the vast territory that lies along the
towering mountains of the west.
There are many possibilities touched
upon in his article and as chief ex
ecutive of the state he is in a position
to have knowledge as well as enthus
iasm. Did vou know you have part own
ership'of 120.000,000 acres of land?
Did you know that there are 192,
000.000 acres of land out in the "gol
den west" waiting for those who wish
homesteads and who need only com
I ply with the simple government rules
to own a farm of their own?
More important, did you know that
millions of these acres are worthless
now because you and your neighbors
never took the trouble to find out
about them and ask that their arid
wastes be turned into producing gai
dens capable of feeding untold thou
sands? Millions of acres of land are wait
ing in the west for the coming of
water and that water can be obtained

through the aid of the United States
government, and aid that would not
be withheld if you and your neigh
bors epressed a desire to see it go
flowing through the deserts and trans
form them to a great aid to America.
Did you know that out in Colorado
and all through the Rocky Mountain
section there waits one of the richest
fields of natural resources the world
has ever known but that production
is far, far behind, that capital has
opportunities for unlimited develop
ment, that the advice, "Go west,
oung man," is still a living message?
It is true that in the past three
years more than 30,000,000 acres of
homestead and Indian lands have
been entered in the Rock Mountain
states, mostly by farmers from the
Mississippi valley, and millions of
acres of raw land have been placed
under cultivation.
Twit by Auto.
The main current of the swelling
stream of tourist travel that flows
into the West each year is made up
of people who have not traveled ex
tensively in the past. Most of them;
are people of moderate means. Visit
ors to the National Parks and Na-'
tional Forests come from every state j
m the Union and every year they in
clude thousands who are making
tours of the West for the first time.
Most of them travel by automobile
and many of them carry their camp
ing outfits with them, living all the
time in the open air and enjoying to
the full the wonderful climate which
is one of Nature's richest gifts to the
West.
The tourist and homeseeker move
ment to the West is especially grati
fving to those of us who are interest
ed in development of this vast area,
for we realize that development here
depends to a very large extent upon
the cooperation of the entire country,
and the people of other sections of
the United States can not be expected
to cooperate freely in the develop
ment of the West until they are better
informed about what such develop
ment means for all the nation.
It should be borne in mind that
the area of the eight Rocky Moun
tain states is 549,840,000 acres, or
approximately 29 per cent of the
area of the entire country, while the
combined areas of the eight Rocky
Mountain states and the three Pa
cific Coast states is 753,420,800 acres
area of these evelen states is Na-
tional Forests belonging to the gov
i eminent.
! In these states there is approxi
mately 192,000.000 acres of govern
ment laud open to homestead entrv.
I This is more than 25 per cent of their
total area. Some of this land is suit
able for dry farming, hut much of it
can never be fanned profitably w ith
out irrigation and most of it, so far
as we know now, is valuable only for
grazing purposes and for the mineral
it contains. The reclamation of this
public agricultural land and the de
velopment of its mineral resources
depends upon the attitude of the fed
eral government, and that attitude
depends largely upon knowledge of
tne possibilities of the West.
While these eleven states include
nearly 40 per cent of the area of the
country they contain only a little
more than eight per cent of the coun
try's population. In 1910 they con
tained about seven per cent of the
population and in 1900 only about
five per cent. These states are in
creasing in population more rapidly
than the country at large, but their
greatest need still is more people.
Rich in Minerals.
Nearly 50 per cent of the available
coal of the country is found in these
eleven states. The great bulk of the
nation's production of gold and silver
has come from these states. They
have produced immense quantities of
copper, lead and zinc and still have
vast supplies of these metals to be
worked. America's supplies of tung
sten and molybendum are found al
most exclusively in the West, and the
same is true of vanadium and other
metals of that group. The Rocky
Mountain West gave radium to the
world. The water resources of these
western states are almost illimitable.
They produce a very large percentage
taee of the country's petroleum out-

TOO BAD OLD MAN
When you find yourself entangled
in the meshes of despair, till you
wouldn't know a blessin' if you had
it by the hair, it probably was jes
tice that connived to land you there,
Too bad, old man, too bad!
If you chance to be affected with
the appetite fer bliss, till there ain't
no dissipation that you feel inclined
to miss remember, Mister Rounder,
there's a hotter world than this,
Too bad, old man, too bad!
If you harbor the opinion that you
are double-e.xtry smart, but can't
afford the camouflage to make you
look the part -you ain't beyond re
demption, but you better watch yer
heart,
Too bad, young man, too bad!
And when you feel religiouser than
others you could name, and talk
about yer neighbors, in an effort to
defame remember the humanity is
purty much the same.
Too bad, too bad, too bad!

Christmas Slippers
The arrival of Christmas just at the advent of the
winter season each year is the reason for the popularity of
house slippers as the ideal gift.
What is more comfortable than a soft pair of easy
slippers for home wear during the long winter evenings.
