In the first place grandmother afore-

nents of old dresses, aprons, etc, The
garments also were originally made
by her skilled fingers from the very
best qualities of calico, Bingham, etc,
which she could find N long, wide

through all the neighboring stores.
She wouldn't make even q calico dress
till she had found a pattern which
suited her. not only as to printing but
more especially as to quality of weave
and material.
When these dresses and aprons
were finally discarded the unworn
portions were torn off and saved for
patch work. These pieces compared
with present-day prints as to quality.

man couldn't straighten hi legs in

thousands? That must mean at

DENVER, Colo. Dec. 2.-There
won't be any more Tom Sawyers in
Colorado next spring If the master
painters of Colorado have their way.
II the fence is to be whltewashed
1t must be done by union painters
and not by any little tyke who comes
along with a pretty colored marble
that he wants to trade for opportu-
nifty to let Tom Sawyer look on.
If the neighbor in the next block
wants a chance to earn IS by paint
ing your roof in the spring holidays,
he'll have to have license to do it,
and put up a bond for 500. The IL

These are the provisions of a bill
creating a board to regulate the busl-
ness of painting and paper handing
which has been drawn up by James
Duce, state oil inspector. 1t will be
introduced at the next session Of the

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
CABINET

n cabinet has two func-
VI tions. One of them is
to administer the diff
ferent departments of the gov
ernment; the other is to advice
the president, and assist him in
carrying out his policies.
President Wilson's cabinet
appointments in 1918 were
made to meet political condi.
tions as they then existed. 1t
is to be assumed that his cabi-
net appointments in 1917 will
be made to meet existing po-
litical conditions, and that he
will make such changes as the
situation demands.
In 1913 Mr.. Wilson was a
minority president, elected by
a minority party which had
been out of power for 16 years,
which had been discredited by
its economic leadership, which
was torn by factions and

which could be welded into q
governing organization only
by the utmost skill. The pres
ident was forced to pick a
cabinet that would be helpful
to him in controlling the vari-
our democratic elements in
congress in order to get any.
thing whatever accomplished.
In doing this he followed the
English practice of organizing
a cabinet, and while admins.
trative efficiency might have
suffered, the country was i'm
measurably the gamer through
the unprecedented construc-
tive policies of domestic legis-
lation that the president was
enabled to carry through.
Whatever may be said of his
original cabinet, including Mr..
Bryan, it shares with him the
credit for this splendid accom-
plishment. In addition it has
a distinction of its own to
which too little attention has
been paid.
No cabinet was ever more
bitterly attacked than was the
Wilson cabinet during the re.
cent campaign. It was sub
jected to the most searching
and pitiless publicity by Mr..
Hughes, Mr.. Roosevelt. the re-
publican press and the repub-
lican managers. Whatever
charges were made, there is
one charge that no republican
even ventured to suggest or to
insinuate. The honesty of the
cabinet and the honesty of its
administration of the various
departments was never i'm
peached. Throughout the cam
paign there was never a hint
of corruption or of scandal in
relation to any cabinet officer
or of any branch of the admin
istration.
Mr.. Wilson is no longer a
minority president of a minor
ity party. He is a majority
president, with a record of
achievement which has never
been equalled in the admins
tration of any of his predeces-
sors. He is now the unquesti-
oned leader of his party and
he is dealing with conditions
that necessitate in the main a
different kind of cabinet.
This may be said without per-
sonal reflection upon any Of
the loyal and patriotic gentle
men who have given their best
ability and their best service to
the country during the first
