Idaho Springs, Sept. ~
Dear Jane:
Did anybody write you abont
our Bible class picnic? We had
such jolly time that you mus
hear about it. 1t was on Tuesday
afternoon.
You remember that level, open.
sunny place up Clear Greek, just
this side Of Barrick's? That is
where we went. There are not SO
very many motorists among our
own members, but Mr.. W. A,
Keelor came to our rescue with
his car and so we transported some
sixty people without difficulty.
We took our own lunches but
the class furnished coffee, cream
and sugar.
Mrs. X. w, Mcbride kept every
body busy playing all sorts OF
games and stunts until supper time.
I wish you could have seen Mrs.
Jud Brown in policemans uniform
with big night stick, doing duty
as traffic cop. Every car that
drove in had to run around in
circles before she had it parked to
her satisfaction. We all sat around
in groups about 6ve.thirty and ate.
1 need only tell you that Mrs. W.
A. Roberts and Mrs. w. B. Kelso
had charge of the coffee for you to
know it was fine and plentiful.
Mr.. Keelor is the man to appeal
to if you want to know who had
the best lunch-he sampled them
all.
After supper we built up camp
FIRE and sang. Grace Curnow and
A n n e t e Nichols distinguished
themselves as cheer-leaders, but
that class can stand some train
ing in yells even yet. If some o
the ladies hadn't needed to return
for club meeting, 1 Think we woult
have stayed till midnight, for GER
tainIy nobody wanted to go home
I am so sorry you weren't there
you missed one hilarious time
Hoping to see you Sunday at ter
a.. m.
Yours for the Bible class,
Elnora

The two animals are firm friends, but
when the squirrel wanted material to

fact, it's real history starts in
1858, when gold was first dis
covered.
Prior to that time there had
been but little settling in this
region. Spanish explorers had
traversed the country in the lat
ter part of the Eighteenth cen
tury, and laid claim to it. AS a
part of the Louisiana Purchase
it came into the possession of
the United States in 1903. Off
GERS of the United States army
were sent ,out to explore this
wilderness among whom were
Lieutenant Pike in 1906, and it
was after him that Pixies Peak
was named. In 1919 Colonel
Long made extensive explora-
tionsr and he was followed in
7 1912 by Fremont, whose actiyi-
ties in the Mexican war brought
him into much prominence. AT
the close of the Mexican war,
Mexico ceded her rights to this
territory to the United States.

was then called the Pixies Peak
country. In 1859 Denver became
a town of one thousand inhabi-
tants, and by the next year had
grown into big city with news
papers, theaters, and a govern
ment mint.
In 1861 the Territory of Col

Colorado was admitted as the
thirty-eighth state of the Union.
Its area is 103,94S square miles
and its population entities the
state to six presidential cleo

The name is taken from the
Colorado river, and is a Spanish
adjective meaning "colored red"
Colorado is often called the
Centennial State, as it was ad-

hundred years after the Declara-

TAXING A VACATION

ESchauge.-
When a woman feels the need of a
day off from her children and house
hold cares, her reason for taking il is
purely psychological. She knows she
can be n better wife and mother for
the change, and that of all the pleas
ures that she may find outside Of tn.
home, the sweetest will be the pure
thrill of returning to her own.
When . man takes u day of, il is
to throw away all conventions, to get
back to freedom, to become his other
self. He may spend his day off in
the country; he may lie in the fields
and find pleasure in buttercups and
daisies, but in whatever he does the
man nature has full sway. His reason
for a day off is primarily to benefit
himself, and indirectly his family and
friends. The reasons are as different
as the methods, but the necessity for
change is the same.

II you are one who loves fried
mush, you no doubt know the difficulty
of slicing it into nice-loolking slices.
If the knife is dipped into hot grease
each time, the mush will not stick in
the least. Another good way is to
prepare the mush in little fiat cakes
while it is warm, then let it stand
till wanted. There will be no muss
in cutting it. A small dish Of any
kind, such as sauce dish, may be
used. Run it through cold water and
fill it with the mush SO as to form a
fiat cake, pressing it down good, then
slip ont onto wet platter and leave
