You will find an insert in this paper
that contains the names of those who
subscribed to the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The Star had nothing to do with pre-
pairing the copy or printing these names
and if you are a subscriber and your
name does not appear, or you have not
received proper credit for the proper
amount notify the bank where you
made your subscription. There were
some COMMISSIONS in the list of Third
Liberty Loan subscribers. However
look the list over carefully and be
absolutely sure your name does not
appear before you enter protest. If
any names have been omitted it is
simply an over sight and has not been
done Intentionally, and if you notify
your banker he will hand the name to
US and it will be published next week.
With eggs in Denver at from 60 to
65 cents dozen and with correspond
ingly good prices in all parts of the
state this early in the season, it is
apparent that all can raise more
poultry and produce more eggs at
nice profit. This will not only help
fill the pocket book, but it will increase
the food supply, and thus perform
patriotic service. All poultry meats
are very high, ducks, geese, and tur-
keys and where any of these are grown
| provision should be made now to carry
over good quantity Of selected breed
ing stock for next season. These
should be in the best of health. In
this way large increase in poultry
meats can be secured for the coming
season. Cannot we double the poultry,
ducks, geese, and turkeys in Colorado
in 1919?-H. w. Sanborn, Extension
Poultry Husbandman, U. S. D. A.
