Must Sell Country
Butter by Pound

In the future all dealers and retail
ers OF country butter must sell II by
weight instead OF by the roll or print.
These instructions were received by
the county food administration n day
or two ago. The reason given is that
In many cases the prints or rolls In
which butter is made and delivered to
the market are found to weigh less
than le ounces. The new rule pro.
vides that country butter must be
bought and sold according to weight
and not by count.
A warning has been received from
the national food administration ap-
pealing to people everywhere not TO
let the recent peace talk interfere with
the conservation OF food, National
Administrator Hoover announces that
food conservation Is more essential
than ever now and that II will require
the combined efforts of the nation to
keep prices down within the reach OF
nil classes and TO maintain sufficient
supply OF all foodstuffs to supply the
demand. peace may not come for
some time" the food administrator
warns, land we must not relax in our
viligance In saving and conserving

German Hatred of
Italians in the War

Rome. Oct. 19.-Nobody need be sur
prised at the hatred shown by Ger
mans for Italians In their treatment
of prisoners of war. In order TO quiet
the discomfort In Austria resulting
from famine the war lords ordered
Vienna to press the advance in Italy
al all costs and force the capituiation
Of Venice. but the Italians proved TO
be the masters. They drove the Ger
mans beyond the Piave with heavy
losses. They drove them to the noun.
tains and pushed them back all along
the line.
The German war lords ordered
their Turko Bulgarian vassnls TO cross
Albania. but the Italians stopped
them In another massacre and re-
pulsed them with heavy losses aud
several miles OF territory.
When the Italians drove the Aus
trians beyond the Piave In June the
war lords thought they could quiet
public opinion In Germany and Aus
tria by an advance on the Western
front and blow at Rheims. Again
they were blocked and unable to pass
because the Italians protected Rheims
flanked by French. British and Amer
lean troops. The hand of fate had
chosen the Italian army to defend
Rheims.
Thus. three times In the last three
months. the Germans saw their plans
frustrated and reduced to nothing by
the Italians.
The Italian army has thousands cl
Doldiers on every front where fghtins
goes ON. They are defending Rheims
and fighting beside the Americans in
Picardy. Other thousands are ad
vancing with the British in Palestine
More than s5o.ooo have crossed ths
Adriatic and thrown the German
hordes back.
Nobody can marvel. therefore. that
the Germans hate us with a deadl,
hatred. Italy is no small part OF ths
Entente.

FREMONT CO.
SUBSCR|BES
full QUOTA
/ F0uRIhL0AN

The Daily Record Is pleased to an
Hounce that Fremont county has sub
scribed its full quota Of $465.250 to
the Fourth Liberty Loan. and is again
entitled to have It's name emblazoned
% the honor roll OF the state. The
sf OF the bonds apportloned to this
County were sold today, and all who
are interested In the success of the
greatest financial enterprise ever un-
dertaken here have right to rejoice
in the victory that has been achieved
The completion of the campaign with
its splendid result will be heraided to
the people of Canon City by the fire
whistle mt the plant Of the Arkansas
Valley Railway. Light and Power
Company at O'Clock this evening.
The sound of the whistle will be a
declaration OF the patriotism OF the
people Of Fremont county and OF their
devotion to liberty and the rights of
man in all parts OF the world.
The raising of 80 large sum OF
money. even for so great cause,
seemed almost insuperable when the
campaign began. and at times since
then the outlook for success was dis
couraging. but the loyalty OF the peo-
pie to the demands OF the government
ressserted itself. and triumph came
at last Too much credit for the mag
nifsrent outcome of the undertaking
cannot be giveneto Maj. d. N Cooper
and his subordirates In the Liberty
Loan army. The organization WIS
splendid one. and everybody connected
with II from the major to the precinct
lieutenant worked hard and vaiiantly
for it's success. They are entitled 10
their full need OF honor and their la.
bors are not without It's reward In the
appreciation of grateful public.
In this loan the people of Fremont
county have taken nearly sseo.coo
worth OF the governments securities.
In the preceding Liberty loans the
amount in the aggregate was much
larger. II Is safe to say that nearly
10000 people In this county. or ap
proximasely onc-half Of thea. have
purchased Liberty Loan. bonds since
the government asked the people of
the United States to invest and earn
and save their money for this pur-
pose More emphatic evidence OF
their patriotism could not be given.
or more eloquent tribute paid TO their
loyalty rs citizens OF the republic.
The indications are today that the
entire loan OF $1,000. 100000. the iarg-
est ever undertaken by any govern
ment for any purpose. has been taken
by the people of the United States. II
