VOTE FOR MARTIN
FOR CONGRESS

To the Democrats CT Gilpin County:
The Dem ocrats of Cilrin county
must help decide the nest import
ant roliticpl contest in the state OF
Colorado this year.
It is the contest between Con
gresham Edward Heating and for
mer congressman, John A. Martin
for the Democratic nomination in
the third district.
The Congressional Record shows
that Mr.. Heating failed on every
"acid test of true loyalty and genu-
inc Americanism, Quoting the
words of the President) Upon the
same record Congressman Hilliard
of the Denver district was Inani-
mously read out of the Democratic
party.
These two Colorado representa-
tives voted for the backdcwn resolu-
tton, voted against the declaration
OF war, voted for an embargo on
THE shipment of arms and munitions
to the allies, voted againsr. sending
trooIs to Europe, voted against the
Presidents army plen, known as the
draft act, voted against prepared
ness bills.
Only out of ABS memt ers Of con-
gress made a clean score of 100 per
cent wrcrg on the loyalty tests.
Congressman Keatipg and Hilliard
were two of the four.
Can the Democratic party face
both ways? Can 1t go down the
line for Senator Shafroth and Con-
gresham Ed. Taylor en- the ground
that they were with the president
and also go down the lire for Mr..
Keatirg, as against the president?
Why should Mr.. Hilliard be repudi-
ated and Mr.. Heating be endorsed
on the same record?
Dent forget that Mr.. Heating s
record ct the time of this country's
entrance into tire war was SO con-
trary to what hos loyal constituency

Work Of Turkey Hen.
A turkey hen that begins laying in
the middle of March will usually finish
laying her first litter early in April
her second late in April, and her third
litter about the third week in May,
depending upon the number of eggs
she lays and the promptness with
which she is broken up on becoming
broody. -. Some turkey hens can be
made to lay four or five litters, but
this is not usually advisable as poults
Matched later than June do not have
a chance to develop for the Thanks
giving and Christmas markets and are
not sufficiently mature the following
spring to be used as breeders.
Turkey hens can easily be broken
of their broodiness by combining them
for two or three days to coop with
a slat bottom. They will mate soon
after being let out of the coop and
begin laying in about week. Turkey
hens and chicken hens usually are
used to incubate turkey eggs, although
incubators are quite generally used
where turkeys are raised on large
scale.

An enemy submarine with two per-

One of the bombs made a direct hit
just behind the coming tower. The

every one does his full share shall thar
victory come.
War Is Grim Work.
urge haste, urge thoroughness. urge
unremitting effort Take the war seri-
ously, for war is grim work, and we
nave an enemy who thinks of nothing
but efficiency. Our soldiers are not on
~ to be amused, but armed and taught
to fight. Insist that this comes first.
More guns, more ships, more air
planes! Is your congressman or SEN
ator tagging? Punch him up. Act ev-
cry day as if your life and your wife
were in danger. They are! Speed up
the war!
Have you learned that waste is
treason?
Upon us our allies depend not only
for men and munitions but for food
and clothing. If our permanent liberty
is to be won, they must for while de-
fend it for us, till we, too, can fight.
Shall we waste, then, while they
want? While they are to be fed and
clad, waste is treason. Save wheat,
save meat, save wool! The war needs
everyOne's strictest economy.
The good ship Democracy is sorely
beset by the storm. Shall the passen-
gers revel while the crew starve? Di-
vide! Divide, and save the ship lest
all be lost!

TURKEY RAISING
GOOD SIDE LINE
Requirement of Range Usually
Limits Production of Big
Fowls to Farms.
BRONZE VARIETY IS POPULAR
Birds Are Especially Adapted to Grain
and Stock Farms Where There Is
Ample Ranging Ground
Astounding in Feed.

For those who are favorably stu
ated for raising turkeys, a more profit
able side line scarcely can be found
Plenty of range is necessary to raise
| turkeys, so this usually limits the Cd
| portunity to the farms. Turkeys are
included in the department of agricul
lures program for increasing poultry
production, and specialists of the de.
partment point out how and where in.
creases can be obtained.
Turkeys are especially suited to the
grain and stock farms where there is
ample ranging ground Astounding in
such. turkey food as grasshoppers and
other insects, weed seeds, waste grain
such as is left in the fields after har-
vest, and nuts Of such varieties as
beechnuts, chestnuts, pecans, pine nuts
and acorns. On such farms the pres
ent prices of grain affect the turkey
raiser but little, for with the excep-
ton Of what is used at fattening time
the feed consumed Is largely of such
q kind as would otherwise be wasted.
Raise More Turkeys.
With but little additional outlay to
the farmer many more turkeys could
and should be raised, federal special
lists say. The small number of turkeys
per farm in the United States is sur
prising. According to the census of
1910, which is the latest that has been
taken, only 1871 per cent. of the total
number of farms reported any turkeys
at all, and on those farms reporting
turkeys an average Of but slightly over
four breeding turkeys was found per
farm. Some farms by nature Of the
crops grown on them or because of
unfayorable surroundings are not
adapted to turkey raising, but most
farms could easily handle a breeding
flock Of from 10 to 10 hen turkeys
and tom, raising from rs to $50 each
year at good profit
Throughout the middle West, where
most Of the turkeys are raised, 1t is
unusual to see flock of more than
SO on farm, although In Texas, where
more are produced than In any other
SSatSJ AoNhS Va SCfCIdl uuuuItu are
rather common. In sections of the
Southwest and on the Pacific coast a
few persons have engaged In turkey
raising on a large scale, rearing a
thousand or more every year. There
are not, however, enough turkeys
raised on the Pacific coast to supply
the local demand. This Is true also Of
the Atlantic coast states.
Owing to the fact that the Bronze
turkey is the heaviest, it is more
popular among turkey raisers than
other varieties. Since turkeys are sold
by weight the heaviest birds bring the
greatest returns When q large num-
Der Of people are to be served, as in
hotels, restaurants, and boarding
houses, the demand is for heavy tur-
keys. For family use the demand is
for small or medium-sized birds. IN
less they are to be marketed locally
among customers who demand small
birds, it is far more profitable to raise
the heaviest. Regarding other charac-
teristics, it is quite generally asserted
that the Bronze is the hardest variety.

Truths Brought Home to Ameri

What have you learned from this
first year of the war?
Have you learned that no peace is
possible but one founded upon the trI.
umph of democracy?
Germany's faithlessness to her
treaty agreements in Belgium has had
its sequel in her deceit in Russia. Ger.
mans frightfulness is the deliberate
policy of autocracy in it's design to en-
slave the world. All pretenses of lib
eral reforms have been drowned In
| the rising lust for world-conquest.
Intoxicated by self love and ruthless
ambition the kaiser and his war lords
seek to bring all civilizations under the
reign of brute force. Nation after ma
ton has fallen their prey. If we are
to survive, that malign doctrine of
| might-makes-right must be destroyed
forever
Have you learned that you, too, can
fight in the battle for freedom?
Lend your money to the Liberty
Loans; give 1t to the Red Cross. Every
dollar lent the government helps equip
a soldier; every dollar to the Red
Cross succors him in his time of need.
l. you are a patriot you can no more
keep out of these "drives" than, if a
soldier, you could refuse to go over
the top into No Mans Land.
Dollars Are Soldiers.
Dollars are soldiers, too! Your dol
lars will fight to end the war: Each
private may think his own worth small
but all together they make an army.
Your dollar seems small, but if each

Gent backing.

Mr.. Bowser went out. He inter.

they didn't call him names. they
looked at him with amazement and
contempt that hurt his feelings
The builder went SO far as to saw
that he might as well buy out q iunk
