MEADE EXPECTS
BIG CROWDS OF
XMAS VISITORS

CAMP MEADE. Dec. :0.-There
will be a glorious Christmas here for
every man Of the 1900. The 5 per
cent going home will cut no figure
worth mentioning in connection with
the camp festivities.
All arrangements are being made
by the Y. N. e. A, the knights OF
Columbus, and the Red Cross for tre-
mendous crowds. How the crowds
expected will get here is something
of a mystery. A bit of surprise, no
doubt, but II is true that almost every
man is expecting somebody to pay
him a visit.
The welfare agencies here at camp
are planning 70 surpass all past 'ef-
forts in entertaining the soldiers.
The women OF Baltimore. Washing
ton, and other cities are turning to
the camp 10 find a real labor OF love
in planning surprises for the men.
Many women who have sons and
brothers OF near the front in France
or at more distant camps are swamp
ing the camp with requests that sol
diers be allowed 10 be their guests
Tor Christmas dinner.
Practically every door in Maryland
+ wide open for soldier guest. Au-
tOmobilcs viii be sent 70 get them.
and they VIII be returned at any
hour set. All that is beautiful. buI
It cannot b" done al least on no eS-
iensivc. scale.
The FOLKS from home will be al
lowed 10 ,Dmc to see the soldier. and
even iI he IS quarantined they will
be allowed 10 give him goodies or to
smile at hm through a germproof
window pane.

President Wilson has upon his desk
today the request OF the Retail Mer-
chants Association that he appoint
freight dictator for Washington who
shall have wide authority TO untalsle
the freight congestion and remove en-
baFEoes that threaten both Government
activities and the business life OF this
city.
r. P. Andrews, president Of the Retail
Merchants Association. is hopeful that
the President viii give a favorable
ansSser to the request, despite the opln-i
ion in some quarters that the President
does not have authority to do this.

war acts TO take over all the railroads

Tommy Rooney Breaks Hip

Tommy Rooney, 70 years of age and
a pioneer of this part of Colorado, fell
in getting thru a fence Wednesday
afternoon and broke his left hip. He
has lived at his place three miles north
west of Keota for a number of years.
Just before the accident he had seen a
rabbit, and started out to shoot it. His
foot caught in the fence, throwing him
and breaking the bone. He lay there
for perhaps two or three hours, and
altho several automobilists and others
passed he was unable to attract their
attention, but was found by William
Barnes. who had gotten mail for him
in Keota and stopped to deliver it. DR..
Olson was called, and advised that he
be taken to q Cheyenne hospital for
treatment. This was done on Thurs
day, w. A. Rhoadarmer and others TAX
ing him there by automobile. At his
age such an accident cannot help but be
serious, but hope for his recovery is
still held.

Grange Installs Officers

State Grange Master John Morris,
of Golden, presided at the meeting of
Keota Grange No. 247, in Keota Tues
day evening, and installed the officers
elected to serve during 1917. Miss Veda
Scott acted as assistant, to introduce
the officers to the Worthy State Mas
ter, and to conduct them to their vari-
GUS stations after the charges were
given them. Previous to the installa-
ton large class of new members were
initiated. About $50 local and visiting
grange members were present, the at
tendance being the greatest ever had
at closed meeting of the grange in
Keota. At the close of the grange
work the ladies of the order spread an
appstizing supper of sandwiches, coffee,
cake, pie, salad and pickles.
The Keota grange is now the banner
grange of Weld county in point Of men,
bership, and new applications are being
constantly received. In his talk at the
close Of the meeting, State Master
Morris emphasized the social value
which grange organization may have
in community, as of greater impor-
tance even than the money value which
it may have for its members.

five per cent dividends and one twelve
per cent dividend have been declared,
and u surplus fund of $500 has been set
aside. The growth of business has
been constant, and has exceeded the
most sanguine hopes of the organizers.
This growth is clearly shown by con-
trasting the report Of condition pub
lished at close of business December 81,
1915, with that for December 27, 1916.
Loans and discounts amounting then to
$28, ,26l.1 ID, have reached $50, ,26l. 33;

grown from S35. 487. 70 to $40, 314.03.
