in the local church. and tbs min
lister said all the comforting things
his conscience would permit. The
local paper printed the sermon al
most In full.
The mother of the supposed lost
boy clipped all the good things that
were said about her son and posted
them into her scrapbook. Mothers
have a habit CT doing that.
One day this man turned up. The
memories of his shipwreck had
grown very dim with him. II at the
time they had touched him with So
lemnity. that feeling was gone. He
had come back in anticipation OF n
high old time.
But he read his mothers scrapbook.
and thought the natter ever. He de-
termined to be as good man living
us people believed him dead And
he did H.
There are many people whose fu-
neral sermon should like to preach
Il good many years earlier than ac.
tually preach H. That Is TO say. !
should like the privilege OF telling
them while they live how people
would like to think OF them after they
are dead. and then give them a
chance TO live up TO their obituary.
That is ono unfortunate thing about
obituaries. they usually come too late
to induce their subjects TO live up 10
them.
There are men who read this ar.
ticle who some day are going TO put
some minister IN very tight place.
He will wish 10 say good things. Ev-
cry impulse OF fair play toward a man
who cannot answer back and OF con
sidcration for his family and friends
tends to prejudice him In favor OF
thu memory OF the dead man.
Let me request my readers not TO
make II too hard for the preacher
Try now 10 live up TO your obituary

24,732, 900 Bushels Of
Wheat Is Prediction

The condition figures Of nearly all
crops equal to or above the average,
large increases in the acreage OF
spring wheat and oats, all fruit crops
greatly above the average and uni
Iormly encouraging moisture content
Of the soil are the main points in the
June Colorado crop report.
The combined winter and spring
wheat crop of the state indicated
possible production June OF 24,732,-
GOO bushels, or nearly one and one
half million bushels more than the
crop of 1921. The estimate is based
on a condition OF S0Nper cent of nor
NAL for winter wheat, as compared
with 50 per cent last year, and Sc
per cent for the ten-year average on
June l, which means an average
yield OF about is bushels per acre, as
compared with ~ bushel average
last year. The spring wheat produc-
tion is based on condition OF 92,
which is the same for both last year
land the ten-year average, and indi-
Gates a production of about is bush
|els per acre. According to the re-
port, the spring wheat acreage for
grain will amount to more than 410,-
600 acres. or an increase or over 10
per cent over last year. Complete
returns from county assessors for
all counties will probably show a
still greater increase. The same
sources of information also indicate
an increase in the acreage of winter
wheat over the preliminary figure,
which was 1,1773,000 acres left for
harvest fer grain, as compared with
1,246,000 acres harvested last year.
An area of 22S,000 arces has been
seeded to oats for grain, or an in
crease of 5 per cent over last year
Based ON this area and the condi-
tion of 93 per cent of the production
under favorable conditions will
amount to 7,752,0O0 bushels or about
a. million bushels more than last
year. In this state the area Of oats
harvested for grain constitutes only
about rs per cent of the total acre
age planted to this crop. The bar
ley. acreage is 100000 acres, or prac-
tically the same as was harvested
for grain last year. Based on con-
dition Of so per cent, which indicates
about 27.5 bushels per acre, the pro-
duction would amount to 5,575,000
bushels.
Rye prospects have improved Z
points during the month Of May, and
reached June I with a condition Of
80 per cent, which indicates crop
of 1.11S,000 bushels, or about $4,000
bushels more than last year. Com
plete figures may increase the acre
age for grain another 10000 or 30.-
900 acres. In this state only about
IS per cent of the area seeded to rye
is cut for grain.

Traffic Problems

transportation by automobile and
truck has grown SO rapidly-trafic
is such different problem from the
days of horsedrawn vehicles and BIZ
cycles-that it is both fitting and
proper that something should be done
to call the public's attention to the
present day traffic problem in force
full manner.
The time has come" says Don
Hogan, Denver distributor, when
the automobile distributors must all
realize that their business is not only
to sell transportation, but to include
in their sales and advertising work
an educational feature that will as
sist the ultimate buyer to a better
understanding of transportation and
traffic problems.
we can't just heedlessly sell cars
and trucks. We must show the peo-
pie how to use them properly. First.
the thing that will make driving and
vehicle operation safe is to build n
safety into the car. This is the man.
ufacturer's first big job
Cars must be easy to handle, they
must have good brakes, they must be
able to jump out OF the way of dan
ger by fast acceleration. and they
must be made Of such dependable ma
terial that they Will not. crumble up
in crash"

DON'T PUT NEW TIRE
ON THE SPARE RACK

1t is mistake to carry new tires
as spares. The epidemic OF tire steal
ing that prevails throughout the coun-
try has demonstrated the nvidity OF
tire thieves for tires that have never
been used and can be disposed OF as

much higher price than one that

Tire company. is to use a new tire
