make and not likely to have the

ward be allowed to make their own
candies.

cd of making them all is about the
same.

Another Fire

About seven o'clock Thursday
morning while breakfast was be-
ing served at the Oriental Hotel
the alarm of Fire" was sounded
and the people Of Roy rushed to
the scene to find flames and
smoke issuing from the building
and to rush madly in and rescue
the furniture and what they
could from the ground floor.
The fire seems to have started
in the bed room just over. the
kitchen and was not far advanced
when first sighted but the alb
sence of any effective apparatus
for lighting flames and the char
acter of the building which was
of wood construction rendered
all EFFORT to oppose the flames
futile.
Intelligent effort ard the use
of plenty of water and the chem
ical cans from the stores saved
the |. O. OF. Hall and the Ar
mour and Patricks residences
which we're the only other build
ings exposed.
The origin Of the fire is un-
known The flue from the
kitchen range passes thru the
room where itseemed to have ori-
ginated but was new and Of an
approved pattern.
The building belonged to Mrs.
Clarence Wright, of Dawson and
was occupied as hotel by Mrs.
Samuel Tyler. The buildingwas
insured for $4,000 tits one
of the old land marks having
been built in 1907.

Love Finds a Way

A sure enough elopement was
one of the sensations of the week
in Roy Buster" Woodard and
Miss Flossie Canon were the
parties to a real romance Sun
day evening. They drove to
Roy with a horse and buggy hir-
ed an auto and drove to Springer
took the train to Trinidad where
they were married and returned
Wednesday.
There seems to have been some
opposition to the match and the
youngsters took matters in their
own hands.
The groomis % years old a son
of J, NJ. Woodland and an exeln-
plary young man. His bride is
tho 16year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Cannon Of Liberty and
so attractive we can't seem to
blame Buster for stealing her,
They will live on the groom's
homestead near the homes Of
their parents.

the efficiency of the efforts BY
Rev. Ruth and Rev. Hearn In the

ian Church people have labored
and sacrificed for this cause and
their efforts are appreciated al
tho we sometimes fail to so say
so.

a year. Work will begin in afew
days if the deal goes through and
they will be ready to buy and
store wheat by Nov. 20th.
They are asking that wheat
growers hold their wheat until
then or at least 60, 600 bushels of
it. This will be easy to do as it
will scarcely all be threshed by
that time, and there is easily
$50, 900 bushels here that has not
yet been marketed.
We sincerely hope this enter
prise may be put across and the
little opposition thathas develop
ed is more than overcome by the
enthusiastic support it is receiy-
ing. Bradstreet and Dunn give
Mr.. Wilson a rating of half a nit
lion dollars-and his emmisaries
say he will likely purchase land
here and run a large wheat farm
himself if he locates here. It
looks like the beginning Of better
times.

Mill and Elevator

this week in the prospect for the
establishment Of a new flour
mill and elevator.
The movement was started
some weeks ago when Mr.. 0. I.
Wilson Of Arcade New York, who
is the owner of a large elevator
and mill at Plains, Kansas and
who owns a large tract Of Wheat
land at the latter place and is an
extensive wheat grower as well
as grain dealer, came here and
spent twodays in looking us over
He saw the possibilities of this
Mesa and decided to investigate
further and this week Mr.. jacobs
one of his managers in the Real
Estate and Agricultural Depart
ments and Mr. Mann, travelling
Freight Agent for the @. r. I&P
Ry. and also an expert miller,
were here making d careful sur
vey of the situation with a view
to settling whether or not he
would erect large elevator and
mill here.
A mass meeting was held at
the Spanish American Office Mon
dav evening at which they met
many of the citizens of the town
and explained the proposition.
The modest requirement of suffi-
cient land for the buildings on
the railroad was easily pledged
and water for the use of the mill
when in operation. They also
asked the promise of a small bo
nus in the way Of a donation OF
a few bushels of wheat from the
wheat raisers asNn inducement
and also as an evidence of good
faith in the desire for the loca-
tion of a millhere.
There was some opposition
presented in this plan for dona-
tions not however from the far
mers, and many citizens of the
town voluntarily offered cash and
other donations. The gentlemen
drove into the country and inter-
viewed the farmers and their
request was freely con-
ceded by the pledging of wheat
for this and next year.
The gentlemen were going to
look at two other towns and re-
port on them as sites for a mill
but we know that no town in this
part Of the state will compare
with Roy as location for a mill
or grain elevator.
The mill is to be strictly mod
ern, go barrels of flour a day ca
pacity and the grain bins are to
be of concrete, rs feet diane
ter and 80 high with an elevator
head above it and will store e.
nough wheat to run the mill for

