CHANNEL PATROL IS
 DOING GREAT WORK

A special correspondent of the Press l Association has had an opportunity of inspecting the work of the Dover
 Patrol In the course of his visit he was accorded an interview with the Vice-Admiral Commanding at Dover, Vice-Admiral Sir Reginald Bacon. The Admiral pointed out that there had recently been a great deal of crit icism levelled at the work of the pa trol as the result of the recent raids on the Channel defenses by German light forces using the convenient bas- ! es of Ostend and Zeebrugge The Ad- miral, in his remarks, outlined the means taken to safeguard the line of communication between France and England, and spoke of the success of the measures which had enabled an ar my which had grown to the huge pro portions of the present Expeditionary Force to be transported across the sea without the loss of a single member.
 In reply to the criticism the Admiral pointed out the wide areas that need ed yigilant watching in that part of the world both by day and night, and the advantage enjoyed by the enemy in being able to choose his own time for attack.
 "A day or two spent aboard some of the ships of the patrol, and an oppor- tunity of witnessing their work, en- abled me to appreciate the force of the AdmiraIs contentious" writes the cor respondent. T saw few only of the multifarious duties that fall to the lot of the patrol to discharge. l began to appreciate just what demands on the comfort and spirit of officers and men the task of escorting the troops to the front entails"
 The commander Of our ship told me a story of two "torpedoes" illustrating how easily the most expert eye can be deceived at sea. At one time" said the commander, everything that stuck out of the sea six inches was submarine if it were seen from the coast, and even aboard ship. But have been mistaken myself remem- Der once the lookout reported, Tor pedo on the starboard quarter, sir, and it looked all up with us I picked up the trail with it's phosphorescent gleam and as it was too late to do anything, held on to the rail and waited to go up The torpedo sped up to the ship, dis appeared, and reappeared on the other side. A huge slice of luck thought l Just then I sighted another, and thot, The beggar has got in two.' The sec ond torpedo repeated the first perfor- nance, and I could scarcely believe our good fortune I ran to the other side, and to my consternation beheld both torpedoes turn inwards and start sporting with one another! Then I realized that couple of porpoises had given us the fright of our lives. I think, however, that they would have taken in anyone. ."-Dispatch.

Red cso.. and Var Council.

The item of local Importance to all
this week, il the gathering Of food
stuff from the county and its being
ready for shipment to Denver. This
is food TO be used by the Red Cross in
any way it sees fit. Especial recogni-
ton is due Dolores for the fine lot of
canned fruit from there, from Weber
came q generous amount of fruit and
vegetables. from Cortez came dried
fruit, and ,the Wattles detachment
sent apples and potatoes. The Oak
view detachment gave money, the
$50. % recently reported, as its share,
80 all are represented. The big total
is "a boxes, barrels of apples, and IS
sacks. That is a creditable showing,
and represents much time and labor on
the part of the ladies'. Perhaps we
can double this next year, now that we
have learned how to. work and what
there is to be done. 1t is desired to
express real thanks to those who so
generously donated of their produce.
1t is, and will be. appreciated. d.-1he

Conserving Bread and Meat.

Every citizen now realizes that the
two things in our food supply that
must be conserved are bread and meat
This can be effectively done not only
in their economical use but also in
using proper care to protect and guard
the supply. ---r-. -. ~,
1t is needless to say that now is the
time of all times when live stock should
be carefully protected from disease.
A loss of hogs or other live stock of
meat producing classes is not only q
loss to the owner but it 10 a direct de-
crease in the food supply which .shoald
have such careful guarding at the
present time. .r. .....,
A loss of food grains from improper
care is another instance of loss in the
food supply. All food grain should
be watched very carefully to see that
it is remaining in proper condition.
Food grains should not be threshed and
stored until they are in proper condi-
tion to store safely. 49, 49, ....'. 80
In many cases during the past few
months there have been severe losses
of meat producing animals and food
grains by fire. As q part of our pro-
gram of economy greater precaution
than ever before should be taken to
prevent fires. Only in this way can
the losses of bread and meat to the
public De prevented.
Losses of the classes mentioned
above are not such in all cases that the
owner can pr )tect himself by insurance
and in no case will insurance protect
the public. Just now the public is in
terested in the bread and meat itself
and not in its value. While every one
of our citizens must be protected
against loss by any means available tc
him, yet in addition to that it is his
p itriotic duty just now to protect the
bread and meat supply of the nation
by preventing its destruction if posi-.
BILE, because any food grains or meat
animals that are destroyed are entirely
lost to the public and cannot be re.
stored. Guard the grain and live stock
with greater care than is ordinarily
used because the risk is now somewhat
greater than ordinary and it is patri,
| otic duty just now to do sol. W.
