The Novelty Wears off.

When the prohibition admend-
ment was new and novelty many
people took pride in defying its
provisions on the ground that it
was an infringement upon their
liberties. There was something
exhiliarating in overriding the
law and getting away with it. 1t
gave them big feel"
But the law is becoming at old
story. The spirit of violation is
losing its charm. Then, too,
people are becoming convinced
that the element of danger too
pronounced for them to continue
openly in their defiance.
The bootleg fraternity and the
red nosed gentry are not so ready
to accept the law as an established
fact. One wants ungodly profits,
and the other yearns to satisfy the
cravings of a parched throat.
The bootlegger, of course, will
be with us for years to come. He
is a man without conscience or
honor, and nothing but the steel
walls of a Jail will deter him.
The tide of booze is no longer on
the flow. 1t is ebbing slowly but
surely toward prohibition in fact
as we'll as III name.

Try This on Your Piano.

A friend of mine who used to sell
talking machines by mail-order hit on a
simple method for finding out which
persons he might trust, writes Fred
Kelley in The Nations Business.
On receiving an answer to his adver-
tisements, he wrote to the inquirer ask,
ing for the name of his family physician,
as reference. If this name was forth
coming, my friend shipped the talking
machine without further ado. He
never even bothered to write to the
family physician. His reasoning was
this: People always pay the doctor last.
If man will give his doctors name as
reference in a mail-order transaction,
he surely doesn't owe the doctor any
money. And if he doesn't owe the
doctor he probably doesn t owe any body.
Hence, presumably, he is a fair risk
for a talking-machine or other goods
on credit.

Radical Changes in Service

Ihe Telluride Journal in its issue of
thursday. comments on the cprrent
rumors concerning changes in railroad
operation in this section and Seems IN
think there is some truth in them
ihese rumors have been flying about
here for some time, but az prac,;csr,
the same rumors have been started at
regular intervals for many years, little
attention was paid to them. However
employees of the road seem IN be
under the impression that some i'm.
portant changes are to be lined up in n
short time.
Among these changes, it is said will

leaving Telluride and Montrose to be
served by stubs from Vance Jet and
Ridgway, changing the Rio Grande
southern shops from Ridgway to
Montrose and placing the dispatcher $
once at Montrose. Other changes are
also talked of but SO far as we can
learn, nothing definite is known.
People are wondering if the trains
will run straight through to Denver as
they did when Rico was division
point, or if the stop-over will merely
be changed from Telluride to Montrose,
1t is twenty years this fall since
the through train between Rico ana
Ridgway was taken off, and all that
time the people between Telluride and
Durango have been compelled to stop
over night in one or the other of those
towns on their way to outside points
Up until that time, travellers left here
one morning and were in Denver the
next, and all are hoping that among
the changes that all night delay will be
eliminated. Rico Item.

Your Child's Health

whether your child goes to school or
Is IN the runabout age, you are con-
cerned about his health. Has a doctor
examined him since he was born? Is
his weigh normal? If he is nervous,
irritable and always on the jump. per-
maps he is not getting enough rest.
Has 1t ever occurred to you to keep a
record of the amount of food your
child eats? You know a great many
children today are actually starving
because they do not eat the kind of
food that supplies growing material.
You don't have to know all .about
calorles and that sort of thing to give
your child what he should have to eat.
Try eliminating tea and coffee. candy
and piecing between meals and give
him milk, cereal, stewed fruits, plenty
of green vegetables, eggs and little
meatl If he is finicky about his eating,
maybe he needs little dsciplining.
Make the food look as attractive as
possible. If you will go fifty-fifty on
this health proposition with your
youngster, he will, with little persua-
sion, come half way. Begin now to
play the health game with your child
and let HIM be 1T.

Profits In Farming are Dependen,
on Fertility.

The soil is the farmers bank. If he
adds fertility to it, he can draw from it
IN the form of crops, and the more he
addawithin reasonable limits the more
he can draw. or the larger will be his
crops. The most profitable farms are
those that have had their soil fertility
maintained. The biggest crop yields
in Colorado are invariably found upon
the best soil. 1t is not uncommon to
find failures and big yields side by side,
the former due to worn-out land and
the latter to enriched soil il-buid-
ing, renovating crops are composed
mostly of plants that should be con-
sumed by animals. To secure the
most profits from these crops they
must be fed on the farm They i'm
prove the land in the growing, they
give profit when fed and the manure
made by feeding them enriches the soil
so that larger crop yields are secured
Every farmer knows that to plow under
any kind of crop improves the soil. but
he does not know that the manure made
from it, if taken care of, has fertilz-
ing value equal to S5 per cent of that
crop. An advantage enjoyed by the
stock grower aside from the value
manure has, is the conversion of rough
age and waste into a concentrated fin
ished product. In the past, hay has
been very cheap and will be again, in
time.
In the raising of livestock certain
amount of pasturage is required. The
land is thus cleaned of weeds, rested,
and plant food made available, and
enriched by the droppings of the
animals. This means larger yields and
more profit. Profitable cropping year
after year can be secured only in con-
junction with livestock growing.
Straight grain production year after
year can result only in losses or a low
labor income. Extension Service,
Colorado Agricultural College.
