Colorado Statesman

THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY GO TO THE COURT HOUSE AND REGISTER Registration Means Business TO VOTE AT THE PRIMARIES SEPT. 12. REGISTER AT THE ELECTION COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE AT THE COURT HOUSE. ```markdown ``` VOL. XX111. Registra Means TO VOTE AT THE PRIMARY THE ELECTION COMMIS THE COUR Electors of the city of Denver and state of Colorado have at last realized the importance of the primary election, and those who did not exercise the franchise owing to fault of their own, or to some irregularity or misunderstanding with the elections commissions' office are given an opportunity to register from now until Friday, September 8, 1916. The experience we have derived from all classes of voters in our city makes it necessary to urge the people to register, and that now, as procrastination is generally attended with some unfavorable result equal to "lost time" which can never be regained. As is clearly understood, the primary is the last of preliminary actions to secure candidates for the Republican ticket in the state, and as our state issues are of paramount importance and of special interest to us, every effort should be made individually and collectively to register every man and woman having the legal right to vote. Waiting for the last day to register is neither a wise plan or the best policy, as one cannot fathom the unforeseen, and in many instances, our time may be occupied, or temporarily departure from the state may preclude us from being participants in the primary which is the stepping stone to the final. Campaign managers of the Republican party ought to lend their material and strong support to insuring every voter's name on the list, and even though it may be at the expense of a little inconvenience or self-sacrifice, it is well worth the action. There has in the past been a lack of interest in primary elections in this state, but now we are glad to note that the average elector is becoming a better political student, and therefore he is enjoying things that will serve his best interests, preserving his rights and giving him the only weapon he can successfully use in opposing all comers. With these facts in mind, the Colorado Statesman hopes every one will take advantage of this privilege, enjoy another of our constitutional liberties proving once more that the power of the franchise makes all men equal under our American Republican institution, and if we measure up to its possession, there can be no doubt as to our being far removed from the ill consequences that before those who are unmindful of their great loss—the result of non-interest in their most valuable asset. ```markdown ``` --- Our advice is REGISTER! REGISTER! and show the real worth of American citizenship. (Advertisement) OLIE THORSON. Candidate for the Nomination of State Auditor on the Republican Ticket. PETER H.

Washington as president, the later being ineligible. She had served two successive terms. Miss Hallie Q.

Among the noteworthy things done during the session was the agreement to lift the $4,000 mortgage on the home of Frederick Douglass at Anacosting, D. C. This will not only make the mansion the headquarters of the women, but preserve it as a memorial to the anti-slavery orator. The women gave $75 toward the $10,000 anti-lynching fund of the N. A. A C. P. NO 2 (Advertisement) THOMAS D. COBBEY. CANDIDATE FOR DISTRICT JTDGE AT REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES SEPT. 12, 1916. To the Republican Voters of Denver:— I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for the office of District Judge to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of J. H. Teller. Four years ago I was a candidate for this office, and according to the official returns received 20,441 votes. At that election Greeley W. Whitford was also a candidate and received 11,454 votes. At the last assembly of the Republican party four persons were designated to be candidates at the primary, Sept. 12th, 1916. This assembly was under the control of and run largely by A. M. Stevenson and others. I was not given my designation by any intentional act of the machine. The votes I received were in spite of its opposition. Whitford, of course, was high man, receiving 294 votes; I came next with 171; Judge Richmond next with 165; Judge Palmer next with 101. I have resided here since 1890; am fairly well known in Denver but never held public office here. All three of the candidates running against me for this nomination have been long in various official positions with well known records. Surely our great Republican party is not confined to these few men for its officers. Can't some one else have a show? Is it any more than fair, after a residence of 25 years and more in your midst, that I ask your favorable consideration for an office for which I believe I am well qualified, as against those who have been long in public office? I would be glad to have your assistance in this struggle and if elected will give every litigant an absolute square deal without fear or favor. Yours respectfully, THOMAS D. COBBEY, 411 Charles Bldg.

