COLORADO FARM W0MAN's BIG Achievement

which was to hold convention In
Belgium.
Mrs. Harbert had not much time to
spare. and not much money to spare.
either, but she decided to go to the
congress in Belgium because she had
some practical ideas that had come to
her while. as an orphan girl. she was
doing the housework. and much of the
field work, too. on farm in Iowa:
and later as a school teacher and
ranch woman in Colorado. She had
known bitterest poverty on a farm.
She knew from experience the hard
ness and the loneliness OF the life.
She had ideas for tightening the bur-
dens of farm women and for making
their lives happier. and she wished to
tell the farm women of the world
about 1t.
Just before she departed for the con-
gress in Belgium she pruned with her
own hands 1000 cherry trees on her
farm near Manzanola. and then she
packed her trunk and went.
In that congress were women dele
gates from Canada. Ireland. Scotland.
England. Spain. France. Belgium. Hol-
land, Germany. South Africa. Aus
tralia. Hungary. Denmark. Servia, Co
lombia. South America. Panama. Aus
tria, Switzerland. Poland and Russia
The princess of Spain was there as
a delegate and there were many other
titled women. and women of distinc-
ton. but the majority of them were
farmers wives. The only woman from
the United States was Mrs. Harbert.

A group of Scottish lawyers were
gathered round brew of toddy one
evening. The conversation turned upon
a question of pronunciation.
Now, / always say neither" one OF
the lawyers said in discussing the pro-
nunciation of the word neither"

lawyer.
Turning to third, he asked: What
do you say. Sandy?" Sandy, whose
head was little muddled by too many
helpings of toddy. woke up from a
gentle doze.
"Me?" he said. "oh, say. whusky."

Assessors Ask six.Year Term.

Denver-A proposed constitutional
amendment by which the term OF
office of county assessors will be
changed from two years to six years
will be submitted to the people by In
itiation in November, according to
decision reached by the Colorado
assessors at the final session of their
conference with the state tax commits
sion. The assessors hold that two
years is not sufficient time for an
officer to become sufficiently acquaint-
ed with the complicated duties of his
position to give the public the best
service. They will therefore initiate
an amendment and submit 1t to the
people, on the ground that the change
would work for higher efficiency in
the administration of the public bust
ness.

much trouble with my heart" writes
a lady in Washington. that at times
felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to specialist to have my heart
examined.
1.-THE doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something l had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me-
II remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart
So I stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. 1 have had no further
trouble since.

made 1t carefully according to direc-

"He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using

wife that the coffee is better than 1t
used to be. SO she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"

UNIVERSITY BEGINS ITS REGULAR WORK Registrars Office Crowded and Time Limit Is
 Extended

University. September 10.-(Special.) After two days of preliminary work, which taxed to it's capacity the reg istrars office. the university began regular work this morning at o'clock and on schedule time. However, the enrolment of students Is by no means complete. So large was the crowd on hand Tuesday and Wednesday, the days set apart for registration. that all were not able to gain admittance to the registrars office. As a result. Pres ident Denny this morning posted a notice to the effect that the regular registration period would be extended untils5 o'clock this afternoon.
 In acceptance with the policy of President Denny, who considers the efficiency of the institution as of great CT importance than the size of the stu dent body, no daily figures of enroll ment are being given out The regis tration, however is altogether satis- factory as is indicated by the fact that it was impossible for the office forces to handle the number of stu dents who presented themselves for ntrance on the opening days.
 One of the most pleasing features of the present opening is the rapidity with which faculty and student body have been able to get down to work.

 Assurance is given the farmers of the state that the milling plant will he established If they will guarantee to supply a minimum quantity of 5O,O0o bushels of wheat annually.

PEACE TREATIES
 SOON TOBE SIGNED
Fcur Nations Agree to Terms of Commission
 Compact With U. s.

Washington, September 10.-In the midst of the European war. Great Britain, France, Spain and China have agreed to sign peace commission treaties with the United States. One effect of the new do- mestic conventions would be to prevent primarily the United States from being drawn suddenly into the conflicts.
 The first four treaties are ready for signature and are regarded by President Wilson and Secretary Bryan as of far reaching importance. While negotiations were begun before the European war broke out. their consummation practically will safeguard the United States from be- ing drawn into it over any question of neutrality or other controversy.
 With the signing of treaties with Great Britain, France Spain and China, the number of pacts of this kind negotiated by Secretary Bryan will number 26t Nineteen already have been ratified by the Senate, comprising the principal countries of Cen tral and South America, Denmark Nor way. Switzerland, Portugal, Italy and The Netherlands.
 Secretary Bryan hopes to have 30 treaties ratified by Christmas, which he believes will assure the peace of the Uni ted States with the entire world
 Germany, Russia and Japan have sig nified their acceptance of the principle of these treaties, although negotiations have not advanced to the point of drafting con ventions Similar agreements with Tur- key and Greece are almost ready for sig nature.
 The treaties with Great Britain, France, Spain and China provide that all disputes Of every nature whatsoever, to the set clement of which previous arbitration treaties or agreements do not apply in their terms, or are not applied in fact, Il, when diplomatic methods of adjust
 pt have failed, be referred for investi-
 lion and report to a permanent inter-
 ional commission, and they agree not
 declare war or begin hostlities before investigation and before the report isl ubmitted.

There were no further arrests made yes- terday for the killing of Robert F. Pow CTS at Leeds. Sheriff Walter K. Me Adory stated last night that it was quite likely that there would be no more ar rests, as with Tom Rowan and Mrs Charles Nash in custody the state feels assured of having the two persons who know how MT. Powers came to his death
 Yesterday afternoon John T. Rowan father of Tom Rowan, and well known citizen of Leeds, came to Birmingham and spent several hours in conversation with his son at the county jail. It was thought for time that Tom Rowan would then tell the story of the Powers killing, but the elder Mir. Rowan left the jail without having prevailed on his son to tell his side of the affair. Another attempt to get the story of the killing of the Leeds mer- chant will be made today
 All the persons concerned in the Powers killing are prominent in Leeds. Tine de- ceased was one of the best known citi- zens of Leeds and considered quite wealthy.
