NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
DO?

The United States is at war; you are
an American citizen; what are you
going to do?
The advice as to service is being
sent out to all classes of our citizens.
The first and most definite demands
for service have come to the farmers
of our section, and others. The battle
in Europe may be settled upon the
food-felds in our own state, upon your
farm and others in this county.
i Months ago we predicted that the
war would not end because of a de-
ficiency in men, money, or munitions.
The need for these items may be
greater now than then, but when the
war ends you will find large armies on
both sides, large munitions stores, and
much inflated credit ready for use if
needed. But, the supply of food has
proven to be the great factor in this
war-something to eat for every man,
woman and child.
The lack of food has already precip-
itated the overthrow of the reaction
airy car of Russia. The absence of
incoming food has done more than
anything else to weaken the German
alliance. The absence of food supply
by the work of the hostile submarines
guarding the British isles would force
peace upon the world within month.
Therefore, our government has sought
out the ways in which we can insure
food for our people, and for our allies.
knowing that in this way the United
States is best serving the common
purpose.
The farmer in this country who
reads these lines must not depend up
on somebody else to raise the food. He
must not wait to see if the food sup
ply will be sufficient without his acre
age. He must for the sake of his gov
eminent and nation plant food crops
now in much increased proportions to
anything that he has ever done before.
1t is his patriotic duty and we feel
sure he will answer the call.
We believe, however, that the farm
ers will cooperate. We believe that
when the government excuses them
from military duty in order that thev
can raise food crops, they will raise
food crops in a large proportion. We
believe that they realize that they can
serve their nation in just as essential
work on the farm as on the battlefield.

COOPERATE FOR HEALTH.
(IYritten for this Paper by Henri,
Radcliffe.)

More important than the gold re-
serve in our banks is the health of
our people.
From an individual standpoint,
strength and freedom from disease is
a priceless treasure, as much as we
decrv it because of it's familiarity.
The tubercular man or woman, the
blind or the manned, or the sick in any
way. would give everything save life
itself to regain the condition he or she
had previous to disability.
If you were suddenly stricken down
with a lingering disease, even though
it were painless, you would give what
property you had to turn back the
scroll of time far enough to take pre-
ventive measures.
If one of your loved ones-a wife,
or child, for example-were to take
sick tomorrow and die because of your
neglect and you knew it, you'd never
breathe moments air without the
everlasting presence of your hearts
sit might have been" otherwise.
Your health and that of your loved
ones, is next to the souls salvation,
the most vital problem and the most
touching concern in your existence and
theirs. 1t means happiness or despair,
Joy or gloom, comfort or pain, rest or
WEAKNESS, life or death. Yet, withal,
what have you done to insure good
health? What responsibility rests up
on you for the premature death Of
somebody, maybe yourself?
We have often pondered on the Grim
.inal neglect OF our generation.
y Others have thought deeply concern

For Humanity.
Our Loyal Legions sing no Hymn of
Hate,
AS to the flaming battlefield they go
To meet in mortal strife the savage
foe
Who seeks to undermine our Ship of
State.
We do uphold the dauntless hands of
Fate
In dealing now this blood-avenging
blow
For wrongs the world was forced to
undergo
The lust of Prussian lords to satiate.
The starving babes of foully ravished
lands
Have caught our heart-strings and
have drawn us near;
Their bleeding fathers have inquired:
"Where stands
Our one time brother?" We have
answered: "Here! l.
To strive for right with all our
strength-to give
Our lives, if need be, that the world
may live"
AS between Utopia and the millen-
MUM, we would choose Utopia for
present uses. Humanity is hardly far
enough advanced to enjoy the millen-
mum just now. Perhaps a period of
life under an ideal earthly government
would be helpful as a preparatory
course. Failing Utopia, we would pre-
fer to die, as man has done heretofore,
and, after a period of rest from earth
ly cares, come back refreshed to enter
the millennium, rather than have it
come upon us in the midst of our pres
ent affairs.
The attention of the S. P. C. A. is
respectfully directed to the nation
wide movement looking toward the ex-
tinction of the green monkey. Can it
be- that the persecution of this little
companion of our revels stirs no heart
to sympathy?

Old Centennial To
Be Rehabilitated

Eastern stockholders of the
Kennedy Gold Mining and Mill
ing company We're making thoro
investigation OF their holdings
during the past week with view
to rehabilitating the old Centen-
nial mine at Georgetown. The
property consists of nine lode
claims and is situated adjoining
Georgetown on the south, the main
workings being within the town
limits.
The main shaft has been sunk
to depth of $50 feet with levels
run northeast and southwest from
600 to $50 feet. The entire de-
velopment shows continuous ore
bodies varying from a foot to 30
inches from grass roots down to
the 5OO-foot leyel, thus showing a
greater ore reserve than probably
any mine in the state.
The mine, which is only in its
infancy as producer, is credited
by actual mill returns wi h
production of over $5OO,OOO.
The values in gold, silver and
copper, with some lead, vary be-
tween $50 and 500 per ton.
With the building of an up-to-
date mill and the installation of a
new hosting plant and pumps, a
large working force can be employ
ed and a production Of over 200
tons daily can be maintained in

Clear Creek county can boast of,

Of development meterialize. The
scarcity of men, which is being
felt all over the county, seems to
be the only draw back, but it is
hoped that in the near future this
difficulty will be obliterated, and
that plenty of mining men will
be available for the numerous
mines now requiring larger forces.

toner's have been sitting as board
of equalization all week and have
almost finished their labors.

handsomely. Albert Hanson at
present has the most promising
lease in the mine. ..
