HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Secretary of the Treasury McAdco
urges the purchasers of Liberty LOAF
Bonds of both the First and Sectn,'
issues to hold fast to their bonds
They are the best investment in the
world.
The Secretary's statement was cali
ed forth by the fact that Liberty Bond
holders are being approached from
time f. TO by agents seeking to in
: &c item to part with their Liberty
Loan Bonds and take in exchange Sc
curities which in a number of cases
are of very questionable value, and
was prompted by the desire to protect
the bondholders against ill-adviseu
disposition of their bonds.
The Secretary expresses the hope
that every purchaser Of Liberty
Bond will realize that the only gen.
uine help that he gives his Govern.
ment is keeping his bond as an invest
ment so long as 1t is possible for hin.
TO do so. He states, however, that n .
just objection lies to the sale Of a
Liberty Bond where real necessity
exists for its sale.

ANNETTE FORD PITIES GIRLS
BORN AND BRED IN A
METROPOLI;

"Why do | pity the girls who are
born and bred In the cultured atmos

Ford, the charming and really bril-
liant prima donna of "The Princess
Pat" Company which comes to the
Washington Theater Monday, Febru-
airy II, for a matinee and night.
Because they are fed on sauce and
have none of the pudding of life. You
know sauce is not the best thing to
live on as a steady diet. 1t is not
the girls fault, but their loss, think,
when they are connoisseurs Of furs
land fashions at the age of II, but
know nothing of where to find the
first violet and primrose in spring,
or the last red haw tree in the fall.
They do not know where the mistle-
toe grows or how. They have never
spent hour alone drinking in the les
son of peace, of utter resignation, II
need be, that the hills and forests
have to teach And so they cannot be
blamed If all the pretty things OF life
are so abnormally big to them. Their
standards of comparison is wrong,
that's all But give them chance
with nature and see what happens
watched the miracle last summer up
I Lake Champlain.
Zone day, a bunch of pretty girls
rushed into the village store. They
had arrived at the camp only the
night before. They were faultlessly
dressed in white duck and fannels, so
picturesque for tennis court or shore.
Their hairs was dressed in the latest
fashion set by our most popular
dancer. They were evidently not ar
rived at the age of Is, but their mail
ners were, plainly bored. They piled
the country clerk with such ques-
tons: Dear me, don't you have any
dances here? Is there nothing 60
ing on in this burg? We are bored to
death. Nothing has happened all day.

tendance was rather small. Repre-
sentatives had been asked TO com

dent; Albert f Fox, Lamar. Secretary;
VI. W. Chuning, Granada. Treasurer;
Bert E. Sterrett, Bristol, Director;
Fred Williams. Wiley, Director; r. A
Iarboc, Lamar. Director.
The Farm Bureau is the officially
,pproved organization in general use
wherever county agent work is carried
IN, and in many counties not having
county agents.
The object as set forth in the con
iti.ution is as follows:
1.-THE object of this bureau is to CO
Iperate with the Colorado S ate c..
lege Of Agriculturc in Agricultural e,
tension work through theemployTnen;
i county agents and other local lead
ers and to assist such agents and
leaders in the work Of promoting the
agricultural development of Prowers
county so as to make farming moro
profitable and farming life more at
tractive. Also to assist the county