GULLINGS Washington, D. C, is one of those true born southern gentlemen who go out of the way to befriend the colored folk their families once owned and lived off—and not in a patronizing, in- different way, but at the sacrifice of considerable trouble, thought, business energy and valuable time. Mr, Rawley recently made a midsummer journey to Boston for the Sister Industrial and Normal School for Colored People at the Rawleys' native place, Winston- Salem, N.C, It seems there are a set of enlightened business men and bank- ers in Winston-Salem who have got together and planted, altogether, their capital to the amount of $65,000 in a school which they consider next in im- portance to Tuskegee and Hampton. The effects have been so immediate and so permanent at once, that these gentlemen see nothing of so much vital concern to the development of the South as the educating and raising In moral worth of thelr black fellow citi- zens, Mr. Rawley, for instance (he says his ancestors changed from Ra- leigh to Rawley to avoid the charge of sinful pride in their aristocratic line- age), is one of those southerners (like the late lamented President Mitchell of the Richmond college), who no long- er permit themselves to say “niggers” but compromise on a curious French- like word which sounds like “Negres,” or “Nigras.” He speaks with positive enthusiasm of the Tenth eavafry troop- ers, and points to the fact that in every national crisis colored men have been the first to shed their blood and have never raised a hand against the flag. This sort of sentiment s more and more representative of “the better classes—the ex-slave-owning families of the South and the new business life, such as Messrs. Rawley of Winston- Salem and Mr. William A. Blair, vice- president and cashier of the Peoples National bank of Winston-Salem rep- resent. The immediate matter in hand is the raising of $12,000, which will se- cure an equal amount from the Old North State's treasury for this splen- «lid colored training school. Mr. Raw- ley’s visit to Boston on this business proved to be ill-timed, on account of the vacation season. But if readers of this paragraph wish to keep in coun- tenance this nobly representative North Carolinian, whose state boasts that it has not been disgraced by a lynching in 20 years a they may send their ten-dollar checks to Cash- ier Blair at his Winston-Salem bank. It really seems as though one of the fur-reuching unlooked-for results of the great war is going to be to better immensely the economie position of the sreat colored element of this republic. ‘The cessation of Immigration and the unsatisfied demands for labor of all kinds, is resulting In a new and tm- portant extension of their opportunt- tles, into which the technical training of such schools as Hampden and ‘Tus- kegee and the Sister Industrial and State Normal school of North Carolina, exactly fit. The movement in this state and city fathered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is progressing by leaps und bounds; petitions to large employ- ers of help from their customers have assured them that they would like to see colored help in department stores and offices. Large industries like our Walworth Manufaeturing company, and the paper mills of Acton, have been putting on colored labor in their yards. Every conquest of old prejudices like this makes the next ‘Telling of her experiences in estab- lishing her school for Negroes at Day- tona, Mrs. Mary MeLeod Bethune writes as follows: “The next thing I turned my mind to was the idle, picturesque boy found ‘on the roadways and atop fences with Juck-knife and stick. “I spoke to the boys and asked them whether they would like to be my lt- tle brothers. I asked them to be my lit- the chapel connected with the school, where I was going to have a party for them. ‘They came, and I served lem- onade, peanuts and ginger snaps. I talked to them. I showed them how the white boys were growing up to be fine men, who were the strength of the nation. I showed them how they, too, could become an honor to the country, Before they went we had organized a club, and as they were leaving I asked them how many were coming the fol- lowing week with clean shoes, washed faces, straight ties and brushed hair, ‘They all came the next week, as fine a lot of boys as you could wish to see. “Boys, I sald, ‘you are a part of this country. ‘This school needs a flug, a flag of our country. Let us put our The Seed of Pity. Yesterday we saw a fair girl release a» common yellow butterfly from the tangle of a spider's web. We suddenly forgot the madness of Verdun, and Douaumont, and Dead Man's hill. Nothing can kill the seed of pity in ‘the heart of a woman. It survives eternally, and because {t lives on man will fight his way up and ‘out of hate and gloom and despair back to sanity and cheer again.—Cleve- jand Press, step easier, and every draft upon the colored race for labor at the North im- proves the estimation in which the southern community holds its inherited colored help. Before the fight at Carrizal, Amert- cans had often heard of the Tenth United States cavalry. ‘To such of us as, from Inclination or employment, keep in touch with the present by re- membering the past which made it, when the word came from the border that a detachment of the ‘Tenth cay- alry had made a glorious fight against a sudden and unexpected attack by a much superior force, the thought came at once, “the Tenth! Why, that is the same regiment that distinguished itself at Las Guasimas, and El Caney, and on the heights of San Juan.” Because the American mind is too prone to ex- alt the volunteer forces—the citizen soldiers—above the professional fight- ing men in the regular ranks, and to give to a patriotic outburst a place ‘above what it calls “a standing army,” the popular imagination seized upon the brilliant exploits of our volunteers in Cuba—notably the Rough Riders— as better representing the national spirit. | But in the Army Reports, that place where justice 1s done all men who go out to battle for their country, the truth about the Tenth in the Spanish war 1s embalmed. Maj. Frank Keck, who has seen much service, told the story somewhat in detail in the Sun- day Globe-Democrat. It is the most Interesting story, because it goes far back of the Spanish war to find the origins of that morale and discipline, and that self-sacrficing courage, which made the Tenth United States cavalry what it was in Cuba, later in the Phil- ippines, and what tt 1s now in Mexico. Linking the present with a long past, far-flung over many fields, Major Keck has shown us how the regular soldier of the United States army can be de- yeloped into, or, rather, will develop himself into, a fighting unit not to be supassed in. war. Much of the story is in the history of the Indian wars which for years followed the close of the war between the states; when the most warlike tribes, under the leader- ship of such great chiefs as Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Cochise and Geron- imo, waged strong warfare aguinst the paleface then beginning a great inva- sion of the buffalo lands. It was a war of swooping attacks, sudden for- ays, long and hard rides, sleepless and waterless days and nights, with now and then such a pitched battle as at the Rosebud. A war for cavalrymen— and the Fighting Tenth was in it and of it all. j For that gallant regiment was organ- ized, the year following the close of the ‘Civil war, made up of colored troops who had fought in the federal army. ‘Those who were in it are not in it now. They have dled the death swift or slow, or fallen out of the ranks as outworn troopers.

SOME PROGRESS MADE TOWARD SETTLEMENT OF DIFFER- ENCES, SAYS HOLDEN. RAIL UNIONS INSIST ROADS RE- PLY WITHIN FORTY-EIGHT HOURS OR FACE STRIKE. ‘Western Newspaper Union News Service. | Washington, Aug. 24.—Negotiations between President Wilson and the ‘railroad executives concerning a set- ‘tlement of the wage controversy ‘threatening to plunge the country into @ general strike were enlivened last ‘night by the receipt at the White House of what is virtually an ultima- tum from the union leaders. Brother- hood Presidents Garretson, Lee, Car- ter and Stone sent word to Mr, Wil- son that they must have the answer of the railroads within the next forty- eight hours, Unless a favorable re- ply be forthcoming from the carriers by Friday night, they said, it will be difficult to restrain the 649 district chairmen from precipitating the strike. President Wilson had agreed to allow the railway chiefs “two or three days longer” in which to pre pare their formal reply to his demands for the establishment of the eight: hour day, and a commission inyesti- gation of overtime payment. The union ultimatum was conveyed to President Wilson informally and oral ly by a friendly intermediary and reached the White House just before Hale Holden, president of the Burling ton; R. S. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific, and Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, ar- rived for another conference with Mr. ‘Wilson. ‘The three executives, who conferred with the President on the question of working out ap amicable agreement, went back to learn what Mr. Wilson had to say regarding definite assur- ances that the railroads would be given an advance in freight rates. The President reiterated that he would do everything possible to aid the roads in this endeavor if such in- crease in their revenues should be found necessary to reimburse them for the higher wages involved in the change to the eight-hour day. Mr. Wilson informed the executives that he had made arrangements with the administration leaders in Congress for the immediate passage of the bill enlarging and reorganizing the Inter- state Commerce Commission, as de sired by the railroads.

BOLDEN, Mgr. _ 926 19th St. Denver Western Newspaper Union Nows Service. Denver—Colorado mines, during the first six months of this year, gave employment to 15,000 men, an in- crease of 50 per cent over the num- Ler of men employed in the same period in 1915. Fatal accidents in the mines, mills and smelters of the state have de creased 40 per cent in the first six months of this year over a similar period in 1915, according to statistice compiled by M. B. Tomblin, deputy state mining commissioner. ‘With a 50 per cent increase of the number of men employed over last year, the number of fatalities haz dropped. The decrease is attributed to more rigid supervision of the op erating plants by the state bureau, to the operation of the industrial com: mission and compensation insurance laws which have served to direct at tention to a greater degree to safety rules and appliances, and to prohi bition. During the first six months of the year 15,000 men were employed in the mines of Colorado, The number of fatal accidents reported was twenty: six. Last year, with 10,000 men em- ployed, twenty-eight fata] accidents occurred, Records for the bureau of mines department show that fatal accidents have been decreasing steadily. Formerly an average of ninety-two men yearly were kille This year it is believed the year's record will show not more than half that many deaths, Accidents occur more frequently in the spring, when frost in the ground which is just melting causes rock slides. For this reason the department hopes the deaths reported in the secon half of the year will be less, GO. H. SHIRLEY, Pres. J. 0. HAMPSON, Vice Pree PAUL J.

