One Of the always novel sights Of
Petrograd and Moscow these days is
that Of the volunteer nurses, each
with her flock of ten or a dozen con.
valescent soldiers shutting along the
Nevsky or the Neya wall, going to
the movies or staring wide-eyed at
the pictures in the Tretiakoff gal
lery or the Hermitage. You always
wonder what they are saying, these

never, perhaps, been away from their
distant villages, and their demure
little chaperons who have not in

FISH THAT IS UNREASONABLE
But 0enlxen Of the Sea 10 Worthy o.
Much Respect, II Only Con.
sumer Could See Il

It seems as if there are fashions in
fish just as there are in wearing ap-
parel. A fish that brings in German
markets nearly four times as much
per pound as our fresh mackerel, and
considerably more than haddock, is
thrown away by our fishermen be-
cause no one wants to eat it. And il
is mighty good fish, too, says the
Popular Science Monthly. Those
who eat it praise it for its delicate
flavor. Even the English like it. Ey.
cry year they consume 5000 tons
of it. Yet we will have none of it.
This fish is known as the goose
fish, anglerfsh, devilfsh and monk
fish. True, its appearance is against
it, but still the epicures in England
and Germany demand it because il
is delicious. Analyses made by the
bureau Of fisheries on samples show
that goosefsh contains considerably
more protein than founder, slightly
more than a cod, a little less than
sirloin steak. The goosefsh has an
average length Of three feet and is
broad and flat, somewhat resembling
the founder in general outline. The
only way to get it, says a Philadel.
phia woman, is for the housewives to
club together and demand it. At the
present time fishermen do not take
the trouble to bring it home, but dis
card it from their nets.

Raymer has never observed Mem
orial Day. We have held services
on the Sabbath when we ordinarily
do not work anyway and the obser-
vance cost us no time.
This year we should start the
custom OF observing this day given
up to memories of those who sacri-
fed their kyes for their county.
America has needed a reviaval of
patriotism for some time. We need
to know more Of what this nation
has cost; we need to think of what
our fathers did, and we need more
of the resolution that We will pre-
serve what they secured.
We need to know American his
tory. Memorial day will help to
FIX historic incidents in the minds
Of the young more than any week
in school.
Several old veterans live among
us yet, but in a few years they will
be gathered to their fathers. 1t

Prof. Hewitt received the following
letter from Supt. Copeland
My dear Mr.. Hewitt;
Replying to yours
of April 9Th: | am almost certain that
it will be impossible for me to be with
you on the 18th as requested, but am
making all calculations to be with you
on the 3rd Of May as | promised.
Please make it clear to the people
who are assembled for your exhibit day
that my failure to be with them is due
in no sense to Indifference to them or
to the Importance of the occasion, but
rather to the impossibility of being in
two or three places at the same time.
wish to commend most heartily not
only the daily work being done in the
Raymer school but all these attempts
to bring people together and rouse
their interest in the educational possi-
bilities Of their school.
Very respectfully yours,
A. B. Copeland,
Sup't. Weld County.
Our country is at war. Our schools
foster and, we hope, develop those
principles of character, liberty and
Justice that we now, as a nation, fight
b maintain. How could our school
show its patriotism and loyalty to these
principles better just now than by float
ing the stars and stripes? The school
needs good big flag. Will our patri-
otic friends help US get one?

While in Ft. Morgan Monday
morning we learned from Captain

made to secure a suitable camping
place near that town for the Com

Morgan to go into camp and train.
While there is no certainty that
the plan will be carried out. Cap.

mail Tuesday having been called
to Denver to consult with the au-
thorities about military matters.
1t would seem that such a move
would be most advisable at this
time. If we understand the situ-
alton, the combatants need sup
plies and ammunition more than
they need anything else. The need
Of Germany along this line is
greater than that of the allies Our
allies. 1t would seem that the best
assistance we could render them is
to exert every energy to produce
food and supplies To withdraw a
large body Of men from the field Of
production and put them among
the consumers of provisions would
be unwise at this time. At the
same time. We would not care to
assume those burdens only which
would enrich us, and allow US to
assume none Of the dangers of the
situation.
We should act wisely and courag
