SPECIAL SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE ENDS.
spsais 4 Good Deal Of Money; Provides
FM 1 Bond Issue, Al Increase Of 4 Malt
Mil h he State Levy, Etc.

After eighteen days the legisla-
ture ended last Saturday evening,
Not all was done that was expect
ed Of it by some, and more was
done than was desired by some.
A bodd Issue Of $2,5O0.OO0 was
authorized, a half mill levy was au-
thorized for war purposes, and a
aat tax on corporations was pro-
vided to pay the interest on the
bonds and this will eventually pay
of the bonds.
There was little dispute on the
wisdom Of any Of the above.
A state oonstabulary was proyid-
ed for, and there was the greatest
6ght. Some professed to see in
the force q menoce for freedom Of
labor, etc, while others insisted
that such was necessary to pro.
tect lives and property.
The bill was near death several
times, but was finally passed by a
very good vote.
One bill was passed which makes
IL an offense to destroy food for
the purpose Of enhancing the price.
The governors call limited the
legislature in his call so that it
was not possible to deal with the
price Of coal or food.
For this the governor has been
severly criticised, but he evidently
thot it unwise to attempt to go in
to that problem at this time.
The march Of events will show
which is right, perhaps.
Governor Gunter did not please
the Denver Post. Do you know
Of any governor that ever did
please the Post?

ST0NEHAM LAND
OWNER FINDS A
HIDDEN FORTUNE

When Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Keller
of Ashland, Neb.. stopped of in
Stoneham last week on their way
to Estes park from their Nebraska
home they learned that they we're
several thousand dollars richer
than they had known.
Thirty years ago Mrs. Keller
came to Stonehsm county and
homesteaded on a piece of land
five miles from here. In spite Of
the hardships and deprivations Of
frontier life she stuck to her job
long enough to get a title to her
homestead.
She then returned to the east
and was married. Since then she
had not been in Colo ado to see
land, but had kept up the taxes in
the hope that some time it would
have some cash value.
Il would have sold the land any
time for 50 an acre" she said, "and
my main reason for stopping of
in Stoneham was to find some buy
er who had the cash to make such
Purchase. When I left here, this
part Of the county was what the
novelists call bowling wilderness
and there was no sale for small
pieces of land. Last week | came
here to find that my land has pass.
ed the $40, $40 and $50 marks, and
it looks so good to me that | am
going o hold it for $40 an acre.
The Kellers are enthusiastic in
their praises for the Stoneham dis
trict as it now is. They realize
that they have neglected a rich op-
portunity and plan to develop the
property and make a home of it.

HELPMEETS ARE NEEDED YET
Testimony of Suffragist Plainly Shows
That Mere Man Cannot Do
Without Them,

There is no use denying 1t, mister
man cannot exist without a helpmeet,
a New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. The wom-
en- themselves admit this much, but
they deny emphatically that they are
dependent upon the sterner sex. No,
indeed. 1t was over at the votes for
women headquarters recently that the
well-known and oft accepted theory
of the dependency of women upon
mere man was attacked.
Someone had volunteered the fear
that women will always be regarded
as weak and dependent as long as it
is necessary for friend wife to call
upon hubby to button up her waist in
the back or see if the hooks are all
tight or if her hat is on straight, and
if her hair is all over her head. The
very fact that man is at all times able
to care for his sartorial self alone was
cited as an example Of the varying in
dependence of the two. But that isn't
always So" replied one Of the state
campaigners. "My husband went away
on a campaign trip this summer for
two weeks and every single night he
had to wire me to ask where he would
be likely to find his pajamas."

HUSBAND THE BETTER LOVER
He Is Practical, Demonstrating His A.
lection in Deeds Rather
Than in Words.

Invariably the radiantly happy mar
ricd woman of fifty has adopted the
mans point of view regarding her life.
The average man is better lover
than the average woman, because he
loves practically. showing affection i'll
acts rather than in words. From the
beginning his home is his inventive to
effort. Sometimes. after marriage, as
demands increase. he becomes so en-
crossed in his purpose that he forgets
TO talk of love.
Then it is that the wife, who has
small understanding of love in action.
pines because she is sure he has grown
cold. No, he is at fever heat, lest he
fail in providing physical proof of his
affection.
The woman who finds happiness In
married life has Il sufficiently mascu-
line outlook to understand him. She,
instead of hrooding over imaginary
Sights, in return proves her devotion
by work. Her domestic duties are dig
nified by love, consequently she can
fix her thoughts upon something di-
verting while she mends socks, forget
ting the commonplace.
She ecu hear the song of the bird
or think of the story she read last eve
ming while she does the work of the
absent cook. To her it is a joy to
plan attractive meals that will add to
the efficiency of her loved ones. She
has a professiOn-hOme making

SEEK SAFETY IN LANDING
High Speed Airplanes Have Drawback
That Engineers Are Now
Trying to Overcome.

