EXAMINER OF TEA POPULAR
Charming Young Women Clerks by
the Hundred Call Daily on
Him.

Consider the predlcament OF George
F. Mitchell. supervising tea examiner
of the treasury department. Innate
courtesy and southern bred traditions
OF chivalry toward the gentler sex pull
him In one direction and stern
sense of official duty in the opposite.
His official work is In the treasury,
where he has to taste cup after cup
of tea.
He has in his office all of the ap-
purtenances for brewing tea. includ-
ing revolving table with twenty-four
little cups and an electric water
heater.
Now, in the treasury there are more
than four thousand clerks, one-third
of them, say, are maiden ladies', all OF
whom are very fond of tea. How 1t
came about no one knows. Whether
keen faminine faculties first scented
the delicate aroma stealing into the
corridor or whether some girl clerk
in Mr.. Mitchell's office carried the tale
never will be known.
For two months Mr. Mitchell has
had rush of girl callers, whose num-
bers will only be eclipsed by the Of
fee seekers here II the administration
changes. About ten o'clock In the
morning the girl clerk in the next of
fee develops a headache. A cup OF
Mr.. Mitchell's tea would help 1t. She
goes and gets 1t. Her assistant feels
faint and think that cup of that same
tea would help her. and she gets it.
"Oh. we'll" said the tea expert,
who could refuse so small thing to
sweet young thing with a headache
and yearning for tea?"

MANY PENSION APPLICANTS
Nearly Half Million Want Pensions
Under the So-Cafled Sherwood
Service Pension Act.

There have been nearly half mil
lion applications filed for pensions un-
der the so-called Sherwood service
pension act of May IL, 1912 and appli-
cations are arriving at the rate OF
several hundred a day. Those now
being received come either from
great distances or from veterans who
were not aware of the passage of the
Sherwood act. 1t has been impossible
thus far for pension officials to class
ify these applications by states, for
the reason that they are doing their
level best to adjudicate all of the ap-
plications at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and the total applications for
each state cannot be learned until af-
ter all of them have been adjudicated.
The Sherwood law provides that the
pension, once the application has been
adjudicated. shall date back to the
time of the filing of the application,
and the officials of the pension office,
who are being deluged with pathetic
appeals from many veterans, want to
put through these claims as quickly as
possible.

onIy Doll Shoe Factory.

On Monday last, Fred K. Braitling
of Bridgeport, Conn, commenced cut
ting doll shoes in his new two-story
brick factory on Silliman avenue. the
removal from the old plant on Middle
street having been completed a few
days before. This new building is the
only doll shoe factory in the world.
1t is brick, mill construction, 52x150,
two stories. with a stock building
25xS5 adjoining. The total area is
nearly $4,000 square feet and the build
iny is equipped with every up-to-date
modern convenience.-Shoe Retailer.

with long augur feathers that encircle
the crown and curve over the brim.
1t is one of the finest of the new hats.
A pretty French sailor with slightly
rolling brim is all white except for
the facing of black velvet. The low
crown is rather small and admits the
very graceful trim of ostrich feathers,
without destroying any outline of
brim or crown. A feather band, like
a long plume, about the crown, and a
half plume at the left side, curving
over the brim edge and on the facing.
make up an excellent example Of the
best millinery art.

The Colorado statesman., 1912-10-26

Among the new importations for
fall are moire hats with velvet facings
In regular sailor shapes. Straight
crowns and fiat brims are among the
Bmartest models. developed in white
and black. The brims of these fiat
shapes are wide and the trimming
very simple, but very chic.
A pretty example of this style is
shown here with crown of moire and
brim of velvet. A collar of velvet rib
bon and long stiff plume Of ostrich
made up the trimming.
A similar shape has a narrower
brim and lower crown. 1t is covered
with real brown velvet and trimmed

Dark Background.

A black background makes warm
colors, such as orange and red, appear
warmer, but diminishes the effect of
cold colors such as blue and lemon.
On the other hand, a white back
ground makes warm colors appear
cooler, and throws into more brilliant
relief all cold colors.

1t should be remembered by all
that until last year no one in Stafford
ever paid a cent of tax but the
business man. Stafford is one of the
best towns in the state; why should
anyone escape the burden of main
tanning its reputation? Cheap and
false economy is always expensive
in the long run. No matter what
the expense might be. we must
keep our town going. Those who
do not want to do this should move
away, and the sooner they do so,
the better for all concerned.

If every county in the State
would boost for better roads as
Graham, Greenlee and Gila counties
are doing. it would be but a short
time until every section would have
roads that any kind of vehicel could
pass over with ease and comfort.

and all help to build good roads to
every section of the state.

Judging from reports coming from
different sections of the south
western range, conditions are very
unfavorable. Stockmen report that
the early spring rains started the
grass in fine shape. but that the
cold weather following is drying the
ground so that the pasturage will
not amount to much, and unless we
have early summer rains the cattle
industry will suffer. To a limited
extent this condition prevails in this
section. but as a rule our ranges are
in fine condition. with good pros
pect Of turning off fat cattle during
the entire season.

The wreck Of the Central passenger
train Monday evening put the mail
and baggage car out of commission
and on that account the mail service
on this road is greatly crippled. Mail
can only be carried by the pouch sys-
tem-iust as it was in the days be-
fore the advent of the latter day car
system. At this writing it is not
known how soon the mail car can
be put into use again, but the bust
ness men in the towns along the road
sincerely trust it will not be long be-
cause the mail service is badly Grip
pied by reason of it's absence.

Mr.. and Mrs. Christianson are still

beautiful farm home three miles
south of Hendricks last week to w.
H. Wohne, of Somers, Iowa. The
place consists of 1872 acres, we'll i'm
proved and the price paid was $S5 per
acre. Mr.. Wohne was a former neigh
Dor Of w. w. Bum in Iowa and has
had his eye on this locality for some
time. Recently he had an offer Of
1925 per acre for his farm in the
Hawkeye state but did not want TO
sell until he had found something
else that suited him. He dropped
up here and succeeded in making a
deal with Mr.. Nagle for his place at
a consideration Of sS5 per acre, which
is a top-notch price so far for land
in the Hendricks locality. But, even
at this price, Mr.. Nagle no doubt
studied some before he let go OF it.
