BIG VICTORY SHOW
january Stock Show at Denver Will
be Greatest Event Ever

The board of directors of the
Western Stock Show association
have decided that the next National
Western Stock Show, which opens in
Denver on January 10, is to be
known as the "victory Stock Show"
It is planned to make it the great
est event that has ever been held in
Denver. Additional space has been
secured for the show thru the lease
OF the big three-story horse barn
across the street from the show bull
dings and Lafayette street in front
Of the show will be closed to public
traffic and included within the show
and by this method it is expected
that all of the exhibits can be sue
cessfully taken care of.
The directors report that the out
look for exhibits at the coming show
is the best Of any previous year. All
departments will be filled to over
flowing and it is expected that there
will be gathering Of stockmen
from Colorado and adjoining states
and from all over the west; in fact,
that it will be greater than at any
previous exhibition.
In connection with the Stock
Show, the annual convention of the
American Live Stock association will
be held and plans are being made
for a great mass meeting of stock
men at which government officials
will undertake to explain to the
stockmen what the postwar demand
for livestock and agricultural prod
ucts will be during the coming year
and for some time to come. Here
tofore these meetings of stOckmen
have been held for the purpose of
Informing government officials re-
Rarding conditions. At this meeting
government officials who have been
In Europe investigating will tell the
stoekmen what they have found out.
Plans are being matured on
fHkzv sssls for-u1s's Of the greatest
five stock and agricultural EXPOSE
tions ever held in the west. It will
be q time to celebrate and Denver
will be wide open during the week.

BY Their STACKS SHALL y
WE KNOW THEM

Last summer, during some 1900
miles of cross country Gravel by
automobile, thru Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Colo
ralo, l had opportunity to note the
ways in which different farmers
stacked their hay, says B. F. Coan,
of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege.
ION some farms, the stacks look
ed as tho they were just thrown to-
gether without any regard for turn
ing off the rain, without any regard
for protection against wind, with
out any regard for appearance, Just
anybody can stack hay seemed to
be the idea.
"On many of the stacks the top
was so nearly level the rain surely
would run in and spoil much Of the
hay. saw dozens md dozens of
stacks halfway good, to stacksA that
looked as tho they were made with
blow stackers.
Somehow, l wanted to class the
farmers according to their hay
stacks. Often l noticed poor fences,
poor houses, and poor barns, and lily
kept fields on the same farms where
haystacks were so poorly constructed
ut was delight to see other
farms and other stack yards. The
meadows, tho homes, the barns, and
fences were all in fine condition.
And tho hay stacks! 1t was real
pleasure 10 look Mt them. They
had been made by men who knew
how by men who took pride in their
work. The hay would not spoil. l
felt that here were good, progress
sive, prosperous farmers"

NOTICE OF IMPORTANCE
TO RETURNING SOLDIERS

Denver, Colo, Dec. Especially
Important information Is today re-
ceived by the State Council OF De-
Tense from WashihgtAn, concern
ing employment and core for the re-
turning Colorado soldiers. Follow
ing is a telegram from Nathan A..
Smythe, assistant director Of the u
nited States employment service,
given out to all federal state direc-
tors:
"Our plan of operations in con-
nection with placing representatives
Of the labor department in every
camp under order Of the adjutant
general, dated November %, pro-
yD6es for establishment by this ser
vice of a bureau for returning sold
iers in every city and large town.
Soldiers being discharged at
camp and sent home will mostly seek
employment at home rather than
from camps. The task of finding
them occupations thus becomes a
community responsibility. The
function of the Employment Service
is to concentrate cooperative local
efforts and all information asto p47
sitions at central points, to furni
means of communication as to-
Dor supply and needs between com
munities, and to inform soldiers in
camps where and how to proceed
on reaching home"
The State Council Of Defense
thru its various departments, will
start at once organizing such bu-
reaus turnout the state, using local
offices Of Community Labor
Boards and Public Service Reserve
Agents and getting assistance from
other organizations In places where
the service has no representative.
Cooperation Of mayors, local coan.

bcrs Of commerce, draft board mem

organizations interested are being

SPANISH FLU Is NOT ABATING
TO ANY MATERIAL DEGREE

The epidemic Of Spanish influ-
ensa has not abated to any material
degree In this vicinity and the doc
tors are nearly driven to the point
Of physical exhaustion. Inasmuch
~ there have been exceptionally
few deaths from the disease in this
locality, considering the number of
cases reported, It 10 certain that the
doctors are not only giving their
very best efforts. but are about as
efficient ~ you will find anywhere.
1t Is perfectly natural for people to
be in q hurry when they call doc
tor and minutes seem like hours be-,
tween the time he is called and -
time he arrives. However, thGDe Ire
some inclined to find fault d6nd crit
iciss the doctors because they do
not come ~ promptly as they think
he should. Some who are not able
to pay promptly for the doctors SER
vices, have complained to them that
this Ii the reason for the seeming
neglect. This makes the doctors
feel badly to he accused of such
thing, when they nre not taking the
financial part Of It into considera-
ton, hut arc treating rich and poor
alike In trying to stamp out this uw-
full disease. All they ask Is that
the people have patience and con-
sider that they have more calls thur
they can possibly attend TO ns quick
ly ~ they would like to do. This is
the unfortunate thing about this ep.
idemic--t requires both doctors and
nurses in u great many families. all

THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT
TRY THE SOULS OF US AZ

These are the times WI Oh TRY
the souls Of men and women as they
never have been tried before. They
are times when heroism has an op-
portunity to manifest itself not in
the spectacular but in the common
place things Of ifs-in the sick
room, in the kitchen and In the many
little comforting things that the un-
fortunate flu victims are needing.
It Is time when the Red Cross, the
Woman's Council Of Defense and
other organizations OF the sort may
demonstrate to those whA have been
skepticai ~ to their function in the
great world problems that they are
doing all that is claimed for them.
Now that the flu epidemic seems to
be at its height there comes to our
ears news Of distressing character.
So sudden has the dread disease fas-
tened IT. hold upon some Of the fam
lilies b this locality that there was
no time for preparation-no time to
procure the necessary provisions and
fuel to make the sick ones comfort
able. In some cases, our physicians
tell VI, there were entire families
stricken at once with no one to 30
much as keep ''the home fires burn
ing" Indeed, it has bsen the ex-
perience Of Doctors Russell and Fos-
ter to not only prescribe medical ne
cessities, but to kindle fires and do
innuPaerable chores which took up
their precious time, and not only
that, but to 60 down in their peck
cts to provide warm clothing and
other things necessary to the imms-
diats welfare Of their Patients.
Truly our two local doctors have
been making a brave fight against
the terrible epidemic, but they can
not DO It alone. there have been
number Of brave women and men
who have volunteered their services,
but there is need Of . great MR.
more. Arvada always has riao 70
