DID YOU KNOW 1T?

Ten years ago farmer put his
initials on a dollar, went to town
and spent it with "A merchant. Be-
fore the year was out he got the
dollar back. Four times in six
years the dollar came back to him
fer produce and three times he
heard of it in the pockets of his
neighbors. The last time he got
it, four years ago, he sent it to a
mail order house. He has not
seen that dollar since and never
will. That dollar will never pay
and school or road tax for him,
will never build up or brighten
the homes of the community. He
sent it entirely out of the circle of
usefulness to himself. .-Arapahoe

MISTAKEN IDEAS

Everybody in Colorado has been
talking Of the fine, open weather
which has prevailed for weeks with
but little snow falling since the
big October storm. Some appre-
hension is already manifest regard
ing the sufficiency of irrigating
water for the coming seasons
crops. A general impression pre-
walls among many people that
snow, falling any time after the
first of the year, does little good
in storing water for irrigation, but
this is a mistaken idea. Condi-
tions at the time of the fall and
Immediately after, are quite apt
to cause "A January or even Feb

first months of winter the temper
ature in the mountains is not as
low as later and the snow is more
apt to pack and ice is formed

summer Quite frequently the
temperature during the first
months of the year is nearly the
same as earlier in the fall. Warm
days, followed by cold nights, are
the results and when the snow

the benefits derived are the same
as earlier in the season. So those
who are saying that these SHOWS

SECRET OF GOOD MANNERS.
Chiefly Combination of Good Sense
and Good Nature.

A friend of yours and mine has
very Justly defined good breeding to
be "the result of much good sense.
good nature and little self-denial for
the sake Of others, and with a view
to obtain the same indulgence from
them. Taking this for granted--as
| think it cannot be disputed - it is
astonishing to me that anybody who
has good sense and good nature can
essentially fail in good breeding. As
to the modes of it, indeed, they vary
according to persons, places and cir
cumstances and are only acquired by
observation and experience, but the
substance of it is everywhere and
eternally the same. Good manners
are to part lar societies what good
morals are to society in general
their cement and security. And as
laws are enacted to enforce good
morals or at least to prevent the Ill
effects of bad ones, SO there are GET
tain rules of civility, universally Inn
piled and received to enforce good
manners and punish bad ones. -

innovation Instituted Under the ri.
rection of Col. Howe to Supply
Need of Larger Liberty for
Graduate Class.

No fraternities are permitted in the
United States military academy at
West Point and for this reason there
has always been an apparent lack of
sophistication and self-reliance on
the part of the senior class at the
time of graduate. Denied the privil-
eyes of free social intercourse with
one another, save such as was per-
mitted in common with all the other
classes of the academy, there has
been no opportunity of developing
that degree of self-reliance which Is
so essential to the cadet when he
gets out from under the rigid lis lip,
line of the academy after graduation
and mingles with men. To those who
have studied the conditions it has
been recognized that to hold the cadet
to the same rigid order of discipline
through his entire course left him in
measure unequal to the broader
freer manner of life which was to
follow graduation, and for this reason
the first, or senior, class has with
the beginning of the new year been
permitted to organize club. A
large room in the academic building
has been fitted up as a comfortable
reading, writing and recreation room
for the exclusive use of the men of
the first class.
For many years it has been the
desire Of the authorities to differen.
tiate the senior class from the rest
Of the corps and at the same time to
adhere to the disciplinary require.
ments of the academy. The problem
has been of particular interest to the
present commandant OF cadets, Col.
Robert L. Howe, and he has under
taken its solution in part by the es.
tablishment of this club.
The working hours of the cadet be-
gin at 7:15 a. M, at which time he
has put his room in order, has had
his breakfast and is ready for study
and recitation. From that hour until
ten p. m. his time is occupied with
official duties, with the exception of
about an hour and half, divided
into two or three periods. With the
exception of these periods he is re-
quired to remain in his room prepar-
ing himself for recitation.
The radical feature of the new
club is the privilege accorded the
men of the first class of visiting 1t
whenever they may choose in the
study hours. They are permitted to
spend as much time in the club as
they may desire and to employ that
time as they see fit. No restrictions
are placed on them in this respect,
except that the existing standards OF

TWO GOOD SALADS
HOTEL CHEF TELLS HOW THEY
SHOULD BE MADE.
Mayonnaise, Properly Prepared, Is Per
haps the King of All-Cucumber
Combination, and italian Sal
ads Are Good.

"Ah the mayonnaise, many make
it and very few know how said l..
Delvaux, chef at the Hotel Baltimore.
Few know how" he continued.
Housewives and cooks generally are
interested in salads and dressings.
Here are few recipes"
The chef opened his treasure book.
Mayonnaise dressing, it read: TAKE
The yolks of four eggs, one quart OF
olive oil, two spoonfuls each OF mus
tard and salt and pinch of red pep
per. Put the cold yolks OF the four
eggs into a cold bowl, add half the
mustard, stir till the yolks are well
broken; now add the oil very slowly
till 1t has the consistency OF butter,
then add half the salt, which Will
thicken it up; thin with a little vine
gar, then gradually beat in the oil till
it thickens again; now work in the
mustard, salt and pepper and the re-
mainder of the oil and liquids till all
is used. Should the mayonnaise cur
die it can be restored by putting four
large tablespoonful OF plain melted
butter, which must be quite cold, into
round bottomed basin, and gradually
work in the curdled mayonnaise, when
twill return to it's proper consistency.
Something else which is good and
easily made, is cucumber salad. Use
sliced cucumbers, stepped in sailed
ice water and drained. Dish up after
nately with sliced picked beets, quar-
tered hard boiled eggs; dress with oil,
salt, pepper and caper vinegar.
To make combination salad, arrange
together slices of cold boiled potatoes,
Brussels sprouts, flowerets of cauli-
flower and shredded celery. Arrange
neatly in salad bowl and serve with
French dressing.
Italian salad is tempting dish To
make 1t the cook should take two
fifths part Of cooked green peas, one
fifth part Of small diced cooked car
rots, one-fifth part of diced cooked
white turnips, one-fifth part of small
cut string beans, mixed. Then into a
French dressing mix chopped chervtl,
tarragon and chives. Moisten the
vegetables with the mixture and serve,
garnished with sliced cooked potatoes
and picked beets.-Kansas City Jour

Best WAYS to Wind Wool.

Wool for knitting or crochet should
never be wound very tightly into a
hard ball, as this makes it thin and
poor. Some good knitters merely
unwind the skein into a soft heap.
but this method is only possible where
there is no fear of ENHANCEMENT, as if
the heap of wool be disturbed it soon
gets into a hopeless tangle. A better
plan is to wind the wool over three
or four fingers of the left hand held
outside the ball. These fingers should
be gently Withdrawn at frequent inter.
walls to change the position of the ball
says Womans Life. Wool thus wound
is always soft and full of thread.
