EQUIPMENT READY
FOR NATIONAL ARMY
Uniforms and Armament Will Be
Plentiful, Is Report.

No alarm should be felt over re-
ports of an equipment shortage for
the national army. With the ap-
proval of Secretary Baker. the
Quartermaster Department has an
nounced that Inconvenience and
lack of uniforms for the drafted
men will be only temporary. and
that the outftting of 1000. 900
fighters Is going ahead as fast as
the industries of the country can
be expanded to meet the stupendous
demands.
For the first year after the en-
try OF the United States into the
conflict, $4,000. .000,0 will be spent
by the quartermaster branch, for
feeding. clothing and furnishing
accommodations for 100000 SOL
diers. larger force than the
'peace-time" army of any democ-
racy. Many United States soldiers
will find themselves for a time af-
ter reaching camps in the same
predicament that faced the Eng
lish and other nations which had
not kept large standing armies
that Of having to wear parts Of
civilian attire while waiting for
military equipment.
With every hundred men sent
over" a reserve supply with such
items as 500 pairs OF socks is car
ried along. together with a hundred
blankets, and $50 pairs of trousers.
Uncle Sam presents each enlisted
man with a campaign hat" two
coats, two pairs of trousers and of
shoes. five pairs of socks, two
blankets, and three in winter, not
to mention other necessities as
belt, gloves. underwear, etc. Some
conception OF the unprecedented
in this country in supplying these
needs can be gained by multiplying
these figures by 100000. which
will be required of each item.
Chief shortages of material at
present are in wool. duck for tents
and leggings, fast dyes for uni
forms. and in labor for making all
OF these items. An order from the
qpartermaster department for 50.-
100000 yards OF tentage was held
up until the industry could en-
large its normal capacity of 2O.-
100000 yards year to meet the
demand.
The committee on public in
formation has stated that the sit
uation at the training centers in
regard to equipment is very satisfac-
tory. This blanket statement also
covers the commissary supplies of
Gen. Pershing's force In France.

Editorial

If you were to ask a hun
dred prominent men for a
rule for success the chanc-
es are that you would
have about 90 different
ones. What makes a sue
cess of one man will make
a failure of another.
Hundreds of customers have
mentioned this, that and
the other thing as-what
they considered-the rea-
son for our success.
And all of them are right.
There is perhaps no one
quality a store can pos
scss that will attract peo-
pie of all temperaments.
There must be a happy
coordination of many
things-the right things.
Our storekeeping of almost
sixty years has helped us
wonderfully in bringing
together those ideas and
ideals that will make our
patrons most loyal and
most satisfied with their
| store home.

ces;s and profits of marketing at
centralized markets and also ut To-
cal markets.
The government is now issuing
market reports on livestock and
meats, the nearest office to the ba-
sin being located at Kansas City. The
federal government plans to extend
this market news service to cover
other items Of Importance to the pro-
ducers.
Dairy products will be studied from
standpoint of increasing the use Of
home products, together with the es-
enlistment in locations which will
supply the necessary material, OF
creameries, cheese factories, conden-
saries, which will utilize the products
Of the basin dairy cows and eliminate
all Unnecessary freight. Various
methods of marketing and distribut-
ing dairy products as now practices
will be taken into consideration and
the relative efficiency of these meth
ods will be compared. Reference will
be made to milk testing, record keep
ing, cow testing and cow testing as
sociations. Storage facilities for
dairy products will be looked into, and
an increase in the number Of storage
establishments in the basin should
aid materially toward the consump-
ton of home products.
Among other items of study rela-
tive to poultry and eggs, survey
will be made of the present markets
and the use of local creameries, cold
storage plants, etc, in the handling
of these products. Marketing by par
eel post will be outlined and it may
be possible to increase the produc-
ton of poultry and eggs thru this
method. An items, such as the
types of packages and containers now
in use, poultry clubs and egg circles

will be looked after, with the possible
organization of such as may be need
ed in the basin.

ploye started to ford the river, there
by shortening the distance home to
dinner. The high water carried their
team and wagon down stream and
threw both of them into the rneing
stream. According to mcagro reports
from the valley, Thompson, by great
exereion, succeeded in swimming to
safety. When he reached the shore
he sighted his companion struggling
in the water and swan to his res
cue. After continued effort he sue
ceeded in bringing the body to tho
shore but it proved too late.
Thompson gave the alarm and men
labored for nearly three hours to.
resucitate the body. A Durango phys
sician was called to aid in the eff
fort. but without success. About
8 o'clock this afternoon they recog-
nized there was no hope and Act

moving this the young men were
working on the opposite side of the
river from home. They made the
trip around by the bridge, but on their
return took the shorter route, regard
less Of the danger.
The tragedy marks almost to day
I the second anniversary of an accident
which occurred in the valley a few
miles from the spot, when two boys
lost their lives in the stream One

Mrs. Farrell Passes Away

After two weeks acute suffering.
preceded by many years of physical
torment, and continuous struggle
against i'll health, Mrs. Della NJ. Far
rell, the beloved wife of John Far
rel, at 8 o'clock this morning laid
down her burden and peacefully cross
ed the river to that unknown shore
from whence no mortal ere returns.
Mrs. Farrell, suffering a relapse,
was brought TO town and placed in
the Ochsner hospital two weeks ago.
Her condition suddenly becoming
acute, day before yesterday, her hus-
band came to her bedside at once,
and was with her until the end
In 1888, "a years ago, John and
Della Farrell came to Durango from
Denver, where they had b zen mar
iied the year before. Johnny was
meat cutter, with nothing in the
world but big stout heart, and a
wife well suited to be his help mate.
Della Farrell was girl of 1S, gifted
by the goddess Of beauty, as are but
few women upon this mortal coil.
Nor was her beauty alone that of
appearance, her heart of pure gold
was accompanied by vivacity and
eheerfulness of disposition that meant
sunshine in the darkest night.
The Upper Pine river was wilder
ness when the Farrells went out
there to get next to nature. and to
hew something beautiful out Of the
rough. How well they have succeed
d everybody knows. The Farrell
ranch which has just been sold is
one Of the really great ranches of
Colorado, but perhaps few have paus-
ed to think of the amount of heart
and soul, of energy and determination
and perseverance, that John and Del
Farrell put in that beautiful
monument on the Pine, that oasis
where stranger or friend was always
cam and his dog could always "turr
in" and be fed.
Johnny Farrells beautiful young
lower wilted under the strain years
ago, and but for the loving care and
companionship of her devoted husband
would never have lived to see her
dreams OF creation upon the farm
naterialize, tho even in the darkes,
hours, the sunshine of her disposition
vas what kept John at the wheel.
Her work is done, her dreams have
become realities, the Angel of Deatf
can only relieve the suffering that
she has so long uncomplainingly en-
lured.
Mrs Farrell was born in Atchison
Kansas, August 10, 1866. besides hel
husband, she is survived by her age
father and mother, two uncles, VIII
are living at Antonito, an aunt, Mrs
| Molly Banks and a cousin, Mis-
Naude Banks, both of Atchison
Kansas, and other more distant rela
tives.
The body is being prepared 70
burial by Ames and Bradford.
Funeral services will be held fror
st. Columba's church tomorrow morr
ing at 9:30 a. m. Father White off
ciating.
In expressing the sympathy Of tn
entire community, it is well to carr,
the consoling thought, that she mad
the world better by tarrying her
awhile, and now has gone to her re
ward.
