she was not pretty. And she was SO
thin that even her gimp failed to hide
bones that no self-respecting crow
would care to pick.
The really surprising thing about
her was that she should be riding in
a street car when her place was so
obviously behind her chauffeur in a
machine that cost as much as house.

talk about babies. He said that he
knew babies had a good deal more
sense than folks gave them credit for.
AS proof of this he declared that his
brother-in-law, whom, of course, never
had heard of before, and don't know
now, had a two-year-old lad who was
lust as smart as anybody. Yes, sir,
when the soldiers went into the army,
more than a year ago, the baby bid
him good-by, and the other day. when
the soldier came back, that baby knew
him ripht away. As to the war-Say,

the attention of passengers near by, as
any foreign tongue will. There is al
ways something tantalizing in hear
ing someone talking brightly while you
yourself are utterly unable to under
stand a thing that persons says.
Persons on the car listened, but
very few, indeed, were able to under
stand a word. Women looked Curl
ously at each other, and would have
paid another fare, I'll bet, to have been
able to understand what the French

hundred dollars. That it was not
a matter of choice now, but wise
measure. She wrote it and became
somewhat docile.
She came out on the porch and
with the Stars and Stripes wrapped
about her head and in the presence
of that crowd of hundreds of men
and women, she made this solemn
pledge: 81 give this hundred dollars
for the defense of the flag and of the
boys across the waters. I will do my
duty hereafter without hesitation"
On this declaration being made,
Mr.. Mexican acted as spokesman and
asked the crowd if it should be ac-
cepted and the crowd said Eyes"
A committee was sent to a member
of the Council of Defense to learn
about another party whom the crowd
was about to visit, but that member
assured the committee that the man
had satisfied him that he would do
his duty and the crowd accepted the
report and quietly adjourned.

board, between a. m. and p. m.
on Wednesday, June 5, 1918.
1t is necessary to go to the regis
tration place in person. Any man
who expects to be absent from home
on Wednesday, June 5, 1918, should
go at once to the office of the local
board where he expects to be and
have his registration card filled out
and certified. He must then mail
this card to the office of the local
board having jurisdiction of the place
wherein he permanently resides, and
in view of the fact that this card
must be received by his home local
board on or before June 5, it is es-
sential that anyone who expects to
be away from home on that date ar
range for his registration immediate
ly.
Anyone who is sick on June 5 and
unable to be present himself in per-
son at the Office of the local board may
send some competent friend, who
may be deputized by the clerk to
prepare his card.
Any person in doubt as to where
he should register should consult the
local board in the place where he
permanently resides, or he may OBJ
tain the information desired from the
office of the mayor if he lives in a
city of 10000 population or over, or
in the Office of the county clerk or
parish clerk if he does not live in a
city of 10000.
1t is not to be anticipated that
many ell be delinquent. 1t is hoped
that none will be, but for those who
do fail to perform their duty Con-
gress has provided very heavy pen
atty. Failure to register on June
constitutes a misdemeanor punish
able by Imprisonment for one year,
in the loss of valuable rights and
privileges and immediate induction
into military service.

paint.
Another thing from Mrs. Scott had
very bad effect on the crowd, it was
when she yelled, eve paid $4,000
income tax, but not one cent to the
Red Cross"
By the time the photographers got
there Wednesday morning, so much
of the paint had been cleared away
that the photos do not show the real
condition. Mr.. Tierny donates the
receipts of thousand of them to the
Red Cross. Mr.. Withers will prob
ably do likewise.
All those of pro-German tenden-
cies art in bad place just now as
this matter has worn on the nerves
of Americans who are for the coun-
try and the government, until there
is more to come. Betttr get right.

recall when he has been in Liberal
when it did not rain. The rain cut
down the attendance somewhat, but
in spite of the fact the convention
went on with the same vigor and in
terest as it started with.
The Superintendent Conference
and the discussion of country and
city problems were the main items
of interest in the afternoon, and the
round table discussion on the ele-
mentary, secondary and adult divis-
ions, together with Rev. E. A.
Henry's address on Teachers Train
ing" were the outstanding features
of the Afternoon session.
The last session of the convention
was, as usual, the best, in the minds
of nearly all attending. That mas
terful address of E. A. Henry on
Reconstruction, the Challenge of
the Church in the Present Crisis"
was worth many miles of travel to
hear, and those who missed it are
the poorer for it.
The report of the County Secre-
tary, Harvey =. FRANKLIN, showed an
increase in numbers in the Sunday
school attendance of the county, to-
gether with an increase in evangelis-
tic work in the schools. The work
of the association is in very salts
factory condition in nearly every
way. His report also showed all bills
paid and money left in the treasury.
In remembrance of the many years
of faithful service of the association
of the former secretary, N. L. Falls,
who is now at Winfield, Kansas, the
convention voted to instruct the pres
ident and secretary to send to Mr..

ton for his work.

