History Gone Wild

Alva Swain, special editorial writer
of the Pueblo Chieftain, has found
some strange things Under the Cap

it is Il sample of what the state his
torical society keeps on tap or
whether he has been hitting the pipe.
Anyway here is sample from Sun
days issue Under the Capitol Dome" "
"Since the time of Christ four men,
Napoleon, Alexander, Pilot and Caesar
have tried to control the commercial
world. Each has failed because in
some peculiar way the religion and
teachings Of Jesus Christ has inter
fered."
No one will dispute with him on the
question of Napoleon being somewhat
Of a centralizer and being somewhat
more recent than Christ, but Alcxan-
dcr-thc mist of over thrcl centuries
of ancient tradition had made him as
much . myth when Christ was on the
Caesar-by the time Christ was born
nearly fifty years had elepsed since
his assassination, and men discussed
whether Brutus stabbed him in a
quarrel over "a woman or game Of
poker. Who the devil Pilot was, is a
deep dark mystery that is concealed in
Alva's dome, and he has not yet let
the historians into his confidence.
With a number Of perfectly good sus-
poets that could have been picked in
the last nineteen hundred years, it is
hard to understand why Alva went
back into prehistoric ages and myth

THANK SEWING GAME
Town Team Swamped by the High
School Savages so to

That football is game of organi-
zation and team work was well prov
ed to the crowd assembled at Sonora
park on Thanksgiving afternoon to
see the football game between the
town pickups and the High School
Savages. The town team was COM
posed of players who have most all
in the past been real stars Of the
game, and made many brilliant plays,
but after the first few minutes of
play it was evident to all the specta-
tors that the splendid organization and
team work of the entire Savage
eleven was not to be overcome and the
only question was the size of the
score. The only score by the town
team was the second kickoff of the
game when Bob Strain received the
ball and ran almost the full length
of the field through the entire Savage
lineup for touchdown. The Savages
had already made one touchdown and
kicked goal so the score was never
even tied. The most spectacular play
of the day was in the third quarter
when Donald Mclean ran almost the
full length of the field and looked to
have sure touchdown, but was stop
ped near the goal line by headlong
tackle by Bob Strain after a long
dash across the field. Both players
rolled into the crowd on the side
lines and raised cloud of dust that
obscured the play for a few moments.
The only accident of the game was an
injury to Marion Strain early in the
first quarter, which cost the town
team a valuable player. but no bones
were broken and it did not prove to
be of a serious nature.
The Savages rolled up score OF "a
in the first half, but during the inter
mission the town boys put in some
new men and during the third quar-
ter played the regular team almost to
n standoff, but organization told in
the end and the Savages came back
with a score of 16 in the last quar-
ter, All the high school boys played
a good game and the captain, Bob
Ford, as usual was a special star.
Marion Conwell kept up his record for
kicking goals. and the whole line help
ed with fine interference at all stages
of the play. The play was more open
than usually sccn here any many fine
forward passes were made. The Saw
ages have completed their season and
won second place in the league, win
ming as many games as Las Animas'
the champions, and only losing the one
through a little lax play at the start
Of the game.

STAND BY THE GOVERNMENT
by Saving You Materially Benefit
Your National Government In Its
Great Crisis As Well As
Yourself

Colorado must awaken, as must the
nation.
The need of the country cannot be
over emphasized. Only by freeing
energies and goods now devoted TO
The manufacture and distribution Of
Injuries and unnecessary articles can
the army in the field and the navy
on the sea be properly equipped and
maintained This the War Savings
Stamp campaign aims to accomplish.
1t is within each citizens power to
aid
1t should be the badge Of patriotic
honor for Colorado citizens to stop all
buying, except what is necessary to
maintain health and efficiency, and
loan tina money to the government;
wear patched, old clothes. For ex-
ample, it should be patriotic salts
faction that a man has worn a pair Of
shoes a month longer than he ordinar-
lily would.
For the United States can manufac-
ture only a certain number of shoes.
And that number is the number or
dinarhy needed to supply the nations
ordinary demands.
Now the nation is buying millions OF
pairs of shoes for the army and navy,
while the armies of the allies must al
so be partly supplied from America.
All in addition to the regular demand.
II can not be done. The factories can
not meet the demand. They haven't
the facilities And they're short Of
labor. Money will buy neither.
As it is with shoes, so it is with
hundreds Of other goods needed by
the government.
The luxury Of the nation is weaken
ing its fighting power. Luxury must
become a by-wOrd during the strug-
Gle for democracy and liberty. Luxur-
les require men to make them, to pro-
vide them. And these men are needed
in the manufacture of shoes, in the
manufacture Of munitions, in trans
nortation. in the production and hand
ling of food and in the thousands Of
necessary labors that 20 to make an
efficient nation supporting IN efficient

So all must save, save, save. And to
helm the government and themselves
citizens should put their savings in
War Savings Stamps.
EITHER We stand by our luxuries or
we stand by our government" is the
way Frank A. Vanderslip, chairman Of
the national War Savings Stamp cam
paign puts it.
.The government" he says, "has

going to spend $4,000, 100000 during
the present year. But are we going

needs?
AT the present time the answer Of
the American people is No They in

at believe that this answer is being
given without a full realization of
what it means; but that in no wise
minimizes its effect. This no stands
