Happiness in life does not "a big
things. It comes from many little
things in our everyday life. A little ap-
probation; a kind word; a little this,
that and the other, with a few dollars
to buy just the necessities of life;
good health; good clothes and kind
friends. Would a million dollars com
pensate a nan for a bad stomach or a
case Of the neuritis? Hardly.

WAYS AND MEANS
COMMITTEE APPOINTED

Not long ago the Governor of Colo
rado called to Denver those who are
m more or less direct connection with
the national government and are
.ermed the National Defense coun-
ii. This council includes in its mem
bcrship the agricultural agents of the
government f. d. Smith the gov
Inment agent from this section was
,mong the number that met for the
consideration of matters important
onceining food production. This de-
'ense council requested that in each
ounty committee of not less than
fifteen be appointed to act as Ways
md Means committee for the nation
Il government.
Mr.. Lyman who is president of the
ounty Farm Bureau called togeth.
n Representatives of various organi-
ations and departments, including
he local oranges thruout the county.
IN response to this call there were
PRESENT at the Exchange yesterday
fteinoon County Agriculturist f. d.
smith, II. Il. French national forest
supervisor, r. p. Wilson of the Ex-
hange and the following representa-
lives of the various oranges of the
,ounty; Geo F. Holland of Allison,
w. A. Short of. Sunnyside, 7. f. Pet
arson Of the Florida Mesa, H. w Ak
ers of Bayfield,, DR.. King of Ignacio
MD c. F. Addy, of Marvel grange,
and Edgar Buchanan OF Durango and
the Animas valley,
While the information brought to
those present is practically the same
as has been published in the Herald
from time to time concerning the
food condition in the United States.
It is well to say that Mr.. Smith took
occasion to state that all. or practic-
ally all, the statements sent out for
publication by the governments Of
both state and nation were not to be
questioned. However it was stated
by him that there were no indications
shat maximum price would be plac-
ed upon farm products. The chief
object of the government thru these
agencies being created is to find out
the acreage of wheat, corn, hay and
potatoes and beans. 1t desires to de-
tcrmine the number of hogs, cattle,
sheep and poultry. In other words the
government wants this committee to
do just what the Exchange has been
asking the people Of the San Juan to
do, that is to make a market survey.
1t is desired to know just what the
farmers are going to need in order to
take them thru the harvest season.
II wants to know of all the available
help in this section. All these ques-
tions were discussed and much light
was thrown upon the availability Of
labor
Mr.. Smith called attention to the
Semi-weekly herald., 1917-05-24

great increase in the acreage of
beans; the present price of wool and
the loss of sheep during the cold
spring weather. He stated that it
had been suggested that business
houses would close during part of the
lay in some sections during the har
vest season in order that the farm
ers may have more help. He stated
that it was expected that the children
would and should find work TO do and
that it will all count in the end. He
suggested that no doubt the passen-
ger service on many railroads would
be reduced in order to make room for
freight trains during the shipping
season. All these things, he said,
were being considered and would be
worked out in some form or other
Mr.. Lyman, at the conclusion OF
Mr.. Smiths talk, stated that the Du-
rango Exchange was doing a great
work for the whole people and that
ne would like to have Mr.. Wilson
make some statements as to what the
Exchange was doing. Mr.. Wilson
stated in brief what the Exchange
was doing and what it had done for
all classes of all parts of the San
Juan. MIR. Lyman named the grange
masters of the county, together with
Messrs. French, Smith and Wilson as
The committee on Ways and Means.
fhc spirit of the meeting was right
md it may be taken for granted that
the committee will do all that lies
within its power to accomplish the
desired results.
