Speaks of Dearfield, th Beginning August 15, 1915, I made a two-day visit to this colored settlement of Dearfield, Masters, Colorado. As a farming district I found the soil very rich. The crops were a splendid manifestation of agricultural production. I saw great fields of sugar beets, of corn, of potatoes, of turnips, of oats, of alfalfa and wheat. I saw on one of the farms the fastest cattle I have ever seen. I asked of one on whose farm the cattle were what feed was given to produce such fat cattle. The answer was that this fat cattle had received no feed other than the pasturage of native grasses. I found this native grass in many places shoulder high. I must here remark of this supposed arid climate that I saw as heavy a rain fall as I have seen in any other part of the country. Frequently I would kick up the soil on the day before the rain to find the depth of the moisture, and at no place in the entire colony did I find the moisture deeper than two inches from the top of the ground. During my trip thro the settlement I saw many lakes impounding from one to six and seven acres of water. One of these lakes I was told, had a depth ef fifteen feet and covered about four acres of land. Its source of watter supply was from a mountain spring which was practically inexhaustible. During a so called dry year a gasoline engine and a tank could water from this lake 100 acres. The climate is mild. At midday it is pleasant, even in the sunshine. The altitude which is much lower than Denver, where many lungers go for recuperation is the best for these sick, and in this altitude of this colony all such sick people would do far better, as the distance out on the plain removes them from the raw mountain air and piercing climatic changes which happen so frequently during the winter and early spring. I found an excellent church building, and a highly educated minister stationed there. There was a colored hotel already built and ready for use. There is a nice school house underway of construction. A colored graduate and qualified teacher is already selected to begin teaching this winter. This will be the only colored school teacher in the State of Colorado. The relationship between the races appears to be of the most congenial nature and neighborly interest. The best railroad facilities possible are in close proximity to the colony. The Union Pacific R. R. is two miles North, and the Burlington R. R. passing south is about three miles distant. The Lincoln Highway passes within a stone's throw of the settlement. I found immense fields of alfalfa, beets and corn where much labor is needed that will pay per day $2.00 and up. Farm labor is paid $25.00 to $50 per month by contract. I was very much pleased with this splendid settlement, in fact so much so, that I have purchased 200 acres of state land, and am trying to bind a bargain for 640 acres more. I shall be satisfied with a five acre tract in the townsite for resident purposes. Hesafter when I am in Colorado for the summer, I shall drive through in my car and make my home at Dearfield during my vacation. I know of no better spot in Colorado I found the land adjoining this Colony in the highest state of cultivation. Some of these wheat DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. AUGUST 21, 1915 State Hist & Nut Hist Boosts State House GIANTS WHO ADC DE JOURNAL DENVER COLORAD crops will produce 50 bushels to the acre, and the sugar beet crops will certainly yield from $40 to $60 per acre net. I consider this one of the best places for investment of capital for agricultural returns. Considering the uncertainty of the cotton market in the south, and present social conditions, I cannot say too much in favor of immigration of colored people of the State of Colorado. In Colorado, I believe, there exists a public school system nowhere excelled and rarely equaled I think the school system to be the best in the country. I find here young colored men and women who have attended the State university and high schools, and have graduated with highest honors on the same educational level with the students of other races. All of these splendid opportunities upon which I have merely touched I hope the colored people of this great State and of other states will take an early advantage. Men of 25th Infantry Put Stop to Race Film Schofield Barrack, Honolulu, H. T.-The soldiers of the 25th Infantry, United States Army, stationed at this point, will not stand for the presentation of any play or picture film in the barracks' amusement hall which reflects upon the Negro race. This was shown on the night of June 8 when a picture play called "James Kirby" was put upon the screen. Advertised as one of the best pictures ever on the island, the 1910 DR. T. E. SPEED play drew a large audience of officers and enlisted men. But with the flashing of the first scene trouble began. The film was staged in the south and the theme harked back to slavery days. It showed the young Negro girls being handled by the slave owners and traders, and when the soldiers saw that the house was thrown into an uproar. From every section came the cry, "Cut it out!" There are several officers in the regiment who do not share in the southerner's prejudice against the Negro, and they showed their objections to the photo play by leaving the hall as soon as the character of the picture was discovered. Their leaving was taken as a cue and half of the audience filed out, also. As soon as the men reached the outside the rocks began to fly. The roof of the hall was bombarded to such an extent that officers had to order the stopping of the play. This is the third incident of the kind in the past six months. Recently a local show came out to the barracks from Honolulu and put on a play called "Down in Dixie." Only the most strenuous efforts on the part of the officers prevented a riot and the mobbing of the players. The actors were glad to get back to Honolulu. The men have let it be known to the officers on a number of ocassions that while amusements are desired, nothing will be tolerated that reflects in the slightest degree on the Negro race. Some of the officers make the claim that the trouble is caused by some of the recruits, but this is not borne out by the facts. Every member of the 25th infantry resent such pictures and plays.

J. JAKINO FOUND SLAIN COAL CAMP MERCHANT MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY. La Plata County Business Man Was Shot Through the Head at Parin's Peak. Western Newspaper Union News Service Durango, Colo.—Shot through the heart from behind and with two holes in his head made with an ice pick, John Jakino, 50, a saloon man and merchant of Parin's Peak, a coal mining camp four miles from here. Was found dead in his place of business by his wife. He had been murdered as he was about to close the saloon.

Breckenridge, Colo. — Placer gold amounting in value to $72,315 was shipped during the first two weeks of August from the Breckenridge district to Denver. All but $615 was the result of dredging the stream beds by four gold dredging boats which are operated by electric power. The $615 was from a couple of high-bar placer, which are operating with only a partial supply of water. The placer gold deposits in the Blue river and its tributaries extend from the head of Hoosier gulch to the Grand river, a distance of approximately over sixty miles. There are numerous "local sources" of gold in the hills of the numerous small creeks and gulches which have contributed liberally to the gold enrichment of the main stream.

