PUBLIC LAND LEASING
Colorado stockmen Will Discuss the
Proposition at Denver Convention

The annual convention of the Colo
RADIO Stockgrowers' Association has
been called to meet at the Albany hotel
In Denver April 3, 10 and IL. One
of the principal matters that are to
come up at the convention is the bill
now being pushed in congress to put
fthe remaining public lands upon a
leasing basis. Colorado stockmen
have fought this proposition for many
years and 1t looks like they will have
to get busy again. as string efforts
are being made to get the bill out II the
house committee with a favorable -e-
port.
At the time OF the stockmen's con
vention the governors OF all of the
western states will be in Denver in
conference with Secretary Lane of the
department OF the interior. This con-
ference is for the purpose OF consider
ing the reclamation problem and un-
doubtedly the stockmeI will force the
consideration of the administration
policy towards the public lands. It
is claimed by the stockmen that all
through the west much support was
given the Democratic ticket at the last
election because OF the position of the
Republican party on this leasing prop
sition and now that the Democrats
are apparently giving serious consid-
Grafton to the same policy. there will
be loud protest from all over the
west. It is claimed that this bill IS
being pushed by the big range cat
'tlemen, who are making this last ef-
fort to retain some public lands for
grazing purposes. II is generally
agreed that leasing law would put a
sudden stop to the settlement of the
public lands.
II Is expected tht the railroads will
make one-fare rate for this conven-
tion and large attendance IS probable

New York, Sept. 3-The American
silk trade, menaced from the moment
the war in Europe began, is believed
to be in worse plight since Japan
entered the conflict and probably will
be further handicapped should Italy
get into the war game. Practically
all of the raw silk used by American
manufacturers comes from Italy, Chi
ma and Japan. Even should the man
ufacturers be able to secure the raw
material they would find difficulty in
continuing business because of the
lack of dyes, which come from Ger
many. The dyestuff problem is at
present the most pressing one For
more than year the American silk
manufacture has been the most pros.
porous of all the textile industries in
this country, and recently it has been
operating about S5 per cent of normal.

some FALL FLOWERS
FOR ONES Home

To have houseful of the autumn
flowers and the late woodsy things Is
the most satisfying thing l know,
writes Philadelphia North American
contributor. The wild things are by
far the most decorative things we can
gather into our houses. To walk
through a lane gathering armfuls of
black-eyed susans; to be surrounded
by the bittersweet vines laden with
their little orange berries; to see the
red berried dogwood temptingly ar
rayed on every hand-this is delect-
able indeed. And If, benefiting our
selves by this profusion, we carry
great armfuls home, happy indeed are
we. f-and here we stop moment
II we know how to arrange them after
we get them home. For you cannot
very we'll imagine goldenrod in the
cutglass vase which held the carna-
tions, or swamp elder in pink flower
ed bowl.
II we intend to make use Of this
world of flowers, we should first clear
away the ornamental vases in which
most houses abound, and get, instead,
soft toned jars in gray and brown,
deep blue jugs, brass bowls, glass
lined baskets and basketried crooks.
With these, full of joyful autumn flow
ers and foliage, ones home will sure
ly blossom.
In some of the department stores
large jugs of stoneware can be OBJ
tanned for 40 cents. In the 10-cent
stores crooks for cream can be bought,
outside a creamy gray, inside an old
brown, delightfully."- adaptable for flow
ers. Bean pots are quite imposing
when used for branches of bright col
ored things, and one can always pro-
cure beanpot full of beans.
Every once in a while plain fac
tory-turned brass jar can be picked up
at a moderate price. Sometimes a
hand made bowl can be found in an
arts-and-crafts shop for about 81, and
for little more flower holder can
be added. These flower holders are
full of holes, and one is set in the bot
tom of the bowl of water. Stiff stem
med flowers can be artistically ar
ranged by sticking the stems into
these holes.

THE COLLEGE Girl
HAS A new LESSON

DO Not Work in Rut Efficiency
First" For over a month this sign,
over the big clock in one of the big
gest offices of a certain big corpora
ton, had rufIled the temper of the busi-
ness girl. She was college business
girl, and therefore felt called upon to
examine critically into every dictum of
world hitherto unknown to her ex-
perience-that of business. Efficien-
cy" had devastating connotation. It
meant to her, says the New York
Press, so many words a minute, SO
many pages an hour; card indexes de-
veloped TO the maximum diversity,
business lunches refined to the utmost
simplicity.
II seemed to preclude all the little
humorous asides-the refreshing in
terludes of relaxation, the speculative
discusslons-all the fancies and aspir-
ations which had enriched the four
golden years of her college career.
What had efficiency to do with this?
AS the college girl saw it, to be efil-
cient was the one sure way of falling
into a rut-the rut of mere mechanic
al facility.
But the weeks slipped by, and after
while the business girl began to
make discoveries. She discovered
good business letters and poor ones; /;
good office boys and useless ones; q
good organizing secretary, who left in
his track groups of enthusiasts eager
to carry on the work he initiated, and
an unsuccessful organizer, who report
ed poor response" or mo interest"
Then it was that the business girl
discovered that the quality common to
all these successful people and mani
tested In their works, and that which
was lacking in the others. was imag-
ination, the ability to project the
thoughts beyond immediate concerns
into the activities of others.
Actually, the very quality that had
stood her in good stead when she
wished to be in the golden age of Hon
er. to know Malatesta and Shelley,
enabled all these seemingly prosaic
people to build up organizations; to
come, even through SO distant thing
as typewritten letter, into sympa'
thetic contact with a business ac-
Quaintance; to allow for and provide
against the shortcomings of stenog
rapher or an office boy,
AS responsibility vas delegated to
her. and certain callers for informa
ton and favors were referred to heT

