having failed TO prevent the outrages in
the Fifth Ward during the primaries last
Wednesday was unanimously adopted today

The resolution follows:
We the Congregational ministers Of

suit of last Wednesdays election in the
Fifth Ward, in which one of our police
men was murdered and others severely
injured We regard the neglect of the
Mayor to take timely measures to pre-
vent this outrage upon the rights of our
people as a matter Of very serious mo-
ment We therefore join with all other
citizens in such efforts as will punish the
evildoers and restore the good name of
our city

PENSION LEGISLATION

Constructive craftsmanship will
have its opportunity in devising PEN
sion or insurance system for the vet
Grams of our war with Germany. Pen
sions there must be- Whether it shall
be planless patchwork with Unequal
tiles and injustices, depends upon the
care with which the subject is studied
and the promptness with which the
task of framing legislation is under
taken. Pension legislation in this
country has not been adequate, timely
nor equitable.
Politics has always had more or less
to do with Civil war pension legisla-
tion. The bid for the "old soldier"
vote has been too much of a factor in
the framing of pension laws. The
system of granting pensions by spe-
cial act of congress has been open to
abuse and has sometimes savored
much of "pork." Pensions by special
act came by special favor, which
should not be the practice. What
ever pension is to be paid to any
soldier or his dependents should be by
right, under definite law, in pursu-
ance of that pledge of the nation to
care for him who bore the battle and
for his widow and orphans"
Pension legislation should not be
left until after the close of the war.
A comprehensive and practically self
operating law should be worked out
now and enacted sa the every soldier
on the firing line and every wife or
child will know definitely what pro-
visions the nation will make in fulfill
ment of its obligation to those who
make the supreme sacrifice in this
great conflict for the maintenance
of our national honor.
In the framing of such legislation
the veterans of the Civil war should
be able to render valuable assistance
They know the weakness of the pen
sion legislation of the past. They
have reached time in life when then
own personal interest cannot be af
fected. They can approach the sub
ject with intelligent appreciation o!
the needs of the veteran and his de
pendents and yet without undue pre-
judice in favor of liberal provision:
for those who suffer the misfortune:
of war.
The present policy of exemptine
from conscription those who have de
pendent relatives seems to remove The
need for legislation for the relief OF
dependents during the war. If cir
cumstances shall make continuance o'
that policy possible, the problem o.
framing general pension legislation
will be simplfied. But it will be onl!

LODGE POLE BASE BALL TEAM
WILL PLAY HERE SUNDAY

A game has been scheduled with the
Lodge Pole base ball team to play at
Riverside Park in Julesburg on next
Sunday, Aug. 18th, at which time the
Julesburg Champs will endeavor to
make good last Sundays disappoint-
ment to the, fans, by walloping the
Lodge Pole bunch in good style
These teams have not opposed each
other this season, and from the dope
given out, good game is in store for
all of those who attend. From all re-
ports the Lodge Pole team has some
fast players, and battle royal should
be the result.
The game will be called at 2:30 P. NJ.
and an admission of twenty-five cents
will be charged. Come out and root
for the home team, who have won
large majority of their games this
year, and expect to add another VIC
tory next Sunday, to their already
long string. 1t takes a pretty fast
bunch to hang it on our Julesbure
Champs. Perhaps Lodge Pole can dc
it, but we've got to be shown. Don't
forget next Sundays game, and the

STATE FAIR PREMIUMS MORE
LIBERAL THAN EVER BEFORE

Sure of greater attendance than
ever before and trying to do their
best the fair officials and the state
commissioners are planning an amuse-
ment program for the 1917 State Fair,
Sept. 18th to 22nd which will be sec
ond to none in the west this year. 1t
will include horse racing, auto racing
and aviation contest, together with
many other forms of amusements and
entertainment.
In addition to the liberal purses and
premiums offered by the fair associ-
alton, the breeders associations have
made more liberay special premiums
this year. Every breeders organiz-
alton in the nation will offer special
premiums for state fair exhibitors
The Percheron society never before
recognizing the state fair, will offer
special premiums this year which are
open to any of its more than 5000
members throughout the United
States. This will assist in interesting
breeders of high grade registered Per-

few months, or even weeks, before
we shall be bringing home disabled
men who offered their lives at their
country's call. Those men, rendered
dependent by service for the nation,
should not be thrown as charges upon
families who may find the burden +
grievous one, no matter how gladly
they may undertake it. The service
the soldier is rendering is for the
nation at large. The nation should
promptly and willingly make provis-
ion to bear the burden of caring for
those who come out of the conflict in
capacitated for self-support.

