interviewing Ernest Truck seems TO be
a good part of one dramatic reporters
life job. At least it has seemed so in
the last year. with this facile comedian
ricochetting from play to play. So the
other night when the reporter went to
the Longacre Theatre to see that an
interview was taken out of the much
travelled player it was but natural that
Truck should open the conversational
siege with this shot:
"Helo-once more we meet upon the
Rialto. We appear to have seen each
other in practically every, theatre in New
York-no house is safe from us. ] don't
think I've played in the Punch and Judy
Theatre yet-but wait! It's not SO small

mute evidence OF how much of bird

has lately been over the theatrical map.

aging kilograms on his stepping into the

Sprinkle the powder over the article
then roll it up and let il stand for "a
hours. Next, open il up and brush

For white .urs, French chalk is a

above and always brush briskly after
the article has been cleaned.
Velvets may be cleaned by covering
with warm French chalk and allow

end of that time brush off the chall

creases may be removed by standing

TELEPHONE IS TRULY AN
AMERICAN INSTITUTION
College News-Notes:,l

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
The telephone is an American n
stitution and we Americans have
learned to use it better than any 9TH
er people Four-fifths Of the worlds
telephones are in the United States.
In some countries the telephone is a
government monopoly and its develop
ment is not pushed. In others, its
expansion is prevented by unwise
measures that restrict its use. Old
and long standards Of domestic and
business customes sometimes halt its
introduction.
In America we have pushed the de-
velopment of the telephone. No other
c. 'untry has the exchange system de-
veloped 10 givs such convenient scr
vice. In some Of the more progress
sive European countries, the exchange
system is SO cumbersome that it usu-
ally requires ten or fifteen minutes
to get connection.
The etelephone in this country has
expedited the transaction of business
Without our efficient telephone ser.
vice, the work of most of our great
industries would be slowed up and
made more expensive. No other coun.
try has q rural system that compares
with ours. The telephone has defini.
tely affected and nodded our business
methods and our social and domestic
life.

Dear Mary
] really haven't much time to write
today or much news to tell, but as
am going down town pretty soon, Ill
drop you a few lines anyway.
The open season on fall hats is on,
and | am going down town to pick
me out one. Miss Bessie Estes pur-
chased the millinery stock of Mrs Z.
l. Martins and l am going to call on
her. Mrs La N. Rogers had q big
millinery opening this week and !
got lovely new coat.
Jack is down town listening to the
election news. He is very much in
terested in the Republican convention
now being held in Denver. His old
friend Frank Goudy is up for govern
or and DIR. Rockefeller is up for Rep
resentative. They have also nominat-
ed J. NJ. Allen for county commission
er and Tom Brown for district Judge.
Those who were chosen delegates to
the convention were S. b. Clark, B.
John Potter, Jesse Corum,, Mrs. b.
+. Pitney, J. NJ. Allen, b. F. Martin,

Some people must think our Gun
nison river is another Mississippi. at
any rate, a party of surveyors who
are looking over the territory in re-
gard to supplying the Montrose dis
trict with water from the Gunnison
river, tried their luck rowing in boats
from Cimarron down. The men in
the party were the Mesrs. Pelton, An

Their boats upset and they lost most

years from now some of our young
men will be able to take a Sunday

MAKE SCHOOL LUNCH
ATTRACTIVE AND FILLING

Now. with school opening and the
the problem of filing the lunch pail
for the kiddies remember to see that
the dinner box is not merely some
thing that viii fill 1t, but something
that will satisfy the little folks ap-
petites as well. Make a real contrib
ution to the food which the children
require to meet the needs of their
growing bodies and active minds to
satisfy their appetites and keep them
in good health.
It's an old, old story, yet new to
some, SO here we publish again a few
good suggestions for the dinner box:
Sandwiches with sliced, tender meat,
baked apple, cookies or small frosted
individual cakes; slices Of meat loaf
with thin slices of bread and butter,
stewed fruit, cookies or gingerbread; !;
crisp rolls followed out and filed with
chopped meat or fish and moistened
and seasoned with a little salad dres-
sing, an orange or an apple, or some
kind Of fruit. These are but q sug-
gestion. There are any number Of
good combinations suitable for the
children's dinner, and which should

WHY NOT A SCREENED PORCH
FOR NEXT SPRING ?

Every home, and particularly the
rural home, should have a screened
back porch opening of the kitchen on
the side which is not exposed to the
sun, If possib'o. If this Is impossible,
vines may be planted along the
screen, which, when they begin to
climb, make a delightful shade, as
well as an attractive appearance. OF
course, one cannot always have things
AS they want thern, however, where
it is possible, screened porch opening
into the garden is great advantage.
The porch should at least be large
enough to accommodate the many
articles used by the busy housewife
the mop, broom, kindling and fuel box,
the latter might be a large, hinged
affair which any man can easily
make, and should have an opening in
the lower end, permitting the filing
of a coal seattle. This box can be
filed once week and saves the wom-
en- of the house the daily task Of
Juggling heavy buckets of coal from
the coal house. There should also be
room enough for a long, narrow table,
to be used for holding jars Of pre-
serves, etc, when canning. A hinged
ironing table can be made to attach
to the side Of the wall and can be
fastened up out of the way after the
ironing has been attended to-. The
screening should fit securely and be
taken care of, that is, it should never
be pushed against, this will cause it
to stretch or bulge and pretty soon
it will begin to pull away from its
fastenings. Now is a good time to
see to these little things. 1t will
save time and bother next spring.
Where there are growing children
in the family, row of hinged-cover
boxes can be arranged along one end
of the floor and each youngster taught
to keep his playthings, skates, balls
and bats, dolls, etc in their own box,
thereby eliminating the clutter that
is so often visible in many homes
where children are allowed to drop
their belongings any place and leave
them for mother to pick up. Maybe
she doesn't really mind it, but it is
not fair to her, and all these little
steps take time. Save her as many
as possible. Some day you'll under
stand and be glad.
Those screened-in back porches are
often delightful places to serve the
meals on hot day, and can be made
very attractive also. II you have an
electric lighting system in your home,
some Of the electric cookers will save
the work Of starting . hre when only
oAe hot dish, Or beverage Il needed.

and appetizing appearance. Eatables
which are sticky or easily mashed,

the rest Of the contents. Waxed pa-

OvERHAULING THE WINTER
FCRS AND vELyETS

Those beautiful tints now so lavish

remind US that however beautiful the
autumnal season may be, il is, never
theiess, a sign that winter will soon

often few articles that really can

thorough cleaning, and which can be
taken care Of at home just as easily.
