lis of Ohio visits the San Diego
exposition, the program for Ono
Day will include a feature quite
different from the usual celebra-

interrupts a great stretch Of green.
In the center, the Ohio governor
will dig hole, plant the buckeye
tree and deliver a short address.
Ohio will thus be honored as no
other state has been.
The care of the tree will be CIV
over to the Ohio society of San
Diego aud its members will take
great interest ia watching it de.

We Admire This LADY

The other day we received let
ter from a Denver lady informing
us that she had been receiving
the S:ftings complimentary from
the former editor and now since
the paper has changed hands to
please take her name off the list,
as, naturally, we would not care to
continue the arrangement. How
much better was this than to wait
six months or year and then tell
us. We have known of people
accepting a paper for months or
for an entire year from a new edi-
editor and then upon the receipt
of a number Of bills inform the
publisher Il always received the So
and-so from the former publisher
because he is an uncie of mine and
thought you were just sending
It the same way" or some such
tale of woe. The Siftings.News
will have no free list. We can't
s.sfd it and it isn't fair deal
anyway. We will be very liberal
in the distribution of sample copies
for advertising purposes but will
endeavor to avoid placing sample
copies with the same people regu-
larly.
We will carry limited exchange
list of papers that are of value to
US and who regard our paper as
of value to them.
We will, OF course, send copies
free of charge to foreign ad-
vertisers who require the paper
as evidence of proper publication
but will not send it to local ad-
vertisers, who, above all others,
should gladly support good
home paper.
We will not send the paper free
to one local advertiser and charge
another for it.
The price is So 90 per year, sup
posed to be paid in advance, but
we are not particular on that score
with those who prefer to first see
what kind of paper they are 60
ing to get. Before one year we
expect the Siftings-News to have

E. & S. Announces
Winters Schedule

Effective October 18th, the
morning train up from Denver and
the afternoon train down, will be
taken off except on Sunday. The
freight train will carry passengers
and will leave going up at 10 40
a. m.: going south about 2:3O p. m.
The extra train on Sunday will
arrive same time as at present
1887 a. M. from Denver and de
part at 1853 going down. This is
almost the same service as was in
effect last winter and is the result
of the decrease in railroad travel
occasioned by the general use of
the automobile.
An effort is being made to have
the government contract with the
Williams auto people for a first
class mail service Regular trips
are made each day on schedule
time and close connections made
at Golden with the interurban
electric line. The government
officers are holding back on account
of the extra expense involved. not
taking into serious consideration
the efficiency of the service. Dur
ing the past year more than 4OO
new rural routes have been estab-
ished throughout the country to
better serve the rural patrons of
the service and each one of these
routes would certainly cost more
than improved service to Idaho
Springs where $500 patrons are
served without any delivery ex-
pense.
Postmaster O. n. Marihugh is
doing all he can to bring about
better conditions during the win
ter months but it VIII probably re-
quire some pressure from a num-
ber of the heavier patrons of the
office to bring the desired results.
Assistant Superintendent of
Mails Mulford, of Denver. is in
favor of the automobile service
and will recommend its adoption.

Soil Products Expo
sition Is Big Thing

Eptirely unlike any other at
traction ever exhibited in Denver.
better than state fair and located
so as to be easily accessible, is the
big Soil Products Exposition now
open and running full blast.
The exposition occupies the en-
tire auditorium and twelve build
ings erected especially for the oc-
casion and represe vast
amount of planning, labor and ex-
pense in its preparation. The
United States government has a
$50, 900 exhibit. There is Won
derful exhibit from western Can
ada, twenty western state exhib-
it's and twenty Colorado county
exhibits. Then there are exhib-
it's of farm implements and ma
chinerv and mining exhibits, too,
for minerals are really soil products.
The m otor show attracts the at
tention of nearly everybody, so
does the dairy exhibit, the poul-
try and pet stock show and of
course the better baby contest.
There are circus attractions with
big vaudeville stunts thrown in
and such things as "looping the
loop" on a bicycle from the gal
lerv OF the big auditorium down
over the other exhibits and the
crowd
The Siftings man has visited the
big exposition and feels free in
assuring the people of Clear Creek
county that they will not be dis
appointed if they attend the Soil
Products Exposition, and if they
do not attend they will miss one of
the best things ever put on in
Denver. It's educational, enter
tanning and interesting.

SOCIALIST TELLS HOW
WILSON CAN STOP WAR
All that's Necessary Is to Call Con-
gress. Another Congress, and
Still Another.

Without waiting for the allies to whip
Germany or for Germany to triumph over
her enemies. President Wilson should
call together an international congress To
stop the war, investigate its causes and
adjust the differences between the
warning nations. declared Walter Thomas
Mills traveller asd lecturer, in an address
on The European War" last night at
Pythian Temple under auspices of the
Socialist Farty of the District.
Mr.. Wilson first should call for Pan
American congress" declared MIR. Mills,
and III wager my life that every nation
in the Americas would send delegates.
This Pan-American congress should then
call congress of all neutral nations and
this congress OF neutrals should in turn
call for International congress composed
of delegates from all the nations of the
earth -
This sounds like big, impossible stuff.
but it isn't. II Mr.. Wilson would just
start the thing he and the world would
be surprised at the rapidly with which
the movement would progress.
