Memorial Day sionifeant.

All memorial days are significant
They are commemorations of great
events, great institutions or great per-
sonalities. Memorial day With us
stands for the perpetual recognition of
slavery emancipated. of warfare
waged and a victory won. and the COM
memoration of wonderful heroism and
great sacrifice. AS we contemplate the
events that lie behind Memorial day
all the services of the week may well
be considered sacred. We pause in the
midst of the helter-skelter, and rush
and fuss of our American life to do
honor to those who were willing to
fight for principle and sacrifice them
selves for the land they loved.

eyes of the other old soldiers who wit
messed the happy reunion.
James Cooper. Haddonfeld, veal
thy merchant of Richmond. Va, waS
the Southerner. while William Gilbert
Haines Of Penn's Grove. N. J.. was
the Union army man.
During the reunion Haipes was re-
lating the story Of the fierce battle at
Fredericksburg. He described hii
leaving the battlefield, scarcely able tc
walk, and told of falling over the ap-
parent lifeless body of Confederate
soldier. The latter seemed to sudden
ly come to life and weakly cried for
water.
While the wartime story was beinl
told Haddonfield arose from his seat
and approached the speaker. He in
spected his features carefully and then
cried out that he was the "reb" whose
life had been saved upon this occasion
by a drink of water from Haines' can
teen. The recognition was mutual, and
the scene that followed was pathetic.
The battlefield scene was vividly re-
called during the silence which attend.
ed this exhibit Of of-brotherly love.
Mr.. Haddonfield then insisted that
the next reunion of Confederate and
Union veterans take place at his home,
and the offer was accepted.

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 1t. 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 100000 men re-
Quired by the army. Counting the
National Guard, she has almost
reached half this number now and a
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 IA to 81 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
and the governor shall decide they are
needed.
Each man in the state under 81 and
over 81 years will be given a bronze
badge which he is to wear in his lapel
as a 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 a year.
Colorado's 1.-THE Of the expense Of
this war will also be more than her
share. Estimating the cost on per
capita basis. Colorado's share Of the
expense would be $70.000.000. She will
assume twice her share. it is believed.
Just what the states share of the lib
erty loan will be Is prOblematic. but
the governor believes 1t will be close
to $25,0OO.OO0. 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 $140, 0,0O0.,
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"
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1917-05-24

Colorado is ahead of other states.
and even of the government, In its
preparedness plans, says Governor
Gunter. Here are a few of the
things that are planned to be done
during the summer:
Give 100000 men to military
service.
Furnish 5000 men for patriotic
duty.
Form army of $4,000 boys and
men too old for service to guard
homes. raise crops and otherwise
assist the state.
In smaller towns close all bust
ness houses until 8 p. m, that all
may work on farms. and transact
business only between-h and at
night. This to include the banks.
Furnish far more than the states
quota of foodstuffs.
Furnish far more than her quota
of minerals needed for war material.
