The Raymer enterprise. (New Raymer, Weld County, Colo.) 1910-19??, 1917-10-11

Some little shake-up took place
in the clerical forces of the town
last week. With the beginning OF
the month Fred Tighe severed his
long connection with the Raymer
Mercantile Company and will devote
his entire time to handling the mail
except when he is helping to thresh
the hogs out on the farm or some
thing like that. His place will be
taken by Dan Wyatt. At the Kotouc
Bros. store Tom Wyatt takes the
place of A. Moobery who will return
to Denver for the winter. l.. Z. Ae-
bersold leaves the bank and Mrs.
Quinn is helping J. N. handle the
cash OF the community at the bank.
Mrs. NJ. J. Kraxberger sold her
half section south Of town to Dan
Burton the first of the week and
they have bought piece about
mile west OF town

When the soldier boys reached
Eaton last week 1t was discovered
that they should be provided with
blankets as the supply at Fort Riley
was short and hard to get.
AS the men had been told not to
bring too much stuff, they of course.
had not provided themselves with
such things. The Red Cross society
took the matter under adyisement
and before the train pulled in here
came the ladies with a nice blanket
for each of the boys to take with
them.
GOOD for the Red Cross and es-
pecially the thoughtful ladies of
Eaton. The Enterprise wants to say
that Raymer people appreciate their
generosity and their thoughtfulness
The horrors Of war are made light
er by their acts, and 1t makes Just a
little easier 70 let our boys 60 when
we know that this great socoety is
everywhere watchful of their needs,
no matter what the danger.

PATRIOTISM CONES FIRST
WITH PATRIOTIC PEOPLE

Mr.. Hart of Hereford is In this sec
tion organizing the Non Partisan
League. We are not well enough
advised as to the real merits OF this
movement to say what we would do,
but enough of suspicious exists to
justify the caution to go slow.
There is question whether this
organization is fostered with o pat
riotic motive, and in time OF war.
we want nothing to do with any or
ganization that is not absolutely
loyal to the United States.
We are satisfied that Mr. Hart is
as loyal as anyone, but 1t is barely
possible that he may be deceived.
If this organization is what 1t
should be in this matter 1t will in
vite investigation, II its purpose is
not what 1t should be. II ought to be
Investigated whether 1t wishes 1t or
not.
We are inclined to feel that such
a name is misnomer also, and that
instead of being non-partisan, 1t will
be very partisan
Already there is suspicion that Its
advent into Colorado is being en-
couraged by partisans Of the most
pronounced type and some whose
loyalty is not beyond suspicion.
These suspicious are enough to
put all loyal people on their guard.
and cause them to go slow, and in
the event that even taint OF dis
loyalty is found the organization
1t will be given short shift by any
citizens of this vicinity In other
words, while we will look after our
own interests, we are patriotic first,
and no selfish interests shall prevent
our doing our full duty by the ma
tion, especially in war.
At some day not far distant Mr..
Hart expects to hold a meetinng at
the school house to explain the OBJ
jects OF the League. He will be CIV
en- respectful and courteous hear
ing and If the people who join In all
places are of the same mind a those
who live about here, 1t will speedily
become patriotic IL 1t is not so now.

Injustice Somewhere

Somewhere along the line injus-
tice has been done in the determine
tion OF the national army quota to
be demanded Of each county in the
state. That much may be said with
out impugning the motives Of those
who had the apportionment in hand.
Denver, with population which she
boastfully puts at not less than a
quarter OF million, has a quota only
a little larger than that of Weld
county. which never claimed q popu-
lation OF more than $4,000. Denver
apparently has had credit for enlist
ments which rightfully belong to
other counties of the state.-Weld