MILK MILK COLORADO AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS an his “The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861" (Putnam's), C, G. Wood- son says of the abolitionist agitation that it excited the more active minded of the Negroes. The story of Tous- saint Ouverture and the talk of the rights of man that followed after the French revolution were disturbing in- fluences. About Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston and New Orleans insurrec- tionary ideas were spread by Negroes coming from unhappy Santo Domingo in 1793. In 1800 “General” Gabriel, a slave, led an uprising in Virginia, and ‘there was one in South Carolina, In 1816 Camden and in 1822 Charleston ‘were threateend by Negro plots. Den- mark Vesey, a slave who had bought his freedom, was an arch-conspirator. There were uprisings, more or less extensive, in North Carolina, and in 1831 Nat Turner’s mad raid spread ter- ror among the white folks of South- ampton county, Virginia. While these disorders were going on, however, the elementary education of the mass of the colored population was proceeding quietly. That tt should do so was simply inevitable. In- numerable cases are cited of slaves, intelligent and ambitious and not at all inclined to political rebellion or an- archy, who learned to read and write and make good use of those funda- mental acquisitions in advancing themselves along the road to “higher” learning. In their own upward pro- gression they lifted others, the natural and efficient form of “uplift.” When in its later phases the coloni- zation movement centered upon Lt- beria its more liberal advocates fa- vored higher education for Negroes in the hope that enlightenment would make them fo discontented with the lot of their race in this land that they would voluntarily emigrate. In the South the general feeling among col- onizationists was that the education should be conditional on expression of Intention to carry {t away from the American Negro. The promoters of the scheme planned to educate young Negroes in “mechanic arts, agricul- ture, science and Biblical literature,” while the exceptionally, bright ones were to be fitted for professional life and for public office. A curious museum of antiquities 1s the result of this in- vestigation; from a school opened at Parsippany, N. J., in 1817 to give a four-year course to “African youth” of “talent, discretion and piety” and similar efforts at Newark, N. J., and Hartford, Conn., to the African Educa- tion society and the scramble for the “Kosciuszko fund” that seems never to have existed but in the imagination of the colonizationists. Unyielding opposition of free Ne- groes and abolitionists, who “could see no philanthropy in educating persons to prepare for doom in a deadly cli- mate,” kept the institutions planned by the colonizationists from material- izing. At Philadelphia in 1830 a “con- vention of the free people of color” centralized the opposition. There- after the colonizing propaganda in this country was concentrated upon indi- vidual cases, and the policy of push was changed to one of pull; that is to say, the plan was to make Liberia at- tractive instead of making the United States repulsive. It was in 1816 that the National Colonization society of America was organized, that strange compound of sentiment and business. Lieutenant Stockton made a treaty with native princes in 1821. The native headmen themselves were slow to give up their When it is realized how far the Negro has come in the last fifty years it is not hard to account for the ex- tent and degree of confidence in his future. The census of 1910 shows that two out of every five persons en- gaged in gainful occupations in the 16 southern states are Negroes. Of the entire Negro population in these states 63 per cent are in some form of industrial occupation. Of all the Negroes engaged in industrial activi- ties 60 per cent are agricultural work- ers. Something like a million Negroes have ‘developed from agricultural la- borers to farmers in 50 years. ‘The efforts of the colored man to help himself have been strongly in his favor, for they have inspired the cou- fidence of the white people and made a plan of co-operation between the two much easier than it would other- wise have been. Because of this new valuation of the agricultural or indus- trial Negro there has come a truer appreciation of the human qualities in- volved. ‘There has been the feeling that the fine qualities in the character of the faithful slave were the fruitage of eee Signor Marconi has been inspecting the wireless stations of Italy, and has found them ready for any war emer. gency. ‘The erection of two universities, one at Gape Town and the other at Pre toria, is being urged by a government commission.

It was in 1847 that the colony was made independent, marking the end of an extraordinary episode of mixed philanthropy and politics. A suit was filed in the Supreme court to gain compensation for work performed by slaves during the years from 1859 to 1868, in the production of cotton in the southern states and Preparation of this cotton for the market. William G. McAdoo {s made the defendant in his official capacity as secretary of the treasury. The plaintiffs are H. N. Johnson of Lou- isiana; R. Bowers of Texas; C. B. Wil. Mams of Mississippi, and Mamie ‘Thompson of Tennessee, who say in the bill of complaint that they sue for themselves and others similarly in- terested. ‘The bill sets forth that the secretary of the treasury of the United States obtained possession, and the defend. ant herein now holds the custody, of certain money which was a part of ‘the fruit of the labor of the plaintiffs ‘amounting to $68,072,388 under “in. ‘ternal revenue tax on raw. cotton,” and that this sum is not the legitimate property of the United States, and should be paid to those by whose la. bor the cotton yielding this revenue was produced. Another paragraph of the bill reads: “Plaintiffs and such of them as claim here as heirs were subject to a sys tem of involuntary servitude in the above named states, and other states commonly known as the Southern States.” Referring further to the conditions under which the services were ren: dered, the petition says: “That the system of involuntary ser- vitude by whic plaintiffs were domt- nated, to wit: under and by force plaintiffs and their ancestors, against their free will of action and by coercion and justiflable fear of bodily injury or destruction, to render said labor.” ‘The petition was filed by Attorney E. M. Hewlett, as the local attorney representing Attorneys Cornellus J. Jones of Muskogee, Oklahoma, and H. A. Guess. Jones, who {s said to have prepared the bill of complaint, is a colored lawyer. ‘The petition asks that the case be referred to a master in chancery, to take proof of the claims of the parties interested, and that a bill of discovery be issued to ascertain among whom the money shall be distributed and the amounts that each shall receive, and to have the secretary of the treasury disclose the source from which the sum held by him was derived.

Germany Asked to Explain Interpreta- tion of Existing Treaty on Naval Warfare. ‘Western: Newspaper Union News arvice, Washington, Aug. 18—The Ameri- can reply to Germany's last note on the sinking of the American sailing ship Wm. P. Frye, made public here by the State Department, accepts the proposal that damages be fixed by a mixed commission and that the dis- puted treaty provisions be submitted to arbitration at the Hague, but calls on Germany for a statement mean- while as to whether she intends to conduct her future naval operations in accordance with her interpretation of the Prussian-American treaty, or that of the United States. ‘The note is re- garded as putting the noted case well on the way to settlement. It is ad- dressed by Secretary Lansing to Am- bassador Gerard at Berlin. The note, in part, follows: “You are instructed to present the following note to the German minister of foreign affairs: “Under instructions from my gov- ernment I have the honor to inform your excellency in reply to your note of July 30 in regard to the claim for reparation for the sinking of the Wm. P. Frye that the government of the United States learns with regret that the objections urged by it against the submission of this case to the prize court for decision have not commend- ed themselves to the imperial German government and it equally regrets that the reasons presented by the im- perial German government for sub- mitting this case to the prize court have failed to remove the objections of the government of the United States to the adoption of that course. “As this disagreement has been reached after the full presentation of the views of both governments in our previous correspondence a further ex- change of views on the questions in dispute would doubtless be unprofit- able and the government of the Unit ed States therefore welcomes your ex- cellency’s suggestion that some other way should be found for settling this case. “The two methods of settlement pro- posed as alternative suggestions in your excellency’s note have been giv- en careful consideration and it is be- lieved that if they can be combined so that they may both be adopted they will furnish a satisfactory basis for the’ solution of the question at issue. “The government of the United States has already expressed its de- sire that the question of the amount of indemnity to be paid by the im- Perial German government under its admitted liability for the losses of the owners and captain on account of the destruction of the Frye should be set- tled by diplomatic negotiation and it pentirely concurs with the suggestion of the imperial German government that the simplest way would be to agree, as proposed in your note, that each of the two governments desig- nate an expert and the two experts jointly fix the amount of indemnity for the vessel and any American property which may have been sunk with her, to be paid by the imperial German government when ascertained as stated in your note. It is assumed that the arrangement will include some provision for calling in an um- pire in case the experts fail to agree.” Wilson Names Hawaiian Judge.

