townships have been summoned to
appear before the county board of

Colorado Wins Dry Farm Prize.

Denver. Governor Ammons re-
turned to Denver elated at the show
ing made by Colorado at the Interna-
tional Dry Farming congress held in
Wichita, Kan. Although Colorado's
exhibit was prepared hurriedly 1t
easily surpassed those of all visiting
states and was awarded second prize,
Kansas, which had twenty-five coun-
ty exhibits, taking first Many West
ern states were represented, and
states as far south as Louisiana sent
exhibits. Governor Ammons was the
only visiting governor on Governors
day, but many of the state executives
sent representatives. The sentiment
in the congress now, according to the
governor, is strongly in favor of hold
ing the next meeting of the congress
in Denver. Other cities are after the
congress, however. Governor Hodges,
in his welcoming speech, urged the
Colorado executive to come to Kansas
to live, extolling the virtues of the
latter state. Replying at the opening
of his address on "Co-Operation of
Western states." Governor Ammons
said: with Billy Sunday trying to
run all the liquor out of Colorado. and
Kansas trying to get the courts to
award her Colorado's water. it looks
as though I might be driven to leave
my state for lack of something to
drink"

cut on simple lines.
One of the most practical OF these
coats is pictured here. 1t hangs
straight on the figure. The needed
fullness at the bust line is provided
for by two small plaits on each shoul-
der. This is taken up from the swell
Of the bust down in stitched-in plat
at each side of the front, the plaits
extending below the normal waist
line for at least six inches.
The coat is open at the throat, but
without revers. The neck is finished
with a small sailor collar and the
sleeves with turnback cuffs. Bone
buttons are used for fastening and as
a decorative feature on the cuffs.
Coats OF this kind are made with
skirts to match. The latter. severely
plain and straight, are worn with
blouses of thin wash silk, pongee or
sheer wash fabrics. These coats and
skirts require firmly woven rainproof
goods in quiet staple colors. Either
can be worn without the other, and
the coat is designed to do duty wher-
ever a separate coat is needed.

In some of the new models these
coats are cut with flaring skirt set
onto a shorter bodice in the style OF
the Russian coat. Others. OF heavier
fabrics, are cut double-breasted, in
long wasted designs having an invert-
ed plait at each side to give slight
flare to the skirt part. In these the
sleeves are large and straight with
turnback cuffs. Turnover collars that
may be brought up snugiy and tight

garment than open-throated models.

One of the most modish Of coats
belongs in the redingote class. 1t is
constructed with an easy-fitting long

Denver.-Commissio and attor-
neys for thirteen of the twenty-four
counties of the state whose aggregate
assessed valuations were raised by
the State Tax Commission appeared
before the State Board of Equalization
in the governors office and protested
against the increases.
Counties represented and the
amounts of the increases are FL
Paso, s953.64O; Rio Grande, $1,17O.-
200; Denver, $9O,377.050; Fremont.
s1,6s0,4O Bent, s1.110,0OO; Montrose.

lips. 1851, $40; Saguache, $2,75O,O00.
The aggregate increase ordered by
the tax commission is $135, ,054,175.
In considering these cases Attorney
General Farrar made the ruling for
the board that under the Lothrop de-
cision by the State Supreme Court.
upheld by that court in the Pitcher
case a year ago. the aggregate state
assessed valuation as fixed by the tax
commission is final and that the state
Board of Equalization has authority
only to equalize between counties.
Thus, he said, if any reduction in as
sessment is made for one county the
same amount must be added to the
assessed valuation of one or more
counties the board may deem to be
assessed too low
Exception to this ruling was taken
by several OF the attorneys present.
but it was announced that the board
would stand back of this ruling, sup
ported as it is by decisions of the
State Supreme Court.
