ASSIGNS DRAFT QUOTAS
MASTER LISTS AND REGULA-
TIoNs SENT OUT.
Exemption Board Machinery Set In
Motion by Governor Gunter for
States conscription.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-The machinery of the se-
lective and exemption boards for the
drafting of Colorado's quota of the ma
tional army has been set in notion
according to statement issued by
Provost Marshal John Evans.
The master lists and regulations
have been sent out as received from
Washington and Gov. Julius G,
Gunter has made assignment to
the seventy-five exemption boards
throughout the state the quota ex-
pected to be raised by the respective
counties.
The State Utilities Board has re-
ceived letter from the special COM
mittee on national defense at Wash
ington outlining number of sugges-
tions to the railroad companies OF the
state regarding the carrying out OF
the draft regulations affecting rail-
road employees subject to draft.
1t is suggested the railroads make
r. complete list of all those who can
be spared from active railroad service
whose places can be taken by mex
perienced men or by women. Lists
and affidavits are also requested to
be furnished showing those whom the
railroad companies think should be
relieved from war duty as their serv-
ices being necessary for the operation
of troop and supply trains and other
duties assisting the public defense
act of the nation.

lecture" said Judge Advocate Frank
West, "as to the percentages that
will be shown by the first reports or
the local boards of the probable re-
lection to be expected among the hun
dred thousand registrants of Colorado
for physical reasons or for depend
ents. A probable rejection of one in
every four is figured on account of
physical disability. In some localities
his will greatly vary.
1T is rather difficult to figure on
the proposition of dependents or how
many are to be excused as to indus
trial claims and peculiar results will
be brought out in some districts. Ac-
cording to close reasoners the lowest
rejection figures will come from the
wealthy districts of the large cities or
communities of the state, where men
of good incomes live.
1T is figured that the sons of such
men have had better food, care and
surroundings than the miners, factory
hands or beet field workers, and the
former should necessarily be in bet
ter physical condition"

blown off and considerable damage
was done to the storeroom. The
thieves first broke into a blacksmith
shop, where they obtained tools.
They left behind them several feet

HOLLAND HAS NOT
FATTENED ON WAR

Dordrecht, Holland, March "a
Holland has not fattened on the war.
1t is true that a few businesses or
persons, such as the farmers, have
made enormous profits Their profits
were highest in the nrst eighteen
months of the war. They declined
towards the end of 1916, and will
presumably sink further in 1917
albeit the agricultural population will
still be prosperous. Apart from the
fisheries, comparatively few other
branches of industry have partici-
pated in the war profits.
On the other hand, the number of
persons who have suffered from the
war conditions is much greater than
those who have profted. Many have
obtained an increase of wages or a
war bonus, but this is not proportion
ate to the increase in the price of
foodstuffs and other goods Factories
will have to be closed owing to lack
of raw materials.
Jewellers and gold and silversmiths
have reaped rich harvests, partly
owing to the fact that the Dutch
farmers, and their womenfolk espe-
cially, are fond of displaying their
prosperity by wearing heavy orna-
ments.

BILE difference in the cash outlay of
food.
Raising few chickens is both easy
and profitable. Eggs now are worth
three cents apiece. One-day old
chicks are worth a minimum price of
ten cents each. A notherly old
biddy sits peacefully upon an egg
for twenty one days and, presto, we
have chick worth ten cents-net
increase of over 200 per cent in
value in three weeks time! The
profits of keeping poultry on small
scale, when maintained largely on
refuse from dining room and kitchen,
are all in proportion. The raising
of poultry on a large scale by the
amateur is admittedly a failure, but
on small scale, utilizing what would
otherwise be wasted, is highly profit
able in proportion to the investment
and work involved.
The production of vegetables, eggs
and poultry in a small way by all
who can do so will Immediately, by
lessening the demand on dealers, tend
to relieve the general situation, to
say nothing of the saving accom-
plished by all who take part in it.
At the same time the farmer and
/ professional trucker need have no
fear that they will not receive fair
and liberal price for their produce
for many months to come.
| Should our country be shortly
plunged into war, thousands of mer
who are now producers will at once
becohe consumers-and soldiers are
"big eaters" They must be vel
fed at all times, even though the
civil population be deprived of many
desirable foods. A condition of wal
would greatly aggravate the present
conditions and an actual shortage Of
food, at any price, might be a pos,
sibility.
Under these conditions and will
possibilities of war or an approach
to it, confronting the nation, the
production of food becomes a patrio'
tic duty. Who can calculate the
value to the United States, in even
of war, of thousands of small gar
dens from which a steady supply o.
food is available for family use
thereby releasing for army and mu
nitions makers the available mar
ket'' supplies Of these commodities
The time would appear to be rip
for the Boy Scouts, ladies clubs ant
civic organizations to start a,"Rais
ing Something to Eat" movement
not only for dealing blow to "higl
prices" but as measure of rea
preparedness"
