Mining Mention From
GEORGETOWN District

Claude McFadden, manager of
the St. Charles mine on Douglas
mountain, is very much elated
over development in the property.
There is more than foot of sill
ver-lead ore opened in the upper
drift, worth from $40 to $50 per
ton, and there is 500 feet Of virgin
ground above him, steady pro-
ductlon for many months may be
confidently expected.
1t is reported on reliable au-
thority that G. L. Cole and j. II.
Robson have sold the Pelican
Dives and Seven Thirty group of
mines on Brown mountain. The
consideration is not given, but it
is said to be greatly in excess of
their option. This is the 6rst big
mining deal to be consummated in
upper Clear Greek for some time,
but judging from rumors, others
may be expected soon.

Fred Sherr Still
Likes Colorado Best

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Sherr, who
went to Ohio to spend "about a
month" but who found the wea-
ther SO bad there that it is taking
them more than four mouths to
"get all around to see the folks,'
are now expecting to start for
home pretty soon.
Mr.. Sherr writes in part as fol-
lows:
"We are now out in the country
and have been for the last ten
days. We can constantly hear the
"chuck- chuck. chuck" of the gas
pumps in the oil fields. was
standing up on hill here one day
and counted the derricks of 107
oil wells. Some of them are
pumped every day. Everywhere
that there is oil on the farms the
farmers have all the gas they want
for heating, cooking and lighting
free. But then I can't say that l
like it as very often some leak
occurs in the pipes during the
night and whole families never
wake up in the morning. Of
course there are no ashes to carry
out nor coal to carry in, but never
theless I will prefer coal.
ave have been enjoying some
very beautiful sleet for the past
FIVE weeks. 1t was so bad that the
farmers had to carry water to their
stock. Nearly every time l at
tempted to go any place, / rather
suddenly came in contact with old
Mother Earth all in heap.
I'm the 118 days we have been
in Ohio, I doubt very much if the
sun has shone more than Is days.
We will never again take a trip
back here in the winter time. Ii
the weather had been better we
would have been around to see
our many relatives and friends and
would now be enroute to the land
of perpetual sunshine"

Local Team Wins|D Debate
with Denv'r High School

Resolved: That there should be
compulsory military training for
all male citizens at some time be-
tween the ages of Is aud % in-
elusive.
This was the subject of a very
interesting debate at the Elks'
Club Thursday evening between
East Denver High school and
Idaho Springs High school. The
local team took the affirmative
side and the Denver team the
negative.
Those representing Idaho
Springs were Gertrude McColl,
Melvin White and Gordon Walter
and they were well prepared and
did splendidly. They were coached
by Prof. g. W. Hoy. The judges,
who awarded the decision to Idaho
Springs, were Mrs. W. Fl. Staver

One OF the most pleasant fea-
lures of the contest was the way in
which the Denver team accepted
their defeat. 1t was a real lesson

Dance Postponed

The old-time miners dance,
which was scheduled for Saturday,
February IA, has been postponed
to Saturday night, April 10. The
postponement was thought best
on account of the prevalence of
sickness and as precaution
against its possible spread.
It is planned to make this dance

plenty of time to get ready and

Fred Harvey Sought

Local Home Service representa-
tives of the Red Cross are endea-
voring to locate Fred Harvey, an
ex-service man, formerly of Water
bury. Conn.,, who, according to
the best information obtainable,
may be in this part of the state.
The Red Cross is conducting a
search in response to the appeal
of broken. hearted mother and
sister of the youth.
Young Harvey enlisted in Au-
gust, 1917, at Deming, N. M.
He saw service in the Argonne,
where he was gassed, from the
effects of which he has not yet
fully recovered.
Harvey is % His mother and
sister reside at l84 North Main
street, Waterbury, Conn.
There was Fred Harvey here
some time ago-a young man OF
about the same age but probably
not the one now wanted. Our
Fred Harvey was we'll stocked with
gall and ideas of his own regarding
high finance. He was barber
and came here with young wife
from Canon City. He was later
found to be bigamist with a wife
and children in Missouri. He was
forger and was taken from here
to Greeley and convicted of pass
ing forged checks on a Greeley
bank to make payment on land be
was buying without money. His
wife number two was finally con-
vinced that she had been duped
and was sent home.
After serving term in the pen
Harvey returned to Idaho Springs
with another wife and while he
hardly had money enough to make
the first payment on a Missouri
merschaum pipe, purchased a
barber shop, bought furniture,
went to housekeeping, purchased
piano and talked much about the
large number Of Liberty bonds he
owned and which were locked up
in a safety deposit box at Craig,
Colo, where he said he owned a
barber shop, pool room and soft
drink parlor. When he was
crowded for a payment on the
barber shop here he and his wife
left ostensibly for Craig, but
really for parts unknown. State
ments of account accumulated at
the local postofice and were event
ually marked return to writer.

