Denver.-Colorado will do more
than her bit in the war. 1t Will be
done voluntarily and gladly. and be-
cause she wants to do it. not because
1t is demanded or expected
Colorado's share of the army to be
raised will be one out OF every hun
dred or 10000 of the 1000, 900 men re-
quired by the army. Counting the
National Guard. she has almost
reached half this number now and
total OF more than 100000 men will
be ready under the selective conscrip.
tion system. This is more than four
times the number the state would be
compelled to furnish.
OF the army of women that must
conserve food. take the place OF men
In industry, or go to the front as
nurses. Colorado will furnish 5000.
This will be one-twentieth of the
amount the nation is expecting to
serve, or ten times Colorado's share.
This state is six weeks ahead of any
other state and three weeks ahead OF
the government itself in Its prepared
ness plans. according to Harry Cor
nell. director OF organization for the
ways and means committee OF the
governors war council.
Aside from the men OF military age
who will register. plans are being
made for an army of $4,000 to consist
of boys from Il to 2l years of age
and men from 81 to 55 years OF age
The duties OF this army will be to
guard the homes. raise the crops and
otherwise assist the government and
state in such ways as the President
and the governor shall decide they are
needed.
Each man in the state under 81 and
over 81 years will be given bronze
badge which he is to wear In his lapel
as sign that he has enrolled in the
Industrial army. He will have regis.
tration card on file and will have to
take an oath to support the state and
the nation.
Colorado will harvest a record crop
this year. Wheat and beets will be
as plentiful as ever. The mean crop
will be many times larger than ever
before, both pimentos and navy. Last
year the state had $4,000 acres of
beans. This year there will be 10000
acres under cultivation In nine coun-
ties already reported. Record crops
here are necessary to feed the fight
ers and supply home consumers.
Prices will not go up. but are expect
ed to go down inside OF year.
Colorado's 1.-THE OF the expense of
this war will also be more than her
share Estimating the cost on a per
capita basis, Colorado's share of the
expense would be $70.000.000. She will
assume twice her share. 1t is believed.
Just what the states share of the lib
erty loan will be is probematic, but
the governor believes it will be close
to S25,000,000. The tax on the in
comes in the state and the special
taxes on luxuries, cosmetics. tele-
grams. letters, theater tickets, etc,
will bring the total close to $i40.00O.-
900 within the time 1t will take to fin
ish the war
Every resource of the state" said
Governor j. c. Gunter, will be at the
governments service. The lives of
our people. our mineral wealth, our
crops. our money. our live stock and
everything the country needs will be
ready when called for and frequently
offered in advance"

SCHEURMAN IS GIVEN PARDON
 BY GOVERNOR
(From Sundays Daily)

Henry Schucrman, the pioneer resi- dent of the Oak Creek section of this county, who in August was sentenced to six months in the county jail, has been pardoncd by Governor Campbell and Is now at home on his ranch. The pardon arrived the first of the week and MT. Schuerman was released on Wednesday.
 Schucrman's exemplary conduct and good citizenship during a residence of forty years in Arizona, B of which have been spent on his Oak creek ranch, was the main reason for the governors action. It IS also explain ed in the pardon that two of his sons have been drafted into the National Army and the third is married man, therefore the property of Mir. Schuer- man has been suffering from lack of care. Still another reason was Mir Schucrman's advanced age, 66 years, and the fact that confinement was i'm pairing his health.
 The sentence of Schuerman dated from August 31, and he also paid a fine of $500
 "I'm through Mir. Schuerman as serted. Never more will I trans gross the law, even technically. Gov crnor Campbell will have no reason to regret issuing me this pardon"
 Before Arizona went dry Mir. Schuerman made several barrels oi wine from grapes grown in his own vineyard. Last summer the last two remaining barrels were purchased by a man in Clarkdalc An auto was sent for the liquor and while the machine was cn route back to Clarkdalc ii was held up by an officer Two young men who were in the car were given thirty days apiece but Schucrman got six months and a fine of $500.
 Immediately after his conviction Schucrman's friends began working for his release. Petitions were cir culatcd in Jerome by A. w. Whitak- CT and in Clarkdalc by Charles Will lard, both Of whom secured hundreds of signatures. Eugene NJ. Barron even made trip to Phoenix to see the governor in Schuerman's behalf. and K. x. Frcdcricks, the Prescott bank CT, rendered valuable assistance.

Mike, having been tipped off regarding the raid, made haste to get out of town, and has not been seen since that day. The whisky cap tured was about six or seven years old.
 One of the peculiar circumstances of the raid was the somewhat un- usual manner in which the man had his illicit possessions cached away in various parts of his dwelling house The officers were satisfied that the man had been selling liquor and had decided to make thorough search of the place. Some of the bottles were found buried in the family sugar supply and others were dug out of lllG uOul Dlih Ol lilN booze. however, was found in the eel lar.
