BARGAIN DAY IN.
UlEBURC IS
big SUCCESS

Bargain Day in Julesburg last Sat-
urday, October 9th, proved 10 be 0.
very successful event from many
points of view. There was large

hcing several from quite a distance.
The merchants in general report ..
big days business as the result OF

LONG LIST OF
STATES in FA-
VOR OF HARDING

One of the most interesting and sig
nificant developments of this political
campaign is the extreme conservatism
of the Republican claims in contrast
with the freedom and candor of Dem
ocrats of common sense who concede
pretty nearly everything to Harding
and Coolidge.
The truth is that the Republican
slide is SO broad and SO terrific and
the roll of Harding States SO long that
Republican managers and other ex-
perts hesitate to express their full
opinions and estimates lest they might
seem to be indulging in wild dreams.
So many states, moreover, are regard
ed as absolutely sure for the Republi-
cans this year as against ordinary
years, when many of them always are
classed as doubtful until near the end
of the campaign, that the Republicans
see no need of strenuously claiming
those that are merely reasonably sure.
A table, for example, compiled by
an expert Of national reputation, in
grouping voting territory as Harding
States, ae Cox States and as doubtful
States puts in the Democratic column,
for the moment, Montana with three
electoral votes, Utah with four, Ari-
zona with three, New Mexico with
three, Oklahoma with ten; and doubt
full, Missouri with eighteen, Colorado
with six and Nevada with three.
But at the very same time great
Democratic newspaper, q leading Will
son organ and an ardent League cham
pion. is printing the results Of ma
tionwide canvass of voters in all the
shops Of the United Drug Company.
And this canvass, to which such pub
licity is given by that Democratic pa
per, shows that thus far in Montana
twice as many men canvassed have de-
clared themselves for Harding as for
Cox and two and half times as many
women have declared themselves for
Harding as for Cox. In Utah thus
far the men declaring themselves for
Harding out-number the men declar-
ing themselves for Cox by about ten
to seven and the women by more than
two to one.
In Arizona, hitherto regarded as a
Democratic state, the Harding men vo-
ters canvassed outnumber the Cox vo-
ters canvassed by four to three, while
the women are about even. In Mis-
souri, the canvass shows a neck and
neck race among the men voters as be-
tween Harding and Cox and only a
slight lead for Cox over Harding
among the women canvassed. In Colo
RADIO the canvass shows one and three
quarters men for Harding to every one
man for Cox and nearly two women
for Harding to every one for Cox. In
Nevada the men so far have declared
themselves for Harding in the proper
ton OF two to one and the women in
the PROPORTION of more than two to

Explaining the "Ring Finger"

OF all the men, both young and old,
who place engagement rings on the
fingers Of their brides-to-be, 1t is al
most an absolute certainty that not
One-tenth Of them knows why he places
the ring on the ring finger Of, the left
hand. OF course. the answer could
be: "Everybody's dOin' it," The Gus
tom Of placing the ring upon the fourth
finger seems undoubtedly to owe Its
origin to the fancy that special
nerve, or vein, ran directly from this
finger to the heart. Macrobius, i'm his
Saturnalia, alludes to the belief in the
following words: Because of this
nerve, the newly betrOthed places the
ring on this finger Of his spouse, as
though It were representation of the
heart" This information, he asserts,
was derived from an Egyptian priest.

CORSET FIRST WORN BY MEN
Garment Now Almost Exclusively
Feminine Shown to Have Been '
Made for Norman King.

The corset as such has not always
gone by that name. First mention or
the word is found In the household
register of Eleanor, countess of Leices-
ter, May "a, 1865, and the person for
whom the garment was made was
Richard, king of the Normans. An
other pair is mentioned at the same
Zine as intended for Richards son.
Edward. Which would seem to prove
that corsets were originally used for
men as well as for women.
Some authorities claim that the
word corset is from the French word
corps, the body and serrer Ito tighten,
inclose or incase). This may have
been corruption or diminutive form
of the single word "corps," which was
formerly written "cOrs," or the name
may have been taken from rich ma
terial known as corse, which was at
one time extensively used for its max
ing. About the year 1000 the corset
is referred to as 'stays" in England.
The word bodice was not infrequently
spelled bodies by old authors and was
used to designate the garment now
known as the corset.

the center Of the dam, 1G feet high
and 40 feet broad at the base, the
sleeping apartment inside the house,
was exceptionally spacious for a

The floor was found to be covered with
a dry substance and was as clean as

were found stored for cold weather

their children, were found living COM

onion SMUT CAN
Be CONTROLLED
After Experiments Solution of
FomaIdehyde Is Recon-
mended by Specialists.
YOUNG SEEDLINGS ATTACKED
After Plants Are About Three Inches
High They Become Immune to In
fection-Care Necessary In
Applying Treatment

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The spread of onion smut into the
large northern onion sections and its
increasing prevalence each year have
emphasized the importance of a prac-
teal means of control for this disease.
After careful experimentation, special
lists Of the United States department
OF agriculture recommend a solution of
formaldehyde in the furrow with the
seed.
Onion smut is caused by fungous
parasite which lives in the soil and,
when once introduced, spreads slowly
to adjoining areas. In the spring, at
the time when the onion seeds are
terminating, the smut spores, or seed
bodies, also terminate and infect the
young seedlings, causing brown TO
black elongated blisters within the
scales or leaves, which often split
open, exposing the powdery black
masses of spores. Affected leaves
usually are slightly thickened and
often curve downward. Many of the
young seedlings are so heavily at
tackled that they die within three to
five weeks after termination. Others
may survive until harvest time and
reach the warehouse or market.
Controlled by Formaldehyde.
A peculiar and important fact about
onion smut is that the onion plant can
be attacked by fungus only while in
the young seeding stage. After the
plants are about three inches high
they become immune to infection by
the smut fungus and onion sets or
seedlings three to four inches high
