THRIFT AND CO- TION A THE ALL-POWERFUL AGENO- THAT WILL STRENGTH NOW WITH THRIFT is just a little saved out of every pay envelope to help provide for the proverbial "rainy day." It is impossible for us to get upon our feet until we learn the saving habit; until we learn to save every nickel, every dime, and every dollar that we can possibly spare. One among the most valuable lessons a person can learn at home or in school is that money is the representative of labor; a tangible compensation for efficient service, and not a gift to be had merely for the asking. The penny that is earned by a child is vastly more valuable to it than one obtained by soliciting. When the child grows older it will find that the world does not hand out money merely for the asking, but only in return for efficient service. The growing boy or girl cannot possibly be taught a better lesson than to be compelled to render some kind of efficient service in return for his or her spending money. Even though the services rendered be trivial, such as carrying wood, washing dishes, dusting, or running errands, the value of the lesson remains. After earning money by working, it becomes necessary that it should be spent wisely in order that the greatest mental, moral and financial benefits may be derived from it. If a child is merely taught to earn money just to spend it, he is acquiring the habits of a spendthrift, which will surely increase as it grows older, and proves disastrous. Every parent owes a duty to the child in training it—first, to earn largely and then spend wisely. Home training decides whether or not the child is to be thrifty or spendthrifty; a saver or a waster; a soldier in the great army of those who toil honestly for their support, or a slacker in the rear ranks who exists at the expense of those who work. The habit of thrift is steadily increasing among Negroes and that is the thing which really counts. The records show that they were among those who purchased liberally of the Liberty Loan Bonds, War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps; and they are ready patrons of Christmas savings Clubs, home building and loan associations, savings banks and life insurance companies. To save for any one thing helps a person to acquire the habit of saving generally, and it is a habit that grows. The individual who once begins to save a little money and adds to it for a given purpose is certain thereby, in a greater or less degree to learn the value of saving and to appreciate the penalties of extravagance. "Americans know better how to earn than how to save. We need to be constantly reminded that it is not so much the lack of ability to acquire as the lack of judgment in expending wisely that occasions penury." Saving is like any other good habit; it requires constant effort on the part of individuals to acquire, --- State Hist. & Nat Hist Boo State House the Only Reliable COLOR OPERA- MONG NEGROES Y, THE GIANT MACHINERY, EN THE RACE—START THE YOUNG. cultivate, and maintain it. The individuals who save no part of their earning are very unfortunate because they are squandering valuable time and energy with no protection against the financial loss which may be caused by sickness, accident, disability, helpless old age, or death. If your besetting sin is American extravagance the surest method of conquering that bad habit is to supplant it with a good one. Any method of saving is better than none, because the time will surely come when you will not be able to save. If you wish to know whether you are going to succeed in life or not, ask yourself this question: Am I able to save any part of my earnings regularly and work co-operatively? If you cannot do these things then your case is very doubtful. The possession of money by an individual or race means education, independence, influence, and power for the possessor; therefore, it behooves the Negroes to be thrifty, economical, and save all the money they can regardless of the size of their salaries—save anyhow. Negroes are learning to buy more of what they need and less of what they think they want. "Every man should own his own home, he will be a better husband and father, a better citizen, and a more successful man. He will shoulder his musket to defend his home," but he will not respond so readily to defend a rented room or boarding house. Living year after year in a rented house, with never a blade of grass nor a flower to call your own; with never that feeling of dignity and independence that comes from ownership, or proprietorship, in time will break the spirit of any man who has any red blood in him. The source of any man's inspiration to be thrifty, economical, to save, to succeed, ought to be found in his own home. The old-fashioned thrift way of paying cash for our needs has been discouraged, and now we pay next month for what we consumed last month. The buying of necessities and luxuries is made easy by the liberal extension of credit, entirely unwarranted and with a very demoralizing effect upon some people because it enables them to easily live beyond their finances. The most potent factors today in America for encouraging thrift are the government, the insurance companies, savings banks, Christmas savings clubs, and the home building and loan associations. (Among these thrift agencies are 45 Negro banks capitalized at $2,000,000 and doing an annual business of $25,000,000 and about 100 Negro insurance companies.) These are the greatest thrift agencies ever inaugurated among the people, and for the first time there has been a nation-wide thrift propaganda, the amazing results of which justify our faith that we have only scratched very lightly on the surface toward what can be accomplished in creating new capital among Negroes through thrift and co-operation. Co-operation means working together. One Negro working by himself can accomplish but very little; but 12,000,000 Negroes working together can accomplish almost anything. The co-operative spirit is shown more and more in the increase of co-operative or stock enter- TRUE-HEARTED, RED- WHITE MEN JUSTICE A STINGING REBUKE TO TRUE-HEARTED, RED-BLOODED WHITE MEN DECLARE FOR JUSTICE FOR ALL AMERICANS WHITE responsibility for a just settlement of the Negro question in the United States is brought into broad relief by the race riots of the last fortnight in the national capital and in Chicago. That Washington, a city of diplomats and world activities, the seat of the federal government, yet knowing the Negro as few great cities have the opportunity of knowing him, should, nevertheless, prove unable to prevent race differences from going to such extremities as have of late been a mater of record there, is an evidence of conditions that call for something other than superficial treatment with the police and the military. Armed patrols may keep order in the streets, but what is needed is that the heart of this situation shall be set right. Back of all the ill-feeling now existing between Negroes and whites in this country, it is probably fair to say, is the feeling of the Negroes that they have perfectly well-defined and incontrovertible rights under the federal constitution that are not being recognized for Negroes as they are for white persons. The franchise right is involved, but not by a long way is it the principal right. The principal right, undoubtedly, is the right secured under such assurances as these: No state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law. (Art. XIV, Sec. 1 of Amendments.) No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on indictment of a grand jury. (Art. V of Amendments.) In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district where the crime was committed, with witnesses for and against him, and with counsel to defend him. (Art. VI of Amendments.) The right assured by the sections of the constitution here summarized is nothing less than the right of an individual to justice under a popular government framed, as the preamble to the constitution expressly declares, to "establish justice," as well as to "insure domestic tranquility" and to "promote the general welfare." And justice for a Negro, under the American form of government, can mean nothing less than that, if he maintains himself as a decent, law-abiding citizen, he shall have such protection from the government as will assure him in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, ORIGINAL IN ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1919 A STINGING REBUKE TO SOUTHERN PROPAGANDA. prises among Negroes. As Negroes we must learn to save our money and work together for our own advancement; if we fail to do these things for ourselves, we may be very sure that no one else will do them for us. —The Southern Workman. BLOODED DECLARE FOR FOR ALL AMERICANS SOUTHERN PROPAGANDA. and that if he does wrong he shall be punished and restrained in his wrongdoing by the process of law, as provided by the government, under the constitution. It is not merely necessary that the whites agree to this, as already whites have stated it; it is necessary that the whites stand back of these declarations and see them through. Thus a high order of citizenship is demanded. For it is going to be made clear that crime is a matter of the individual, not of the mass. If an individual Negro insults a white woman, it is that individual who must be punished, not any man of black skin whom a mob takes a notion to go after. And if white men, singly or in groups, attack or injure Negroes, or undertake to punish even a criminal Negro without que process of law, then even the federal power itself should be called into play, if need be, to discover those individual white offenders and make them legally amenable. Mass judgments of individual guilt, mob action to discover and punish culprits, are—let us say it plainly—too often tolerated with respect to Negroes when they would stir the country if, similarly, and with similar persistence, applied to white men. It is time that such injustice should be corrected. All Negroes are not bad, all whites are not good. It is time for this great community, the United States, to recognize this fact, and to bring out and make use of all that is good and true in each race by setting itself fairly and fearlessly to discover and to correct whatever is evil in each. The thing to be remembered, as a basis for thought and action in this matter, is that the true solution of the difficulty lies in the discovery and correction of evil, no matter where or by whom expressed.—The Christian Science Monitor. ENGLAND SOLVES NEGRO PROBLEM BY DEPORTATION AN AMERICAN VERSION BY AN AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT. London (by mail).—England, which caught the Negro problem as a burr in her wool along with others of war debt, cripples and fewer ships, has decided to solve it by deportation. For the first time in her history an epidemic of race riots between natives and the alien black races which have come in to help fill gaps in the labor markets during the war has developed. POOR COND RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources And the British, being a thoroughgoing breed, make a good job of their riots, making Negro quarters look like something a tornado took out to play with. However, no burnings at the stake or hanging of victims have yet occurred, although there have been several deaths. The whole situation is caused by the act that the blacks want white brides. What's more, the blacks have been getting them. Swarthy Ethiopians, looking like the inside of a derby hat in the dark of the moon, have established themselves in London, not far from the theater district, and walk out evenings with their white-girl brides and are scarcely noticed. One can do almost anything in London, just so he doesn't worry the police. Passersby perhaps give them but a casual glance, if they notice them at all. A Big Reception Given in Honor of the Returned Oversea Soldiers. Thursday night of last week, the Civic League enjoyed the presence of a large attendance at their meeting. Mr. Toliver, secretary of the league read a heart-gripping paper on the subject, "The Sense of Reason." Mr. Toliver stated in his paper that the race was losing its sense of reason and drifting away from God to worship idols. He referred to ancient Israel, whom God lead out of Egypt, and cared for them as long as they kept their sense of reason and obeyed God; but the moment that they failed, their enemies came upon them, slaying many, and God refused them the vision of the Promised Land, and of entering therein. He also stated that God had brought us out of the house of bondage, and unless our immoral habits were improved and we began to serve God with a sense of reason, we should never conquer our enemies. After a few brief remarks on the paper by H. C. Jefferson and others, a very interesting article was read by Miss Lillian Jefferson taken from one of the Chicago newspapers on the recent race riots in that city, which touched along the same line as Mr. Toliver's paper. Reverends C. O. Smith and J. T. Muse made short talks in the interest of the league. Some very interesting narratives were also given by the oversea boys present, namely, Ruben Smith, Charles Vandorf and James B. Barker. A large number of discharged and retired soldiers were present, Sergt. Jones in charge. Mr. George Randall, manager, with the assistance of Mrs. J. E. Smith, Mrs. Allie Smith and Mrs. C. J. Toliver, served delicious refreshments which everyone enjoyed. Two clever elevator boys, Howard Fagan and William Everest, former heroes of the 369th infantry, caused the arrest of Philip Graver (white), 23, 15 Sylvan terrace, charged with stealing 157 pieces of silver from the apartment of Charles Battlebaum, 657 West 161st street, Washington Heights, where the operators are employed. They told the police that a noise in the basement caused them to investigate. Both saw Graver removing a heavy bundle tied in a sheet from a dumbwaiter. The thief told them that he was the laundry man. This story aroused suspicion and the thief ran, with the men and the janitor, John Herman, in pursuit. At 161st street and Fort Washington avenue Everest stopped the fleeing burge- But in the provinces it has been different. At Liverpool and other towns where larger Negro quarters have been established much property has been destroyed and bitter feeling engendered by tiffs between the whites and blacks, so much so that some 700 Negroes sought the becalming embrace of the police protection. So Negroes are to be cleared out, even though they have British citizenship. In the latter cases their sea passage will be paid and a little bonus given to quit Merrie England. Other allens likewise will be issued invitations homeward. These include Swedes, Danes and Norwegians who have been working in munition factories and doing other wartime jobs. All Chinese coolies who were brought in likewise will be sent home. lar with a right uppercut on the jaw. Policemen near by placed the man under arrest. John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today telegraphed Governor Dorsey of Georgia calling his attention to the reported lynching of a negro at Cochran, Ga., for making remarks about the race riots in Chicago, and asked what the state of Georgia was doing to apprehend and punish the lynchers. The telegram is as follows: August 7, 1919. Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, Governor, Atlanta, Ga. The lynching is reported by the press of a negro at Cochran, Ga., the charge being that the negro made remarks about Chicago riots. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully asks what the state of Georgia is doing to apprehend and punish the lynchers and calls attention to the fact that no crime against womanhood was even alleged. New York, N. Y., Aug. S.—The swarthy complexion of the members of the Abyssinian mission caused the officials of the National Democratic Club, 617 Fifth avenue, to draw the color line. The club members are insistently declaring that they drew no color line. To combat their argument comes a statement from Gen. H. H. Topakyan, Persian Consul General in New York, who is equally insistent that the club acted unwisely in objecting to the Abyssinian guests of high lineage. In the meantime U. S. government representatives, who represented the nation in accepting the Abyssinian delegation in America, are stoutly maintaining they will inform the President of the entire affair, intimating that they will leave the question of an explanation from the Democratic club directly to Mr. Wilson. Guest Is Rejected. According to General Topakyan he had planned a great farewell dinner to the Abyssinian guests. The guests consists of Prince Dejazmatch Nadao, nephew of the Empress of Abyssinia, and who traces his lineage back to the fold of wise old King Solomon, and others of the high rank in the far eastern kingdom. The general arranged for the dinner in the Democratic club. Shortly before the hour of dining, he escorted his entourage down Fifth avenue, stopping the motor procession while he purchased some cigars. As he ascended the steps, the general declares an official of the club looked out and beheld the dark faces of the Abyssinian notables. Straightway, the general says, the dinner deservings were cancelled. Republicans Entertain The National Republican Club was next appealed to and similar arrangements made for the same hour, without objection, although the circumstances of the recent refusal, it was said, were explained. The general is a bi-partisan and a member of both organizations. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN Plans have been perfected for a $150,000 motor speedway at Dalworth, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, and construction will start immediately. Claims for damages inflicted during the Mexican revolution totaled 21,500, 000 pesos on Aug. 2. This amount does not include American, British and French claims, which have not been filed. Five large Union Pacific railroad ice houses and the plant of the Utnah Ice & Cold Storage Company, leased to the Pacific Fruit Express Company, were destroyed by fire at Ogden, with a loss of $75,000. Jack Keating confessed in District Court at Des Moines, that he was one of a gang which robbed the Iowa State Bank here last March of approximately $40,000 in Liberty bonds and cash and was sentenced to ten years in the Fort Madison penitentiary. Whether a property owner is also owner of the air above his land is to be determined through a court action brought by Frederick Hoenemann, a farmer in Kansas. He seeks to restrain a company owning airplanes from using the air above his farm. Fifteen leaders of the conspiracy to cause a mutiny in the Chihuahua City federal garrison last week, and to deliver the city over to General Francisco Villa, were executed following the discovery of the plot, according to an American who arrived in El Paso from Mexico. A number of saloons which have been closed since Los Angeles went dry in April, 1918, are reported to be open and selling 2.75 per cent beer, and many of the soft drink places also are disposing of the beverage. Under an opinion by the city attorney, saloon licenses again will be issued. The city attorney bases his action on the favorable decision recently given by United States Judge Bledsoe. WASHINGTON The International Labor Conference provided for in the peace treaty has been called by President Wilson to meet in Washington, October 29th. Request that the secretary of war declare a surplus of motor trucks and automobiles held by the department in this country and to sell them immediately at reasonable prices, is made in a resolution introduced by Representative Goody Koontz, Republican, West Virginia. The resolution specifically calls upon the secretary for a statement as to why no surplus has been declared heretofore and why the cars "were allowed to stand out in the weather." A cotton production of 11,016,000 bales this year has been forecast by the Department of Agriculture, basing its estimate on the condition of the crop July 25, which it announced as 67.1 per cent of a normal. The forecast shows an increase of 30,000 bales over the forecast made a month ago. The condition of the crop showed a decline of 2.9 per cent during the month compared with the average decline of 4.2 per cent during the period in previous years. Without opposition or debate the Senate adopted a resolution authorizing the foreign relations committee to make a sweeping investigation of outrages against Americans and property in Mexico and to report what, if any means should be taken to prevent such outrages. Frederick Mears, who acted as general manager of the American railroad lines in France during the war, was appointed by President Wilson as chief engineer in charge of the construction of the government railroad in Alaska. He will be chairman of the Alaskan Engineering Commission. William C. Edes has been named consulting engineer to the commission. Income tax returns were filed by 3,472,890 persons, about 3 per cent of the population, for the calendar year of 1917, according to final reports just completed by the bureau of internal revenue. They showed total net income of $13,652,383,207. The increase over 1916, before the law was expanded to meet war expenses, was 3,035,854 returns and $7,353,805,587 in net income. Taxes paid totalled $675,249,450, an average of $368.56 per individual, or 6.03 per cent of the income. The fall campaign of the American Red Cross to enroll members for 1920 and to raise $15,000,000 to enable the organization to complete its war obligations at home and abroad will open November 3rd and close armistice day, November 11th, it was announced by Dr. Livingston Farrand, chairman of the Red Cross Executive Committee. Hoarded food stocks will be taken over by the government and placed upon the market to help re-establish the operation of the law of supply and demand, the Department of Justice made known in Washington. FOREIGN Premier Clemenceau probably will attend the meeting of the league of nations to be held in Washington this autumn. Viscount Grey of Falloden, who retired as head of the British Foreign Office in 1916, it is understood, is likely to accept the post of British ambassador to the United States. The Rumanians have swept the country bare of provisions for miles around Budapest. The American food mission at Vienna, in response to urgent appeals, has undertaken to feed the school children of Budapest. Sixty to eighty soldiers were killed and 200 wounded in the fighting during food riots, according to estimates, at Chemnitz. Ten civilians were killed and fifty wounded. The city now is quiet and trains are running. All the castles and buildings which the Hohenzollerns can prove they purchased with their own money they may retain. This is the decision of a commission which almost has completed the task of liquidating the affairs of the royal house. The flying boat, Felixstowe Fury, which was to start for Capetown, South Africa, on an 8,000-mile flight, crashed off Felixstowe during a test flight. The wireless operator on board, Lieutenant MacLeOle, was killed. The six passengers were rescued. According to the Westfalischen Anzelger, Count Eulenberg, as representative of the king of Prussia, has proposed taking 2,500,000 guilders from the ex-kaiser's private fortune in order to buy an estate where the ex-kaiser can remain as king of Prussia. Genoa Longshoremen recently converted themselves in twenty-four hours from striking workmen to employers of labor. They obtained through the success a day wage rate of $6.50 and the following day hired other men for their jobs at $2 a day, thereafter living easy lives on the remaining $4.50. Gold ingots worth £1,000,000 have been recovered by salvagers from the wreck of the former White Star Dominion liner Laurentic sunk January 8, 1917, off Fasad Light. The Laurentic, a vessel of 14,802 tons, which was acting as a British auxiliary cruiser, struck a mine off the north coast of Ireland and later sank. Of a personnel of 470 only 120 were saved. A large number of the men perished in open boats as a result of exposure. SPORT Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, outpointed Irish Patsy Cline of New York at the Philadelphia National baseball park. Bobby Green was knocked down twice in the concluding round of his ten-round fight with Al McManus at Tucson, only the gong saving him from a knockout at the end of the tenth round. Fred Gilbert, a well-known professional shooter of Spirit Lake, Iowa, broke the world's record for continuous target breaking at Hampton, Iowa, according to a telegram. Gilbert cracked 589 consecutive targets without a miss. Announcement has been made in Salt Lake by the directors of the Salt Lake City Baseball Club of the Pacific Coast League that $10,000 would be divided among the players if they succeeded in winning the league pennant this season. GENERAL The sugar crop of Cuba this year is expected to break all records, according to Gabriel G. Menocal, brother of the president of Cuba, who is in New York from Havana. Two Mexicans were shot and killed by American customs gards at El Paso, Texas, while attempting to smuggle six barrels of whisky to Mexico, according to the announcement of Judge Jesus Cuen, of the District Court, who completed an investigation. One of the smugglers was identified as a man named Ruiz, of a prominent family in Juarez. Moose hunting, duck shooting and fishing are included in the itinerary of the prince of Wales' trip through Canada, a seventy-day journey covering 8,800 miles. Charged with criminal anarchy under an old section of the penal code, four men were arrested in New York by detectives of the bomb squad after a raid on their apartment in the Bronx. Much anarchistic literature and a loaded revolver were found in the flat. All of the men were Finns. Suits for $500,000 for damages alleged to have resulted from the strike called by the Actors' Equity Association, were filed by the Winter Garden Company (the Shuberts) in the United States District Court in New York against nearly 300 of the country's most prominent stage and screen stars Lucy Murino was removed to Bellevue hospital a prisoner, charged with throwing her newborn baby on a roof on Canal street, New York. Detective Joseph Sheldrick of the Macdougal street station, sald the young woman admitted throwing the new-born baby out of a washroom window, but that she insisted she did not know the child was alive at the time. Sir Herbert Ames, who was chairman of the executive board of the Canadian Patriotic Fund, has accepted the position of financial director of the permanent secretariat of the League of Nations at Geneva, it was announced today. In a drive to curb profiteering among farmers who sell foodstuffs in Pittsburg, at abnormal prices and do not properly mark measures as required by state law, Murray Livingston, city ordinance officer, arrested thirty-two farmers, charging them with misdemeanor.

