DOING SHOPPING FOR BABY
Searching for Apparel for tho Wee Tot
Affords Delight and Di-
version.

The fascinating garments and other
personal belongings provided for the
wee baby and the baby of one or two
important years are marvels of elfin
daintiness that lend n peculiar delight
to baby shopping.
Exquisite hnndwork is lavished on
the making and ornamentation Of the
wee baby's wardrobe. Tiny tucks,
hemstitching, feather stitching and
needlework of all kinds with very
little hand embroidery and lace dec
crate the small dresses, but as IL rule
these are very sparingly used, re-
finement Of simplicity being the de-
sirable end to attain.
The very first little frocks are sim
ply gathered into an embroidered and
lace-trimmed neckband, but for later
wear dresses are made with round,
square or scalloped yokes delicately
embroidered and set on the frock with
valenciennes insertion.
While the bottoms of the dresses
are usually hemstitched many are fin
ished with fine tuckS and edged with
valenciemes either set on fiat or edg-
ing tiny ruflle. This rule of re-
straint in trimming is occasionally
broidered christening robe which is
intended to be worn only on that and
other state occasions and then to be
carefully laid aside for sentiments
sake

Reports from all the banks in
the state, compiled by the State
immigration Department, show
that but six of the sixty-onc coun-
ties in the state having banks
within their borders showed de-
creases in their bank deposits
during the year 1919. In the re-
naming counties increases were
shown ranging from a per cent to
105 per cent. The largest percent
ages of increase were shown by
the following counties: Chey-
enne, 1876 per cent; Kit Carson,
rs per cent; BGca, 70 per cent !;
Archuleta, 55 per cent; Logan, 81
per cent, Yuma, So per cent. The
increase in bank deposits for the
state as a whole was in excess of
25 per cent for the year, and about
forty per cent since the beginning
of 1917. Increases were shown in
all the agricultural counties, while
some of the mining counties
showed decreases, the largest be-
ing for Teller county. Most of the
large increases were shown by
farming counties in eastern Colo
RADIO, thru some of the Western
Slope counties showed increases
greater than the average increase
for the state as a whole.

PUSSY WILLOW

Almost before the snow is gone
While yet the clouds are chilly.
Before the crocus blooms again
Or spring awakes the lily;
A gentle herald meets our eyes.
Her barque has crossed the bill
low,
And here, with touch of glad sur
prise,
We hail the pussy willow.
A pleasant ha1 binger of love,
She dares the bandit buster
OF winds that hurry here and there
At March's furious muster.
Full soon We'll hear the bluebird's s
note,
Full soon in sunny weather,
Shall sweet, delicious perfumes
float;
Well all be blithe together.
The pussy willow leads the band,
A merry throng comes after,
With song and wing and dear de-
light,
With childhood's happy laugh
ter,
The earth that late was fast
asleep
Has turned upon her pillow.
The joy of those who sow and reap
Thrills in the pussy willow.

SCHOOL NOTES
(By T. T. and D. W.

Some very thrilling basketball
games were played in the Armory
hall Friday evening last. The G..
C. H. S. boys defeated the Alumni
boys by score of 81 to 10. The
locals put up splendid game, but
were penalized for fouls quite Of
ten and somehow failed to locate
the basket. The G. c.. H. S. girls
team "bottled ups the Grade
school girls by . score of 6 to d.
They too, considering their infer
ior size and experience, played a
splendid game and accepted de-
feat gracefully. The meet was
somewhat of surprise and also
shock to the High school sextet.
The Black Hawk Grade school
boys defeated. the Central Grade
school boys by small margin CD
10 to /. Three cheers for Black
Hawk! The attendance was one
of the largest of any of the games
played here this season and evil
denced that the people of the
county are willing to assist the
schools. We wish to thank you
all for favoring us with your
presence.
The Honorable Secretary of the
Athletic association, Louise Hart
man, reports that a balance of
$1.55 was left after paying up all
debts. This sum was equally div
ided among the teams. At least
we can all say that we have had
the opportunity of cashing a
check all our own.
A few interesting changes have
come to pass during the last week.
The U. S. History class have sub
stituted the subject of Civics for
History. No adverse comments
have yet been heard about the
change, so it must be agreeable to
all victims included.
Mrs. Zumwalt resigned her pos
ition as Art Instructor of the
schools last Friday, for reasons
best known to herself. This break
causes some inconvenience in our
usual routine and we greatly re-
gret having to lose such good
and efficient teacher.
A very popular debate is taking
place among the "Frosh" at pres
ent, on the question (Which is the
more vain, boys or girls?" The
judges are still undecided. If yor

side on this important problem, i
will be greatly appreciated.

Cynical old rakes of nineteen announce
to the world that they are through with
women. Gay young "Heartbreakers"
submit inventories of their personal
charms and cUnquests. And as for the
girls, their hearts are aching. either be-
cause the boys won't make love to them,
or, like Mickey" because they will. The
way the girls and fellows knock each
other nowadays. It IS wonder they as
soc.ate at all But still they do.
Getting back to the subject of
Mickey" I couldn't make out from
her letter at first just what the trouble
was. However, 1t seems that she is
tired of the fellows making love to her,
and her Ideal Is now the hard-working
man with his big, broad ssmile, always
ready to pay her respect and give her
his seat In the car" 1t all sounds easy,
but really I'm afraid II can't be done.
You would soon get tired of him sitting
around. with his big, broad smile and
looking respectful assuming that he pos
sessed the requisite facial ability. Fur
thermore, II must be difficult for hard
working man to wear a broad smile
when giving his seat to lady in the
trolley: especially when the lady may
be getting home from an arduous day
spent at the matinee or in shopping.
However. it's of no use arguing VT

more shy and did not seem TO want to
talk so very much, and / did not mind
until some one jOkingly told me that he
was in love with me. or course, this
made things look different, and began
to notice that had changed toward
him. seemed always to look for him
and felt very happy when he was
around. II our hands met we both
blushed and felt embarrassed. But that
is all the further our friendship went
