VOTERS DIRECTED TO
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

Although the complete returns have
not yet been announced sufficient in
formation is at hand to make 1t GER
tain that the three proposed amend
ments to the state constitution, sub
mitted to the voters OF Colorado at the
recent election, have all been defeated.
The proposal to fund the old out
standing warrants is close, but unless
something unexpected is revealed
from the counties yet to be heard from
it will have been defeated by from 800
to 500 votes. The amendment had the
support Of a number Of teachers be-
cause Of a large number OF the war
rants to be redeemed were held in the
school fund, but most OF the counties
voted against 1t by small majorities.
A comparatively small percentage OF
the voters took interest in the matter.
The amendment to increase the sal
aries Of the supreme bench and the
governor was defeated two to one. So
also the proposal to reclassify the
counties. The voters were too busy
with political matters to pay attention
to the proposals at the bottom Of the
ballots.

NAY COMBAT WITH
KING JACK FROST

The smudge-potters are having q
battle royal over the tentative virtues
of their various methods for heating
up an orchard about Jack Frost time
The fellows who burn the midnight oil
claim that by their process they have
been able to raise the temperature full
ly fourteen degrees at time when
this meant something to the salvation
OF the peaches. They say they can
maintain an average Of eight or ten
degrees throughout the night and II
they can do this without slipping a
cog or balling up the atmosphere they
are certainly going some and II we
were from Missouri they would have
to show US how 1t works. The charge
is made that the coal-potters-and
they are legion as unpaid election
bets-have been able to spring the
uplift of temperature only eight or
nine degrees and hold it there for only
a short time. This Is a rather severe
Indictment and setting aside the as
pirations of the Standard Oil company
we hope it is not true for 1t is SO much
easier to get coal than oil in most
places.-Field and Farm.

splendid coal land in the locality indi-
Gated, which is underlaid by four

John GLADDEN. of Lincoln Park has the
contract for the construction of a
large tipple at the mine. ten bents Of

TIE Mascot of
Sweet Brier Gu1ch
A Fine New Story

BY Henry Wallace Phillips, author
of Red Saunders and Plain Mary
Smith. illustrated with nine pictures
in color by F. Graham Cootes. Tall
12mo cloth, $1.5O. The Bobbs Merrill
company.
A straight appeal to the smpathies
through the faith of childhood, the SUI
preme, universal appeal. A brave
story, full of action and honest senti-
ment, compact of simple emotions and
elemental virtues-courage, kindness,
the never-say-die friendships Of men
close to nature, and love Of the open
reaches and the steep places. A re-
memberable book. for people do not
forget the stories which dim their
eyes and mellow their lives. That Is
The Mascot of Sweet Briar Gulch.
The author, whose robust humor is
no less because his tenderness is
greater than ever, invites you to know
the heart of a man, the heart of boy
and the heart Of a girl. The man is
homely and plain and big-hearted,
the kind of man who belongs to his
name, Jim. And the boy, too. wears
the same name with just as good a
right. The man is out Wet. You're
not formally introduced to him; that
somehow, amid these plains and
mountains, seems unnecessary. The
boy Jim is adopted by the man Jim
after he has run away from the cruel
people who call themselves his pa
rents. but who obviously are not, and
who have beaten and starved him in
the slums of New York. The partner
ship and the mutual devotion of the
two Jims-that's the story, plus the
woman in the case, of course. She Is
Big Jim's sweetheart, back in the
East, and his love of her is the under
lying motive Of all that occurs.
Well, it just weaves its spell around
our heart, until you're laughing one
minute and crying the next, or. more
likely, doing both at the same time.
And when Little Jim rescues Big Jim
from the sunken shaft, you want to
get up and yell your 'elight, and you
actually do it when the girl decides
she will have Jim after all.
So the Mascot of Sweet Briar Gulch
is one of those rare stories that have
the happy effect of making people
think better Of themselves and Of each
other, of lifting underestimate of hu-
man nature, of unconsciously melting
barriers and Of leaving a sweet taste
in the mouth. 1t Is. particularly ap-
propriate as gift in the holiday sea-
son, and the extremely attractive ap-
pearance of the volume increases and
heightens this appropriateness. 1t is
long since we have seen in any book
better illustrations than Mr. Coote's
charming pictures for Mr.. Phillips
charming story.

LUMBER RATES
TO BE REDUCED

Washington, Nov. 21.-One of the
most important railroad tariff reduc-
ton rates filed with interstate COM
merce commission will be that for

direct bid for lumber transportation.
The Southern Pacific tariff now is in

i've on three notices. 1t provides for
reduced rates on all lumber including
timber, poles. shingles and finished
building material, In carloads in CAL

They cure backache, every kidney
Ill.
Mrs. G. N. Jones, living at 215 North
Sixth street. Victor. Colorado. says:
"My husbands experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills dates back to over three
years ago, at which time he was cured
of a severe case of kidney trouble By
them. He tried doctors and various
remedies to find relief but met with
very little success. He finally learned
of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured q
box, and upon using them was cured.
At times since, when from over-exer-
ton or cold, the old trouble has re-
turned, an appeal to Doan's Kidney
Pills has never failed to remove 1t. We
deem it a pleasure to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to those who suf-
eff from kidney trouble"

LOSS IN WEIGHT OF
APPLES IN STORAeE

The steady loss OF weight which
fruits such as apples undergo even
under most favorable conditions In
storage Is due to process Of breath
ing similar to that occurring In ami
mails, whereby oxy is taken in and
carbon dioxid given out. Since apples
and other fruits have no body heat
to maintain. the breathing process IL
not SO active as In animals and they
may last months after being picked
from the tree. Yet there is q steady.
continuous loss In weight as the
weeks go by. although the fruit re-
mains sound and drm. This breath
ing or respiration Is said TO be partly
a chemical reaction and in apples II
grows more rapid al the fruit be-
comes warmer and Is slowed down
when the fruit Is cooled. These
chemical changes take place from
four to six times as fast at summer
temperatures as in cold storage and
from two to three times as fast In
cool cellars as in cold storage.
We are often asked the question II
the seedlings used in root-grafting
exert any influence on the tree as to
hardness and is so what are the best
to use. The apple seeding il the
foundation for the tree. as the scion
depends on this at least the first two
years for establishing itself and form
ing the nucleus OF the future tree.

pies for grating purposes. Many Of
these are known to be tender and
hence we hear OF losses from trees

rectly to the stocks on which the
trees had been grated. II we were
to save seed from such varlties as

Did you ever watch a hen scratching

wanted worms. She found, by nat
ural instinct and by trying out, just
where the worms were. and she kept
scratching till she got all she wanted.
or else all there were to get, before
she stopped.
Why does hen scratch for worms !
First-She wants worms.
Second-She was given feet formed
to scratch.
Third-She has found her feet will
scratch.
F'ourth-she has found her scratch
ing gets worms.
Result: a-

Second-She gets worms.
Mr.. Dealer: Learn . lesson from
the scratching hen.
Like the hen. you want something.
She wants worms-you want business.
Did you ever hear Of mere wanting

Did the baby get the moon because
