Great Crow|
Of People

The great problem confronting the public speak
er the amusement promoter, the politician seeking
office, and the business man, is just this:
"How can we effectualy reach psople-great
crowds of people-withOut expend;ag enormous
sums?
'What can we do to assure hearing-or read
ing-of our message by large audiences and not pay
too dearly for the privilege?"
The degree of success reached by the speaker,
the promoter, the politicians, the business man, de-
pends very largely how much he knows of the art
of reaching many people without overspending.

Employ Women Chemists

For the first time since the
Great Western Sugar Company has
been operating in Colorado, women
are to be employed as chemists in
the laboratories of the Greeley fac
tory. This innovation is to be
tried out this year at the sugges-
tion of G. w. Atkinson. chief
chemist at the Greeley factory. The
experiment Of employing women as
chemists is being adopted as a war
measure to Offset the labor short
age which the northern Colorado
sugar factories anticipate this year.
In order to comply with the eight
hour law affecting women workers.
the laboratories will be run on eight
hour shifts instead OF twelvehour
shifts as heretofore followed Sugar

GROWING WINTER WHEAT ON
THE GREAT PLAINS
Soil Moisture At Seeding Time Is
The Most Important Factor For
Successful Crops.

In the campaign for increased
wheat production, the United
States Department of Agriculture
is calling particular attention to
the desirability of winter wheat in
the great Plains region, yet advises
against planting when lack Of
soil moisture at seeding time is
practically certain to mean no crop.
Under such circumstances it may
be better to wait and SOW spring
wheat. The production of winter
wheat under dry-farming conditions
says the Department, is likely to be
stimulated in the Great Plains
area, by present and prospective
prices and by plans now under way
to increase the crop as a patriotic
effort to meet the necessities of war
conditions. The soils of the plains
are generally fch; fertilizers are
not used and this makes agricul-
ture in this section independent OF
the wartime fertilizer situation.
Brief suggestions for winter
wheat growing under dry-farming
conditions are given in Farmers
Bulletin 1896. ."Growing Winter
Wheat on the Great Plains" which
will be sent free on application to
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. These suggestions are
based on extensive experiments in
the Great Plains States. The bul.
letin discusses varieties, the rate
and time of seeding, the place of
Winter-wheat in the agriculture OF
OF the region, and cultural methods
for each of the nine dry-farming
States of the Great Plains region,
The results of these experiments
will be treated more comprehensive.

published shortly.

Experience The Best Teacher

1t is generally admitted that ex-
perience is the best teacher, but
should we not make use OF the ex-
perience OF Others as well as our
own? The experience of a thous-
and persons is more to be depended
upon than that of one individual.
Many thousands of persons have
used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
for coughs and colds with the best
results, which shows it to be a
thoroughly reliable preparation for
those diseases. Try it. It is
prompt and effectual and pleasant
to take.

Secretary Bakers Review Con-
tains Warning.
Greatest German Army Massed In
West-American Aid Needed BY
Allies to Meet Menace.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Germany has
massed on the western front her great
est army of the war; Secretary Baker
declares in his weekly war review,
just made public
To meet this menace the United
States must speed up its military pre-
parations. the secretary adds, with a
warning that the enemy is preparing
to put into execution in France plans
he has been maturing since the defeat
of the Russian armies at Tannenberg
early in the war.
Massino In West Permitted.
Peace negotiations with Russia
have permitted the massing of men on
the western front for that purpose
"A united nation must stand square
ly behind our soldiers" the secretary
says. ut is not sufficient to prepare
to fight, we must prepare to win"
American Engineers Praised.
The review asserts the German
counter-offensive on the Cambrai front
has been successful in winning back
less than one-third of the territory
captured by General Byng The state
ment also notes that American engin
eer troops, exchanged shovels fol-
rifles, fought off the enemy side by
side with the British"

Government Asks Supreme Court te
Dismiss Case.

