appropriated by the Seventeenth
Assembly. In the year 1911 the
Homes Board of Commissioners
contracted with the Denver Mar
BILE and Granite Company, of Den
yer, for erecting the memorial,
which was dedicated last Sunday
afternoon. The ceremonies con-
sisted of music, singing, prayer by
Prof. G. p. Coler of Monte Vista,
and speaking.
Governor John f. Shafroth pre-
sented the monument to the Home,
in behalf of the State of Colorado
in very forcible and appropriate
speech of half an hour.
Colonel O. S. Storrs, President
of the Board of Commissioners
accepted the monument, in behalf
of the Home, paying a tribute to
the memory of the 3O7 soldiers
now at rest in the Home cemetery
The dedicatory address was
made by Rev. O. S. Reed, of Can
on City in which he portrayed the
glories of war and extolled the
patriotism of the brave boys who
put down the rebellion.
The address by Rev. Thomas H
Malone, of Denver, was a little ont
of the general tone of Memorial
speeches. Mr.. Malone is the son
of veteran and is comparatively
young man. He looks to the
future and does not live the past
He not only paid a tribute to the
boys in blue, but recognized the
valor and patriotism of the boys il

FOR SUCCESS
L;,o. To Investigate When
Purchasing An Irrigated
Farm
BY CARL B. STow

There are several very essential
| i important things to consider
leu purchasing an irrigated farm,
we believe the prospective
,cbaser who is not familiar with
ioation should have this infor-
ltion. The people of any irri-
lion farming district who will
Emit deception and misrepresen-
lion to be carried on in order to
Ierest new settlers, will find that
HI tactics will result in a backset
their community.
That new country cannot be
lit up or successfully developed
fraud or by the use of sharp
hctice methods, and any attempt
fool the people will re, ult in
lure 10 those who adopt such
Iicies.
The most important and most
Iential requisites for first class,
gh priced, productive, irrigated
i'm are, first: the farm should be
ated in a desirable community
| th good markets and railroad
Eilities; second, the land should
smooth and fertile; third, there
pst be an abundance of water
irrigation: fourth, the drinking
ter should be pure, and sixth,
surroundings and environ
Pnts must be good.
We claim that if an irrigated
'm of l60 acres possessing all
ese features will not pay interest
a valuation of $4,000 an acre,
Pt it is not producing all that it
capable of yielding, and we
lim too that if this same farm
Il not sell for $4,000 that there
some reason for it, and that this
hson can be overcome and the
vanced conditions made to exist,
all the people in the community
assist in bringing about the
cessary changes.

FROM SOLDIERS HOME. oRTING
CITY SCHOOLS AND CHILDREN

Dear Miss Grey: l admire the way you answer the many
letters you receive. Your Judgment is safe and sane. 1 could
not miss reading the paper because of your column. 1 would
like your opinion on an important subject.
My daughter attends the High school, and / can see that
the social life there is what appeals to her. Not only that, but
she is becoming so selfish, thinks mainly of dress, her personal
' appearance and the young men, and having fun, al she calls
Ii. She Is hateful, cross and disrespectful to her parents. We
would like to know what you think of the influence of the High
school, and Oblige, WORRIED PARENTS.
A-There re many influences that affect a girl during the
transition perod-from Ia to 21-other than the school she at
tends. And there is as much difference in the general character
of the different High schools of this city as in the east and the
west. Locality makes the difference. Some ae attended largely
by children of the middle class, while Others are made up of those
and are snobbish. Other girls in trying to keep up with them, are
advise with better understanding. Here are some of the things tina
volubnity, extreme quietness, exaggerated anxiety as to persona
appearance, boys, hero worship, and so on. None of these symp
toms are to be taken too seriously unless real danger threatens. II
the majority Of cases ct has been scientifically stated the seq
question does not enter in this early boy craze" remember il
my own case was accused by my mother of vanity, when was
really unduy exercised for fear would not make a good appear
ance, and would be noticeable.
Usually there is one teacher whom a girl especially admires
and that teacher, or older friend, can do more for your daughte
just now than you can.
A girl very seldom becomes hateful, cross and disrespectfu
to her parents" all at once, and am afraid you have let things o
this sort slip by instead of taking a stand each and every time
before she reached this climax. Il would give the girl an allowance
and let her buy, with your guidance, her own clothes. 1t is a won
derful help for a girl to feel responsible.

won the first prize, with 3S3,400
dead flies to his credit. Health
Officer Woodward is of the opin-
ion that the value of the flyless
city campaign cannot be overesti-
mated. He says that the fly can
be driven out of existence by de-
termination, patience, traps and
swats.

A LITTLE BEAUTY TALK
by Mrs. Anita Norris.

Centuries ago the Grecian and
Roman women we're renowned
for their loveliness of form and
face. Yet they had not one-six-
teenth the resources in cosmetic
art that you of 1912 have.
1t Is a well established fact that
Q woman cannot be really beauti-
ful unless she bathes thoroughly
once every "a hours.
To begin with, it should be
taken at night, just before milady
Is ready to turn into bed. One
reason I advocate the night bath
Is that it will quiet your nerves
and ensure you sound repose. An
other good reason for the night
bath is that when the pores are
cleansed and open, they more
readily absorb nourishing skin
creams.
Never neglect to follow up the
hot bath with a face, hand, arm
and shoulder massage with some
pure emollient. 1t Is. in this way
that wrinkled skins are kept at
bay.
After filling your bath tub
three-quarters full with nice, hot
water, it should be softened by
throwing In two tablespoonfuls of
the following delightful lotion:
FRAGRANT WATER SOFTENER.
Four ounces OF alcohol.
One ounce of ammonia.
One dram oil Of lavender.
Step into the steaming water
before it has time to cool, and
lather the body with a cake of
pure soap until you resemble
nothing so much as a snow
Woman. Next seize upon a bath
brush and ply 1t with vigor.
Be sure to give your los and
chin particular attention, as there

First, women and children open and clean us. Then we are

HEATED DISCUSSION ON "wHETHER A HUSBAND OR WIFE
SHOULD OPEN THE OTHERS MALI"

A man wrote Cynthia and asked: "Is there a law preventing
a husband or wife opening the others mail?" Cynthia told him
there is a law making it a misdemeanor, and added that she knew
nothing 30 small al one doing this. Whereupon Mrs. Chas"
wrote she was much aroused over it, although she and her husband
did this, with the sanction of both, and were happy, and asked the
opinion of Cynthia and the public. Cynthia replied that permits
sion to open anothers mail cancelled the misdemeanor, and the
smanness of the act, but commended that she preferred to open her
own mail and read 1t frst-no matter how innocent the letters
might be. The two printed today are in the affirmative. Let us
hear from others. Both sides will be printed. A discussion is
no. real without two sides. We will be glad to hear what husbands
say.

tween my husband and me when you answered "H.. Il. p" as
you did when he asked about opening his wffe's mail. My

Ale may think it better for both not to be together I'M
less you make a big effort to control your temper-and it might be-
But l am sure if you do make the effort, he only will not leave
but will try to help You, and you will learn that your love will
grow even better and deeper. One way is to count up to twenty
before speaking, The idea is that one who gets angry quickly, gets
over it just as quickly, and If you keep very still a few moments you
will be all over 1t before you have said or done anything to hurt
another. Get up and leave the room If you can't control yourself
any other way. Let him know that you are going to make the
effort-and a big one, too.
