FASHION HINTS from the FASHION CENTRES
By MAY MANTON

ditibn, Is scene Of not little gayety
despite the war and its tragedies.
Ad,iccs from the famous resort
assure as that While day costumes are
few, handsome toilets are conspicuous.
A beautiful gown described is made Of
black tulle with six hounces, each
bordcred with velvet ribbon. These
hounccs arc set on a tulle skirt and
this skirt is finished with tab-like
loops Of ribbon at the lower edge set
about two inches apart. Ribbons are
being employed in a thousand dill
ferent directions. Ribbon .bretelles
that pass down along the back 10 form
little pellerines are TO be noted. In
every possible way ribbon is being
pushed. Since ribbons have grown
to be creations Of marvellous beauty,
the fact means opportunity without
limit. Not alone have We silk and
velvet ribbon but also metal ribbons
Of marvellous beauty.
The most conspicuous costumes for
the winter resorts, however, whether
al this side Of the sea or the other, arc
designed for sports They are worn
for the promenade and they have
become general morning costumes.
The newest OF the sport blouscs arc
made Of white knitted silk with a
sailor collar Of color, or Of striped
Jersey trimmed with colored rord
lacings. The sport blouse thus far is
making a feature of the resorts.
Whether It will succeed in pushing
aside the sports coat remains to be
seen, but at the moment it is an inn
portant factor. The sports costume
has a great deal to commend it. II is
youthful in effect, IL is chic, yet 1t is
so absolutely simple that it is quite
in keeping with the spirit of Europe.
and it can be worn upon the Rivera
where costumes of other sorts might
be considered out Of place.

WYE ARE having typical January
w weather One hears great
many complaints. there is
deal Of talk about unprecedented CON
.ditions, but as a matter Of fact, we
are having just what We have every
January, cold rains and disagreeable
conditions. The fortunate few have
gone Or are going South, bur the
greater number Of e.othamitcs are az
home during the winter and perhaps
relieving the situation by the contcm-
plation Of the styles 10 come when
balmy days are reached and the sun
shines.
Skating is the sport Of the winter
and skating costumes are or course
of interest. They have been dis
cussed too generally 20 call for any
extended mention, but a smart ono
seen at one Of the leading hotels is
perhaps worthy Of discussion. The
material is white velvet and the
trimming is electric seal or muskrat.
Touches Of brilliant color are found IN
the lining and facings Of emerald green.
The gown consists Of a plain fitted
bodice with a gathered skirt attached
TO It, and a wide band Of fur edges the
skirt. The sleeves are close fitting
from the shoulders TO a little below the
elbows at which point they are met
by haring bell-shapc cuffs OF the fur
There is a cape which is quite short
3 in front but extends in a point below
the waist line at the back. II is drapcd
slightly over the shoulders. II is edged
with a collar Of the same The lining
Of the cape, the facing of the sleeves
and the facing OF the skirt, all afford
glimpses Of color, and to complete the
effect, there is worn with it a string
Of Jade beads from which was attached
a little gathered bag Of the velvet and
the fur. The hat is close fitting
turban with band Of fur as finish.
All the hotels have taken up the
skating idea. Roofs are given over
10 the sport and while skating cannot
be said TO have supplanted dancing,
il is it's rival and whatever else
society may lack, 1t enjoys exercise
galore.
Capes are to make a feature Of the
spring fashions. This costume with
its oddly-shaped little cape can be
taken ss indicative and there are new
blouses and new gowns that give
evidence Of the same idea while the
separate little cape wraps are con-
stantly appearing in new and inter-
esting forms.
From Paris We have received some
advanced models for the separate
blouse Of the spring A notable one
shows cape-like sections over the
shoulders with a plastron like front
and back. The cape sections arc
double. They give the broad and
dropping shoulder effect. and they are

j. v. BLAKE POPULAR
REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY CLERK