Many Girls Protected
By the Salvation Army

Sixty thousand girls take the
downward path in the United
States each year according to sta
tistics received yesterday by Lieu
tenant Colonel John w. Cousins,
commander of the Inter-mountain
province of the Salvation Army.
The statistics were prepared by
the office of Commander Eva
Booth of the Salvation Army.
"This means that five thousand
fall each month";, Lieutenant Colo
mel Cousins declared yesterday.
Following out the rate shows
that twelve hundred fall each week,
one hundred sixty-6ve each day,
seven every hour-one in every
eight minutes"
This condition is being met by
the Salvation Army in the west
with a chain of maternity hospi-
tails and rescue homes. The key
note stressed in each home is
Christian faith. The girls are
cared for when in trouble and
thousands are restored to useful
lives each year.
1t is the policy of the Salvation
Army to persuade the mother to
keep her child. Marriages be-
tween mothers and fathers of
illegitimate children are often
effected.
In the twelve western homes of
the Salvation Army last year
nearly one thousand girls were
cared for. Six-hundred.ninety-
seven children passed out of the
hospitals With their mothers

before it was time for him to take
his seat in the Senate. Benjamin
Harrison was Senator from lndi-
ana from 1881 to 1887, and was

Senator Miles Poindexter of
Washington, and Senator Howard

vet" answered Uncle Ted, and |
won't decide which one will be my
choice until | find out what each
Of them wants done in regard to
public questions. What
I am trying to teach you is that a
man who has had experience in
the Legislative bodies of our Gov
ernment is better able to run this
country than a man who has not
had that experience. He knows
what it means to help make the
laws, and for that reason he can
how the men feel who
do that. He knows the ms and
outs of the running of the govern
ment and is better able to obtain
what the people Of the country
need. SO lis for these reasons
that I hope our next President
will come from among the men OF
legislative experience and / hope
that he will be the kind of man |
have tried to tell you we need"

Many Names Suggested
for the New Hat Shop

A considerable interest was
shown in the response to Mrs.
Ingels' advertisement of last week.
asking for suggestions as to a
name for her new store. The nice
letters which accompanied some
of the names indicated that the
participants in the contest entered
it appreciating the new store, as
well as to possibly win the hat Of
cred rs prize.
Some of the names were very
acceptable if Mrs. Ingels were sure
that the store would always be a
hat store only. Among these one
of the cleverest "Ye Hat Shoppe",
with illustrations as to its possi-
bilities for advertising, was sent by
Mrs. Fl. T. Giller, Mrs. Spessard
sent in "The Smart Hat Shop
and ''The Headgear Shop" "The
Bon Ton Hat Shop" came from
Mrs. W. T. Chappell. "Milady's
New Chapeau Shop was sent by
Mrs. Katherine Neeper.
The name chosen. ''The Fashion
Shop" was one of the several
submitted by Mrs. Charles Wood
ward. Her other names we're ala
Perfection, and 1.-The Elite.
Mr.. Woodward suggested La
Paloma", meaning The Plume.
The selection of the name which
will grace the door of her shop
was a hard task for Mrs. Ingels,
and it was just shade of meaning
in the one selected that prompted
its being chosen.
"Please- You Shop, by Mrs. Q.
L. Jaynes; "Milady's Shop, by
Mrs. Spessard; and "The Blue
bird, by Dorothy King. were all
tempting names.
1.-The IngeIish", sent in by Jac
ques Machol; The Ethyl, by Mrs.
Reynolds, and "The Beverly" by
w. E. Pasmore we're good names,
If one could be very sure in this
world of change that the store
would never have new owner.
Other interesting suggestions
were .'The Shop Elite, by Vern

Harvey Dougherty; bon Ton" or

the "Gaiety Parlor'', by Mrs.
Frank White.
And so they came in. long
list of them, and Mrs. Ingels ap-
preciates the kindly thought and
interest shown.
Many other names were offered.
The request for names was made
only thru the Siftings and the
wide attention given the request

UNCLE TED'S BEDTIME
STORIES
Our Next President

Now Riddles, said Uncle led
as Jack and Ruth cuddled close
to their Uncle in the back seat of
Daddy's automobile which was
spinning along at merry clip,
Il told you last week about a
funny dinner party given by the
Democrats in Washington not long
ago at which many of the men
spoke who want to run for presi-
dent oh the Democratic ticket
next November. I won't have
time to tell you your story to
night 50 I am going to tell you
now about the kind of man l
think ought to be our next presi-
dent"
"Who is hep asked Jack.
mo, Jack, I didn't say I would
tell you who I think should be our
next president but the kindof man
he must be. So listen closely.
In the first place, for the past
seven years, our country has been
run by bunch OF men who had
at their head man who never had
served either in the House of Re-
representatives. at Washington or
the Senate. I mean. of course
Woodrow Wilson. Not having
served in either of those import
ant bodies Of our government he
was less able to understand how
the men who are in them feel and
how he should deal with them.
lt3at.a. u %svc- sst -, :;the-
the House or the Senate he could
not know as mpch about our gov
eminent as be should. I do not
mean that we cannot have good
Presidents unless they have been
Representatives or Senators but
I want to make you understand
that when President has had
that experience he is better able
to run the government. He knows
more about it and can deal with
Congress in much better way"
"Have we ever had President
who had been Senator or Repre-
sentative?" asked Jack.
"Yes, Jack, many of them. As
you know, the Senate and the
House are known as our legisla-
tive bodies. Before and during
the Revolution in 1776 when our
country was freed from Great
Britain and for while afterward
there was one legislative body and
it was called the Continental Con.
gress. Our first three Presidents,
George Washington, John Adams
and Thomas jefferson were mem-
bers OF that body before being
elected President. The fourth
President. James Madison, was a
OF the House of Rep
resentatves before being elected.
"James Monroe was Senator
from Virginia from 1870 to 1894.
He was first elected President in
1877 John Quincy Adams also
served in the Senate from Massa-
chusetts from 1902 to 1909. He
also served in the House and was
elected President in 1925. An
drew Jackson served one year
in the Senate from 1897 to l79S,
again from 1928 to 1925. He was
first elected president in 1928.
He, too, served in the House.
Martin Van Buren, was Senator
from New York from 1922 to 1928.
He was elected Vice President in
1882 and President in 1886. Will
liam Henry Harrison served in
the Senate from Ohio from 1925
to 1929 and was elected President
in 1910. He served in the House.
