SOMETHING NEW

A pinto bean-loaf party" proba-
bly, the first ever held in Colorado, will
be staged in Briggsdale next Thurs
day evening, April "a, with the pinto
bean growers of the district acting
as hosts and Joseph Passonneau, state
director of markets, playing the part
of chef.
'The purpose of the party will be
to introduce pinto bean-loaf to Colo
RADIO housewives" said Mr.. Passon-
neau. "Pinto bean-loaf is one of the
fastest ways in which southerners
prepare the cheap, wholesome and
palatable pinto bean. If the people
of the northern states knew how
good it is, the bean growers of Colo
rado wouldn't be able to grow enough
beans to meet the demand"
One Of the objects of the Colorado
Bean Growers association, now being
formed, will be to introduce and
spread the fame of the pinto bean
into sections of the United States
which do not know its distinc tive fla
vor, explained Mr.. Passonneau. "One-
tenth of a cent pound spent in ad-
vertising should net the farmer one
cent pound more for his beans"
The association, however, will not
be organized until Is per cent of all
the bean acreage Of the state is in
the pool. Organization work is now
being carried on in every section OF
the bean-growing territory of the
state, and the pool is expected to
operate this fall.
Pinto bean-loaf parties will be held
in other sections of the state follow
ing the Briggsdale party, according
to Mr.. Passonneau.

woNDERLAND-wANDERLAND
BY A. w. LUCE

Some states are blessed with fer
tile soil or rich mines, coal deposits,
water potentials, curative climate or
health-impregnated mineral waters.
Colorado, the Promised Land of a
million delights, has more than the
above sextette. Ponc de Leon did
not come far enough west. Colorado
not only is estimated to have thou
sand different curative springs but
many have distinctive qualities des-
tined to annually attract multitudes
in search of rest, relaxation or health.
Experts, such as Solly, assert that
Manitou's dozen springs equal the
waters of Ems and are superior to
Mannheim and Spa" The largest
group of Colorado's medicinal springs
is at Steamboat Springs, while Glen
wood Springs, set like a glittering
jewel in the crown of the Rockies,
has the largest mineral swimming
pools in Colorado. Its warm, cura-
tive waters make out-of-door swim
ming pleasant even in winter, when
the ground surrounding the pool may
be covered with snw. Coloradoans
are beginning to appreciate and tell
the world of our curative waters.
These constitute one of the greatest
medical discoveries of our age. The
Waunita Hot Springs of Colorado are
being recognized amont the strongest
| radioactive springs in the world.
Radium stimulates the activity of
the corpuscles of the blood, bringing
rest to nervous systems. Dyspepsia,
ulcers of the stomach, indigestion,
rheumatism, gout, gall stones, kidney
trouble, Bright's disease, impurities
of the blood, skin diseases, anemia,
arterio-sclerosis, neuritis, catarrah,
sciatica paralysis, dropsy and lead
and mecurial poisons are among some
of the human ills cured by Colorado's
springs when promptly treated.
Their greatest benefit is derived as
the springs flow fresh from the
ground. Mud baths, from the soils
impregnated with minerals around
Colorado's springs, bring relief to
many ailments. Space forbids men,
tion of all Colorado's springs. Buena
Vista, Idaho Springs, Hot Sulphur
Springs, Pagosa Springs, Ouray
Springs, Poncha Springs, Strontia
Springs, Trimble Springs, Wagon Gap
Springs, Canon City, Golden and Pu-
eblo lithia and magnetic, and Eldora-
do Springs each have distinctive GU
rative qualities never yet adequately
described Best of all, Colorado's
curative springs are all easily acces-
sible and often frequented by those
who would escape the harassing cares
of business, knowing they may thus
prolong life.

FARMER PUTMAN's PHILOSOPHY

Pueblo has got somethin' to blow
about now besides the steel works.
Dick Jay is manager of the State
fair! That means that the people of
Pueblo will find out about the fair,
what it's for and why they ought 10
patronize it. Dick has got the brains
to make it educational fair. He
don't hide his brains under fur COW
er neither. He carries 'em out in
plain sight where his customers, (the
people of Colorado, kin see 'em and
note their size and circumference.
Besides brains, Dick has got a we'll
trained, useful smile that's allus on
duty, no matter what the weather,
or business conditions, or the health
of hisself or his family. With them
assets, namely, brains, smiles, a good
handshake and memory fur names
and faces, why Dick ought to make
good fair manager en6 all of US,
that is Denver, Pueblo, Colorado
Springs and intervenin' points as we'll
as the east slope and the west slope,
ought to git behind the fair and push.
l was askin' Dick about the dates
and he sez: Farmer. you kin an
nounce to our many rnutua, friends
that the fair will be held as usual
the last week in September this bein'
the time when the trout fishin' is
gittin' poor because the water is too
low and it is still too early fur the
deer season. It's the best time fur
gittin' all them College specialists
that has to help judge the fair. You
kin announce, too, that no passes will
be given out this year exceptin' to
people that come to the fair to work.
Specialists will be assigned to all de-
partments, the he-specialists to carry
water fur the pedigreed cattle, watch
the fruit exhibits to keep the non

A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, it is essential to the con-
tinued comfort, welfare. and prosper
ity of the people of the United States
that abundant forests, widely dis
tributed and maintained in a condi-
tion of high produc tiveness, be for
ever wisely conserved as one of our
greatest natural resources; and
Whereas, because of our constantly
increasing need for wood and other
forest products, together with our
past failure to provide for refores-
tation, we are drawing upon our sup
plies of timber four times as fast as
they are renewed through growth;
and
Whereas, the most formidable
agency of forest destruction and pre-
vention of reforestation is fire and,
of the fires which annually devastate
vast areas, four-fifths are ascribed
in origin to human agencies and vir-
tually all may be controlled and made
innocuous through prudence, care,
and vigilance;
Therefore, l, Calvin Coolidge, Presi-
dent of the United States, do urge
upon the Governors of the various
States to designate and set apart the
week of April 21-27, 1924, as Forest
Week, and, wherever practicable and
not in conflict with State law or ac-
cepted customs, to celebrate Arbor
Day within that week. 1 also urge all
citizens, either in association or as
individuals, all schools, and the press
of the land to give common thought
to the protection of our forests from
fire. to the end that, in the future as
in the past, these forests may supply
US with wood, protect the purity of
our streams, and otherwise serve the
people of the United States.
In Witness Whereof, l have set my
hand and caused the seal of the Unit
ed States to be affixed.
