THE ISSUE IN THIS CAMPAIGN IS:
PROHIBITION OR PROSPERITY.

Does Colorado want Immigration
and capital to develop her resources.
or does she want to drive them away
as Kansas and Iowa have done?
Does Colorado want her wise and
tested local option laws repealed and
enforcement Of the laws taken from
the hands Of the city officials and
placed in those Of the state authori.
ties? This will happen II statewide
prohibition is voted for.
Does Colorado want a low tax rate
or a heavy burden Of taxation which
is inevitable under prohibition?
Docs Colorado want decreased
revenue by abolishing the saloon H.
cense without diminishing the sale or
use Of liquor? That Is what hac oc.
Cured In prohibition states. Is there
any reason to suppose Colorado will
be different from all the rest?
Is not local option and local self.
government the right way. the best
way. the most practical way, to de.
eide the license issue?

SWEET CLOVER FOR sAcHE7
Olives just the Delicate Perfume Suit.
able for the "FrIppsries" and.
Underwear.

Sweet white clover, which grows
wild from Maine to the south, is one
Of the most delicate scents that may
be used among pretty fripperies. and,
unlike many sweet odors. 1t is not too
heavy to render 1t unsuitable for q
girl. Gathering the fragrant weed Is
a pleasant piece Of work.
In gathering them whole stalks may
be cut ruthlessly and piled into the
baskets. One should get small noun
tains of 1t, In fact, for it is to be
remembered that drying causes 1t to
diminish, and what is a huge pile
when green is little more than q hand
full after month.
The whole mass will be sweeter
when drying Is complete If the leaves
be stripped from the stalks. The stems
sometimes take on a rank odor. That
stripping is by no means tedious, and
the loose leaves should be thrown on
papers or large pieces Of cloth, ready
to spread in the sun.
For week or more they are left
out in the air and sun to do the work
Of drying. Occasionally the green
should be turned, that all may be ex.
posed. When thoroughly dry the
leaves are crisp and of course break.
and by that time the sweet odor lie
apparent.
The leaves are best used by putting
them into bags to place among frills
and undergarments or In pads made
just the size of the bureau drawers
which are to contain them. Figured
china silk is the prettiest material
for the purpose, but silkoline and
even the plain white Swiss muslin
are by no means to be despised. The
pads will require the thinnest lin.
ing of cotton batting to prevent the
leaves from punching in one section.
If they are scattered over the cotton
before sewing the last end they will
stick where placed.

looked like cherries. The low neck

collar, and transparent guimpe filed
up the decolette.
Another equally simple frock was in

niers and waterfall back. The corsage
had a quite low waist line and was
full about the bust and under the
arms. A collar and revers of Milan
ese lace lined with blue chiffon trim
med the shoulders. and a guimpe OF
transparent net filed up the decollete,
as in the other dress. The sleeves
were quite long and tight, with lace
frills, and the waist belt was just

ends on one side

Varsity and V RsI. are rapidly being
completed and according to the pres
ent arrangements the squad will get
away on the 5:2l train Thursday
evening. 1t was previously arranged
to leave Wednesday but Manager
George PhillipSs has found that by
starting Thursday evening the team
can get into 3 lacEsburg about noon
Friday. This Will give the men. a
chance to run through signals Friday
afternoon and a, short rest.
Although it has not yet been defn-
iteIy decided upon, at least seventeen
players besides Coach Edmunds and
Manager Phillips VIII make the trip.
Besides the regulars there are about
nine men who win compete for the
ensuing three days TO determine what
four will make the journey. To say
that there is some competition would
be putting it mildly and thcs who
have occasion TO be on the athletic
field for the ensuing three days
around o'clock will see some classy
scr.mages. It is he desire of Coach
Edmunds to take the entire first
squad but this is Impossible owing
to the heavy expense incurred.
Washington and Lee succeeded in
defeating V. P. ]. by a good sized
score Saturday and this has caused
