The Ukrainian rada and the bolshevik
government in Petrograd have been at
odds since the successful revolution of
maximalists early in November. The

demand made by the bolsheviki that
the rada permit its troops TO go through
the Ukraine to aid in putting down the
Kaledines tCossack) revolt.

Practically every county in the state
of Colorado is today fast donning the
armor of modern warfare, with the
emphasis on the word modern"
Modern warfare begins with the food
supply for the nation and the armies.
When the burrows are filled then it is
time to I'LL the trenches, for without
the men in the burrows the men in
the trenches cannot stand the gaff.
The state ways and means commit
tee is fast accomplishing the organi-
cation of the state for the purpose Of
food supply. Its plans are compre-
sensive yet simple. First, it causes
to be organized county central ways
and means committee that shall act
as the clearing house for the county
in all agricultural efforts during the
war crisis. This committee then
names from its members subcommit-
tees on finance, seed, tractors and
labor, live stock, marketing, organi-
zation and publicity.
The subcommittee chairmen at once
get in touch with the chairman Of the
corresponding subcommittee of the
state committee and follows the course
mapped out by the state body. In this
way all of the work in all of the coun-
ties is coordinated and thereby made
to count to the maximum.
In a majority of the counties these
committees are at work with splendid
results; the remaining counties are
expected to be in full swing by the
end of this week. The state organiza-
tion is so comprehensive that even the
question of marketing the pre- iuce of
the state, which is under the direction
of w. H. Kerr of Denver, is to be look
ed after in a way that will mean
everything to the farmers of the state.
The beneficient results already ap-
parent in the coun les that are in full
organization are so pronounced that it
has already become popular sugges-
ton that the organization will be con-
tinued after the war is over and
peace conditions are fully restored.
Cooperation such as is being estab-
lished in every corner of the state
cannot help but put Colorado in the
van of states, and the continuance of
the work now being so thoroughly
done would most assuredly mean a
continuance Of the supremacy of the
state.

of cur relations with
Great Britain and France in the great
war has altered European opinion Of
Washington. His fame has been Sc
cure for over a century. There was
no hyperbole in Daniel Webst2r's dec
laration over eighty years ago.
Washington is in the clear upper
sky" When Washington died he was
preparing to command an army
against France. But when .iews of
his death reached Paris, Napoleon
ordered that the standards and flags
of the army be hung with crepe dur
ing the tIiumphal procession celebrat-
ing the Egyptian -Npedition, aad tn"
gala day ended with an eloquent fun
elal Grafton in the Temple of Mars.
At the same time flags were lowered
to half mast on The English fleet in
the channel Washington had wrested
from England her fairest colonies, but
this fact did not blind Enlishmen to
The realization that Ae was one of
the greatest of the sons Of men.
Washington did not escape criticism
at home or abroad. He was often as
sailed with a malignancy that seems
grotcsque, in the light of his finished
career. The bitterness of faction kept
up some of these criticisms in Amer
lea to the end, but the only effect was
to preserve to ignoble fame the names
Of his de.ractors. All his contempor-
aries worth while in America and in
Europe freely conceded his pre-emi-
ncnce as a man and as a statesman.
His qualities were so admirably
blended and his character so symmet-
rical that adventurous authors have
from time to time attempted to prove
his gigantic stature myth but they
have miserably failed. A microscopic
examination of every surviving scrap
of paper bearing on him and his times
has demonstrated that he was ire
proachable and unapproachable, "the
first, the last, the best, the Ciacinnatus
Of the West" He was great with tho
bigness of sphere and his immensity
is eomprehended only after e study Of
his parts. The British and French
visitors honored themselves in their
tributes to Washington.-Globe-Dem-

Rifle Club Notes

Three squads of the Lamar rifle
club marched through the rain Sun
day afternoon to see Kent Watson
off. The company was headed by
Judge Goodale. Kent left for Fort
Lyon and passed through the follow
ing night on his way to the training
camp at Chicago, Illinois.
At the mass meeting last week, L.
Writ Markham suggested that every
place of business in Lamar display
the flag, and that every citizen wear
small flag. It is a fine suggestion.
Are you a citizen?
About fifteen members of the rifle
club went to Hartman and took in
the patriotic meeting there last Sat
urday night. They report a fine

CHORUS:


An urgent telegram called Messrs.
Van Vleet and Kimball back to head
quarters and they were unable to be
with you Monday and Tuesday TO
talk beans. However those Of you
who heard Mr.. C. C. Isley Thursday
realize that a worthy substitute was
provided.
Some time within the next two
weeks Mr.. Van Vleet will again be in
the valley and he will bring with him
an agriculturist of Trinidad who has
had an unusual amount of experience
in bean culture. This gentleman wants
to meet all Of the bean raisers and
prospective bean raisers in Prowers
county and he will be glad to talk
over your problem and to advise as to
the best methods to employ in put
ting in and caring for your crop.
Now make note of this pleased II
you will write Mr. F. NJ. Wilson at
Hartman, Colorado, during the next
week giving the number of acres you
expect 20 put in beans and giving your
mail and phone address, you will be
personally notified when the farming
expert is TO be in the valley so that
you will not miss seeing him.
What with the war and the general
run Of high prices, beans should be
at a premium this season. Let's sec
that Prowers county farmers get their
full benefit.

