The Independent hopes an enthu- siastic crowd of Jackson county citi- zens and patriots will answer the above call from Chairman Sink of the Give-A -Bushel movement here. This patriotic movement has the support and endorsement of Presi- dent Wilson, Secretary Baker and many others in high official posi- tion. Anything the individual may do to further the cause will be appre- ciated by every department of the government. This work is as neces- sary as the services and sacrifices of those who are giving their all in the trenches lover there.'
 Although Jackson county is exper- fencing shortage of crops, we know that our patriotic citizens can be de- pended upon to come up with their full quota of gift bushels, and those who have not a bushel of grain or other products to give, may present the amount of money which a bushel would cost. Every man, woman and child are urged to join this cam paign.
 The funds collected will be depos- ited in a local bank subject to the call of Gen. Lloyd England, state treasurer of the fund. All pledges are to be redeemed on or before De- cember 1.

FIGHT LIKE sUPERHUMANs

Los Angeles, Cal.-To fight like sup
erhuman beings and to achieve the
seemingly impossible are REQUESTS for
Americans in winning the war, Frank
A. Vanderlip, president Of the Nation
al City bank of New York and head
of the government war certificate and
thrift stamp campaign declared in =
statement published in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Vauderlip cited the story of .
French soldier who stood alone but un-
afraid after an exploding shell seemed
to have killed all his comrades. Seeing
the enemy approaching, he cried out.
get up, dead men; get up and fght!'
and his stunned and wounded comrades
electrified by the cry, stumbled to
their feet and repulsed the attack.
Purchase Of thrift stamps will not
lessen the buying capacity Of individ-
uals, Mr.. Vanderlip said, but by build
ing character will teach how to spend
wisely.

A DREAM

l dreamed of place of happy youth.
A place of fun and laughter,
Where worry, with wrinkled frown,
Limped aimlessly around the town
With children trooping after,
Until they charmed the falntest trace,
o: worry from his troubled faee.
And Care, red-eyed from sleeplessness,
Was jostled here and yonder
By happy youth, with hearts as free
AS ever hearts Of Youth can be,
Until Care paused to ponder.
Then felt his burden slip away,
And 10! he stepped as light as they.
But, best Of all my dream found
A shop where hearts were mendod,
Where hearts grown dead and Scared
and old
We're soldered with the purest gold
And made as God intended,
Responsive to the wholesome glee
OF children as they used to be.
A dream! And yet I half believe
A promise lies behind it
A promise that by some good grace
There may be such happy place,
And mayhap we shall find it,
And lose our cares and worries, too,
And all be made as good as new.

Home Folks.'

ENEMIES TRY TO BLOW
UP PRISON CAMP

Salt Lake City, Feb. 23.-What is
believed to have been the agent to be
used in the wholesale delivery of Ger
man war prisoners. at Fort Douglas was
found at the prison camp this after
noon in the form of high explosive
bomb.
The bomb was found by one of the
guards and turned over to Col. George
L. Bryan, commandant of the prison.
1t was discovered in the section of the
camp in which German civilian war
prisoners are interned and where sew
enteen efforts to escape by prisoners
through digging tunnels have been nip
ped in the bud in the last few months.
The bomb was made of the ordinary
tin vegetable can with fuse entering
it at one end. The can was opened suf
ficiently for those in Colonel Byram IS
officer to discover that the contents
were of high explosive nature. Her
man Marms, state chemist Of Utah, an
alyzed the contents of the bomb, con-
firming the fact that they were highly
explosive. Wrapped around the can
were several layers Of cloth which had
been soaked In lard. ..........
While Colonel Byram Is now conduct
ing = rigid investigation to discover the
makers Of the bomb, 10 ssid that he
could not account for tho possession Of
the explosive by the .prisonsrs.l He be-
lieved they might have made good their
boast, made in his presence several
times, he said, that they could mako
high explosive bombs from the ordi-
nary foodstu6s supplied TO them - ra-

FIvB MILLIONS IN HAND

Five million, eighteen thousand, four
hundred and seventy-two dollars to
date How did the Y. w. C. A., out in
the midst of all the other great cam
paigns for war money in the United
States, succeed in raising five million
dollars?
The only adequate reply to this ques-
tion is that the women worked for it.
Women everywhere and women all to-
gether. In the same spirit and with
tha same prayerful purposefulness they
are planning its use for the girls and
women of America and those others
over there.

