One of the best bits of strategy on
the part Of the designer of this frock

of the satin, that is placed at the nor

and is crossed in the back with the
ends brought round to the front and
looped over. They reach below the

tassels. The chances are that occa-

tons from most of the Italian operas,
and then Rockefeller suggested d
dance. Not such another dance was
ever held in the eternal hills of Colo.
RADIO. Rockefeller is some dancer, too.
He danced with the miners wives and
daughters, and before they knew 1t he
was the n normal person there. They
forgot he was the sOn of John d. Rock

time of their lives.
Again he fired us all back to town.

He was alone that night again with his
men-his partners, as he called them.
We came back in the morning. He
had explored the mines with his men.
He had inquired about the school ia
c%ilities, how they would like to have
n ba%ndstand, provision for small gar
dens, a Y. NJ. c. A. and a lot of things
like that.
We found him, as down beyond Trim
idad, standing on the high bluff, look
ing out over the foothills, wrapped In
the flooded gold of the sunrise.
"Td like to live here a part of the
year." he said.

to see his partners.
The Big Meeting Called.
At n mine camp he went alone to
the homes Of the miners to talk with
the wives and the children. He was
so affable, so mild-mannered. so ap-
parently sincere, that the half billion
dollar business soon was lost sight of
and they felt sOmehow-these human
beings with only a wretched chance at
the best but with a soul and a love Of
life like his-they found a friend.
They were coming together from the
widely separated poles, like a flash of
lightning.
After weeks spent in living their
lives, the big meeting was called at
Pueblo. 1t was attended by delegates
from all the mines. The delegates
were selected by the men themselves,
In secret meeting and by secret ballot.
No company influence was exerted.
He laid before them his Industrial
scheme, since adopted by all the min
ing towns In the district and officially
approved by the Colorado Industrial

We went into Fremont county one

bad actor. Rockefeller found him at

fifty feet and has wide-spreading
branches and immense quantities of
fruit of the size and shape of cherries.
The nearly transparent yellOwish skin

seeds are so saponaceous as to be
used instead of soap by many people
of Ecuador. being equivalent to more
than fifty times their weight of that

HERD Law MAY
BE SUSPENDED
Law Says That Law May Be Suspend.
ed Upon Petition of 25 Per Cent
Of Voters in Any Township

Farmers in Des Laos township are
considering the proposition of having
the herd law suspended from Nov. l.,
1917, to April 1, 1918. Any township,
according to a state law, may have the
herd law suspended by the following
plan: A petition setting out the time
when the law is to be suspended must
be signed by at least rs per cent of the
number of voters who cast their bal
lots in the township at the last general
election. This is filed with the county
auditor and within ten days the coun-
ty commissioners shall declare the
herd law suspended for the period des-
ignated. The matter must then come
up for a vote at the next general cleo
ton, but becomes operative immedi-
ately after the commissioners declare
the law imperative. Other townships
may take up this matter Owing to
the scarcity of feed it is certain that
such an arrangement would prove
great saving, especially should there
be little snow the coming winter. Such
an arrangement might cause farmers
to go to considerable bother in fencing
their hay stacks.