From the returns of mining and agricultural industries in Colorado it is apparent that a restoration of the financial greatness of the state is at hand, and the prospect as we are impressed is very encouraging. But there's a quality attached to this invitation to farmers and miners, and that is: the pioneer days and the days of adventure are past, and so prospectors must come financially garrisoned so that they can be in the position to fraternise with those who have preceded them, thereby creating harmonious workings among them. This is not applicable to the big financier, but also the man of pretty fair or moderate means, as there are claims that are being offered by the government in sections and quarter sections, and the conditions attached for ownership are so easy to be filled that hardly has a claim been forfeited after taken up. The climatic conditions which are enjoyed by everyone who enters the Rocky Mountain region prove a source of health to the seeker, and that element is in itself an inducement to the right man for the right place. Already there are farmers from the Southland located in different parts of the state, and they are confirmed in their opinion that everything bids fair to successful results from investments. What with the rebuilding of the European nations after the war; what with the great and rapid increase of our American export trade and the demand upon our country for substantial support, there is every reason of superabundant success as well as financial progress for every investor. Get in now and insure against overwhelming odds that may arise. DO YOUR DUTY. Knowledge dwells in heads replete With thoughts of other men, Wisdom in minds attentive to their own. -Shakespeare. We have been asked again and again by many of our faithful subscribers as well as others of the public why we do not publish a daily paper, a triweekly or something more than a weekly issue, and after giving their inquiry the most careful consideration, we have come to the conclusion that the answer can be summed up in these few words—the lack of knowledge of the public's duty and obligation to the press, which is not only an invaluable medium of information among the peoples of this vast universe, but also an essential desideratum to their very existence. If one would respond or accept an invitation to go with the newspaper man through the various ramifications of the press and its publications, it would be readily discovered that the work attached or the duty devolved on him to procure and insure good, healthy, readable, intelligent and sound matter for the public is not quite as easy as the mere reading of the published accounts of what is transpiring the country over, yea, the very world at large; but it is the result of arduous toil, sleepless nights, continuous travels in mental and physical realms, which at times would almost tempt one to give up, were not the bull-dog tenacity present at every stage of action forbidding this wonderful agent—this master worker, this influence which materially shapes the destinies of nations by its resolution to interchange ideas with thoughts of others—never to falter, never to give up, but continue in its good work until the intellectual mind is aroused and the dormant faculties awakened to their duty, their responsibility and obligation to an institution which is unlimited in its resources and all-powerful in its magnitude. For these many reasons this paper that is being read in all parts of the world, from the icy esklimo region to the antipodes, is placing emphasis on the necessity of the people of our race taking a greater part in the press and meeting their obligations financially and otherwise, giving their unstinted support to a cause, the harvest of which will be superabundant and enjoyed by all. The old school days' topic—"Which is mightier, the pen or the sword?"—has always echoed and re-echoed in our growth, and if we can remember the grand array of scholarly arguments that used to be brought out, then giving the PEN the pre-eminence can be still entertained, and therefore no excuse should be offered for the non-fulfilment of an obligation or a dereliction of duty. On behalf of the press, therefore, The Colorado Statesman in its message strongly reminds the members of the race that upon themselves depends their destiny, and the stronger the foundations of the press in this or any other country we inhabit the more gigantic will be the literary and educational superstructures which will form the great bulwark that will withstand any assault against our present and future progress. Rouse, then, from your lethargy and DO YOUR WHOLE DUTY TODAY. Great Menace of Content to Man By Phillip Brooks, Kansas City, Mo. It is in this truth that I find the real secret, the deepest meaning, of the everlasting dissatisfaction of man that is always ready to be stirred. We moralize, we philosophize about the discontent of man. We give little reasons for it; but the real reason for it all is this, that which everything lying behind really signifies, that man is greater than his circumstances, and that God is always calling to him to come up to the fullness of his life. Dreadful will be the day when the world becomes contented, when one great universal satisfaction spreads itself over the world. Sad will be the day for every man when he becomes absolutely contented with the life that he is living, with the thoughts that he is thinking, with the deeds that he is doing, when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do because he is the child of God. And there is the real secret of the man's struggle with his sins. It is not simply the hatefulness of the sin, as we have said again and again, but it is the dim perception, the deep suspicion, the real knowledge at the heart of the man, that there is a richer and a sinless region in which it is really meant for him to dwell. Man stands separated from that life of God, as it were, by a great, thick wall, and every effort to put away his sin, to make himself nobler and a purer man, is simply his beating at the inside of that door which stands between him and the life of God, which he knows that he ought to be living. It is like the prisoner hidden in his cave, who feels through all the thick wall that shuts him out from the sunlight and the joyous life that is outside, who knows that his imprisonment is not his true condition, and so with every tool that his hands can grasp and with his bleeding hands themselves, beats on the stone, that he may find his way out. Are the richest kiddies the happiest in the land or are the happiest babies the richest in the land? The millionaire mother who raises her little son like a crown prince and has Question of Interest to All Motherhood By M. L. Danforth, Denver, Colo. Are the richest kiddies the happiest in the land or are the happiest babies the richest in the land? The millionaire mother who raises her little son like a crown prince and has him guarded as if he were going to some day inherit a throne, thinks her baby is the happiest in the land, but other fond mothers think she is mistaken. They believe that only a "poor" baby can be really happy. When the "poor" child is a babe in arms the mother hangs over it, puts the tiniest stitches in the precious baby dresses and kisses it at every cry. When it begins to walk and falls over the threshold, it is the mother and not a stern governess who runs and picks him up. The "poor" baby is left to play alone sometimes and given a chance to spill a bottle of ink or pour mamma's best perfume out of the window "to see it wain." This baby can play in a sand pile on pleasant days and have countless pans and dishes to pass the time away and make mud pies and play with rag dolls and have just oodles of fun! As the last hours of the day draw near baby tries to make the best of the time that is left him. The rattles rattle louder than ever, the toy horses rock harder and the small voices get stronger and shriller. Baby doesn't need a mind to put him to bed and stay with him because he knows the bogey-man can't get him while mamma is near. Rag dolls, mud pies and—oftentimes even mamma is denied the richest babies. That's what makes us think these rich babies are not the happiest babies. Do you? Substantial Tax for the Jitney Bus By R. L. Coxey, San Francisco, Cal. The California supreme court has decided that the drivers of jitney automobiles may rightfully be asked to pay a substantial license tax and also to furnish bonds for good behavior. ior and for accident liability. The restrictions imposed were so obviously in the public interest that the result was a foregone conclusion. There will be very few to cavil at it. Perhaps it is too soon to predict that the advent of the jitney was a mere temporary spasm and that it will presently occupy a very small space on a back page of municipal history. But the jitney will certainly become inconspicuous and innocuous, and this would inevitably happen even without the aid of the new restrictions. In its inception it was but a phase of the unemployment problem. Owners of cheap cars found that they could pick up a few dollars in nickels and dimes and that the weekly receipts represented a fair wage. But they made no allowance for depreciation. Very few among them could replace their cars, or even keep them in good condition under the wear and tear of the road and of continuous service. The life of the jitney as a serious institution might be measured by the life of the cars actually in use. Possibly the jitney in one form or another may never wholly disappear, but it will lose most of its present features, and they will be unlamented. In the meantime it is eminently proper that the jitney should be regulated. It must give guaranties that it can meet its responsibilities. It should have a fixed route and adhere to it. And it should pay its proper share toward the maintenance of the streets. Beautiful Vision of True Patriot By James G. Scott, Salt Lake, Utah. True patriotism looks beyond the individual, looks beyond the party, looks beyond section, and looks beyond race and creed, to center its gaze on the inter- Beautiful Vision of True Patriot By James G. Scott, Salt Lake, Utah. True patriotism looks beyond the individual, looks beyond the party, looks beyond section, and looks beyond race and creed, to center its gaze on the interests that are essential to the upkeep and development of a pure and wholesome national life. Selfishness is the undoing of corporate, as it is the ruin of individual character. The immense amount of worldliness that is apparent in the United States today is due to this egocentric way of regarding life—and it is by no means the politicians only who are sinners in this ignoble respect, for the political leaders, who come from the people, are mainly what the people make them. We may go a step further and affirm that true patriotism looks beyond any one country, to regard the world as its field for prayer, missionary interest and social effort. The vision of the genuine patriot will not stop with the United States, or even with the Americans, but will sweep abroad over the whole globe, in obedience to that ancient pagan saying (which Christianity alone puts into practice), "Nothing human is foreign to me."

THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, Twenty-fourth avenue and Ogden street. David E. Over, D.D., minister. It is needless to inform the public that the Williams’ concert given last week at the Auditorium under the aus. pices of Zion church was, from every point of view, the most successful of any similar undertaking Denver has ever known, There were nearly twen- ty-five hundred persons _ present, among whom there were many of the most wealthy and influential people in the state. To say that this was a “sentiment maker” for the race is to express it mildly. The applause was so hearty and persistent that the stage manager was forced to plead for permission to continue the pro- gram as published, Next Wednesday and Thursday nights the church will conclude its summer entertainment activities by holding a season-end fair. Special at- tention is called to Wednesday's pro- gram, in which will be presented Prof. Fuller, the most remarkable and ver- satile musician in the race, Mr, Ful- ler is an eaolian harpist of unusual ability, using also a number of other instruments, performing on three at the same time, He will be supported by the best talent in the city. This program will be greatly enjoyed. Sunday evening the pastor will give a stereopticon lecture from the “Life of St. Paul.” These beautiful views with interesting narative will prove an inspiration and delight to all.

It will make a dessert second to none, if properly used. ‘The covered enameled ware casse role is the proper cooking utensil for dried fruit. Let it soak over night. and cook very slowly, and it will re gain its shape and also its finest fla vor. In addition it should have some sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes soaked in just enough wine to cover them and then cooked in this way taste like something costly. Apricots cooked with raisins are good. So are dried apples cooked in the good, old fashioned way, in cider. A mixture of two or three kinds of dried fruit, all cooked together, is good Dried peaches —add a little vanilla to the sirup when they are done. Dried cherries are not used here to any extent, but in Eng land, where the cherry is ah old and famous fruit, they are used with cur rants in plum cake, and very nice they are. It is perfectly practicable to use any sort of dried fruit, cooked slowly in this way, to add flavor to bread pud: dings or steamed puddings. The fruit can be either mixed with the bread pudding or put in the dish with the bread on top, or in layers; but when it is used the bread should not be soaked in milk; the fruit juice will make enough moisture, and the bread should merely be soaked enough in water to make it soft, and cooked with the fruit, covered. FOR THE’ MORNING REPAST ‘Some Dishes That Are More Than Usu- | ally Acceptable In the Hot Weather. In the summer this meal should be simple and of wholesome, easily di: gested food. Of course things must be tasty, and quite as much thought and pains should be expended on s light breakfast as on a heavy one. Foods should be selected in reference to their suitability to one another and the season. The Sunday morning breakfast should be different. Banish from the Sunday morning breakfast table anything that isyserved on week day mornings except coffee. * Here aré a few simple menus which may serve as a guide: Peaches or stewed pears, hominy poached eggs on toast, cocoa or coffee Raspberries or blackberries, frie egg plant, toast, coffee. Blackberries, cream of wheat, mold ed eggs, toast, coffee. Fruit, cereal, small broiled lamt chops, with cold asparagus; rolls coffee. .

Fruit, cereal, creamed dried beef muffins, coffee. Chop fine a cupful o! dried beef, Put over the fire with ons gill of cream or milk. Season with pepper and stir in four beaten eggs When thick turn over squares of ho buttered toast. Orange juice, cereal, broiled mack erel, baked potatoes, toast, coffee. S Carafe Frappe. Frappe, as most persons know, {@ to freeze, and carafe 1s the glass decan- ter smart folk use at their functions for holding drinking water. Fill the bottles with distilled water to within an inch of the top and then ink them to two-thirds depth in a tub of ice, as for making ice cream; use less salt than for cream, and do not have the ice cover the decanters any higher than stated, as the glass may break. Stopper them with bits of absorbent cotton during the freezing. The ice forms at the bottom of the bottles and the displaced water rises, and as long as the ice remains the decanters can be refilled and used after a few minutes. Bake Vegetables. Do not boil vegetables in the old- fashioned way and throw away most of the substance in the water. Cook them in the oven and pre- serve the flavor and prevent odors in the house, ‘This last is especially true of sauer- kraut, cabbage and onions. If you have no casserole cook them in a granite pan, placed in a pan of water in the oven. If to be served with a cream sauce, pour a thin sauce over the raw vegetables and cook till ten- der, or cook with butter or meat fry hiss or babén, Baked Sausages. Place them in a dripping pan fp single layer and bake in a moderate oven; turn them when half done, that they may be brown on both sides; serve with pfeces of tonst between them, having cut the toast about the size of the sausages and moistenec with a lttle of the sausage fat. Potato and Pea Salad. Cook the peas in saltea water; when done, put aside to cool; add to them cold boiled potatoes cut in small dice; uiso a hard boiled egg and a white, boiled onion, chopped fine; pour over them a dressing made of oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. To Save the Fruit Jar. Before pouring hot fruit into a glass dish or jar, place the receptacle on a sloth wet in cold water. This prevents the glass from breaking.—-Good House Meaping Margarine. E.

PHONE CHAMPA 2077 ee - 2 5 sag i | Nb Ae i Colored Odd Fellows Endorse Woman * Suffrage At tbe sixth Biennial meeting of the District Grand Lodge No. 2, of the United Order of Odd Fel- ows of New York, held August 3rd, 4th and 5th at Ebenezer Baptist Church, in Poughkeepsie, a reso- lution was adopted endorsing wo- man suffrage. Grand Master, W. David Brown, in his address said in part:—- ’“Again we approach the thres- hold of another Grand Lodge ses- sion; we have assembled in this ‘magnificent city along the Nile of America, where we have an oppor- tunity to see and to feel the influ ence of one of the greatest institu- tions of learning for women in this cguatry, Vassar College. This city has produced some remarkable women, who have contributed their share in making our race and order tlie better for their having lived. T}can conscientiously say from long experience that this city has produced ona woman, who has walked side by side with the speaker for lo, these many years, (and has grown accordingly) who, by her mildness of spirit and her well-balanced disposition, has greatly aided in bringing about the prosperity now enjoyed.” “As your Grand Master I have Uéen interviewed on several occa- sions by representatives from the ‘Woman Suffrage League, request- ing me to give an expression upon the right of women to vote. I be. liéve the women shonld have the right to vote and havea voice in the selection of the ones to con-| duct the affairs of our government. We do not believe that any one should be taxed without represen- tation, This is the foundation of a'free ard independent govern- nient; therefore it is our candid be- lief if the right to vote is benefi cial to our Carcasian sister, it will be of greater help to onr women and we should cast our ballot in the November election in favor of giving our women the right to yote.”” Among the formal recommenda- tions passed by the Lodge was the following: “We recommend that it willbe the sense and duty of every Odd Fellow who has the right of suf- frage, to cast his ballot at the elec- tion to be held in November, 1915, for Women to haye the right to vote in this Commonwealth, In_poli- tics, as in Odd-fellowship, woman's worth will be felt.” The woman’s auxiliary, the Household of Ruth, which was al- so in executive session at the same time as Lodge No. 2, passed a sim- ilar resolution, endorsing woman suffrage.

