EVANGELINE TONIGHT
WHITE DRESSES FOR CHILD
Rem.

The demand for white dresses for
the Spring season has been unusual
w large, including all sorts of ma
terials, but especially light weight
fancy silks and very fine fancy cot
tons.
These white dresses have been
selling for various purposes, but
chiefly in the more fancy styles for
parties and for Sunday wear.
Many of the best sellers have been
suitable for commencement, con-
firmation and graduation dresses.
AS the warmer weather ap-
proaches, interest is maintained by
retailers in sizes suitable for ages
from six to sixteen and made of
fine and fancy cottons or of wash
able silks, many Of which are trim
med with embroidery, lace or hand
needle work. The more elaborate
styles are often made of white net,
sheer silk crepe and other dia-
phanous fabrics.
Party frocks made Of crepe de
Chine, sheer silk crepe and chiffon
have sold literally, both in white
and in the delicate shades of blue,
pink, flesh and yellow.
There has been a demand, too,
for dresses for older girls and
misses of serges or similar fabrics
in combination with novelty checks,
stripes and plaids. Dresses Of tat
feta and crepe de Chine have also
been good for these ages.
In popular priced dresses, there
is a growing call for those of ging-
ham, percale, linen and reps.

STORY OF PARTED LOVERS
ADMIRABLY TOLD IN FILM

The sweetest love story ever told
is the subject Of the new William
Fox master film production which
stars Theda Bara. Shekespeare's
immortal "Romeo and Juliet" por-
trayed by cast Of well-known ar
fists, with a setting more sumptuous
and magnificent than anything yet
done in moving pictures, furnishes
Miss Bara the first opportunity she
has had for portraying the young
girl whose heart overflows with JOY
and enthusiasm.
In the role Of Romeo, Harry
billiard is superbly cast. He plays
admirably the young lover who can
not brook separation from his wife,
even in death.
The story Of the play tells how
two lovers are married secretly, be-
cause of feud which has long ex-
listed between their families. Just
after the ceremony, Romeo becomes
embroiled in a duel with Tybalt
John Webb Dillion), cousin Of Jul
let, and kills him. The result is that
the bridegroom is banished from
Verona.
Juliet's father tries to force her
to marry Count Paris (Einar Lin
den), and the girl, in desperation,
takes a heavy sleeping potion,
which makes her parents think her
dead. Romeo also gets tidings of
the supposed death Of his wife, and
hurries back to Verona.
There, in the tomb Of the Capu-
let's, he takes poison, and falls dead
besides Juliet's bier. The unhappy
girl, awakens from the effects of
the potion, finds him there and kills
herself with his dagger. This won
derful feature will be shown at the
Evangeline Thursday.

Ignatz Bacher Dies After,
Seige of Ill Health

! On Wednesday evening. Oct.
81, at 6:45, Ignatz Bacher, So,
passed away after several years
of declining health.
Mr.. Bacher came to Colorado
thirty,one yelrs ago at the age
OF Il years and settled at George
town where for eleven years he
engaged in mining, being one Of
the owners of the Carr gold min
ing company. AT the aye OF %
he married Miss Mar, Kapp al.r

children, eight of whom still sur
vive. they are Mrs. Elizabeth
Sedlemeyer, st. Anthony. Idaho;
Joseph at home; Ignatz, Sterling;
Mary, Albert, Anna, John, and
Lena all at home.
The Bacher family came down

ed the William Grrves homes'e I'd

Seems to be Some Misun-
derstanding of Plan

There seems to be a miSundcr-
standing among some persons III
regard to the purpose of the U.
5. food administration pledge card
campaign. Reports have come to
Federal Food Administrator John
c. Vivian OF jefferson county,
from some precinct chairmcn that
certain women have delayed sign
ing the pledge cards for the rca-
son that they are, already saving
all then can. In some instances,
they have been known to remark
that they have always saved ana
that the signing of pledge cat,.
will not encourage them to save
any more.
The truth of this is very obvi-
Gus, and still the fallacy OF such
a remark can be plainly seen. Ii
it true that most of the house
wives of the county and state are
in the habit of saving and not
wasting food, but the government,
does not know this. The purpos,
of the pledge card campaign is to
allow the people to officially in
form the government that they
are cooperating in food conscr-
walton to help win the war. The
government has taken over tn,
control of the food supplies OF th>
United States. There are CERTAIN
commodities that are scarce. 'rh,
only way that the, government
can inform the people to be saw
ing on certain staples from time
to time is to have card index SO
that bulletins may be mailed from
federal headquarters to the hoLse
wives throughout the nation.
The whole idea of the pledge
card is to cooperate with the gov.
ernmcnt in winning the war. Oul
allies must be fed. So must oul
own soldiers. The houscwif.
might be as saving as possibl.
and at the same time, she nigh
be using those things which ar,
not absolutely necessary and fol
which there might be a substi
tute. By signing the pledge care
the housewife pledges herself to
the government. Until that care
is signed, the government doe.
not know whether the co-opcra
ton is Forthcoming or not. 1t i.
merely pucdgc OF loyalty to ;
sovereign nation.

Town Board Creates Sink
ing Fund for Bonds.

The Town Board held short
session Monday night for the pur-
pose OF certifying the levy for
the town the ensuing year. 1t
was thought wise to start sink
ing fund for the payment of the
water bonds as they became due
1t was decided to raise the levy tc
nine mills, which on the new val
uation would raise about $3.50 90,
1t is also expected that the earn
ings of the plant over and above
the interest, which is about S2,1Ue,
will be between $500 and $500,
and as the present levy for gen
reral expenses this year raised
something over $4,400, it was
thought that by strict economy
the same levy on the increased
valuation would enable the board
to set aside all told next year
about $1,000.
The ordinance creating the or
iginal issue of bonds of $4,000
requires that sinking fund shall
be started nine years from March
1st, 1910, SO that it will be seen
that this board is getting busy in
reasonable length of time pre-
vious to the required time.
According to the ordinance, al
ter 1920. 20 per cent of the 1000
bonded Indebtedness will be due
and payable each year until the
indebtedness is wiped out. This
would work hardship upon the
taxpayers and the effort will be
made by the present board at
least, to take care of large por-
tion of the first years payment. 1t
is stated by men who are familiar
with such matters that it is doubt
ful if the bondholdcrs will make
temand for payment when they
b, ,oflc duo, and that il they
should, in tEeir opinion, il would
Weuld b. an cas3 matter to refund
;herl, so that thee is little occas-
ion for iorry on that score.
A request was made on the
board b yJohn Ycung's rcprcscn-
tativcs 10 allow hi N to construct
a cess pool in the alley back OF
his building to rclic',e the bad sit
uation in connection with the san
itary conditions. but the board
thought it would be establishing
a dangerous precedent and rcfus-
ed the request.
