they were taken over the nearer parts
of the grounds. while the boys ex-
planned what was required for differ,

the young women themselves. The
instructor of the department was on
hand, having been permitted to be in
the building If she would promise not
to interfere or to take any of the
credit. The attendance of legislators
and their guests was so large that the
rooms in the domestic science build
ing were not quite large enough to ac-
commodate all at once. as there were
two tables. but those at the second
suffered nothing because they had not
been at the first.
After the luncheon. the legislators
were put in automobiles and taken to
the farther parts of the grounds. and
over to the governments experimental
station. where a breed of allservice
horses is being established. Later
they were given rides about the city
OF Fort Collins.

ture. the students and their guests
gathered in the auditorium of the
main college building where Senator
Drake was voted into the chair In a
few happy remarks. giving what he

pie Of the East

In the far east. when men converse
together an evasion is equal 10 an
answer. Riding down TO Egypt over
the old caravan route from Jerusalem
to Cairo. Norman Duncan and a party
pitched their tents outside a Bedouin
village and by so doing offended
against the laws of hospitality which
the people so religiously maintain
Mr.. Duncan. writing in Harper's Mag
azine. says that he was obliged to turn
aside their reproaches-and avoid the
abominable quarters which were stil,
being offered. Turning to his guide,
he said; The man must be diverted.
Ask him II the world is round or
fat The reply was a pure philoso-
piers jewel of the east. IF the world
is fat" came the response, after
heavy pondering. Il am content: II II
is round. 1t is by Gods wisdom" And
the men softly applauded, in their
pleasure forgetting their injury, for
getting everything except the joyous
native craft of words.

tees of House and Senate was held
Wednesday night to hear arguments
on the eight-hour bill. introduced in the
House by Mr. Hurd and now before the
Senate. Labor men presented their ar
guments in favor of the bill. They
were followed by officers Of the Colo

Victor Fuel Company against the meas
u-e. The company owners declared its
effect would be almost ruinous on
their business, as they are compelled
TO compete with states that have no
