long as the price had been reduced
by few pennies.
But the woman bargain hunter
has slowly yet surely vindieated he'
self. and she deserves the rest wn''n
the humorists are giving her
Does il really seem VERY tuhhH
after all, for woman to study an"
strive. always, to buy in the pest
market?
Is it a matter for jest when she
tries-not always with entire SUE
cess-to make her lone dollar 40
the work of two?
Is it comical-or isn't il trlhe
pathetic-when woman, whose AZ
lowance for dress is pitifully small
searches the store ads, and the
stores. in a deadly earnest way 10
solve the problem Of keeping up
appearances before her neighDors'
and the world?
! And is il mania" or just gooa
sense, in woman to try TO eNpeh"
wisely and carefully the money
which worry and work has acquired!
Even a good natured husband
will sometimes twit his wife with her
bargain hunting propensities - put
he would get scared in a minute II
she should resolve to stop hunting
bargains.
With the same allowance as her
less prudent sister, the woman bar
gain hunter manages to dress bet
ter, to keep the children looking
better, to keep the house better fur
nished, the table fuller-and to have
many little extra things" which the
other woman is never liable to
afford
The bargain hunting habit makes
her prudent and thrifty : teaches
her the Importance of always hav-
ing little money in reserve for the
next bargain that appeals TO her
helps her to manage her dollars in
stead of merely spending them.
And in reading her newspaper,
she finds the really important news
in the store ads. She reads these
first. Then, if she has time, she
reads the details of the war in the
East or the latest divorce case.

LET Us TRY AGAIN

There is one man whom Greeley
people-at least some OF them-haNe
become will enough acquainted with
so they would like to have him come
and make his home here. because
he has proven himself both nus
tler-and what is more to the point
and square dealer. That man is
7 r. Ellison, manager of the Greeley
chautauoua for the past two years.
MIR. Ellison has given good value
for the money, and IN each case ne
has lost money himself. There can
he no fault with the talent furnlsned
at the price charged. The fact that
the chautauqua has not been flnan-
cial success in the various cities OF
the state where it has been conduct
ed the past two years is IN tsei1
evidence that either the price OF the
season tickets is too low, or the cost
of the talent too high. We would not
like to see the programs cheapened'
should the chautauqua become
permanent institution, but we would
also like to see the management,
whether local or foreign make the
legitimate profit to which ever!
business and honest effort is en-
titled.
There is some talk of making the
chautauuua more of a locally man
aged institution. 1t is doubtful If
this will improve things any, but If
Mr.. Ellison will take up the matter
again another year he should be
given every possible aid from local
people. The chautauqua is an in
stitution worth making permanent,
but unless we take little more
active interest in the thing. 1t is
likely to be dropped.
Last year the Greeley chautauqua
came out in pretty good shape. This
wear the talent was little more ex-
pensive, and, consequently, the net
returns were cut down somewhat, as
the gross receipts were practically
the same.
There is this consolation, how
ever, in the whole thing, Greeley
has come as near making a success
of the chautauqua as any city in the
state, except Boulder where they
have been at 1t for years, and with
the experience gained the past two
years, we should be able to make a
go of it next year.
The Greeley tribune., 1908-08-05
WHY WAIT TWO YEARS

Really, why should this county
wait two more years before the ques-
ton of new court house is sub
mitted to the voters? 1t is needed
just about as much now as it Will
be two syears from now, and even
though the matter is put to vote
at that time. it will be fully year
before actual work can be commen-
ced, and two or three years, pos
sibly, before the work is completed.
That will mean five or six years be-
fore the new court house becomes j
reality
A good way, of course, would be
to make a small levy each year to be
set aside as court house fund, so
that by the time the building is COM
pleted it would also be paid for, but
if we wait, and talk over that plan
| for couple of years, then submit
that question to the voters, and it
takes from five to ten years to raise
the money, and another year before
actual work can be commenced, why
most of us will be dead by the time
the new court house is finished, and
most of us would like to live to see
that sight also.
Really a hundred thousand dol
lars or so, should not startle this
county, even though the amount was
raised by taxation in two or three
years. 1t costs not less than $4,000
annually to take care of the wrong
doers of the county, and the tax
payers are not making any great,
big kick. Why then should they
kick SO much on few thousand
dollars for new court house that is
badly needed?
The present board of county com
missioners can make itself immortal
by starting the ball rolling right
away for the new court house.
Such step might send some of
them back to the farm at next
election, but each member Of the
board has pretty good farm to go
back to- 1t is worth trying, at any
rate.

