The Value Of The Dollar.

The Importance of raising food
stuffs at home can not perhaps be
better accentuated than by quoting
figures prepared by Mr.. Arthur L. Lee
for the New York Times The dollar
on the day the war broke out as com
pared with the dollar of today in pur-
chasing capacity shows just a little
more than fifty-six per cent of its
value 1T that time. This means that
the dollar the farmer derives from
his crop buys for him just fifty-six
cents worth Of corn, bacon. floIr or
food-Stuffs as compared with the same
dollar that he would have had in 1914
Aside from the patriotic duty OF
helping to raise food crops at home.
from purely selfish standpoint the
man who can raise food-stuffs at home
ought to realize that his dollar has a
purchasing capacity today Of only
f1fty-six cents as compared with the
same dollar Of 1914. Mr. Lee in his
article gives these graphic diagrams
indicating the reduced value of the
dollar. This applies as fully to every
thing that is bought as it does to food
stuffs.
The diagrams of the dollars real

 Republicans To Support Sulzer
 Regular Republicans here have quietly organized to write the name of Delegate Charles A. Sulzer in the blank space on the Republican bal lot, and they are wiring to RepuDli- cans throughout the Territory adyis- ing them to do likewise.
 The indications are that Delegate Sulzer will defeat Maloney by an ov- arwhelming majority for the Demo cratic nomination in this Division and that he will beat Wickersham fer the Republican nomination.
 Bets are freely offered here that Maloney will not get 100 votes in the Third Division, with no takers.
 Maoney Has Only One Meeting
 Maloney has held but one meeting n this Division. That was at Cor dova, and there were just 37 people present, at least half of whom have no vote Before the meeting closed there were only IA people left in the nall, including him and the chairman, Senator o. P Hubbard. i
 It is said that his friends advised him not to hold any further meetings.

INCREASED NUMBER OF SHEEP
AND CATTLE TO BE GRAzED
on THE NATIONAL
FORESTS

The Department OF Agriculture au-
thorlzes the following:
To meet the war needs Of the coun-
try sheep and cattle will be grazed
on the national forests In increased
numbers this year. Half a million
more cattle will be taken care OF than
last year, according to the officials OF
the Forest Service. This will bring
the total number Of stock grazed un-
der permit to about 100000 sheep
1880 900 head OF cattle, and $1,000
swine.
This increase is on top OF an In
crease of 100000 sheep and 100000
cattle made last year, when 1t was re-
cognized that the country's need for
beef mutton, wool and hides called
for the fullest possible use of the ma
tional forest ranges.
Through conservative handling o.
these ranges for more than 10 years
their productiveness has been stead
| ily rising. With the country at war
the Secretary Of Agriculture felt IL
was necessary to take some chances
of overgrazing in the interest OF lar
ger immediate production. The re-
suits of admitting a larger number oil
| live stock were, however, carefully
watched. The further increases made
this year are mainly additional stock
can be grazed without injuary to the
ranges through more intensive meth
DDS of use.
These include readjustments in the
allotments of range, closer utilization
of the forage, and the opening up o.
country not before used for grazing
stock. In order to make the new areas
accessible to stock 1t has been II
many instances necessary to construct
trails or driveways. Watering facill
ties have also been improved. TT
arious increased allowances have
Leen authorized only after careful
consideration.
The largest increase has been made
in the Colorado and Wyoming Forests
where $1,000 additional cattle ant
$4,000 more sheen will be grazed
In the State of California there Will b.
$4,000 more sheep will be grazed. II
he State of California there will 1877,
400 more sheep. The provision TO
more cattle is widely distributed
through relatively small increases OF
practically all of the forests.
In Colorado virtually all of the ad
ditional sheep to be grazed are own
cd in small numbers by settlers of tn
immediate vicinity. Under presen
wartime conditions it is no longe
necessary to handle sheep in larg
bands in order to make the handlin,
profitable.

AMERICAN SOLDIER IN FRANCE
SPENDS NOT MORE THAN SIX
DOLLARS A MONTH; AL.
MOST ALL SENDING
THEIR MONEY
HOME

The national war work council OF
the Y M. C. A. has issued the follow
ing:
Who says that Uncle Sans soldiers
over seas are spendthrifts?
Whosover 1t was that said it was all
wrong, anyhow The latest word from
France declares that our men in khaki
over there are practising an economy
that makes the civilians back home
seem wastrels by contrast The aver
age American soldier spends not
more than 20 cents day, and makes
that modest sum pay for his toilet ar
licles, his tobacco, and sweets.
Nearly all our fighting men are saw
.ng money. Many of them are pay
ing for the privilege of fighting for
Uncle Sam" by buying Liberty bonds
and war-savings stamps enough to
make the folks who aren't fighting
ashamed of themselves. Almost all
American soldiers send money home
On nay day.
e. AR. Hungerford, one Of the Y. NJ
c. A. men at the front, who helps the
boys In khaki with their arrangement
for sending money home, and who Is
in a good position to know how their
finances stand, recently wrote back as
follows:
1.-THE American soldier is the thrift
lest American alive"
"T have Liberty bonds, war saw
ings stamps, military insurance, and
lave allotted SIS a month to the folks
back home said an artilleryman who
was in the hut last evening. There
| are thousands of Uncle Sans soldiers
in France who can truthfully say the
same thing. They just seem to have
good sense about money matters. On
nay day the rush is not to buy knick-
knacks, but to make some useful dis
position of money.
"I want to send some money home
is a statement heard constantly by
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton worker in France. The ~ has
purposely made it easy for the SOL
der to send money home. All he has
to do is to leave his money with the
man to do Is to leave his money with
the man in the hut, get receipt for
1t, and indicate the name and address
of the person to whom he desires the
money sent. The Young Mems Chris
ton Association has arrangements
with banking institutions which
makes possible the rapid and inexpen-
sive transfer of any amount of none
to any bank or person in the States.
"Our soldiers are thinking straight
about money matters. They are not
misers by any means, and they are
1
willing to spend small amount on
things that go to make life more en-
joyable, but their chief thought is ia
insure their economic independence
when the war is over and they return
to civilian life.
"The average sale to the soldiers
who come into our Young Mems

they are artillery men, engineers, and
doughboys-is almost exactly franc