The annual cow punchers' reunion at Fruita will be held this year on Sept. 25 and 26, according to dates determined on at this time. The fifth of a series of mysterious fires in three weeks has led to the belief that a "firebug" may be at large in Leadville. All of these mysterious fires have occurred in the small hours of the morning and in nearly every case a small building has burned. The body of Eva Bingham, 20 years old, of McGraw, Neb., was found in a dry ditch one mile from Eaton. A party with which the girl was last seen is being sought by officers. Miss Bingham had evidently been beaten to death, her head being crushed. James Kramer, aged 14, was drowned in Greenhorn creek, twenty-six miles south of Pueblo, when he and his brother were swimming. The boy was selzed with cramps in the cold mountain water and drowned before his brother was able to pull him out. Alfred L. Myers, a former well known resident of La Junta, was killed by being thrown from a horse. His neck was broken. Myers went to the postoffice and remained longer than usual; his wife went in search of him, finding his dead body lying along the roadside, with the horse standing near by. Actual work on the Main street paving at Montrose has begun, after many delays which threatened to postpone the construction until 1920. M. A. Masters, contractor, has received considerable new equipment to handle the large concrete contrast and will push the work to an early completion. Some 200 pioneers and their families gathered at the fairground at Rocky Ford and enjoyed an old-fashioned picnic, in which the basket at noon and the coffee and lemonade played an important part. It was the greatest gathering of genuine "old settlers" that has been held in Otero county for years, and the entire day was one of joy to the old-timers. Charles Ray, while making a blast on the Gould reservoir, above Crawford, Delta county, was killed when a large rock from the blast hit him on the head. Workmen were at a long distance from the scene of the blast, but the rock hit him squarely on the head with such a force that he died two hours later. He is survived by a wife and four children of Rocky Ford. Information has been received by E. J. Waters of Clifton, that his son, Corporal Fred Waters, captured the championship of the marines at Quantico, Va., for crack rifle marksmanship. As a result of the survey of business and professional openings in the various smaller cities and towns of the state, conducted early this year by the State Immigration Department, a very considerable number of business and professional people from other states have found locations in Colorado and have added materially to the wealth of the smaller communities. Dr. Charles Lamb, state veterinary surgeon, and Dr. Glover of the State Agricultural College, are attempting to diagnose the horse disease that has become prevalent in Ottero county, especially in the Holbrook district. The epidemic has caused the death of a valuable animals in Prowers county, but after a careful examination the authorities declare that it is the same disease that was so prevalent in Kansas a few years ago. After being attacked the animals live a few hours and then die. Earl P. Bennett, residing northwest of La Junta, is erecting what is thought to be the largest silo west of the Mississippi river. The silo will have a capacity of 1,000 tons, and is being constructed of vitrified hollow tile. In addition to this silo, Mr. Bennett has two others, each of 200 tons capacity. He is engaged in sheep and cattle feeding. Sol Exon, a flockmaster in the Echo basin country, recently killed one of the largest brown cinnamon bears ever seen in that locality, and the animal weighed 1,000 pounds. --- A total of 12,565 refrigerator cars will be required to handle Colorado's fruit and vegetable crop, one of the largest on record, this year, according to figures compiled by the State Public Utilities Commission on the basis of requisitions received. The Palladsade peach crop will require more cars for shipment than ever before, 950 cars being asked. Fifteen hundred cars for apples will also be used in that district. The San Luis district has asked for 4,200 cars to handle its potato and vegetable crops alone. Of the total cars needed in the state from July to December, inclusive, 1,300 will be used in transporting peaches, 3,200 for apples, 7,635 for potatoes and vegetables, 420 for pears and mixed fruit shipments. COLORADO STATESMAN Suspension of assessment work during 1919 on unpatented mining claims has been granted by Congress, the Senate adopting the House resolution, which now goes to the President for signature. There are 5,000 unpatented ore claims in Colorado which will be benefited by the resolution, if signed by the President. This means relief from assessment work amounting to $500,000, and will stimulate production, according to M. B. Tomblin, secretary of the Colorado Metal Mining Association. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Alfalfa, the great hay and feed crop of the irrigated districts of the West, is being rapidly developed as a dry farming crop in Weld county. In the Grover district, fifty miles northeast of Greeley, farmers are putting up their second crop of alfalfa. The crop is planted in rows and is cultivated until it has gotten a good start. The Grover Community Club is urging every new settler to put in from twenty to forty acres of alfalfa for hog posture and for hay. A total of 6,651.35 acres of public land, located in Alamuda, Baca, Elbert, El Paso, Kit Carson, Lincoln, Logan, Moffat, Montezuma, Pueblo and Weld counties were sold by the State Land Board at public auction in the state representatives' hall in the state capitol building. The average amount received for each acre of land was $15.99, or an aggregate amount of $105,421.49. The sale reserves mineral, coal, asphaltum and oil rights on the land. A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. The lives of at least four stunned passengers from a wrecked automobile were saved by Mrs. Henry M. Jones, Jr., of Danville, Ill., on the Florence-Victor highway when she dragged them from the waters of Phantom creek. Mrs. Tressie Wigington of Brighton, Colo., a school teacher, and Hubert Stevens of Jewell, Kan., were killed and six others injured when the car left the highway and plunged down the seventy-five-foot embankment. Bonifacio Basques was killed and his father-in-law, Rufacio Garcia, dangerously wounded following a quarrel at a dance hall with two men at Pueblo, said to have been Juan Trajilla and Joe Savas. The quarrel started in the hall because the alleged murderers objected to criticism by Garcia as to their actions. It was finished in the street an hour or so later, when Trajilla and Savas are said to have drawn revolvers and fired upon Basques and Garcia. THE COLORADO STATESMAN With a membership including men who are leaders in their professions from every part of the United States, the Inter-Mountain Country Club, organizing in Denver headquarters, is prepared to take over on Sept. 1 the Mount Morrison hotel property in Bear Creek canon. The club has secured the resort buildings and an additional 200 acres, sufficient to give the organization ample domain for its prospective extensive outdoor activities. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. A sheepherder, Leon Rispoud, was killed near Leadville when the mule he was riding became frightened at an approaching automobile and fell, throwing Rispoud under him. Rispoud was driving a pack train of four mules when an automobile came down a hill in back of them, throwing the train into confusion. Dr. J. Walter Fewkes of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D. C., is at the Mess. Verde national park, where he will spend the next six weeks to two months in excavating new ruins.

