is engaged in an audit of the rec
ords of Pueblo county, and while
there will audit the accounts Of
the State Insane Asylum and the

ready the examiners, as result
Of their first visit, have compli-
mented the management Of the
asylum on the efficient conduct
of affairs.
The present high cost of food
stutfs, together with a decreased
appropriation, is nacessitating
rigid economy and curtailment of
expense at the asylum. but des-
pite these things the manage
ment is carrying the institution
, through to the credit of the state
The examiners declare that a
wonderful work has been and is
being done at the state peniten-
tiary by Warden lyman. The
grounds surrounding the prison
were formerly used as a Canon
City dump. Flourishes there
now one of the most beautiful
parks in the state.
Prior to Warden Tynan's time
there were no lawns. flowers or
gardens within the limits of the
| institution. Now all available
space is beng used either for gar
den purposes or beauty spots.
Barren hillsides have been trans
| formed, and bountiful crops will
be garnered from places which
were formerly waste.
The organization of the peniten
! itentiary is said by the examiners
to be perfect, and each inmates
efforts are being sensibly direct
ed to his own best possible ad-
vantage. with farms, cattle and
hogs it seems that Warden Tynan
has solved the high cost OF living
problem, and it is predicted that
the institution will soon be self
supporting, and may even show
a profit.

By Edward Heating
Congressman from the third Colorado
District.
'On Tuesday June 5, all male
persons in the United States who
shall have obtained their twenty
first birthday, and who shall not
have attained their thirty-first
birthday, must register under
the terms of the conscription bill
passed by Congress and approved
lby President Wilson May 18th.
No one. between the ag men
toned, is exempt, unless he is an
active member of the military or
naval establishment.
Anyone who wi!lfully fails to
register will be subject to pen
itentiary sentence. 1t is, there
fore. Of the first Importance that
all citizens who are subject to the
draft shall comply with the reg
istration provision.
In order to facilitate the work
and to avoid unnecessary incon-
vehience to citizens, the govern
!, ment has arranged that the reg
istration shall be made in the
customary voting precincts and
in the places and manner ordina-
rily employed in the registration
of voters.
EXEMPTIONS COME LATER
The fact that you are register
ed does not necessarily mean that
you viii be called on for active
service. Probably forty per cent
of those affected will be exempt
ed because of physical disability,
or because they are engaged in
work which is essential to the
prosecution of the war, or some
other reason satisfactory to the
members of the local boards
which viii be entrusted with the
administration of the selective
draft.
However, the entire matter of
exemptions must be disposed Of
after the work of registration,
and no one can be exempted from
the draft unless he has been reg.
istered.
So if you are between 81 ane
81, set aside Tuesday June 5. fo,
the work of registration. The
registration booths will open at I
O'Clock in the morning and re-
main open until 9 o'clock in the
evening. 1t would be a gooe
scheme to go early and avoid The

MENACE OF THE CAMPS.

MENACE OF THE CAMPS.
Every precaution will be taken
to safeguard the health of the
conscripts. But how about their
morals? -
Shall we permit the saloon and
the brothel to d. business in the
vicinity of these camps? Booze
and prostitution do not strength
en- armies. They destroy them.
During the Russo-Japanese
war, the Mikado' generals would
not permit woman in the vicin-
ity of their armies. The repre-
sentatives of Gear endorsed no
such moral code. The Japs bar
red strong drink from their
camps. The Russians indulged
to excess.
The result is now a chapter of
history. With inferior forces the
Japanese won battle after battle
and brought the war to con-
clusion on their own terms.
This is not an isolated instance
Oliver Cromwell was one of the
greatest generals Of all time.
When he took command of the
Parliamentary army in England
it was a disorganized rabble
which could not withstand the
assaults of King Charles Caval-
iers. Cromwell drove out wom-
en- and strong drink and his
''round-heads marched from vic
tory to victory.
ENGLAND'S GREAT
BLUNDER
We hear much about .''profiting
by the mistakes Of allies, and it
is not bad doctrine.
England's greatest blunder was
her refusal to suppress the liquor
traffic at the very beginning of
the war. Lloyd George wanted
to take that step, but the brew
e~s and distillers were too strong
for him. They said Tommy
Atkins" needed his grog. OF
course, they were not thinking
about "rommy's moral or ply
sical well being. What they want
ed were dividends and they have
received them in generous meas.
ure, but England has-paid ter.
ribie price in decreased efficiency
and mora! degeneracy.
Arthur Nee and J. Stuart Ho!-
den have written a book telling
of England's experience. Copies
have reached this sid, of the
ocean. It is a startling story and
one which should be taken to
heart by the American people.
l will quote just one paragraph.
I'VE are fighting for liberty,
and in the name of that same
liberty we license in this country
thing more terrible than Ger
man submarine. destroying more

and spreading more sorrow in ev

with its human freight. by acci-
dent or neglect, and the whole
world throbs with grief; the Lu-
sitania goes down the act of an
assassin, and the whole world is
stricken with horror. But !if a