Washington, Dec. lin a brief
just made public asking the supreme
court to dismiss cases attacking the
constitutionality OF the selective
draft law, the government asserts
that power conferred upon Congress
to declare war carries with it author
ity to compel military service either
at home or abroad. Compulsory draft
is declared to have been q normal
method of raising armies ever since
this government was established the
legality OF which has been repeatedly
upneld by the courts. The situation
in Russia Is pointed to without men
tioning the name, as a demonstration
that there can with safety be no alb
solute freedom in civilized societies,
IF the argument against this law
upon constitutional grounds be not
frivolous" says the brief, then the
adjective has lost its legal signifi-
cance"
The cases now before the court
include nine appeals from Minnesota,
Georgia and Ohio, in which persons
were convicted Of either failing to
register on June 8, or of attempting
to block operations of the act by
urging others of draft age not to
comply with it.

DEATH TOLL GROWING
1000 Killed In Halifax Blast BY
Latest Estimates.
Snow6rifts Three Feet Deep Add to
Difficulty of Relief Work-City
Still Dazed.

Halifax, n. s., Dec. IL "A new es-
innate by the superintendent of
morgues, whose duty it is 10 assemble
and expose for identification, if pos
sible, the bodies of those who perished
by shock or fire when the ammunition
ship Mont Blanc blew up in the har-
Dor here, places the number of dead
at $4,000.
1000 Bodies Recovered
His estimate that startled even
those who had lived through the last
few days of horror was based upon
the records of his district assistants.
who reported a total of 1000 bodies
recovered. They have figured on a
certain number for a prescribed area.
There appears to be no other way of
determining the loss. Hundreds, per
haps thousands, of bodies have been
consumed by the flames and in scores
of cases not only whole families but
whole neighborhoods have been wiped
out and the names of all these dead
may never be known.
Dredging parties working under di-
rection of naval authorities dragged
ashore 200 bodies of sailors, soldiers
and laborers recovered from the bot
tom of the harbor. Another searching
squad reported having found 40 bodies
in the hulk of the Norwegian steamer
limo which collided with the Mont
Blanc.
But the outstanding fact that has
been faced by the local authorities
with a courage that challenges the ad.
miration of their kinsmen from south
of the border, is that 10000 persons
are destitute and of the number per,
haps one out of seven is suffering
from injuries, which in many cases
are bound to prove fatal

ciated Press yesterday went over a

With Help of British and French

Enemy 0nslaughtS.
FOE HORDE HELD BACK
Austrian and German Guns In Heavy
Bombardment Are Answered Gun
for Gun-German Thrust At
Verdun Held.

London, Dec. 1.-THE brilliant
stand the Italians have made in
keeping back the rush of Austro-
German forces from the Asiago pla-
teau region TO the plains of Northern
Italy, is of equal interest with the
lew revolt in Russia.
Although the enemy had bent back
the line of the defenders to a point
where il seemed that it must give
way, the Italians reinforced by Brit
ish and French troops, have stemmed
the tide of onslaughts.
Austrian and Germans guns are still
heavily bombarding various points
along Che front between the Piave and
Brenta rivers but they are being
answered almost shot for shot. From
the sides of the passes they are hold
ing the Italians have rolled down
stones upon the enemy on many oc-
casions as they tried to make their
way southwark toward the plain.
In the Verdun sector the Germans
have made another attempt to pierce
the French line in the region of Be-
Zonveaux, but were repulsed and suf-
fered considerable casualties.

his main design of breaking throue
to the Brenta valley and the plain
few miles below, although he sue
ceeded in advancing his lines a shors
distance when the Italians fell back
to new positions.
These positions, guarding the Fran
zella and Gadena passes, have success
fully resisted all enemy efforts, and
the Italians on the steep heights on
each side of the passes rain down ar
llery and rife fire and release huge
oul6ers every time the enemy forces

Only A of 110 or more officers and

Additional information received