Dr. G. K. Olmsted of Denver was chosen head physician of the Woodmen of the World by the board of managers which held its regular quarterly meeting in Denver. He succeeds Dr. J. C.

TWODOLLARSAYEAR A movement is on foot, started by the La Plata County Farm Bureau, to get this state and New Mexico to combine efforts toward getting the reclamation service* to build reservoirs and ditches across from the Animas river that will irrigate all of the lands north of the San Juan river and to the west of the Animas. The effort is a big one and after detailed arrangements have been made will require the backing of everyone in both La Plata county, Colorado, and San Juan county, New Mexico, the acreage desired to be reclaimed lying in both states.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) "It's all very well," said Mrs. Connor, "to talk about making over clothes, but I haven't found that it pays at all." As Mrs. Stanton leaned forward to answer, the other women of the club leaned back comfortably in their rocking chairs to enjoy more fully this discussion of clothes, the subject so dear to every feminine heart. "You and I surely have had different results, then. Everything I am wearing today has been made over, or at least changed in some way from its original style, and I am sure this suit and blouse are wearing as well as any I might have bought this spring," Mrs. Stanton answered. was not in the least shabby, so thought I'd color it.

Your clothes look wonderfully well and those which I have remodeled have that rather forlorn, made-over look at first, and show worn places and holes before I have worn them more than a month or so." Good Workmanship Counts. "Perhaps it is because, while I buy fewer clothes than you, I get better material in the first place and always take better care of them than you do. You know you are always looking for bargains and argue that buying cheap things does away with the necessity of brushing, cleaning regularly, and hanging up your clothes carefully, as I do mine. "I remember, when I bought this suit, there was another one which I liked almost as well for less money, but, since I realized the material in it would look shabby by the end of one year's service, I decided on this one. I wore this one quite stendily for two years and then remade it this spring. It can easily be worn another year. In the meantime, I have enjoyed wearing the suit because I have always felt well-dressed and comfortable when I had it on. The happy combination of good material and good workmanship showed in it and I have been contented to get along without some other clothes I might otherwise have been inveigled into buying." "Well, perhaps that is true of your suit, but I doubt whether you have better material in that blouse you have on than there was in the one I attempted to dye. It was mustard colored, done in that gay embroidery such as everyone was wearing a year ago.

One thing, I remember, was to remodel only when the material has enough wear in it to warrant the necessary work and cost of new material. The librarian told me we could get copies from the home demonstration agent. I would suggest that we get copies for discussion at some future meeting and have the demonstrator talk to us about it." These women are not more interested in clothes and how to get value received from them than thousands of others are.

Dairy specialists will also help the milkmen in their efforts to manufacture cottage cheese of extra quality. FAMOUS PEACE TREATIES By H. IRVING KING (Copyright, 1919, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) TREATY OF BUENOS AYRES, 1823 When South America Emerged From Spanish Domination, Uiting the Revolting Colonies. The independence of Spanish South America was rendered possible by the Treaty of Buenos Ayres, which united all of Spain's revolted colonies below the Isthmus of Panama in a league against the mother country, or any other country which should question their right to set up for themselves as free and independent nations. Spanish viceroys waged war on the other colonies. In Upper Peru, or what is now Bolivian, however, there was a strong antagonism to the royal authority which spread gradually to the other parts of viceroyalty and rendered the Spanish supremacy precarious. In 1821 this Peruvian movement had gained such strength that Strangely enough, the South American revolution started in an uprising of the colonists in behalf of the legitimate king of Spain, Ferdinand VII. Napoleon having placed his brother Joseph on the throne of Spain, Venezuela, New Granada (Colombia) and Buenos Ayres (Argentina), revolted almost simultaneously in 1810, deposed the royal officers, and established juntas with the avowed purpose of holding those colonies for King Ferdinand. In March of 1811 a Venezuelan congress was convened and on July 5 a declaration of independence was adopted. In New Granada the province of Cartagena declared its independence in the same year, Bogota, or the province of Cudinamarca, proclaimed itself independent "during the captivity of the king." The eastern provinces sought an alliance with Venezuela. Meantime, a revolution broke out in Ecuador, which was joined by the part of New Granada adjoining, but this seems to have been a rather mixed up affair, the revolutionists not exactly sure of what they wanted. Revolution Expanded. The revolution in Buenos Ayres spread over all that section, but it was not until after independence was declared, what is now the Argentine Republic taking the name of the United Provinces of La Plata. Paraguay, which revolted in 1810, proclaimed its independence the next year and refused to unite with La Plata, which, as yet, had not revolted. Uruguay had been made a part of Brazil in some of the royal and imperial deals of Europe and was held by a Portuguese army. The revolution broke out in Chile in 1812 and was suppressed only to break out again. It was not until 1818 that Chile finally declared her independence. 1814 King Ferdinand had been restored to the Spanish throne, so those colonies which remained in revolt and had not declared their independence seemed to have little excuse for their independence or existence as governments. Between the beginning of the uprisings in 1810 and the Treaty of Buenos Ayres in 1823 there was constant warfare between the Spanish and colonial forces, each colony playing a lone hand. Peru was the center of the Spanish power and from there the TREATY OF FREDERIKSHAVN. 1809 Amid the breaking up of empires, the birth of new nations and the rebirth of old ones, Finland seems to have come in for a place as an independent country, something that she never has been before since the thirteenth century, when the Finns were subjugated and Christianized by the Swedes. For over a hundred years Finland formed an integral part of the Swedish realm and furnished to that kingdom a host of men eminent in war and peace. Under Swedish rule Finland enjoyed an autonomous constitutional government and developed a unique civilization of its own. Swedish was spoken in the towns and by the cultured class, but the peasant clung to the old Finnish tongue. to see his neighbor's grounds from own windows." But a good chance to grab all land did not present itself to Russia until the general upheaval of the poleonic wars. After the peace Tilsit, Russia and France being lies, the czar had a free hand to regard to Sweden and resolved to Finland. He called it himself "an of bad faith toward a relative and ally." In February of 1808 a Rus army invaded Finland. The aged incapable field marshal Klingspor, commanded an army of Finns in Sweden in Finland, was ordered by panic-streicken Swedish king, Gustav IV, to save his troops as best he could. "Gibraltar of the North." With the fall of Sweden Then came the invasion of Finland by Russia in 1809 and the treaty of Frederikshavn, by which Finland passed to Russia and the troubles of the Finnns began. The Finns are a rather singular people to find in the northwestern corner of Europe, being Mongolians, a tribe of that race which, wandering or driven from the great piateau of Central Asia, found a resting place at last between the Baltic sea and the Arctic ocean. Near the Finnish Border. Near the Finnish Border. When Peter the Great built his new capital amid the swamps of the Neva he placed it only 33 miles from the Finnish border and from that hour Russia looked upon Finland as something that must eventually be hers. The adventures of Charles XII of Sweden afforded Peter his first opportunity to seize a part of the coveted territory. Charles was as determined to crush the growing power of Russia as Peter was to make her the "colossus of the North." At the battle of Pultown, June 27, 1709, fought in what now calls itself the Ukraine, the destinies of the two nations for a while hung in the balance. But "victory passed to the triumphant czar" and Charles escaped a fugitive into Turkey. By the treaty of Nystadt in 1721 Czar Peter granted peace to the exhausted Swedes, but only upon their relinquishing the Baltic provinces to Russia and also the province of Viborg, a part of Finland. By taking Viborg Peter pushed the Finnish border back and when the French ambassador interceded for the retention of this province by Sweden, Peter replied that it "was not pleasant Spanish viceroyas waged war on the other colonies. In Upper Peru, or what is now Bolivia, however, there was a strong antagonism to the royal authority which spread gradually to the other parts of viceroyalty and rendered the Spanish supremacy precarious. In 1821 this Peruvian movement had gained such strength that an assembly of Peruvians declared independence, though the viceroy still held his post and, by the command of the sea which he possessed and the strength of the royal forces, still fought to subdue South America to the Spanish crown. Brazil's Independence Declared. In 1822 Brazil declared its independence of Portugal and set up as an empire under the head of the royal house of Braganza, who gave up his claims to the Portuguese throne. In the tumult which raged around her in South America Brazil took no part. Her revolution was peacefully accomplished and her independence peacefully secure. But all Spanish-America was in a state of chaos. The revolted colonies could not even agree among themselves and were rent by international discords. It looked as if Spain, by a vigorous effort, might yet restore her authority in South America, attacking the revolted colonies in detail. Simon Bolivar had now succeeded in forming out of Venezuela, New Granada and Ecuador the Republic of Colombia. He saw that union was necessary for the securing of the independence of the colonies and in January of 1823 sent Don Joaquín Mosquera to Buenos Ayres to propose a defensive alliance of the United Province of La Plata and the Republic of Colombia. Honed to Have Colonies Unite. Rivadavia was provisionally in charge of the La Plata government. His idea was to have all the colonies unite in a peaceful understanding with the mother country by which the revolution should be completed; he was evidently listening to the siren song of the royal commissioners. Mosquera insisted upon a military alliance against Spain. The result was that for the first time Spanish South America showed a united front. The treaty was signed on March 8, 1823. On December 9, 1824, was fought in southern Peru the battle of Ayacucho in which General Sucre with the allied army defeated and captured the Spanish viceroy, La Serna. Fourteen Spanish generals gave up their swords that day and the war of independence was at an end, except for a few minor engagements. to see his neighbor's grounds from his own windows." But a good chance to grab all Finland did not present itself to Russia until the general upheaval of the Napoleonic wars. After the peace of Tilsit, Russia and France being allies, the czar had a free hand with regard to Sweden and resolved to seize Finland. He called it himself "an act of bad faith toward a relative and an ally." In February of 1808 a Russian army invaded Finland. The aged and incapable field marshal Klingspor, who commanded an army of Finns and Swedes in Finland, was ordered by the panicless Swedish king, Gustavus IV, to save his troops as best he could. "Gibraltar of the North." With the fall of Sveaborg, which the Swedes called the "Gibraltar of the North," all hope of saving Finland was lost; but during the summer a Finnish army fought several battles with the Russian troops not without success. In the fall, however, the Russian army was increased, and on September 14 was fought the battle of Oravais, famous in Finnish annals. The battle lasted 15 hours and was only decided in favor of the Russians by the timely arrival of re-enforcements. In this battle the Swedes and Finn lost 2,000 killed, one-third of the whole force with which they went into battle. The remnants of the army withdrew under the cover of night, when the increased number of Russians made it folly to continue the battle, and crossed the Swedish frontier. Finland was now lost. In Stockholm when the disastrous news reached there, the king was deposed and his son, Prince Charles made regent. In Seeland lay a French army under Bernddotte—destined to become king of Sweden later—ready to attack. The regent now turned his attention to Russia and attempted to drive out a Russian army which occupied West Bothnia. He was unsuccessful, but finally that army withdrew of its own accord. The czar now signified that he was willing to treat for peace and on September 17 signed at Frederikshavn a trenty by which Sweden gave up to Russia all of Finland and the Aland islands. After that treaty Finland was in a constant state of unrest and contention with her Russian masters. Now she proposes to set up for herself.