COLORED REPUBLICANS AND REPRESENTATION. The ties which have cemented the colored race to the Republican party have renewed themselves, making us one and inseparable, and as another opportunity is afforded to demonstrate our loyalty, it necessarily follows that in the management of the Republican campaign representative and prominent positions should be given us, insuring the party against all uncertainties and guaranteeing once more the stability of the race to a cause that stands for permanent benefit for all American people. CONDITIONS THAT CONFRONT US. We have often contended that the conditions that confront us as a people must be accepted and faced, with a well-settled idea that the troubles we meet and the hardships we bare are the natural results of the times and circumstances through which we are passing, and that they can be removed only as we improve our own capacity for control, and by our higher attainments, overcome the causes out of which all of our difficulties have grown. We are too much given to looking to others for the removal of these inequalities of life which we so often complain, although with all of our supplications it is very evident that our burdens increase rather than diminish, unless we accept them as imposed, and start to make the best of them or to overcome them by our own patient energies and such reasonable improvement as we feel will fully meet the causes. To feel that we are entitled to every right enjoyed by any citizen of the United States is justifiable and proper, but to expect to obtain and rest secure in the enjoyment of those rights without undergoing a slow process of self-vindication is to become altogether thoughtless and impracticable. This is where many of our brightest minded men go wrong. The rights supposed to be guaranteed to us by the constitution of the land and its several amendments are continually abridged, denied or obviated, and no power in the land is successfully invoked to defend us from the perils with which we are thereby beset. Then shall we indignantly clamor for defenders that never defend, or shall we begin to realize that all these impositions are strength and genius? The latter course is to be the inevitable one. The Negro of this country, however, it may seem, must expect his rights to remain in jeopardy until he meets prejudice with wealth and culture instead of poverty and indignation. He must expect his legal and equitable rights to be assailed and sacrificed until he can meet his assailants with unimpeachable judgment and compact force against which unjust laws cannot stand. But to attain these powers of self-sustenance he must acquire and run his own farms, his own stores, his own banks and commercial houses, his own business systems and his own places of amusement—with them will come ability and that concrete form which compels recognition in all ranks of American life. There seems no escape from the conclusion that industrialism and wealth are to become the only sure foundation and bulwark of our peace and progress. REAL ESTATE AGENTS TEST MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. If our real estate agents and others who were responsible for an intended bill to become an ordinance for regulating the sale of property to Negroes, would only look up the records of our city and county and discover for themselves the part played by the Negro members of this community ever since Denver came in for recognition as a city, they would hang their heads in shame and silence for the INGRATITUDE they are evincing and for the unnecessary TEST they are presenting to our Mayor and Council, who are endeavouring to make Denver a habitation of superior attractions, a business center of especial interest, representing and reflecting the best that can be produced from our American ideals, and setting a standard for other cities and towns, not only of our state, but our country, that will give Denver a prestige in the nation never to be effaced, but to be handed down to generations as one of the heirlooms or legacies of a FREE AND UNITED REPUBLIC. Having spent nearly two-thirds of our three-score years of existence, in Colorado, we are quite familiar with its growth, and when we reflect on the time when a real estate agent was only too glad to sell to a black-face, property adjacent to his residence as well as lots in the Park Hill and other (now called) exclusive residence districts, we seriously are impressed as to the nominal value placed upon the foundation of our American institution by some of our countrymen in this day and time. Are we going to copy the bad traits and the ill actions of a St. Louis or any other township that is employing SEGREGATION—the hookworm of a few American greed-of-gain characters, to destroy the bond of unity that is sacred to the heart of every American, black and white? Are we to be the victims of that which in turn must result in disunion, disloyalty, mistrust and unaffairness created by the villainous and treacherous action of a few business men whose god is their MONEY and whose highest ambition is the entertainment of RACIAL PREJUDICE, for the purpose of creating internal dissensions among the inhabitants of this country? No! They will not, they must not and cannot be allowed to carry out their evil devices; and believing as we do in giving the present administration a fair and impartial trial, a free and uninterrupted course of action to successfully carry out their program for the improvement of Denver and the all-round betterment of its people, we hope no spider's web will be weaved around them so strongly as to make escape from its meshes impossible, and the integrity of Mayor Robert W. Speer, his cabinet and our city councillors may never yield to the subtle influences of un-American real estate men and others, whose vague conception of what constitutes the STALWART AMERICAN is the origin of all such intended action of segregation. We cannot blame ALL for the actions of a FEW, but should this bill be presented to the Council at any other meeting, we will prove to our city fathers that not only is this a grievance, but it will work great hardships on even those who possess properties already where whites are in the neighborhood. If such demands for segregated property ownership be allowed or be permitted to be in our city ordinances, then residence under an absolute or despotic government may be a blessing to Negro development, and then we can hasten the days of a black king on a black land, where the black laws will be uniform and there will be no compunction of spirit, as there will be the absence of competition in the market of races. Says the Republican nominee for President, Hon. Charles E. Hughes; "I desire to see a reinforcement of the American sentiment in that consciousness of unity which displaces all possibility of division. We must have that inner feeling of intense loyalty." Would this expression find an echo in the Mayor and Council of Denver? If so, then let it be reechoed by every other loyal white American and let the originators of such schemes for SEGREGATION be consigned to abyssal depths from whence there is no return. Mary E. GRACE ELLEN SHOE SMITH Candidate for Republican Nomination for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The office of Superintendent of Public Instruction is of the greatest interest to every home in the state because it affects the education of the boys and girls. For this reason every voter of the state should consider most carefully the qualifications of one who is a candidate for this office. Mrs. Grace Ellen Shoe Smith, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Superintendent of Public Instruction at the primaries on September 12, is a teacher at the North Denver High School. Mrs. Smith is a university graduate, having taken the classical course at Antioch College from which she received the degree of A. B. She continued her study at the University of Denver and was graduated with the degree of M. A. Mrs. Smith has been actively engaged in educational work in Colorado for twenty years. She has been a teacher in the grades, a high school teacher, principal of the high school at Longmont, and a normal institute instructor. As a teacher in the state normal institutes for eight years she has been a close student of rural school problems, and has lectured to the teachers of more than half the counties of the state. Mrs. Smith has held many positions requiring educational and executive ability. She has been president of the State Teachers' Association, of the Denver Teachers' Club, of the College and High School Section of the State Association, and chairman of the educational committee of the State Federation of Woman's Clubs, and has held many other important positions. Mrs. Smith has been a loyal worker for the Republican party for a number of years, and readers of the COLORADO STATESMAN will remember her when as Miss Shoe she spoke in a number of our halls and churches. She submits to the voters of the state a record of her party loyalty and service, and of her experience and training for this most important office. SAMUEL D.

