In almost every home there are articles that must be dyed. Buy the dye for silk. cotton and woolen fabrics. Success is nearly assured if directions are fol- lowed. But one not used to it is apt to make mistakes. All garment should first be cleaned with a warm solution of ammonia and water, letting soak one-half hour to remove grease and dust. Rinse in hot water before dyeing. Cottons should be washed in hot soapsuds, rinse thoroughly.
 To leave soap in interferes with the dye. Cottons and mied goods should cool in dye, as longer time is required -c set dye. Woolens dye quickly, so rinse v7aile hot.

Importance TO the 1921 fair was tran
sacted.
Senator Tobin came down from the
state capital and Judge Boger from
his home at Burlington, and President
Nuckolls whose home is here in Pu-
eblo. these three and Manager Bea-
man, went into a number of matters
that were requiring early attention.
\ letter from Professor Alvin kezer,
chief sEronomist OF the state agricul-
tural college. in which the writer made
some important suggestions, was read
to the board Professor kezor's suG-
gestion in chief was relative to a
change i'm the premium list offerings
in agriculture, he pointed out that
general county exhibits are more at
tractive than individual exhibits and

suggested that there be seven, instead
of three, county exhibit prizes, and
that the amount offered should aggre-
gate at least siloo. OF course this is
not a suggestion to exclude individual
exhibits. but rather TO intensity the
interest in county collections; the
board thought favorably of the sug-
sestion.
The matter OF a petition being cir
culated for the opening of Summit
street thru to the fair grounds en-
trance. was discussed, with the result
that the board instructed the president
to sign the petition for the state fair
commission.
In the matter of amusements for the
1921 fair, the manager. was instructed
to mako arrangements with managing
parties for an Indian camp which will
put on Buck. Squaw, Snake and other
dances. and other attractions.
\ contract was also made with tho
Scarle Duffield Fireworks company of
Chicago tho same company that
played at tho fair in 1919-for their
newest and greatest of all pyrotechnic
displays. ono of the leading features
will be the battle between the Monitor
and the Merrimac of Civil war days.
Also there will be a reproduction of
the great Chicago fire of fifty years
ago, and a spectacular set piece of
pioneer days; these are only brief
mention of several features OF tho
dozens which the company will present.
A contract was also made with ],
Alex Sloan for auto-polo to be played
in front of the grand stand. Mr.. Sloan
is manager of the most noted auto
polo aggregation in the United States.
Among the other attractions ar
ranged for are professional automo-
bile racers. Tho commissioners have
also authorized contract with the
greatest carnival company in the coun-
try, known as the Frisco Exposition
shows. This company carries thirty
railway cars, as against throo cars
used by the carnival company that
was at the fair last fall. The contract
made by Manager Beaman with the
Frisco company provides for double the
amount TO the fair from the company
heretofore received from carnival com
panies for the concession. Various
other amusement features are being
considered by the board.

of an oren letter to the public. was is
sued by Commissioners Tobin and
