WAR CASUALTIES ARE LESS
Reports From Leading 5eIligerents
Indicate Steady Decline on the
Western Front.

Recent official figures indicate that
French casualties have declined stead
lily for some time. British reports,
though not reduced to an arithmetical
basis, point in the same direction, and
German claims suggest that experience
on that side of the line is similar. the
Saturday Evening Post observes.
Increasingly, 1t seems, the western
fighting draws upon artillery; infantry
advances only when the way has been
carefully prepared by deluge Of
shells. The old expedIent Of sending
men against well-supported well-served
batteries appears to be falling pro-
gressively into dlsfavor. There are, OF
course. no comprehensive figures; but
such evidence that comes to hand indl-
Gates decreasing mortality rate. Ger
tainly the claims from all three great
headquarters as to their own losses
bear that color.
The western front, in short, is doubt
less very far from being that mere
slaughterhouse which popular imagina-
ton has pictured 1t. Probably the
chances of survival there are now su-
perior to the ordinary chances Of war !;
and this summers experience seems to
imply that with an increasing depend
ence on artillery the casualty rates will
decline.
War is not a theatrical business in
which every position is defended to the
last man. 1t is largely like game Of
chess. When the enemy's guns say
"Checkmate !" an intelligent command
er recognizes the situation and falls
back for u new move.

New Cooling Device.

A new means of keeping cool is an
electric fan which combines some Of
the principles of windmill with those
Of a water wheel. A cylindrical paddle
wheel rests in a shallow semi-cylin-
drical tank of water, which Is cooled
by contact with small compartment
of Ice. A small electric fan is so
placed as to play on the paddle wheel.
The air current turns the wooden
wheel slowly, and passing between the
blades the air is cooled by contact with
microscopic particles of icy water car
ried along by the wheel. This ma
chine is said to be able to reduce the
temperature of a room 25 degrees.

DO NOT DESPOIL YOUR WOODl
LOT
Heavy Demand for Wood May Tempt
Injudicious Cutting. Some Sug-
gestions

More wood will be used for fuel this
winter than in peace times. This in
crease in wood fuel will be more no.
ticeable in the mountain towns in Col
orado where there is a supply of wooo
nearby. The increased cost of coal
will bring wood fuel into favor and
possibly the lack of transportation fol
coal will force the use of wood hauleo
in by ranchmen. The manufacturing
plants and city residences, however
must have coal at any price.
These conditions will give the wood
land owner better market than uss
ual and incidentally an opportunity to
improve his woodlot or to abuse it
In cutting to improve his woodlot the
owner should remove the dead ano
diving trees, and trees attacked by in
sects or fungi. He should leave the
good, sound, straight trees suitable
for saw logs, as these will bring mor'
for lumber than for fuel. Crooked
leaning trees may be cut for fuel, ant
also trees of inferior species. Old
matured and decadent trees may b.
cut.
No portion of the woodlot should be
clean cut unless the area is to be
cleared for agriculture or pasture or i
to be planted to trees. In cutting th'
woodlot for fuel, then, the genera
scheme should always be to remove
the least valuable material. By fol
lowing this plant the woodlot will be
continually improving. Care must be
taken. however, not to remove 81
much material that wind will throw
the remaining trees or that grass o.
weeds will come in thickly. w. j

GOVERNMENT URGES INCREASE
OF POULTRY PRODUCTS
Dwellers in Cities and Towns, As Well
As Farmers, Can Help in Produc-
tion of Animal Food

Our national government in this
gigantic struggle of the world in its
cndeavor to feed ourselves and our
allies has found that it is necessary
to greatly increase poultry and egg
production. The shortage is so large
and the necessity SO great that con-
gress made a large emergency appro-
priation to be used by the bureau of
animal industry of the department of
agriculture in connection with the
state extension service in each state
to acquaint our people with the condi-
tions and obtain through them the
necessary increase. This work is be-
ing taken up in each state of the
Union and it becomes absolutely i'm
perative to obtain as large an in
crease in poultry and eggs as possible.
The production of poultry and eggs
is capable of the greatest and most
rapid increase of any animal products
and our country and our allies are de-
pendent upon these for our greatest
increase in animal foods for the COM
ing years.
wish to call the attention of farm
ers. poultrymen and all others who
keep poultry or who are situated so
that they could do SO to this fact and
that poultry culture offers the great
est opportunity for greater number
of persons, especially women and the
children, of the farm and of cities
and villages to take part in increasing
the animal food supply.
find that Colorado is importing
large quantities of poultry products,
running into millions of dollars worth
yearly.
The fact that poultry products can
be shipped here and sold in your mar
kets should be sufficient assurance
that poultry and egg production in the
state of Colorado must be a very prof
liable occupation.
The department of agriculture has
farmers bulletins for free distribution
which may be obtained through your
county agent or by writing to the
department of agriculture, Washing
ton, d. c., for them or to the writer
Colorado Agricultural College, Fort
Collins, Colorado.
Plans and specifications for the
construction of poultry houses may be
obtained by writing Prof. p. F. Scho
wengerdt, of the State Poultry De-
partment, Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Practically everyone in the state
can keep some poultry profitably. ]
feel that you all will take hold of
this work and do all you can to place
Colorado in the list of states as an ex-
porter of poultry products. By so do
ing you will serve your state and coun-
try and bring profit to yourself.-H

$4,000 Monument on Shiloh Battle
Field Unveiled in Presence Of
Large Audience.
Nashville, Tenn, May 1S.-One of
the most notable memorial efforts Of
the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy became an accomplished fact
Yesterday afternoon when the $50
600 Confederate Monument on Shiloh
battle field was unveiled in the pres
ence. of large audience, including
veterans from several States. The
monument which stands in Prentls
Circle of Shiloh Battle Field Park,
is the work of Frederick c. Hubbard,
of Chicago, and typifies the Confed-
crate idea of the bloody two days
battle on April and 2, 1862, when
the death of General Albert Sidney
Johnston and the coming of night
with reinforcement from Grants
army turned victory into defeat. The
orator of the day was Bishop Thor-