On last Sunday morning the pastor began the promised series of sermons from the subject, "Christian Science and the Atonement," before a large and interested audience. The discussion went straight to the heart of the subject, and left absolutely no argument against his contention that Mrs. Eddy's book, Science and Health is directly opposed to the word of God. The great congregation was visibly moved by the force of the truth. The same discussion will continue next Sunday morning. At the evening service the fifth in the series of illustrated sermons, "From Creation to the Cross," was given. The auditorium was again filled with an appreciative congregation. That these services are helpful is manifested by the intense interest. Next Sunday evening the sixth sermon will present the scenes which make up the crucifixion. No one should miss this service.

W. W," of the Denver Post, and our popular citizen J. Nash Walker of the African Colonization Society, the result of which was given publication in the Denver Post issue of Sunday 13, it is clearly shown that Mr. Walker is satisfied that his scheme is not wholly accepted, and as he says—"therein the trouble lies." But going farther on in the article something presents itself which seems to be the thing of greater importance THE BETTERMENT OF NEGRO CONDITION IN AMERICA. Certain phases of the article would tend to arouse the ire and strengthen the opposition to the "Colonization Scheme," some claim while others held that Mr. Walker has made a clean-cut breast of the Negro's unfortunate treatment and suffering by his white opponent in power, and if it takes a "back to Africa movement" alike "back to Palestine" to bring about a change or cause the desired effect then say they, give it atrial. It is suggested by others that a mass meeting be held and persons of both sides invited to hear what practical good effect an immigration would have on those intending to go and those who elect to remain.

The removal of the Cammel & Company, Undertakers and Embalmers, to their new and spacious quarters, 2418 Welton street, where they have every modern convenience to serve the wants of the bereaved, proves that there is more ambition among our young business men today than ever before in Denver. This young company, virtually in its infancy, started amid adversities, but by prompt attention, courteous treatment, right prices, and bearing in mind always, that progress was the watchword of all existence, are today able to be put in a class by themselves. Having the best equipped funeral parlors for Negroes in the West. Their Receiving Parlors are large, well lighted and neatly furnished; Chapel strictly up to date, with a Family Room set aside, in order that the family might be alone during the services. A Rest Room upstairs for the ladies; a Special Vault and Cooling Room for the preservation of bodies for an unlimited period of time, which will eliminate the anxiety of family and friends as to whether the deceased can be kept. To a certain class of thinkers, this rising ambition may appear to be a sign of increasing materiality and selfishness, but life is becoming more complex and the demands upon each individual life are increasing to such an extent, that it becomes necessary to accomplish far more, in order to supply the demands, and in order to accomplish more, there must be a greater ambition, likened to the Camel and Company's. Great achievements, higher attainments, remarkable discoveries and extraordinary possibilities are becoming more numerous and more evident, and the public mind is constantly being impressed with these things, because when we are constantly in the presence of the wonderful and are told time and again that all can achieve the wonderful ambition soon will be fired up and become a tremendous power to enhance one toward a similar progress as the CAMEL COMPANY has made. Modern education and scientific training is awakening more and more of the greatness inherent in us all, BUY GOODS MADE IN COLORADO SURE SKIN SOAP THE NATIONAL WASH.

(Communicated.) and as this greater power is welling up from within, the desire to realize, achieve and attain the greater, will necessarily become stronger and stronger, which means a decided increase in the force of ambition. Those who look upon ambition and competition as obstacles to the welfare of their business, should remember that nothing can be an obstacle that tends to call forth greater powers, envolve better methods and inspire more effective efforts. When you apply yourself effectively, you will constantly gain ground as Cammel and Company has done. No matter, how many competitors you may have, there is no greater satisfaction than that of moving steadily forward. The greatest enemy of our race today is the tendency to live, think, and act below the mark of efficiency, but this enemy, ambition will largely remove, as the increase of ambition will not only produce a stronger desire for efficiency, but will tend to eliminate every wrong mood, which stands in the way of the realization of that ambition. Hence, this progress of the Cammel and Company is another illustration of the last becoming first and the rejected Stone becoming the Chief Stone of the Corner.

CAMPBELL Malloy Keep Weeds Out of the Lawn KEEPING WEEDS OUT OF LAWN If one gets a good set of grass in the beginning and keeps the ground fertilized by a coating of stable manure or commercial fertilizer every spring there will be little trouble with weeds if the lawn is kept properly mowed. Some claim that there are weeds that cannot be clipped with the lawn mower. We have found this complaint true where the revolving mower was used, for it will bend and not cut wiry stems, as of crab grass and some other troublesome plants. The only way of getting these is by clipping off with a mower that has a sickle similar to a hay mower. The guards of these machines raise up the stems and the sickle cuts them off without mashing down or pulling. There is no need of using the hook so much if one is careful when getting a mower, to get one that cuts ahead of the wheels, and as wide as the extreme distance apart of the outside of the wheels. This will not leave the strip along the borders that is mashed down by the wheels. Moles do a great deal of damage, but may be run out by frequent rolling, or may be trapped. These may be destroyed by pouring into the ant hills a tablespoonful of carbon bisulphid, stopping the hole so the fumes are confined. ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT OF FLOWERS IN HOME By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. Dark corners of a room need lighting up, and light-colored, brilliant flowers never look so well as when standing out against a half light. Yellow is an exquisite bit of color for such a corner. Let all the flowers and foliage for home decoration be fresh, and however simple their form, they are lovely, not only as graceful objects but as suggestive of something more beautiful still. Avoid fantastic colored or shaped vases. The simple beauty of the flowers is lost in such a holder. Clear glass and the soft greens of Bohemian make are most useful receptacles. Let the lines of the vase or bowls be simple and flowing and however cheap the substance of which the vase is made we shall not err. Strive to produce the effect of the flower when growing, and the error of cutting off the lovely gray-green stalks of daffodils and cramming them into a flat dish, or putting a handful of violets in a tube specimen glass will be impossible. There are many little contrivances nowadays that help wonderfully in the attractive arrangement of flowers. The THE GARDEN Chrysanthemums and Palms Bloom Profusely in a Hothouse. little Japanese frogs with holes in their backs that sit flat in the bottom of a bowl and hold out primly and gracefully a few precious stalks of bloom are to be bead for a few cents and are well worth all they cost. With such an arrangement three or four daffodils with their golden glow can bring a bit of sunshine into a dreary room and add a beauty that an armful of exquisite roses crammed into an ugly vase could never give. Color harmony in flower arrangement should be well thought out, not only with regard to the relative position of one flower with another, but also with the room in which the vase is to have place. Colors that blend out of doors, because of the gradations in shade caused by atmospheric effects and the relieving sprays of green, would produce discord when massed in a room, but inharmonious effects can be avoided by observing a few general rules. Now that flowers can be secured the year round, the problem having been solved by the gardeners, after years of probing, some sort of bloom should have daily place in the house. The intimate association with such loveliness gladdens the heart and quickens the senses and inspires all that is best within us. BIRD OF PARADISE A unique specimen is the bird of paradise.