PAINTED YELLOW

A crowd of some five hundrer men
and women went to the home of Mrs.
C. /. Scott on north Main street,
Tuesday night and smeared yellow
paint all over the place. They paint
ed in great yellow letters the word
Stacker" near the top of the house.
They put it over the front door, they
wrote it on the walks, they smeared
the walls with grotesque figures, they
painted on the corner of the house
Skull and cross bones" they, in fact,
did plenty to the place.
Mrs. Scott has for a long tome
been against the government in her
remarks and refusing to pay into the
funds being raised for the assist
ance of war measures. The Second
ward committee called at her place
Tuesday and filed card for fifty
dollars for the present Red Cross
fund and left it with her husband.
When she saw it she tore it into frag-
ments. The committee went back la
ter in the day to see her and she
talked very insulting to them, called
the people who are fighting, for every
measure for the support of the boys
at the front and our country, "dirty
dogs" and other mean things were
said as she could think of them.
Then she mailed check for $500
to the committee and it was promptly
mailed back to her. When the crowd
had done some smearing of paint she
thought she must do something, but
she was still defiant and mean, she
wrote another check, this time for
| $4,000 and very unwisely, as she
handed it to Ben, Barnes who was
near her, said, stake it and go to hell
with it." He promptly tore it into
small pieces. That came near being
the cause Of her seeing her finish. 1t
was more than the average American
who was already strung up to the
limit Of forbearance could well en-
dure. Things picked up.
About this time DR.. Lydia Lott
ridge and Walter Munich went in the
house by way Of the back door and
told Mrs. Scott it was time to put up

ANNUAL CONVENTION SEW
ARD COUNTY S. S. ASSN.

The annual convention of Sunday
school workers of Seward county was
held in Liberal, May 81 and %. The
Convention was opened Monday af-
ternoon at 2:30 p. m. by President R..
M. Heath, on time, as is the custom.
The afternoon was spent in rehears-
ing the successes and failures in the
different lines of work by those in
charge. All realized that there might
have been more accomplished but felt
that the work in general was coming
along nicely. The address by State
Secretary ]. H. Engle on Current
Sunday School Perils was very help
full to all interested in the Sunday
school of today, and those present
will be encouraged to 60 back home
and take new start.
The opening session of the conven-
ton was above the average in attend
ance and interest. There were elev-
en- schools represented at the first ses-
sion, out of a total of eighteen
schools in the county, which is I'M
usual for the first session of the con-
vention.
The evening of the first day was
opened by the choir under the leader
ship of Frank C. Smith, followed by
two very masterful addresses, one by
Rev. A. E. Henry on fundamentals
of the Church School," and the other
by J. H. Engle on "The Sunday
School Skyline" both of which were
uplifting and instructive.
Tuesday morning, as is the old
time custom when Engle comes to
Liberal, it was raining, that fine rain
which we have been looking for for
so many days. Engle says he cannot

THE NEW REGISTRATION

The Secretary of War authorizes
the following:
With the signing by President Will
son of the bill and proclamation de-
signaling Wednesday, June 5, as the
day on which all men who have
reached the age of Fl since last June
5, shall register for military service,
Provost Marshal General 'Crowder's
Office Immediately began prepara-
tions for the enrolment of the men.
Instead of using the election ma
chinery as was done last year, Gen.
Crowder will call upon the local
boards. 1t is believed that their ex-
perience during the past year has
particularly fitted them to handle the
new registration economically and eff
ficiently.
Gen. Crowder has estimated that
probably three-quarters of million
men will be added to the American
Army by the new registration. His
estimate is based on the fact that al
most 100000 men registered last
year. This number included all be-
tween the ages of Fl and 81, and sta
tistics collected by Gen. Crowder's
Office show that at little more than 10
per cent of these men were FL years
old. On that basis it is estimated by
draft officials that the total registra-
ton will exceed 100000, of which
100000 will be available for military
service. This makes proper allow
ances for physical detectives, exemp-
tons because of dependents, and
other bars to military service.
The law provides that every young
man in the United States who has
reached the age of 81 years since
June 5, 1917, or will reach the age
on or before June 5, 1918, must reg
istsr. The only exceptions are in the
cases of men who are actually in ac-
tive military or naval service. All
male persons, citizens or aliens, born
between June 5, 1896, and June 5,
1897, inclusive, except officers and
enlisted men of the regular army,
navy, and marine corps, and the ma
tional guard and naval militia, while
in federal service, and officers in the
officers reserve corps and enlisted
men in the enlisted reserve corps
while in active sedvice, must register.
Some misunderstanding has been
caused by the publication of reports
that medical and divinity students
need not register, and Gen. Crowder
has issued the following statement:
Divinity students and students OF
medicine must register. Under the
terms of the law signed by President
Wilson on Monday students who were
preparing for the ministery in recog-
nized theological or divinity schools
and students who were preparing for
the practice of medicine and surgery
in recognized medical schools on May
20, 1918, are exempt from the draft.
However, the law does not relieve
such students from the duty of reg
istering on Wednesday, June 5. Reg
istration comes first, exemption af-
forwards. 1t is absolutely necessary
that all students register.
The registration will be held in the
{ office of the local board having juris-
diction of the area wherein the per-
son to be registered permanently re-
sides, or in such other place as by
public notice designated by the