An Unfinished Story BY HAROLD CARTER (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) "If John Ayre were to leave me," said Fitton & Co., "I don't know what I should do." Fitton & Co. was Henry Fitton, the famous publisher. He had started in the business five years before, with a capital of a thousand dollars, and his record since then had been one of continuous success. Many publishers stated that they desired only literary merit in their productions, and not big names; but Henry Fitton meant it. He had brought half a dozen new authors to the front. He was always represented on the list of best sellers. But John Ayre was the cause of his success. Ayre was his head reader, and appeared omniscient. Ayre had never let a masterpiece slip through his fingers. He had an intuitive instinct which told him whenever a novel, submitted to the firm, was going to succeed. Ayre seemed able to plumb the depths of the human heart—in manuscripts. But not in life. "Ayre," said Fitton & Co. one day, "I wish you were a mixer. I'd take you into the firm. But you aren't. You are only a mixer in theory. I wish you were the sort of fellow who could put a little personality into your work, make good impressions, and build up the business." "I guess I'm only cut out to be a reader," answered John Ayre. "You're a darned good one, anyhow," said Fitton & Co., and that was true. Ayre had picked that little schoolgirl manuscript from Arkansas, which every publisher but Fitton had rejected. He had spotted its human qualities, he had punctuated and revised it, and it had sold into three hundred thousand copies. He had taken that illiterate cowboy tale, with its marvelous realism, and changed the title, rewriting most of A "What's This, Ayre?" the book, except the descriptions. He had changed the hero into a heroine and given her blonde hair and a fancy name. That book had sold to the extent of two hundred and fifty thousand. Ayre was a mystery. He was a man of thirty-five. Fitton had given him a job out of pity four years before. The man looked half insane. He seemed to have been through some mental stress which had changed his nature. Fitton had suspected him of drinking. But Ayre never touched liquor, and inside of a year he was head reader. About a week after Fitton's remarks Ayre brought him a manuscript. It was written with the pen—a thing which would have condemned it in nine offices out of ten. It was in a woman's hand, and it was tied with pink ribbon, a thing which would have killed its chances in nineteen offices out of twenty. For usually one can tell the type of mind that produces fiction from the appearance of the story. "What's this, Ayre?" inquired the publisher. "A good story, Mr. Fitton," answered the reader. "From a young woman in Washington. I am compelled to tell you that it is likely to be the success of the season." "Why, 'compelled,' Ayre?" "Because I want to ask you not to accept it, slr," answered Ayre, and Fitton saw that he was trembling. Ayre left the manuscript on Fitton's desk and walked unsteadily away. Fitton looked after him in some astonishment. Then, being himself no mean judge of the value of a book, he turned to the book's perusal. He was fascinated by it. It was, indeed, a story in a million. But when he reached the end he saw, as he supposed, why Ayre had objected to its acceptance. It was indefinite. He took the manuscript to his reader. "I see what you mean, Ayre," he said. "It's a splendid story, but it doesn't come to an end. The couple quarrel, and the girl turns him down. Years afterward she realizes that she was always loved the man. She is too proud to go to him, but she writes a letter which remains unanswered. So she puts her love into a book. But the story ends with the publication of the book. It isn't a story." "But it's life," answered Ayre. "I'll send it back," said Fitton, wondering at Ayre's strange manner. "I'll write the girl that it's a good book, but we can't accept it in view of the conclusion." However, before the letter and manuscript had been mailed Fitton received a visit from the author in person. A very pretty young woman of about twenty-five came into his office. She attracted his interest immediately, less on account of her beauty than from the character in her face. "I called about my manuscript," she said, a little timidly. "Ah, yes! Sit down, Miss—Miss Raymond," answered the publisher. "The fact is, I have a letter in the stenographer's hands at present, addressed to you. Your book is wonderful. But it is inconclusive." "Life is inconclusive," answered the girl, and for a moment it seemed odd to Fitton that Ayre had used almost the same expression. "You bring your couple upon the scene excellently," said Fitton. "We were greatly impressed. The setting is superb. In fact, Miss Raymond, your novel has the staging of a great success. But it doesn't end. What end there is tragical. We don't refuse to consider tragedy, but at least the ending must be made clear. Now in your book the heroine simply confides her sorrows to a book, trusting that the lover will see it and realize her feelings, which shyness prevented her from expressing. If you could change the end—" The girl smiled wearly. "I will think it over, Mr. Fitton," she answered. "I hope you will," replied the publisher, "because our reader, Mr. John Ayre, thinks highly of it. But here he is coming into my office. Now, Miss Raymond, I want you and Mr. Ayre to have a good talk—" He ceased, for the girl had suddenly straightened herself and was looking at Ayre with the strangest expression upon her face. The publisher had only once seen such a look, and that was at the same time, for its answer was on the face of his head reader. He looked at them in astonishment, and then he understood. And, because he was human as well as a publisher, he went discreetly out and left them in his office together. When, ten minutes later, he ventured back, he knocked cautiously before entering. He heard a hasty movement within. John Ayre and Miss Raymond were standing opposite each other beside the desk. And the look on the face of each one made the publisher's heart very happy. For he loved John, in spite of his odd ways. "Mr. Fitton, I have persuaded Miss Raymond to change her ending," said John. "Yes," answered the girl slowly. "For, you see, I know the sequel now." Fitton's hand descended hard on John's shoulder. "John," he said, "if the sequel proves a success I'm going to take you into partnership. I believe you will develop the qualities of a mixer after all." THEY'RE THE SWIFTEST DOGS Greyhounds, It Has Been Proved, Can Run as Fast as Carrier Pigeons Fly. Comparatively few people realize of what remarkable speed dogs are capable. The wolf can run between fifty and sixty miles in one night, and the Arctic fox can do quite as well, if not better. Nansen met one of these foxes on the ice at a point more than seventy miles northwest of the Sanki-kow territory, which is 480 miles from the Asiatic coast. Eskimo and Siberian dogs travel 45 miles on the ice in five hours, and there is one case on record in which a team of Eskimo dogs traveled six and one-half miles in 28 minutes. English setters and pointers hunt at the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least two hours. Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift, as is proved by the fact that a dog of this breed once beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six and one-half minutes. Greyhounds are the swiftest of all four-footed creatures, and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons. English greyhounds which are carefully selected and which are used for coursing are able to cover at full gallop a space between eighteen and twenty-three yards every second. It is said that a hare at its greatest speed never goes faster than at the rate of eighteen yards a second. These interesting statistics fully prove the right of the greyhound to rank as the swiftest of the quadrups. Liszt indulged in a strange form of cold smoking. Massenet, who knew him well in his later years, relates that Liszt could not play unless he held in his mouth a cigar, which he never troubled to light. He would sit down to the piano with a cigar between his teeth and keep munching it all the time he played. When the cigar was quite eaten up the Abbe would rise from the instrument exhausted.

