purchase of wines sold at auction to
the highest bidder, and the sale is
yet far from completed. There was
something like 100000 represent
ed in value by the cargo and the Gus

DENVER PUZZLED OVER
GARRIS0N'S VISIT

Denver, COL, Aug. 23.-Would
it be proper to entertain Secretary
Of War Garrison on Sunday II the
issue at stake were such an impor-
tant matter as the retention Of Fort
Logan for Denver? This is one Of
the problems business men Of this
city had to solve in connection with
the arrival Of Mr.. Garrison tomor-
row. He is coming for the avowed
purpose of gathering information
which will justify him in abandon
ing Fort Logan as a military post
and will be here only one dcy. The
Chamber Of Commerce has decided to
be "nice" to the Secretary even
though some people may kick. One
of the chief points to be made for
maintaining a big post in Denver
will be that there is in the United
States mint in this city the enormous
sum of $500, 900. 900 in money. or
a larger sum than in any other
building in the world with the ex-
ception of the banks Of Russia and
France. This treasure house will
be unprotected by Uncle Sam II he
has no soldiers in Denver. and, for
another thing, tire money has been
moved to the center Of the continent
for safekeeping.

FLORIDA SPONGES q,

Washington, Aug. 22.-The dc.
partment Of agriculture, through it,
bureau of soils. has recently COM
pieted analyses Of the Loggerhead
sponge which grows abundantly in
the waters of Southern Florida to
determine its value as a fertilizer.
This sponge, according to Mr..
Thomas E. Reedy. of Key West.
grows in countless thousands and to
an enormous size in shallow water
where 1t Is easy to procure. Mr..
Reedy also states that the farmers
OF the Florida Keys use the Logger.
head sponge with wonderful results
and hardly ever use chemical fer
tilizers. Dr.. H. F. Moore, Of the
U. 8. Bureau Of Fisheries, cites tho
use Of this sponge by citrus fruit
growers Of the Florida mainland
and states that he has seen this
sponge growing in such quantities
that he has long thought 1t should
be exploited.

HORSES DELIGHT IN EATING
FLORIDA GUAvAS

.Auburndale, Aug. 23.-Mayor E.
s. Anderson Of this town appears to
have first prize in the matter Of
guava production this year. AL
though he has less than an acre In
guavas. and although Mrs. Ander-
son and her neighbors are using all
they possibly can for jelly. preserves
and butter, there Is such surfeit
that Colonel Anderson Is feeding the
guavas to his horse.
"a horse will desert the regula-
ton horse feed for guavas at any
time" says Col. Anderson. "Once
each day gather pailful of qua
vas, wash them in order to get any
sand off them and turn them into
the feed box. You can fairly see
that horse smile when he goes after
them, and he never touches his 9TH
er feed until the guavas are gone."
There is good money in guava
growing, and will be better money
when freight rates are adjusted, be-
cause 1t costs nothing to raise them;
they will grow almost anywhere in
this grove land district; bear we'll in
the second year, and do not require
any fertilization or cultivation. II.
P. Walker and others have long
been shipping guavas to Wauchula,
Gainesville and other Florida points.

KINGS CONSCIENCE
TO HAVE BRIEF REST

London, Aug. 23.-Lord Chancel-
lor Haldane, who is to deliver the
annual address to the American
Bar Association, which meets at
Montreal at the end of this month,
sailed for New York today on the
Lusitiana. As Lord Chancellor.
Lord Haldane is the keeper Of the
kings conscience, the outward and
visible sign of which is the great
seal, without which no act of par
lament can receive the royal as
sent. The great seal travels with
Lord Haidane in this country. But
it must not leave the United King
dom, therefore 1t is to be placed in
the custody Of three commissioners.
He has been overwhelmed with in
vitations both from the United
States and Canada, but has declined
all with the exception that the day
after he arrives in New York he will
go up the Hudson in the late Pier
pont Morgan's yacht, Corsair, and
inspect the cadets at West Point. A
special train will take the chancel-
lor and his party to Montreal, where
he will arrive Aug. 81. The fol-
lowing day he will return to New
York and home again by the Lusi-
tania. His visit to the American
continent therefore will last only
five days.

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF sETTLERs.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
"The West still calls with imperar
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontarios
young men and women are attracted
by tens Of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
+ the lakes to the farther const Of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because Of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close to 10000 a year, that Of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that humber, max
ing total of 100000 per year, there
is strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. It is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds Of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands, who at once set to work to cul-
tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work Of mans hands,
even in the cities with their record
breaking building rush, is the small
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on a journey
through the country. Nature is stir
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the ''home-making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and UNIVERSE
ties, and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no disposi-
ton to regard the country as a tenn.
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar-
atory to going back East or becoming
lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure of the West is strong. It
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plains
are empowered in trees and vocal
with the song of birds.-Advertise

1t stands to reason therefore that
the frock actually fitted for Tubing is

possible to take this into consideration
without sacrificing too much upon the

A fino linon is the most satisfactory

The cotton marquisettes, cotton

They launder we'll, are easily hand
led. are very soft and graceful, and
durable despite their sheerness and
lend themselves admirably to simple
forms Of trimming, although they may
be made very elaborate with hand en-

The cotton grapes in really good
quality are attractive materials and
are enjoying a great vogue, both for
blouses and tub frocks. 1t is said that
they require no ironing and are very
practical on that account, but laun.

LIKE THE SEPARATE COLLAR
No Accessory Of the Season Has Been
Received With More Genuine
Appreciation.

An accessory which can be adopted
with greater confidence is the separate
white collar to be worn with the coat.
A few years ago girls and younger
women wore embroidered white col
lars over their coat lapels, but the
present renaissance of the fashion is
in different form. The collars now
worn are much more attractive and
elaborate. They come in all the modi.
fications Of the square or rounded cut
and very often end in the long rufrle
or plating which is so great a fad
just now. Others are in the shape of
a modified tichu. They are both be-
coming and practical, as they protect
the waist underneath. Especially with
a collarless blouse-that is to say. an
open-necked one-they are almost nec
essary. Otherwise the hard line OF
the coat is very trying. both in AZ
pearance and in feeling.
