TOWN LONG WITHOUT BANK
Colorado Community, in Existence
More Than Century, Is Now
to Have institution.

The little Spanish town of San
Luis, the county seat of Costilla coun-
ty, Colo, in the lower end of the val
ley, will welcome its first bank when
the State Bank of San Luis opens its
doors for business. This little town
is more than one hundred years old,
and was one of the furthest outposts
of Spanish settlement that followed
the northward push of the Spanish
residents of Santa Fe and vicinity.
For nearly fifty years before the
first contingent of Americans, under
command of Gen. Frank Baldwin, now
a resident of Denver. arrived over La
Veta pass and established the military
post of Fort Garland, San Luis had
been a fiourishing little settlement
surrounded by highly developed farms.
In the last few years the progress
and development of the town and
community has been more rapid until
now the town is considered to be large
enough to need bank. The ma
jority of the residents of the vicinity
are Spanish. speaking people of the old
school, polished, courteous, energetic
and prosperous. Some of the wealth.

GETS MONEY FROM RUBBISH
Invention Of EneIishman Has Proved
Its Practical Value in Num-
Der of Towns.

One of the most remarkable ma
chimes in the world has just been in
vented by an Englishman, w. P. Hoyle.
1t converts dust into cash-or, more
correctly speaking, it extracts what is
worth saving from rubbish and pre-
Iares it for redistribution. Cinders
are washed, dust is converted into fer
tiliZer, tins are cleaned, and paper
and rags are sorted. Another bit Of
machinery used in this wonderful ''re-
fuse recovery plant" deals with clink-
ers, turning them into nodded con-
crete blocks for building. 1t has been
proved that every hundred tons Of
waste produce $i60, and since a town
of $4,000 inhabitants discards about
one hundred tons of rubbish daily one
can easily work out the municipal
revenue that such a plant would pro-
duce. Not few towns in the United
Kingdom have already installed a
Hoyle rubbish converting plant. Aber-
deem in one day collected $1,000 worth
of discarded bottles, a weeks jam-iar
collection in the city of Sheffield real
lied 5000, while Glasgow estimates
that one years conversion of its rub.

"And l hope you will have many
happy New Years, every one of you"
added old Mr.. Giant.
Again every one thanked him.
And for few moments all the Fair

Gnomes and the Bogey family did
nothing else but bow to each other
and say Happy New Year every
one; compliments of the season." and

II asked you to come to my New

a few moments, 'as have the famous
story-telers here for the afternoon
"The famous story-tellers?" every
one asked. "Who are they?"
I'm just moment you will see," Mr.
Giant answered, with a SMILE "Come,

seat for everyone. And the Fairy
Queen has helped me with the seats"
"Story-tellers, special seats and the

eh?' And everyone chuckled with glee
and smiled as they looked forward to
very nice afternoon
They had all come to old Mr.. Giants
cave and had been standing outside of
the cave wishing each other their New
Year wishes.
"All come in,' old Mr.. Giant said
Everyone went into the cave.
"All, pray, take your places. You will
see your names on the backs of the
seats. Master Chilly was good enough
to paint them for me-" old Mr.. Giant
grinned.
All about the cave were seats made
of ice and hard snow. And over each
seat was written in great and -four
ishing hand the name of the guest who
was to sit there. Yes, certainly, Mas
ter Chilly had painted the names very
beautifully with his snow paint brush
snd his ice paint brush, blowing on
them with his cool breath to make the
shading just right
And l told yOu," said old Mr.. Giant,
as the guests were about to take their
places, that the Fairy Queen had
helped me. You were going to have
rather cold chairs, you thought!
But the Fairy Queen brought her
magic wand along just after the seats
had all been made and waved it over
them. saying:
" BE warm. be warm for Mr.. Giants
party,
And do not chill any guest.
Remember they are hale and hearty,
And wish not to freeze when they take
rest
Everyone laughed at this and turned
to the Fairy Queen.

Queens magic wand is the only thing
which could keep chairs of ice and
snow from feeling that way. But, Mr..
Giant, we want to know about our next
treat! We were to hear the famous,
wonderful, fine story-tellers."
AT once, at once" said Old Mr..
Giant, and from a little distance off in
the cave they heard low singing and
talking, and then louder and louder Il
came.

spinning yarns or telling good stories
and having fine old talks you will
know that in the background the Yarn
Spinning Fairies, or the Six Story
Tellers are helping them"
And all through the afternoon, as
they spun in turn, the stories became
more wonderful and beautiful all the
time, and as they spun them they said
them aloud. Sometimes they turned
out little songs and jingles, but mostly
just stories, stories of great people and
little people, of princes AID 2rincesses
and of ordinary folks, and everyone
