10 KITCHEN IMPROVEMENTS
COMPLETED FOR LESS THAN q

Wyoming farm housewives have been
studying the improvement Of their
kitchens, under tie direction Of thsir
extension agents. A report received BY
the United States Department Of ARri-
culture states that the kitchen in
Platte County which won first prize
was in . two-room house on Q dry
land farm. Exclusive Of new floor,
the 40 improvements which were made
cost less than 81. The average cost
OF improvement throughout the county
was only S.. The time allowed for
completing Improvements was six
weeks. Points considered in scoring
we're the efficiency Of the kitchen as a
whole. including the arrangement of
the furniture. and utensils to save
time and labor; the initiative and in
genuity manifested by the owner of
the kitchen; and the results obtained
compared with the outlay of money.
After the contest the women and their
husbands went on kitchen tour to see
the improvements in other homes.
There was great interest in this tour
In spite of the long distances between
homes.
In Sheridan County the average ex-
penditure Tor Improvement was $40

Dear Mary
Well. we didn't get moved to town
after all. II rained and Jack couldn'.
get TO town without getting covered
with mud. Anyway, we are going 20
morrow.
Helen and the boy have gone up to
Lee Lehman's runch to the harvest
dance the Lehmans are giving for
Miss Teresa Biebel.
There is also big dance tonight at
Doylevillc. Walter Adams and wife
are giving il in honor of her brother,
VIM. Harmon Of Neosho, Missouri,
who is here with his wife and two
children.
III be glad when VIC get settled in
town. l hear Jesse. Corum has been
appointed truant officer by the school
board. He rounds the kids up.
Jack wanted to 20 to town so badly
today. He is all worked up over polit-
ical doings. The Republicans held a
convention today in Gunnison and l
heard they nominated +. w. Gray for
state senator. Laura Lewis and Ira
Brown were appointed on the central
committee. The Democrats are hav-
ing convention in Denver. Alva
Adams will run for governor on that
ticket. ID. 7. Sapp will run against
Mr.. Gray for the senatorship Of this
county
Wish we could 90 down to the lower
country and get load of fruit. but
railroad fare costs too much and il
takes horse SO long to make the
trip. Mrs. Theo. Davis and Mrs. F..
G. Zugelder and Elmer Davis went
down last week. Mr.. Davis is from
Valley City, Kansas, and is looking for
a fruit ranch.
Jack was talking to C. H. Judd in
town yesterday. He brought his
niece, Miss Stella Preston. down to
take the train for Ivan, Kansas; her
mother being very i'll. Jack got ali
the mining news from that section.
George Bryant Of the same place
was also in town, having his eye treat
ed. A piece of machinery at the mill
in Gothic hit him in the eye. That
mill is turning out lot Of good values
taken from the dump Of the Sylvanite
and Hard Cash mines there.
Say, while ! was Strengthening up
the other day, l came across an old
newspaper copy Of the Gunnison
Review-Press of the early days. On
one page was an item about William
Strunk starting shoe store in lower
town. He Is still on the job, too, but
wonder il he'll be there twenty
years from now. How time flies.
see by the local paper that Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Eberling Of Sargents,
have purchased the Belvedere hotel in
Montrose. Quite an investment.
Wish we could have got TO town to-
day. The w. X. C. is going to hold
an initiation tomorrow afternoon. The
new members are Edith Kennison and
Julia Redden.
My boy also got an invitation over
the phone little while ago to attend
the surprise dance To be given tomor-
row night at the Masonic Hall on Matt
Schmit1. It's his birthday.
Well, l am gstting sleepy, so will

ter from Oakland, California:

Ny Dear Mr.. Lake:-
Enclosed please find my check for
another years subscription to the
News Champion. I really do not like
because = fellow may hop OF during
the year and | have never heard Of q
newspaper making any refund in that
case.
There is nothing particularly new
in this part of the country. We had
been promised q great treat for the
Fourth of July last by a big parade
Of the knights of the frey Cross,

sion revoked the permit n few days
before l would have liked to have
seen ten thousand bed sheets all trav-
cling in the same direction.
The Eighteenth Amendment and
Volstead law fare very badly in Oak
land and San Francisco. Oakland
alone claims 1000 stills. II appears
that Uncle Sam is going TO the bad,
too. While in pre- prohibition days
he was quite an efficient custodian of
the goods in his bonded warehouses;
he now finds that the contents of many
barrels have turned into water when
legal withdrawals are made, but in
Illegal Withdrawals everything seems
to be o. X.
Concerning the election. will say
that il il wasn't for the Iowa farmers
vote in Los Angeles. LaFollette would
have captured the electoral vote OF
the state.
Gunnisonites around the bay cities
are all well and doing fine.
Yours Sincerely,

WATERLESS CLOUDS

There are such clouds. You have seen them during the
long summer days. One of the writer's Of the New Testament
speaks to us of people, who, he says, Are clouds without wa
ter Strange sort of people, don't you think? Some days
are dark and lowery; it neither rains nor clears up, and the
light must be switched on earlier than on other days. Now
these waterhess clouds.
These people look like other men and women we know
they have the same kind Of faces, the same kind of hands, the
same kind Of feet. They use the same language, and yet
there must be something lacking in their characters. Perhaps
they are what we call % luffers.'
Waterless clouds are seen everywhere. They are to be
seen IN school, in the home, -everywlere. The waterless boys
and girls look like other boys and girls, but they do not study
their lessons, and when the examination comes along they
'flunk.' was taking a young fellow through his Scout eN
animation this morning, and he, am afraid, was one of those
waterless clouds. He did not have his lesson and nearly flmked
Then there are waterless clouds in CHURCH. Think of
1T! You know that most all the Church work is done by Il
few: the rest are waterless clouds. The treasurer Of the Church
knows the waterless clouds all right. There are many people
in Church who look just like other people, and when the offer
ing is being taken they act like other people: they 90 through
the same motions of putting their hands in their pockets and
pulling something out, but when they put their offering into
the plate can fairly hear the treasurer say, "CLOUDS
WITHOUT WATER.'
Trees that bear no fruit are useless. Jesus came one
day to a fig tree. He was hungry and wanted figs to eat.
But there were no figs. 1t was barren. Jesus was thinking
OF the Jewish nation when He said that that tree would be
destroyed, because it brought forth no fruit. The next day
His disciples observed that the tree was dead. Jesus did not
like trees without fruit. He did not like clouds without water.
SO you see, we must be real boys and girls. Away with
pretence! Be real! Put a noble purpose in your heart and
set before you Il high ideal after which to strive and then
strive for it with all your might, so that, when the test comes,
1T will be found that there is nothing lacking in your charac-
tiers. Then it will be impossible for others to say to you, ale
