Caught in the Act

A man from the West Adams street
district drove into town. 1t was his
custom to park his car on Grand ave-
nue.. When he went for it at night it
was missing. Right away he got into
action, going downtown to the police
station and telling them all about it.
When he got home he related his woes
to his wife.
"I should care if it was stolen"
consoled she. "There are leaks in the
gas tank and radiator and it is about
done for"
A radiant smile spread over the
owners face. "Do you know" he ex-
claimed, II never parked that car on
Grand avenue. left it at garage
for repairs. I'm going after it."
He did, and was joyously riding up
West Adams street when a police of
ficer held him up. 'Hey!" charged
the officer. "Come with me. We're
looking for that car; it's been stolen"

Senator Borah, speaking of the
mass of prohibition and anti-prohi-
bition measures now before congress,
remarked:
'eThe real delay in action is lack of
knowledge as to the true sentiment
of the majority of voters. Just at
present the fate of prohibition is
marking time watching and waiting.
Indeed, these measures are very much
in the same fix as the intoxicated
man who was in the second chorus

by bluecoat.

Colorado are potentially the greatest Of all
taxable assets in this state. Il is therefore
imperative that the river be developed in

For this reason, I believe that the Colo

of the canyon up: that the initial flood con-

competing against himself in the market. in
selling to distributors and to commission
houses and he has not been able to employ
the business methods that safeguard he

Where the industrialist has almost
plete control over the quantity of his pro-
1uction, the farmer has but little. The sun,

of his production per acre.
The transportation rates of oar country
are not as favorable to agricultural products

industrialist receives the benefit of govern
