COMMUNITY CLUB
NET At COLORADO

At the Colorado House last Satur-
day evening the Community Cluh
was royalty entertained.
The first thing was Of course eats
and these were fine. and the sirvice
all that could be asked.
OF course the object Of the meet
Ing was to discuss things of COM
munity advantage. The Fourth Of
July arrangements seemed so well in
hand that little was said about them.
The thing that interested most
was the report of Mr.. Amber Of pro-
bable road improvements, and this
part Of the report was received with
high approval.
However, this approval was con-
siderably dampened by the report
that In the interest Of economy, Mr..
Amber was to be pulled off his job.
and that Mr.. Edwards Of Ault would
have Mr. Amber's territory added to
his own.
The meeting could not see the ad-
vantage Of such action and a COM
mittee was appointed to go to Gree
ley and make a protest.
Mr.. Shelby Hare, w. B. Kelley and
the writer made the trip to Greeley
Monday, but were advised at the
outest that We might as we'll save our
reath, as action was irrevocable.
We we're promised that this meant
more work for the money expended
and that we should receive our full
share Of the benefits resulting from
the economy and that we would re-
ceive more miles of road efficiently
cared for than under the present
plan: that 1t meant the elimination
Of several hundred dollars per month
in supervision and that Mr.. Edwards
was a most efficient man and would
be able to care tor the entire dis
trict and do 1t better with less
money.
We will not say that we were sat
isfied with the arrangement. We do
not know personally Of Mr., Edwards
efficiency, but We do know some
thing Of the roads where he has
operated, and we know that he Ia
credited with being one Of the very
best road men In the county. The
only question In our mind Is whether
he is not being asked to spread him
self over too much territory.

"They cant just
say that I'm Sir Blizzard or Blizzard.
But they have to say they have never
known such a blizzard or something
like that.
'"They must praise me In the highest
terms possible. They must say things
like this or they feel they don't prop
erly do me justice"
"fm not SO sure that they feel that
way about you." said the Crystal Sis
ters They don't want to praise YOU
so much but they think you're SO bad
that they can't half describe you"
whether they think I'm bad or good
makes no difference to me-" said Sir
Blizzard" as long as l get them to
say that I am a regular blizzard all
right. That Is all care about.
1T amuses me the way they say ths
same things year after year. There IS
one young man who speaks Of the
weather as being the coolest he has
ever known. He does that every single
winter.
"And surely each winter isn't colde,
than the last one, but he says SO! Ha.
ha." and Sir Blizzard gave cold
laugh.
WELL" said the Crystal Sisters
we're glad you invited US to join the

THE WOMAN asCoLD"

It is quite necessary to differcntiate between "scolds." For there are men "scolds" as there are men "gossips' | just as scoldy and gossipy as their feminine friends to whom the same characterization will apply. So please do not thinks we are limiting our re- marks to women scolds. The story which suggests these simple thoughts is about a woman scold, however, and that Is the reason why the pronoun she" is used.
 Well, this woman scold in New Jer- sey was hailed before the court by her indignant neighbors who could stand it no longer, and was fined $500 and sentenced to serve six months in jail, the latter portion of her punish ment being suspended. It is reported that there is an old law in New Jer- sey which would have made it possl- ble to duck her on ducking stool which would not have been pleasant at this season ofthe year.
 She was shown, according to the re- port, to have continually berated her neighbors and to have circulated de- famatory stories about them. Of course, the idea of bringing woman to court for talking like this seems rather old fashioned. It isn't done, that's all. And the idea of ducking her is absurd, of course. Advanced civilization has done away with all that sort of thing. Women arc no longer common scolds." Rather, they have sharpe tongues or biting with or something of that sort. Many woman and man as well---will read this lit- tie story and smile at the customs of those old days when there were "com- mon scolds" and "ducking stools" and the like.
 But just moment! Isn't there q possibility that on occasions there has appeared upon the faces of our neigh bors the look of irritation which was characteristic of the common scold :? Have not words strangely resembling the denunciations of those common scolds come from their lips in just about the same harsh. petuant tones? And wait a minute more. It is not pos sible that the same look has come to our own face, the same tone to our own voice.
 That's all. We wonder! Were VIC to ask this question about ourselves Of the person living next door to us would he or she glance down and turn away embarrassed. either not wanting to hurt our feelings or else deeming it unwise to offend ut?

