When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord Of the Administration the spokes-
men of Mr.. Wilson cry: What would
you have done?" They forget that it
is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr. Hughes
who is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records. instead of crying
What would you have done?" They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path of rhe-
torical hypothesis. all In the effort to
change the subject.
by their fruits We shall know
them" When Mr. Hughes was Cow
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudinte them after
he entered office. As Governor he
did not resort Ia brave and beautiful
words as substitute for firm and con
sisteut deeds. lie was careful In his
use OF wprds hut he backed his words
with deeds. lie did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician. he was not q fatterer. he
was not too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital. for the strong or the
weak. when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record of
the Administration by asking him /:
What would you dog" they are I'M
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
nre recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor of New
York. II was then that he frs, said
public office shall not be private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
Use. There Is this about Mr. Hughes
that makes him 81 different from Mr..
Wilson: Hughes mems what he
says" So II is that the campaign is
really a contest Of character between
two men. with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.

Bone Mesa Fair Proved Success

Successful from every standpoint
vas the first agricultural fair of the
Rome Mesa. Farmers club last Thurs
day at the A. A. Ebersol ranch. All
parts of Delta county were represent
ed in attendance, many autos com,
ing from Delta and Crawford. Paonia
and Hotchkiss of course were there
in full force. Many whose time was
limited came and went, while some
four or five hundred stayed on the
grounds from early morning until late
at night.
The morning hours were devoted to
arranging the exhibits and to the live
stock judging. The picnic dinner at
noon was all that could have been de-
sired from the standpoint of good
cheer After dinner Hon. Merle d.
Vincent delivered an able address, his
theme being diversified farming. He
complimented the Bone mesa people
for being among the first to use prac-
.ically the diversifying idea to their
production and for the excellent re-
suits shown on this occasion. The
club was disappointed in not hearing
from Eugene Grub. the potato au-
thority of Carbondale, who was I'M
avoidably absent.
The sports program aroused the
keenest interest. Perhaps the most

tug-of-war in which Bone mesa made

tons on the punching bag by Arthur
Ebersol- Jr.. and the various races and
contests were equally interesting.
Many people who had seen the farm
exhibits at the state and Western
slope fairs were strong in the asser.
ton that here on Bone mesa was seen
a display which could not have been
approached by either of the more pre-
produce, live stock and the products
of household arts were collected for
this day and not an item on the list

HOME HEALTH CLUB

School Lunches: Continuing the subject of the Farmers Bulletin No. 712 I will quote ''The Noon Meal at Home" Those that desire the speci- f1c and detailed description should get the bulletin. How to pack the child s lunch when it is necessary to take it to the school. suggestions for bill of fare and most important of all, pre-
 pairing lunches at school, costs and recipes are all explained in detailed and simple style that can be readily made available.
 There is reason why the ordin- ary family dinner should not be suit able for school children or served in a way that adapts it to their needs. The usual first course of meat and vegetables contains nothing, except
 the meat, which can not be given even to the youngest children. The vege- tables, providing they are carefully prepared by simple methods, are es- pecfally needed and can often be made attractive to children by being served with a. little meat gravy. As sub
 stitute for the meat itself milk can be provided in the case of the younger
 children. These articles with the
 bread and butter, provide most of the food needed.
 The dessert course is suitable for children as we'll as for grown people unless it consists of rich pastries or buildings. The latter are not con
 sidered wholesome for children. if for no other reason than that they 1 are likely to lead to overeating. Such desserts as fruit, fresh or cooked, with 1 cake; cereals with milk cream, and
 sugar; custards and custard buildings;
 gelatin dishes; simple ice cream l water ices ;and other simple desserts may be given.
 Whether or not the family meal is
 healthful for children depends not l only on the food materials selected, i but also on the way in which they are l cooked. Simple methods are to be preferred from the standpoint of
 health as we'll as from that of the 1 housekeeper's time. All dishes that are likely to contain overloaded and [ scorched fats, such as foods careless ly fried in pan in a small amount
 of fat, should be avoided. Deep fat frying is open to fewer objections since if properly done, foods will ab- sorb little fat and the fat will not scorch. Vegetables cooked in water
 or in their own juices and seasoned with salt and a little butter or cream, are easier to prepare than those that are served with white sauce, sca>llop- ed or cooked in other elaborate ways.
 What is said above applies equally to all meals. There is, however, one special precaution that applies to the noon meal when it is hurried. This refers fo tough, hard foods that are

