valley counties" and all produced
over S2,oooooo worth of products.
The figures were not made up by a
biased party, but were the results OF
much data and compilation by the
Colorado Commercial association, with
headquarters in Denver.
That was Tor last year. This year
the conditions are so favorable in this
county, that it is only to be expected
that that record will exceed last years
by hundreds OF thousands of dollars
Every other county in the state will
doubtless increase its agricultural
production returns, as Colorado is
fast becoming farming state, but il
is doubtful ii any section Of the state

outlook of outdstancinp the Arkan

and from actual returns from crops.
but docs not include the many and
various smaller crops that are not
thought to be as important. but which
in the aggregate make large total.
The association compiling the figures
were undoubtedly governed by re-
gard for the truth, and there has been
no exaGgcration. If anything the
crop values were undcrc timatcd.
In the list OF counties with agri-
cultural products returning over two
million dollars, it is 4 noticeable thing
that the sugar beet sections are in
the predominatc. Not particularly
from the fact that sugar bccts are
raised entirely. although as money
bringer into section possibly there
is no other crop known to us which
gives as large returns. But wherever
sugar bcctS are raised. it is typical
of intensive farming. which results in
large production. and therefore OF
much money returns.
in the sugar beet districts. were all
in the sixteen leaders for production,
and the southern or Arkansas valley
counties were also there.
The explanation for it is easy. With
Colorado as a state producing more
sugar from bcctS than any other state
in the Union and sugar hcirg an ar
ticlc OF necessity for which rhcrc al
ways is demand and price. the
money coming into the state from
that source is possibly in greater
amounts than from any other source
The farmers or producers naturally
share in such an incoming OF money
which reflects right hack to the land
that they farm. and gives the basis
for such 4 favorable record of prOduc-
tion.

uously, either.
On purses the letters are governed
entirely by the size Of the bag, but as
a rule the initials are detached rather
than being run together.
Travelling bags for girls who will
move about this summer are not con-
sidered equipped until the owners in
itialS are put on.
For this the letters are as plain as
those in the alphabet of a child, and
each is separate. They are placed quite
near the top. at the middle Of the side.
Occasionally they are TO be seen on the
end, but this IS regarded as a freak.
Brass letters are preferred to those
Of nickel. SAYS the Philadelphia Times.

longing chairs are embellished in huge

MEN DRESSES SHOULD

F,r fine reason that linens form a

in the rinsing water for white, blue

in indigo water. When the green be-
gins to fade, dip it into a sour solu-
ton Of water and vinegar and hang 1t
IN the shade to dry. Dress linens are
not unlike table linens as to laundry