 One of the eKperimenlers with the power. Charles F, steinmetz has his death chronieled today. His name win be coupled with many inventions in years to come that seem as tech nicai and are as remote in our under standings to us as the telephone and telegraph were to the people of few years ago. We blush. ns elders. to admit it. but the understanding Of wireless telegraphy and tho radio. phone. are things that the young folks know well, and we ind ourselves hopelessly involved as we try to un- derstand them.
 Not long ago. within a year or 30. the press told Of the discovery of steinmctz that he could control and direct miniature bolts Of lightning that contained but a small fraction Of the power in q nature-bred bolt. but which accomplished wonders in split ting logs and performing such feats under the hand of the wizard. Frank lin. in generation that is but once removed from ours. discovered the spark from tho sky. His discovery was useless in the extreme, or ap- pearcd so at the time. Steinmetz has now directed lightning similar to that of the sky. He has not done any thing of great moment with his bolts. but who can say what use will be made of his knowledge in the com ing generation?
 Deformed in body the inventor was possessed of keen mind and stu dious disposition. The romance of his achievements appeal to most of us, though his thorough investigation of more technical details connected with electricity may be of the most interest to professionals in that sci ence.
 The world watches and admires the kind of man that Steinmetz was, it feels it's loss when he is called hence.

WINTER PLEASURES

The joys of the winter are not con- fined to out-of-doors sports, skating and coasting and the like in which youth especially revels. Attention has been called to the approaching musi- cal season--the season already so well begun. The pleasure to be derived from this source is great, and the peo- pie of this city are fortunate in hay ing so many of it's residents interested in providing entertainment and in- structon in this art
 And now the announcement of the Commonwealth Club of some of the coming lectures it will have for it's members and their guests indicates this other feature of the winter sea- son. For other organizations will provide able speakers to entertain and inform those who care enough about culture and knowledge to attend.
 The three lectures mentioned in the Commonwealth Clubs announcement certainly will be worth hearing, 10 say nothing Of the pleasure and benefit always to be derived from attendance at its meetings. And as with this club so with others. church organizations and groups not connected with the churches. They are worth while.

TIE LONGER LIFE

Probably there is no greater desire among men and women today than that which is shown in the esgerness for longer life, The words Of Dr. William R, Mayo, therefore. spoken the other day with the authority Of this most noted man, brings cheer to all who understand the reliance that may be placed upon what he says The hoy of today. In his assertion, has twelve more years coming to him than his grandfather did, and death could be delayed five years more if every man and woman would undergo a rigid examination when to years old and abide conseientiously by the rules laid down by the examiner"
 If there is any corrohoration need cd for the honest words Of this great physician 1t may be found in the lives of persons who have suffered from tu. hcrculosls. As long as such persons. practically cured, obey the rules laid down for them there is no return of themalady. As soon as they deviate from those rules. the disease is apt to return. This fact has been presented to New Britain people forcibly by pr. Russell Lyman in some Of his talks here. We arc all i'll in some particular. A person of forty would prolong his or her life undoubtedly were he or she to follow the rules laid down by some wise physician.
 The boy twelve years old does not not realize his debt to science. But his parents realize 1t for him, and if Is for them to impress upon him great benefit of which there may be no question. The boy will live longer. the man will live longer, all because devoted men and women have given their lives to the study of medical science. With those twelve years added, or those seventeen years, how much farther should the man and the boy of today go in achievement! How much more deeply should he study the chances to bring something fine into the world, and how much pro- gress should come to the world be- cause of the added span of life that has been given him.
 If this emphasizing of the situation inspires one man to add these five years to his life, and if he makes them productive years, and if this em- phasizing of Dr. Mayo's words impels boys of today to realize their greater advantages and to use them to them to the utmost, then the emphasizing of his fact will have been worth while.
