He said, ut has this much to do
with you--your fellows are getting
into trouble every day, knocking
those men off the wagons; they are
being put into Jail, paying fines, many
Of them away from their families for

That strike lasted for five months
and that strike breaking agency col

even more than that amount and

he might furnish only four or five.

UNTRUTHFUL
REPORTS HAVE
LITTLE EFFECT

Reports that the shopmen's strike
had been settled were circulated
freely Wednesday, and caused quite
a stir in railroad circles.
The report was untrue, however,
and after being sifted down proved
to be a shrewd move on the part Of
railroad managers, freely given pub
lieity by the big city dailies, in the
hopes Of stampeding strikers back to
the shops. What results were OBJ
tanned by these questionable methods
is hard to ascertain, but it had little
OF no effect here, as the men know
that when the strike is settled, they
will be notified from the proper
source.
1t is the last hope Of the railroads
that the strike can be broken by de-
sertions from the union ranks.

SHOULD BE WELL LAID OUT
Importance of Proper Planning of
Towns Future Is a Matter Too
Apt to Be Overlooked.

Speaking at the session of the CON
ference, the Rev. Howard S.. Childley
OF Winchester pointed out that town
planning is an ancient art, applied by
the Romans In England and excel
lently instanced by the planning of
the town common at Oxford. England.
In Its application, he said. European
cities and towns are far ahead of the
United States and American cities and
towns show today of what value plan
ming would have been at their incep-
ton. To obtain this development now.
Doctor Childley urged, education of
the community to the economic value
of the work, and her the enlistment
of individual interest In cooperation
must be attained.
AS the representative of the Com
monwealth, Mr.. Young declared that.
despite eight years of encouragement
by law, the need Of town and city
planning Is not widely enough realized.
He asserted that the time has come
for the state to provide more appro-
priation for this work md to aid In
creating public interest. Pointing to
the development of municipal forests
abroad. he urged the importance Of
such reservations to a community
with the lapse of n half century.

COLORADO A DAIRY STATE.
Opportunities UnrivaIed by Any State
in the Union, Declares Farm
Expert.

Denver.-"Colorado's opportunities
ms a dairy state are unrivaled by any
state in the Union," Earle G. Reed, ag-
ricultural expert of the Colorado &
Southern railroad, said recently on the
return of the dairy demonstration tour
through Colorado and the Southwest,
being conducted by the railroad in CO.
operation with the Colorado Agricul-
tural College and the Colorado Dairy
Council.
Wisconsin, at the present time, is
the greatest dairying state in the coun-
try" Mr.. Reed said. "a short time
ago they were selling their alfalfa at
S24 a ton. Colorado alfalfa sold for So
a ton. Other feeds correspondent in
price. Together with her climate,
Colorado has the advantage of being
able to raise the greatest yield Of feed
an acre at like cost. The future of the
Industry is more than promising"
The tour was continued when n spe-
cial demonstration car was taken to
Berthoud and other northern Colorado
towns. The lap took in eight cities, ex-
tending south to Texline, Texas. The
demonstrations will be completed on

The more ambitious maculine effort

thus the yearly competition feeds the

ter wedding. Having chosen the most
beloved of flowers, the designer re-
fused to adorn the rose and made the
toque entirely of magnificent full
blown blossoms. A beauty-loving
world cannot have too much of lowell

added. Nothing more enchanting can
be imagined for the attendants of the

Easter there are very beautiful flower
toques in which the shape is entirely
covered with blossoms, o. the crown
is covered with them supported by a
narrow brim of crepe de chine. Some
times the toque is merely a mass of
lovely blossoms and sometimes a pro-
fusion of loops and ends of narrow.
p~icot-edged ribbon falls from the brim
at one side toward the back. Many
sorts of blossoms are used, usually in
pastel c%olorings, and n is apt to find
among them little berries. The ribbon