discussed. The general senti-
ment was that Cheyenne County
in justice to herself and her chill
dren should be able to own and
manage her own school property.
The history and maintenace of
the dormitory was discussed
from its inception. June 18th 1915
when the school officers meeting
of that date began to take action
as business proposition on the
evil effects of cigarettes, tobacco
and late hours upon our high
school and also upon other school
in the county. 1t was shown
that the. dormitory system is
practically costing the taxpayers
no more than the former one and
that the school is immeasurably
benefited. Mr.. Akerly and Mrs.
Gwathmey were highly commend
ed for their skillful and efficient
manac ement of this department
of our county school work. Not
only the individual pupils and
the schools are benefited. but
the county as a whole extends
kindly appreciation and encour-
agement.
The afternoon session began
with question about the best
date for beginning Of school in
the fall. The legal school holi-
days also claimed attention. 1t
was unanimously decided that all
schools in the county should be-
gin the second Monday in Sep
tember. the date being Septem-
Der 10th, and that a vacation cf
one week should be taken at hol-
iday time.
The need and the practicability
of teaching agriculture and ele-
mentary science in the grades
was next considered. After a
searching discussion and the tes-
timony of those whose boys and
girls had taken this course dur
ing the past year, it was u.ani-
mously agreed upon. Books will
be furnished, and a course out
lined and eighth grade require
ments will be the same as in 9TH
er subjects. The county super
intendent considers this one of
the most progressive pieces of
constructive work which has been
accomplished in the county. All
pupils cannot attend high school
and we owe them at least taste
of the elements of modern sci
ence and it's application to our ev
cry day lives.
The 1912 law regarding the
special tax levy was explained.
and it will be of great advantage
to the districts when everyone
understands it. When it becomes
thoroly understood, perhaps tax
payers will cease to tolerate it.
The vexed problem of the trans
portation Of pupils was brought
before the meeting. The ruling
of the Attorney General is our
best authority since there is no
law concerning transportation of
pupils except in consolidated dis
tricts. A school board on its own
initiative has no power to pay
transportation, but a majority
vote of the district may give
them the power. or make it their
duty to do so under certain cen
ditions.
The compulsory education law
of Colorado requires every pupil
between the ages Of eight and
sixteen y.ars to attend school
every day it is in session, with
certain exceptions.

Day of Special Prayer.

Columbia, Aug. 26.-Gov. Manning
issued a proclamation yesterday, des-
ignating next Sunday, September ?,
as day of special prayer for those
who are to be called into the national
army by the selective service law.
The governor calls upon the min
listers of all denominations and all
Christian people to make special in
tercession for the soldiers on that
day. The proclamation reads:
Beginning September ), thous-
ands of young South Carolinians will
be called for service in the National
Army. The National Guard of South
Carolina is already in the federal SER
vice. 1t seems to me fitting that
some recognition should be made OF
the sarifces that our men in arms
are making, and are to make, in fight
ing for our country, for defense of our
honor, for the defense of the lives
and property Of American citizens
and for the cause of human freedom
and of human liberty. 1t is our duty
to dispel the idea that the men of the
National Army are to be looked upon
in the attitude of being forced to
fight. The policy of the government
has been fixed, by which men are
selected for service. There is, there

fore, nothing but honor and respect
to the members of the National Army
who have been drafted, as we'll as to
those who have volunteered their SER
vices.
"A solemn duty devolves upon the
citizens generally who will not be
priviledged themselves to bear arms,
but who are in cordial sympathy with
the purposes for which these men are
to fight.
Eve recognize the sacrifices that
are ahead of us, either as non-com-
batants or as soldiers, and that those
bearing arms, who are leaving their
homes and loved ones in response to
the call of duty and patriotism to
their country, may be called upon to
make the supreme sacrifice.
1--WE are a God-fearing people. We
realize our dependence on Him and
we trust in His sustaining arm.
Il therefore call upon all ministers
of every denomination, members of
all the churches and citizens gener-
ally, to unite in making Sunday, Sep
tember 2, day on which all patriot
ic citizens are called upon to offer
prayer, fervently and solemnly, for
the men who are under arms, and for
those who are to be called to arms
and for their families and loved

How to Beat the Boil Weevil.

If Sumter county would be pre-
pared for the coming of the boil wee
vii within two to five years, we must
build a system of roads that will be
good under all conditions of weather,
the tenement system must be entirely
reformed, marketing system must
be developed, the farms must be
fenced and a diversified system OF
farming must be practiced, with diff
ferent sections of the county special
izing on certain crops that expert
ence has proven best adapted to the
soil. There is much to be done and
the time all too short even though
everybody should get to work at once.

Ex-Governor Blease in speech at
Pickens Saturday, boasted for an
hour or so of his 'patriotism' and
"Americanism," but he does not at
tempt to explain his utterance at
Pomaria: Il don't care what kind of
America we have after l am dead.
The only reason that he does not
denounce the newspapers as liars
for reporting him as making that
statement is that his speech was re-
ported by a friend Of his.
We are frequently told when sollc-
iting business, that lit does not pay
TO advertise. Of course such a
statement is based on lack of infor-
nation. John. Wannamaker, the
merchant prince of America, is one
of the worlds largest and most sue
cessful merchants. He says that his
success is due entirely to advertis-
ing. He ought to know. He spends
more perhaps every year for ad-
vertising than the combined sales OF
all the merchants in Bamberg. John
Wannamaker is worth hundreds of
millions, and he used to sell goods
from a wheelbarrow. HOW much is
the merchant who says it does not
pay to advertise worth?
