are for social pleasure and rest it is
wise that they be planned with the
minimum of work. Only the easily di-

special thought should be made for
the children. Older people may in

be spared.
There is an endless variety of sand
wiches which may be prepared: finely
chopped meat, fish that has been
rubbed to paste with seasonings and
cream or salad dressing. Nut bread
with butter is always a favorite, gra.
ham, brown, white and whole wheat
give a pleasant variety.
Crisp slices of cucumber dipped in
dressing and put between buttered
bread are most refreshing sandwiches,
hut they will not bear standing even
half hour.
Fruits are always acceptable, espe-
cially the juicy peaches, pears, apples,
and melons.

OPEN GRAZING LANDS
NEW PROSPECT OF WEALTH IN

Homesteaders May File on Whole
Sections of Lands in Many Colo.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Regulations governing the
taking up of land under the new law
which permits homesteaders to file on
GAO acres of grazing ground. will be
made at once by Secretary Lane, ac-
cording to NJ. d. McEniry, chief of
the field division of the general land
office here. Those sections of the A.
90S,1 acres of public domain in Colo
RADIO which constitute grazing land"
will be designated and thrown open
to settlers.
Bright prospects for new ho:he-
steaders, fresh visions of wealth for
older ones, are seen in the new law.
Those who already have filed on
claims may obtain enough more land
to make a total of GAO acres. Tney
can obtain title at once, if they wish,
by paying s1.25 an acre. The pew
settlers. after making certain i'm
provements every year for three
years, may gain clear possession.
The outstanding feature of the law
is that the land need only be used for
grazing purposes. No agricultural or
other improvements are necessary on
the land itself, beyond the erection Of
home and such other improve
ments as will make it available for a
stock ranch. The land may even be
leased, it is understood, for grazing
purposes to existing stock growers.
Chief among the counties in Colo
RADIO that will be affected by the new
law are Moffat, with more than 2,0C0,-
900 acres of vacant public land; Rio
Blanco and Gunnison, with more than
100000 each; Garfield and Mesa
counties. with more than 100000 acres
each; Las Animas county, with 550,-
900 acres; Fremont, San Miguel and
Montrose, with nearly 100000 each,
and Larimer, Eagle, Routt, Park, Del
ia, Hinsdale, Ouray and Saguache,
with an average of more than 25O.00
acres each.
That all the counties together will
yield many millions of acres of gen.
uine grazing land subject to entry I'M
der the new law, and that they soon
will be peopled with thousands of set
tiers who will bring vast wealth to the
state, is the belief of Mr.. McEniry.

PETROGRAD. July 1o-(By

under way. Russia backed by her
plain people, Is gathering strength.
Today. working for her. she has an
army OF them 100000 strong.
This is not sob-sister hysteria- II
In truth.
The Russian war is the peoples
war. With their incalculable forti-
tude the people are backing up the
army in a way peculiar to them and
not 10 be found In any other coun-
try OF Europe. In England and
France for instance. the govern
ments are cooperating with indus
trial corporations and bankers--to
the exclusion OF well-denned citi-
zens' groups-thus keeping the ma
ton and the army supplied.
In Russia, the government and
army also cooperate with these. But
they cooperate with an organized
people too, through non-political
groups which have been formed all
over the country-citizens assocfa-
tions, cooperative societies. pea
SAINTS unions-and whose aim Is but
10 serve Russia.
Then there is a central commit
tee. composed Of civilians. to co-or'
dinate the efforts OF the groups and
take the army's orders.
So some of the Atty millions are
at the front, in uniform. under arms.
Others are back of the lines drilling
10 60 to the front. The rest are
scattered all over the Russian en-
pire working at their jobs, big or
little, but for the nation. They are
farmers and merchants. tailors and
chemists. hootmakers and doctors,
druggists and nurses, seamstresses
and carpenters. machinists and
plain day laborers, all modified Just
as effectively. so far as carrying on
the war Is concerned, as the fore