Army of Nearly a Million Men Toils In Coal Mines of the United States An army of nearly one million men tols beneath the ground to produce the coal which is consumed in the United States or is sent abroad from this country. Figures compiled by Uncle Sam show that 734,008 men were employed in the coal-mining industry in the United States in 1915 for an average of 209 days. Of the total output, 442,624,426 short tons, valued at $502,037,688, were bituminous coal and lignite, and 88,995,061 tons, valued at $184.653,498, were Pennsylvania anthracite. Pennsylvania, with an output of 157,955,137 tons of bituminous coal and 88,995,061 short tons of anthracite, ranks first among the coal-producing states. West Virginia, with a production of 77,184,069 tons; Illinois, with 58,829,576 tons; Ohio, with 22,434,691 tons, and Kentucky, with 21,361,674 tons, follow in the order of production. Thirty states and the territory of Alaska contributed to the total, of which number 13 states and Alaska had increased production, and 17 had decreased production, compared with 1914. PLAN STRATEGIC ROAD Uncle Sam's Aid to Make Big Project Possible. Highway Running Parallel With Mexican Border Through Four States May Soon Be Built. By appropriating $75,000,000 for the construction of good roads in connection with the various states, Uncle Sam has made possible the construction of strategic highways which are regarded as of very great importance in connection with plans for national defense in the event of invasion by a foreign foe. It is believed that the first of these highways to be built will be one running parallel with the boundary between the United States and Mexico. This road would traverse the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. The cost of construction of these jointly built highways is to be shared 50 per cent by the federal government and 50 per cent by the states; the federal money being divided proportionately to area, population and post road mileage. The largest amount allotted to any state is to Texas, by reason of its large area. The other three states mentioned also have a very large allowance. "Therefore it would be possible to secure out of the appropriations for this year and 1917 over a million and a half of federal moneys, which together with the contributions of the states would make over three million dollars available for construction of the Mexican frontier highways," says Chairman George C. Diehl of the American Automobile association goodroads board. "While it is not possible to give an exact estimate of the cost of construction per mile, yet it is altogether likely that the first two appropriations by the national government would be sufficient to entirely complete this highway, which would be useful not only from military and commercial standpoints, but would attract road travelers from all over the country, particularly those driving to or from points in southern California." NO PROSPECT OF PRICES OF MEAT BEING LOWERED One Reason, Uncle Sam Says, Is That Production Has Failed to Keep Pace With Population's Growth. Uncle Sam believes that high meat prices probably will continue in the United States indefinitely. This is the conclusion of the department of agriculture as set forth in an exhaustive report on the situation. High meat prices prevail throughout the world. One reason for this is the fact that production has failed to keep pace with the increase in population. Other contributory causes given are the increased cost of production and diminished purchasing power of the money unit. An interesting feature of the situation in the United States is that while the production of meat is on the increase it is not yet proportionate to the growth of population. While holding out little or no hope for a lowering of meat prices in the near future, the report says that there probably will be a gradual growth and expansion in the world's production of beef, mutton and pork which may or may not equal the rate of increase of the meat-eating population. The available supply of meat in this country would be much greater, the report states, were it not for the enormous losses caused by disease and exposure. In the last 16 years it is estimated that about 1,475,000 cattle have died annually from disease and approximately 1,500,000 from exposure. In 1914 at least 7,000,000 hogs died of cholera. The report points out that the United States still is not only the greatest meat-eating nation, but the greatest producer. Approximately twice as much is consumed as in Germany before the war, and the total normal consumption in Russia, Great Britain and France is less than in Germany. The per capita consumption in the United States also is far the greatest except in Australia and New Zealand. South Dakota Produces Gold. The value of the gold, silver and lead produced in South Dakota in 1915 amounted to $7,507,782, compared with $7,431,343 in 1914, as reported by the United States geological survey. The gold output in 1915 was valued at $7,406,305. LAKE OF MOLTEN LAVA One of Features of New National Park in Hawaii. Three Great Active Volcanoes Also Are Embraced Within Boundaries of Public Playground. If you would like to disport yourself about the rim of a belching volcano or camp at the side of a lake of fire, Uncle Sam has provided the opportunity. The Hawaiian national park, which has just been created by act of congress, and which is the first national playground to be established outside the continental boundaries of the United States, embraces three celebrated Hawaiian volcanoes—Kilauea, Mauna Loa and Hakeakala. These volcanoes, while the most active in the world, are also guaranteed to be the most harmless. "The Hawaiian volcanoes," writes T. A. Jaggar, director of the Hawaiian volcano observatory, "are truly a national asset, wholly the most continuously, variously and harmlessly active volcanoes on earth. Kilauea crater has been nearly continuously active with a lake or lakes of molten lava for a century. Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano and mountain mass in the world, with eruptions about once a decade, and has poured out more lava during the last century than any other volcano on the globe. Haleakala is a mountain mass ten thousand feet high with a tremendous crater rift in its summit eight miles in diameter and three thousand feet deep, with many high lava cones built up inside the crater. It is probably the largest of all known craters among volcanoes that are technically known as active. Haleakala erupted less than two hundred years ago. The crater at sunrise is the grandest volcanic spectacle on earth." The lava lake at Kilauea is the main feature of the new national park. It draws visitors from all over the world. It is a lake of fire a thousand feet long splashing on its banks with a noise like waves of the sea, while great fountains boil through it 50 feet high, sending quantities of glowing spray over the shore. Gases hiss and rumble and blue flames play through crevasses. There have been occasional crises, Mr. Jaggar recently testified before the house committee on the public lands, "when the active crater was upheaved into a hill and thereafter collapsed into a deep pit with marvelously spectacular avalanches and fiery grottoes, cascades, whirlpools and rapids of glowing melt were common." Mauna Loa is capped with perpetual snow. It is 13,675 feet high. Around the base of these vast volcanoes are gorgeous tropical forests, Sandalwood, elsewhere extinct, grows there luxuriantly. There are mahogany groves, forests of tree ferns 40 feet high, and magnificent tropical jungles, alternating with green meadows. There are also tracts of desert and wonderful lava caves. OUTPUT JUMPS 50 PER CENT Great Increase Shown in Value of Production of the Electrical-Machinery Industry. The total value of the products of the electrical-machinery industry in the United States increased practically 50 per cent between 1909 and 1914, according to Uncle Sam. A summary of the industry issued by the bureau of the census shows that the products in 1909 were valued at $240,037,479, while in 1914 they had increased to $359,412,676. The total number of establishments decreased by 30 in the five-year period, from 1,151 to 1,121; but, eliminating those which make electrical machinery as a subsidiary product, the total number engaged primarily in this industry increased by 21. Of the 1,121 establishments reported for 1914, 234 were located in New York 151 in Illinois, 129 in Ohio, 114 in Pennsylvania, 100 in Massachusetts, 83 in New Jersey, 46 in Connecticut, 46 in Indiana, 30 in California, 19 in Missouri, 18 in Minnesota, 17 in Rhode Island, 8 in Colorado, 7 in Maryland, 6 in New Hampshire, 5 in Iowa, 4 each in Delaware, North Carolina, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia, 3 in Kentucky, 2 each in District of Columbia, Louisiana, Nebraska and Vermont, and 1 each in Alabama, Kansas, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. CHIEF LIEUTENANT OF THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE Carl Vrooman BANKS MAKE BIG GAIN BANKS MAKE BIG GAIN Number of Depositors Nearly Doubled in Six Years. Reports Show That More Than 14,000,000 Persons Have Money in National Institutions. The number of depositors in national banks of the country has increased more than 86 per cent since 1910, according to Uncle Sam's figures. A recent report of the comptroller of the treasury showed that there were at that time 14,288,059 national bank depositors in the country. Pennsylvania led all the states in the number of depositors, reporting 2,021,878 as against 762,738 in 1910. New York showed the next largest number, 1,199,471. Illinois came third with 847,637 national bank depositors, an increase since 1910 of 376,910. Ohio ranked fourth in the number of national bank depositors with 751,760, an increase of 321,076 since 1910. Texas was next with 658,774, an increase of 201,161. California followed with 529,290, an increase of 294,799. The largest actual increase by geographical divisions was shown in the middle Western states, which give an increase of 1,773,370 depositors, although the southern states lead in the largest percentage of increases. The number of depositors in the southern states June 30,1910, was 1,272,746. On May 1, 1916, this had been increased to 2,814,508, the increase being 1,541,762, or 121 per cent. The Pacific states increased 592,689, or 117 per cent. The New England states showed an increase of 