Lamar and Prowers County Will Make
a Patriotic Record Hard to Equal

another week, and all sections will
have to do their share for the coun-
try, but in the meanwhile Prowers
county has set q little old patriotic
record that will hardly be equalled by
any other section. New York City,
right in the danger zone has volun-
teer enlistments of less than two
thousand, Chicago about the same, St
Louis and Kansas City about fifteen
hundred each and other places about
in proportion. This county, however,
has enlisted almost ore hundred in the
navy and regular army, and in addi
tion is now sure to recruit Company
d up to war strength or 12O men. This
will make enlistments of considerably
over two hundred men. If other To-
calitics had done proportionately New
York City would now be training an
army of one hundred thousand and
the full quota of two millions of men
would be enlisted.
In addition to the large number Of
recruits, the officers making exalni-
nations stated that Lamar was the on
ly place along the line where money
was never mentioned. Most places
they have to answer all sorts OF ques-
tions about the pay and work, but in
Lamar they said the only question was
"Can | pass the examination ?" and
when asked what branch of the ser
vice they desired to enlist in, almost
invariably they answered "Where l
am most needed"
One Of our new settlers in the south
country, Mr.. Pyle, sent three boys To-
the navy and said he was glad to do
his share for the country. One or two
other families sent two each.
Capt +. D. Householder Of Com
pany d and Sergeant Glen Harrison
have been holding meetings to en-
courage recruiting in Company d and
are meeting with great success. The
Colorado troops have been ordered tc
hold themselves in readiness to NOV
at any miuCte, and it is believed that
they will be n the first division that
will be sent to France. All Of our
boys who want action will do well to-
get in the home company as they will
stand a much better chance to go
across the water with Company D.
than in any other branch in which they
can enlist.
According TO the conscription bill
which has just passed both branches
of Congress and is now in conference
committee the, pay of private soldiers
will be $1,000 per month and board,
the highest pay for private soldiers
the world has ever known. The civil
war Union soldiers got S13 per month
in greenbacks worth 40 cents on the
dollar, and the Confederate soldiers
got their pay il 5kinplasters that re
quircd two years wages to buy Fl
pound of tobacco There is absolute
ly no danger of Uncle Sans money
deprcciating unless the war lists five
years longer.

Are you true patriot?
You can be d true patriot and etii-
ciently serve your country in time
of war even though it may be impos-
sible for you to shoulder a rifle and
fight.
An appeal has been made to the
farmers of Colorado to plant every
acre of land they have, in anticipa-
ton of a shortage of food next fall
At the same time a call has been
sounded to the dwellers in cities ard
towns, urging them to raise gardens
this summer and help in the produc-
tion of food.
How did you answer this appeal?
If you responded, you are true
patriot.
If you have not yet taken some
steps to help your country produce
food this summer, get busy! There
is yet time to helpl
DO YOUR BIT
Farmers all over Colorado are re-
spending to the call, letters being
received in large numbers by the
extension service of the agricultural
college, requesting information about
seed, and information upon other
subjects. The college stands ready
to help just as far as its resources
permit, and calls will be answered as
rapidly as possible.
While a large number Of farmers
are giving proper attention to the
situation, there are hundreds who
have not yet responded.
Every farmer in Colorado should be
enrolled in the work of producing
more food this summer.
If you are a farmer and have not
made plans to this end, make them
today, before it is too late.
Do not fear over-production and
consequent low price. There is not
the slightest possibility Of ever-pro-
duction this fall-or next fall, for
that matter. Just reason it out for
yourself. There has been practically
no production of food in England and
France for the past two years. We
have been feeding them. If the war
should be terminated today, they can
not possibly return to their normal
production this summer. They must
be fed next winter. Italy has just
sent a commission to the United
States for the express purpose Of
arranging for the shipment Of food
to that country. The United States
is now involved in the war. This
means a much larger demand for food
here at home.
Does that look like there could be
any over-production?
Vacant lots all over Colorado are
being plowed up to make gardens.
Are you planting a garden?
If you can't carry n rifle, carry a
hoe!
The boys and girls of the state
are already mobilizing for the fray.
Don't let them make you feel asham-
ed of yourself.
The agricultural college has launch
ed a campaign to enlist every boy and
girl in every city and town in Colo
RADIO in the work of producing food
this summer. The college stands
ready to help organize and get the
work started. The children in the
following cities and towns are already
"on the firing line::"
Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Canon
City, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale,
Greeley, Fort Collins, Fort Morgan,
Brush, Akron, Otis, Montrose, Ala
mosa, Denver and Aspen.
Are your kiddies in the "arny''?

A mass meeting of the citizens Of
Lamar was held at the city hall on
the evening of April 26, 1917. The
meeting was called to order by A. L.
Beavers, president of the rifle club.
He announced that. the purpose of
the meeting was TO assist Captain f.

pany to war strength
Mr.. Beavers outlined a plan for
getting recruits, and a committee was
appointed to arrange for meetings in
Prowers and Baca counties and boost
for Company d. John White, L. Mer-
rill Markham and r. j. McGrath were
appointed on the committee.
]. f. Brownlee, secretary of the
rifle club, called attention to the f.
nancial affairs of the club. He show
ed that the recruits furnished had
cost the club so cents each, with no
expense whatever TO the government.
The clubs annual dues are but 81 and
he asked for assistance in this line.
He asked for 5000 to assist in getting
recruits, and a bridge on the road 10

Merrill Markham called attention to
the fact that the Boy Scouts needed
a Scout Master, and asked that the
club assist in getting one.
Judge Goodale gave a very patrio-
tic speech, and gave good reasons why
the boys should join Company d.
Robert Zeigler rendered the free use
Of his car to assist in getting recruits. |
This is one thing badly needed, and |
those who have cars, and who are will J
ing to be sent after recruits, should /
leave word with L. Merrill Markham
or with the U. S. Land Office.
John White was appointed tempor-
ary Scout Master.
John White, l.. Merrill Markham,
