COUNTY, COLORADO, THURSDAY

should we follow the example of
Japan and sit tight at home and
10 nothing unless our opponents
invade the waters of the western
hemisphere?
These are big questions and
this is a good time to calmly con-
slider them.
Japan declared war on Germa-
ny about two years ago and pro-
ceeded to take possession of the
German colonies in Asia and the
Islands of the Pacific. The Mi
1ado stopped there, although it
has been reported from time to
time that his ships were cooper
ating with the allies off the coast
of South America. So far as is
known, Japan has refused to send
soldier to Europe and it has de-
manded the market price for the
munitions and foodstuffs which
it has shipped to the beligerents.
The result is that the island
singdom is stronger to day from
financial and military point of
view than ever before in it's his
tory. When the war ends, it will
,e. in position to conclude an
advantageous peace with Germa-
~ and it will have the money,
ships and men to prosecute such
Enterprises as may appeal to its
ambitions.
HOW ABOUT JAPAN
What are those ambiLions?
)ur militaristic friends assure US
nat Japan is impatiently await
ng the day when it will be strong
nough to attach our western
coast. do not believe this fairy
/, ale which has been given wide
circulation, but, if it should prove
true, wouldn't Japan be much
more. likely to launch her legions;
against us after we had been ex-
hausted by a struggle in the
trenches somewhere in France,
than she would if we kept our
men and our money at home to
defend our own.
Then, again, if we send our
rmy and our navy to Europe we
must enter into an alliance with
england, France, Italy and Rus
ic and the eight or ten other
countries grouped under the
.ame Entente Powers" We
must fight for the things they are
fighting for, and we must not
stop fighting until they are ready
stop. Do we want to be placed
that position? AS an example:
What is Russia fighting for? And
are you willing that your boy
Mould die in order chat the Car
,a;ly get wha, he wants?
No, if we become involved in
var with Germany. or any other
lower, we must fight with our
,wn weapons, in our own way
nd we must be free to quit when
We get ready and on such terms
s.may be satisfactory to us.

He Was a SportI

That genial and witty soldier, Lord
William BeresfOrd, V. c., was once at
ball in India, says London Tit-Bits.
The evening being sultry the contriYer
of the festival had arranged lot of
seats In pairs in the adjoining racquet
court, which was pitch dark. During
one of the dance intervals Lord Will
liam took his partner there to talk
politics or what not, and whilst there
she dropped a small brooch. Cropping
about in the dark they could not find
It.
Light a match, will you, Lord VIII
liam, and then we can see," said the
lady. "Why not a bull's-eye lantern
whilst we are about it? No, no; let's
play fair" Then he stood up, and in
q loud voice announced, Ladies and
gentlemen, l am about to light a
match" And after a tactful pause
he did so.

He Was Cured.

Once there was little boy who stole
sugar. So strong was his craving for
sugar that half his mothers time was
taken up watching the sugar bowl
One morning, however, she filed big
tumbler full Of sugar and gave 1t to
the little boy and told him to eat 1t ALL
The boy took a spoon and started In
He ate about a third of 1t before he
got enough. His mother insisted that
he eat some more-it was all his to
eat, and she'd box his ears if he didn't
eat 1t. She did box his ears, and he
ate a little more, but presently he
slipped the tumbler under his chair
and slipped out to play. When he
came back, though, the tumbler was
there waiting for him. He ate little,
but 1t wasn't good. He said 1t twas

That tumbler never was finished up.
The boy is an old man now, and takes
his coffee straight. Gooseberry pie is
the only kind he likes. All other kinds
are "too sweet."-Kansas City Star.

"Dressmakinu Not an Art.n

That dressmaking is not an art, but

Tons of Gold Dollars.

The statement that there has just
been counted In New York, at the
United States assay office, the enor-
nous sum of S765, 100000 in gold may
be vlsualized somewhat when this is
translated into ounces, pounds and
tons, writes Girard in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
While it has been asserted that this
sum probably is the largest amount of
gold coin and bullion ever accumulat-
ed in one place, 1t is well to remem-
Der that only so recently as a year
ago there was said to be SS0O,000,0O0
in gold and bullion in the Russian
State bank
The sum in New York figures out
something like this: There are ap
proximately 100000 ounces or 3,000,-
900 pounds or 1,646 tons. The figures
are not exact.

MARKS OF DANGER
Certain Characteristics Distin-
guish Poisonous Mushrooms.
Edible Varieties May Be Easily Identi-
fled With Exercise of a Little
Care, Says Agricultural
Expert.

