COLORADO GRAIN CROPS
SEASON OF GREAT PROSPERITY
FOR FARMERS PREDICTED.
Gain over Last Year In Barley viii
Be s255,e4o, In Corn $1,376,32o
and In Oats $251,6oo

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Wfth their grain crops
amounting to over third more than
the large crops of last year and with
prices in some instances nearly
double those of 1914 season Of great
prosperity is predicted for the farm
ers of Colorado in the March report
of the United States bureau of crops.
Excepting the bushels of wheat on
Colorado farms March 1 the grain
crop, including corn, oats and barley,
exceeds last years supply on hand by
2,7S7,O0O bushels. At present the Of
ficial government crop estimate
shows that Colorado farmers may ex-
pect 100000 bushels of corn COM
pared with 2.016,OOO last year, $780,
900 bushels of oats compared with
3,745. 900 last year. and 100000 bush
els of barley compared with $4,000 in
1914
Although a decrease in wheat OF
2S9,OOO bushels, the difference be-
tween 100000 bushels in 1915 against
2,32S 900 last year. is estimated, the
price, of this grain to producers mas
increased from rs cents a bushel last
year to s1.2O bushel this year. This
indicates net gain to the farmers OF
Colorado of s1,29O.OOO in wheat alone
despite smaller crop.
Based on these figures the total
gain predicted for 1915 in the sale OF
the grain crop amounts to s3,173.s6O,
while the estimated total derived from
sale of the crops will equal $7,943.1OO.
The gain over last year in barley will
be $255.940. in corn $1,376,32O and in
oats $251 900.

Where |, the Elaborate Hat?

There was a day, not SO very many
years ago. when the first millinery
thought of every woman concerned
a best hat
For everyday wear last year
hat. cleaned. perhaps. with lemon
and embellished with an old rose dip
ped in carmfne water-color paint
would do. But for afternoons there
must be a new hat. ornate with artifi-
cial flowers. elaborate with plumes
and ribbons.
Today the woman who buys only
one hat buys a simple hat-a hat OF
the tailored millinery class. Perhaps
it's only trimming is a smart ribbon
bow, a band of velvet or one flower
effectively placed. And this hat she
wears. perhaps. on all occasions Last
years hat. if there is anything LEFT
of il. may be called in to serve for
an afternoon hat, its shabbiness COW
erred by more elaborate trimming. But
the simple hat is cheerfully worn on
all occasions if no other is at hand.
What has caused the change? Why
is it that at church elaborate milli-
merry no longer keeps our thoughts
from the sermon?
The most important reason FOR this
change in millinery is the automobile.
The elaborate hat is impossible in an
automobile. In the summer 1t is
b,own to pieces; in the winter the
low ceiling of the limousine makes it
uncomfortable. A couple of years ago
when the so-called skyscraper hats
were in fashion. many well-known
women sat on the floors OF their cars,
Il WAS said. to accommodate their
beadrear. But that phase of the sit
uation has passed. The simple hat is
preferred by women who ride in au-
tomobiles, and their pedestrian sisters
follow their lead.
In the second place, the mandate that
hats are not allowable at the theater
has worked in the interest of simple mil
linery The woman who goes to the the
alter in a carriage or motor goes without
a hat in the evening. The woman who
walks or rides in the public cars wears a
hat that can easily be held in the lap for
two or three hours. Again. elaborate
millinery would be in the way.
This year, 10 be sure. we hear once
more of picture hats. LeShorn hats and
transparent hats of lace and net are in
fashion again. But compared with the
picture hats OF lew years ago they are
IN ldlikc in their simplicity. Dainty they
are. to be sure. but their trimming is
little. and that little is almost artlessly
arranged. Moreover. these hats are worn
only for elaborate afternoon wear-with
the new picture frocks of silk and mus
III. And the woman who has no elabo-
rate frocks has no such hats.
The business woman, the woman who
shops and goes TO market, the woman at
ChurCh-the woman we meet every day in
the city thoroughfares-does not bother
her head this year about best" hat.
The simple. comfortable, albeit becom-
lng. tailored hat fills all her wants.
- And the mlliners? They lament the
edict of the heartless theater managers

The Practical Test of Tobacco

The tobacco habit, like the use Of alco-
hol. is not a moral or \ religious ques-
ton. 1t is matter Of personal health
and hygiene.
Connie Mack" the popular manager
of the Philadelphia American baseball
| team. says he has watched boys for many
years and he has rarely known a cigar
ette-smoking youth to amount to much.
Today almost all men commanding big
business" decline to hire young men ad-
dicted to the cigarette habit, because
their mental faculties are stunted. There
| is growing tendency not to employ a
user of tobacco as a bookkeeper or In
| any position where money is to be

tobacco on mental and moral poise to
a practical test.

from the standpoint of civic as well as
individual welfare any habit which tends
to deplete reserve power or weaken the

Let us consider, without prejudice of

physical body and mental powers:

Of the nonstriated muscles Of the all
mentary tract (vomiting and catharsis).
contraction of bladder of the iris Of the
eyes and of the arteries; the last named
often being responsible for many cases Of
increased blood pressure. i
Under the influence Of nicotine the
heart il subject to extreme strain ana
at the same time is embarrassed by de-
creased blood supply: In other words. 1t

ICE ECONOB

With a mild winter behind us and sum-
mer before US. the question Of ice again
looms large Most Americans are de-
pendent on cold drinks. Tepid water
does not quench our American thirst a.
water that sparkles with GOODNESS does,
and as for cold tea, lemonade and fruit
punch that ara almost warm, We have no
use for them. Besides that. We need Ice
to preserve various foods in warm
weather.
One way to lessen the ice bill is to buy
perishable things, like meat and milk.
In small quantities. and to have Q very
small ice box to hold water. butter. and
the other peAshables that We must have
on hand. nursery ice box or refrig-
orator costs s. or s.. and can be chilled
with a scent piece of ice. which will
last for two days in weather that Is not
of the hottest sort. This Is big enough
to hold small bottles Of water. a jar Of
butter. a basket Of fruit. eggs and such
left-overs as need chilling. But Of
course with such a small box the food
supply must be carefully managed, 30
that there Will not be quantities Of food
on hand that would spoil without ice.
It ID quite possible to keep things cool
without ice. One way to do this IL to
put them in running water-the principle
used in some milk houses. So II you are
in the country, where 1t is difficult to got
ice, and where there is a stream Of run
ming water. stand bottles of drinking
water, crooks of butter, and Jars con-
tanning other food in shady spot in the
bed Of the stream.
Another way to cool things Is this: Put
an unglazed clay jar in the coolest place
in the house. An ordinary flower pot
will do quite we'll. Stand 1t in a dish Of
water. Over the top Of the jar, after the
food that wants cooling is in 1t. spread
a cloth which has been dipped INTO strong
salt water. Let the ends reach down into
the water in the dish under the jar, and
keep this dish full Of water all the time
OF course. it is evaporation that cools
the clay jar.
There are various pads to wrap around
ice that keep it from melting. and one
of these might prove an economy.
And another means of economiziug Is
to open the refrigerator door as seldom
as possible. Make a list of everything
that is needed from the refrigerator be-
fore each meal and SO try to open the |
doors only once. Each watt Of hot air
that enters the refrigerator melts a goo.
deal of ice. So this careful planning is |
really worth while.
A good ice pick is another economy |
For much ice can be Clipped away with |
a dull. thick pick-and of course this |
crumbled ice melts very rapidly. ,,