THE apparent volcanic eruption on the "island of profiteering" will be very effective if something to remove the evil will result permanently. We have lived and witnessed the wars through which our country has passed from the Civil war to the late world's war, and we have never seen anything different from what is happening at present. More millionaires were made during and after the war, more pauperism appeared on the scene, and then the result of theft and murder generally terminates the unfair dealing in high places. There is no doubt about the ability of the government to put a stop now and for the future to this accursed evil that has been our lot for over a century, but will it be done? The noise and clamor "DOWN WITH THE PROFITEERING AGENCIES; PUT THEM IN PRISON, DESTROY THE BUSINESS," are familiar expressions that have fallen on our ears again and again; and may we ask what has been accomplished? A little noise, a little shout, an investigation, a turn about. A break of silence, the storm is o'er; in the rut as usual, we hear nothing more."

A LIFE well spent, a period of years well lived, an example given to the world that cannot be obliterated, a standard set that is immovable, a perpetual monument erected by himself, the epitaph of which is indelibly inscribed in the hearts and lives of men who, guided by the manly straightforward acts of a man who passing through the channel of poverty, reached the harbor of wealth which enabled to put into practice the beautiful command. DO GOOD UNTO ALL MEN. Nearing the completion of 84 years of existence he was called from labor to reward last Monday morning, 7:10 o'clock at his summer home, Shadowbrook, having become a victim of bronchial pneumonia after three days' illness. Anyone who has followed the career of this late man of wealth must conclude that this idea of "lucky" day," or "fortune's incident," and similar accidents, were not in Mr. Carnegie's career, as the maxims of his life if adhered to by all men would place them in the position to acquire long life, great wealth and most of all the confidence and fellowship of other men. It is not necessary to recount herein what he has done for the world as every boy and girl, every man and woman have been greatly benefited and blessed by his gift, the dissemination of education through his LIBRARY INSTITUTION, a system that placed humanity on a higher plane, and a method which is gradually removing the obstacle of PREJUDICE and bringing man nearer to his fellow man. In this great gift to the world, peoples of all tongues and climes have been the beneficiaries and in this distribution of his wealth amounting to $385,000,000, by which educational institutions were founded and endowed, the world rejoices in once having in its possession for over four score years a man who, though he is dead, yet he lives, and will live until the end of time as no power can erase the impressions his life and work have made on humanity. Though he passed the biblical allotment of life, yet his death at this time was unexpected, and at this time we bow in reverence and submission to Him Who gives and takes, but Who also through His kindness permitted such a number of years to be lived by a man that was a benefactor to humanity, a power for good and a wonderful agent for suppressing the evil among his fellow men, and ameliorating conditions which point to a real fraternity among the sons of earth.

AMERICA'S SOUTHERN PROPAGANDA IN FOREIGN LANDS. IN AN ARTICLE appearing elsewhere in this issue—"England Solves Negro Problem by Deportations," we request our readers not to merely glance, but read carefully and digest thoroughly what the correspondent (whom we can clearly discover is nothing short of an American and a Southerner at that) intends to convey. While the average white American is opposed to intermarriage of blacks and whites, yet there is an element chiefly in the Southland that does not object to an illegitimate form of domestic relationship as they entertain the slavish idea of the antebellum days, and where the terrible unfair action comes in, is that our women, the best, the fairest, the intelligent, must be victimized by these monsters if they so desire, and if this black man attempts to doff his hat, much more to keep company and then a result of legal marriage takes place, he must be lynched, tortured, murdered or something after this fashion to appease the wrath or to cool the vengeance of his noble superior (?) brother. The writer starts in prejudice and ends with prejudice, and though he tries to throw missiles at London in her don't care fashion of viewing this particular amalgamation, yet he attempts to balance or square himself by his announcement of the ill treatment the blacks receive in Liverpool and other provinces. It may be true that a larger number of Negroes have not been seen in different parts of England before, but if this American correspondent could have visited England in the reign of the late Victoria the Good, at her Jubilee celebration, 1887; then her Diamond celebration in 1897, when Negroes were in evidence in every part of London and the provinces; then during the reign of Edward VII when quite a number went over to the coronation which was postponed on account of the king's illness; also if he would visit the docks and piers and witness the arrival and departure of thousands of sails of the line, with their great mass of blacks, he would be the victim of an epileptic attack from fright when he would behold the wives, daughters and sweethearts of these ebony-hued men, as he calls them, in loving embrace, rejoicing over the successful voyage, or wishing the bovy voyage to those about to embark. We see clearly into this writer's scheme and we know this is an effort of venting his spleen, or in other words offering a suggestion to the mobportion of our country to imitate England; but at this time all we can say, if England that has had her Magna Charta; England that has been universally famed for right, fair play and justice will allow herself to be influenced by the subtle, barbarous and savage-like influence of an inhuman act and purpose as is continually being placed before her, then she too will sooner or later learn at a terrible cost the result of deviating from the path of justice, truth and right, and will pay the toll as Spain, Russia, Rome or a mocked democracy has paid and will pay.

Most of us today are trash. One reason is that there are too many so-called die stars—who aren't—while others who might become real artists are able to break in. In America today there are only three feminine films who are really stars. The rest are merely keeping out girls who have right to be there. A number who are advertised as stars might fill second parts very well. But in all the United States there are only three stars worthy of the prize. The producers are to blame. They make so-called stars overtreat—create them by force of advertising. Instead of selecting them among girls who are potential artists, it is the producer's pet who takes into the movies today, not the girl with the real art in her. The public is the goat.

BURNS When the United States entered the war it was considered an expression of patriotism to wear a tiny American flag. The finest expression of patriotism one could display now would be the wearing of a tiny Thrift flag, if such an emblem were obtainable, to indicate an understanding of, loyalty to and service for our country in peace time. Instead of a war with other countries the United States now has before it the tremendous struggle with the tendency to drift back to its prewar habits of careless spending and general waste.

We are offering every pair of men's oxford in the house, making the prices considerably less than we would have to pay at wholesale to replace the stock today. We could save money by holding these oxford over for next year, but we need the shelf space for fall and winter stocks.

It was frequently highly ornamented and wrought with various designs. But as other rings began to be worn the wedding ring was made conspicuously plain. The practice, however, was long in vogue of inscribing appropriate mottoes on rings. The ring may be said to be symbolic. It is of gold and typifies purity and refinement, whereas its rotundity signifies "the round flowing of mutual love and hearty affection." Not Going to Withdraw It A man who had a very bad impediment in his speech once got into an argument with an acquaintance to whom he had taken a great dislike. The dispute became hotter and hotter until the unfortunate stammerer completely lost his temper. "You're a f-f-f-f-fool!" he shouted furiously. "Sir," replied the acquaintance coldly, "you must retract that at once." "Never!" retorted the stammerer. "I'm only too glad to g-g-g-get it out!" Hornbill's Remarkable Nest Most wonderful of all is the nest of the hornbill. The hen bird lays her eggs in a hollow in a tree, and as soon as she is settled on them the male bird walls her in with clay, leaving just space for her head to stick out. He feeds her, and there she sits, not only until the eggs are hatched, but until the young are big enough to come out. Opinion is divided into four parts—what we want our friends to think of us, what we think they think of us, what they do think of us, and what we think they think we think they think of us. New Potatoes Grow Old. If you place two-year-old potatoes in a box in a perfectly dry dark place and leave them for a few weeks you will find that new potatoes have grown on the old ones. They will continue to grow until the old potatoes have shriveled to dry skins. Speaker's Sore Throat "Clergyman's sore throat" is, according to Dr. John J. Levbarg of New York, due to an incorrect method of breathing, which causes the speaker or singer to use his muscles incorrectly and thus overtax the throat. The proper way to breathe is to use the diaphragm and the lower ribs, keeping the upper chest full of air.

