Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Heavy selling of

the announced program to dispense

er than before on reports of liquida-
tlon in the New York stock market.
The close was weak at "a to 4%c net
decline, with May at 1O9 and July at
1857.
Corn gave way with wheat. Opening
prices, which were unchanged to 5sc
lower, were followed by fall in some
cases to nearly four cents below Sat
urday's close.
IN corn, as in wheat, a transient re-
covery was succeeded by increased
heaviness. The close was at 31s to
35sc net decline.
Oats sympathized with the weak
ness OF other grain.
In provisions, the effect of higher
prices on hogs was more than offset by
, the depression of grain.

ENCOURAGE THE MILL
TARY MAN EVERY TIME
YOU GET A CHANCE

| Since the local company of the mill
tia was ordered into the service of
the United St-tes, the indiA idual mem
! hers have been accosted more or less
fby laughs and jihes. Many people seem
to take delight in making fun of the
/ boys because they are willing to full
hll their duty and do all they can for
their country.
! Those very people are laughing and
saying unkind things are the vey peo-
: pie these men are going out, with
every sacrifice OF home, business and
loved ones behind them, to protect.
These people who are jibing, would
! they make the sacrifices that are nee
essary? No, you can bet your sweet
life they would not.
They are the ones who say, "If Uncle
Sam wants me he'll have to come and
get me with six-shooter." And they
really think they are patriotic.
They would rather the arms and the
flag of their country be dragged in the
dust of Greaserdom. They would
much sooner see the great United
States torn to very shreds than sacri-
fee one little comfort for their puny,
selfish little souls.
The men who are going out are do
ing it from serss of duty. They
didn't choose to do So The President
called and they answered thlt call as
fast as they colld. 1t is such action
that makes Americanism. 1t is such
sacrifices that is the very lie of pa
triotism
These men should be treated with
respect. They should be encouraged
and cheered. At very best they are
hlue at heart. They must leave home,
family ties and all. to go they know
not where But they are brave. they
are bearing up as stalwart red-bIooded
Americans should. Their burden
should be made as light as possible.
A word OF commendation here and
there viii help wonderfully. They
should he cheered not jeered and those
who cheer wiz be sharing with them
the Americanism which we all admire
Encourage the military man every
time You get chance. Pat him on
the back. Give him a good word.
Compliment him instead OF josh him.
Give him the glad hand. We need
more like him everywhere.

MORE PATRIOTISM AMONG

will practically be in disgrace IS far
as military affairs of the state of Colo
RADIO and the n tlon is concerned.
And yet that is likely to happen if the
young men of the town do not respond.
The young unmarried men OF the city
whose sacri ices would be the mini
mum are the ones that are wanted
first. The recruiting officers do not
want to take married men whose fami-
lies are dependent upon them unless
it is absolutely necessary and yet there
are many married men in the company
to whom the sacrifice is great and yet
they are willing TO make It because
canism flowing in their veins and they
are willing to do their duty and fight
for their country's honor even II the
young men are not.
1t is patriotic dirty to serve ones
country in tine of need. Our fore,
fathers had to do 1t and because they
sacrificed everything this nation IS the
great one. one and inseparable. that 1t
is today.
The burden, as always. should fall
upon the youtg footfree men fist.
There are many who realize this and
are doing their duty. But what about
the rest? where are they? and what Is
Their excuse? Is it because they will
lose their jobs 1t IS not because the
merchants of this town have shown
their patriotism by offering to give
the positions back when the men re.
turn If there are any OF their en-
ployes who wish to go.
