SOME PUPILS
There are some pupils in our town,
Who think they're greatly wise;
Who at their teachers laugh,
And scorn all not their size.
Yet think they are smart
So meager is their brain;
And any time they have to think,
1t always causes pain.
Have they enough in their small
heads,
To ever weigh them down?
IS that the reason why,
They always act the clown?
They're always up to some fool stunt,
And town toughs they would be;
they never have had brains enough,
The narrow path to see.

Cut Cost Of Living by Curing
Your Own Pork.

Today II costs twice as much to get
pork from the farm to the consumers 3
table asit did before the war. In 1913
the spresd between the price of hogs
nd ,be retail price of pork products per
roufd was IA cents. The spread is now
about 2s cents. At no time in the past
could the farmer make bigger saving
by curing his own meat than at the
present time. BY curing their own
meat farmers not only cut down their
meat bills but have variety of delicious
meat products throughout the year. Of
all classes, the farmer should have the
bsst and most abundant supply of meat.
Preparing the winters supply of meat
is not long or hard job. In half
day two or three men can easily butcher
blk or seven hogs, and an additional half
days time will be required to cut up
the hogs. render the lard, make the
sausage and take care of the meat.
With the parcel post and other con-
venient methods of transportation it is
possible for the farmer to make a
superior meat product and to build up
profitable from city to customer
trade. OF course, one of the important
things for the farmers of Colorado is
10 make and cure enough meat on the
farm for their own use. The larger
hs family the bigger is the saving on
he family budget, 80 it is more impor-
snt for meat to be cured on the farm
where there is large family. Meat
Fured on the farm is not an expensive
|ood compared with other necessities.
The State Agricultural College is ready
% give full information on the killing
Pnd curing of meat on the farm. H. H.

OASIS IN EGYPTIAN HISTORY
Records Show That Long Ago Fertile
Spots Were Used as Places
of Punishment.

The history of the oasis has been
interviewer with that of Egypt from
a most remote period. Evidence has
been found not only of the predynastic
occupation of Kharga, but it has beer
conclusively shown by Beadnell that
this reached back into Stone age
Apparently from a very early period
the Egyptian governments sought tc
rule these oasis dwellers and to col
lect tribute from them. Sometimes
under nominal subjection. they were
by no means loyal, and repeated re
bellions had to be put down.
The oases were made places Of ban
ishment for political offenders, ever
of royal blood, and following the
Christian era many noted men of the
Coptic church were banished to botl
Kharga and silva, so that a Coptit
community of many thousands ea
listed at Kharga, and the ruins of the
Christian metropolis vie in interest
with the temples Of the Egyptian del
ties. Kharga was, from a very remote
great caravan route between the
Upper Nile countries and Egypt, JUS
as silva was on the great caravan
route to West Africa when Herodotu:
wrote of the stations from Thebes tt
the Pillars of Hercules.

had with the owner of the beasts

while King Tut's body was still upon

twenty-seven-ye consOrt, Queen
Anksamen, dispatched an ambassador
to the king Of the Hittites. who was
then besieging the ancient city of

soon come into its own.
The rush to the cities for jobs
at big wages has been overdone.
There are now too many men for
the jobs. This means another
rush back to the land.

opportunities here in the west will
again start tide Of emigration
westward and we will soon witness
another era of great prosperity.