will be of help in a number of eases. I do not advise you to dye your hair. It would cause you embarrassnqent at some time, and you would regret it.
 I repeat here g. formula which published a few years ago and which has had great deal of favorable comment. It is as follows:

likely to escape proper mastication. It is a, mistake to think that the foods given to children must always be soft or finely divided, for chiIdren's teeth need exercise quite as much as their muscles do. When time for eating is limited, however, it is we'll to omit foods that are difficult to chew, and in extreme eases it may be necessary to serve only soft or finely divided foods sandwiches made from crust less bread with finely chopped fill ings, for example. Before resorting to this, however, it is well to make sure that the time for eating and for insistence on good table manners is not unnecessarily cut short. The advantage of putting the meal on the table promptly and of having foods served in individual portions, or at least ready to eat when they are brought to the table, should be kept in mind. To have the meat already sliced and the dessert in cups instead of in one large dish from which indt- vidual portions must be served, and to follow the same general plan with other foods may change 8 hurried meal into one at which there is plenty of time for attention to details essen ttal to health and good manners

Since l was IA my hair, which is naturally black, has been slowly turning gray, until now at the age of 27 I find it is becoming really serious and that if I don't wish to be entirely white must do something at once. have an extreme antipathy towards using any of the so-caIled hair tonics so in my extremity have turned to you. To be gray will mean untold torture to me. know it is a, difficult thing to remedy, but am willing to do almost anything in order to keep my hair it's natural color. Is there such a thing as a harmless dye for the hair1
 (Answer) Premature grayness of the hair is often g. family trait. I know several people. mem bers of the same family, who are subject to it. It may commence before 20 and at 25 every member of the family may be gray haired. The so-ca11ed hair ton les which are so much advertised for overcoming gray hair, may help for the time being. Some of them are very harmful to use, others less so. There is no preparation tha, tis sure to "cure" gray hair, am convinced of that, though there are some that

CHAPTER III.
A Point of Interrogation.

For some time Lanyard strained
to catch something of the converse
ton that seemed to prove so interest
ing to Roddy, but without success,
thanks to the hum of voices that filled
the room. In time, however, the gath
ering began to thin out, until at length
there remained only this party of
three, Lanyard enjoying a most de-
lectable salad and Roddy putting a CT
gar with such evidence of enjoyment
that Lanyard suspected him of the
sin of smuggling) and slowly empty
ing another bottle of Bass.
Under these conditions the talk be-
tween De Morbihan and the Ameri-
cans became public property.
The first remark overheard by Ian

following a pause and a consultation
of his watch.

Plenty Of time" said De Morbihan
cheerfully. THAT is" he amended, III

The girls reply, something which
was accompanied by a pretty inclina
ton of her head toward the French
man, was lost in the others accents
He had a strong and sonorous voice
in strange contrast with his ravaget
appearance and distressing cough.

vised %cheerfully. "Lucia's accustomed

He pronounced the name with thu

though it were spelled "Luchia."

man; "one suspects it will be long be
fore mademoiselle loses interest in tn,
Rue de la Paix."
"You may well, when such beautiful
things come from it," said the girl
"See what we found there today"
She slipped a ring from her han,
and passed 1t to De Morbihan.
There followed silence for an ir
slant, then an exclamation from tn
Frenchman:
But 1t is superb! Accept, made
moiselle, my compliments. 1t is woi
