CHRISTMAS DINNER
At M'FALL HOTEL

The widely advertised Christmas
dinner at the McFaIl hotel was ready
on schedule time and was one of the
great social events of the Christmas
season. The dining room was appro-
priately decorated and was a sight to
tempt the most fastidious appetite to
exert itself to it's utmost.
Aside from the regular transient
guests of the hotel the following
townspeople were served at family
tables specially reserved: ]. o. Bak-
er and family. E. W. Sinclair. Mr. and
Mrs. ]. Weir Baker. J. W. Newman
and family, Mr.. Griffin and family.
]. E. Jones and family. T. w. Jack
son and family. Mr.. Babel and wife,
Judge W. H. Copp and family Alto
gether 65 dinners were served ana
the affair partook more of the nature
of a family function rather than a
formal hotel dinner.
The plan of providing family tables
is an innovation here that is highly
by the guests and it is
the policy of the management to
make this a permanent feature of
their excellent service.

HELP WANTED.

A large number of copies of the
Journal are mailed regularly to per-
sons living outside the county an1
mostly outside the state but are paid
for regularly by some friend or rela =
tive living in Shoshone and vicinity.
Most of such subscriptions are past
due, some for a year or more. The
present management of the Journal
has no means of knowing who of our
citizens are paying for these outside
subscriptions and it produces an en-
barrassing condition to send a state
ment for subscription to the party
who is receiving 1t as gift from
some relative or friend. The ever in
creasing cost of print paper and 9TH
er material used In a printing office
makes it necessary that all outside
be placed on a cash in
advance basis. 1t is desired that
all who are sending the Journal to
parties at a distance call and settle
the subscription account within the
next thirty dogs.
All overdue subscriptions mailed
outside Lincoln county at that time
will be discontinued.

Colorado Cantaioupes in Florida.

A recent issue o. the 81. Peters
burg, (Fla.,) Evening Independent
makes q cry In the wilderness for
Uncle Sam to protect them against
fake canialoupes. As the Arkansas
Valley growers have all agreed TO the
plan providing for federal inspection
OF this years output IL is probable
that Uncle Sam will heed the cry and
give the protection demanded. The
Florida newspaper article follows:
Are you fond OF cantaloupcs-the
richest and best OF all the melons? II
so, you know how uncertain OF quail
~ they are. The best cantaloupes
are supposed to be the Rocky Fords.
That name is the standard OF excel
lence In the cantaloupe market. But
what OF that when you are up against
the bunco game?
Any one anywhere may order a
Rocky Ford melon. Rocky Ford is
In Colorado. The melon may be
grown In Manatee and served IN Pin
elias or grown In Virginia and served
in New York II is called Rocky
Ford Just the same. Is that In line
with the federal law The federal
department OF agriculture says it D.
" the name OF the state In which the
cantaloupe Is grown IL stated on the
crate. II does not have to be- stated
on the melon or at the table.
Champagne can be so labeled Ia
France only when IL comes from the
district OF Champagne II can not be
made OF the same kind OF grapes over
the line OF the province and sold as
champagne. Kentucky whisky" can
not be owndays-unlcss Il il
made in Kentucky.
Rocky Ford established the fame
OF Its melons. !, does no, seem fair
that any other state should be allow
ed to capitalize that fame. A Rocky
Ford grown In Florida may be good
melon. but II II no more the real
thing than champagne made ia a
province other than Champagne. and
the fake IL generally not equal to the
thing initiated. Why can't We have

MESA VERDE PARK.
fcontinued from Firs, parel

heading the many canons, returns to
the edge OF the Mesa
The Mesas between the canons OF
the Maneos are covered with dense
growth OF cedars and pinons. From
this fact originates the name OF the
Parry, Mesa Verde tGreen Mountain,
Some OF these cedars are four feet in
diameter and OF great age. One
found growing on top OF the ruins OF
Sun Temple, and cut down by DR..
Fewkes, was found by Mr.. Gordon
Parker, superintendent OF Montezu-
ma National Forest, to have 800
rings DR.. Fewkes says: 1T is not
improbale that this tree began to
grow on the top OF the sun Temple
shortly after the year 1870 when
Coronado first entered New Mexico.
but how great an interval elapsed
during which the walls fell TO form
the mound in which ii grew. and how
much earlier the foundations OF the
walls we're laid, no one can tell"

How To Write "A Letter.

Be polite. Use the force OF conven-
tional courtesy. Don't economize in
being civil. The brusqueness OF con-
versation Will not do in correspon-
dence The recipient holds your let
ter in his hand in the privacy of his
office and misses the modification
which your personality might give IL.
So don't take any chances with his
possible mood.
BE good natured. Never show petu-
lance or hostility. Get over all tha,
before you begin to write. What is
excusable in the give and take OF
personal intercourse is ineScusable in
the deliberate act OF letter writing.
Even II you have to threaten or
iriEh,en man, do IL neatly. Re
member, a letter is matter OF rec
ord and think always OF how what
you write will look after IL gets
cold
II you Just have TO write an angry,
violent letter. 10 ge, 1t out OF your
system, write it-and burn IL up.
BE clear. Be sure that any one
can understand exactly what you
mean. II there is a dubious phrase.
change IL. II there is a misleading
word, find another and simpler one.
BE explicit. Give fun and exact
Information. Don't take anything
for granted. Don't assume intelli-
genoe on the part OF your correspan-
dent. Don't refer TO your former
letter. say Il over again. When he
reads your letter let him have all
the facts before him and not have TO
look anything up.
Paragraph your letter. As n
rule. use a paragraph to an idea, but
not paragraph to sentence. Too
many paragraphs favor OF affccta-
iion.
Use good English. good spelling.
good paper, and a good. cleau-writ-
Ing typewriter Any falling off in
these matters. or any OVERRIDING OF
them, distracts attention from the
contents OF your missiye.

When Cows Sold at SIS.

How the increase In the cost OF liy-
ing has progressed in the last thirty
or forty years was discussed by Gov
J. B. kendrick. OF Wyoming, an old
stockman. who has watched the
march OF events. Today chicken is
worth more than turkey was a few
years ago; turkey more than a
hog: u hog more than COW used to
be worth. and a COW more than n
horse. This illustrates the increase
in the price OF food stock.
In March. 1879. ! went down to
Texas TO look over 1000 head OF
steers in Matagorda county southern
Texas" Governor Kendrick said, ac-
cording 10 the Washington Post,
while was down looking over the
young cattle was asked by the man.
agor OF the ranch II cared TO buy
some older steers. The owner. | was
told. had number OF six year old
steers. that he would sell. although
he was not anxious. He was going
to hold them until he got HIS price.
he declared The manager impressed
upon me, however. that need not
hope TO buy unless was willing to
pay the owners price.
II asked the price. and was told
,ha, he wanted SIS head. Think Of
ISIS head for six year oids. and
today calves are bringing 's5."
