WORK OF THE WINDS,
RAIN AND HAIL

The past week has made up for
all the lack of rain during the past
spring and summer months.
Heavy rains, severe hail, and high
winds have all visited various parts.
washing out bridges and approaches,
moving down the unharvested crops,
and blowing roofs from buildings and
making things otherwise unpleasant.
Saturday and Sunday heavy rains in
the Wild Cat tok out the approaches
10 the bridge on the direct road to
Morgan and made it necessary to go
SIX miles east to the Cole crossing
to visit the city south. ~
Hail has destroyed crops in var
ious localities, and report says that
the wind last evening took the roof
from Dugan and Roth's store in
Stoneham and allowed the storm To
work considerable damage on the
goods.
In fact hardly day passes that
In some direction, storms have not
done damage; in the mean time, the
ground is gathering up the moisture
that gives promise of abundant har-
vest next year when 1t may be needed
more. than 1t is this year.

new BEEF RULES
MEET APPROVAL

THE new meat regulations are not
only the most successful ones we
have had UP to the present time, but
hotel and restaurant men of the state
seem to find them very satisfactory,
declared e. E. Lucas, head Of the
hotel and restaurant division of the
U. s. Food Administration.
Though the new regulations have
been In effect less than two weeks, II
Is estimated that practically all of the
public eating places In Colorado have
Designated to tho hotel division their
choice Of midday or evening meal.
The prohibition Of service Of beef
does not extend to beef by-products,
such as sweetbreads, brains, tongue,
liver, heart. and so forth. Neither is
1t violation to serve mutton, veal or
pork at any meal any day.
The definite amount of meat saved
under the new regime will not be de-
termined until after August /, when
the July consumption for 1918 will be
compared with that OF July 1917

YEAR BOOK TELLS
OF COLORADO

The first Year Book ever prepared
by the state Of Colorado has just been
completed by the State Board of I'M
migration and is now ready for dis
tribution. Free copies are to be sent
to public libraries, county comhnis-
sioners, educational institutions, etc.
but owing to the heavy cost Of pro-
duction, general free distribution to
the public Is impossible. The book
will be furnished at actual cost to
any who desire 1t. which is estimated
at 40 cents per copy. 1t contains
more information relative to the
state than does the Year Book of any
other state in the Union.
Subjects such as area, population.
county and town finances. education
al statistics, highways, railroads, tel
eph0ne and telegraph mileage, bank
statistics, per capita figures and a
wide variety Of other information
are treated by counties In sixty-four
statistical tnbulations covering PIP
items Of information Twenty-Five
tables cover 1876 lines OF information
for each OF the 63 counties of the
state. The land of the state has been
classified carefully by counties and
considerable space has been given to
crop production and to information
concerning homesteads, national for
ests and similar subjects.
In addition, the book contains sep
crate county stories giving authori-
tative information concerning each
county. Another feature is the loca-
tion and altitude of more than three
hundred mountain peaks and many
lakes and mountain passes, together
with table showing the distances of
cities and towns from Denver.
II Is impossible to enumerate in a
reasonable space the entire contents
OF the book, but 1t has been pro
nounced by the Governor and other
competent authorities to be the most
complete work of its kind ever at
tempted by the state.

PLAN TO ATTEND
THE CHAUTAUQUA

You should not forget that the
tine for the Raymer Chautauqua is
near at hand.
The ladies will be selling tickets,
and you should arrange to take in all
three days with every member of
your family The single attractions
win only be fifty cents each, and
there will be six OF them, three af-
ternoons and three evenings
You may not find all Of them ia
yorites, but should you wish to take
in all Of them. you can get season
ticket giving admittance to all perfor-
mances for $3.50.
This makes the season ticket much
the cheaper, even If you expect TO
take in only part of the entertain
ments.
On the success of the enterprise
this year depends the Likelihood of re-
peating the performance again next
year and having these summer
schools of information and education
become permanent feature Of the
Raymer country.