TO sYsTEMATlzE FARM LOANS


Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 3--The Farm
Mortgage Bankers Association, now
in progress of organization and plan
ming to hold a convention in this city
next month, is the latest of the finan-
cial organizations designed to secure
cooperation among large body of
men in given interest
The business of lending money to
farmers is a great one and the secur.
ity, If chosen with ordinary care, is
among the best in the country, but
there has been little system or CO.
ordination of effort among those en-
gagged
The science of the business, the
statistics, the rules and regulations,
the varying practices of different
States in regard to mortgages, all
these things are kept in the records
or the heads of the lending houses
but are not reduced to any form
which makes the information avail
able to everybody in the business. To
systematic this knowledge is the
chief aim of the new organization.

chant marine, yet, now that this great
industry is about to be restored with
out our help, we are willing to permit
It to be done.
We urge congress to make liberal
and regular appropriations for the
Ohio river, although we ourselves
could long ago have had it improved
to the highest degree If it were not for
the fact that we needed the money to
improve Salt Creek, up which stream
we were constrained to take our final
voyage in the fateful year of 1912.
We arraign the so-called Warnes law
for unearthing Dan Hanna's intangible
property, thereby raising the amount
of his assessment on the duplicate
from sixteen thousand to about a mil
lion and half, thus preventing poor
people paying Hanna's tax for him.
The iniquitous Warnes law has thus
uncovered about one thousand Millions
of intangible property belonging 20
our favored plutocrats, these millions
never having paid any taxes under
Republican administration; the burden
caused by this exemption having been
borne by the poor people of the state,
wherefore we look with horror and re-
vulsion on the provisions of said law.
Whereas, we are professedly strad-
ding and secretly wet on the saloon
question, we recommend the decentral
ization of the liquor licensing authori-
ties so that the local saloon interests
in wet municipalities may have COM
plete control over these authorities,
thus bringing about perfectly beatific
condition of affairs.
We favor such system of valuation
and assessment of all property for
taxation that our noble band of tax
dodgers who always contribute so lib
orally to our campaign funds, may be
able to escape taxation in the same
manner that they did during the ben
eficent reign of standpatism.
We favor return to the silly and
futile system of expenditure for public
roads that formerly rendered our roads
reproach and disgrace to the people
Of the state, and we offer this conces-
sion as bribe to the county commits
sioners of the state, although 1t will do
immeasurable damage to our progress
in road-buildlng and will forfeit ex-
pected national aid on account of our
proposition to abolish the state high
way department.
And lastly, we promise to tolerate
all good measures we cannot prevent,
and supplicate the electorate of the
state to do any thing at all about any
thing on earth, but for heavens sake
to give us the offices; to the end that
we may again be enabled to perform
such celebrated feats as to appropriate
to the pockets of few state officers
and bankers, the interest on vast sums
of state treasure.

bowls and jars can be bought at little
prices. And all of these are in much
better taste than our heretofore choice
possessions of Dresden ware and hand
paint.
The day has passed when 1t is al
lowable to set about empty vases and
bowls-as ornaments. These must be
filled with flowers or put away. We
are assured of flowers in plenty until
about the last of September. After
that, IL one has been wise, one has a
stock to draw upon. For out in the
woods, before the frost, one can get
great branches of laurel and rhododen-
dron leaves, which, if kept in fresh wa
ter, will least the winter through; out
great lunches of bittersweet for you,
These, when pulled, should be tied in
punches, berries hanging downward,
to the rafters in the garret, until the
yellow berries burst open, each one
showing it's heart of red. These are
then ready to fulfill their purposes of
decoration-and very we'll they do it,
too, lasting, also through the winter.
AS mice are fond of the bittersweet
berries, they should, in the process of
drying, always be suspended from a
ceiling.
Bayberries are most decorative with
their little gray berries on their twist
ed brown stems; barberries, with their
hanging oblongs of red, are joy; the
fall leaves, particularly deep red oak
leaves, fit wonderfully into the color
scheme of rooms.
While we are collecting our winter
decorations we are still enjoying our
growing fall fowers-the garden as
ters in pink, white and purple, how
wonderful these are! And how salts
flying a bunch of these would be in a
brass jar or a cream crock! Black-eyed
susans would be wonderful in blue
jar, or brown one. Daisies are de-
lightful in a yellow pot; bittersweet
in red or blue bowl; rosehips in a
gray, green or cream jar, or in a bas.
ket; chrysanthemums in tall, light
crock; cosmos in green bowl or a
basket; clover in any sort of an earth
enware crock-we have many things
to choose from, even garden thyme
and sage, when other growing things
| give out.
