exclamation.
If there had been no robbery-if the
professor had the letters-if he meant
extortion, then he had a great advan
tage and meant to use it. What could
be done to stop him?
Beverly Dare was Il young man OF
twenty-five, who had graduated as q
lawyer and hung out his single in
the town. Up to date he had had but
few clients and created no stir. He
was spoken of as Il nice young man
who would make his way. but was not
much given to society. Miss Florence
Gale had never met him to be intro
duced. But she went to him for help.

explained.

She had been 4 silly girl. She had
been more than that, and as the pen

blackmaiIer. She told all there was
to tell, and then handed over the pro-
fessOr's letter
do you want advice as to whether
you shall pay the 5000 or not?" was
asked when the letter had been read.
Il couldn't pay it if I wanted to. and
I'm sure l don't want to-" she replied.

The lawyer turned away TO smile,
and then turned back to say:

ship of Prof. Goldsmith, take the mat.
ter IN hand and rid our fair. city OF
the horrid pests, which are really the
only damper to our enthusiasm in
proclaiming Gunnison the finest sum-
mer resort in the land.
Prof. Goldsmith had traced the mos
quito to its lair, and was convinced
that countless swarms of the larve OF
'wlggletails" came down in the ditch
water direct from the main river.
These back into eddys and side bitches
and overflow ponds and there hatch
out. The general plan was to dry
the bitches one or two days a week,
and on days while water was running
from the main at the side ditch near
the Normal, to float a very thin scum
Of oil on the surface. Not enough TO
be noticeable or injure vegetation. but
what was believed would do the busi-
ness.
of course, the matter was some
what of an experiment, but not much
either, for the MOSQUITO problem is
now pretty well understood. Hundreds
Of cities in the south are being entirely
freed from the pests. When they can
be controlled in such sections as the
Panama Canal zone, surely q reason
able experiment will solve the problem
here.
1t would be worth thousands of dol
ars to nd our city of mosquitoes for
even one summer. Too bad. that some
in authority thought it wasn't worth
while.

HERE Is AN IDEA-BUSINESS

saved thru the aid of the business men
in local towns. When il was realized
that tn potato crop would be lost un-

Safe Extension Director, cooperating
with the farm-help specialist of the

the situation to the business men. who
closed their offices and stores, went
to the farms and worked with the po-
tato growers in harvesting their crop.
Such cooperation is meaning much,
not only for the increasing of the food
supply of the nation, but is breaking
down the barrier that in many cases
has existed between town and country,
according to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Business men and farm

This article Is published to give some
idea Of the farm labor situation in
Colorado in relation to the United
Stairs Boys Working Reserve.
At this date, the situation appears
to be: In agricultural communities
at least outside of the cities as large
as Colorado Springs and Pueblo, most
boys enrolled in the reserve have al
ready found places upon the farms, or
will have such places soon.
In the city Of Denver. however, and
in Colorado Springs and Pueblo, TO
some extent. here are boys enrolled
who have not found places. Something
Ike 1900 boy have been enrolled in
D"uyrr. for example, fewer than half
Ut whom have been placed.
The United States Bows Working
Reserve was organized to meet the
needs Of tho farms and the industries
for labor no, primarily to get jobs for
tn' boys There appears, indeed, to
b" no lack OF places for boys in the
cities. places they would willingly
take. but they have enrolled in the Re
serve. believing that by working to in
Crcas" and conserve the food supply,
they could best help America to win
tho war.
Reports morr or less tentative from
Gamers and fruit growers indicate that
by the first or middle of July there
may be- need for all who are enrolled
in the Reserve. But schools close
cary IN June, or before and boys cam
not wait for these jobs with Gamers
and fruit growers when places at home
are offered them. while work on the
farms and canneries is a month away
and uncertain at that.
To three hundred letters sent to
farms in one county asking if there
would be need for boys upon the farm,
but thirty replies were received. Yet,
at a meeting of the State Committee
of the [. S. Boys Working Reserve,
with representatives of the canneries
held recently in Denver, several of the
field men stated that they believed
there are places for boys on the farms
in counties adjacent TO Denver, if he
facts could be known Experience Of
the Rotary Club Farm Labor bureau
last year, moreover, was that there1
was considerable demand for boys for
haying in June.
If the need for boys on the farms is
a condition and not a theory, and i'll
this need cannot be supplied by the
force of boys available in the farming
counties, county director of the L. S.
Boys Working Reserve should list the
places where the boys are needed now
or will be needed later, and notify at
once the Federal Director of the Re-
serve at the Capitol in Denver.
In view of the urgent need of labor
in the city as well as in the country,
boys enrolled in the Reserve who have
not found places on the farms, cannot
be advised to refuse other work.
A large number of boys are waiting
for jobs, many of them with some ex-
perience on farms and others who are
receiving training now in handling of
teams, plowing, discing, running trac-
tors, and other forms of farm work.
