BEWARE OF RuMoRs

Nail q rumor when you hear It.
There are scores Of war rumors now
in circulation In Colorado. And they
seem TO come 6rom some common
mandatory, probably the nest Of q
German sympathizer. Absurd, reports
are constantly coming to the Colo
RADIO Council of Defense.
> It is the German way Of doing
things. By lies the German agents
would like to confuse and to frighten
the people Of Colorado and of the
nation. AS the result the food ad-
ministraticn has to deny the ridic-
ulous report that 1t intends to con-
fiscate the housewives stores of
canned goods, something 1t has no
power to do and would not do.
When a person repeats a rumor,
ask his name and the name of the
man who told him. Trace It down.
Get the addresses of those really res
ponsible. Malicious gossips will keep
still when hunted down.

GoUGING COAL CONSUMERS
(By Congressman Keating)

(By Congressman Keating)
On the theory that misery likes
company" Coloradoans may be inter
ested to know that Washington
newspaper within the last week sent
its reporters to scores of coal deal
ers and Offered as high as $40 for
a ton Of coal without being able to
get a "taker.'
The great West Virginia and Penn
sylvania coal fields are within easy
hauling distance of the nations cap
itcl and coal should be very cheap
here.
No one has offered a satisfactory
explanation CT the situation. The
story of the reporters experience has
served to stir up the Federal Fuel
Administrator and relief is promised.
l have placed the Colorado coal
situation before the Washington au-
thorities and have urged that the
price to consumers be reduced $3.50
ton. This result could be brought
about by cutting the price of lump
coal at the mines and reducing the
margin of profit allowed the retail
ers. The Fuel Administrator has as
sured me that an early investigation
would be made.

We all had a great time at the

We we're served a delightful luncheon
and never thot of going home until
the wee small hours OF the morning.
In the course of the evening Marion

ALL CAN HELP FINANCIALLY
THROUGH THIS SCHEME

The campaign TO sell $4,000, 600 900
war savings certificates has begun !;
1t is the ambition of the authorities
at Washington to place these certifi-
Gates eventually in 10000 900 Amer
lean homes.
Perhaps the reason for this has
not up to the present time been
made altogether clear. A successful
sale CT the certificates, it has been
announced, will postpone the offer
ing of the third Liberty loan. That
is Important. But more important by
far, a successful sale will reflect the
american public's recognition of the
vital part that economy and saving,
even of the smallest amount, will
play in bringing victory out of our
war with Germany.
This war will not be won with
money. 1t will be won with men and
material. and, as we see it, that
must be the lesson of the war saw.
ings certificates. Each 25-cent thrift
stamp bought in the United States
will represent more than a silver
quarter subscribed to war; loan. 1t
will symbolic a quarter diverted
from some unnecessary purpose to
the aM-important and vitality neces-
sary purpose of Supplying our soldier
and sailors with the material for the
prosecution of the war.
Never before were economy and
saving 80 necessary. A wasteful and
thriftless people cannot win a war;
hence. until victory is obtained, the
American people must be made to
see the essential need of making sac
rfices, however small, for the nation.
The war savings certificates will
serve to measure those sacrifices,
down even to twenty-five cents.
These war stamrs may be pur-
chased frcm any postofface or bank.
