need Is along the same line today.

Monster Silo at Las Animas
The largest single silo contract
far recorded In the state was mail'
In Las Animas recently between \\ i
I Hard A. Wight of that city and » II

; Silo company of Fort Collins M :
, Wight xxill construct four silos, i
I of them Mlxty feet high and slxt< •
' f«'t in diameter him! one forty feet
' high with a twelve-foot water taiH
on top This tank will furnish xxa
ter under h<*avy pressure for th*
tensive feeding yards as well as pro
vide water for fire protection. Mr
Wight has made a thorough study
of silo construction and became con
vinced that no greater opportunity
for economy In the cost of produc
tlon exists than that furnished by
the silo, and the same study con
vinced him that the concrete silo
would meet his needs better than
other construction. Another concrete
silo Is to be built In this section for
B. 8. Knapp. This will be built by
tbe same company.
Mr. Knapp recently purchased
from the Woodrroft farms In Pueblo
one of the best bred llolsteln bulls In
the state.

Joys of Being an Editor.
The newspaper editor is the most
mis ii lerstood and generally the
mo t ..bused man in every communi

Other men have unbiased opinions

perrii.in, never.
If In- takes the right side of a
moral question he is "playing to the
chunli*-." or Is "afraid he xxill lose
a suliMiiber." If he Is on the other
sbb h' Is In league with criminals
or i- being paid for his views
If h- is conducting a partisan pa
per it is for "the graft there Is In
it.‘ It his paper Is Independent, he
Is Hying to "shake down the polltl
' clans.”
No matter what stand he may take
any public question he may ex
pert to he criticised for It. He is
either biased or "has been seen "
If Ills editorial policies are Indors
in an election It Is In spite of the
»ol breaks" lie made which almost
ruined the cause If defeated, he Is
oily responsible
Other men may express an opinion,
'bout a hundred critics searching