Joseph v. Blake. who was made
the candidate of the Republican party
for the office of clerk and recorder of
Fremont county at the primary cleo
tion last month. is thoro-going ef-
ficient, successful business man and
is admirably equipped by education
and experience for the position. He
has made good" in the prosecution
of his private affairs. and, if chosen
to the county clerkship this fall. will
be no less fortunate in the manage
ment of public matters.
Mr.. Blake has been for twenty
five years a resident of Colorado;
thirteen of which were spent at
Pagosa Springs. where he was engag-
ed in mercantile pursuits, and twelve
in Fremont county where he has de-
voted himself principally to garden
ing and fruit growing: line of work
in which he has prospered. Mr.. Blake
has shown himself to be no laggard
in politics and he is injecting into
the campaign the same push and
hustle that has characterized the con.
duct of his individual interests; an
energy that has hitherto been graft
flying in its results.
Mr.. Blake came here from Kansas
and was married at Elk Falls, in that
state in 1887. He has been actively
engaged in commercial enterprises
since 1884. Three years ago he was
elected city clerk and he is at present
chairman of the finance committee of
the city council. in many respects the
most important committee assignment
of that body. He takes a deep inter
est in all affairs pertaining to the well
fare of the community and possesses
that public spirit essential to the
best and most progressive citizen
ship.
The office of county clerk and re-
corder is one requiring careful atten-
ton and a clear understanding of
public business; qualities that Mr..
Blake will take to the position il he
is elected. He S good penman. a
skilled accountant and genial and
pleasant at all times: in short he
measures up to the demands of the
job az all points. There is. perhaps.
no division in the court house with
which so many people have business
as in the office of the county clerk
and recorder and it is necessary that
its presiding genius should embody
those characteristics that are pleas
ing to the public. He is the arbiter
by reason of his position of many
questions in controversy. must possess
fund of information on many sub

Thru the efforts of the Denver Post
there has been flied with the secre-
tary Of state petitions Initiating bill
for a law alleged to provide for the
herding of live stock in Colorado.
which bill viii be voted upon at the
coming election in November.
Should this bill be enacted into
law. II will have the effect of pre-
venting the grazing of unfenced pub
lie and private lands by the farmers
and stockmen. except by making their
stock constantly subject TO distrain-
ing by any person or persons who
might fancy themselves damaged by
such grazing. even tho the animals
were under herd.
The prosperity of Colorado. and
especially the San Luis Valley. de-
pends very largely upon the prosper
ity of the farmer. and the sue
cess OF the farmer is bsed upon stock
growing and any law which seeks to
restrict the farmer in his operations
will necessarily reflect upon the agri-
cultural and commercial interests of
the whole state.

A visit to the cheering and inviting

Republican ticket is very encourag-
ing indeed Like many other counties

some majority for Americas greatest
statesman, Charles E. Hughes, for
president. II reports can be relied
upon. Gov. Carlson will be re-elect-
ed by a larger majority than was ac-
corded him two years ago.

