Regular military drill every
school day except Saturday is
now in force at the School of
Mines, under direction of regu-
lar army officers from Rifle
Range. 1t was at first planned
to have military drill at the Gold
en- school only twice each week,
but it was decided that inasmuch
as the end Of the school year is
only five weeks distant, the boys
could not gain much military
knowledge by drilling only two
times a week. In order to make
time for the drill period, all the
lecture hours have been cut ten
minutes, allowing the last period
in the forenoon for drilling. The
students are taking a keen in

War With Germany to
Be long One Says Hughes

The war between this country
and Germany is to be a long one.
That IS the word brought from
Washington by Gerald Hughes
representative for Governor
Gunter who has Just returned to
make his report to the state s
chief executive after attending
the council for national defense
called by President Wilson.
That the natiou is at war with
an enemy not easily to be over
come and that this country must
enter into the conflict, not with
the feeling that victory is as good
as won but more with a knowledge
that 1t must be won, are the opin-
ions expressed by Mr.. Hughes.
A year Of war is the least hope of
those who have really given the
subject thoughtful attention"
declared Mr.. Hughes.
"At the conferenc we were told
that We must prepare to make
every necessary sacrifice to insure
the success Of this war. The SOON
er we rSaljze the seriousness of
the thing, the better it will be for
us all. I"
Mr. Hughes declared that in the

While many did not approve of
Theodore Roosevelt's war policy
before this nation was drawn in
to the conflict there are many
who now believe that he could be
of invaluable assistance to the
nation if the congress would con-
sent to the amendment allowing
him to raise a volunteer army
army and lead them in Europe.
1t takes man of his physical
makeup and his enthusiasm to a.
rouse the American people and
make them see what the danger
is and what their individual re-
sponsibility is. Mr.. Roosevelt
has laid aside his politics and Of
fered his services to President
Wilson and to the nation, IL is
now time that politics, if that is
what is trying to suppress the
colonel, be brushed aside, and
that he be taken at his face values
We say give him an army and
let it be as big as he wants to
make it,

Thrifty Housewife
Renders Biz Service

In many little economies which
can be practiced in the kitchen.
the women Of this country can do
much to help make food available
feed the largest number of
mouths.
Economy in cooking means the
best possible utilization of every
article of food with due reference
to the relative Importance of labor
and fuel expended.
Every meal should contain a
suitable quantity of each Of the
elements needed for the human
body. If there is too much OF one
substance and not enough of
another, the highest economy of
food preparation has been missed.
For example, macaroni followed
by rice dessert
The high price of meat should
start the housewife thinking "a
bout the variety of ways the
cheaper and tougher pieces of
meat may be prepared to be fully
as nutritious and with proper
seasoning and garnishing, as pa
latable as the more expensive
cuts. Meat substitutes should be
considered. Beans and peas es-
pecially belong to this class. A
dish of old fashioned baked beans
to which a small peice Of pork
has been added will meet the
actual requirements of the family
so far as the nutrition of one
meal is concerned.
Meat also may be economical
by being utilized as a basis of a
dish composed mostly of other in
gradients such as meat pie,
hash, "dumplings", Ham bone
with boiled bean dinner, soup,
etc.
The cooking of vegetables is no
less important than of meat. Po
tatoes especially may nave their
rutritive qualities conserved by
proper handling. Tops o: beets,
ETC.. may be cooked, seasoned
and served as greens.
Take an invoice of the garbage
can and find out just how many
left-overs such as cereals, stale
bread, vegetables, ETC.. you are
wasting which might be utilized
in mush pancakes. puddings,
cream soups. Check your refrlg-
orator and cupboard shelves ev-
cry day for bits of left over foods
Make saving rather than vast
ing your home standard. - Mir
lam M. Haynes, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins
Colorado,
Just now. when the country is
calling the young men to fight
and calling those who cannot fight
to help produce food, the patriot,
housewife is wandering how sh,
can help. In no way can she render
a greater service to her country
than in helping conserve the food

from the depths. Love had made him
the apostle of the people of the will
derness and he had knit their hearts to
his with bands of humble ministry. He
had never before addressed so large an
audience as this. Sunday after Sun
day, the ten or twelve who made up
his little Calvinistic flock, lacking a
church building, gathered In the homes
of his elders, Henry Rice and James
Armstrong; the foundations of Goshen
chapel had been scarcely planned; but
today he found a hundred men and
women watching him, expectant of
spiritual comfort. No one appreciated
better than he the sufferings. the be-
reavements through which they had
passed. In his meek and heroic spirit
he thanked God for the high honor be-
slowed upon him, that to him should
be given the words to address so great
company. In voice that rang
with prophecy, he read aloud that
thrilling call which concludes the four
teenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke;
and as he lifted his eyes from the
book, he found resting on him the clear
steady gaze of the threescore back
woodsmen.
Il am going to speak to you about

quality Of soul which enables you to
hang on to the thing you have begun

grew tender he seemed to be speaking
to himself or to some vision which the
wretched figure kneeling at his feet
could not see.

went on. 81 would have thanked you
for ending 1t, as you ended the love
of the one l loved most in the world.

A cold and dreary rain was still fall

tavern door on the upturned face of the

for q moment and then laughed. The
| dreadful features were twisted into a
smile as to ultimate victory, and a
little rivulet of rain trickled unceas-
ingly from the corner of the mouth.
No more of wretched life; no more of
firewater!
David's hand stole unconsciously to
the pistol that hung heavily within the
folds of his own blouse. His fingers
tightened on 1t and his lips drew to-
