WOULD BE LESSON
IN PATRIOTISM
Surprise Felt That Elihu
Root Is So Quickly
Returned

Washington, d. c., Aug J0.-Charle:
Edward Russell's suggestion that the
United States send troops to the eastern
front, while made by the Socialist mem,
Der and not emphasized by other mem
bers of the Root mission, nevertheless
is finding a sympathetic echo among
practical army officers, who long have
believed that the United States has a
peculiar opportunity for service to Rus
STA, which does not exist in as great
degree with respect to any of the other
allied beligerents. Difficulties of trans
portation to the eastern front from
China or Vladivostok would be great, but
not impossible. The value to Russia,
however, would not lie in the man power
which the United States could contribute
to the Russian army, but rather in the
object lesson of international patriotism
which the American soldiers would ex-
emplify.
Russia looks to the United States for
all she hopes to be, and American troops
on the Russian front would set an ex
ample to the armies of the provisional
government whose value could not be
over. emphasized. In this connection, il
may be pointed out that great surprise
has been expressed in Washington that
the Root mission should have returned
to this country so soon. Its work clear
ly is in Russia, in the opinion of men
familiar with that country, and Amer
lean advisers to the Russian government,
they say, should remain abroad for u
long time if results commensurate with
the necessities of the situation are to be
obtained.

GERMANY NOW SEES PERIL.
America Needs Only Time to Become an
Immense Factor in War in 1918.

New York, Aug. l0.--Under the head

''But what is incomprehensible is that

everything, began by speaking of the
Americans in a tone of superiority,
"The tone already has changed. To.
day there are few left in Germany who
hold to the view that America as fac

beginning to believe it can be done.

Wheat.

The planting of approximately Al
337 900 acres to winter wheat, on the
basis of the average yield for the past
10 years indicates total production of
672,000,000 bushels. II the extremely fla
vofable conditions under which the win
ter wheat crop of 1914 was grown are
again experienced, the yield of winter
wheat next year will be 100000 900 bush
els or by far the largest winter wheat
crop ever produced and even larger than
the total of both winter and spring wheat
crops for all past years except two.
1t is too early to determine the area
which should be sown to wheat next
spring, but If this is equal to that sown
in the spring Of 1917, or 100000 acres,
and the yield is up to the average of the
last 10 years, a crop of PSI 100000 bush
els of spring wheat will be harvested,
and if the yield per acre should equal
that obtained in 1915 the crop viii be
35o000000 bushels, the same as the
greatest spring wheat crop ever produced.
Thus, with no increase in the spring

ings planned for this fall, the total wheat
crop next year viii be more than 1000,
100000 bushels, if the crop meets with
slightly better than l0-year average con-
iitions With extremely favorable con-
iitions, such as were experienced by the
winter wheat crop in 1914 and the spring
wheat crop in 1915, the total yield would
amount TO l,250.000.O0O bushels. A l0I

with favorable growing condition. would

The Rev. Don Frank Fem, Vicar

There will be the usual service
at 11:OO a. M. on Sunday. The
third session of the Sunday School
will be held at 2:l5 p. m. regular
ly. There will be a celebration of
the Holy Communion on Thurs
day mornings. The week of July
lst, the service will be held Thurs
day at 1870 a. m. This is for the
benefit of those who cannot come
at the earlier hour Do not forget
choir rehearsal which is every
Wednesday at 100 p. IN.
The services are being much
improved in Calvary church. With
the addition of the choir, who lead
the congregation in singing, we
find the service enriched and
beautifed. The congregations
are much improved and it is the
hope of the Vicar that more and
more people will learn to come
regularly each Sunday at the ap-
pointed time. 1t is only faithful
ness by the few whose duty it is
to worship in this church, which
will bring about an enlargement
of the sphere of our work and
ultimate hope of success. There
is a great encouragement and
spirit of enthusiasm which is only
engendered by numbers. This we
have found since the new Vicar
has taken charge. Let it be in
creased and there will be no limit
to the possibilities of the church
work in Idaho Springs

This is day of conservation of

a few years back, our national
government, seeing with much
concern the great demand for the
cultivation of more land, due in a
large extent to a fast increasing
population and a sequ g n t
migration to the western part of
our country, succeeded in reclaim
ing a great part of what hitherto
had been considered waste and
desert, into some of the most pro-
ductive land in the United States.
In this great world conflict, in
which we are to take an active part,
our government has requested us
to help in the conservation of our
food supply. We have greatly
profted through the failure of
other nations in this respecteand
do not wish to pass through the
STEERING and want of Belgium
and other similarly :unprepared
countries. If this great under
taking shall become a success,
we must all do our part. Waste
