DChNV Vi -SOlOi duO Will 10 more
than her bit in the war. 1t will be
done voluntarily and gladly, and be-
cause she wants to do it, not because
1t is demanded or expected.
Colorado's share of the army to be
raised will be one out of every hun
dred or 10000 OF the 100000 men re-
Quired by the army. Counting the
National Guard. she has almost
reached half this number now and a
total of more than 100000 men will
be ready under the selective conscrip
tion system This is more than four
times the number the state would be
compelled to furnish.
or the army of women that must
conserve food. take the place of men
in industry. or go to the front as
nurses, Colorado will furnish 5000.
This will be one-twentieth of the
amount the nation is expecting to
serve, or ten times Colorado's share.
This state IS six weeks ahead of any
other state and three weeks ahead of
the government itself in its prepared.
ness plans, according to Harry Cor
nell, director of organization for the
ways and means committee of the
governors war council.
Aside from the men of military age
who will register, plans are being
made for an army of $4,000 to consist
of boys from IA to 81 years of age
and men from 81 to 55 years of age.
The duties of this army will be to
guard the homes. raise the crops and
otherwise assist the government and
state in such ways as the President
and the governor shall decide they are
needed.
Each man in the state under 81 and
over 81 years will be given a bronze
badge which he is to wear in his lapel
as a sign that he has enrolled in the
industrial army. He will have a regis
tration card on file and will have to
take an oath to support the state and
the nation.
Colorado will harvest a record crop
this year. Wheat and beets will be
as plentiful as ever. The mean crop
will be many times larger than ever
before. both pimentos and navy. Last
year the state had $4,000 acres of
beans. This year there will be 1850
acres under cultivation In nine coun-
ties already reported. Record crops
here are necessary to feed the fight
ers and supply home consumers.
Prices will not go up. but are expect
ed to go down inside OF year.
Colorado's 1.-THE OF the expense OF
this war will also be more than her
share. Estimating the cost on per
capita basis, Colorados share OF tho
expense would be $7o.0O0.0O0. She will
assume twice her share. 1t Is believed.
Just what the states share of the lib
erty loan will be is problematic. but
the governor believes It will be close
to S25.00O.00O. The tax on the in.
comes In the state and the special
taxes on luxuries. cosmetics. tele.
grams, letters. theater tickets. etc,
will bring the total close to $40, 600.
900 within the time II will take to fin
ish the war.
Every resource OF the state" said
Governor ]. C. Gunter, will be at the
governments service The lives of
our people. our mineral wealth, our
crops. our money. our live stock and
everything the country needs will be
ready when called for and frequently
offered in advance"

William C. Thornton, president of

been named by the governor as chair
nan of body to be known as the la
Dor survey committee for national
and state war service, and John r..
Lawson has been named member.
The committee will look after all
questions pertaining to industry. but
itg principal duty during the present

workers should continue their usual
occupations instead of going to the
front in order that labor conditions

OoVerhor Lays OUT War Program.
Colorado is ahead of other states.
and even of the government. in it's
preparedness plans, says Governor
Gunter. Here are Il few of the
things that are planned to be done
during the summer:
Give 100000 men to military
service.
Furnish 5000 men for patriotic
duty.
Form army of 10000 boys and
men too old for service to guard
homes. raise crops and otherwise
assist the state.
In smaller towns close all busi-
ness houses until p. m. that all

If Colorado is as patriotic as we have
always believed her to be, then she
is being grossly misrepresented in
Washington. we are reluctantly com
PEELED to admit. Where is the Jeffer-

about last fall? Two years hence his

sented again.-Arvada Enterprise.

II some Of the bellicose congressman
who are vociferously demanding that
the press should be muzzled were muz-
zled themselves what good thing II
would be for the country. Do these
self-appointed guardians of the public
welfare mean to say that the people
are to be denied the right OF knowing
what is going on these string times?

The investigation Of gasoline prices
has been made. the investigation OF
papers prices has been made and now
there is talk OF investigating the price

was too high. II will be the same In
the case of sugar. Mr.. Morey OF the

fled that sugar cost the factories q

Worlds Election Laws


Election laws throughout the world
vary enormously. We take it as a
matter of course that a man or woman
must be twenty-one years old to vote,
Girard observes in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
In Hungary men vote at twenty, but
in Austria, which the Irish bullmaker
would designate the major half of
Emperor Charles Joseph's empire, men
must be twenty-four.
We hear a great deal about Prus-
sianism these days. a Prussian cam
not vote under twenty-five. Nor can
the conquered Belgian cast a ballot at
Il more tender age.
Up in Denmark folks grow up slow
ly, and thirty years is the minimum
limit for Il voter. japanese are sup
posed to know enough at twenty-five
to use the ballot wisely.
The ear fixes things nicely in the
matter of elections. AS you know, he
has great army even in times of
peace,
But no Russian soldier can vote.
Nor can q Russian student or police
man. The theory is that these classes
of men can easily congregate so as to
act in unison. which might at certain
times cause formidable combinations
In Portugal domestic servants were
formerly not allowed to vote.
French and Italian soldiers when IN
der arms cannot enjoy the franchise.
England disqualifies anybody who ac-
cepts charitable relief, but she also
puts a premium upon the highbrow.
The United Kingdoms eight univer-
sites send nine members to parIia-
ment.

Clean and truss young fat goose,

Wise and Otherwise.

One taste of success is better than a

There are many touching incidents

Many a mans wife dresses stylishly

Never judge a man by his stylish

When a woman pounds the piano
she does it because she wants to, or
because her neighbOrs don't want her

visiting here, "They are beginning to
recognize this American type abroad.
Even those who were not born in
America develop into the American
type after ten or twenty years in this
country. Perhaps it is the freedom or
thought and action that brings about
the change. You know the poor man
of EurOpe-the peasant-has no free
dom of action and thought, and when
he comes to America and learns what
il is to act as he likes and think as he
likes it changes his whole cOuntenance.
This is what makes the American type,

No one need go hungry nor ask char

How long it will take no man can
tell. But today the best blood is be-

the best of her children are dying by
thousands of diseases back of the lines

men to push on her work and the men
who would have answered the call

future are dying in the trenches, the
