TOUGH ON MARY.

We forever quote the weary note
About Mary and her pet.
We shouldn't slam her lamb
When Mary's the one to get.
There blew q breeze that showed her
knees,
The truth it made me laugh,
She couldn't shame her lamb with
blame
For the dirt was ON her calf.
THE UNKNOWN.
WILL BE PUT TO THE TEST.
I read the item that Conductor
121, of the Washington-V Virginia
Railway, is flapper-proof. No
man is that. Notify 121 to
watch his step! Nearly any real
man will fall once!

THERE MUST BE A REASON

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found The Derby Oil Company's
advertisement entitled There Must
Be Reason" The company re-
pcrts increasing local sa}es of gaso-
line. The statement is made The
! Derby Oil Company has sold 100
per cent more gasoline this year
than 1t did in 1922.
Representatives of The Derby
OIL Company are urging upon auto
mobile owners the necessity of
changing lubricating oil in the
crank case every 4 or 500 miles.
Tests have been made showing
engines in which oil is changed
most frequently run the longest
without overhauling. A car in
which oil was changed every 400
miles ran 10000 miles without the
necessity of taking the engine
down. Another, car was drained
less frequently ran 2600 miles; but
a 6-cylinder car in which the oil
was drained every 1000 miles had
to be completely oyerhauled after
driving 5000 miles Many tests OF
this character have proven that
fabrication is, one of the most i'm
pcrtant things to the long life OF
the motor. Frequent change of oil
means minimizing repair bills.
Many car has to go to the shop
for ovelhauling simply because
proper fabrication was overlooked.
The Derby Oil Company calls att
tention of its friends. who are
thinking of installing oil burners
in their homes for heating pur
poses. of the desrability of putting
in storage tanks of sufficient size.
It is a mistake to put IN small
tanks, Fuel oil storage tanks for
the home should have a capacity
of at least from 600 to 1000 gallons.
Many people of experience put in
larger tanks.

1859 INCHES OF RAIN IN NINE
MONTHS

!, Prowers and Baca Counties and
all south east Colorado has enjoy
ed reasonably wet weather dur
ing the past nine months, in mark
ed contrast to the dry season of
last year. So far this year there
has been rainfall OF 1859 inches
as officially registered at the A. V.
Land Co. office. During the past
seven days we have had almost con-
tinous cloudy Weathess with rain
fall Of 1.s5 inches. Tuesday night
gave us a veritable downpour-a
good steady rain that sank it's
inches far into the ground. The
raingauge for this storm registered
alone 1873 inches. So much rain
this summer and fall means sure
and bountiful wheat crop. Fields
already planted are now up and
vigorously growing. AS soon as
the ground dries off many other
fields will be sowed. The prospects
for bumper crop OF wheat was
never brighter.
The wet weather has injured
broom corn and alfalfa to some ex-
tent and has hindered the farmers
in getting out their row crops. But
If it dries up soon, with few
weeks of drier weather, so farmers
can finish harvest, conditions will
be most favorable in the fields.
The prospect now Is for boom
in land prices next spring and a
renewal of immigration to Colo.
RADIO. With our cheap land and
favorable weather conditions Colo
RADIO will be Setting pretty with
the dawn of new year. Here's to

A LIVE TEDDY BEAR
-

AS one of the features of his Jun
gle Adventures" Martin Johnson
succeeded in capturing and photo
graphing one of the rarest animals
of all the South Sea isles. the
Queensland Teddy Bear.
Way up in the interior of Brit
ish North Borneo, on their quest
for Malay pirates and real head
hunters, the Johnsons and their
party of natives guides, ran across
the Teddy Bear, which resembles
with uncanny exactness our pOpu-
lar plaything. Attempts have been
made to take this rare animal to
America and Continental ZOOS with
out success. The Teddy Bear"
dies when few hours from his
jungle.
Actually, the Teddy Bear" re-
sembles a mechanical toy. 1t has
odd habits. For one thing. 1t will
not fight. If attacked. 1t rolls over
upon its back and cries for help.
This feature will be shown at
the Isis Saturday afternoon at the

IN CONNECTICUT TO ALL OPERATORS AND DRIVERS OF MOTOR TRUCKS

For the next month, during the period when the frost is coming out of the ground, trouble will be en- countered in operating heavily load ed trucks over some of the soft sur faced highways. The State Highway department does not desire to restrict the maximum loading of trucks per mitted by law, unless it is found that excessive damage is being done 70 the surfaces, in which case it will be necessary to restrict the maximum loads to 10000 pounds gross weight.
 All truck owners and operators are requested to use judgment, operating only the loads which are reasonable at this time of year, reducing the weight on any day when road condi- tions are unfavorable, and operating only on the days when minimum dam- age will be caused to the highways.
 If this cooperation is obtained, the State Highway department will not find it necessary to reduce the Diax- imum weight limit, and marked sav- ing in expense will follow. Cooper ation is requested to this end.

LABOR MUCH UPSET
British Party Is Worried Because Its Members Have Been Hobnobbing With Royalty at Dinner,

London, March i2 (By Associated Press), ,-The rank and file of the labor electorate is disgusted with and suspicious of the idea of laborite members of parliament hobnobbing with royalty at the recent Astor din- ier. judging from the large number Of letters addressed to the Herald. the labor party's official paper. Extracts from several of these communica- tions are published today.
 The writers want to know what 1t all means and suspect that the incl dent has political significance and will have far-reaching results, put ting the laborites in a false posi- tion." The fear is expressed that the dinner represented an attempt "of the ruling classes to silence discon- tent either by reconciling the leaders to the state or by dividing them"
 One critic says:
 continuous association with our opponents is likely to reduce campaign in the house of commons to the old sham fight between twee- dledum and tweedledee which we have done so much to expose
