In these respects all true Purtans, in all ages and places of the world,
are alike. Every one Is dissatisfied with the past; every one has the cour-
age necessary to revolt; every one has a vision; every one has a discipline;
and every one desires his vision Of the better life to prevail.
How do they differ among themselves? They differ in respect to the
breadth and the details Of their vision. Their vision is determined by the
width Of their eyes and BY the lights Of their age. According to the laws
Of human development, some Of the lights 60 out from time to time, or
grow dim, and new lights appear, and the vision changes from age to age.
Whatdoes not change in the true Puritan is the passion for improve
ment. What does not change is the immortal urgent spirit that breaks
from the old forms, follows the new vision, seriously seeks the discipline
Of the higher life. When you find a man who IS quite satisfied with the
past and with the routine and old clothes Of his ancestors, who has not
courage for revolt and adventure, who cannot accept the discipline and
hardship Of a new life, and who does not really care whether the new Life
prevails, you may be sure that he is not a Puritan.

James Milne, in London Graphic-You know the saying that there
5 a book in each Of US, if only we would write it. Has it occurred to you
to ask the sort of this proyerbial book? Clearly what is meant is an auto
biography, ones own life story, for that is the material lying to all our
hands. The number and vogue Of such books are very notable today
and the broad explanation Of this is no doubt the growing curiosity of
everybody toward the problems Of life.

The strong showing of Hampshire
swine was rather a surprise to the
older established breeders of Durocs
and Polands. But paramount in the
swine division was the wonderful ar
ray of fat barrows shown. Number
ing nearly two hundred, they came
from half dozen Western states to
prove that the corn belt is gradually
moving westward, Hampshire breeders
led the way in numbers of hogs shown,
closely followed by Duroc and Poland
breeders, while a smaller number of
Berkshires brought the total entries TO
over 600, the largest swine show ever
held in Colorado or the Rocky Noun
tain West.
The sheep and dairy cattle shows
were strong in quality, though slightly
smaller in numbers than last year. The
poultry show, with over 1000 birds,
was the largest ever held in the West
Larger than ever before in the his-
tory of the show, the carlot offerings
in the yards drew to Denver promi-
nent cattlemen, buyers, feeders, pack
ers and others from all over the coun-
try. The trend of the demand in beef,
pork and mutton was easily seen, both
on the hoof and on the hooks. The
lessons to be learned from the show
ings of carloads of feeder and fat
stock were many and in most cases
they We're not shown in vain. The Wis
iting cattlemen came, they saw, and
now they have gone home to conquer
conditions as they find them and
change them to conform to the new
order of demand at the killing stations.
Quick maturity, small high-quality
cuts, fewer Gamers and more prime
offerings are a few points that were
brought out forcibly this year. Aged