388,923 or 84 per cent. The western states increased 668,517, or 82 per cent, and the eastern states showed an increase of 1,629,651 depositors, or 68 per cent. BUILDING UP NEW MARKETS Uncle Sam Sends Expert to South America to Investigate Field for Construction Material. In furtherance of plans to extend the South American trade of the United States along various lines, Uncle Sam has begun a special investigation of the South American markets for construction materials and machinery. William W. Ewing, who has had many years' experience in engineering and construction work, partly in foreign countries, has been selected to make the investigation and he will prepare a complete report for the benefit of American business men. In investigating construction materials, attention will be given to markets for products used in building work, heavy engineering construction, and port and road projects, while the construction machinery on which information is desired includes devices, equipment and apparatus usually employed in such work. This is one of 20 important investigations to be conducted this year by the bureau in the interest of American foreign trade. TEXTILE MILLS' OUTPUT BIG Value of Cotton Goods Manufactured in United States in 1914 Reached Great Total of $701,152,268. The value of cotton goods manufactured in the United States reached the great total of $701,152,268 in 1914, according to Uncle Sam. This was an increase of 11.6 per cent as compared with the output in 1909. The quantity of raw cotton consumed in the three branches of this industry in 1914 was 2,523,500,887 pounds, as compared with 2,335,344,900 pounds in 1909, the increase being 8.1 per cent. The cost of cotton consumed during the later year was $330,315,223, representing an increase of 20.2 per cent over the cost for the earlier year, $274,724,210. The proportion which the quantity of foreign cotton formed of the total was 3.6 per cent in 1914 and 3.3 per cent in 1909. BUMPER CROP OF FARM BULLETINS Department of Agriculture Issues 5,000 Miles of Documents in Year. NOW BIG FEATURE OF WORK Every Effort Is Made to Give People the Benefit of Information Gathered by Uncle Sam's Scientists. By CARL VROOMAN, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. If the annual report of the division of publications of the United States department of agriculture were to read something like this—"Two thousand miles of farmers' bulletins; 5,000 miles of documents, all kinds," etc.—it would be less precise, perhaps, but more appealing to the imagination. "It is hard for the mind to get the idea when we say that the department printed 14,975,000 copies of farmers' bulletins last year, but it means something to say that the farmers' bulletins printed last year, if laid end to end, would make a string stretching from the Atlantic to the Rocky mountains. Similarly, "36,075,561 documents of all kinds" is not at all exciting, but when we say that if all the publications issued by the department of agriculture last year were laid end to end they would reach from New York to Moscow, we touch the springs of the imagination and suggest something of the magnitude of the publishing work of the department. Such figures graphically set forth the nature of the effort which the department is now making to put before the people information bearing upon the betterment of agriculture and of rural life as a whole. They do not, however, suggest anything approximating the amount of work involved, of painstaking research and long continued experiment that went into the making of the 77 new farmers' bulletins as well as over 700 other publications, which, with reprints, went to swell the grand aggregate of department publications to over 36,000,000 copies. This work of getting the facts before the people, formerly one of the minor activities of the department, is rapidly coming to be a big feature of its work. There was a time when the department seemed to think that its work was done when it run down and nailed the fact and filed it away on a shelf or in a pigeon hole, but those days are past. Now every effort is being made to popularize the information gathered by the department scientists. Within the past three years the formal publications of the department have been supplemented by the establishment of an office of information, which prints a weekly newspaper for the information of the press of the country and prepares and sends out to the weekly and daily press timely articles embodying facts brought out in the research work of the department, or bearing on its general activities. During the past year this office sent out to the press over 1,500 articles. It is estimated that more than 5,000 columns of this matter is printed every year in the agricultural weeklies alone, while the aggregate of such material used by the daily press and by the county weeklies probably runs into hundreds of thousands of columns. Indications are that the near future will see still further expansion in this work of getting the facts to the people who need them. The rapid spread of county agent work under the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill has done much to stimulate the demand for department publications, and efforts which are now being made still further to increase the usefulness of the farmers' bulletin series by simplifying and making them more practical are expected to have a marked bearing in the same direction. SEND YOUR WASH BY MAIL! Uncle Sam Has Just Arranged for Establishment of Parcel Post Service Between U. S. and China. Who says Uncle Sam is doing nothing to reduce the high cost of living? He has just completed arrangements for the establishment of a parcel post service between the United States and China. Now you can send your packages to China, if they do not weigh more than 11 pounds, for 12 cents a pound. The agreement which makes possible the parcel post service between the Orient and this nation, was entered into following three years of negotiations. Heretofore packages of merchandise other than bona fide trade samples not exceeding 12 ounces in weight, could not be sent by mail from this country to China, except to a few places that could be reached through Japanese or other foreign post offices in China. Shipping Hit by War Arrivals of ships at Rotterdam between January 1, 1916, and June 24, 1916, as reported by American Commercial Attache Erwin W. Thompson, numbered 1,382, compared with 4,828 in the corresponding period of 1913. The big decrease is due to the war. BUILDING ROAD T0 “OPEN UP ALASKA” Uncle Sam’s Engineers Hard at Work on Big Job in the Far North. WILL DEVELOP VAST RICHES Steel Highway Will Provide Access to PeaNee theachea Witches ficulty. Sam’s engineers are busily engaged in the big Job of building the railroad that is to “open up Alaska.” ‘The government's Alaskan railroad will not, as has been sometimes sup- posed, take one “the farthest north by rail.” In Alaska now, running from Nome to Shelton, there is a little nar- row-gauge line, which penetrates a good deal farther north than Fair- banks; and from Fairbanks another narrow-gauge line goes 46 miles north into the Chatanika mining district. ‘The old Russian line from Petrograd to Archangel runs farther north than the Nome-Shelton line, and the new Russian road from Petrograd to Eka- terina beats the America’s farthest- north-by-rail stili more. Nor, as an engineering proposition, will the Alaskan railroad set new rec- ords. Numerous pieces of railway con- struction in the United States, Can- ada and South America, will continue to rate as much more noteworthy. Still it is “some job,” with peculiar and interesting problems. Along Tur- nagain Arm, right at sea level, the shores are precipitous, For miles the roadbed has to be blasted out of solid rock. The northerly descent into Fair- banks will follow Nenana river, through a very narrow and precipitous canyon, Here amazing difficulties were encountered in the railway sur- vey. Engineers and surveying parties were compelled to swim the icy waters of the glacial streams many times and hang by ropes over high preci- pices. Will “Open Up Alaska.” ‘The really big thing is the fact that the railroad will “open up Alaska;” and there are no words to exaggerate the bigness of Alaska and its promise of wealth and sustenance for the peo- ple of the United States. From Seward, which is to be the winter port and southern terminus of the line, the old Alaskan Northern railroad crosses the Kenai peninsula to Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet. The Alaskan Northern has fallen into dis- use and bad repair. It has been pur- chased by the government and is be- ing put in first-class condition. This will result in a large development of gold quartz and copper mining in the Kenai mountains within a few miles of the coast. At the upper end of Knik Arm, a b¥anch will run up the Matanushka river 38 miles to the famous Mata- nushka coal fields. ‘This branch, it 18 thought, will be open within a year. Here lies an apparently inexhaustible field of subbituminous coal, the equal of West Virginia steaming coal and will provide cheap fuel to the United States navy, to the industries of south- ern Alaska and the entire Pacific coast. To the north, the road will open the Nenana coal fields to consumption in Fairbanks, Farms to Follow Road. ‘The lower Susitna, too, runs through an alluvial valley, rich in agricultural possibilities. Here the railroad even- tually will pass a succession of farms which will supply grain, vegetables and meat staples for the mining in- dustry. In the region of the summit or di- vide between the watersheds of the Yukon river and the gulf of Alaska, that is to say, in the mountain section —the railroad will make possible de- velopment of low-grade quartz gold lodes which are similar to lodes which have proved enormously productive and profitable in the United States, It is a question wholly of costs of transportation and smelting. With the opening of the railroad both to the gold and coal fields, smelting facili- ties are expected'to be quickly pro- vided. Large interests are already planning to locate smelters on Prince Willian sound, within convenient rail- and-water access of ores and coal. Fifty miles west of the Nenana, down which the railroad will pass, are the headwaters of the Kantishna min- ing district, which is now taking out only $50,000 of gold a year, but in which recent explorations have indi- cated big possibilities of quartz min- ing.

