The irrigation exhibit which Colo
RADIO will install at the Worlds Fair
will be modelled after the great work
now going on in the northeastern part
of Montrose county. The Gunnison
river cuts across the corner of Montrose
county from Gunnison to Delta county,
flowing through "A canon. The river
is to be damned in this canon and a
tunnel several miles long is being driv
en- through the mountain on the west
side of the river. 1t will emerge on
the west side of the mountain far
above the now arid lands lying along
the east side of the Denver q Rio
Grande railroad. Here the water
will be run into great storage reser-
voirs and thence to irrigation bitches.
Nearly one hundred thousand acres
that are now barren will be made to
grow several crops year by means
of this new and abundant supply of
water. This exhibit will show to the
Worlds Fair visitor how the desert
lands are being put under agriculture
not only in Colorado but in many
states and territories. Governor
James b. Orman visited the World s
Fair site last week to inspect the
building operations and to see the
plot chosen for the Colorado building.
Governor Orman is chairman of the
Colorado commission.

GET BUsYI

The motto, Get Busy, adopted
by the executive committee of the
Elks' street fair and carnival to be
held in this city during the last week
in August, conveys thought that
should apply not only to the com
mittee, nor to the Elks alone, but to
every citizen who takes pride in the
success of Florence enterprises.
1t is no small matter to conduct an
entertainment of this nature, and
bring it to successful end. 1t is
true that the local lodge of Elks stands
behind the enterprise, but the people
of Florence must also bear portion
of the responsibility. They must also
get busy and assist in the boosting act :.
The merchants will derive consider
able direct benefit from the fair, and
it will also prove splendid advertise
ment for the city. 1t is popular
movement and the only thing for all
to do is TO get busy and let everybody
far and wide know that we are to have
an Elks Street Fair the last week in
August

/ found 1t waiting when got here"
The fact is as sad as it is true that the
baby finds the tear waiting to dull its
blue eyes, and stain its soft cheeks. AT
the first it "has no language but cry"
Its one necessity is but to give express
sion to its suffering, and for that tear
suffices.
The mother who stoops in anguish
over the wailing child would do any
thing to ease its suffering. But she is
helpless. The time when she could have
done so much for her child is past. She
did not realize that in those anxious
nervous days when she shrank from the
ordeal of motherhood she was preparing
suffering for the baby.
The path of motherhood is soothed
and made easy for those who use Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t gives
physical buoyancy and mental bright
ness. 1t tranquilizes the nerves, en-
courages healthy appetite and induces
refreshing sleep. 1t gives the mother
strength for her hour of trial, and the
confidence and content which come
from strength 1t makes the birth hour
practically painless, and by increasing
the natural, food secretions, it enables the
healthy mother to enjoy the happiness
of nursing her child.

THE DANISH ISLANDS,

The refusal of the Danish Lands
thing to ratify the treaty of cession of
the Danish West Indies to the United
States does not necessarily mean that
the negotiations are at an end, though 1t
does mean that they have been tenn
porarily suspended. They may be
taken up again at a later date, when
there have been changes in the men,
bership of the Landsthing. Meanwhile
the offer of this country holds good. it
is understood. so that if Denmark
should change her mind, she could
still find a market for her islands.
The opposition to the sale seems to
have been largely sentimental and
somewhat political. Some of the anti
sale advocates were averse to reducing
the area of Danish territory; others
cared nothing for that consideration,
but desired to embarrass the govern
ment. Between these two influences
the treaty failed by tie vote-S2 to
80. Since so few votes are needed to
change the result. it may be that the
treaty viii be taken up again before
a great while.
For a number of years the Danish
West Indies have been source Of ex-
pense to the home government Their
revenues are not sufficient to pay their
running expenses. This condition of
affairs has become rather tiresome to
a great many OF the Danish taxpay-
ers. Furthermore. the Danish gov
eminent is in need of cash. The sum
1t would receive from the United
States as purchase money for the ISL
ands would very materially assist in
helping the government over a hard
place and ease a strained financial sit
uation. Denmark, as matter of fact,
has more to gain by the sale than have
the United States. We do not really
need the islands, but having taken the
position, in support OF the Monroe Doc
trine, that no foreign government will
be permitted to purchase them, we
shall have to stand ready. as a mat
ter of justice to Denmark, to make
the purchase ourselves at such time as
she may be willing to sell. Meanwhile
our position with respect to the APP
plication of the Monroe Doctrine has
been made perfectly clear to other ma
tons.

apartment is charming, rejecting its
owners tastes at every turn. a por-
trait of Mr.. Arthur Symons hangs over
