MADE A PRETTY TRIMMING
Attractive Adornment for Hat That
Was Achieved by Woman
of Taste.

most attractive trimming worn
upon a hat of burnt straw by lady
whose good taste is undisputed was
fashioned in this manner:
\ pattern for a large petal was cut
and used as a guide to fashion petals
from tan-colored corded silk.
Two thicknesses of silk were used
for each petal: these were stitched to-
gether by the machine. turned and
stitched again, a quarter inch from
the extreme edge.
Twelve of these were sewn to a
small disk OF buckram to form flow
er.
In the center OF this was a chou OF
narrow silk fringe of tan. The center
of the fringe was formed by disk
of gold cord adorned by two small tas-
sells.
A cord of the silk finished by row
OF fringe trimmed the base OF tho
crown.
This makes an altogether smart hat.
A yard of silk. five yards of fringe and
two yards OF gold cord are required.

Campaign Attacks No Good.

During the latter part of the cam
paign the character of Secretary of
State Pearce was bitterly attacked by
the Denver Post and the clergy OF
Denver united in proclaiming him i'm
moral and unfit for the office of Sec.
retary of State.
Even though every charge may have
been true, nancy voters throughout
the state looked upon the denounce-
ment as untimely and waged as cam
paign warfare.
While the publications made may
have lost Pearce votes in places,
there is no doubt but they made him
many-possibly much larger num-
her than they lost him; which is usu-
ally true of that kind of campaign
ing.
The Delta independent., 1912-11-08
OPTIMISM.

Upon the face of the returns Wood
row Wilson is duly if not oyerwhelm-
ingly elected President of the United
States.
While Republicans and Progress.
i've Republicans feel their disappoint-
ment as the losers in the political
game, it is good time to get the
raven off the doors.
The American people are not true
to their colors if pessimistic.
If you are always inviting trouble,
you are naturally looking for it and
one can find plenty without the seek
ing.
There are certain interests that are
served by trouble. These certain in
terests only need an excuse for start
ing trouble OF the real class Our pre-
diction of trouble may afford them
that excuse.
1t may be admissible to warn peo-
pie in political campaign. 1t is not
advisable to prolong that warning in
to a howl over defeat, after the cleo
tion has passed.
In a country like ours, where the
majority win at election time, they
should be as safe under one pres
dent as another If they are not
satisfied with his administration
they usually show it very plainly al
the next election.
The short, brief agony of a politi
cal campaign ought to be the one
disturbing event of our history. If i
is not, then the people themselves are
more or less to blame.

1t does not always follow that the
largest crops bring in the most money.
Quite often a medium yield results in
more perfect product and finds mar

finds himself with a much larger bank

CURIOUS BITS

A RoUoH-AND READY MON
ARCH.

According to tho accounts Of
his contemporaries Henry ~.
Of England was not very pre-
possessing In appearance. He
had a bLIletshsped head. a
freekled skin and bvlslns eyes.
In dress he was very unoonven-
tional. and he would not wear
gloves. In speech he was rough
and-resdy, and his manners
were rude. He never eourted
popularity. and was unscrupu-
Ious and revengefui. Moreover.
he was OF q nervous tempers-
ment. and was never still. Even
while hearing mass he would
draw pictures TO keep his rest
less hands employed. But he
had his good points. He wac
strong. persistent. farseeino
and Woodworking. He was con-
stantIy on tho move. and kept
his attendants tired out. SO
rapidly did he travel from place
to place overseeing the affairs
Of his kingdom. that his offi-
cIsIs never knew when he
might drop In on them. And
he was energetic to some pur.
pose. Although his reign was
turbulent, and although he was
simost constantly quarreling with
,is barons and with the church. he
was In the main Just. and
brought about many changes
for the better. He was
great.grandson OF William the
Conqueror. and his greatest
work for England was the COM
binlng together and welding
into ono nation the conquerors
and the conquered. He sub
dued Ireland. and laid the
foundation for tho future great
British Empire.