.RAYMER SHUTS OUT
PINE BLUFF FANS

Last Sunday Raymer's undefeated
baseball team journeyed to Pine
Bluffs and after very exciting and
strenuous game again came home
victorious de feating the Pine Bluffs
boys by the score of 4 to 0. Jerry
started TO do the Jumping" but after
three innings of work that sayored
OF ancient eggs. disgusting even to
the home team. he was yanked out
and replaced by Storey, an old pro-
fessional umpire and the game con-
tinued without further wrangling.
Fowler pitched steady game thru
out and kept his hits we'll scattered
but was helped out of several scrapes
by the lightning plays of his team
mates. Our boys scored two runs
in the opening stanza without a hit.
Pine Bluffs then frightened up and we
did not score again until the third
when home run walloped by Brow
ME added another and the final tally
came in the seventh on Gotfredson's
three base drive, scoring a moment
later on Wyatt's sacrifice fly to right.
Brown featured with the stick, his
home run being a long clean drive.
In the fifth Wyatt threw Fisher out
at the plate, chopping off the best
chance Pine Bluffs had for scoring,
this was easily the fielding feature.
Brown also played a steady game at
short, while caught very good
good game. Hall. for the opposing
team pitched great ball and had he
been accorded the support given our
man the score might have been diff
ferent He is by far the best mound
artist our boys have faced this sea-
son and is good clean player and
made quite hit with our loyal root
ers, who were there fifty strong. The
umpiring of Storey also met with ap-
Ttopal by all players and fans.
The score.

ROOT BEER D, ALER
BREAKS SUGAR RULE

For refusing to declare the stock OF
sugar he had on hand on July /, and
for making later report which GOV.
cred only half Of his supply, Charles
Gordon. Of 1923 Seventeenth street,
Denver, has been ordered to close his
root beer establishment for thirty
days BY J. N. Bundick, chairman OF
the Sugar Division. and Thomas B
atearns, head Of the United States
Food Administration.
Gordon was given hearing before
food officials who not only ordered
him to suspend business for thirty
days, but also confiscated 500 pounds
Of sugar he had hidden away in an un.
used cask. The confiscated sugar will
be sold by the food administration and
the money obtained from the sale will
be turned over. to the Denver chapter
Of American Red Cross. The pro
ceeds. In this case, will amount to
about $1,000.
The soft drink brewer admitted his
guilt. and the only excuse he offered
was that he was saving the sugar
for rainy day"

ITALIAN FOOD SITUATION
GRAVE,

The food situation In Italy continues
to be very grave. The shortage most
conspicuous at present Is that Of
meat. In order to cope with this
shortage there have been in effect
since May IL three meatless days q
week. and on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday Of each week meat can
neither be served in public eating
places nor bought for home consump
tion. The price OF meat rose tre
mendously the past spring, and beef
is now ranging from ~ to SO cents
per pound, with veal '--~ ~ 20 70
cents q pound.

new SUGAR RESTRICTIONS IN
ENGLAND

Radical restrictions in the use of
sugar during the year beginning June
l, 1918, have been announced by the
British Ministry Of Food, with respect
to manufacturers other than the MAX
ers Of jam, condensed milk and beer.
The total quantity OF sugar which
may be used during the whole year
ending May 81. 1919, ia 25 per cent Of
the quantity used by these manufac.
turers in 1915. The order applies to
manufacturers Of sugar confectionery
and chocolate, pastries, biscuits, can
died peel and preserved and crystal
lized fruits. drugs and medicinal prep
arations. mineral waters, other bever-
ages Except beer and STOUT, or any
other product requiring sugar

