A. H. Webster, chairman of

in a lot of time and is to be
commended for the splendid
success of the undertaking.
Henry and Will Mcneil were

Twelve hundred heifers

the state and those who had
charge of getting the heifers

have been 5000. The heifers
were sold at auction Thursday.

ABSENCE OF FLU CASES

dale and w. F. Lightner Of
Monte Vista were chosen vice
presidents. J. NJ. Haythorn Of
Eaton was elected secretary
and treasurer.
As this Is a matter affecting
all potato-growing sections Of
the state, we have erdcavored
to learn what the results Of in
spection have been to the
Monte Vista district.
It seems that Prof. Sandsten
simply spoke the truth when
he declared that the Greeley
farmers were to blame for not
having a better market for
their potatoes, as their product
was not up to standard-a dis
eased, knotty and poor crop Of
spuds, having planted Pearls
and poor seed at that. The in
spectors could not, therefore,
give them the classification de-
sired.
In the Monte Vista district
the condition is entirely differ
ent. The farmers had planted
good Brown Beauty seed, in
most cases hand selected, and
their product was given higher
grade classification and brot
decidedly higher prices on the
market. While there have
been cases of carclessness in
bringing in potatoes slightly
frosted or otherwise not high
class, the Monte Vista farmers
have cheerfully accepted the
regulation of the Food Admin
istration and have benefited
by the inspection and grading.
From the investigation that
the Journal has been able to
make, inspection under a state
or federal law is the only rea-
sonable method of marketing
potatoes and places each pota-
to-growing district and every
farmer right up against the
proposition of receiving a rela-
lively higher price for relative
ly higher grade of stuff. The
same system is used in market
ing fruit. One expects to pay
a fancy price for fancy apples
and there would be a big and
legitimate kick if a box Of ap-
Piles labeled fancy grade
should contain a few fancy, a
few choice and a lot of culls.
While the potato market
here has not been as good as it
should have been, it has been
definitely stated by parties in a
position to know, that our po-
tatoes would not have brought
over seventy cents if we had
not had the government inspec-
ton.
The reputation of the San
Luis valley as a potato growing
section has been and will con-
tinue to be made upon the
quality of its products. Buy
ers in the East are now asking
for San Luis Valley Brown
Beauty potatoes because they
are the best ever produced, but
it would not take a great many
cars of mixed types, sizes and
grades to spoil the demand and
the market.

ty had been deteriorating for

With the tide of fashion ser steadily
toward capes and dolmans for outside
wraps, designers have settled them
selves to the development of these
two styles of garments, and to making
combinations of them and modifying
them us summer comes on. 1t is safe
to predict that these same styles will
90 over into the fall and winter sea-
son, with dolmans finally gaining the
ascendancy for cold weather wear. AS
for capes, they are always good style,
because their lines are graceful and
they do not look old-fashioned in any
season. There is nothing so good for
formal dress.
One of the latest and best models
In capes appears in the picture above.
It is of black satin, lined with soft.
figured silk, and Is a very ample and
Iignified garment. There is a deep fit
ted yoke, really short cape, about

front. There are long sleeves of the
crepe set in deep cuffs of taffeta, and
the crushed girdle is made of the silk,
which is also used as a binding for the
plain neck.
The dress at the right is designed
for an older woman, and employs plain
taffeta and figured georgette. The style
is shown in several color combinations
in which certain shades of blue with
white, and brown with white in the
georgette are matched up with the
same shades in silk. The skirt is made
of the taffeta, with long tunic drapery
of the geOrgette. The edges of the
drapery are piped with cording COW
cred with taffeta. A vest of the silk
set in the body extends below the
waist line and ends in a long point.
and the sleeves call attention to the
fact that they are only three-quarter
length with a faring band of taffeta
set on below the elbow. The tunic
profits by the example set by the bod
ice and is also cut with long pointed
panel at the front that is finished with
Il handsome tassei. 1t is shorter at
the sides and longer at the back,
where it has square instead of
pointed finish at the bottom.
The Colorado statesman., 1919-05-10

Designers of afternoon frocks find
the combination of taffeta silk and
georgette crepe so entirely to their
liking that they have turned out an
endless variety of models of this kind.
And now comes changeable taffeta to
re-enforce this already strong combi-
nation and to insure 1t long life and
unequaled popularity for the summer.
Among so many colorful and graceful
dresses there are widely different
styles, so that their appeal Is univer-
sal, for every woman can find some
thing to suit her. The two models
shown in the group above are of en-
tirely different character, but both are
made of taffeta combined with
georgette.
The dress at the left is quaint and
youthful, and shows n skirt of tan
colored crepe over an underskirt of
an and blue changeable taffeta. There
are six rufiles. with narrow headings,
made of the taffeta, set one above the
other, on the skirt. The crepe blouse
over short bodice of taffeta, is quite
plain. except for two groups of round
Silk-covered buttons at each side and
simple embroidered motifs across the

lines and richness of garment so clev-
erly and yet so simply designed. are
shown.
Wraps for summer wear are made
of tricolette, silk jersey and other
suitable weaves of silk, and some OF
them are unlined. These new heavy
weaves lend themselves so well to
capes that we may expect to see them
entering their ranks In force. 1t is
not likely that anything will ever out
class good black satin as fabric for
making capes; one Is safe in choosing
it and 1t can be worn in all seasons of
the year. This particular cape is sup
piled with small scarf to be worn
with it when the weather Is chilly.
