THE DORT CAR

Mr.. George Dewitt, western sales
agent of the bort and Hupmobile, is
in Monte Vista today on tour of
the state, having reached here last
night from Taos, N. M. He states
that the Chamberlain Woods Motor
Sales Co. of Denver are selling Dorts
faster than they can supply the de-
mand, having sold some forty bort
touring cars at Colorado Springs
since the first of March. Mr. Dewitt
will be here for a couple of days and
would be glad to explain the features
and merits of both cars
Jas. w. Conant and A. H. Goudy
have taken the sales agency for the
bort and Hupmobile cars for the San
Luis valley.
Mr.. Goudy brought in bort tour
ing car last week, which for the
price of $4,000 Monte Vista is the
classiest small car which has ever
been brought into the San Luis val
ley. The engine is 30horse power,
the lines of the car are perfect.
heavy full cantilever springs, West
inghouse electric starter and cleo
trio equipment Without doubt the
car rides as easy as the higher priced
cars, and much more so than other
cars of the same price as the bort,
and the engine develops enough pow
er to take care of any emergency, as
mud, sand or heavy grades. Mr..
Goudy is enthusiastic over the bort
md considers it the best buy for the
money which has ever been offered
to the public.
If anyone is in the market for a
car, it will certainly pay him to in
vestigate the bort carefully and ask
for a demonstration.

SPLENDID COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS GIVEN

1916 to 1S4S. That was fought
purely for conquest, and this part of
Colorado in which you live, and all
the rest of the southwestern part of
the United States was conquered
from Mexico through this war and
to this day the Mexican nation is sus-
picious of us. AT the present time
when we are sending our punitive ex-
pedition into Mexico after Villa, the
Mexicans think that we are after
more territory
On the other hand the rest of our
foreign policy has been such as to
excite our admiration. The war of
1912 was fought in the interests OF
the freedom of the seas. the interests
of neutrals on the high seas at the
hands of belligerents, and in this
present war. one of the most satisfy
ing things that this nation is doing
is standing up for the rights of neu-
trals-for the rights of innocent peo-
pie on the high seas.
Monroe Doctrine for the purpose Of
maintaining the independence and
political liberty of the countries to
the south of us. To be sure, some
times our Monroe Doctrine is rather
discouraging, Mexican affairs are
not very satisfactory. 1t looks as
though that nation is unable Just at
present, to stand independently, and
preserve satisfactory constitution,
but we must not forget that Brazil,
Argentine and Chill and others of
the South American countries are to-
day stable, progressive, prosperous
countries, largely on account of the
helpful attitude that the United
States has manifested in its Monroe
Doctrine.
In our Spanish-American war, we
liberated Cuba. and gave the Philip
pines and Porto Rico a better form of
government. Our relations with
China have been exceedingly praise-
worthy. Some Of you must remem-
Der that in the latter part of the
nineteenth century. along in the
year 1898, there appeared much lit
erature discussing the impending dis
solution and disintregration OF China.
The progressive powers of Europe
were going to divide that nation. but
Just at that time, our secretary OF
state, John Hay, issued a circular
note to all the great powers. recon-
mending that China be regarded as
having the open door; that China
should remain intact, and that all
nations should have equal privileges
commercially and politically In China.
This was the greatest single factor
In maintaining China as united
state until today.
Our relations in foreign affairs.
therefore, have been exceedingly sat-
isfactory.
We have also stood for broad.
progressive policy concerning reli-
gious federation. We have been in
the vanguard of civilization in that
respect. When our English fore
fathers came to this country. they
left England because they did not
wish to worship according to an es
tablished creed, they wished to wor-
snip God as they felt was proper.

SWAT THE GRASSHOPPER

reports are coming Ill from sew
eral places that the grasshoppers are
appearing in great numbers. The
eggs are just Matching and will be
Matching for the next week or so.
Last year there were number OF
fields where some damage was done
AMI undoubtedly great many eggs
were deposited, resulting in the in
creased numbers this year.
number of inquiries are coming
to the office of the valley agricultur-
list with reference to methods of con-
trolling the grasshoppers. The fol
lowing poison mixture is one of the
best known:
Paris Green, 3 pounds.
Bran, so pounds.
Syrup, quarts.
Water, gallons.
Ten lemons.
Mix thoroughly the bran and Paris
Green while dry; dissolve the syrup
Ga cheap grade) in the water;
squeeze the lemons into this, and
finely chop the peel and pulp, and
add them also; pour this mixture
into the bran and Paris Green, and
stir so as to dampen the mash thor
oughly. Enough water should be
used to thoroughly moisten this mix
ture. Add more water than given in
the formula, if necessary.
While fresh this mixture is very
attractive to the grasshoppers, but
when dry or stale, it is not eaten.
This bait should be applied by SOW
ing broadcast on the infested fields
late in the evening or early in the
morning, very early in the morning
is to be preferred, as the grasshop-
pers are then just beginning to feed
and have a longer time to eat before
it dries than if it were applied at
any other time.
Little of the bait is eaten after the
| first day, therefore several applica-
tions may be necessary to check dam
age by grasshoppers in badly infest-
ed fields. The amount given above
should be enough for IL to Is acres
of badly infested lands.
1t is just a little early to begin
using the poison. The best results
will be obtained by waiting until the
grasshoppers are large enough to be
feeding freely. In any neighborhood
where the grasshoppers are appear
ing in large numbers this year, the
whole neighborhood should take
steps toward poisoning or killing by
the use of some mechanical means
If you feel that your crop is in dan
ger of being damaged, do not fail to
get in touch with the valley agricul-
iurist. Full directions for poisoning
ard also directions for making mech
,ital devices for killing will be sent
To anyone writing for same.

PETTICoAT MUST BE FLUFFY
But Flare Must Always Be so Ar
ranged That 1t Falls From
the Knees.

Petticoat widths are from 2A to az
yards. Plain and plated
fiounces are run with cording to re-
move any falling closely around the
ankles or above, as few petticoats
come to the ankles. If a petticoat
matches the suit, vt is likely to be of
African brown, tauDe, Russian green,
black, wine, navy or purple. Plaided
petticoats are darker than usual, but
of rich. combinations. The fare all
comes from the knees down.
Chiffon and Georgette crepe petit
coats are made OF every shade known
in dresses, from white to black. They
are usually of white, flesh, black, navy,
taupe, African brown, dark green or
purple. A cotton petticoat should al
ways be worn under one of chiffon, of
the same color, but not as wide.
Princess slips to wear with one.
piece dresses are made Of cotton, mes
saline, taffeta, crepe or lingerie cot
ton. A fine quality mohalr fabric is
used for petticoats, in all the shades,
is very lustrous, and is washable and
dust shedding and will not crack or
crease. For those who prefer tilmy
cotton and lace petticoats under an
evening dress to one of silk fine or.
candle is made up with tiny ruffies
and val lace
Crepe petticoats that clean and
launder are gathered to deep-hip
yoke, with an accordion-plaited flounce
lower down, headed by a satin ribbon
run in casing; tied at the back.
White crepe petticoats OF a very
dressy nature are founced with hand
painted net.

PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
Keep Before Hens Constant Supply OF
High Protein Meat Scrap, Grit
and Fresh Water.

Keep before the hens that you are
using for winter egg production, con-
slant supply of high protein meat
scrap, complete grit, crushed oyster
shell, and supply fresh, clean water
abundantly and regularly, and see to
it that the water does not become
frozen in cold weather, as there has
been no invention Forthcoming from
our geniuses in this line of industry
which will provide the chicken with
an icepick.
Animal food is extremely essential
in securing heavy winter egg yield,
and as q rule, this can best be sup
piled in the form of meat scrap, as it
it the most economical and convenient
form obtainable.
Fowls greatly prefer green-cut bone,
and if it is practical, we should re.
spect our feathered friends tastes as
near as possible.

bow of ribbon or a band and tassel

their elders will wear the toQue or

Speaking of bead trimmings, nine
out of ten hats have small porcelain
beads used in some form or other to
adorn the brims or crowns. There are
borders in conventional designs Of one,
two or three color combinations; fas-
sells and cords formed of beads; bead
fringe and bead encrusted bands wcz.

as it was for the summer hats but
must be wavy and looser at the sides.
The proper way to wear the sailor
is tipped over one side, and this means
that there must be softening strands
of hair puffed out at the sides.
"Straws show which way the wind
blows" they said, and judging from
present indications the hat of felt or
fabric promises to crowd out OF e1-
istence the once popular velvet
chapeau.

The frequent statement that large

prove unfit for milling should be en-
couraging to poultry-keepers as indi-
eating cheaper feed this winter. The
proportion is put at 60,OOO,00O to 100,-
100000 bushels out Of 600,0OO,OO0 bush

A pullet does not ordinarily possess
reproductive organs sufficiently well
developed to produce such an egg.
Therefore e. pullet Goes not produce
as good Matching eggs and is not as
desirable for breeding purposes as is
The yearling hen. The puilet must
necessarily utilize some Of her ener-
gies in further growth and develop
ment. After attaining her full size,
she still has to fill out and mature, as
well as strengthen her laying organs
through use.
Among the Mediterranean class Of
fowls such as the Leghorn and Minor
ca, the males seem to develop sexually
more rapidly than the females. Well
developed Mediterranean cockerels are
therefore very often used as breeders
when mated with yearling hens. The
ideal mating, however, for breeding
purposes, is that Of vigorous yearlins
cocks with well-1eveloped yeariing
hens.
