The Presbyterial year just closed

the history of the Peoples Church.
There has been a heightening of the
spiritual tone of the congregation in
a marked way. During the year the
membership raised three thousand
dollars short of less than fifty dollars.
The benevolences by the Peoples
church for the year offered a chal-
lenge to the other Churches of Pres
bytery. DIR. f. E. Bancroft, chairman
of the commission having charge OF
the Peoples Church, commended the
Presbyter and congregation most eX-
travagantly.
The Presbyter of Denver at its an
nual convention last Tuesday in the
First Presbyterian Church of Aurora
specially considered the need of the
work at Dearfield. The name of the
church was changed from the Union
Church of Dearfield to the Chapelton
Presbyterian Church of Dearfield.
Recommendation for a manse valuing
5000 for the Presbyter, Rev. o. j.

LIohts and the Color Scheme.

Did you ever wish that you could get
electric light bulbs TO match the color
scheme of your room? If so, you may
be glad to know, if you have not al
ready discovered the trick for your
self, that you may color them at home
to suit your own taste. 1t is very sim
pie. Just buy some water-color paints,
soft brush, and set to work. You
may paint them any shade that you
desire, and get lovely effect of soft
ened light through the painted glass.
For instance, if your living room is
done in shades of brown and yellow,
You can get beautiful sunshiny light
through bulbs painted a delicate yell

every success in this very responsible
position. Denver colored politicians
here's a lesson for you. Aim high and
achieve a representative public posi-

in conference with officials on any
question for the good of the people, as
after using you to insure their electlon

their dignity to confer with MENlALS'

PLANT FOR VICTORY"
IS HOOVER'S WAR CRY
To SUGAR BEET men

Colorado is up to bat again.
This time the state is facing a
shortage in the production of sug-
ar beets, and unless she hits the
ball by planting a larger sugar
beet acreage than ever before Vic
tory will swing in the balance
with Defeat.
The price paid the growers last year
for sugar beets was Sf.26 ton. This
year q federal food commission com
posed of representative growers and
manufacturers made a flat rate Of SIC
a ton. This rate was decided upon,
not to increase the price OF sugar to
the consumer or to enrich the grower
but to encourage the planting OF sugar
beets and decrease the danger OF a
sugar shortage In 1919.
The Importance OF increasing Colo
radios sugar beet production during
the coming year was emphasized by
a telegram received by the Colorado
Food Administration April IL. from
Herbert Hoover, federal food admins
traitor.
The telegram read in part:
"At the request OF the sugar beef
growers, the Food Administration
through the inquiry of various com
missions undertook to use its best of.
fices to secure price for beets which
would return fair profit to growers
throughout the beet regions.
THE factories having agreed to pay
the prices recommended and upon
basis much higher than was before re
ceived by the growers, and in accord
with the demands of the majority ol
growers / do trust that the grower'
will support the nations sugar supply
by enlarged planting.
Our shortage OF shipping and the
necessities of the allies make larger
demands upon our domestic sugal
next year than ever before and the
maintenance OF our own industry II
primary not only to the well-being Of
the growers but the nation as q
whole"
The fact that the land owners IL
beet sections receive one-fourth of the
gross proceeds of the beet crop, which
on the basis of a sixteen-ton yielt
would mean $40 per acre, is counted
on to influence landlords to continue
to raising beets.

Radlam is another example of the
En- lish fashion of telescoping words,
and comes from Bethlehem. The pri-
ory of st. Mary of Bethlehem in Lon
don was converted into a hospital for
the insane in 1902 and in the course of
time the name was shortened to Bel
lam, a word that came to be synonym
for madhouse. To open the door and
let the inmates escape would be Bed

phrase is used to describe intolerable

A Novel Treatment.

Wherever there is bay window one
invariably associates 1t with window
seat. A departure from this is broad
window shelf TO holG here and there
potted plant, or book or two. The
one drawback to this feature is that
one is too apt to clutter it with bric-a-
brac. If the broad expanse Of shelves
Is kept clear this treatment Is both
restful and decorative.

To Be Remembered.

Frugality is good, if liberality be
Joined with it. The first is leaving off

covetousness; the last without the first

an excellent temper.-William Penn.

The Little Short Tunic FrOck
4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

TAST year one kept hearing that
L. anything could be worn by the
woman who knew how to carry her
clothes. because there We're no arbitrary
laws regarding color or material. But
this year conditions are very different
and there are regulations. However.
these rules are easy to follow II one only
takes the time TO understand the fun
damental principles.
1t IL quite true. you have heard it a
million times, but it bears repeating as
many more-the silhouette is slim and
straight. This does not mean that your
skirt must be n hug -me-tight" affair.
In fact. that is not the idea at all of
the new things. There must not be any
suggestion of the form beneath.
The hip measure should be n guide to
you. If you have a hip measure of
forty-eight, don't attempt skirt with n
forty-eight hip and yard-wide hem,
for if you dc you will find you have
not gained a straight silhouette. Your
hem must be in proportion to your hin
measure and if you follow this you will
not have to worry about the baggy skirt.
For the women who are not thin
there are many ways of avoiding the
straight two-pieCe skirt. The draped
skirt very often proves a lfe-saver, al
ways with the drapery on long lines
and never punched. This should never
be attempted in why. stiff materials, but
always in a texture that will fall in soft
graceful folds The tunic. in all of its
various adaptations, is another means of
acquiring the straight silhouette and
still adhere TO the rules Of the 1918
fashions
There are the apron tunics. the spiral
and uneven effects, as well as the
stra light tunics of different degrees of
length that prove very helpful. One of
the short tunic dresses is shown today
but this is by no means intended for
the short stout woman. who should re-
frain from any model which has a ten
dency to cut her figure at the knees or
above.
This dress is developed in georgette
crepe and may be purchased in the va
rious colorings, as we'll as white Over
the straight foundation hangs the knee
length tunic, finished with a hem and
three tucks. Patch pockets tucked to
match the tunic are placed on either
side of the front and decorated with
buttons
The vestee and the deep pointed coll
lar are features which should be inter-
esting to the woman who desires to have
the straight lines carried out on the
| bodice.
