NOTHING DoING' IN COTTON
Kitchen Maids Of Sultan Of Morocco

The sultan of Morocco was always

distinction between public funds and
private funds-all belonged to the sui
tan. 1t was therefore no easy task
TO arrive at an agreement us to which
We're state and which private debts. so
inextrieably mixed had they been in
the past There was. for instance, a
Dill for some hundreds of yards Of
very expensive and very fine crimson
cloth. Naturally the protectorate au-
thorities scheduled this among the pri-
vate debts. The sultan protested. The
cloth, he said, had been purchased for
governmental purposesl-in fact for
the trousers of the imperial kitchen
maids; for there are several hundred
siave-women employed in preparing the
palace food. The protectorate govern
ment refused to be responsible for
tlls debt. The ex-sultan drew nm n
historical treatise to prove that i'm.
perlal Kitchen maids were part and
parcel OF the state, and passed like
the palace itself. from sultan TO sui
tan The principle was accepted but
the debt was dlsallowed on the ground
that these good ladies did not require
such expensive stuff for their neither
garments. A cotton material, they ar
gued, would have equally well served
Inc purpose. The sultan's reply was
unanswerable and crushing. "In En-
rope he said, ut may be the custom
Tor the Imperial Kitchen maids TO weor

OF their position" There was nothing
more to be said. The debt was paid

Aborieines Of Texas Unlike the Fiere.
Tribes Of Other Sections Of
the Country.

Stone Implements found In ancient

French, Spanish or American settlers

state were not like the fierce tribes
encountered In modern times by the
white settlers.

long:forgotten village sites. Their In
vestlgations lead to the belief that the
original people of the middle part OF
the state were hunters, while those of
the eastern part near the timber belt
were followers of agricultural pur-
suits and were skilled in the manufac-
ture OF pottery. They resembled the
mound builders. The western part Of
the state was a more elevated and
less arid plateau. Here the people re.

Some OF the tribes are reported to

OF the eighteenth century Apaches,
comanches and other savage tribes
roamed over Texas, following the buf-

Ihere seems to have been constant
hostility with these Indians, In which
many smaller tribes were extermi-
mated.

The present outlook is such as
to make necessary a change in
the Pastors schedule if Stoneham
is to receive anything like regular
service this winter. We therefore
announce that until further notice
two services a Sunday will be held
at each point on alternate Sundays.
The schedule is as follows for the
remainder Of the month:
December ! 4 and 28 at Stoneham
December 2 at Raymer
II the work suffers from this
plan, we can make It up in greater
faithfulness. Sunday School will
continue, Of course, every Sunday
morning at both places.
We wish you all a Merry
Christmas.

MORE SNOW AND
INTENSE COLD

The Oldest inhabitant got a Jar
from the weather man the past week.
Saturday was a little stormy. so
much SO that no trains tried to get
through on the branch.
Sunday morning was better, but
towards evening 1t began to storm.
and cold wave followed, growing
worse and colder until some time
Tuesday
Tuesday morning the mercury re-
gistered 30 below here, SO below at
Sterling. some reports placed It as
low as AS at Greeley, and AZ at Sid
ney.
1t was the coolest we have seen
in the eight winters we have spent
in Colorado.
Trains did not resume service un-
til Tuesday evening when two en-
sines pushed snow plow through
the drifts and brought a car load Of
belated mail
Yesterday, both trains arrived
somewhat late, but the west bound
encountered high wind before 1t
reached Cheyenne and was drifted
in so that this morning the snow
plow was sent from Sterling to clear
the track.
No school trucks have made the
rounds this week, and but few have
tried 1t. Some say that there Is as
much snow on the ground now as
fell In the early part of December in
1913. Last evening the board decid-
ed that ii would be best to dscontin-
he school until after Christmas The
reason for this was not entirely on
account of the snow. but there Is on
ly about weeks supply of coal at
the school house, and 1t is conceed-
ed that the needs OF families must
be supplied before the school can ex-
pect to secure more.
Grover schools have closed until
Jan 5, and while Buckingham schools
are continued, attendance is only
about 40 per cent.

