President Taft has again shown tina.
he is capable of mastering situations.
This time he has addressed a letter to
congress, recommending reductions il
the cost of conducting the federal gov
crnment. He lays down the business
proposition that the people have as
much right to know what becomes of
their money as to know how 1t is
raised. He recommends several redue
tions in expenditures in various depart
ments. In this message, it is estimate /
that his recommendation, if put in prac-
tice, would mean an annual saving ot
at least ten million dollars. This
shows that the president is ever ON the
alert for the financial interests of the
people.
The following are some of President
Taft s recommendations:
Reasons for inquiry, magnitude Of
the task and plan of the work.
Outline of the organization and its
comprehensive plan.
Abolition of local Offices.
Classification of local offices.
Superannuation.
Efficiency of personnel.
Handling and filing correspondence.
Need of labor saving office devices.
Wasteful use Of properties and
equipment
Waste in distribution of public doc
uments.
Unnecessary cost of insurance.
Excessive cost of travel.

GOLD BRICKS AND INSURANCE

Anything that will reduce the cost
of living is welcome. This includes
fire insurance rates. Undoubtedly any
house owner who can reduce his In.
surance rates by installing improve
ments in house wiring not in existence
at the time the work was originally
done, will be glad to make the expend-
iture.
1t is significant, in this connection,
that there is no difference between the
rates on residences wired for electric
lighting and those not wired, ever
where the unwired houses are well
away from any wiring exposure. Con-
sequsntly it may be erroneous to base

j. p. Keifer stopped in Glenwood
Wednesday on his way from Denver
where he had spent the past three
months to his home in Grand Junction.
Mr.. keifer and his brothers have for
wears been heavily interested in the
Rediands project just opposite Granl
Junction. This property was for years
IN litigation before the general lani
office and the department of the IN
terror, but the Refers and other orig
inal claimants finally won the suit.
MIR. keifer says Grand Junction has
made more substantial improvements
since it went dry three years ago than
IN % years prior to that time, and that
1T is destined in the not very distant
future to be one of the leading cities Of
Colorado. Mr.. Keifer is an ardent
advocate of the dry regime and the

''Iou tell the republicans of this
state they had better get their orders
in early for plates at the Lincoln Day
Harmony Banquet else they'll be left
on the outside said Z. IL. McClena-
han, chairman of the banquet commit
tee, to Chairman McDonald Of he gen
eral committee, today. The facts are,
the demand already shows that the han
could be sold out again if there were
room to include that many more seats.
Regulars, Roosevelters, Progressives and
Just republicans are for once working
together to make the day success.
Senator Beveridge has written a mum
bcr of friends stating that he antici-
pates one of the most pleasant events
of his life as the principal speaker Of
the evening.
In regard to invitations, it must be
borne in mind that it is not an invita-.
tional affair. Cards have been sent to
the various republican workers of the
state announcing the banquet ana r.
qucsting their presence, but these
cards are not intended as invitations
only in so far as they help to create in
terest in the banquet. Every republi
can in Colorado is invited to get his
order and check in early.
The democratic administration paid
its first dividend to the educational in
stitutions OF the state Thursday of last
week The dividend was but % per

Governor Shafroth, Treasurer Kenehan
and Auditor Leddy frankly told repre-
scntatives of the state institutions that
they did not know when another pay
ment could be made. The present hi

Only ten more months remain in viii. d
to pay the other % per cent if the in
stitutions are allowed their full alot-
ment Treasurer Kenehan is of the
opinion that not more than 10 per cent
of the remainder will be paid. This
comes from the fact that the present
administration is using the funds OF
the state for special salaries to friend
ly politicians.

When Clayt Hill was in Denver at
the stock show he met Il. l.. Pcislr
who, it was thought by most of our
people, had gone to Cuba several weeks
ago. On the contrary, Mr. Peisar has
but recently left the hospital where Re
was operated on for gall stones. Mr..
Hill says Peisar was looking very thin
and frail although he claimed to feel
very well and said that he and Mrs
Peisar would soon start on their trip
to Cuba where they will probably
spend several months.
The Eagle valley is undoubtedly one
of the garden spots of the great state
of Colorado. As one travels over the
length and breadth of this splendid
valley, he is impressed with its beauty,
richness and resources. Many of tha
finest ranches in tine Rocky mountains
states are found here. Cattle, hay and
potatoes are the chief products of Ea-
gle valley, though grain of all kinds
and all varieties of vegetables are
grown and make enormous yields.

