DENVER, Colo, March 29.-Here
in Colorado is a condition and situa-
ton that is not so encouraging as in
other States that have been visited
on this journey. This State, com
monty known in the East to persons
who do not keep abreast OF develop
ments in the West as a mining State,
has gone through a long period Of
transition, in which 1t has become
primarily a livestock and agricul-
tural State.
Mining IS 4 subsidiary interest. and
the mining camps at the present moment
are virtually tagnant. Gold Is one OF
h few things produced from the earth
hat did not increase In price during
the war. In too many instances at this
time. IL Is not worth digging, because OF
the high cost of working the mines.
As stock raising and agricultural
State, Colorado suffered in common with
her mid western and western neighbors.
That she has not recovered as rapidly
as some Of the others seems to be due
In part to condition In her banking
community, which Is now in the way Of
being remedied. This is not TO say
there has not been a great recovery Of

was referred Senator Pomerene opposed
Il go vigorously that the Senate upheld
his charges that Mr.. Upton was not
qualified TO hold the position, either
through experience or training.
Today, as 3 result Of the opposition
Of Pomerene, as wen as other Republican
leaders, It was reported that President
Harding would withdraw the nomina-
ton.

Regular Habits No Special
Virtue With Termoite Tribe
Which Has Invaded Homes

Termites work or eat their way through
wood coming up where wood rests on the
ground or where holes In cement block
foundations permit them to come
through to the wood. Wood does not
stop the termites, but cement or brick
cannot be penetrated by them.
In a short time. Mr.. Dietz says, these
insects can do several hundred dollars
worth Of damage and make necessary
much repair work They eat the wood
full Of holes, leaving a mere shell. A case
reported at Swift City last year indicated
that q house had been so far demolished
that It practically had to be rebuilt.

Of sympathy.
