Denver-Elias NJ. Ammons, former
governor of Colorado, is farmer.
Perhaps no man in the state has a
better appreciation of the farmers
small needs and how comparatively
simple it is for city folks" to extend
him hand.
"In the present war crisis, as never
before, the friendship existing be-
tween the merchant and professional
man and the tillers of the soil must
be utilized" said Governor Ammons
in discussing plans for increasing the
planted acreage of Colorado. The
wherewithal to feed a team, to pur-
chase a few bushels of seed, to break
up few extra acres, If extended to
the farmer at the present time will
mean incalculable good and may turn
the scale in the coming season from
famine to plenty. There are thous-
ands of business men in Denver, who
know farmers. Why should not every
one of them get in touch with his
friend in the country? Ask him what
he needs. You would be surprised
to know what a boost it would
be to many a farmer of the state
right now to nave $50, $75 or 800
showed into his horny hand and told
to use it in putting in crops-to get
his teams in better shape for the COM
ing plowing and cultivation ordeal, to
effect some necessary machinery re-
pairs, to hire an extra man or two
during the planting season. In the
long run it means doing a bit for
Uncle Sam
Every pound of grain, every bushel
of potatoes, every ton of forage, that
can be brought from the ground in the
coming growing season will be need
ed in the conduct of the serious opera
tions that are ahead for the Amerl-
can nation"
Never in mans lifetime will there
be more splendid opportunity to rem
der a patriotic SERVICE" said former
governor Ammons, land, what is more,
in 80 cases out of 100 the bread cast
upon the waters will return. Never
again, in my estimation, will there be
surer returns on farm labor and crops
sown than in the present year. Tell
your farmer friend to use the money
you extend to him to the best advan>
age, and pay you back when he makes
his harvest The entire world is run
ming short of food. The eyes of the
whole universe are upon the farmer"

French Headquarters in France,
April 20-Some of the most terrific
and bloodiest fighting in the course
of the war enabled the French to in
crease their bag of prisoners to more
than 1900 on the third day of the
battle, while the total of the field
and heavy cannon which they cap
tured reached nearly eighty, not
counting many others buried in the
mud. Along nearly every point of the
long line stretching from st. Quentin
far to the eastward of Rheims, the
French pushed forward and occupied
positions from which a further ad-
vance was promised More than $780,
900 fresh German troops were brought

GREATER PRODUCTION NEEDED

After all is said the fact remains
that il there are lower food prices in

about through greater production. This
last depends directly on the part of
those engaged in agriculture as we'll as
the use of small plots of land by resi-
dents of cities for the raising of vege-
tables for home consumption.
The fact is that New England with
all its farming districts is far from
sclfsustaining. There is not enough
wheat, corn and ether grains raised.
This section depends on the West for
these products. The old days of sheep
raising on the hills of New England
have passed into history. New Eng
land raises very few sheep. The pro

England's War Debts.

- War debts grow with tremendous
leaps in very short periods of time;
but it is equally true that they have
been retired most slowly. Following
the Revolution of 1888, for a period of
12S years England alternated between
periods of peace and war. During the
CT years of war approximately fS25,
100000 were added to the national debt,
and during the GA years of peace the
debt was reduced only ESQ, 100000 The
Crimean war added f33 900, 900 to the
public debt of England. The Boer war
wiped out the savings of SO years that
had been applied to the reduction of
the national debt.
''All Of the savings of the imperial
government of the richest country in
the world from the Revolution of 1858

Little Debts

Big debts weigh on our minds. Lit
tie ones are very likely to slip our
memories. And that is one reason
why 1t is more serious TO borrow ten
cents than ten dollars. There is no
danger that the ten dollars will be for
gotten, but how many of us forget the
nickels borrowed for carfare, the bor-
rowed postage stamp, the Borrowed
pencil or eraser. Be on your guard
against the little indebtednesses ii is
so easy to get.-Girfs Companion.
