This is only one of the many hu-

the advertising which is now strug-
Cling TO reconstruct the Pueblo stores.
II takes a great deal OF nerve to
build business out of a flood, but
Pueblo is doing II and the advertis-
ing shows that the merchants are Civ
ing careful thought to the merchan-
dising of their stocks and are making
a valiant effort to turn defeat into
victory

more impressive than A study Of ad-
vertising, because in reconstruction

merchant may possess in common with

advertisement Of Hermans she snys:
In an advertising of Herman's the
reference to the flood links the sale
of summer coats to the recent disaster
and yet avoids any pessimistic tone.
Note the boxed heading. The Spirit
Of France Is the Spirit Of Pueblo"
Here the store appeals to the citizens
in an indirect and vet effective man
ner. The rest OF the advertisement is
keyed in festive tone. and as YOU will
note makes no reference whatever to
the necessity for sale or to the other
aspects of the flood.

precaution which this advertisement

GEM HAS PLACE IN HISTORY
Why Great Ruby Has Been GIven
Position Of Honor In British
Monarch's state Crown.

The history of England might be
written round the gems that adorn the
royal emblems. Place of honor in the
front Of the kings state crown Is given
to the great ruby, which is as large
as small hens egg, and is the cele-
brated and historic Jewel which first in
its English history belonged to the
Black Prince, the eldest son of Edward
III. The ruby came to him in knightly
fashion on the field of battle, being
given to the Black Prince by Don Pc
dro. king Of Castillo, for skill shown
in short campaign in Spain. The
ruby does not appear in history until
1t took part in the battle of Agincourt.
when Henry v went at the head Of his
troops with the ruby glittering on the
front of his coroneted helmet. More
than a century later, when Charles
was beheaded, 1t was ordered by par
lament that all the insignia of royalty
should be destroyed, and the gems set
therein sold to the best advantage. In
the list appears the statement that the
great ruby was sold for "a and passed
to some unknown purchaser. "He may
have been royalist In disguise or he
may have been dealer in stones, or
this may have been spurious deal to
favor parliamentarian but
whatever Its adventures during the
commonwealth era, we find the ruby
safe and sound back in the state crown
of Charles IL"

How to Make Shoe Comfortable,

There is lot to do when you have
an uncomfortable shoe besides COM
plain. One thing, Of course, is to
exchange it, but suppose the shoe is
really a good fit, really large enough,
or suppose you have worn 1t so that
1t cannot be exchanged.
This is what woman shoe seller
said recently; Just rub the handle Of
a button hook over the spot in the
lining of the shoe that seems to pull
or hurt. This gentle rubbing lOosens
the lining and nine times out of ten
that is all that makes the shoe hurt.
The lining is pulled little tight in
one spot or other, and needs loosen
ing. and the shoe-buttoner handle does
the work.

NO LONGER
ADVERTISE A SALE

rhe following from the pen of Jeyeil
Mayes, secretary of the Missouri State
Board CT Agriculture, appeared recent
ly in several newspapers Of the state:
Thes farmer who ia going to hold
general sale or a public auction of
purebred livestock needs to spend more
for advertising than does the merchant
for the same total amount of sales.
There are two good reasons why.
The first "why' is that the farmer
must sell his offerings all in one day,
while the merchant has many days in
which to find a buyer.
The second reason "why" is that
the farmer must bring people to his
farm who are not in the habit of com
ing there, while the merchants Gus
TONERS are mainly those who already
come to his store more or less regular
ly.
The farmer who tries to hold gen
eral sale OF a purebred livestock auc-
tion without having conducted sys-
tematic advertising campaign in pro-
portion to the total value Of his offer
ings is recklessly inviting needless
losses.
! The "pulling' value of newspaper
advertising is SO well recognized that
it is absolutely needless to argue in its
behalf. In relation to farm sales it is
signally valuable in bringing in new
bidders who come from beyond the
neighborhood after the "stuff' that
they have read of being for sale at the
stated place and day.
The "dodger'' or handbin formerly
was of important service, yet too local
in circulation, since this sort Of pub
Lefty was too generally read by those
who already knew of the sale and its
offerings. The handbill or poster was
readily readable on tree or crossroads
post in the good old days of horseback
and wagon, but the tin lizzie whizzes
by now without permitting you to see
anything more than white streak. The
"dodger' today is a "dead one,
when compared to the newspaper cad
read by hundreds of thousands.
A page or quarter-page advertise
ment is always a bidder bringer and a
price booster, and if it is an important
farm or stock sale of considerable total
the advertising should run through a
larger number of issues than has been
the common practice in the past.
Starting your advertising a little
sooner tends to hold other sales off
your dating, as well as developing your
scope of and interest and numbers of
bidders.
Advertising rightly planned is not an
'expense 1T is an Investment
that doubles itself many times over
on the sale day.-Publishers Review.

Why Nature Makes So Many Drones.