THE PAWNED BABY By VANE MERRIMAN. Rosa Hornitz moved heavily down the narrow aisle between the dusty glass cases of the pawnshop and peered up into the storm-swept streets. "We got to light the lamps about now, papa," she said over her shoulder. The little man huddled over a greasy ledger at a desk near the window looked up with hawk eyes. "You shouldn't be cutting off all what light there is, Rosa," he reproved his wife. "When I make a footing of this here yesterday's page, then, maybe, we shall light lamps." Rosa moved her bulky form so that it no longer obscured the window. From the basement doorway she could look up and see many feet passing along the sidewalk, the feet of men, women and little children, and if it had been light enough in the basement Papa Hornitz might have seen his wife's face wet with tears. Suddenly a pair of large, masculine feet, shot in well-worn galoshes, hesitated at the top of the flight of stone steps and then passed on. Rosa turned toward her husband. "Cousin Lensky just went by; I could to tell his galoshes." "The feet of a meddler," snarled Jacob Hornitz. "He dare not show his face to me." "Papa, papa," soothed Rosa, laying her hand on her husband's trembling arm. "Did he not steal my boy—my Joey?" "Ah, papa!" wailed Rosa, "it was not Lensky who stole our son. It was his niece, that good for nothing Ray Nemuss, with her fancy ways." "It was Lensky who told Joey if he broke his engagement to Ray her heart would break. And even though our hearts break from his disobedience our son marries her, and we never see him." Jacob's voice cracked drearily. "You told him never to show face here again. And her; we hated her for her silly ways and because we were jealous. Now they have moved to Chicago—so far away," reminded Rosa. The door opened suddenly to admit a customer. Jacob retired to light a lamp over a distant counter and prepared to haggle over a gold watch. Mrs. Hornitz stood before the door watching the feet on the sidewalk. Suddenly a bulky object blotted out the view; there was a commotion on the stone steps and something bumped against the door. Out of the storm and wet there was propelled into the shop a baby carriage pushed by a shawl-shrouded woman. "For what—" Rosa was angrily beginning when the woman interrupted. "Please—please to let me have a dollar on it. It's a fine carriage, almost new and—" "Wait," Rosa interrupted in her turn and lighted a bracket lamp. She examined the carriage closely, poked its empty depths and then nodded assent. While she fumbled in the cash drawer the woman pushed the carriage into a dusky corner out of the way of a passing customer. The transaction concluded, the woman clutched the dollar bill and the pawn ticket and vanished into the night. Jacob was lighting the remaining lamps that shone like dim yellow oases in the desert gloom of the shop. "Times is hard, papa," observed Rosa. "Times is always hard for some folks," retorted Jacob as he returned to his desk. "Times is very bad when a lady pawns her baby carriage. Look, papa a fine, handsome carriage, and only a dollar asked." Jacob glanced toward the corner and nodded. Rosa usually made a good bargain. He sighed sharply. Rosa Hornitz knew that he was thinking of their son Joey, gone almost a year. They had not seen Joey since his marriage. Now he was in Chicago, where Cousin Lensky had relatives, but he had never written. Perhaps Jacob's denunciations still rang in his ears. At eleven o'clock Rosa, nodding over her knitting, lifted her head sharply. Jacob locking up his books, stared at her curiously. "What is it?" he asked. "I thought you made a cry, papa," she said meekly. "You would always hear things, Rosa," he reproved. A queer little sound came from the darkest corner of the shop, a feeble, half strangled cry. Rosa and Jacob rushed from their place and met in the middle of the shop. Their eyes questioned each other. Jacob spoke first. Perspiration beaded his forehead; he essayed a careless laugh. "I am like a child—a crazy one," he confessed. "I thought 'twas little Joey crying! And him—God knows where!" "Ah, papa!" wailed Rosa. "I heard it too. It is a bad sign and—" She stopped and listened with a tense look on her round face. The cry again—louder—a distinct wall. "A—a—baby!" Jacob stamped his foot angrily. "Rosa, fool that you are! There is a baby in that carriage." "Ah, no! The lady had no baby. The carriage was empty—I felt in it," protested Rosa, waddling toward the corner, Jacob carried a lamp and flashed it toward the carriage. "The carriage was empty," repeated Rosa, bending over it. "Jacob, it is a baby—poor, forgotten one!" Her arms plunged into the carriage and brought from under the hood a bundle wrapped in an old shawl. The bundle wriggled and wailed lustily. "You will take it to the police," commanded Jacob sourly. "What for should anyone wish us bad luck like this?" The baby suddenly stopped crying and, cradled in Rosa's hungry, motherly arms, stared up at her with round, black eyes. "He should maybe two months old," remarked Rosa. "Such a beautiful boy—see, Jacob he smiles at you!" "I see nothing but bad luck," shrugged Jacob peevishly. "Where is my umbrella and my galoshes, Rosa?" "What for panda?" "I go to the police." "In the morning, Jacob—husband! Let me keep him tonight—I will take him tomorrow myself—poor little one—that a mother should pawn her babe for a dollar," she crooned softly. Jacob stamped back to his desk and looked up his records. "Ticket 13482," he mumbled. "Did you know the woman, Rosa?" "No. She looked like that Vetta Vogel what keeps boarders down by Hester street." Rosa threw this information over her fat shoulder. "I go to give baby some milk, papa." The door into the living room slammed. Jacob sat and stared at the closed door. He could hear Rosa's tender voice as she moved to and fro and again the baby's cry ending in a gurgle of satisfaction. "But for the heavy years—it could be little Joey again," he sighed. "He was a good son—it was his only disobedience." He bowed his head upon his greasy ledger. He did not hear Rosa when she came into the shop and dragged Joey's cradle from a dusty corner, nor the heavy vibration of her tireless feet as she waited upon the wail. He was thinking of Joey in all his delightful phases from infancy to upright young manhood. * * * * * * * * * A week later Jacob Hornitz faced a shawl-wrapped woman. She pushed some money and a pawn ticket across the counter. "I came for it," she said briefly. Jacob studied the ticket and nodded. He went to the corner and pulled out the baby carriage. "Here it is," he said. The woman hesitated. She was old and wrinkled and her hair was grizzled. "I want the baby, too," she said sharply. "The ticket calls for baby carriage —no more," said Jacob sternly. "I want the baby. I hear him crying now." She started toward the back of the shop, but Jacob and the carriage blocked her path. "No lady would pawn her baby. You are crazy." he said. "I tell you I hear it." "What you hear it our own baby—one I shall adopt. Will you go or must I call police?" he asked politely. "I will go and bring police myself, old man!" she cried shrilly, and clattered up the steps. Rosa came into the shop, carrying the baby in her arms. Jacob poked a crooked finger under the baby's dimpled chin. "Such a little rascal babee!" he chuckled. The shop door flew open and two people flung inside—a girl whose face was sharpened by illness and privation a young man gaunt and holloweyed, a ghost of dashing Joey Hornitz. "I want my baby," said the girl tensely, holding out eager arms. Silently Rosa dropped the baby in Ray's arms. She and Jacob stared at Joey with unbelieving eye. They scarcely listened to his tale of poverty and illness and how an avaricious and merciless landlady had caused baby and carriage to vanish one stormy night. They had just gained her confession that she had pawned the carriage and relieved her house of the nuisance of a baby guest. "I am sorry for the trouble, papa," said Joey, "but we will go now. Come, Ray. Good-by, mamma." Jacob scurried down to the door and locked it. "You couldn't take away our baby," he defied them. "It's got to stay here—and you, Joey—and Ray, your wife—we want you all. Eh mamma?" Rosa's eyes were full of tears. Joey's arm was around her and Jacob was awkwardly hugging Ray and the baby. "Of course all our children must stay here by us," she said decidedly. "Joey, you help papa. Ray, baby's milk is warm—we must feed him now." (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) A Poor Present A wounded soldier explained his grievance to his nurse.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP National Museum Gets Copy of Old Mosaic Map WASHINGTON.One of the oldest maps in the form of mosaic has recently been installed on the second floor of the new building of the National museum. It is a reduced reproduction in colors of a mosaic map of much damaged by ignorant workmen before it was saved by the scientists. The part of the map saved from destruction extends from Nablus, the Biblical Shechem, in the north, to the Nile delta of Egypt in the south. Unlike modern maps, the Medeba map is orientated not toward the north, but toward the east. Cities and towns are represented by buildings, sometimes surrounded by palm trees. The Jordan is shown as a comparatively broad stream, which falls into the Dead sea, and the latter is agitated by currents represented by thick black streaks. The banks of the Jordan are connected by two bridges, while on the surface of the Dead sea two vessels are depicted. The mountains are designated in various tints to indicate their several strata. In the desert east of the Jordan a gazelle is represented as being pursued by some animal, possibly a lion or a panther. This interesting reproduction was acquired by Mr. Woodward in Jerusalem while he was on a tour around the world in the interest of the Christian missions in 1899. Uncle Sam Is Trying to Make News Print Paper UNCLE SAM is trying to make newspapers. That statement is literally true, for he really is trying—not to print them, mind you—but to make them. To be more explicit, he is trying to devise a way to make the paper far is that it not white but gray. Now, this gray paper, made from the western hemlocks, lodgepole pine, red fir, and other substitutes for the spruce ground wood as now used, is durable and excellent paper in every way. The trouble is with its color. And there Uncle Sam confronted the first problem of the newspaper publisher—circulation. He ran amuck of the much-discussed "psychology of the newspaper reader." For newspaper editors told him that gray paper never would do for printing newspapers because newspaper readers will not buy papers printed on anything else but pristine and simon-pure white paper. The more snowlike the paper the greater the rejoicing of the circulation manager. The government experts did not go about their work in an academic sort of way. When they evolved paper which they believed would stand the test of the great presses of the modern newspapers they "tried it on the dog;" meaning they had New York and St. Louis publishers print regular editions of their papers on the government production. In every respect the substitutes met the test, until they reached the eye of the circulation manager. These came the objection to the color. The experiments, if successful, will be of greatest benefit, it is stated, in the middle West, in Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee. Those cities, it is expected, soon will feel the pinch of greatly increased cost of print paper. Timber men state that already the end of the spruce forests in those great states is in sight.

