Postmaster Ordway desires to call at
tention to the practice Of some patrons
of rural delivery of placing loose coins
in their boxes each time they desire 10
dispatch letters instead of supplying
themselves with postage in advance of
their needs. This practice imposes un-
due hardship on rural carriers In re-
moving loose coins from boxes and de-
lays them on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently re-
quests that patrons of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep ON hand
a supply of stamps consistent with and
in advance Of their needs. 1t is also
very desirable that rural patrons place
in their mail boxes small detachable
caps of wood or tin In which to place
coins, when necessary, in purchasing
supplies of stamps.

Notice to Dolores stotkmen.

1t is desired to call meeting in the
opera house at 8 O'Clock p. m. on Feb
ruary 25, 1908. at Dolores, Colorado,
between the Forest officers and all
stockmeii who will run cattle and
horses on the Montezuma National
Forest during the coming season
of 1908.
1t is hoped that all who are interested
in the ultimate betterment of the
Montezuma county range will endeavor
to be present, to discuss with the Super
visor, problems in the future manage
ment of that range.
Questions of vital interest to all, such
as the best method Of handling the
oyerstocked areas will be taken up, as
well as the construction of drift fences,
reseeding of range, etc. in cooperation
with the Forest Service, toward the
greater, efficiency in. the handling of
stock and better understanding be-
tween Forest users and officers.
tbs believed that Government super
vision Of range, will in the future
greatly, help all classes of stockmen;
but it is well understood that its sue
cess depends largely upon the co-opera-
ton of the stockmen themselves. 1t
is with this object in view as well as to
promote greater harmony, not only
between range users, but also between
them and the Forest administration,
that this meeting is called.

Forest Supervisor.

The Star office has Just received over
Two Hundred calendar samples. These
samples came from one Of the largest
wholesale calendar houses in the
United States, the same house we have
been representing for the past three
years, and ON account Of the liberal
amount of business we have done in
the past they have given lower rates
than ever on their goods and our calen-
dar patrons will receive the benefit of
this reduction. 1t Is well worth your
time to look over this fine line of art
whether You wish to purchase or not.
Remember that we never put out two
orders for the same calendar in one
town. As soon as an order is taken
from sample that sample is laid aside
and under no consideration will an
order. be given from It. First to order

Ladies' Aid Celebrates Third Anni-
verSary.

VefSary.
Among the religious influences at
Dolores, we wish to mention the
Ladies Aid. This organization holds
regular meetings every fortnight at
the members homes, and oft times
the ladies invite their gentlemen
friends to meet with them, especially
when they meet out of town and
teams and drivers are necessity.
These social gatherings give those who
"a send an excellent oppoEiunity to get.
acquainted with each other, and
probably has greater influence In
creating neighborhood harmony than
any other agency.
Last Friday the third anniversary of
the organization of this society in
Dolores was celebrated at the home
of James Hammond. Mr.. Hammond,
however, was ignorant of the meeting
place until sleighs end buggies loaded
with Aid members, accompanied by
their husbands and children, began to
arrive at his door. Above all other
pleasures james Hammond loves to
act as host, and the broad smile on his
and Cousin Kate's faces were only sur
passed by the jolly way in which Old
Curley wagged his tail Ia approval Of
the occasion.
A few Of the ladies managed to get
off in side room and INDUCED in sew
ing and crochet work, but the principal
interest was around the open fireplace
where Grandma johnson and Uncle
Jimmy Akin lead the general cotiver-
sation.
The phonograph in The corner
played "Anna Laurie" and many
other new pieces.
Meanwhile several DANES, under the
leadership Of Mrs. Wiltsie. and Mrs.
Bergh, extracted from among the hay
and laprobes all kinds and shapes of
packages and baskets and took posses
sion of the Kitchen, and delightfully."-
appetizing odors were soon floating on
the air. There was meat cooked by
ladies who received their early training
in Texas, and cakes the recipes for
which had been brought from Canada.
Such feast in this region means
choice dish from nearly every state in
the Union. Couple this with the in
stinct native to Montezuma county
lots of it, too-and you can imagine
the kind Of feast we sat down to.
The table had. to be reset three times
before all could be Served.
After dinner came the only un-
pleasantness Of the day, and we must
admit that there was little friction
when the ladies declared that the men,
who were slightly ip the minority.
would have to ''do',, the dishes. This
declaration was accompanied by
transfer of aprons and George Moore,
with years of experience on the round
up, took the dish rag and led off.
Although somewhat reluctant, the
others took drying towels and joined
him and the ,disagreeable Job was soon,
out Of the way. But, in a spirit of re-
bellions Mr.. Belmeer moved that here.
after the ladies be compelled to walk to
their meetings. This motion carried
unanimously.
The Ladies presented Mr.. Hammond
with beautiful berry set is token of
appreciation for his kindness in pro-
viding them with conveyance to some
OF their meetings in the past.
