of the family If one wishes. These
are made of fine linen which should
be folded double in band about three

DESERT CITY IS WONDERFUL

Denver, Colo. May ll.-Free dis
trlbution of shade trees by the city
administration has become an annu'
al custom in Denver. Nearly twenty
thousand young shade trees we're
given to the people this spring and
they are all planted. The custom
has been In vogue here for five years
and each year 1t is becoming more
popular aud the demand Iof trees
IS increasing. This season the re-
quests for trees exceeded the sup
ply by several thousand, but as the
limit OF the sum available for the
purchase Of trees Is made BY the city
council, the appropriation could not
be exceeded. The sum appropriated
was $4,000 and the average price
paid per tree was 20 cents.
When the city of Denver was laid
Out fittyone years ago there was not

Denver covers sixty square miles