This means not alone to increase the secret service of the treasury department, but also the department of Justice. At the state, war and navy department building the force of uniformed watchmen has been increased. No one without a pass is allowed to enter the building after office hours. The object of this is to guard against the theft of valuable papers. Naval secrets have disappeared from time to time and it is hinted that the papers were abstracted through the efforts of agents of foreign powers. The additional safeguarding of the public buildings does not, of course, meet the needs as to more secret agents. But it shows the situation is worrying high officials. In some quarters it is suspected that Germany has a number of underground workers in this country. It is likely some of the other European countries also have spies here. The passport frauds and the supposed efforts to transmit military information by wireless have required the services of a large number of government agents. However, it is also true that the efforts of the British to enlist recruits here, and some of the other activities of the allies have also required close watching.

It may not seem reasonable to the reader to treat of winter window gardens in midsummer, but a careful consideration of the subject from my point of view will convince the flower-loving person, I feel quite sure, that this article is "timely." Look over the window gardens of your neighbors, in winter, when they ought to be at their best to give the fullest degree of satisfaction, and I think you will find the majority of them far from satisfactory. The plants will be small, much too small to be ornamental; and if you keep an eye on them throughout the season you will find that few of them reach the flowering stage before March, which is to say that most specimens in the ordinary house collection of plants give few or no flowers at the period when a window garden should afford us the greatest amount of pleasure. What we aim at is flowers in winter—not in the spring, when the blossoms of the outdoor garden are at hand. Said a woman to me, not long since: "I don't see why it is that I can't have flowers in the winter. Some of my friends have, and they don't take half as good care of their plants as I do. Why, some of them don't repot their plants at all, still I notice they have flowers from them; and I go over all my plants just before winter sets in, and repot them and cut them back or start new ones and take pains to give them the best soil and am so careful about watering, and fertilizing, and airing, but most of them will not blossom for me. They look healthy and they grow well, but one doesn't care for just leaves. Now, this woman's failure to obtain flowers from her plants was explained by three words she made use of—"just before winter." The attention she gave the plants at that period came several months too late. The fact is, as anyone will readily see when they come to think the matter over, a plant cannot be satisfactorily developed in two or three months. Not much can be expected from a plant that is not made ready for winter until that season is about upon us. In order to secure a good collection of good-sized plants for the winter, one must begin to get ready during the summer. By the term "good-sized," I do not mean large plants in the usual sense of the word, but rather plants of sufficient development to justify one in expecting flowers from them for the holidays. Age is often a more important factor in plant culture than mere size. Young plants seldom bloom while development is taking place most rapidly. They must "get their growth" so to speak, before we can expect them to bend their energies to the production of flowers. Therefore, I advise the owner of a collection of house plants from which she wishes to secure flowers all A ```markdown ``` Nephrolepis Tuberosa Plumosa. --- through the winter season to get the plants under way now. If some of them are large, cut them back and allow them to renew themselves wholly, as to branches, during the months between now and winter. Report now, if necessary, and shift such as seem to need larger pots. If young plants are to be used, procure them at once and keep them going ahead steadily. Do not be so anxious to secure rapid development that you fall into the error of overfeeding. Simply aim to bring about a strong, healthy growth, and as long as a plant seems to be making such growth do not make use of the fertilizers. It is one of the hardest things I know of to make an enthusiastic amateur plant grower satisfied to "let well enough alone." She is constantly wanting to urge her pets on a little faster, and in her efforts to do this she gives them more food than they can digest, and the consequence is a breakdown from overstimulation nine times out of ten. A plant-that does not get as much food as it can make good use of, will give vastly greater satisfaction in the long run, than the plant that gets so much food that it doesn't know what to do with it. Some persons are under the impression that all plants for winter use must be young ones. Such is not the case, however. Year-old plants, as a general thing, are much preferable to the young ones. There are exceptions as in the case of Chinese primroses, Primula obconica and others of a habit similar, in some respects to our annuals; but for the majority of plants adapted to house culture like geraniums, heliotropes, begonias, abutilons, asparagus in variety and carnations, older plants should always be chosen. This summer I start the geraniums which I intend to depend upon for winter flowers a year from the coming winter. These will bloom some this winter if I let them, but I shall hold them in check to a great extent for future service. The person who preaches "young plants for winter flowering" to you does not take into consideration the fact that a plant started this season from a cutting will have but few branches by winter, and a plant that has but few branches cannot give many flowers because ample flowering surface means many branches. Therefore, instead of letting the geraniums you start this summer blossom in the winter, keep pinching them back to produce a sufficient number of branches to give the desired amount of flowering surface. The more branches there are the more flowers you may expect. Cut your ferns apart now and use each division of the roots that has a piece of crown attached as the basis of a new plant. Use leaf mold or turf loam for this class of plants, if obtainable. Hanging baskets should receive attention at once. M --- PAN-AMERICAN POWERS SEND A FRIENDLY NOTE TO THE MEXICAN CHIEFS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—The undersigned, the secretary of state of the United States, the ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary of Brazil, Chile and Argentina, and the envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary of Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala, accredited to the government of the United States of America, acting severally and independently, unanimously send to you the following communication: Inspired by the most sincere spirit of American fraternity and convinced that they rightly interpret the earnest wish of the entire continent, they have met informally at the suggestion of the secretary of state of the United States to consider the Mexican situation so as to ascertain whether their friendly and disinterested help could be successfully employed to re-establish peace and constitutional order in our sister republic. In the heat of the frightful struggle which for so long has steeped in blood the Mexican soil, doubtless all may well have lost sight of the dissolving effects of the strife upon the most vital conditions of the national existence, not only upon the life and liberty of the inhabitants, but on the prestige and security of the country. We cannot doubt, however—no one can doubt—that in the presence of a sympathetic appeal from their brothers of America, recalling to them these disastrous effects, asking them to save their mother land from an abyss—no one can doubt, we repeat—that the patriotism of the men who lead or aid in any way the bloody strife will not remain unmoved; no one can doubt that each and every one of them, measuring in his own conscience his share in the responsibilities of past misfortune, and looking forward to his share in the glory of the pacification and reconstruction of the country, will respond, nobly and resolutely, to this friendly appeal and give their best efforts to opening the way to some saving action. Peace Meeting Suggested. We, the undersigned, believe that if the men directing the armed movements in Mexico—whether political or military chiefs—should agree to meet, either in person or by delegates, far from the sound of cannon, and with no other inspiration save the thought of their afflicted land, there to exchange ideas and to determine the fate of the country—from such action would undoubtedly result the strong and undying agreement requisite to the creation of a provisional government which should adopt the first steps necessary to the constitutional reconstruction of the country—a nd to issue the first and most essential of them all—the immediate call to general elections. An adequate place within the Mexican frontiers which for the purpose might be neutralized, should serve as the seat of the conference, and, in order to bring about a conference of this nature, the undersigned, or any of them, will willingly, upon invitation, act as intermediaries to arrange the time, place and other details of such conference, if this action can in any way aid the Mexican people. Reply in Ten Days Asked. The undersigned expect a reply to this communication within a reasonable time, and consider that such a time would be ten days after the communication is delivered, subject to delay or cause.