ground and fell head first nto shell

ground and fell head first nto shell
crater.
Instead of hitting the ground, he
landed on a fallen German, who had
tripped apparently in the same fashion.
both men reached for each other s
throats and terrific struggle took
place. Man to man they fought in mud,
water and darkness, rolling over and
over one another in the shell hole.
Other Americans in the party had
withdrawn upon seeing German flare
and knowing it called for retaliatory
barage.
What happened out there in the shell
hole under a downpour of shells is not
known in detail, but half an hour later,
when the shelling ceased, the American
who had fallen into the crater slipped
back over the top and reported in his
own trench.
The corner of his mouth had been
torn and his face was covered with
blood. One eye was fast turning black
and he was feeling the. end of his nose,
as though it belonged to somebody else.
In one hand he carried the torn REM
nants of a coat.
One of his comrades told him to hur-
riedly wash and lose himself, as the
major was on the warpath because the
patrol had forgotten to use its rifles
and thereby allowed the German patrol
to escape.
Later he reported that neither he nor
"his" German had been able to take
advantage and they had been forced
to loosen their grips and seek other
shelter from the rain Of shells.
He was then asked by his irate cap
tain, "Why in HI" he had not killed
the German and "why in hi" the pa
troll had not used its rifles.
ooh, 1 could have killed him, all
right" replied the man with the black
eye and swollen mouth, "but I
thought our general wanted me to bring
's.n in alive. I would have done it if
it had not been for that d-n barrage. -
In such cases hereafter the whole
organization now understands that it
is no longer necessary to bring 'em in
alive. After having won the honor OF
having captured "the first one,' the
organization is now out to get them
ou& doa1 ~ alive
The folks back home will soon see
nthe first one Is face" through the med
ium Of the movies. The man who
punched his regiment 8 name to fame
by way of German chin is now cock
Of the walk in the valley Of the Aisne.
Probably the proudest walking he
ever did was on the morning after the
capture, when, in full equipment, he
marched his prisoner down the village
street and past the blinking lens of a
motion picture camera.

RED CROSS NOTES

Mrs. Ada Rittmayer, who has been
acting as assistant secretary to the Red
Cross organization, is in Denver at the
present time and intends to visit the
Red Cross work rooms there, in the
hope of gaining useful information.
In the last week, Junior Red Cross
auxiliaries have been organized in the
schools of Rifle, Silt, and lower Cattle
creek, and nearly all the rural schools
are taking up the matter.
The boys of the Junior Red Cross OF
Glenwood are making set of shelves
to be used in the sewing room at the
city hall.
A new supply of yarn has been re
ceived, ample enough to supply all The
knitters.
1t is not, perhaps generally under.
stood that there are restrictions impos.
ed on the use of Red Cross emblems OF
uniforms. These insignia are intended
to carry significance, and their dig.
nifty should be as cheerfully guarded as
is that of the national emblem, since
the Red Cross, although a volunteer
organization, is closely connected with
the government. Displaying q Red
Cross flag on automobiles unless they
are actually, in Red Cross service at
the time, is one form of improper use
Uniforms, generally should not be worn
except by workers while actually at
work, and should not even be worn on
the streets going to and from work. A
modification of the rule permits the
wearing of uniforms in public during
parades in which the Red Cross is rep
resented, or as occasions given for
raising funds for the organization,
such as concerts, bazaars, ETC., but
then only by those actually engaged in
those enterprises and not by people
who are merely attending. This rule
is uniform throughout the country, and
it is being mentioned in official bull.
letns from time to time as many new
workers are volunteering continually,
and some of these might innocently
transgress it.

school pupils met them at the station
and escorted them to their rooms; they
were later shown around the town. Tho
games were fast and interesting from
the start. Opal Richardson who sub
stituted for Marie Keck as forward
played a fine game. The score at the
end of the first half stood IA to 15 in
Paliasde's favor. The Glenwood girls
started out with a rush in the second
half and won by a score of % to 81.
The boys game was a rough one.
Glenwood was Handicapped by the small
floor, also by their center, Brady Loser
being unable to play, Fred Hammond
filling his place in Palisade, and Harry
Malaby, in Grand Junction. They
played their old reliable game however,
winning by 16 to %.
Saturday the teams were taken to
Grand Junction. Both of the teams
played good games, the boys winning
by score Of SO to %, and the girls
losing "a to IL. The teams returned
on Midland Six, Sunday afternoon.
Donald Weist, Raymond and Bernard
|4lopkins, Marion Mitchell, Sadie Weir,
Claude Wyatt and Frank Clayton went

THE GOVERNMENT AND FARMER

In his message of January 81 to the
farmers of America, President Wilson
points out the great governmental
agencies and instrumentalists in the
field of agriculture.
Our department of agriculture, he
states, is the greatest practical and
scientific organization in the world
and its total annual budget of four to
six million dollars has been increased
during the last four years more than
IS per cent. Its staff numbers $4,000
and includes many highly trained en-
perts. The agricultural colleges and
experiment stations of the country hav
a total endowment of plant equipment
of $l72 100000 and an annual income
of more than $35,O5t,0O0. Ten thous'
and two hundred and seventy-one
teachers with 125,O0O students, togeth-
er with q. vast number receiving H.
