It apparently is the same old story: Home people as a rule do not realize the opportunities that are here. The first settlers of this valley did not appreciate the value of that large fertile tract we now call the Sandridge. It was the very last land in the valley to be occupied. A few years from now not a few of those who read these lines will state: "I did not know that Palmer valley would' ever be the prosperous countiy it is." It will be too late then. The opportunity is now. No experiment. Many families have already demonstrated the productiveness of the 6oil. You know the location, near railroad, near Elgin, adjoining a forest reserve, which means cheap range for stock and free fuel for all time. Come in and let us reason together. Geo. H.

(United Press) Eight German war prisoners, released 'from the Japanese prison camp at Nagoya, near here, because they were of French descent and former resi dents of Alsnce-IiOrraine, are today All fresh and green is Myrtle's gewn, on their way to Marseilles to join the In tone of jade 'tU shaded; ' French army and fight the country And yet you'd not call Myrt a jade, which claims them as subjects. Nor say that she looks jaded. The men left Yokohama secretly.

There are fourteen others I and then Gait green and now this sea- in the Nagoyacamp who claim to be ' J son we are to stick to the samo pri- of French descent. They, too, arc ex- mary hue as the last named color fa- pected to apply for release. ! ! write uui ue given h iiuw suuue. jiiu since there is no feminine appella tion to colorfully call it we are to be tinted this springtime a delicate Shad owlawn green. So it seems some of the presidential notes are color notes after all. Most everyone will be glad to wel come green back r.nd as coming events always cast their Shadowlawns before so the smart shopwindows are begin- j ning to put forth green and flourish- j ing frills and furbelows. It is such a comfort now to know ! isn't it that when you turn green with ! envy you will be right in the very latest style for all of us are so prone to do 80. Next to Shadowlawn grten for pop ularity will be the ever verdant em erald hue and all the French models are Paris Green of course. Then there is a lovely jade green that will appeal to the most jaded of sartorial appe tites though when you are all dolled up in this exquisite shade you mustn't take it amiss if you excite exclama tions of "O, isn't she the jade!" To me green always has a tang of youth and seawater and salad with a dash of creme de menthe on the side. It is always cool and refreshing and just a bit piquant, you know. Surely the ideal color scheme for springtime and summer. Just because we are to have green clothes doesn't mean that we must have green judgments and personali ties however. Many a bit of Shadow- lawn will no doubt cloak a purple past and shroud a hectic present this summer. Green straw huts arc adorable, es pecially when topping Titian tresses and it is just as easy nowadays to get the Titian tresses as it is to get the green straw hats. There are plain green sailor shapes untrimmed save for a sell toned notion uami ana a cun ning poke shape model of letiucc green is piled high with tiny apples, grapes, cherries and blackberries like a veritable fruit salad. It really is a peach. We are threatened with an epidemic of pokes this season it seems whether green or otherwise. One or leal green straw has a crown of massed violets with their stems falling fringe like over the brim. To go with it is a bag of leaf green satin with its low er part a mass of the violets, their stems forming a fringe across the 'k t tom of the bag in imitation of the stem fringed chancuu. Another poke whose crown is of inch wide ribbon, lattice laced, has an accompanying lag of lattice laced inch ribbons. For every bonnet his its bag and every bag its fcmnct tnese 1917 days of com plements and compliments. Another violet poke dispenses with the touch of favorite green and brims its massed violet crown with violet strawat faced in old blue silk. One may get the necessary dash of verdure with this all violet hr.t by wearing with it a frock of jade. For truly one of nature's most perfect color combinations is green and violet and as much as we like to go nature one better in this respect we can't improve upon her. Green suits, green sweaters, green parasols, green stockings, green slip 'pers, green blouses, green hankies and green purses of course filled with greenbacks promise indeed a verdant spring. Indeed if the mad craze for the 'wearing of the green goes much fur ther we may next expect it to effect 'our diet. 'No doubt green tea will soon take the place of pink ten and green turtle soup, green peppers, green peas, green corn and green gage plums make up our smartest lunch eons and dinners menus regardless of calories. But anyway may our vir tucs also bloom ;nd flourish as long and as ever green as our garments, A Hint to the Aged. If people past sixty years of age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two days, they would recover much more quickly, especially if they bake Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by any of the more serious diseases.
