Uncle Sam is busy in Denver turn
ing out the largest order of Christmas
presents manufactured in the nation.
No factory in the United States will
manufacture Chris tmas produce of
greater value than will the govern
ment in Denver this fall.
So great is the rush for Uncle
Sans Christmas gifts that he has
been at work for some time prepar-
ing them and will continue to work
until the holidays.
The particular gift to which he is
turning his energies is money. Al
ways before Christmas there is a de-
mand from all parts of the nation for
gold coins for presents and the Den
e mint has been selected to supply
the entire output for the middle west,
east and south.

MAUoE MULLER UP 70 DATE,

Maude Mullar. on a sumer's day,
Raked the meadows sweet with hay.
And as she raked in the early morn,
She heard the honk Of a motor horn.
Anon there drifted on the scene
A car propelled by gasoline.
The Judge rode up in motor car,
And said to Maude, "Ah, there you
are!"
He killed his engine In the shade
or the apple tree to chin the maid.
He spoke Of the mileage on his tires.
AS is the way OF all good liars.
He said his a was quite the best,
And had the edge ON all the rest.
He invited Maude to take a ride,
And, nothing 10th, she jumped inside.
The Judge from a purling brooklet
drank,
And forthwith started in to crank.
He cranked and cranked till his arm
was sore,
Then started in and cranked some
more.
He cranked and cranked till he reeked
with sweat.
And cranked till after the sun had set.
He cranked away with a right good
will,
And, the chances are, he is cranking
still.
And of all devices with which we're
cursed,
The auto crank is about the worst.

WAR N DRUG
PRICES SOARING

fHiCES
More than any other line, the drug
business is affected by the European
war, and according to local druggists
wholesale prices on almost all lines
have advanced from 10 to 800 per
cent. Chemicals are particularly af-
ected, as the bulk OF such articles
come from Europe, largely from Ger
many.
Iere are some instances showing
how the drug market has been affect
ed:
Peroxide, a commonly used product,
is advanced so per cent in price. This
because peroxide is made from BARI
um salts, which are found chiefly in
England and Scotland. Canary seed,
which comes wholly from Germany,
has advanced 300 per cent. Synthetics
and oils used in perfumes come chief
ly from Switzerland, and all are ad-
yanced in price. Aspirin, which is
used for headaches and rheumatism.
comes rom Germany, and since the
wal started has advanced so per cent.
Russian oil, which comes from Rus
sian territory, has advanced 100 per
cent. Toilet articles have been gen.
orally advanced SO per cent. CarboIic
acid is up so per cent in price. The
remeddy 1905" has been advanced 25
per cent. Opium and cocaine, which
come from the Orient, not from Flu
rope, are advanced so per cent. Citric
acid, which comes from Sicily, has
advanced 100 per cent. Cream of tar
tar, which m largely from France,
Is up so per cent. Camphor, which is
secured in China and Japan, has risen
SO per cent. Glycerine, although made
in the United States, is up 20 per
cent. Gum t~ragicanth, which is secur-
ed from Asia, has advanced 200 per
cent.
Wholesale houses have advanced
their prices, even without reference to
stocks on hand. This advance is ex-
cused on the plea that when the war
is over there will be a decline in
prices and that those stocks on hand
then will suffer losses through the de-
cline.

PROTECT THEM FRoM wANr

Suppose the Grim Reaper snatch,
ed you away from your happy fireside
today. Would your wife be protected?
After the Doctors and undertaking
bills were paid, would she have
enough to permit her to keep up the
home, live right, educate the children
and free the future years of toll and
misery? Would your plans and in
vestments all go wrong, because your
wife wouldn't have the means to con-
tinue the payments or meet the in
terest?
No man will have any occasion for
anxiety If his provision takes the
form of insurance. Aside from the pro-
lection at death, insurance helps him
to enjoy peace and contentment in de-
Ginning years, because of the money
he receives from the matured policy.
The cost of insurance is very mod
est compared to the benefits you and
yours receive. Let us talk it over
now, today when you are insurable.
Tomorrow you may not be. -.

Not only are Generals Carranza and
Villa represented but General Zapata
has three delegates.
The official report of the meeting
said the convention formally met and
organized.
The basis of representation agreed
upon was that each delegate must
prove that he had command of at
least 1000 men in the army or must
have been identified as a general or
governor with the Constitutionalist
movement before Zacatecas was cap
tured from the Huerta government. 1t
was this point on which General Villa
had been insisting from the beginning.
Official reports stated that the pre-

exists against further bloodshed.