You'll find that nearly all 'he
Tribune's have been picked up by
their owners, while most OF the
other dailies lie on the lawns uh-
noticed. This difference is very
gratifying to the publishers, and
there is reason for 1t. The Daily

order it, and who pay or expect TO

up on merit alone. No schemes no
little red wagons, no chromos-just
a newspaper that gives the news the
day it happens, dished up in read
able shape. and sold at price that
everybody can afford TO pay.
The business of the Daily Tribune
has been fully up to expectations, and
the labor and expense of producing
it is not more than expected. so 1t S
publishers care not disappointed. and
the Daily Tribune may now be con-
sidered as much fixture in the

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
GROWTH OF THE WANT AID

Two hundred years ago the man
who wanted to sell horse or hire
a maid went to the town crier or
the county fair with his troupies' ;
later he wrote them on sheet OF
paper and tackled it up in the town
hall or village postoffice, with his
name affixed. Nowadays he uses
the newspaper. The growth OF So
called want" or classified advertis-
ing has not been more marvellous
" rapid than growth in other lines,
perhaps, nevertheless, few people
outside the newspaper and allied
trades have any adequate idea of
its magnitude. Denver Sunday
papers during the past year have
frequently run 10000 lines in a
single issue. Averaging perhaps
four lines to each advertisement
this makes 5000 seperate wants
which range ali the way in magnl-
tude from the one offering for sale
a half-million-dollar mercantile bu-

chase secondhand panama hat;
and in foolishness the one seeking
a rich, young, good-looking wife for
pepniless widower of sixty, to the
one desiring home for a three
legged kitten. Yet they succeed IN
bringing together the two parties
necessary to trade more quickly
and at less cost than any other
known method. In the large cities
thousands of copies of the daily
papers are bought for their want
ads alone, and hundreds of readers,
peruse the want ads from first to
last each Sunday from sheer inter-
est. though they may not have
single need in that line. Ii an ar
ticle is saleabe and the price is
right. there is no easier or cheaper
way to sell it than through a we'll
worded want ad in good news
paper.
1t is only a few years since week
ly newspapers and even magazines
took up the want ad feature. Today
many of the largest magazines have
such a department, at prices as high
as $500 a line per issue. The
Weekly Tribune was one of the first
Colorado weeklies to establish
want column on city lines and push
it. While the amount of possible
business in a country town is natur-
ally limited, the possibilities for sat-
isfied wants is being realized more
and more by the people, and while
It used to be the instruction of the
woman who had lost purse or
wanted girl to ~put it in the
locals" nowadays the demand is as
surely for the want column. The
person who wants a room at bed
time doesn't go incoming around the
residence streets knocking at
strangers doors; he goes to hotel.
Likewise nowadays the man who
wants to rent house or buy
horse or hire man DOESN'T wade all
through the paper to find what ne
wants; he goes direct to the want
department, where his especial want
ought to be, if it isn't

Riding an Ostrich.

81 don't believe the stories told about
the natives in Africa and Australia
riding ostriches." said a Californian
who gives riding lessons in a New York
riding academy, "and / saw this pretty
well tried on one occasion In my state.
A cowboy who had vanquished every
pony he ever undertook to break In was
induced TO try an ostrich. After an
hours hard work he succeeded In
mounting the bird, which at first tried
10 shake and roll him off. but these
tactics Of course had no effect upon the
cowboy. Then In spite of all the man
could do the ostrich succeeded in get
ting its head around and Selling the
rider by the calf Of one leg. Finally
the man. after much frantic kicking,
got his leg free He then doubled his
feet under him. and the ostrich reach
ed over his wings and got a good. fast
hold on the mans back. throwing him
heavily to the ground and trampllng
on him. 1t took three Of US to chase
the Infatuated ostrich away. and we
accomplished it barely In time to save
the mans life. That's why don't be-

Why the Tables Are Green.

"Blllards is one Of the oldest games
| know Of" said sporting man. ut
is older even than croquet, which was
played by French kings a great many
hundred years ago. But, while billiards
is so old. III bet none of the devotees
of the worries and the cue can tell me
why a billiard table covering is green.
The billiard table is always green.
Well, the answer is simple enough.
Billiards is merely a corruption Of the
good old English game Of bowls, which
was played on q beautifully green
lawn. On rainy and winter days, how
ever, your English sportsman couldn't
enjoy his bowls, so some clever Johnny
conceived the scheme Of playing bowls
indoors on his imitation green lawn. 1t
was too much of a cinch. however,
playing this game with the hand in
such close quarters, so the cue was
introduced to put skill at premium.
That's why billiard tables are green

It is the planets size that fits 1t thus
for the role Of seer. Its smaller bulk
has caused 1t to age quicker than our

since passed through that stage Of Its
planetary career which the earth at
present is experiencing and has ad-
vanced to a further one, to which In

not overwhelmed beforehand by other

DIVING For Fish.

A unique method of fishing is en-
ployed by natives along the Panlaung
river. Two dugout boats are employed
about thirty feet long, with two men
with long poles, one in the bow, the
other at the stern punting the boat
along. They stretch long rope made
of bambOos and plated grass about a
hundred yards long and weighted about
every ten yards with big stones. This
they let down into the water, and the
fish are frightened toward the bank.
The divers then jump In three at a
time, remaining down about twenty
seconds. They carry gaffs about eight
cen inches long and fishhooks with
cords attached. When they strike a
fish they let go the gaff, and the fish is
hauled up in the boat. A big fire is
lighted on the river bank, and the men
warm themselves before it when not
diving. -Rangoon Gazette.
