urged liberal appropriations for the
work Of the board.
Among the most important asas-
urcs affecting the dsparsnsat are the
following:
The land settlement bill. which

members and provides . nth lew 70

lands Of the state and their sale to

The statistical bill. which provides
for tho collection Of asricultural and

Immigration through the county a.
scssors. II provides alse for . sur
vey Of tho state. to b carried on In
conjunction with the state gsolosist.
tho state engineer and the asricul.
tural college. Both provisions are
Wal mly supported BY the college and
other state Institutions and BY the
United States department OF asricul-
ture.
Tho real estate license bill, pre-
pared by realty men Of the state.
which provides for the licensing Of
real estate dealers By the Board Of
immigration and for the revocation
Of the licenses Of dishonest dealers
after . hearing before the Comnis-
sioner Of Immigration. This meas
ure has been prepared BY q confer
ence Of realty men and was not in
stiGated BY this Department but Il 10
believed Il will aid in preventing
many abuses whch now prevail.
The department appropriation bill.
which provides for . fund Of @SS.-
800 for the ordinary purposes Of the
department and for the state survey
and the collection Of statistics. The
Legislature two years ago appropri-
ated $66.o0o for the use Of the de-
partment but subseq quently the total
was cut to Ss9.3o0 by veto Of the
governor. owing to ovsr-appropria-
tions.
The bill providing for the appro-
priation Of $4,000 to the Board for
the purpose Of reimbursing exhibit
ors from Colorado at approved ex-
positions held outside the state. This
bill Is by Representative Wilcox Of
Montrose county.
Practically all Of the measures are
considered Of importance In tho re-
construction work which the state
must undertake II It II to compete
with other western states. and the
program will consume more than .

PEOPLE NOT DRAWING ON
SAVINGS THIS CHRISTMAS

Dallas. Texas. Dec 24.-Although
Christmas expenditures are mounting
to q new high record in the eleventh
federal reserve district, reports from
banks indicate the people are not
depicting their savings accounts as
much as formerly has been the case.
according TO Frank ~. Smith. saw
ings director Of the Dallas federal
bank. He also said that few people
we're cashing their savings stamps
for Christmas money
This is due in a large measure
TO the fact that the people are more
and more awakening to the fact that
the time to save Is when times are
prosperous as is now the case" Mr..
Smith said "Too, many are realiz-
ing that It is not safe nor good bust
ness 10 spend recklessly in a few

of Aspironal and tell him to serve you

When your cold OF cough is re-

effective. the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy
