GROCERY STORES
TO CLOSE SUNDAY

Food conservation has clutched an
other tradition of long standing and
made it give in to modern win-the-war
methods.
Beginning with September 1, all
grocery stores. meat markets, delica-
lessen stores, bakeries and other retail
stores handling groceries, meats, bak-
cry goods, delicatessen, dairy or farm
products will close on Sundays, and
after o'clock on Saturdays and 6
o'clock other days of the week and
holidays.
This ruling does not include shops
in which ice creams, candy and fresh
milk are sold.
The Sunday closing plan Of the
United States food administration has
been endorsed almost unanimously by
all the retail dealers in Colorado. That
this measure will not only conserve
food. but man power, equipment. fuel,
gasoline and oil is the feeling Of high
state food officials.

At the Primary Election Sept. 10.
Thousands of the brainiest business
men in America are devoting all Of
their time, without salaries or remu-
nerations of any kind, to war work.
These men we're placed in the harness
because they were the type of men
who had enough business experience
to do the big things that the nation
needed done to assure victory.
No man in the state of Colorado has
better knowledge of conditions un-
der which all classes of our people
work and live than Mr.. Phipps. He
has devoted more of his own time and
money to the advancement OF public
welfare and human happiness than
any other man in the state. He did it
because he believes that men Of
wealth should share their happiness
with those who need 1t.
Mr.. Phipps has always refused to
accept any political honor in the past.
and would not accept the honor OF be-
coming Colorado's United States sem
ator now, even II he were the choice
Of both political parties. unless he was
convinced by his friends that his ex-
ceptional special business training
was needed in Washington at this

nearer to the right kind of representa-

COLORADO NEEDS
LAWRENCE PHIPPS
IN WASHINGTON

We owe it as duty to our nation and
our own state to select as our United
States senator man who has enough
business ability to help the nation
solve the serious problems now facing
us. He should be man who will
serve the entire 100 per cent of the
people of Colorado and the nation un-
selfishly.
We need a man who believes that,
until this war which the world is now
fighting for democracy is won, the
greatest business of the nation is to
win the war" in the shortest possible
time and that politics and personal
profit and ambitions must be set aside
until victory is perched on Americas
banner.

is turning out fighting ships here to-
day. At the Squantum works of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation he
was conducted to the slips in which
Law the keel blocks only. Under the
guidance of veteran shlpbuilder he
laid the keels of five oestloyers al
most simultaneously, to the cheering
Accompaniment Of the entire shipbulld-
ing force.
Fifty minutes later Mr.. Daniels re.
turned to find that, where there had
been gaping voids, stood the steel
framework of five destroycrs actually
in position. 1t was an object lesson
of what American shipbuilders are
capable, and Secretary Daniels was
obviously pleased at the feat. =
The great Squantum yard rises where
few months ago was quagmlre. IL
is one Of the most completely equipped
n NJ in the world. Even the slipways
are covered in up to the water edge:
Previously the Secretaryhad attended
the launching of a destroyer at the
Fore River plant Of the same company,
two miles away from the Squantum
yards.
The Secretary came here on tour of
inspection of these yards, escorted by
Joseph W. Powell, vice-president OF
the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company.
Mr.. Daniels appeared tremendously
Impressed, Off the yard he knew, when
last he visited Quincy, had $500 men
at work. To-day it had 10000.
Praises Effort of Labor
After the destroyer had been
launched the shipbuilders called on
Mr.. aDniels for a speech.
"The most gratifying thing ABOUT
this war;" he said, "is that the bulk
of the men of all callings have been
ready to make whatever sacrifices the
authorities have asked them to make.
There has been hearty response by
the American people in all directions.
The spirit of America IS that there
will be no profiteering and no tolera-
ton of slackers either in the military
service, in munition plants. IN the
shipvards or anywhere else. The men
who are turning out destroyers and
munitions are just as brave as men
who are at the front. unless thelr
courage and willingness makes sac
rifice to furnish the implements OF, OF

"The greatest disappointment of the
Kaiser has not been the failure of the
H.hoat warfare to starve our allies, al
though that was keen disappointment
The greatest disappointment was the
falling down of the we'll planned propa-
canda to foment social revolution in
America. The greatest disappointment
of all is that the efforts OF his pald

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Under the
classification of men FOR selective draft
service, Provost Marshal General Crow
der has advised the Senate Military
Committee approximately 100000 will
be placed in Class /, from which it is
expected all future calls will be taken.
These 100000, according to General
Crowder, are exclusive of between
100000 and 100000 moro annually,
which number, it is estimated, will be
made subject to military duty under
the bill now in Congress subjecting to
registration youths reaching their ma

From the 100000 IN Glass NEARLY
20 per cent OF the total registration

number secured ny new legislation,
General Crowder has advised Senators
that it would be improbable that calls
will go outside of the highest class.
Of youths reaching twenty-one years
Of age, under the new legislation, it is
believed that at least 90 per cent would
be placed in Glass /.
Plans for the new draft, General
Crowder has advised the Senate com
mittee, are somewhat unsettled by the
House amendment tn the Senate bill
changing the basis of quotas from state
Glass 1, which would give credits to
states for all men previously fur
nished, by voluntary enlistment or
draft.
Operation of the House amendment,
according to General Crowder, would
