A SOUSE AND HIS MONEY

BERT Singles was separated d
from a large roll of money
Tuesday night. 1t seems that
Bert blames some of his COM
panions for losing the money.
stating that when he was as
sisted to bed in the Brown
Motel in soused condition he
had $64O but when daylight
brought a return of account
ing ability he was unable to
find anything to add in the as
set column after he had frisk-
ed himself for currency.
Bert talked of making COM
plant against certain parties
but insinuated that a settle
ment might be made which
would relieve the law from re-
covering the money for him.
Since he has failed to swear
out a warrant it is presumed
that he recovered.

trict board Thursday that their

te Soils had been affirmed,
holding him as qualified for

Lester Ray, who had been
certified for military service
who failed to appear for en-
tralnment, reported to the
local board this week and will
be forwarded to Camp Fun
ston tonight.
Rio Grande county owes one
more man to fill the quota and
the selection will probably be

U. s. CAMPAIGN TO
CONSERVE FOOD

Hotels, restaurants, clubs and
housewives will be asked to take part
| in campaign to conserve food which
will be launched October 21st. Eat
plenty, but eat less of what the ma
ton needs" is to be the slogan.
This was the announcement made
at Monte Vista Tuesday by ]. T.
Treat of Denver who was here repre-
senting headquarters of Colorado
Food Administration. Every county
in the state is being organized to CO.
operate in food conservation and
every household will be requested to
observe the pledge to eliminate
waste. w. A. Bronaugh is chairman
of the Rio Grande county organiza-
ton.
Mr. Treats address at City hall
dwelt most strongly on the wheat
problem urging the use of corn,
whole wheat and bran. He said our
usual export of wheat was 80 million
bushels, and this year the govern
ment wished to export for our allies
and our own soldiers 200 million
bushels. With a shortage of 10 mil
lion bushels the excess required
would have to come from a saving by
all the people of the nation.
Everyone signing the conservation
pledge will promise to do certain in
teresting things, among which are
the following:
Have at least one wheatless meal
a day. Use corn, oats, barley, rye or
mixed cereal rolls, mullins and
breads in place of wheat broad. Eat
less cake and pastry.
Use all Of the milk. The children
must have whole milk, therefore use
less cream. Use buttermilk and
cheese freely.
Use more poultry, rabbits, fish and
sea foods in place of beef, mutton
and pork. Do not use these latter
three more than once daily.
Uso butter on the table, but little
for cooking. Reduce the use of fried
foods to save fats. Use vegetable oils
such as cottonseed and olive oils,
Waste no soap, as 1t contains fats.
Use less candy and sweet drinks.
Use honey, maple syrup and dark sir
ups without butter for hot cakes or
waffles
Buy less, cook no more than neces-
sary, use local and seasonable sup
plies. Do not eat between meals.
Preach the gospel of "the clean
plate"

Ronald Wilson's father and bro
ther-in-law, r. j. East, arrived in

GOOD ARGUMENT FOR
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

The representative of the State
impressed upon him mighty strong
Tuesday that the big thing to con-
serve right now was the potato crop
of this district which is in peril on
account of absolutely inadequate
transportation facilities. When the
people are urged to plant and pro-
duce large crop, the long arm of
the government should compel the
movement of the crop to market be-
fore it is spoiled

IF THE KAISER
OWNED AMERICA

We hope that the people
who invest in oil stock and
other enterprises will first pur-
chase a Liberty Loan bond and
assist Uncle Sam in making the
United States a safe place for
investment. Liberty Bonds
yield a guaranteed dividend of
4 per cent. If people have not
any patriotic money, they
ought at least to be business
like enough to want to protect
their dollars and Kaiser Bill's
interest is per-senkt-without
leaving trace.

A WORTHY CHARITY

A plea has come to Monte Vista
again this year from the st. Vincent
home in Denver for potatoes for the
coming winter. This institution ia
conducted by Sisters of Charity and
cares for about $50 homeless orphan
boys. Existing conditions have fore
ed the Sisters to seek aid through the
state in order to have food for the
winter. Any WHO have potatoes they
can donate, kindly deliver at Monte
Vista Flour Mills for storage.
The Monte Vista journal., 1917-10-20

In connection with the Liberty
Loan campaign, it should be remem-
bercd that the bonds can be purchas-
ed on very easy terms: Only 2 per
cent must be paid when application
is made; 1S per cent on Nov. Is; 40
per cent Dec. Is, 1917, and 40 per
cent Jan. Is, 1918. The bonds can
be sold at any time purchaser desires
at any bank.

|E POTATO INDUSTRY Will FORCE THE
RICE OF GOOD SAN LUIS VALLEY LAND
b Two HUNDRED DOLLARS AN ACRE
BY CARL B. STOW

Today the land values in the
lu Luis Valley are lower than
any other developed irri-
lted district in the Rocky
|ountain region. The produc-
Eeness of the soil, the health
]ness of the climate, the mar
\ conditions and the intelli-
kuce of our people, are at par
kth these same conditions in
l. localities where land val
Is are higher, but for some
Iexplainable reason the price
our land has not advanced
rapidly as the values have in
kny other we'll advertised
btricts.
However, the land owners in
is farming section are begin
bg to realize the real value
their holdings and when
Icy do fully grasp and COM
ehend the true worth of
csc good improved farms,
Ice will be quoted at $4,000
acre instead of from $1OO
$3.50.
Probably the greatest factor
the development, growth
d advancement of this agri-
ltural section is the potato
dustry. The large acreage of
tatoes grown, the enormous
Ids produced, the unexcell-
qualities, and the splendid
rkets for the crop, all COM
be to make this one of the
potato districts of the west.
the maximum results have
aS yet been attained, as the
mand for this product far
Feeds our supply. And this
JAMS that the production of
Luis Valley potatoes can
doubled, and when this in
passed yield is produced and
yen thousand cars of pota-
shipped from this valley
nually, the demand for this
q will be greatly increased
the price Of the best places
Vanced to 5000 an acre. And
raise in values will be just
falr, because the products
pwn on these farms will pay
ery high rate of interest on
svaluation.
Then too, even after these
pee and desirable farm
mes reach the price of 5000
acre, the value is then be-
the price of the best farms

UNIQUE GAME OF SEASON

Perhaps a more remarkable extra inning
game was never played than that between
the Reds and the Cubs at Cincinnati on
August 81. Going into the ninth the score
was to 4. The Cubs scored a run. The
Reds came back with one in their half In
the tenth the Cubs scored another. The
Reds came back and tied II.
In the eleventh the Cubs scored two. and
then what did the Reds do but score two
in their half. The umpres, despairing OF
the tie ever being broken, called the game
on account of darkness.