We've often thought what a pity it is that a man can't dispose of his experience for as much as it cost him.— Eskridge Independent. Three Capital Crimes "When I was a boy." states Mr. Patch in Stockton Herald, "there were three capital crimes—murder, blasphemy, and lying abed in the morning. Of the three, murder and blasphemy might sometimes be forgiven, but late rising never. One of my grandfathers frequently got up at four o'clock on a winter morning, built a fire in the cook stove and then would sit down by it and go to sleep."—Kansas City Times. Sensitiveness of Plants When rain is about to fall the clover shuts its leaves, bringing two of its three leaves face to face and folding the third over the top. The young blossoms are also carefully sheltered by inclosing leaves which move forward in the evening and wrap them round. Happiness in Cheerfulness The mind that is cheerful in its present state will be averse to all solicitude as to the future, and will meet the bitter occurrences of life with a placid smile.—Horace. Nature's Wonderful Work Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress. —Dickens. First Land Sale. We should say the first land sale on record was the purchase of the field of Machpelah by Abraham, who paid 400 shekels of silver for the field in which he buried his wife. Old Age Unhealthy We can't help thinking, that the business of a centenarian is very unhealthy. We rarely hear of them unless they are dying. Sixteenth and California Wedding Rings Opinion.

He gave information as to the wage-scale being on the same basis of the other race, and that Pittsburgh was a town where one was treated as an American without the "prefix."

Miss Sarah Rector, the oil queen of Kansas City, Mo., visited Denver last week, accompanied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rector and sister Miss Rebecca Rector, and uncle, Rev. McQueen of Omaha, Neb., and four other relatives all of whom came by motor from Kansas City and Omaha. They were guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Shelbun of 2420 Welton street. Mr. Shelbun is the president and general manager of the Cosmopolitan Oil & Gas Co. The stockholders of the Cosmopolitan Oil and Gas Co. royally entertained Miss Rector and her party at a grand reception at the home of Mrs. Shelbun. The partors were beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowers and the table with all the delicacies of the season of which a large number of Denver's good citizens gathered to partake of The following day the party returned to Omaha by motor, the Rector family in their Cadillac eight and the McQuen family in their Mitchell. C. A. Franklin, editor of the Call of Kansas City was in the city this week enroute to Trinidad to attend the Masonic Grand Lodge. UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION. The United States Civil Service Commission announces that a non-educational examination will be held, open, and applications received, until August 29, 1919, for the purpose of filling a vacancy in the position of unskilled laborer (male) janitor work, in the custodian service at Denver. Age: 20 to 50 years on the date of the examination. Salary; $060.00 per annum. Application blanks and further information may be obtained from the local secretary, Board of Civil Service Examiners, at the window No. 2, Postoffice building CHAS. L. HINCKE. Local Secretary. Y. M. C. A. NOTES A special meeting composed of members of the committee of management and other young men interested in the work was held on Wednesday evening. The meeting was an important-one looking towards organization for the fall work. All the men were hopeful and entered with enthusiasm into the work as set forth by the program. It was agreed tentatively to open the fall campaign about the middle of September. Lieutenant-Chaplain Collins, recently returned from overseas service, was seen a few days ago. He had met our Mr. Parks in France, knew of his work and was very enthusiastic in his praise. "He is one of the finest follows the Y. M. C. A. ever sent over to France" said the chaplain. "He was untiring in his efforts to serve the men. It mattered not whether he was called upon in the day or during the dead hours of the night, it never made any difference. He always came forward with a smile. The men were particularly fond of him." The croquet fans have had a great time this week. Few of the ladies have played, but the men and boys have put in good time. Among the boys, it is difficult to say whether James, popularly known as "Lazy," or Washington is leading. It may take the official count to decide. Among the seniors the situation is just about the same, only more so. Sims is sure he can beat King, "provided he can get a good start." King declares he can beat Sims no matter what the conditions may be. Buford, in a series of singles, played Sims, winning over him 2 to 1. Sims then defeated Bell 4 to 0, and Adolphus Lightner 2 to 1, while Sims and Stripling played a draw. The Lightners are getting into the game again and have already played some interesting games. More exciting ones are for next week. High Class Theratical Company Reese Bros in Town for Rest. Among the summer visitors to our city are the Reese Bros, Arthur and Ollie and rs. Jessie Nickens Reese, also other members of the company, who are taking a much needed rest for ten days after a continuous theatrical engagement extending over a long period. They intend visiting a number of cities, traveling overland in their touring cars. The Reese brothers are well known to Denverites, having spent a number of years here, and Mrs. Jessie Reese can lay claim to Denver as her educational training institution. We wish the company every success and hope for them a season eclipsing its predecessors. GOOD NEWS FROM KEY OIL REFINING COMPANY.

The Public and the Company COMMUNITY always welcomes the establishing of an institution that fills a recognized community need; unfortunately it doesn't always manifest a lively interest in the health of such an institution after it is established. It is one thing to establish industries; it is quite another thing to build up, develop and maintain them. An industry can be established by the investment of capital; its development and maintenance depend upon the attitude of the public toward the enterprise and toward the product. Likewise, the permanency of an institution depends upon the willingness of its customers to pay a sufficient price for its product to enable it to continue strong and healthy financially. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company's system of wires, furnishing the means of communication over mountains, plains and desert, is a tremendous factor in the development of the West. Telephone service is a "home product" of every community in the mountain states, and is woven into the very warp and woof of commercial and social life. The permanency and adequacy of telephone service depend upon the same factors as are involved in the security and permanency of every other established industry. With very, very few exceptions the people of the West recognize these principles and pursue a "live and let live" policy toward all legitimate business institutions.

HIGH PRICES DECLARED TO BE ARTIFICIAL President Addresses Congress on Subject of High Cost of Living. Chief Executive Declares "Vicious Practices" Are Responsible for Perilous Situation Which Faces the Nation—Makes Important Recommendations. Washington. — Addressing congress and proposing remedies to check the high cost of living, President Wilson declared that existing laws were inadequate and that high prices were not justified by shortage of supplies, present or prospective, but were created in many cases "artificially and deliberately" by "vicious practices." The president recommended that the food control act be extended to peace time operation and that congress exclude from interstate as well as intrastate shipments goods which did not comply with its provisions. His address was as follows: Gentlemen of the Congress: I have sought this opportunity to address you because it is clearly my duty to call your attention to the present cost of living and to urge you with all the persuasive force of which I am capable the legislative measures which would be most effective in controlling it and bringing it down. The prices the people of this country are paying for everything that it is necessary for them to use in order to live are not justified by a shortage in supply, either present or prospective, and are in many cases artificially and deliberately created by vicious practices which ought immediately to be checked by law. They constitute a burden upon us which is the more unbearable because we know that it is wilfully imposed by those who impose it, and that it can be moreous public action be greatly lightened and made to square with the actual conditions of supply and demand. Profiteers Lawbreakers Some of the methods by which these prices are produced are already illegal, some of them criminal, and those who employ them will be energetically proceeded against. But others have not yet been brought under the law, and should be dealt with at once by legislation. It is important to understand the critical matter; the prices demanded and paid at the sources of supply, at the factory, in the food markets, at the shops, in the restaurants and hotels, alike in the city and in the village. They are familiar to you. They are the talk of every domestic circle and of every group of casual acquaintances even. It is not unusual to see a process has set in which is likely, unless something is done, to push prices and rents and the whole cost of living higher and yet higher, in a vicious cycle to which there is no logical or natural end. With the increase in the prices of the necessaries of life come demands for increases in wages-demands which are justified if there be no other means of payment. Upon the increase of wages there follows close an increase in the price of the products whose producers have been accorded the increase—not a proportionate increase, for the manufacturer does not content himself with that, but an increase considerably greater than the wages cost and for which the added wage cost is oftentimes hardly more than an excuse. The laborers who do not get an increase in pay when they demand it are likely to strike, and the strike only makes matters worse. It checks production; if it affects the railways it prevents distribution it strikes the manufacturer that there is prepaid shtung to buy, and there is another excessive addition to prices resulting from the scarcity. Conditions Not "Natural." These are facts and forces with which we have become only too familiar; but we are not justified because of our familiarity with them or because of any hasty and shallow conclusion that they are "natural" and inevitable, in sitting inactively by and letting them work their fatal results if there is anything that we can do to check, correct, revise, or improve its opportunity to inform the congress what the executive is doing by way of remedy and control, and to suggest where effective legal remedies are lacking and may be supplied. We must, I think, frankly admit that there is no complete immediate remedy to be had from legislation and executive action. The free processes of supply and demand will not operate of themselves, and no legislative or executive action can force them into full and natural operation "There is now neither peace nor war. All the world it waiting—with what unnerving fears and haunting doubts who can adequately say?—waiting to know when it shall have peace and what kind of peace it will be when it comes—a peace in which a nation shall make shift for its asl it can, or a peace butted on its back, or a concert of the nations that have the purpose and the power to do and to enforce what is right. Politically, economically, socially, the world is on the operating table, and it has not, been possible to administer any anaesthetic. It is conscious. It even watches the capital operation upon which it knows that its hopes of healthful life depends. It knows that its plans or give intelligent and provident direction to its affairs while in such a case. Where there is no peace of mind there can be no energy in endeavor. Must Know Terms of Peace. There can be no confidence in industry, no calculable basis for credits, no confident buying of systematic selling, no certain prospect of employment, no normal restoration of business, no hopeful attempt at reconstruction or a return to the elements of enterprise until peace has been established, and, so far as may be guaranteed. Our national life has no doubt been less radically disturbed and dismembered than the national life of other peoples whom the war more directly affected with all its terrible effects, with all its terrible effects, has been nevertheless profoundly affected and disarranged, and our industries, our credits, our productive ca- pacity, our economic processes are inextricably interwoven with those of other nations and peoples—most intimately of all with the nations and peoples upon whom the chief burden and confusion of the war fell and who are now most dependent upon the cooperative action of the world. Exports Greatest in History. We are just now shipping more goods out of our ports to foreign markets than we ever shipped before—not foodstuffs merely, but stuffs and materials of every sort; but this is no index of what our foreign sales will continue to be or of the effect the volume of our exports will have on supplies and prices. It is impossible yet to predict how far or how long foreign purchasers will be able to find the money or the credit to pay for or sustain such purchases on such a scale; how soon or to what extent foreign manufacturers can resume their former production, foreign farmers get their customised crops from their own fields; foreign manufacturers take their own output, foreign merchants set up again their old machinery of trade with the ends of the earth. All these things must remain uncertain until peace is established and the nations of the world have concerted the methods by which normal life and industry are to be restored. All that we shall do in the meantime to restrain profitering and put the life of our people upon a tolerable footing will be makeshift and provisional. There can be no settled condition here or slisewhere until the treaty of peace is out of the way and the work of liquidating the war has become the chief concern of our government and of the other governments of the world. Until then business will be feasible speculative and new its way, to gain that, with heavy losses or heavy gains, as it may chance, and the consumer must take care of both the gains and the losses. There can be no peace prices so long as our whole financial and economic system is on a war basis. Europe Must Know Situation. "Europe will not, cannot recoup her capital or put her restless, distracted peoples to work until she knows exactly where she stands in respect to peace; and what we will do is for her the chief question upon which her quietude of mind and confidence of purpose depends. While there is any possibility that the peace terms may be changed or may be held long in abeyance, or may not be enforced because of divisions of opinion among the powers associated against Germany, it is idle to look for permanent relief. Points Out Present Duty. But what we can do we should do, and should do at once. And there is a great deal that we can do, provisionally it be. Wheat shipments and credits to facilitate the purchase of our wheat can and will be limited and controlled in such a way as not to raise but rather to lower the price of flour here. The government has the power, within certain limits, to regulate that. We cannot deny wheat to foreign peoples who are in dire need of it, and we do not wish to do so; but, fortunately, though the wheat crop is not what we want, but it must be handled if handled with provident care. The price of wheat is lower in the United States than in Europe, and with proper management can be kent so. Immediate Relief Measures. By way of immediate relief, surplus stocks of both food and clothing in the hands of the government will be sold and of course sold at prices at which there is no profit. And by way of a more permanent correction of prices surplus stocks in private hands will be drawn out of storage and put upon the market. Fortunately under the terms of the food-control act the hoarding of foodstuffs can be checked and prevented, and they will be drawn out of storage and sold by legal action which the department of justice will institute wherever necessary; but as soon as the situation is systematically dealt with it is not likely that the courts will often have to be resorted to. Much of the accumulating of stocks has no doubt been due to the sort of speculation which always results from uncertainty. Great surpluses were accumulated because it was impossible to foresee what the market would disclose and dealers were determined to be ready for reapierment upon as likely to reap the full advantage of rising prices. They will now see the disadvantage, as well as the danger, of holding off from the new process of distribution. Significant Facts Quoted. Some very interesting and-significant facts with regard to stocks on hand and the rise of prices in the face of abundance have been disclosed by the inquiries of the department of agriculture, the department of labor and the federal trade commission. They seem to justify the statement that in the case of many necessary commodities effective means have been found to prevent the normal operation of the law of supply and demand. It would serve as a useful example to the other communities of this country, as well as greatly reduce local distress if the congress were to regulate all legislation very fully for the District of Columbia, where its legislative authority is without kimit. Would Have Prices Plainly Marked. I would also recommend that it be required that all goods destined for interstate commerce should in every case where their form or package makes it possible be plainly marked with the price at which they left the hands of the producer. Such a requirement would bear a close analogy to certain provisions of the pure food act, by which it is required that certain detailed information be given on the labels of packages of foods and drugs. And it does not seem to me that we could confine ourselves to detailed measures of this kind, if it is indeed our purpose to assume national control of the processes of distribution. I take it for granted that that is our purpose and our duty. Nothing less will suffice. We need not hesitate to handle a national question in a national way. We should go beyond the measures I have suggested. We should formulate in order to ensure all corporations engaged in interstate commerce and embodying in the license, or in the conditions under which it is to be issued, specific regulations designed to secure competitive selling and prevent unconscionable profits in the method of marketing. Law Would Do Much. Such a law would afford a welcome opportunity to effect other much-needed reforms in the business of interstate shipment and in the methods of corporations which are engaged in it; but for the moment I confine my recommendations to the object immediately in hand, which is to lower the cost of living. I add that there is a bill now pending before the congress which, if passed, would do much to stop speculation and to prevent the fraudulent methods of promotion by which our people are annually fleeced of many millions of hard-earned money. I refer to the measure proposed by the capital issues committee for the control of security issues. It is a measure formulated by men who know business and its adoption would serve a great and beneficent purpose. We are dealing, gentlemen of the con- grass, I need hardly say, with very critical and very difficult matters. We should go forward with confidence along the road we see, but we should also seek to comprehend the whole of the scene amidst which we act. There is no ground for state-seasonal sea ice that is interested about me, but the condition of the world is unquestionably very grave and we should face it comprehendingly. The situation of our own country is exceptionally fortunate. We of all peoples can afford to keep our heads and to determine upon moderate and sensible courses of action which will insure us against the passions and distempers which we revolutions such deep unhappiness for some of the distressed nations on the other side of the sea. But we may be involved in their distresses unless we help, and help with energy and intelligence. Disregarding the surplus stock in the hands of the government, there was a greater supply of foodstuffs in this country on June 1 of this year than at the same date last year. In the combined tops of the dry and cold storage the excess is quite 19 per cent. And yet prices have risen. The supply of fresh eggs on hand in June of this year, for example, was greater by nearly 10 per cent than the supply on hand at the same time last year, and yet the wholesale price of eggs was 40 cents a dozen, as against 30 cents a pound. The latter. The supply had increased more than 298 per cent, and yet the prices had risen also from $34½ cents per pound to 37½ cents. The supply of creamy butter had increased 129 per cent and the price from 41 to 53 cents per pound. The supply of salt beef had been augmented 3 per cent and the price had gone up to $34 a barrel to $34 a barrel. Corn had increased stock nearly 52 per cent and had remained substantially the same in price. Few Price Drops Not Enough. In a few foodstuffs the prices had declined, but in nothing like the proportion in which the supply had increased. For example, the stock of canned tomatoes had increased 102 per cent, and yet the price had declined only 25 cents per dozen cans. In some cases there had been the usual result of an increase of price following a decrease of supply, but in almost every instance the increase of price had been disproportionate to the decrease in stock. Law Department Active The attorney general has been making a careful study of the situation as a whole and of the laws that can be applied to better it and is convinced that, under the stimulation and temptation of exceptional circumstances, combinations of producers and combinations of traders have been formed for the control of supplies and of prices which are clearly in restraint of trade, and against these prosionally active pushed which will in all likelihood have a prompt corrective effect. There is reason to believe that the prices of leather, of coal, of lumber and of textiles have been materially affected by forms of concert and co-operation among the producers and marketers of these and other universally necessary commodities which it will be possible to redress. No watchful or energetic effort will be spared to accomplish this necessary result, that there we not be many issues in which the attorney general is necessary. Public action will no doubt cause many who have perhaps unwittingly adopted illegal methods to abandon them promptly and of their own motion. Publicity Will Do Much. And publicity can accomplish a great deal. The purchaser can often take care of himself if he knows the facts and influences he is dealing with, and purchasers are not disinclined to do anything, either singly or collectively, that may be necessary for the GDP. The department of commerce, the department of agriculture, the department of labor and the federal trade commission can do a great deal toward supplying the public systematically and at short intervals, with information regarding the actual supply of particular commodities that is in existence and available with regard to issues that affect consumers with regard to the methods of price fixing which are used by dealers in certain foodstuffs and other necessities. Retailers in Part to Blame. There can be little doubt that retailers are in part—sometimes in large part—responsible for exorbitant prices; and it is quite practicable for the government through the agencies I have mentioned, to supply the public with full information as to the prices at which retailers buy and as to the costs of transportation they pay in order to maintain their market gain of profit they are demanding. Opinion and concerted action on the part of purchasers can probably do the rest. Congress Must Supply Funds. That is, these agencies may perform this indispensable service provided the congress will supply them with the necessary funds to prosecute their inquiries and keep their price lists up to date. Hitherto the appropriation committees of the house have not always, I fear, seen the full value of these inquiries, and the amount of commissions have been very much stratified for means to render this service. That adequate funds be provided by appropriation for this purpose, and provided as promptly as possible, is one of the means of greatly ameliorating the present distressing conditions of livelihood that I come to urge, in this attempt to concert with you the effort to serve the country in this emergency. It is one of the absolutely necessary means, underlying many others, and can be supplied at once. There are many other ways. Existing law is inadequate. There are many perfectly legitimate methods by which the present element can exercise restraint and guidance. Let me urge, in the first place, that the present foodstuff control act should be extended both as to the period of time during which it shall remain in operation and as to the commodities to which it shall apply. It is against boarding should be made to apply not only to food but also to feed stuffs, to fuel, to clothing, and to many other commodities which are indisputably necessities of life. As it stands now it is limited in operation to the period of the war and becomes inoperative upon the formal proclamation of peace. But I should judge that it was clearly within the constitutional power of the congress to make similar permanent provisions and regulations with regard to all goods destined for interstate commerce and to exclude from interstate commerce the requirements of the law are not complied with. Some such regulation is imperatively necessary. The abuses that have grown up in the manipulation of prices by the withholding of foodstuffs and other necessaries of life cannot otherwise be effectively prevented. There can be no doubt of either the necessity or the legitimacy of such measures. May I not call attention to the fact, also, that, although the present act prohibits profitteering, the prohibition is accompanied by no penalty. It is clearly in the public interest that a penalty should be provided which will be persuasive. It would materially add to the serviceability of the law, for the purpose we now have in view, if it were also prescribed that all goods released from stor- age for interstate shipment should have plainly marked upon each package the selling or market price at which they went into storage. By this means the purchaser would always be able to learn what profits stood between him and the producer or the wholesale dealer. The world must pay for the appalling destruction wrought by the great war, and we are part of the world. We must pay our share. For the years now the intl. call Europe has been slack and disordered. The normal crops have not been produced; the normal quantity of manufactured goods has not been turned out. Not until there are the usual crops and the usual production of manufactured goods on the other side of the Atlantic can Europe return to the former conditions; and it was upon the former conditions, not the present, that our economic relations with Europe were built up. We must face the fact that unless we be European faced that natural life and production a chaos will ensue there which will inevitably be communicated to this country. For the present, it is manifest, we must quicken, not slacken, our own production. U. S. Must Hold World Steady We, and we almost alone, now hold the world steady. Upon our steadfastness and self-possession depend the affairs of nations everywhere. It is in this supreme crisis—this crisis for all mankind—that American must prove her mettle. In the presence of a world confused, distracted, she must show herself self-possessed, self-contained, capable of sober and effective action. She saved Europe by her action in arms; she must now save it by her action in peace. In saving Europe she will save herself, as she did upon the battlefields of the war. The calmness and capacity with which she could withstand and overcome the problems of peace will be the final test and proof of her place among the peoples of the world. And, if only in our own interest, we must help the people overseas. Europe is our biggest customer. We must keep her going or thousands of our shops and businesses must be thanked for no such thing as letting her go to ruin without ourselves sharing in the disaster. In such circumstances, face to face with such tests, passion must be discarded. Passion and a disregard for the others have no place in the counsels of our counsellors, not heat, in these solemn times of self-examination and saving action. Must Be No Threats. There must be no threats. Let there be only intelligent counsel, and let the best reasons win, not the strongest brute force. The world has just destroyed the arbitrary force* of a military junta. It will live under no other. All that is arrayman and in the discard. Those who seek to employ it only prepare their own destruction. We cannot hastily and overnight revolutionize all the processes of our economic life. We shall not attempt to do so. These are days of deep excitement and of extravagant speech, but with us these are things of the surface. Everyone who is in real touch with the situation and knows that the old strong fiber and steady self-control are still there, firm against violence or any distempered action that would throw their affairs into confusion. I am serenely confident that they will readily find themselves, no matter what the circumstances, and that they will address themselves to the tasks of peace and security, and stalwart preference for what is right that they displayed to the admiration of the whole world in the midst of war. Sinister Influences at Work. And I enter another confident hope. I have spoken today chiefly of measures of imperative regulation and legal compulsion, of prosecutions and the sharp correction of selfish processes; and these notwithstanding, but there are other forces that we may count on besides those resident in the department of justice. We have just fully awakened to what has been going on and to the influences, many of them very selfish and sinister, that have been producing high prices and imposing an intolerable burden on the mass of our people. To have brought it all into the open will accomplish the greater part of the result we seek. I appeal with entire confidence to our producers, our middlenames and our merchants to deal fairly with the people. It is their opportunity to show that they comprehend that they inadvertently have public interest sincerely at heart. And I have no doubt that housekeepers all over the country, and everyone who buys the things he daily stands in need of will presently exerci- tions in the form of a thoughtful economy, a more discrimin- nating care as to the market in which he buys or the merchant with whom he traded than he has hitherto exer- Labor Must Consider. I believe, too, that the more extreme leaders of organized labor will presently yield to a sober second thought, and like the great mass of their associates, think and act like true Americans. They will see that strikes undertaken at this critical time can make matters worse not better—worse for them and for everybody else. The worst thing, the most fatal thing—that can be done now is to stop or interrupt production, or to interfere with the distribution of goods by the railways and the shipping of the country. We are all involved in the distressing results of the high cost of living and we must unite, not divide, to correct it. There are many things that ought to be corrected in the relations between capital and labor, in respect of wages and conditions of labor and other things even more far-reaching, and I, for one, am ready to go into conference about these matter with any group of my fellow countrymen who know what they are talking about and are willing to remedy existing conditions by frank counsel rather than by violent contest. General Interest First. No remedy is possible while men are in a temper, and there can be no settlement which does not have as its motive and standard the general in- Must All Work Together. Threats and undue insistence upon the interest of a single class, make settlement impossible. I believe, as I have hitherto had occasion to say to the congress, that the industry and life of our people and of the world will suffer irreparable damage if employers and workmen are to go against a perpetual dangerists. They must, on one plan or another, be effectively associated. We have not steadiness and self-possession and business sense enough to work out that result? In the meantime—now and in the days of readjustment and recuperation that are ahead of us—let us resort more and more to frank and intimate counsel and make ourselves a great force in the world. We must selfes a united force in the life of the world. It will not then have looked to us for leadership in vain. WESTERN BEEF CO.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Philippines Must Wait a While for Independence WASHINGTON.—Republican leaders in congress have reached a decision to postpone indefinitely the question of granting independence to the Philippines. The decision of the Republican leaders against consideration of taken until more convincing proof has been offered of the ability of the Filipinos to stand alone and to continue to maintain the institutions of government and education established by the United States which have wrought such beneficent changes in the islands in 20 years. Moreover, it was deemed inadvisable to take a step of such great moment to these wards of the American republic until the equilibrium of world conditions is restored. It is now taken for granted that the question of liberating the Philippines will not be considered seriously until the congressional committees shall have visited the islands and made an exhaustive investigation and report to congress. The Filipino delegation was advised of this status of the matter before leaving Washington, and made no protest. In fact, it transpires that the delegation did not expect to obtain favorable action at this time. The dispatch of the commission by the Philippine legislature was forced by the minority party in the island, which accused the majority party of lack of aggressiveness in seeking independence. Fifty-Fifty Pacific Fleet Is New Naval Policy Fifty-Fifty Pacific Fleet Is New Naval Policy THE departure of the Pacific fleet marks an epoch in American naval history. For the first time the naval force has been divided with exactly half of its power assigned to guard the western seaboard. For the first time also the navy, the New Mexico, Idaho and Mississippi, are headed west. Not since President Roosevelt sent the Atlantic fleet to girdle the globe have the people of California, Oregon and Washington seen in their harbors a more powerful and modern fighting craft than the old hero ship Oregon, long out of date and holding her place on the navy list only because of her valiant record. Beside the 30,000 ton flagship of the Pacific fleet the Oregon will be almost a pigny, and against even the speed of more than 17 knots, which made the old ship queen of the navy for years, Rodman's main fleet, his eight big ships, can maintain about 21 knots for hours at a time, while his destroyers can turn up 35 knots. The sailing of the great fleet marks a complete change in naval policy. Not while the German fleet existed or while German eyes were leveled covetously at the rich and undeveloped resources of South and Central America could American naval strength have been divided. Envoys and Rich Gifts, But—No Queen of Sheba Envoys and Rich Gifts, But—No Queen of Sheba A NOVELTY, even in cosmopolitan Washington, was the presentation the other day to President Wilson of the special envoys of Abyssinia, congratulating him on the successful termination of the war and bearing gifts David and Solomon this government was well known. The queen of Ethiopia, Macada, ruled over all Sheba at that time. She heard of King Solomon and came to listen to his wisdom and see the country, and as she returned to her own dominion she proclaimed the religion of the living God. From that time until Constantine the Great Ethiopia has believed in God according to the laws of the Old Testament. In the time of Constantine Ethiopia became Christian according to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and since that time has fought for her Christianity and independence against the surrounding Mohammedans and heathens. "All the people of Ethiopia, knowing that the United States of America, after securely establishing her own independence, has taken upon herself the wonderful duty of assisting the allies in gaining equal liberty and independence, rejoiced and praised the American people." The gifts included elephant tusks mounted in solid gold, native garments embroidered in jewels, and a gold box containing letters from the empress and her son, the heir apparent. National Guard Must Be Reorganized With Care DETAILS of the plans of the war department for reorganization of the National Guard as approved by Secretary Baker disclose that the states may organize up to their full limit if they desire, but in so far as federal aid is concerned, they may only recruit at. during the great war. To achieve that end it will be necessary that the regulations be fully compiled with, and the requirements for admission in the National Guard both for officers and enlisted men fully observed. "The appointment of officers and enlistment of men who are not suitable for active field service, either for professional or personal reasons, or who would not be able to participate completely and fully in a federal call, will serve only to lower the military efficiency of the National Guard as a whole. The war department requests the earnest co-operation of the several states and territories in making the National Guard an effective force during the period of its reorganization."

