IN BLACK AND WHITE.


But now for a word concerning black
and white lawn dresses. Too much can
not be said nor written in their favor
Moreover in consideration of the chic
air of elegance they bear. small expense
need be encountered, and for girls of Is
they are as appropriate as for women
of 40. Avery pretty one is sketched
with a rufiied skirt. Here the petticoat
itself is of snow white swiss over a
clear white silk slip, and two deep
muslin flounces, set on in pronounced
curves, are both edged and headed
with pretty imitation of black chan
tilly. over the waist of white silk
many bands of muslin are drawn, each
one edged with narrow black lace, and
fastened each at the top of the rich
black taffeta girdle with a skeleton
button of cut steel.
The nearest rival to this study in
black and white is the picturesque little
suit in the large sketch. illustrating the
best use of narrow black velvet ribbon
on white lawn. Over a white, rose,
green or blue silk slip this gown can
be used. and its hat of white chip,
enveloped in masses of black silk mus

Joliet Ills. May 2S.-George Sage, a
granddaughter of Russell Sage, is dead
in the Will county poor house of con-
sumption. George was a son of Eiizur
Sage. who some time ago borrowed $50
from his uncle, Russell Sage, giving as
security therefor a mortgage on his
home. In their efforts to pay back this
money Elizur Sage and his wife were
almost at the verge Of starvation, and
finally it was resolved to send George,
hopelessly i'll, to the poor house, where
he could receive some medical atten-
ton. The mortgage was paid a few
DAYS ago. and yesterday George died.

at the meeting of members of the Melon
Growers Association and others held on
Monday last the house was called to or
der by A. b. Wallis Kouns was
elected chairman and A. B. Wallis, sec
retary.
After considerable discussion OF the
proposition motion was passed appoint
ing W. @. Steele, G. W. Fenlason and A.
B. Wallis incorporators for the first year,
who shall also be directors.
Two additional directors for the first
wear were elected-A. Nicholes and s. l..
Lester. eor ooo
THE three incorporators were named as
a committee on bylaws.
The more the ice proposition is consid-
ared tie more important it becomes.
This fact accounts for the increase OF the
capital stock from $4,000 to S25,00O. A
large ice and cold storage plant will play
a yery important part in the future, pros.
ner,ty Of the valley farmers and fruit
Growers. The members OF the Melon
Growers' Association do well to plan
largely in this matter.

Rocky Ford's Attractiveness an Ex-
ample.

A correspondent OF the Fowler Tribune,
after urging the importance Of united ef-
fort in securing needed improvements,
says:
.Will we make Fowler desirable
neighborhood in which to live, and
thus surround ourselves with a su-
perior class OF people, or will We by
neglect and indifference or by con-
tinuing the "charity slot" policy
let Rocky Ford have the people with
means and our own section fill up
with the drift from western Kansas,
who haven't a surplus dollar in the
world, and are not likely to have?"
People with means" will travel long
distance before they find more desira-
bic locality than Rocky Ford in which to
make desirable homes.

An Arkansas Valley Exhibit at Omaha

Geo. H. Taylor has communication
in recent Issue Of the Chieftain rela-
tive to the Arkansas valley having an OK
hibit OF its own ut tho Omaha exhibition
next year. He says:
"It seems to mo that tho strongest
possible reason for this lies in the dis
tinctive natural features OF the Arkansas
valley which make it peculiarly the most
important agricultural area on all the
eastern slope OF the Rocky mountains,
not within tho state OF Colorado alone,
but up and down the entire mountain
chain ms far us irrigation development
has proceeded III what is known us tho
arid region. A very little thought and
study given to tho subject OF commercial
growth is sufficient to make evident to
anybody the fact that commercial devel-
opment follows favorable natural condi-
tions and special natural advantages,
md than no amount OF booming or Of
advertising will build up metropolis or
u populous aud prosperous community
where the native situation and natural
resources are wanting. This means in
other words that state boundaries and
county boundaries are purely arbitrary
lines, made for political md government
tai purposes, and have nothing whatever
to do with the natural and geographical
subdivisions that make climate, soil and
undevcloped wealth and accessibility to
the same, the peculiar advantage OF such
geographical subdivision.
The geographical subdivision known
as the Arkansas valley is natural area
OF fertile and irrigable land that is quite
distinctive on the eastern slope OF the
Rocky mountains. and it is no more re-
lated to the rest OF the state OF Colorado
as to the mining resources OF the mount
aims than it il to New Mexico on the
south or Wyoming on the north or Utah
on the west Its distinctive value lies
in it's being the Arkansas valley, not n
part OF the state OF Colorado, and this
fact can not be distinctively brought out
exhibit OF the state"

-Ths rumored s,lit Of Kansas farmers

Inc pumored suit Of Kansas farmers
against Rocky Ford irrigation companies
has been shown mp to have no founda-
ton whatever. Our feilov-citixeu, John
4. Goildina, has been investigating the
matter and finds that the origin OF the
report was in the efforts of coterie OF
attorneys At Wichita to induce Kansas
farmers and others interested to put up
tho money nesessasy Tor the commence.
msnt Of . suit. From Is to 20 farmers
IN tho vicinity OF Wichita have agreed to
join in the suit but as tho amount sub.
scribed by them is not sufficient no steps
have been takcn. An effort was made to
induce the loan companies interested to
subscribe to the fund without success.
We presume that lawyers can be found
who will bring any kind Of suit desired
provided the money Is in sight for
their fees. But In this case tho chances
for any measure Of success are SO utterly
hopeless that the Wichita lawyers arc
unable to pull the wool over the eyes OF
enough Kansas farmers TO make even
start in the litigation. The legal lights
pf Wichita must be hard up for legiti-
mate business.

1t il swfully bard to please all the
people nll the time. For ten years it
has been the ambition Of the Rocky Ford
country to raise large and profitable
crops and tell the world about it that new
mtixsps might be attracted, tho country
thickly settled and lands advanced in
value. The newspapers have been useful
in spreading. information of the agricul-
tural successes OF the valley, but some OF
our citizens think they have been over
doing this line OF eratuitious advertising
The fertile soil OF Rocky Ford, under the
lnbor Of our snterprising farmers, has
produced crops OF such magnitude and
profit that the newspapers are advised to
suppress the facts lest other localities in
the valley start in the same lines OF in
dustry and become competitions in our
acknowledged spec,alties. But such a
brilliant agricultural light is not to be
hid under bushel. even il there was no
newspapers 8 to spread the fncts. Those
of our citizens who fear the results
Of new composition, are. we think.
borrowing trouble. There are cus-
toners enough for all OF the prob
able products OF the valley, provided the
marketing is done with bushes prudence.
In order to get fair returns for produce
there must be harmony and cooperation
between the Rocky Ford Melon Growers
Association and other organizations now
forming in the valley which We have no
Doubt will be accomplished.
