The Keota News A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Published at Keota, Weld Co.. Colo., by FAE STANLEY. Manager Entered aa second-class matter June 9, 1911. at the poet office at Keota. Colo., under the act of Mar. 3, 18T9. Sabaeripttea *1.50 per Year; or *1.25 per Year If Paid hi Advance INSPIRATION OF THE COUNTY FAIR By Petar Radford. When you enter the agricultural de partment of the county fair, you feel your aoul uplifted and your life takes on a new power—that la the Inspira tion of the soil. You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene—that is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voice of nature calling you back to the soil — that la opportunity knocking at your door. It la a good chance to spend a quiet hour In contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to sweet en your life with its fragrance, elevate your ideals with its beauty and expand your imagination with its power. These products sa food are fit for the gods, and aa an article of com merce they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market In the world. The products of the soil are teachers and preachers aa well. Their beauty gives human life Its first entertain ment, their perfection stirs the genius In artists; their purity furnishes mod els for growth of character and their marvelous achievements excite our curiosity and we Inquire Into the won derful process of nature. Before leaving the parlor of agricul ture where nature la parading in her moat graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfec tion, let ns pause and take a retro spective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful prod nets are raised, they can seldom be marketed at a profit? Take the blush lng Elberta, for example—they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion—the nation's favorite vegetable—every year rota by the acre in the Southwest for want of a market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cot ton —nature's capitalist—often goes begging on the market at less than cost of production. It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band Is playing “Dixie” and boast of the marvelous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves on our ability to master science, but It Is also well to remember that there la a market side to agriculture that does not reflect Its hardships In the exhibits at a county fair. UNIVERSAL PEACE This nation la now in the midst of A controversy as to how best to pro mote universal peace. That question we will leave for diplomats to dis cuss, bat' peace within nations is no less Important than peace between nations and It is heavily ladea with prosperity for every. citizen within .our commonwealth. Many leading politicians and ofttlmea political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood In high places snd burled "gas bomba” at industry; thrust bayoneta lnto bus-- iness enterprises and bombarded ag riculture with indifference. Party leaders have many broken dip-. ioma'iic relations with industry; sent political aviators spying through the affairs of business, and political sub marines have sent torpedoes crushing into the destiny of commerce. Dur ing the past quarter of a century we have fought many a due! with prog ress, permitted many politicians to carry on a guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest enterprise. No |wtw should he permitted to cry out for universal peace until his rec ord has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for the port of Uni versal Peace. Let us by all meaaa have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home. Killing of Birds Prehibited The attention of all persons is direct ed to the fact that all insectivorous birds, and nearly all hawks and owls, are protected by the laws of Colorado. It is forbidden to kill them or to cap- I ture them alive, or to take or destroy their nests or eggs. The penalty for violation is a fine of not more than $25.00 for each bird or nest or eggs, or imprisonment not to exceed ten days in jail, or both. These birds are also pro tected by the Federal law for the pro tection of migratory birds, and offend ers are liable to prosecution by United States officers. The exception to the Colorado law are the English sparrow, sharp-shinned hawk. Cooper’s hawk, goshawk, duck hawk, great horned owl, pinon jay, magpie, blue jay, and eagle. Some of the unprotected hawks resemble the protected, be sure you are right before killing any. Remember that ignorance of the law does not excuse the offender. The Colorado Audubon Society, by E. R. Warren, President, Colorado Springs, Colo. When yea leak year best, see Fortner. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION Depertmeat of the Interior U. S. Laod CMBc* at Storitog. Cotoraio Am 7. 1915. !