The .Amen Corner"

The phrase "amen corner Is said to
have originated In London. where, at
the end Of Paternoster row, the monks
at one time finished their recitation Of
the "Pater Noster" as they went In
procession. on Corpus Christi day TO
st. Paul's cathedral. They began in
Paternoster row with the Lords prayer
In Latin, continuing 1t to the end of
the street, and then said ''amen" at
the corner Of the row. As used in this
country the phrase described the cor
ner Of church where the elderly mem.

Third Number Of Lecture Course
Next Tuesday Evening, Dec. 18th

The growth has helped job printing
but has done little for the newspaper
as yet. Grocery business has BOOM
ed. A hundred new families eat a
lot, but 100 new subscribers bring
little money to a newspaper In a
year. especially when one knows that
there is no profit in subscriptions.
Nevertheless. the newspaper and
printing business has increased con-
siderably through the growth of the
town, and the newspapers have been
able to make . respectable showing
They have looked well and have been
a credit to the town.
That's the point. Some counties
have about twice as many newspa-
pers as they should have; and those
papers are SO cheaply put together
that they do not shout to every
stranger far or near: This paper Is
good paper because 1t is printed in
good town." In too many coun-
ties. the newspapers say, "this is a
rundown newspaper issued from a
dirty little shop in poor and un-
progressive little burg"
We do not know what the Blades
price will be for 1920. but we hope
to be able to represent the town as
well as In the past, in spite OF sever
al thousand dollars of increased
wages we are now obliged to pay"
We hope our readers have read all
of the above article. II the publisher
in town like Brighton finds the
problem somewhat vexing what do
you think 1t Is like here?
We can say this, we do not expect
to raise subscription rates now, 1t
could not be done In justice to the
public now. We do not feel like ad-
vertising rates would stand much OF
boost. We do not feel like reduc-
ing the size Of the paper. We have
thought of doing the latter, but we
hate that SO much. that we presume
that We will have to work little
harder and see what another year
will bring forth.

Francis Tighe is mentioned in the
honor roll for the Denver All-City
High School teams after the two
teams had been seected from the
student football teams OF the Denver
schools.
Tighe has been playing only part
OF the time with North Denver High
The Rocky Mountain News says:
"'iighe Of North was given honor
able mention because OF his splendid
work Saturday. This was his first
full game Of the season, however,
and 1t would be unfair to place him
In preference to men who have play
ed throughout the season"
The Post tells OF the game last
Saturday between Manual and North
Denver, saying in part:
For North, Tighe plunging In the
back field. coupled with McGrews
long end runs were the outstanding
features" Also:
"McGrew and Tighe busted thru
Manuals lines or several good gains
in the last quarter. North had the
ball on the ten-yard line. Under the
shadow of Manuals own goal, the
Thunderbolts held for three downs.
Then the mighty Tighe ripped the
line for the third touchdown Also:

the Japanese merchants and manu-

use Of printers ink are not disposed
to limit themselves to dull, prosaic

Of their wares. Among the entertain

these:

gestion, heartburn, sour belching, food
repeating, bloat and gas and makes
the stomach cool, pure. sweet and
comfortable.
Dentists warn us against the bad
effects Of acid mouth, pointing out
that the acid eats through the enamel
of the teeth, causing them to decay.
You can easily imagine then the
amount of damage excess acid will
cause to the delicate organization Of
the stomach!
Thousands Of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtained are
so remarkable as to be almost unbe-
lievGble. Yet their letters Of graft
tude, many of which are received
daily, prove absolutely that EATONIO
does all and even more than we claim.
The medical profession, too, recog.
nizes the great value Of this wonder
full remedy. A learned Michigan doc
tor wrote recently: II have had such
wonderful success with EATONIC that
want every one to know how quick
~ 1t will neutralize the acidity Of the
stomach (acid-stomach) and the stom-
again, and the sick man well and
happy once more"