GREAT ARMY OF PRODUCERS

The hobOes are becomming tinctur-
ed with most peculiar spirit of idle
ness that is surprising. They are TAX
ing on the Mexican habit of working
only few days and then quitting.
Their plan is to strike a place, work
four or five days and then draw their
pay at the rate of 50 or So day. By
this time they have eaten out the
ranch and taken on a good fill so that
they can endure long siege of gas
tronomic deprivation and thus feel
, they are equipped to lay up for spell.
They move into a town and live on
fifteen cent meals until their surplus
money is exhausted when they reluct-
antly return to the country and do d
little more work in desultory way
| which is wholly inefficient and un-
satisfactory to the boss.
In carrying out this scheme of in,
ocuous inactivity they will beat theil
way on the railroads for hundreds OF
miles. The other day bunch OF
|. W. W. hoboes arrived in Washing
ton, put in few days on the alfalfa
and then struck out for North Dakot;
with the evident intention of dodging
the draft and thousands of such worth
less fellows are shopping around the
country in this reprehensible manner
in the hope that the long jump viii
save them for the army. This l. W

bud so that it may not blow into full

lures and increased premiums and the
government food training demonstra-
tion will be of special interest to wo-
men visitors. 1t will hold sessions
daily during state fair week.
Special reduced rates are to be Of
fered on all railroads from all points
in the state.
The Colorado State Fair, Sept. 18th
to 22nd, will be conducted this year
for the first time as strictly state
institution The board of fair COM
missioners named by Gov Julius c.
Gunter to take over the state fair this
year, will meet in Pueblo at the state
fair offices early next week, probably
Monday or Tuesday, and take over
the organization. The board is COM
posed of Martin Walter Jr., of Pueblo

TUETONS YIELDING GROUND
UNDER PRESSURE OF ALLIES
War Sum mary

The Tuetonic armies, still advanc-
ing, although against increased re-
sistance on the eastern front, are
slowly being forced back by the pres
sure of the allied armies in the west.
Gains made by the British on the
Flanders front on Friday when the
village of St. Julien was re-entered
and followed by an advance by the
French on their front Friday night.
Notwithstanding the continuing in
element weather, French forces drove
in beyond the Kortekeer Cabaret
moving their lines forward, while
their patrols pushed back German out
post and explored considerable areas
in advance of the French positions.
Artillery Fire Violent
Berlin announces an increase in the
artillery fire to great violence at times
on the Flanders front Apparently
the renewal of the great battle in all
its fury is only awaiting the return
of favorable weather.
The London war office makes it
clear that no shifting of British troops
| was found necessary to cope with the
situation created by the German di-
version of Thursday night near
Monchy lie Preux, on the Arras bat
tie front, through which inroads were
made upon the British position on In
fantry hill. Attacks carried out the
following day and night by the troops
on the spot, the official statement an
noupces, forced the Germans out and
completely restored the positions.
Russian Defense Stiffens
The situation on the Russian front
continues favorable to the central
powers, but the Russians appear or
the whole to be offering sitter de.
fense, particularly along the eastern
Galician border. At one point an en-
ergetic operation cleared the Austro
German forces from sector of the
east bank of the Zbrocz. Near Skala
the Tuetonic troops we're driven out
of two villages.
The Russians continue to yielC
ground in Bukowina and in the Car
pathians. They are engaged in a stiff
battle with the enemy northeast o.
kimpolung, however. Below kimpo
lung the Russians forces are falling
back on the Moldava and have yield
ed the town of Watra to the Austro
German advance.
Berlin sums up the campaign of tn
last fourteen days in the east as hav
ing cleared all Galicia of the Russians
with the exception of small strip o
territory extending southeast from
Brody.
Activity On Italian Front
| On the Austro-Italian front ther
) is somewhat more activity. The Ital
, ian airmen are notably busy. The
) rapidly followed up their recent raj
! on Pola, carrying out a second air at
tack in which great damage was sal
to have been done to this Austrian
naval base.

mate of the damage Frequently, we
find as high as 40 percent of smut
present, and commonly find 6 to 10
percent.
Obviously, it means great unne-
cessary waste of grain since, by
means of proper seed disinfection, the
smut can be prevented. 1t would
be thing of very considerable inter
est if all farmers should select day
on which to examine their grain ant
then bring the results of all such ex
aminations together, and note the los!
of grain in one season.-H e. Vasey

LOSS OF GRAIN BY SMUT
is OFTEN OVERLOOkE Ell

1t would be very interesting as well
as instructive to all those who have
wheat, oats, or barley if they would
go into their fields before harvest
and make careful examinations for
smut. There is no question but that
a good many farmers would be great
ly surprised to find smut present at
all, but many more would be aston
ished to find very large percents OF
smut.
As matter of fact, anyone who
is familiar with the wheat-closed
smut can easily detect its presence
after a rain, even from a considera.

animation of the field to get an esti.