However, let any plece of railroad construction be as picturesque as may be, involving trestles at dizzy heights and mountain-climbing loops that are well-nigh spiral, and Edes says, “Umph! It'll take so many cubic yards of excavation and so many mil- Hons of dollars, and that’s all there is to it.” Edes has the complete philos- ophy of the active man whose retro- spect includes many an achievement accomplished and whose enthusiasms, therefore, are somewhat dampened. Edes doesn’t bubble over at ull with the poetry of the “Alaskan Job;” he Just works. LAGS IN VITAL STATISTICS United States Far Behind More Pro- Gressive Foreign Countries in Sys- tem of Preserving Records. ‘The United States has lagged far be- hind the more progressive foreign coun- tries in the matter of maintaining re- liable records of births, deaths and sickness, says Uncle Sam, However, there has been in recent years a marked increase in the interest taken by state and municipal authorities in the recording of vital statistics. ‘The greatest difficulty in obtaining any- thing like a uniform system has been the fact that under the constitution the registration of vital records must be left to the individual state govern- ments. “The difficulty in obtaining proper registration of vital statistics is not in most cases due soemuch to absolute lack of legtslative provision for regis- tration as to the inadequacy of the laws or the failure to enforce them,” says a bulletin of the bureau of the census, “Much progress, however, has been made in recent years. In 1900 no two states employed uniform blanks for recording either deaths or births; but at present what is known as the standard death certificate has been adopted or approved by states repre- senting nearly 93 per cent, and the standard birth certificate by states rep- resenting approximately 85 per cent, of the total population of the country. “Those who view with apprehension the decline in the American birth rate may take comfort from the fact that the births in this country are still far in excess of the deaths. The excess is probably as great as 50 per cent, and may be even more, but its not pos- sible yet to estimate it with any de- gree of precision, ‘The population of the United States would, therefore, show @ healthy increase from decade to decade, if the present birth and death rates were to remain substantial- ly unchanged, even though immigra- tion should cease entirely.” - Marines Give Women Tip on How to Wash Clothes. Because they use too much water and too little soap, wom- en do not get the same dazzling whiteness in their washed clothes as do the United States marines, Sergt. Clarence D. Rhoades of the Marine corps told a party of society women yisiting the battleship Utah. “The eye-paining brilliance of our white clothes is due to the fact that we wash with our heads as well as our hands, and we let soap do its proper share "of the work. Just enough water to thoroughly wet the wash is sufficient,” the sergeant contin- ued, “and the less water and more soap one uses the whiter the washing will turn out. ‘The fair visitors seemed great- ly impressed with the lesson. ee aaa ie tena eeibe SOROS ee ee: The white-pine blister rust has reached a stage where, according to specialists of the United States depart- ment of agriculture, energetic action 1s imperative if the disease is to be controlled. ‘ 5 ¢ NAT CATISEAT : fa | faint ATPIPAIRS 2h eee Putting Postal Guide Among the “Best Sellers” W ASHINGTON.—As a book and magazine seller the government has not | always kept the prices of its wares down to a point where the pocket- books of the rank and file of its citizens would not be strained by acquiring | monthly supplements, and a very small percentage of postal patrons have felt Justified in buying it. Believing that greater use of the volume will make for greater efficiency In the utilization of the complicated mail facilities, the post office department has taken steps to place the guide in the list of “best sellers” among government volumes by radically reducing the price. Instead of $3.50, the maximum price for the best bound of the books with all supple- ments will be 75 cents, while abridgments constituting a postal handbook sufficiently comprehensive for most users can be obtained for as little as 15 cents, . ‘The department is anxious to have its constructive step accomplish the desired purpose, and hopes that a copy of the heretofore little known guide will soon be found in the office of every concern engaged in domestic or foreign business, every school and institution, and, in fact, in the hands of every person who makes use of the postal service. Persons who use extensively the parcel post will find the guide of special value, the department believes. The dis; bursing clerk of the post office department in Washington Is the subscription agent for the government's new low-cost guide book. Last Sculptures Placed on ihe National Capitol A’ LAST the pediment of the east portico of the house of representatives’ wing of the capitol has been adorned with its sculptured group. The figures which Paul Waylard Bartlett has been engaged upon since 1909 have finally try and its ideals. Lastly, the group has been cut from Georgia marble in preference to the generally used Italian marble, and this is a completing touch to the general keynote of Americanism, ‘The general theme of the group is the democracy of the United States as expressed in types of her working people. This is distinctively an American conception, and is in line with Mr. Bartlett's desire to escape the banality of much of the modern sculpture which relies solely on classical types for expres- sions of American ideals. ‘The entire group may be divided for purposes of description into three sections, though the general theme is so dominant throughout that all the parts are fused into a harmonious whole. The central group expresses the idea of Peace protecting Genius, and the armed figuré of Peace, a majestic woman, clad in a coat of mail and draped about with a mantle, extends a protecting right arm over the winged and youthful figure of Genius, who nestles on the floor at her feet, holding aloft a flaming torch, the light of his power. Susteining this group on elther side are the figures which represent, on the right, agricultural and pastoral life and, on the left, the industrial life of the shop and foundry. Uncle Sam Will Seek Heirs to Many Millions T HE United States government is planning to aid in the task of finding miss- ing heirs to the millions of dollars of unclaimed accounts which are lying dormant in national banks throughout the country. Consideration is being their existence. The plan to restore this money will provide for a system of advertising by banks of lists of accounts which have lain dormant for a period of years to be determined upon. Failing in this manner to find claimants who ean prove ownership, the money will escheat to elther the state or federal gov- ernment and probably be used for philanthropic purposes. Officials recognize the opportunity for fraud in the claiming of accounts, but the legislation planned will throw safeguards around unclaimed funds which will require presentation of evidence indubitably establishing identity. Officials state that these unclaimed accounts arise largely through the deposit of money by men without their wives’ or heirs’ knowledge. Sudden death intervenes and leaves no connecting link of information, so the account goes unclaimed. Some American banks have unclaimed accounts half a century old and more, it is stated. How Government Clerks Cut the Cost of Living “S PECIALIZE, get your money in advance and cut the corners on handling, is the only way to conduct co-operative buying to a successful end,” Is the ndvice of G. K. Weston, who buys certain products of the farm and staple cers of the Home club, made up of employees of the department of the interior, to manage the club, He has long been a student of social economy, and, com- ing in contact with large bodies of government employees through being in the government himself, and then through his work for the club, set himself about solving the problem of the high cost of living, not by doing without necessities, which is the usual suggestion, but studying a way of spending a certain amount of money to get the most good out of It. His one idea was to form a connection between the producer and the con- sumer at Just as ttle cost as possible; and it was with this idea that co-opera- tive buying was taken up as a special feature of the Home club. ‘There was considerable controversy over the advance cash system when it was first suggested to the officers of the club, even Secretary Lane putting In his protest, But at a meeting of the club directors Mr. Weston so ably pre- sented his reasons for such an uniteard-of proposition that he carried his palnt. ‘The special plea for this pay-in-advance proposition is that It saves much time. and enables the manager to accompany his order with cash.