importance of Cotton Grape

THE woman who takes full advan-
 = tage of erape for summer clothes dininishes the work of the laundress3 on Ironing day almost by half. And this summer, when crape of all sorts. is in full fashion. the housewife's task sof making use Of 1t Is easy.
 Ironing destroys the characteristic charm Of crape A really beautiful erape frock was sent by it's owner last summer to a laundress who was un- used to the fabric. She troned it. It canes home ruined-far too large smooth and characterless And. of course, the little crinkled wrinkles that the iron had smoothed could never be regained.
 It is better to use heavy lace In crape frocks and underwear lace that bolds it's Shape and requires little ironing. when fine lace. like valenciennes.g is used it must be carefully ironed and pulled into shape without ironing the crape.
 Grape nightwear can be very attrac- lively made. Nightgowns cut by some simple pattern, with kinaono sleeves, at the top. through which quarter inch ribbon can be run. There can be a bit of coarse white embroidery on the front and sleeves, and the sleeves can be finished with plain hens. Tn spite of their simplicity such nightgowns are
 dainty if they are nicely made. A new summer night garment chat can be made of crape is an interesting sort Of pajamas for women and@ chil-
 dren-Ta garment all in one piece, so that the bothersome coat feature is eliminated These paJamas have col lars and cuffs of eolored lawn-pale pink CT blue-or of white lawn, and these collars and cuffs must. of course, be ironed to look well For children
 these pajanas are made with full bloomers drawn into an elastic band about the ankles.
 Grape clothes of any sort should be hung carefully. SO that they will re- tain their shape. A good way to hang crape waists is on hangers covered
 with strips of white cotton wound about them.
 Petticoats can be made with crape foundations. with f1ounces of enbrofd- cry and lawn or of all over embroidery.
 The hounces can be ironed after the crape is dry. If the crape is dampen- ed when the f1ounces are sprinkled. it
 can dry later. Children's summer clothes can be a1- most entirely of crape- Small boys suits can be trimmed with cuffs and collars of pique-which must be ironed -or of co1ored lawn Belts and collars and cuffs of colored lawn can be used l on little girls crape frocks.

ruNIcs AND elRpLEs.

Tunics of net and lace which fall in points<are edged with some colored silk and the deep ceinture is often aided by a second colored sash tied about the knees. In one gown of white net a deep gtrdle of Roman striped ribbon tied in the back in a gigantic Japanese bow ruthlessly destroys all our tradi- tions, and in another a bolero of taffeta says quite plainly. the lingerie gown of 1914 has got to be walked up.' I Very often the embroidery of net or batfste or organdie is in color. as. for instance, on an 1880 frock whose ruff fled skirt and fehu are brought out by blua needlework.

The Sleeping Porch Fad
, l.I ' a.i..l ..

IT is quite true that the American
 people have been and are at times subject to the craziest fads ever heard of. but among the many useless fads adopted in our country there occur occasionally one or two which prove of general benefit to mankind. One which has become very popular in the past five years and is Of especial value is the sleeping porch.
 unttl recently no one ever heard of sleeping in the open except in the case of consumptives or campers. Then a short while ago some one had a flash of genius and asked if sleeping in the open were good for consumptives why was it not good for persons in normal health.
 Gradually as the craze was accept ed and slowly spread men and women all over the country began to utilize the tops of their verandas and all odd little porches for sleeping purposes.
 After awhile the wealthier followers of the fad started to build sleeping porches to their homes. These were constructed more or less like ordinary rooms, with heavy roofs and walls, but the upper half of these walls was left open The fittings in some of these outdoor rooms are as beautiful as those in any of the indoor rooms.
 The benefit of this fad is so patent that 1t seems almost unnecessary to explain wherein 1t lies. To breathe the free, unadulterated air all night long is the most strengthening way to sleep, and it is saIe to assert that no child brought up in. sleeping porch will ever have tendency to weak lungs.
 Young children who are unaccustom- ed to sleeping in the open should be started on their sleeping porch careers in the hottest weather and gradually worked up to the winter weather In this way they become accustomed to the gradually increasing cold. and, far from being dangerous for them to sleep in the open. it is highly healthful, but only under che above mentioned conditions To put a young baby sout on sleeping porch for a cold night without any previous experience is quite enough to kill it.
 Every suburbanite and country mother should form the sleeping porch habit for herself and her children dur ing the summer months. No matter how small cottage the home may be- it is sure to have some kind of porch which can be utilized for this purpose For the city dweller, unha ppily the sleeping porch is an una.chievable goal unless one happens to have the means to own a house. A great many Of the brownstone houses have porches in the rear. usually on the third or sourth Etory. These can be utilized 1n
