but imposed a special fine on any
man who refused a fair suitor. II
the man were not betrothed. he must
pay one pound or more to the disap-
pointed maid There are no docu-
mentary evidences that such fines
were ever collected, but 1t is to be
supposed that the ugly girls accumu-
lated neat little sums before the year
was over and red hair and freckles
composed a real fortune in face"
throughout bonny Scotland in those
good old days.
A similar law was passed in France
later. with the kings sanction, and
one can picture the volatile French
maiden entering quite into the spirit
OF the affair and proposing to Jacques
or Antoine with true spirit and aban-
don.
At the present time there are more
men than women in the United States
so 1t would seem that the American
girl had more chances to wed and less
provocation to demand the right to
propose than her English sister who
lives in country where the women
far out-number the men.
And in Colorado there are more
men than women. Right here in
Grand Junction the ratio shows a
slight majority for the men. So If
there is large proportion of bache-
lor girls in Grand Junction it must
be because Grand Junction men are
timid about proposing.
Leap year begins next Sunday
night at IL o'clock. and it has been
rumored that there will be great ac-
tivity in the proposing line Just about
the time the old year hobbies out and
the brisk infant 1917 gtakes his place.
1t is perhaps too late for legislation
on the subject this year, but it has
been stated on good authority that
laws similar TO the ancient Scottish
ruling quoted above will be agitated
in the near future and as Colorado
has women suffrage, they will un-
doubtedly carry.
1t is expected that 1916 will be
renumeratiye year for ministers and
justices OF the peace in this state.
The daily sentinel., 1911-12-29

There are many girls In Grand
Ju lction who are too timid to take
upon themselves the leap year privi-
lege of proposing and yet secretly
long for the right enjoyed by men
that of asking the person of their
choice to wed them. They attach no
significance or Importance to the leap
year custom of allowing the girls to
pop the question and consider IL
merely a pleasant jest to be used as
the basis for gay leap year dances,
where the girls escort the men, make
out their programs and indulge in
numerous mock proposals for the
amusement of the company. The Gus
tom of leap year proposals is con-
sidered merely good joke which of
fers the funny men of the newspapers
a chance to manufacture few laughs
about the old maid, and give theil
tired readers a rest from the eternal
mother-in-law.
Perhaps it will encourage some of
these coy, yet willing" maidens to
learn that the custom is founded on
law. In the year 1888. in Scotland
a law was passed which set aside leap
year as the official year when women
could propose to men. The law not
only officially sanctioned the proposal

The army has done a great deal for

which IT has credit. Take. for instance.
It's work in improved sanitation. You