The little miss, with the pretty curls, looks well in the simplest of her clothes, but she is adorable in her party frocks. She is sweetly conscious of being "all dressed up" and is entirely satisfied with things as they are. This is a state of mind most comfortable for all concerned. The little party frock pictured above is made of such simple and inexpensive materials that every small girl is entitled to have her instinct for finery indulged. It requires nothing more extravagant than albatross cloth in cream white, a little venetian lace in an all-over pattern and plain cream white net for the sleeves. The albatross is a light weight wool fabric in a crepelle weave which has the advantage of being washable. It comes in white and all colors. Venetian lace is familiar as a pretty and serviceable sort which is just as washable as the plain net of which the sleeves are made. In this dress the skirt is joined to a plain short sleeveless waist. With its fullness disposed in a group of plats at each side the skirt hangs in a panel at the front and back. The short body is supported by narrow straps over the boulder and fastens with small butts and button holes in the back. The ```markdown ``` THE ANGEL For the Little Kindergartner The little miss who is about to take her initial step on the endless road of knowledge must be fitted out with plain and pretty frocks for school wear. Most of these are to be had ready made, in reliable materials and at prices so low that it is hardly worth while to make them at home. But others in which simple handwork in ornamental stitches is used for a finish are comparatively high priced. there is one made of plain "India linen." This by the way, is an unsuitable name for a beautiful cotton fabric that needs no false colors for smooth sailing. The plain full skirt is modeled at the top with mercerized crochet cotton and the edge of the frill about the neck is finished with overcast stitches set close together. This cotton is in color contrasting with the dress --- O sleeves are gathered into three shirred sections over small cords and finished with a band of lace. The little slip-over jacket of lace is gathered over a cord into a round neck and bound with scallops at the back and front that lengthen into points at the side. A wide sash of soft satin ribbon in one of the light tints is finished at one side with a big rosette bow with a single end. With a knowledge of the materials used and the small amounts required for a little girl, it is easy to figure the very modest cost of this pretty little party frock. The colored blouse of organine, volle, georgette and wash satin has taken such a hold on the popular fancy that it is quite difficult to find a really attractive plain white blouse, excepting those for sports wear. Pale pink, all tones of tan and yellow, soft blues and grays predominate. The costume blouse of pale cream lace or Georgette usually has an interlining of the palest fish chiffon; the blue waist is piped with pink or another harmonious contrast. It is indeed a season of color and one may indulge to the heart's content. ```markdown ``` and in this instance delft blue is used on white. The top of the wide hem is outlined with diagonal stitches set close together and the edges of the small bands about the sleeves are done in the same way as the collar. The greater number of dresses for school wear are made of heavier cotton and linens in colors. The fad for a reserved use of decorations made with the simplest of embroidery or other needlework stitches, shows no sign of decreasing in popularity. This quickly made and elegant-looking finish for the everyday clothes of little girls is in keeping with the familiar serviceable materials it is used on. It is not too fine for them. Fortunate the little miss whose home people can decorate her frocks in this way. Unconsciously she will be educated to a fine "sense of clothes." ```markdown ``` Lingerie Blouses.