HARVEST IS
NEARLY COMPLETED

The grain is nearly all In the
stack, the feed crops are booming,
breaking and summer titled land is
soaked to the limit OF Its capacity to
contain moisture, and the whole
country smiles at present prospects.
In spite OF a somewhat abbreviated
wheat yield.
The more conservative farmers. are
finding that their wheat crop this
year Is going to be better than they
thought possible six weeks ago. At
the same time. 1t will not be over
about half what the average yield
was last season.
The rains have Increased the cost
OF harvest to quite an extent, SO the
wheat farmer will find that his pro-
fits will be rather meager In this sec
tion.
In spite OF this inconvenience, the
rains have made the corn crop come
on like race-horse and there will be
lot Of corn in this section this year.
Indications the country over is that
the corn crop will be heavy, so the
price will probably be nearer to It's
value, making 1t probable that the
feeder can use it to advantage, unless
pork and beef should drop very de-
cidedly. and such drop Is not pro-
bable.
Any way we want to look at 1t, the
situation In this regard is gratifying.
While the returns for the wheat
crop are not going to be up to the
real early expectations, but even here
the situation is not as bad as some
feared 1t would be.
The season has brought again
warning to the farmer of this sec
tion, the need of thorough and scien-
tifc farming and the need of always
watching conditions that he may
meet the varying conditions that we
meet in this part OF the world In diff
ferent seasons.

Error IN VOTE

The Enterprise was In error last
week In giving the vote secured in
the Democratic Assembly by Messrs
Haworth and NortNnp for represen-
tatiye.
The vote was given us by member
Of the Assembly from memory, and it
''1t 'trange that he should not
recall the exact figures.
The vote as published by the Weld
County News was as follows
HawoTth PA
Northup-------- l52
This gives both Mr. Northup and
MIR. Haworth chance to 90 at the
primaries
The Weld County News states that
the delegates from various parts of
the county seemed disposed to place
the candidate in eastern part of the
county, dividing their vote quite ev-
enly between Haworth and Northup.
leaving the decision between the two
candidates to delegates from eastern
Neld county.
The contest is one in which The
Enterprise man as republican would
not be expected to give advice. II is
. matter for. our good democratic
friends to decide between themselves
On the other hand as a resident OF
his part of the country we are very
much ifterestcd In any candidate OF
any party that may be presented from
this end OF the county
Our readers are all familiar with
MIR. Northup and know his qnalifea-
lions for the position he seeks as well
as we do. and are probably better
qualified than we are to give him the
benefit OF honest and unprecedented
minds.
His friends believe that he has the
qualities that would make a splendid
legislator.

but those who know him best assure
US that this is our misfortune. He

SCHOOL BONDS
GET BIG VOTE

The school bonds received large,
vote than we expected they would
and We believe that many of those
who favored the bonds were surprised
by the number of voters favoring the
project
Only SIS votes were cast and OF
these "a favored the bonds and 54
were opposed to them. 1t was not q
heavy vote. but considering that the
day was in the midst of harvest at a
time when the weather had made
good harvest weather at decided pre-
MUM,
There has been expressed desir
on the part Of some to know how peo-
pie voted. or course this is not pcs
sible, A man is supposed to have Il
right to vote without asking permis
sion or giving information about his
intentions.
We think that the contest was CAR
rcd on in good nature for the most
part. II is inevitable in such ques
tons that some things are said that
would be better left unsaid, and we
viii let the fellow who is without
fault in this re- ard hunt for the err
lars made.
Tn the matter OF the site for the
aew building proposition the propo-
Rents OF the site Jared better. the

