MRS. DOvEY'S
PRIZE PLATE
VIZ HEN Mrs. Dewey first went to
To-, hA

WI HEN Mrs Dewey first went to
wv housekeeping in her pretty new
home the plate rail became her fetish.
At first its yawning emptiness somewhat
dismayed her, for all of the dishes which
constituted her limited supply were need
ed for the actual serving of her dainty
dinners, and not one plate could be
spared to pose in aristocratic idleness
on the black oak rail that separated a
stratum of blue buckram from another
layer of tapestried foliage on the walls
of her dining room.
At last she devised-a happy plan, and
.old it to Mr.. Dewey as they were finish
ing up coy little supper, which was de-
lightful enough to put an ogre in pleas
ant humof.
Now DEAR" she said, I'VE must give
each other plates whenever we want to
make little gifts. for this plate rail looks
dreadful now, and it really must be filled
up before the dining room will be half
complete. Let's see! Why can't we each
give the other plate next week for our
anniversary"
Fine plan," assented her husband la
conically. you give me plates and let
me pick out my own neckties. I'd rather
trust your taste in chinaware."
So in this way the matter was ar
ranged. Plates we're the order of the day,
aud every pretext for the giving of gifts
meant that a new plate or two would be
added to the rapidly growing collection.
Small economies on the part of Mrs.
Dewey were all turned plateward, and
she frequently treated herself to new
plate as the result of foregoing visitto
the matinees of a luncheon down town.
When it came to Mrs. Dovey's turn to
entertain her card club, the plate rail
was thing of beauty, and the prospecti-

The Frost season at Hand.
To Fruit Growers. Agrlculturists and
Gardeners -


To Fruit Growers, Agriculturists and
Gardeners:
The period between April l and
May 10 is usually termed the frost
season in the Grand valley. Our rec
ords show that the average date of
the last killing frost in spring is An
ril IL, and that the latest frosts on
record during the past Is years oc-
CURED on April IS. 1892 and 1900.
and on April 80, 1895.
During the season the weather bu-
reau will issue frost warnings at in
tervals as the weather conditions
warrant, and these will be given the
widest possible distribution.
The warmth of rapidly approach
ing spring is quickening vegetation.
and an effort is being made by all
interested parties. both in the city OF
Grand Junction and the surrounding
districts, to work along cooperative
lines. but on much larger scale
than last spring, for the prevention
of damage by frost TO fruit buds. gar
den truck and other produce.
The systematic effort of last spring
and its results, together with the
known benefits derived from smudg-
ing in California. should appeal very
strongly for the adoption of preven-
tive methods to diminish any possible
damage by frost. particularly during
the blooming and fertilizing period.
You are therefore invited and re-
quested to give both yourselves and
your neighbors the benfit of con
certed effort this spring To this

the event of frost temperatures pre-

This office will be opened for bust
ness at any necessary time for COM
parison of temperatures. as was done
last spring. and the necessity for
smudging will be determined after
consultation by telephone with all in
terested parties up and down the val
ley.
Damp smudges serve two-fold
purpose
First. To diminish the radiation
of heat. The cloud Of smoke tends
to prevent loss OF heat into the out
er regions, as would be the case
should the sky be clear. As is we'll
known, ordinary cloudy weather. ev-
en- though the clouds may be high,
acts in the same capacity
Second. If frost or freezing tenn
peratures occur, to prevent rapid
melting and evaporation after sun
rise. Thus the smudges should CON
tinue until well after sunrise, say 9
am.

containing a number of reports from
selected stations will be published

there can be no overflow above the