At the present writing there is no
ceeded $50 miles in steady flight, and
these are only the lightest and most
dangerous types, with landing speeds
of from rs to 90 miles an hour Few,
if any, have been equipped with en-
gines exceeding $50 horsepower.
There is no inherent reason why this
horsepower cannot be approximately
doubled. Carl, Snyder writes in Col
lier's. This would be sufficient to
drive a strongly constructed reliable
triplane, carrying perhaps two passen-
gers, at from 20 to 80 miles an hour
faster than any airplane has yet flown.
Such a machine is actually under con-
struction in this country; and as the
Germans have been steadily a little
ahead of the allies, so far as their ma
chimes are concerned, there is little
reason to doubt that similar expert
ments are under way in Germany.
If some retarding device can be
found which will lower the landing
speed to a reasonably safe point, these
machines will outclass anything that
has so far been built.
AS far as the design of these engines
is concerned, they differ in no import
ant particular, except their weight
from the finer type of motor car mo-
tors. A fine aero engine is simply an
astonishingly clever piece of mechan-
ical construction. 1t is very nearly
handmade from end to end.

RUSSIA. COUNTRY OF FAMINE
Peasants, Next to Orientals, Are Re-
garded as the Hungriest People
on Face of Globe.

Next to the proletariat of India and
China. the Russian peasant feels the
pinch of poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other citizen on earth. the National
Geographic magazine asserts.
One of the earliest famines in Rus
STA of which there is any definite rec
ord was that of 1900. which continued
for three years, Hith-a death Sslill -ess;
100000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats
were eaten; the strong oyercame the
weak and in the shambles of the pub
lie markets human flesh was sold.
Multitudes of the dead were found
with their mouths stuffed with straw.
Three Russian famines of compare
lively recent date were among the
most severe in the history of the coun-,
try. They occurred in 1891, 1906 and
1911. During the ten years following
the first of these periods of dearth the
government allotted nearly S125,0OO,-
600 for relief work, but the sums were
not judiciously expended.
The famine of 1911 extended over
one-third of the area of the empire in
Europe and affected more or less
100000 people, while 100000 were
reduced to starvation. Weeds, the
bark of trees and bitter bread made
from acorns constituted the chief diet
for the destitute This was the most
widespread and most severe famine
which has befallen a European nation
in modern times.

SAVING STEPS IN BUSINESS
Pinch in Transportation Facilities
Call for Closest Attention of
American Industry.

American business is quite likely to
learn, partly as result of the war,
that to survive and develop properly
1t must cut out waste to a far greater
extent perhaps than men have
dreamed, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
One of the biggest leaks is probably in
transportation, and as people Ameri-
cans have been reckless in their use of
this commodity, if it can be called
such. With the present pinch in trans
portation facilities, now is good time
to take account of stock.
American business and industry will
have to learn how to save it's steps.
Some day it will learn that it is folly
to drag coal barges 80 miles down the
Delaware and 100 miles or so up the
coast when ship canal to New York
could cut off the latter leg of that
trip. Some day it will see that there
is no use hauling a very large part OF
the fuel which now clogs the railroads
and that it would be cheaper to ex-
tract its chemical contents and burn
the resulting coke to make electric
current in great central stations for
distribution over wide area.
The more American business saves
from purposeless and unscientific cart
ing of things about, the more will be
available for serious and beneficent
aims. Americans should save their
steps.

Photograph Frames.

For framing a single photograph for
the wall, a novel idea is to place it in
the upper part Of a moderately large
mat. When the picture is in sepia, the
mat should be in tan or brown, the
frame brown or gold. When the photo,
graph is gray the mat should be also,
with a gray or gold frame. A wide
gray frame sometimes takes the place
of a mat.

a harmonious plain material; wire

Internal Combustion Encine.

The Diesel engine is an internal
combustion engine which runs on
crude oil and the lowest grades Of fuel
oil. 1t burns cheaper fuel and less of
it than a gasoline engine. Its con-
structiCn is heavier, but more simple,
as it requires neither magnetic nor
carburetor, positive ignition and burn
ing of the fuel without explosions be-
ing obtained from heat of great inten-
sity, generated by compression of the
air between the piston and the cylin-
Ger head and the liquid fuel being
atomized and sprayed into the heated
air in the combustion chamber under
great pressure. 1t is claimed that the
Diesel engine converts into available
mechanical energy a greater percent
age of the power represented by the
heat contained in the fuel consumed
than any other form of engine yet pro-
duced.