And for the first time Americans of the far West are to see with their own eyes the full pump and power of the navy that has been their pride for years. The main base of the Pacific fleet will be in Puget sound, Washington. The composition of the Pacific fleet tells its own story. The three most modern ships of the line in the navy, the New Mexico, Idaho and MIS President Roosevelt sent the Atlantic fleet of California, Oregon and Washington, and modern fighting craft than the old holding her place on the navy list only the 30,000 ton flagship of the Pacific fleet and against even the speed of more than queen of the navy for years, Rodman maintain about 21 knots for hours at a 35 knots.

If concerned they may only recruit at present up to 200 men for each senator and representative. In emergency the maximum organization could be increased to 800 men for each senator and representative. In a circular letter Secretary Baker says: "It is the desire of the war department to re-establish the National Guard on a firm and efficient basis and to obtain in the commissioned and enlisted grades a maximum of men with service in the United States army during the great war. To achieve that nations be fully compiled with, and the National Guard both for officers and en "The appointment of officers and e for active field service, either for pro would not be able to participate comp serve only to lower the military efficiency The war department requests the earn and territories in making the National period of its reorganization." the Filipinos' plea for independence followed the recent hearing accorded the Phillipine commission at a joint session of the house and senate committees on insular affairs. It transpired that few, if any, of the Republican or Democratic members of those committees had been sufficiently impressed by the representations of the delegates to take a stand in favor of freeing the islands at this time. The general conclusion was that no step in this direction should be It has been offered of the ability of the Filimaintain the institutions of government United States which have wrought such years.

HELPFUL HINTS. To the average cook with little imagination and less ingenuity a bowl of chicken broth, a half-dozen cold boiled potatoes, a cupful of tomato, a wedge of cheese will appear like "the primrose upon the river's brim, a simple primrose it was to him, and it was nothing more." It is nether possible nor is it or chicken broth, a hard dozen cold boiled potatoes, a cupful of tomato, a wedge of cheese will appear like "the primrose upon the river's brim, a simple primrose it was to him, and it was nothing more." It is notther possible nor is it wise to carry a large number of recipes or proportions of ingredients in one's mind, but the efficient woman will have a card index, a "notebook or a chart on which she notes the possibilities of various small amounts of materials which in other homes are thrown out, left to spoil or are used carelessly in foods so that their charm of flavor is lost. The pleasant thing about this system is that it is always growing, new dishes will occur to one and the list will grow. Then when going to the ice chest and finding a bowl of chicken broth, visions of all the savory dishes which may be seasoned with that savory food will be realized in some good dish, as it takes but a moment to turn to the recipe. Another helpful convenience of the card catalogue idea is to have the system carried out in other ways in the household. Under linens put cards labeled "bed linen," on the card numbers of sheets, pillowslips, size and where they are. This is not only a convenience when absent to pass on, but in case of fire loss to give a correct inventory. Attached to the medicine closet should be a card always where it can be found at once, especially where there are many little people, giving first aids in case of accident and antidotes for common poisons. The older children should be taught how to use this knowledge, as often lives are lost because nobody knew what to do quickly. It is a frequently noted fact that the people who know what to do or where to go to find out, rarely take time to go into hysteries in an emergency; they are too busy doing things. Start a card catalogue house and see what a pleasure it is to be methodical. It is not necessary to have an expensive filing cabinet. We invite what we fear, the same as by different attitude of mind we invite and attract the influences and conditions we desire.—R. W. Trine. SUMMER SALAD WITH DRESSINGS We all enjoy something different in salads and the ingenious cook is ever combining new materials to make appetizing dishes. ```markdown ``` appetizing dishes. Virginia Salad. —Cut cold cooked potato in cubes, using one and a half cupfuls, add one cooked cauliflower cut in flow eretters and three tomatoes cut in quarters. Marinate each of these vegetables separately in French dressing, using four tablespoonfuls of olive oil and two of tarragon vinegar, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of pepper sauce and half a teaspoonful of salt. Cut one and one-half cupfuls of chicken in cubes, three hard-cooked eggs cut in small pieces and mix with the marinated potato, with mayonnaise seasoned with catsup. Place the chicken mixture in the center of the dish, cover with tomato mayonnaise and garnish with cauliflower and lettuce with one tomato arranged alternately. Decorate with one hard-cooked eggs, cut in eighths, and nasturtium seeds. Tomato Jelly Salad—Take two cupfuls of tomato juice, either fresh or canned; to it add one-fourth cupful of mild vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of gelatin, a tablespoonful of sugar, bit of bayleaf, leaves from two stalks of celery, two slices of onion and one and one-half tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Stir and cook over heat until the gelatin is dissolved, then strain. Set jelly in crushed ice and when it begins to stiffen, add fresh raw dandelion leaves cut in bits. Mold the jelly; when firm turn out on a platter and garnish with cooked egg, green pepper and scallions which have been cut in pieces and fringed at each end, then put into ice water to curl. Cabbage may be used instead of dandelion leaves. Joe's Dressing.—Take one teaspoonful each of salt and mustard, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, a dash of cayenne, a whole egg, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of corn oil, half a cupful of evaporated milk, one-fourth cupful each of vinegar and water. Mix the dry ingredients and then cook all together in a double boiler. Hot Salmon With Egg Sauce.—Set the can of salmon in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for half an hour. Cut the can close; drain off the liquid and turn out the fish in a solid piece on a hot dish. Surround with well seasoned buttered peas, and serve with an egg sauce. This is a rich white sauce, using some of the liquid from the can and milk, then add one hard-cooked egg mashed, and put through a sieve. Garnish with parsley. Nerie Maxwell Attention!