In the purchase of the Denver Times
by Robert W. Spcer the announcement
is practically made that the fight in
democracy between Patterson and
Speer is to be carried on Just as vicious
ly as before. For eight years these
two men have fought each other in ev-
cry way conceivable to both. 1t was
thought that with Mr.. Speer's retire
ment as mayor of Denver. the fight
would probably either end or become
less bitter, but not so. Mr.. Speer has
purchased a daily paper and his initial
editorial indicates that he intends to
continue the warfare even more bitter
than before. This simply means a con
tinuation of two distinct factions in
democracy.
If the fight is carried on as it will
be through the coming campaign, 1t
should mean republican victory in
this state. With all elements in the
republican party gathering around a
festive board at a harmony banquet
and with the two elements of demOcra'
cy getting farther and farther apart,
the prospects for republican success this
fall are certainly bright.

HANDMADE FLOWERS.

One sees them everywhere, these
clusters of handmade flowers, tiny
rosebuds fashioned from scraps of
silk and chiffon or larger blossoms
made of shimmering satin.
They are so easy to make and so
delightfully."- chic, that an afternoon or
an evening under the library lamp Is
well spent, if nimble fingers busy
themselves in converting bits of
brightly colored silken stuffs into
wreaths and garlands, bouquets or
single posies.
These are used for trimming hats
and gowns A cluster of those pretty
blossoms pinned to the corsage of a
somber- toned gown gives it life.
Large single blooms set in a few
green leaves or sprays of foliage make
an admirable trimming for the velous
hat.
In sharp contrast to the large flow
ars are those tiny buds, made with
Just five or six twists of baby ribbon
or bits of chiffon folded double and
twisted around on themselves. These
are usually in pastel shades, pale
blues, pink and lavender that trim
little neck bows or lace or ribbon.
For a pretty ornament of this kind,
take a pieice of black velvet ribbon
five inches long, cut the ends In
points; then at the center, instead Of
knot, sew on a little wreath OF the
tiny buds in various colors.
Another pretty effect is obtained
by sewing several blossoms to the
ends OF a velvet ribbon bow.
A dainty frilly neckruff is made by
sewing five narrow frills of maline,
either white or black. to a fourteen
inch strip Of tape, and at intervals Of
two inches sew in the center of this
frill three diminutive pink buds Each
end is decorated with small but
tight cluster of buds, perhaps a dozen
in all.
Handmade flowers are delightful as
garnitures for evening frocks Of silk
and chiffon, especially IL they be de-

THE FIRST CRAY
HAIR SIGN Of ACE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color Of the Hair and
Make It Grow,

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of the
'hair. to prevent it from losing its color
and lustre, is Just as important as to
care for teeth to keep them from dis
coloring. Why spend money for cos
metics and creams to improve the COM
plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair is even more conspicuous and
suggestive of age than wrinkles or a
poor complexion? Of the two, it is
easier to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than it is to have
a good complexion. y
All that is necessary is the occasional
use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, preparation of common gar
den Sage and Sulphur, combined with
other valuable remedies for dry, harsh,
faded hair, fandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair. After a few applications
of this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored to its
natural color, in a short time the dan
druff viii be removed, and your hair
will no longer come out but will start to
grow as Nature intended it should.
SDon't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for
fifty cents a bottle, and your drug
gist will give your money back if you
are not satisfied after using. Pur-
chase bottle today. You will never
regret it when you realize the differ
ence it will make in your appearance.

This exciting picture gives us a truth

velops when John Sterling, who has
worked himselef up from the very
lowest rungs of the ladder, shows as
alderman a disposition to give the
people a square deal. For when the
franchise grabbers find that he, and
he alone is blocking their scheme,
they try to bribe him and failing in
this, they resort to underhand tricks
to ruin him. The struggle is tense; it
most decidedly keeps us in suspense;
but works out to very pleasing dee
noument Miss Fernley as the alder