Why Nature Makes So Many Drones.
Every beehive has hundreds of
drones, lazy fellows who stay at home
when the weather is chill or wet, eat
the food their toilng sisters bring in,
and lead life of ease and luxury.
The time comes, however, when the
queen bee is born, and goes about her
wicked work of stinging to death all
her sister queens before they can
emerge from their cells. She, takes
short flights thereafter for several
days. and at the end of week is
ready for her bridal trip. She dashes
out in overwhelming spirals, and after
her rush the suitors, 90 so, perhaps
1000. AS she is the strongest and
swiftest of all, 1t is but following un-
til she, weary Of her trip or ready for
the climax of her existence, turns and
greets the first of the drones to reach
her side. He dies in her very embrace.
and she wings back to the hive where
she lays upward Of half million eggs.

MANY CASES IN
DISTRICT COURT

treatment. Judge Shumate expressed
regret that he had not heard Of Mr..
McLealn's illness earlier, and he then
declared the case a mistrial.
In the cases of the People vs.. ]. NJ.
Silver and DIR. W. T. Oberto, charged
with having violated the liquor laws
while serving as aldermen of the city
of Glenwood Springs, upon permission
of the district attorney each withdrew
his plea of not guilty and entered a
plea of "non contendere' and paid the
costs in his case thus far accrued.
In the case Of Jack Lucca, who was
arrested in Leadville on advice Of Shef
i'll Jessup for issuing a forged check
on E. R. Gordon of the canon road
camp, and passing the same on Mix
Bosco Of this city, Sheriff Jessup re-
turned from Leadville with the prison
er just before noon Thursday, and two
hours afterward the prisoner appeared
before Judge Shumate, entered a plea
of guilty and asked for sentence.
Lucca is a young Italian % years of
age, he told the court, and served in
Uncle Sans army in the world war.
He said he did not write and sign the
check, but that another workman did
this, but he admitted that she passed
the spurious paper on Mr.. Bosco and
benefited by the transaction. In view
Of the youth of the prisoner, and the
apparent fact that he is not hardened
in crime and has plenty Of opportunity
to yet become a good citizen, Judge
Shumate, after giving the man a sound
lecture, and some wholesome advice,
gave him an indeterminate sentence in
the state reformatory in Buena Vista.
Lou Flaherty and Gum Buckingham
answered to charge of bootlegging,
and each pleaded guilty and each SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $1OO and costs
of suit, which each paid.
In the case of Josef Bershenyi,
charged with the murder of Walter
Page, it is a singular coincidence that
at the very moment when funeral serv-
ices were being held over all that was
mortal of Walter Page, the man respon-
sible for his death appeared in the dis
trict court to make appeal through his
attorneys, Noonan & Noonan, and c.
w. Darrow, for bail and to arrange for
the date of his trial.
This was set down for hearing, ten
tatively, on Monday, April 4. The mat
ter of bail for the accused was denied
by the district attorney.
Notwithstanding a story published
in another paper, the criminal prosecu
tion will have no bearing or effect upon
civil case for damages filed against
Bershenyi by Page about week prior
to the latter's death.
All jurors were excused, subject to
call.

morning, February "a, with Baltimore,
Maryland, as my objective point. There
were not many people travelling; but
on the train were two middle-aged cou-
pies, evidently rich farmers from the
middle west, who had been out to Cal
ifornia for the winter. I was much
amused and delighted at some of their
remarks about "beautiful Colorado. -
:" Just to Think they said, "we have
spent the time on the coast to see the
scenery, and here it is right here, a
thousand miles nearer our home.o All
day long they were just fairly devour
ing the dictionary finding adjectives
to express the beauty of the things On
which their eyes feasted.
Denver the Beautiful was reached on
schedule time that evening. l gazed
on the great white way' for short
time, had good nights rest, transact
ed little business Friday morning,
and by nine O'Clock L had again re-
sumed my journey to Baltimore by way
Of Chicago and Cleveland. Reached
Buffalo, N. Y, Sunday morning, and
finding that 1 had twelve hours margin
on my ticket, decided to see the ia
nous Niagara Falls. One hours ride
by trolley brought ME to the wonder
full spot. 1 have watched storm on
the ocean while the forked lightning
played about me; 1 have beheld the
stalactites and stalagmites in Nam
mouth Cave of Kentucky; l have feast
ed my eyes on the different peaks of
the Rockies at all seasons of the year,
but the roaring ,dashing, splashing and
foaming waters of the mighty Niagara,
intensely beautiful in the rays of the
rising sun, is the climax OF all natural
grandeur and beauty. The artist with
his brush, the writer with his pen, and
the orator with his silvery tongue, all
have tried to tell of Niagara and all
have failed. One might write and de
scribe until he had bankrupted the
English language, and another would
come and say, "The half has not been
told'' l viewed the falls from both
the American and Canadian sides.
Baltimore was reached Monday night
and l had the pleasure of meeting
friends whom l had not seen for thirty
years. If you think things are high
in Glenwood, come to Baltimore and
try to rent a room, buy clothes, or go
to hotel or a restaurant for a meal.
March 4th found me in Washington,
at the Inauguration of Mr.. Harding.
A great throng was present to welcome
the new administrator, but due to the
unreasonable railroad fare, the crowd
was not as large US usual. l stood on

and watched the famous ride of the
outgoing and incoming presidents from