Washington. — Simultaneously with the forwarding of the pan-American appeal, word was received from El Paso that six states and one territory of Mexico have declared through their military governors that the revolution is at an end in as far as they are concerned. Carranza and Villa or other forces in arms would be met by resistance should they attempt to enter these precincts of Mexico. Troops in these precincts will be returned to peaceful pursuits. According to the report, the declaration of the military governors was made with a view to preserving the integrity of the autonomy of their communal organizations to enable them to enter peace negotiations without factional allegiance as between Carranza, Villa or Zapata. The governors who thus declared for armed neutrality are of various shades of political affiliation. The territory of Tepic favors Villa; Oaxaca state has maintained independence; Guerrero's present status is unknown; 200 KNOWN DEAD IN TEXAS STORM Do You Know That— BREAK OF 1,000 FEET IN SEA WALL AND 500 GALVESTON HOUSES WRECKED.

Houston, Tex., Aug. 19. — Direct word from the stormswept communities of the southeast Texas coast brought details of the tropical hurricane which put Galveston, Houston, Texas City and a score of other cities and towns in dire peril. With large sections of the district yet unheard from, the death list was more than 200, the heaviest reported loss being from Virginia Point, opposite Galveston. The property damage may exceed $30,000,000 with Galveston sustaining a loss of half that amount. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. Belated reports from isolated communities are coming in which may swell the death list appreciably. Thus far it has been impossible to estimate the toll of death and property loss by shipwreck, although it is known a number of vessels have failed to reach the shore and their wreckage already is strewn along the beach. There was an enormous loss to cotton growers in the storm belt, some estimates stating that 25 per cent of the crop of central Texas was destroyed and placing the loss at "millions of dollars." We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. The oil fields also suffered severely, and it is probable that it will take $500,000 to replace destroyed derricks, recap unroofed tanks and repair damaged machinery. Martial law was proclaimed in Galveston and Texas City and in the latter place a large sanitary corps was organized by the military authorities. That the death list did not approach that of the storm of 1900 was due to two causes—the strength of the Galveston sea wall and the haste with which residents of the coastal plains sought places of refuge, in conformity with the warnings of the government's weather bureau. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction Galveston, as in 1900, bore the brunt of the storm, but this year was bulwarked against the elements. GERMANS TAKE KOVNO Fall of Fortress Opens Road to Troops of Emperor William to Vilna, Warsaw and Petrograd. London, Aug. 19.—Kovno, one of the crucial points in the Russian defensive in the north, was captured by the Germans and the road to the Vilna, Warsaw and Petrograd railway is now open to the troops of Emperor William. With the fortress of Kovno the Germans have taken over 400 guns, and, according to their account, an enormous quantity of war material. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver This, however, is not the most serious part of the matter to the Russians. Besides opening the way to Vilna, which is an open town and from which most of the inhabitants and everything that might be of use to the invaders have been removed, the fall of the fortress takes away the last protection, with the exception of the Russian field army, to the main line railway to the capital and also places the Germans in a position to threaten the flanks of the Russian armies retiring to the Brest-Litovsk line and those operating in southern Courland. Atlanta Mayor Warns Slaton. San Francisco, Aug. 19.—J. G. Woodward, mayor of Atlanta, Ga., who is visiting this city, is on record as declaring that Leo M. Frank, who was lynched Monday night, suffered the just penalty for an unspeakable crime. The Atlanta mayor, at the same time, warned former Governor John M. Slaton not to return to Georgia. Mayor Woodward made his declaration at a banquet of the California State Assessors' Association and their families. 5 Points Cafe UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Chop Suey, Noodles and Japanese and A SHORT ORDERS 2712 WELTON STREET M.

Don't fail to read the advertisements in the Colorado Statesman, if you are looking for bargains, as we carry ads for all the reliable and leading merchants of the city. Admission 25c Attractive and Useful If we leave out the consideration of cotton fabrics, eliminating especially those in novelty weaves, we shall have to concede the honors of the season to taffeta as the favorite fabric of fashion. The taffeta one-piece dress, the taffeta suit and the taffeta coattee (worn with lingerie gowns), appear and reappear everywhere, and no one grows tired of seeing them. Now the earliest models for fall have been launched, made of cloth and taffeta combined, so that we may depend upon a continuance of favor for this attractive fabric. The new suits and frocks are in one color, the silk and wool exactly matched in shade. The suit shown in the picture lays no claim to novelty in design but is distinguished by being strictly in the mode, by its attractiveness and usefulness. For the three tiered skirt may part company with the coatee for afternoon wear and join fortunes with a blouse of chiffon or lace or fine lingerie. It is made with a high waist line, and skirts like it are among the most popular of the ready-to-wear skirts shown by dry goods stores. This skirt is made of knife-plaited cuffa flouces over a short underskirt of light weight percaline. To make them flare a little the edges of the flouces are finished with a corded hem. That is, a small cable cord is run in a hem a quarter of an inch wide. Or they may be bound with a Really Marvelou Really Marvelous Shopping Bags Purses That inseparable companion of womankind, the shopping bag, is designed to make itself more indispensable than ever before. In greater variety of shapes and styles and in higher grade of workmanship, it has appeared all during the summer season, more completely fitted with feminine requirements than heretofore. The bag of today is medium in size, varied as to shape, daintily lined and well made. It has been facetiously called a little "furnished flat" and deserves this enlightening and playful compliment. Seal, pin-seal and morocco lead in point of popularity and also in adaptability to the requirements in an up-date bag, although other leathers find numbers of admirers. Among novelties for midsummer that have been promoted by the universal black-and-white vogue are bags of black patent leather and white kid in which the colors appear in about equal parts and others in which white predominates with trimmings of the brilliant black. All bags are more or less "fitted." That is, the small coin purse and card case, made to match, and the little but excellent mirror are ever present. They "go without saying" as the phrase is, but they are rarely all the ```markdown ``` narrow bias fold of velvet or finished with a small piping. The lowest flounce is set on to the bottom of the short petticoat, the one above it to the skirt, and the top flounce is sewed to the top of the belt so that the skirt may be worn without a girdle. The straight-hanging coatee, as revealed by a glance at the picture, is practical for wear with other frocks. The sleeves are rather full and long, so that they may slip over other sleeves easily. There are many tasteful ways of decorating these little coatees and they are much improved by trimming. Worn with the skirt they make a suit as smart and attractive as anyone could wish. Fads and Fancies. You will find that your silk stockings will not begin to show holes nearly so quickly if you wash them before wearing them at all. Before putting them on your feet rinse them out in soap and water and you will find that they will last twice as long. Always be sure in washing silk stockings that no soap is left in the silk. A jacket of cherry red taffeta and parasol to match is chic when worn with a white costume. s Shopping Bags extras wherewithal the bag is provided. Little pockets in linings provide for a diminutive powder box with a tiny powder puff in it, a small comb, a little flat but efficient clothes brush, and a flat bottle for perfume, toilet water, or a liquid face cream. These exactly fit. The little mirror is usually attached by a bit of ribbon to the frame of the bag, and sometimes the coin purse is anchored by a slender chain. Besides all the built-in fixtures these bags accommodate a fountain pen, a small pencil and a little pair of scissors. On the outside is a flat pocket for the handkerchief and a small flat compartment between the cover and the inner pocket makes a place for letters, memos or cards. In spite of all these convenient fittings they are so artfully disposed that the bag accommodates them easily and there is plenty of room left for carrying little purchases. In the picture three popular bags are shown, also small sketches of novelty bags and purses made of silk or knitted of silk thread and decorated with beads The latter are quite a different order of bags from those made of leather, and require a separate description JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