Every year there are a few cases
of mushroom poisoning. In some in
stances the individual is only made
sick, while In other cases the results
are fatal.
1t is difficult to lay down any hard
and fast rules that can be used to dis
tinguish between edible and poisonous
mushrooms. In some cases a species
that may be harmless for one individ-
ual may cause serious digestive dis
turbances in another. There is, how
ever one group of mushrooms that is
deadly poisonous. This is the group
of Amanitas, says w. w. Robbins Of
the Colorado Agricultural college.
There are a number of species of
Amanita, all of which are deadly pois-
onous. The deadly Amanitas have
white gills, ring about the stem just
beneath the cap, and a cup or scales
at the base of the stem.
Do not place any reliance in the
many popular and traditional tests of
poisonous or edible qualities. These
ttSbS tullltly WI lllltSS. llc us
celebration of silver spoon; sinking
in water; or brilliant coloration-are
no indication of either poisonous or
edible qualities. Furthermore, the
notion that poisonous mushrooms can
be rendered harmless by boiling In
water and then washing thoroughly In
cold water is erroneous.
One can easily become familiar with
a few edible kinds of mushrooms.
There are many of these springing up
In our lawns, dooryards and along
fences. One may feel absolutely safe
in using all those mushrooms having
black gills which dissolve with age
into an inky mass. These, of COURSE
must be eaten before turning black,
but usually several stages of rlpening
will be found IN the same clump or
group of individuals, so that identifi-
cation can be made. Among these
black gill species are the SHAGGY
mane," with a more or less bell-shaped,
creamy-white cap which becomes shay
gy, and the 'fpN-cap," growing in
dense clusters. These two are both
common in lawns, gardens, etc, from
spring to autumn and are among the
best of our edible forms. All of the
puff-balls are edible, and excellent II
eaten when the flesh is white and
solid.
Mushrooms are sometimes soon at
tackled by worms, and in gathering
those which have perhaps stood long
er than the others it is well to break
off the caps and note whether the
worms have worked their way up
through the stalk into the cap.
The deadly mushrooms are those
which possess the following three char
acteristics: % white gills; (2) a
ring on the stem just beneath the cap;
and (3) a cup or scales at the base Of

Marine Life,

According to C. r. Shoemaker of the
United States National museum, the
Danish West Indies offer an interest
ing field for study in marine life. In
one of his expeditions to st. Thomas
he found among other specimens, great
numbers of a beautiful dark purplish
red crab and many species Of small,
vividly-colored fish swimming about
the coral. These were in shades of
red and blue, and through the clear
waters were beautiful objects.

precious to her, it is not financially worth
while.
In war time that, Of course, is not consid-
cred. In peace it ought not to be considered
either.
By contributing to the public welfare we
find in the long run that we subserve our own,
and when once the habit is established it will
be very little trouble to keep our waste paper
materials in proper condition and see that they
get into proper hands.
Every scrap Of waste fabric, rope or paper
is of value. Clean white cotton rags are the
most valuable, but every species of rag, no
matter how old or soiled, can be utilized Even
our old black stockings return to US in the
form of roofing paper and are highly valued
by the manufacturers of this material And
there is going TO be a tremendous demand
for roofing paper after the war, because of the
wholesale destruction of buildings for which
it has been responsible. Woollen rags that
are not good enough for remanufacture are
used for the same purpose.
Old books and magazines can be remanu-
factured into book paper of excellent quality.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-17

gin forests of a new continent to draw upon
it seemed as if we had at last found an in
exhaustible source of supply.
Therefore we used and wasted paper-as
we used and wasted food-recklessly. The
family rag bag, on which the paper industry
of the country had previously rested, disap-
peared. Rags were still needed for the manu-
facture of writing paper, but we imported
them. Although Europe found it worth while
TO save her old papers and send them to us, we
thought it too much trouble to save our own.
Meantime we were cutting down our forests
for paper about three times as fast as they
grew and were daily becoming more and more
dependent upon Canada and other countries
for wood pulp-as the prepared cellulose is
called-while paper chemists secured the earth
assiduously but in vain for new sources of
fibre. Many other plants will produce per-
fectly satisfactory paper, but they will not do
il as cheaply as the tree.
1t is true that we still have vast reserves Of
pulp wood in the national forests-in the West
and in Alaska-and that if properly used they
will supply our needs for all time. But if they
New-York tribune., 1917-06-17

are used in the reckless way that destroyed
the Eastern forests they will not prove mex
haustible Neither will they help US in the
present emergency, because they are not near
enough to existing mills, and, without taking
other complications into account, a paper mill
cannot be built in day.
Proper use depends not only on economical
cutting and scientific reforestation, but on the
saving of other paper materials.
The latter precaution means saving the for
ests just as truly if we had snatched the
axe from the hand of the woodman, and the
saving of these materials rests very largely
with the housewife.
She can, if she will, add millions to the
wealth of the country, aid substantially in fur
nishing materials for munitions of war; and
help 70 change our present very dangerous
condition of dependence upon other countries
for a substance intimately associated with our
whole economic life.
The large consumer of paper or textiles finds
it to his financial advantage to save his waste