that there are trillion suns, in adj

County Consolidation
Creates Wide Interest

Ia response to our invitation Tor
views regarding the consolidation
of Clear Creek and Gilpir counties,
comes tue following enthusiastic
letter from j. II. Ireland, who is
well known here:
Las Vegas, \. NJ. Dec, II, 1918.
Editor Siftings- News;
Idaho Springs, Colo.
Dear Sir:
Having read the communications
in your paper advocating the con
soIidation Of Clear Creek and Gill
pin counties, and your invitation
for expressions from business men
and taxpayers, | write, though |
live in New Mexico.
Having lived in Idaho Springs
and been in business there for
nearly twenty years, | have always
cherished warm spot in my heart
for that place. | still retain my
realty and some mining property
in Clear Greek county, and | feel
the heavy burden of high taxes.
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties
Joined would make a small county
compared to others in Colorado.
Why would it not be a good plan
to call a meeting of the mining
men. business men and heavy tax
PAYERS. to meet at an early date,
say in Idaho Springs as it is
centrally located and easily ac-
cessible from both counties? Have
the question thoroughly discussed
from economical, beneficial and
legal standpoints, and if consolida-
tion is good, economical and logical,
by all means let us go to work inn
mediately for it, remembering that
"the greatest good to the greatest
number" is the slogan that will
win.
While heavy burdens of taxa
:ion exist, outside capital will
surely pass US by, prohibiting the
development of mines that might
be made large asset to the county
In my annual or semi annual
visits to idaho Springs. | have felt
that something could and should
be done to stimulate mining and
everything else that would be fol
the benefit of the community in
general, and of Idaho Springs in
particular. | have never lost the de-
sire to return to Idaho Springs, and
consequently feel "a great interest
in anything for its improvement
If this consolidation is good, !
hope you will keep the question
alive and push it along to win
| am, truly yours,

Road Above GeOrget'n
will Have Easy Grade

At last the steep climb out OF
Georgetown toward Silver Plume
is to be overcome by the building
of about three -fourths of a mile OF
new road on an eight ht-percent
grade. 1t is to be built with
money appropriated by the state
highway commission and the board
of county commissioners.
Since the coming Of the auto,
this piece of road has been a great
detriment to Silver Plume d its
mining industry, as few cars We're
able to make the grade, and parties
wishing to look over mines of the
district often SAID, "W hat 5 the
use?'
Aside from the mining industry
of Silver Plume, this road leads
to one of the most picturesque
trips to be found anywhere in the
mountains OF Colorado, toward the
old Loveland Pass road to Lead
vile Here was the first road to
that famous camp, and in the early
eighties Nas Travelled more than
any other in Colorado. In this
respect, history will repeat itself,
as for some time plans have been
under way to rebuild it for auto
travel, shortening the distance
from Denver to Leadville by over
100 miles, passing through one of
the richest mineral districts of the
American continent, via Idaho
Springs, Georgetown, 5 liver
Plume, Montezuma. Dillon, Frisco,
Breckenridge, Climax, Alma and
Fairplay.
1t can be stated truthfully that
along this route are hundreds of
square miles of mineral territory
yet undeveloped, but which con-
tain thousands of known leads and
many deposits of various characters
of ore.
In addition, this road would give
an outlet for the farm products of
the Blue river district and the
South Park.
Officials of Clear Greek, Sum-
mt, Eagle and Lake counties are
lined up with the state highway
commission and the forestry de-
partment for this practical project.
Assistance has been asked from
congress, and is under considera-
ton by that honorable body.
W. Fl. Stephens of this city is
road representative for Clear Greek
county, and M. G. O. Galloway of
Breckenridge represents the west
ern slope.
The building of the piece of road
out of Georgetown is but the be-
ginning of this very important
/ highway, which will be a great
asset to this county and, in a gen.
eral way, to the state.
