Wouldn't This Jar You?

Isn't it strange to expect large
amount of free advertising space
in a newspaper, and then when one
has a little job that there is some
pay in, to hunt around to see if
he can get the work done ten or
fifteen cents cheaperp One appar-
emily forgets about the amount Of
free space given, and that it
amounts to many more times the
difference in the price of the "bid."
This reminds US slightly of the
person who has all his purchases
made at home charged to his ao-
count, and then when he has any
cash to spend, goes to Denver to
buy his goods. "Taint" fair.

What About Your
High School Annual?

Have you purchased your high
school annual? If not, you should
make an effort to get one. No
family should be without "The
Echo," which is the only annual
ever gotten out by the local school
The book gets many mpli-
ments from out of town visitors,
and it is said to be equal to col
lege annual. 1t is selling at So, a
very small amount, considering it
includes the grades and the names
of all graduates of the Idaho
Springs high school. Some are
buying more than one and sending
to friends.
They may be secured at the
Siftings- News Office or from any OF
the seniors. If you are interested
in the school of your town and
want to boost for it, buy an annual.
You will not regret it.

INDIANS ADVANCE.

One by one the tribes of Indians in
the United States. some of which, by
the way, centuries ago, had league
of nations in part of North America,
have been broken up, until but com
paratively few remain. The inroads
Of the white races have been mainly
the cause of these divisions. Now the
red men of the Fort Belknap reserva-
ton in Montana have themselves sent
delegation to Washington to urge
congress to pass bill distributing the
lands Of the reservation among the
individual Indians, with a certain por-
ton thrown open to general settle
ment, and some sections reserved for
state school purposes, says Christian
Science Monitor. Thus the end of
separate political organization is has
tened among the peoples. who occu-
pied the lands Of America before the
white man came. The United States
today contains about 100000 Indians,
and the facr that of those only 11OO0
continue to live In tepees, tents, and
such nomadic habitations, affords
striking evidence of the redmans ad-
vance.

Why Discuss Business

attend band concert 60 because
they are anxious to hear the music,
and to them it is extremely annoy
ing to be near someone who does
not care for music and persists in
talking loudly about his mine or
other business.
This is especially true when
vocal music is being rendered, as
absolute quiet is necessary to get
the best results. 1t is not only
annoying to those areund, but it is
absolutely rude to make unneces-
sary noise when music is being
sung or played.

Swimming Pool Had

have Jacques Machol, who has
charge of the Natatorium, go with
them. In order that he might
get off, they got up petition and
presented it in fun to Manager Ray
Thompson, who of course gave his
consent, but forgot to mention the
fact to Jacques. So when the
crowd went by for Jacques, the
said young man refused to go be-
cause he had rot been officially
notified by Mr.. Thompson that it
would be all right with him. Feel

have young man SO faithful to

Jack H0ban Has New
Experience in Camp

While spending the month in
training at Fort Logan, Jack Ho-
ban had quite an interesting expe-
risnce, the experience resulting in
his having to go over the camping
ground and pick up all the ciga-
rette stubs. Why?
Well, it was all because Jack
had fight. His mother had sent
him some money to go to some
affair, and somebody had stolen it.
Jack had the boy spotted and
demanded his money. Not getting
it, he biffed him ''few," and
altho he didn't get his money, he
got lot of satisfaction-and the
pleasure (?) of picking up the
cigarette stubs off the ground,
We predict that Jack will have
had plenty during the month of
August, and that he will be glad to
ges DacK to.oio Idaho Springs.