The difference in votes on the two
propositions is explained by the fact,
riat several whoh ad paid no school
tax could not vote on the bonds, but
could vte on the site, at leas. ",
could not discover any legal objection
to their voting. In addition, quite a
number did not vote on the site pro-
position.
After the votes were counted, a pc
tition was at once prepared, signed
and presented to the board asking
that an election be called to move the
Clark school house from its present
location on Section thirty-six to the
losation on sixteen of the same town
ship.
This election will be called for Au-
gust gath. notice of the same be-
ing found in another place in this
paper.
This is the proposition the board
wished Mr.. Deal to substitute for the
bond proposal in their visit to him.
II was not presented as their first
choice, but as a compromise meas
ure
1t has difficulties in its pathway. as
all proposals do, for we must all real
lie that under the best conditions, a
school organization and equipment
cannot be built in day; and that
here we lack great many favorable
conditions.
We mant to see this district get
united on it's school policy, and we
want to bear testimony to the earnest
desire OF our colleagues on the board
to harmonic all conflicting interests
and build up school system that
will best serve every child in every
part of the district.
II they have been led astray by the
Secretary, the people will have op-
portnnity to rectify this at another
election. or we may suggest that a
popular demand properly expressed
might secure his resignation before
such election.
We all want the best schools, and
we are all willing to pay all the taxes
necessary to secure them; but none of
us want TO waste dollar of the
school funds

D|SAPPROVES OF
Chain PLAN FOR
WAR STAMP SALE

Hartford, Feb. 14-An emphatic
stamp of disapproval has been placed
by Howell Cheney, state director Of
the National War Savings Committee,
on the endless chain" schemes which
are now entering Connecticut from
other states for the disposal of thrift
stamps and war savings certificates.
Mr.. Cheney in a statement issued
today that he did not regard this
method for the sale of stamps legiti-
mate, and that he would do all in his
power to discourage the sale Of
stamps by this plan. Mr.. Cheney will
call upon his entire organization
throughout the state in an effort to
stop the numerous chains which
are coming into Connecticut from
other states. "An endless chain
scheme is a bad proposition at all
times; it is especially bad as a means
of selling government securities" :"

TUSCANIA DEATH

Washington, Feb. 14-Cablegrams
are going forward to the American
embassy in London from the war de-

plete the list of Tuscania survivors
and untangle names which have been
garbled in transmission.
Latest advices to the department
continue to indicate that few more
American soldiers were lost than the
164 already reported buried in Scot
land. Reports place the American
dead at not more than 40, although
the list of saved is far from COM
plete. About 260 of those on she
passenger list still are Unaccounted
for, but the department has more
than 270 names of survivors it has
been unable to decipher. Some of
these are supposed to be applications
and some names of men of whom
there is no record.

ported, made by checking both Of

COMMONS RESUMES
DEBATE ON SPEECH

London, Feb. 13-The House of
Commons today resumed the debate
on the address in reply to the speech
from the throne. Discussion of for
eign and military affairs was dropped
temporarily for consideration of the
administration of the government at
home.
Herbert Samuel, formerly secre-
tary of state for home affairs, made
the opening speech on this subject.
Later in the day, however, the de-
cisions of the supreme war council
in Versailles, which now occupy the
minds of the people of England, will
be taken up again.
Richard Holt, Radical member from
the Hexham division of Northumber-
land, prepared an amendment to the
address, expressing regret that in
accordance with the decisions of the
supreme war council in Versailles,
propulsion of military effort is to be
the only immediate task of the gov
ernment" This amendment is sup
ported by number of Liberals and
Unionists.
Another amendment expresses re-
gret that action has not been taken
against newspapers which have pub
lished attacks on individual officers OF
higher commands.

In the last three days the Austrians
have engaged in vigorous actions
agains tthe new Italian line in the
Frenzela and the Bella valleys, where
important positions were wrested from
the Austrians a short time ago. The
enemy preceded his infantry attacks
by violent bombardments, but when
the Austrian infantrymen attempted
to pass forward, as tkSy did in the
Bella valley, by advancing into the
Selle and VaIlette woods, they came
under the fire of Italian light and
medium artillery and machine guns,
which compelled them to beat a re-
treat With enormous losses before
even reaching the Italian trenches.
The Austrians met with another and
equally severe shock in the Frenzela
valley yesterday.
In the course of this fighting Lieut..
RAMA, an aviator, !rought down two
enemy aeroplanes, increasing tha
number of his victories to 16.
