KEEP YOUR CHICK

New Food Administration requests
10 poultry producers are to withhold
al immature chickens and mounting
hens from the market; to keep laying
hens and best pullets; and. instead Of
overcrowding the market during the
holiday season with poultry, to extend
the market into January and Febru
airy.
Every pound of poultry gained BY
holding chickens till they are mature
ADDS that much more to dwindling
meat supply.
The benefit to the world is more
rood; the benefit to the consumer.
iresh-killed poultry in mid-winter: the
benefit to the producer, stabilized
market.
The same recommendation urges
mat young turkeys especially be al
iowed to live through the late fall bug
hunting season until they get their
winter thatch OF feathers. At this
rne they fatten quickly, so that a
young gobbler that weighs ten pounds
IN October will weigh thirteen in De-
cember.

Colorado's Democracy can point,
with the entire approval of the voters,
to its wonderful record on war financ-
ing. The special session of the Leg
islature provided for an issue OF war
bonds amounting to two and one-half
millions But actually only $780,,
of these bonds have been issued. To
provide money for interest and to re-
tire these bonds just and equitable
tax on domestic and foreign corpora
tions was levied. This tax, while suf-
ficient, is small enough so that there
Ia no considerable objection to it. And
the returns from this corporation tax
have already called in and paid off
$125,OOO of the $S50,0OO bond issue In
ten years this corporation tax will
meet the interest on and retire all of
the bonds. Thus this war tax falls on
the corporations, where 1t will be felt
the least. 1t entirely saves the small
taxpayer who otherwise might have
felt 1t most All this constitutes a
most remarkable and worthy Demo
cratic accomplishment.

tional statement yet issued to the
American people by the Food Admin

II is printed in matter-of.fact black

tional language. II Is one simple state
ment of fact after the other.
But 1t calls for the greatest sacri-
flee. the greatest conservation effort

SHAFRoTH PATRIOTISM
EULOGIZED BY WILSON

The following note from President
graceful tribute to the service of the
three Shafroth boys in the present
war.
A canvass of the United States Con.
gress made by the officers of the Con-
gressional Club referred to below
showed that the Shafroth family led
all the rest in the number of sons In
actual service.
The graceful recognition of the pa.
triotism of the Shafroth family by
President Wilson surely will find cor.
dial response by the voters of Colo.

Among all the men in public life

The following letter, written by Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait, president OF the
National American Woman Suffrage

chairman National Democratic wom-

suffragists of the nation regard the
service rendered by Senator Shafroth

His acquaintance with the Senate, his
knowledge of procedure and senatorial
usage have made his services to our
cause of unqualified value.

Some of the Red Cross chapters are
making hospital slippers for con.
valescent soldiers of scraps of linoleum
and wornout trousers of heavy wool
cloth. 1t is remarkable the way In
which the war is teaching people how
to utilize things that used to so to
waste. The soles of the slippers are
cut from the bits of linoleum, the fig
ured side to be the outside. The
Gnoleum may be somewhat the worse
for wear and still be used for these
slipper soles. The uppers are cut
from. the good parts of worn trousers.
They are made in different sizes and
shapes. Directions for cutting tlfem
can be obtained through the Red Cross
chapters. Soft insoles such as are
used for bedroom slippers or insoles
of warm fabrics make them more COM
Portable. Our casualty lists are grow

much larger. Every woman will be

Among the high-priced furs that may
be regarded as really safe and good
investment, Russian sable and mink
have placed themselves firmly in the
minds Of women, as unquestioned.
They are about as secure as a gov
ernment bond and must inevitably in
crease in price, since the increase In
wealth and in demand for fine furs
.outstrips that in available pelts. Even
in these times women do not regard
the finest furs as luxury and do not
anticipate that their price will be low
cred after the war. Furriers sell
readily all the skins they have bought
and made up and wish there were
more of them.
In selecting garments made Of ex-
pensive skins 1t is best to pick out
the most conservative designs offered
by dealers--so that the style will be
good from year to year. Fine furs,
like jewels, do not need to change with
the changing modes, if they do not
belong too palpably to one season. The
long, graceful and very beautiful cape
shown in the illustration Is the sort
of garment that may be worn year in
and year out. 1t has yoke in which
the skins run horizontally, Joined to a
body with skins in which the dark
markings run up and down. There are
slashes in each side through which the
arms slip when the cape is fastened
up the front. This is a magnificent
cape-made Of sable or mink-it Is n
treasure to outlast lifetime and is
to be cared for as BELTS its character.
Small capes or scarfs. with muffs to
match, in the best furs. lend an air of
elegance to the costume that will al
ways be n satisfaction to their wear
ers. A little neckpiece Of ermine casts
luster of splendor about it.. 1t is the
power of suggestion more than their
warmth that makes rich furs desirable
In the eyes Of women-to whom Tenny-
son assures us splendor is dear.
There are certain beautiful but
short-lived fuys that are for those
whose resources make generous allow
