THERE WILL BE ~ FULL
COUNTY EXHIBITS At
STATES BIG SHOW

Thirty-odd counties of the state
may have county exhibits at the 1922
State Fair this year.
Heretofore seven has been consid.
cred a good number. EARLY in the
summer twenty-seven counties had
signified their intention OF making
county displays Of all their products,
and a number Of others have come in
since. Most of these counties have
appropriated $500 each for expense
of collecting the products for the dis,
play; some considerably more. Be
side the county displays there will be
individual, corporation and associa.
exhibits from all sections of the state
in endless number.
Visitors coming from everywhere
to see what Colorado produces will
see sights which will cause them to
sing the Centennial states praises
ever afterward.

MY Dear Folks: Departed from

three days in Japan and am now well
out in the Pacific on may way to San

present rate of travel which is about
300 miles each day.

presents when l arrive in California ::
some hats for mother and sister

wear them. but will enjoy them when
she grows up.
Il expect to be in the hospital for

COLORADO WINS IMPORTANT
DECISION CONFIRMING
TITLE TO COAL DEPOSITS

By decision of the u S. Land OF
fee at Durango under date of July
31st, 1922, the States title to Section
16, Township S5 North, Range 10
West, is confirmed, which includes
any and all the coal deposits which
may be in this section of state school
land, and is one of the most impor-
tant decisions rendered in recent
years as affecting the title to our
school sections.
This case has been in controversy
for the past two years. A decision
was rendered in favor of the State
two years ago by the officials of the
Land Office at Durango, and confirm
ed by the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office at Washington.
Later, on appeal, the decision of the
local Land Office at Durango and the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office was reserved by the Secretary
of the Interior. A protest was filed
by the State Board of Land Commits
sioners with the Interior Department,
asking that the case be reTandcd
back to the Land Office at Durango
for further hearing, which request
was granted, and during the week of
October 18th, 1921, the case was tried
again at Durango Evidence of an
overwhelming nature was presented
by the State Board of Land Com
missioners at that time, resulting in
a decision in favor of the state under
date of July 31st.
This decision will undoubtedly be
appealed to the Secretary of the In
terror. but the facts in the case are
so favorable to the contention of the
State as to its ownership of this sec
ton that there seems to be but lit
tie question that the Secretary of the
Interior will confirm the decision of
the local Land Office.
This decision is very far reaching,
from the fact that it will create a
precedent that will tend to clear up
the title to the coal underneath many
school sections in the state, and fin
ally will result in an extensive reve-
nue. to the state school fund.

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT
AFFORDS INDEX TO RETURN
OF BETTER BUSINESS

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE com.
pensation of postmasters and the
classification of postoffices is deter
mined by the amount of business
done. During the hard times which
began in the last year of Wilson's
administration the depression in bust
ness throughout the country resulted
in general reduction of postmas,
ters' salaries and a demotion of hun
dreds of postoffices to a lower class.
The best evidence that prosperity is
returning is the increase in the pos
tai business with the corresponding
promotion of postoffices to the next
higher rank and increase in postmas-
ters salaries. 1t has just been an
nounced by the Postoffice Depart
ment that owing to the increase in
postal business in the last year, 40
postoffices have been promoted from
second class to first class. n post
masters of the second class Offices
will receive increase in salaries bas
ed upon their increased postal re-
ceipts and 145 third class Offices
have been advanced to second class.
1t is not yet determined how many
fourth class offices will advance to
third class, but it is estimated that
there will be more than the other
two combined.

TRAINING CHILDREN IN
LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
BY Martha Gallaudet Warinp

The three most wonderful things
in nature have always been to me.
the unfolding OF a flower the dawn
OF new day, and the way in which
child learns the use Of language.
There are never two OF these exact
ly alike; they are always happening
and always different
have watched three children
closely and their way OF learning to
talk has been absolutely as Individual
as are the children themselves. The
eldest began at nine months to say
Mama, Dada, man. hoy and SO forth.
and after awhile, come. go, stay, run,
and all the necessary verbs. and then
the connecting words, in such abso-
lutte agreement with the best author
tiles on learning to speak," that /
began to plume myself upon 1t as a
personal matter. 1t is interesting to
note that this interest in language. in
words and their exact meaning and
accurate use, has always been a part
of this child's development.
My personal vanity as a good train
er in language received shock
when the second baby came to a
speaking age. Not word would she
say. "Uh-hum" doing duty for every.
thing; and SO clever was she and
well developed mentally that 1t was
almost uncanny TO see how she con.
veyed her entire meaning and got
what she wanted without words. We
tried encouragement. discipline. and
example las her sister was then five)
and when we had begun to feel quite
disconnected, she suddenly at eigh-
teen months burst into whole senten.

The Importance OF purchasing

and there were no benefits accruing
to our farmers, local pride alone

that much more to the price paid the

upon beet sugar. The price is less
than cane sugar. and here are the
advantages:
Cane sugar comes from Cuba or
Hawaii. Very little. II any. comes
from Louisiana. II is produced by
cheap negro or japanese labor. The
money paid for 1t goes out OF the
country The value OF cane sugar Is
no different than beet sugar. This
has been proved by years OF investi.

saving is reflected in the price paid
the grower per ton for his beets, as
the payments to the beet grower are
distributed throughout the year ac-

$5.25 per ton as the first payment on
their beets. Since then. they have
received two additional payments.

GOVERNMENT TO LEASE THE
HOSPITAL AT MUSKOCEE

The Oklahoma Soldiers Memorial
Hospital to be constructed at Mus.
kogee will be leased by the govern
ment as soon as it is ready for occu-
pancy. The agreement was made by
the Soldiers Relief Commission OF
Oklahoma at Washington last week
through Col. c. R. Forbes, head of
the U. S. Veterans Bureau, and in
the presence of congressman from
Oklahoma. 1t will be leased from
year to year, and at Az per cent of
the cost of construction.
Under the arrangement no more
disabled men will be sent out of the
state, and all those elsewhere at this
time will probably be brought back
The hospital was authorized by the
last legislature and $50O,OOO was ap-
propriated for it's construction and
its location left to the soldiers Re-
lief Commission, which selected
Muskogee.
Through arrangements made, Ok
lahoma veterans will receive treat
ment in their own state where they
will be among their friends and where
their relatives may visit them with
out having to make long trips.
