The Soil Products Exhibit.

After very successful exhibition the
Soil Products show in Denver was
brought to close last Sunday. Many
counties in the state were represented
by fine displays of their products and
the showing made by Elbert county was
a very creditable one, being much better
than some counties of much larger area
and more populously settled. The fol-
lowing premiums were awarded on ex-
hibits from this county:
First on best bushel of soft Spring
wheat from Colorado.
Second on sheaf OF White oats.
Second on display OF native grasses by
counties. Elbert showed 119 varieties
against Al by winning county.
First on sheaf of Wheat grass. COM
monty called Blue Stem.
Second on sheaf of Colorado Blue
Stem, native grass.
Second on two sheaves of Alfalfa.
showing two cuts.
First on sheaf of Hog millet.
Second on shesf of White Winter
wheat.
First on Sheaf of White clover.
Second on sheaf of Bronze grass.
First on sheaf of ha.d Red Winter

This county had on display 119 varie-
ties of grasses, yet by some hocus pocus
Rio Grande county, with only Al varie-
ties, was awarded first premium and Ell

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

Hard times make every woman
look to where she can save
money, viii ch, of course, is SEN
sib1e and proper if not carried
too far
In the case of food it would be
foolish to attempt to substitute
sawdust for a breakfast food
because it is cheaper. Everyone
knows sawdust has food value
and its use would be positive
detriment to the health.
Alum baking powders may cost
little less than cream of tartar
powders like Dr.. Priceis, but
many of the highest food author1-
ties both in this country and
abroad have declared them to be
injurious and not safe to use.
To attempt to cut the cost of
living by using low-grade alum
powders is ullwise economy.

Two young Chinese men stood before
a glass case over at the museum. That
the exhibit on it's lower shelf had
caught the interest of the two was evil
dent from their suppressed excitement
of speech and the care with which one
of them copied the information on an
accompanying card.
Curiosity is contagious. AS soon as
the Chinese had passed on another per-
son who had been watching from the
fish pond went over to the case. AT
first sight the exhibit looked like a
cistern pump of old and rusty iron. and
lying by it another piece of the same
ancient metal that might be a sort OF
lever, say. about three feet long. Its
dramatic interest for the orientafA lay
in the printing on the card:

FAIRFAX VOTE RECOUNT

Huddleson Now Has Margin of Six
in Contest for County
Treasurer.
s,e..;al Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The star
FAIRFAX, Va. September 25.-Judge
Thornton in circuit court here ordered
a recount of the ballots yesterday in
the contested election case in which
Claude E. Wiley of Fairfax, disputed
the nomination of Frank w. Huddle-
son of Herndon as the democratic
candidate for county treasurer. in the
primary of August 3 last. Huddleson
received a plurality of four votes over
Wiley, his nearest competitor. On the
recount. which was finished late yes
terday afternoon, Huddleson's plurality
was increased to six votes. The nomi-
nation is equivalent to election
The contest was initiated ten days
after the primary and has aroused in
tense interest among voters OF Falr-
fax county. A big crowd attended the
opening of court Monday, when the
contest proceedings opened. and the
legal battle. which was then begun,
lasted for nearly three days. On a
motion to strike out most of the al
legations made by the contestant,
Judge Thornton ruled that the issues
in the trial should be confined to two
points: First, whether the ballots had
been properly counted. that is. whether
the count had been mathematically
correct; second, whether the votes Oh
seven persons named by contestant IN
his petition were lawfully cast. The
first of these issues has been determin-
ed the second comes in court today.
but the general belief is that the re-
count has virtually settled the con-
test.

testant, Robert A. Hutchinson of Manas-

40 Youngsters and IA Mothers En-
joyed Outing of Two Weeks
During Summer Months.

on Grant road in Chevy Chase, closed
for the season Monday. The home had
been open from June 1, and total of
140 children and IA mothers with sick
babies had been given an outing aver
aging two weeks each child during the
season.
The children, who were selected upon
recommendation of physicians at local
hospitals and upon recommendation of
the Associated Charities, made remark
able gains in health while at the home,
it is said. Some of them gained as
much in weight as ten pounds during
their stay in the country.
Fifty children were at the home when
1t closed, and a party was given for
them before they were sent to their
homes. Each child received number
of toys, the gifts of Mrs. Joseph Letter,
Mrs Griffith Halstead, Mrs. Ormsby
McCammon and Mrs. Murray Cobb
They were taken home in automobiles
loaned for the occasion. :
The nurse in charge at the home, Miss
Anna Mackzum. said yesterday that the
success of the home had been marked
and that the contributions made to the
support of the home had done great
deal of good.