A NEW BLOUSES FOR COLLEGE GIRLS © Western Newspaper Union UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD "When in doubt choose a jersey," is good advice if a new suit must be bought in the late summer. Certain of the arbiterts of style are devoted to this fabric and it is always represented among the new models in suits that make their appearance as regularly as spring or fall approach. It led the way for many of the new silk weaves and silk fiber materials that have embraced on its popularity for summer wear, but in wool it remains an ideal semi-season material. Its softness and its unmuscled quality, together with the fine way in which it stands cleaning, are strong points in its favor, altogether, the wool jersey suit is a good thing to own. Two models are shown above that will be particularly interesting to young women who must be outfitted now for school or college. The smart suit at the left foretells the cool days of autumn with a collar and scarf of angora, and has an original feature or two that catch the attention. The skirt is wider and shorter than those that appeared in the spring and has a wide, overlapping seam down the back. It is gathered in about the waist line and finished with two bands wide braid about the hem. The NEW BLOUSES FO In our largest centers of fashion the lovely summer is brief and we are not allowed a chance to forget that it is so. In the heart of it, by the time August arrives, a new array of fall clothing is presented and preparations for fall outfitting well underway; all for the benefit of young women who will be returning to school or college and school children getting back to their desks in September. Not that anyone comes out in wintry apparel, or even a hint of it, but new suits and hats, blouses and skirts are all on display so that when the time comes to wear them styles are established and women know what they want. Two new aspirants for favor, among models of fall blouses, are shown in the picture. They ought to please the college girl for their style is suited to her, and they are excellent enough to compel the attention of the most sophisticated dresser. A little study of the new blouses reveals neat effects in trimming as an outstanding feature in them. Fine tucks, run in parallel rows, with beautiful precision and evenness, feather stitching and other simple needle work, very accurately placed, are the favorite decorations for them. The blouse at the left of the picture shows the effectiveness of tucks and plats in a model that is made of georgette crepe. It is a slippery style, extended eight or ten inches below the waist and confined at the waistline with a narrow sash made --- cont is straight, closing up the front and split at the sides. A wider band of braid across the back panel emphasizes the fact that it is longer than the front, and the long fringed scarf slips through straps set on at each side. There, and a plain belt that buttons in the middle of the back, are new details of making that are clever and attractive. A blue suit at the right of the picture follows closely the style that has been so successful during the summer, with plain skirt and jacket with vest front. This skirt also is wider than those of the passing season, but among those that hesitate to grow shorter. The collar and cuffs are ornamented with a braid that simulates embroidery and a band of it heeds the set-in pockets at each side. A girdle with looped-over ends, finished with long silk pendants, matches the braid used for decoration, and a vest of American Beauty fiber silk provide a happy ending to the simple story of this youthful model in between-seasons suits. The taffeta hats shown with them are of just the same character—that is, they are neither of summer nor winter, but of the times or climate between. R COLLEGE GIRLS WOMEN'S UNION UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD of the georgette. The round neck with split at the front is bordered with a band of dark crepe that extends down the shoulders and is marked off into squares by stitchings of silk floss. It fastens at the throat with a single loop and button. There are clusters of tucks above the hem and waistline and about the sleeves and fine side plaits at each side of the front panel. The blouse at the right, of fine white volle, has a wide plait down the front and wide clusters of narrow tucks at each side. Its collar and cuffs are covered with tucks and edged with a narrow, substantial lace. It fastens at the front under the plait and is not extended below the waistline. Whatever else may be in store for us in new blouses, we cannot hope for anything more tasteful and elegant than these. Julie Bottomly Inlay Vases for Lamps. A lovely lamp can be made up from a bronze vase, with cloisonne inlay, and a shade of some Japanese silk. The shade, if the inlay is in a distinct pattern, is better of a plain silk, with gold fringes and tasseels. Sometimes, however, a parchment shade, decorated with a simple design in oils, is suitable with the cloissonne vase. Elsie Takes Command By WILL T. AMES (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) A ferry boat load of the shipyard men piled poll-mell over the wharf, across the railroad trucks and onto the main thoroughfare of the town, at the foot of which lay the makeshift slip. They were roughly clad and grimy and strong, and, many of them, hard-looking. There had been a crap game on the boat coming over and it had not gone smoothly. Three of the men among the thousand showed the marks of it, for they were more or less bloody and still white with anger. The three, each with a friend or two, stopped at the saloon at the foot of the street to wash off the stains of the row. The rest of the workers paid no heed but hurried on homeward. There was little laughter or joking. What conversation there was among them was unsmiling and it was plain to be seen that the yeast of discontent was at work. At the street corner two blocks from the wharf a girl stood by the curb, watching the passing throng and looking for some one. By and by she caught sight of a tall, toughly fashioned young fellow with thick hair that looked flaxen by contrast with his sun-burned skin. He sped the girl at the same instant, said a brief word to the companions of the moment, and stopped beside her, automatically reaching out for the bundles she carried. The girl's eyes were shining. "What lo you know, Billy? I found a place! in honest-to-gooodness apartment. Mrs. Ells heard about a couple that are going out of town—somebody she knows. She's a good old thing, after all, Billy, and she went right down there and got them to keep still about it till we could get a chance at the place. "I've been down today and engaged t. It's an old house, Billy, but there's three rooms and a bath—and only one other family, the folks that own it; they live downstairs. I guess they're boosting the rent two or three dollars. But we should worry—with your pay, it's our lucky day, isn't it, Billy?" But Billy Noxon didn't respond to the happy mood of his young wife nearly as she had anticipated. While Elsie lay in wait for him there she had expected that he would throw up his hat and shout. Places to live—really live and keep house like regular civilized people—were simply unobtainable in the town. The Noxons had been "light housekeeping" in a single room for four months, like hundreds of others. "Don't know as there's any use in russing about it, Chick," the boy finally replied soherly. "We're likely to have to get to blazes out of this man's town any time now. The gang's pretty sore, and they're likely to tie a can, any time at all, to the bunch of grafters that are running the tea kettle factory over the river." "What do you mean, Billy Noxon—I strike?" "It's a heap sight more than just me strike, when the blowoff comes. The working man has been carrying the tar end of the stick about as long as he's going to in this country. Here's you and me living like a couple of burns in a coop of a roca and me weating my hide off over there on those hulls—and a lot of leafers that don't hit a ship a lick from the time he's doped out till she's overboard, and haven't even got a dollar of their own money in the plant, pulling down millions. "Living in palaces and dressing their vives in thousand-dollar furs and swelling around in limousines and playing golf while we play on a rivet gun—and all off us! All stolen from the working man and his family! And hen, when we hit them for a lousy dollar a day raise, to help pay for the profiteering prices on the grub we eat, they give us the hoot!" Elsie was looking very steadily and studiously at her big husband. "Well?" she said, as he ran out of breath. "Well," Billy resumed, "it's about all over, sis. There's going to be something doing, and that right quick. I lunno's it worth while for us to change from one room to three. Maybe we'll be in the middle of a hard-bolled shindy in a week or two—and either have some kind of a decent share in things or nothing at all. Death's better than slavery." The boy stared goomily at a passing touring car. The girl was about an inch above five feet—her husband about an inch above six. Her eyes had been growing bigger and bigger as she listened to his dour speech. Now she selzed him by the arm and said: "Billy Nox-on, you come home with me, straight. "And don't you speak—or even think—a word till I tell you to." The somber face of the boy thawed into a sheepish grin as he permitted himself to be marshaled along six city blocks to the place where they lived in Mrs. Ellis' furnished second floor back. Not until they were in their room, with the door closed behind them did Elsie speak again. "Now," she declared taking the bundles from Milly and putting them on the table. I've got something to say to you, you big boob! You've been listening to those learned bolsheviks again! You sit down there and answer me a couple of questions;" and she pushed her mushard into the limpy-legged morris hair. "First—How much money did we have after two years when we quit Roxbury and came here? We had $140, didn't we? We've been here four months, and how much have we got? We've got $480 of new money, that's what we've got. And it's clean money, Billy, honestly earned. I'd rather have that than a million that was grafted. We're not getting along so badly. Maybe somebody else is getting a whole lot more that doesn't deserve it half as much. But I guess these things will be straightened out if fellows like you don't go looney and spoil everything. Anyhow, you never had so much money ahead in your life Billy Noxon, and I know it. "Now, who's the head devil over there at the yard in getting up all this I. W. W. sentiment? Is it a black-muszled fellow they call Sanderson?" "Well, Saunderson's the smartest, most independent man in the yard, if that's what you mean, and not afraid to speak his mind. The fellows listen to him because he's there with the goods." "I thought so. I sat behind him and some other archists in a street car yesterday, when he ought to have been at work, and I know what he thinks. I heard him tell the man with him that it was about time the 'boorzhwa' was kept from monopolizing everything, including the 'most beautiful and desirable wives'—that's exactly what he said, Billy Noxon!" "Well," responded Billy, rather doubtfully, "he meant that a working man can't compete with a rich one for a girl, when he can't send her flowers and give her buzz-car rides and such things." "Billy, you're a simp. He meant—because he said so—that the women ought to be nationalized. Understand that? Made the property of the men equally, like the food and the clothes and the houses and automobiles! He said it was too early to spring that idea yet, but it would surely come." Billy tried to say something, but the little wife kept on. "Billy, I didn't tell you before, but twice that black devil has tried to pick me up on the street. Yesterday when he got up to leave the car he grinned at me and winked, and he said out of the corner of his mouth as he passed: 'Pretty peach!' Billy Noxon, do you want me nationalized—for Saunderson? Are you for the bolsheviks or for me?" Billy Noxon found Saunderson in the yard next day, and hammered him for five minutes. He told him that he'd lick him every time he saw him. Wherefore, Saunderson is now agitating elsewhere, and there hasn't been any strike in the yard. Maybe everything is not exactly as it should be as between labor and capital, but as between Billy and Elsie, bolshevism hasn't a look-in. PARAVANE PROVED ITS WORTH No Vessel Protected by That Contri vance Is Known to Have Been Sunk by Mines. The oddity of the word "paravane," as it now reaches the general public, shows how well an important secret was kept during the historic years 1917-18. During those years the invention, perfected at Portsmouth, England, was added to some 4,000 British vessels, and no case is known in which a ship thus protected was damaged by a sunken mine. Towed under water on both sides of the bow the paravane, shaped like a kite, met the mooring wire of the sunken mine, deflected the hidden menace to a safe distance from the ship, severed its mooring, and left it free to come to the surface where it could be exploded by gun fire. Seamen naturally enough soon came to speak of the paravanes as "otters," and they enabled many a vessel to travel safely through mine-infested waters. Several hundred American ships had been thus equipped at the signing of the armistice, and it is a pleasing thought that the cessation of hostilities saved about $10,000,000 which the United States meant to spend in providing paravanes for American shipping. Would Return the Favor. Some years ago there was a Fourth of July celebration at a town in northern New York, where my father was pastor of a church. During the day several out of town couples came to the parsonage to be married, and one husky bridegroom as soon as the knot was tied, asked: "What are the damages?" Father replied that he made no particular charge for marrying people, but left the amount to the generosity of the groom. "Thank you," said the young man, "I'll do as much for you sometime," and walked out, leaving us all convulsed with laughter, but when they reached the street the bride would go no farther until "hubby" came back and handed the minister a $2 bill.—Exchange. Size of Ocean Waves. The size of the Atlantic ocean waves has been carefully measured for the hydrographic bureau, Washington. In height the waves usually average about 30 feet, but in rough weather they attain from 40 to 48 feet. During storms they are often from 500 to 600 feet long and last ten to eleven seconds, while the longest one yet known measured half a mile, and did not spend itself for 23 seconds. Quest of Novelty. "Henry, I must have a motorcycle that is unlike anybody else's." "I don't see how we are going to arrange that, my dear. Most of the available models seem to be in use. However, we might persuade a manufacturer to build a car to order shaped like a bee hive, and you could buzz around in that."—Birmingham Age. Herald. THE OLD RELIABLE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO.
