ON INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

According TO estimates given out by
the American Federation NJ Labor AT
that time there were between 5000. 900
and 5000, zoe wage-earners out OF en-
ployment when the Republican ad.
ministration came into power March
=, 1921. This industrial. depression
began early in the summer of 1920.
The immediate problem before the Re
publican party was the return to nor
NAL conditions.
The underlying cause of Industrial
depression was the prostration of agri.
culture brought about by the radical
curtailment OF agricultural credits by
the Democratic administration. The

men into the streets. The Republican
Congress Immediately restored agri-
culture TO 4 healthy condition The
farmer entered tho market again as a
buyer OF manufactured goods The
ranks of the unemployed began to
decrease.
AT tue time tnS coal ana rhllrOao
strikes were called there was a great.
er demand for laborinS men than there
vas a supply.
One OF the most important contribut.
Ing factors to the improvement of the
unemployment situation was the early
enactment by the special session of
the Republican Congress of the re-
strictive immigration law. This was
demanded by the laborinG people Of
the United States. Its enactment pre-.
vented the incoming OF hundreds OF
thousands OF immigrants who would
only have increased the ranks OF the
unemployed and added to the indus
trial distress. The previous Republi.
can Congress had passed a similar law
but It was vetoed by President Wilson.
The Republican administration came
into power finding the burden OF taxes
very heavy. The working man had to

A large number of Americans have
been given seats for the sessions of
the assembly of the league of nations
at Geneva. They have more seats
than have been assigned to any other
nationality and are being treated with
distinguished consideration. The list
of Americans provided with seats al

the forward looking movements of
American aspiration and altruism.
The American custom of associat-

There are represented the Committee
for Intellectual Cooperation, the Fo-
reign Policy association, the Woodrow
Wilson Democracy, the World Peace
Foundation, the American Peace So

COLORADO FARM LANDS
Homestead Lands Gone But AgricuI-
tural Acreage Increasing.


Although there is now comparative
ly little good farm land remaining open
TO enter In Colorado, the area that has
been homesteaded in the past six years
is close to 100000 acres. OF this
amount perhaps 3,5OO.OOO acres has
not yet been proved up and is there
fore not yet on the tax rolls.
Reports OF county assessors to the
State Immigration Department show
that there are now approximately 5000
homesteaders in the state, living more
or less permanently on farms that they
have not yet proved up. In addition
to this there are perhaps as many
homesteaders who do not live perman-
emily on their claims, but who remain
there only about seven months of the
year, which is the length of time re-
quired for residence each year while
tn claimant is proving up. A great

ice men who served in the World War,
and who, because of their military
service, are required to remain on
their claims much shorter period of
time than other homesteaders. some of
them being able to prove up after
seven months Of residence. A large
amount of the land entered in the mast
six years has been taken under the
grazing homestead act, which permits
the entryman to take as much as $40
acres.
Homesteads not yet proved up are
reported in as of the 63 counties in the
state, though many counties east of
the mountains report fewer than ten
homesteads each. Moffat county re-
ports the largest number-s15-and
and many counties on the western
slope report more than 100 homesteads
each. Las Animas county reports
more homesteads than any other coun-
ty east of the mountains, more than
100000 acres of homestead land hav-
ing been entered in this county in the
past six years. Within the next three
years, according to present indications.
close to 100000 acres of homestead
land should be placed on the tax rolls.
being land that has already been en-
tered and that is now in process of
being proved up. Close to 4.OOO. 900
acres of homestead land has been plac-
ed on the tax rolls in the past three
years.
At the present time there are per
haps not dozen unappropriated home
Gtead claims east of the mountains in
this state. Some fairly good grazing
homestead land remains open to en-
try in most Of the mountain counties.
and a small amount of farm land on
the western slope is unappropriated.
The remaining homestead land, how
ever, generally lies far from railroads
and is of little economic value at pres
ent because of the large expense of
marketing such crops and livestock as
ii might produce.

UngOvernable Temper

you had to fly into a rage. Sup
pose instead OF thinking that
you have a terrible temper, you
really believed yourself an anna

pose you believed this Just az
hard as you now believe that you
have warning disposition.
Don't you imagine that your own
belief could control you?
Get up some day saying:
I'm amiable. Passion can't con-
troll me, for l control it."
Declare over and over that you
are a pleasant-tempered person.
Don't pay your bad temper the
compliment of recognizing II. Just
insist that you are kindly and that
you feel friendly toward every ore
and that no one can upset you and
you don't purpose to upset your

But don't stop playing it all day

The way to control a bad tenn
