some time silver played so large part
in the destinies of Colorado that from
1892 to 1890 the majority OF Colo
radoans felt that the very existence OF
the state depended upon the price OF
silver. But in the midst OF their anx-
iety the discovery OF gold in the lode
mines OF Cripple Greek and Leadville
turned the attention of the state back
to its first product. In 1890 the state
produced its greatest output of gold,
nearly S2o,00O.000.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he can not be too care
ful about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars later on. 1t is the
same in buying Chambcrlain's Collie

the steel industry Gradually he is
backing up in the face OF concerted
public opinion directed against the
bruializing conditions in American
life that are perpetuated through the
continuation of l2-hour working day
in one OF the principal industries in
the country.
Buy Your Coal Early.
In the face OF report by the Presi-
dents Coal Commission showing the
iniquities in coal mining. the publicity
avenues OF the coal industry are be-
ing tapped in order that the news may
leak out to the public that you must
buy your coal early" because-say the
whisperers, there may be coal strike,
the railroads may not be able to fur
nish transportation. or Ford may take
all the bitumen out OF the product for
gasoline and make it unfit for fur
naces-or the world may come TO an
end, or some other little thing hap
pen.
1t has ever been thusly. The Fed
eral Government makes big fuss
about such a thing as coal strike, and
indignation over coal profiteering ex-
presses itself throughout the country.
Then there is a commission. an inves-
tigation. a report telling all the tricks
and evils that have been inflicted upon
the public. Usually the coal barons
wal; til the excitement blows over
before starting to repeat their old tao
tics. But this time they omit even that
regard for public rights. When you
read, buy your coal early" you may
be sure the advice has the approval OF
the industrial barons who have so long
iimfiammed their customers.
The Old-Time Immigrants
The Commissioner OF immigration
reports that Northern and Western
European countries are sending their
full quota of immigrants to America.
He says that they are the best assort-
ment OF immigrants that have come
to this country in thirty years. The
United Kingdom. hit by labor depres-
sions, has been sending us thousands
of first class people. Denmark. France,
Sweden, Norway. the Netherlands and
Switzerland. have sent its sons and
daughters and they will search out the
that the United States
has to offer them.
A peculiar phase of all this Euro
pean wanderlust is evidenced in the
fact that while over 10000 Italians
came to the United States last year
that more than $4,000 departed. The
Greeks. Jugo-Slavs and Poles returned
to their mother countries in larger
numbers than their arrivals. Love of
country is said to furnish the reason
Tor shis migration. During the war
the European nations called upon their
sons to return and fight for the faith
erland, but now. it appears. that a
similar call is being answered. asking
he sons to strenthen their own ma
ionalism. and inviting particularly the
offspring to return home

ias asked her able-bodied men to

,ealed to the colonists whom she sent