SANTA FE WILL AID
FRUIT GROWERS IN
SECURING MARKET

Pueblo Chieftain:
The small producer of fruit and
vegetables seeking a market for his
products beyond the strictly local
field will be more successful operat-
ing thru cooperative association
than by going it alone, is the opinion
of J. F. FARRELL of Topeka. publicity
agent of the Santa Fe railway, who
has been making an investigation of
marketing conditions in the several
states served by the lines of his COM
pany. Mr.. farrell was in Pueblo on
Saturday on his way home from Can
on City, Florence and Penrose where
he and Frank w. Myers, division
freight agent, participated in the well
fare conference which those COM
munities held last week in co-opera-
ton with the extension department
of the University of Colorado.
1.-THE greatest trouble confronting
the small producer who makes indivi-
dual shipments" Mr. FARRELL said,
''is the danger of sending his stuff to
glutted markets, and being forced to
accept prices below the cost of pro-
duction. The individual, unless grow
ing fruit and vegetables on a big
scale, cannot afford to spend the
time and money necessary to make
inquiry by mail or wire regarding the
available markets; but if 100 or 200
growers are in an organization. the
inquiry can be made by the associa-
tion manager at a nominal outlay. and
the glutted markets thus avoided"
Mr.. FARRELL said that the plans for
forming selling associations suggest
ed by the markets bureau of the
United States department of agricul-
ture generally had worked out sue
cessfully in Santa Fe territory. These
plans follow closely those of the Cali
forlia Fruit Growers association,
the most successful cooperative
scheme ever invented. The market
ing subject was presented by Mr..
farrell at the welfare conference.
Announcement was made at the
conference by Mr.. Myers that the
Santa Fe would eldeavor to aid fruit
and vegetable growers in the Arkan-
sas valley to find the most desirable
markets for their products. This will
be done thru an information bureau
made up of Santa Fe freight agents
who will keep in touch with condi-
tiols in the market centers- Mr.. My
ers will have charge of the work for
the Arkansas valley.

mons in the West Colorado is a
large producer OF this class Of cattle,
and the enactment of this law would

There has been no demand from the
farmers and stockmen of the state for
such a law. and under the present
laws, which have been in effect for
more than thirty years, Colorado has
made wonderful progress both in agri
culture and stock growing The
stock growers of this state today are
farmers. and il is manifestly unfair
for the residents of the cities and
towns of the state. who are so de
pendent upon this industry for the
necessities of life. to threaten the
prosperity with such uncalled for, ul-
desired and unnecessary legislation
which We are positive would be most
disastrous to both the agricultural

ready with his decisions.
Mr.. Blake's popularity among those
who know, is of that pronounced kind
that will cause them to work hard
for his election. He has entered the
race for the clerkship to win if he
can, but will not resort to trickery
or dishonesty of any kind to achieve
success. He would prefer to go down
to defeat rather than stoop to dis
honorable means in order to secure
a personal triumph He will make a
complete canvass of the county in
the interest of his candidacy and
hopes in that way to enlarge his ac-
quaintance and add to his support at
the polls in November.
Mr. Blake is well versed in theoreti-
cal, as well as practical business. and
will not be found wanting if a test of
his qualifications is made. He is fair
minded. honest and sincere and is
actuated in his dealings with his fell
lows with that spirit of fairness that
is due all men. If he is elected next
month the public can rest assured
that IL will be well served in the coun-
ty clerkshlp.

SENATOR N. N. LINES HAS

candidate of the Republican party for
state senator at the prsfiary election
in September. has liyis in Fremont

His wide acquaintance among the
people of this county and the state
at large, coupled with his keen obser-
walton and study OF the economic
needs OF this section, has qualified
him TO an unusual degree for the
Legislative office TO which he aspires.
Senator Lines has served the people
of Fremont county in the General
assembly of Colorado with honor TO
himself and credit TO his consttu-
ents. having been two times
member of the senate. Four years
ago. as well as in 1914. he was the
nominee OF the Republican and Prog
ressiye parties for the senatorship
and was elected by gratifying plu-
rality in both instances. His fami-
Iiarity with the work to be done and
his popularity with the public men
of the state renders him peculiarly
strong and available candidate at
this time. His numerous friends are
anxious for his return to the senate
where he may continue a career OF
usefulness for the people.
The integrity of Senator Lines is
above reproach and he has proven
himself at all times to be faithful to
the trust imposed upon him. wheth-
er of a private or public character.
A few years ago when the Moffat
tunnel bill was before the senate
and was the paramount issue In
the legislature and when nearly ey-
cry senator was In favor of its enact
ment those who stood out against it
were the subject of severe criticism
and terrific pressure was brought to
bear upon them to induce them to
change their minds.
The brunt of tho criticism, pres
sure and influence OF the majority
and the powers behind II was direct
ed at Senator Lines. The Moffat
tunnel meant much to certain rail-
road companies in the state. They
were greatly in favor Of 1t for selfish
