Call for High
School Graduates

81 would particularly urge upon the
young people who are leaving our
high schools that as many of them as
can do SO, avail themselves this year
of the opportunities offered by the
colleges and technical schools 10 the
end that the country may not lack an
adequate supply OF trained men and
women"
This significant statement came
from the lips of President Wilson
few days ago. 1t maps out clearly
the course of duty OF high school
graduates. The American college has
contributed SO much 70 this great war
that 1t must not fail the government
now-but it will fail If our high school
graduates fail the college.
The call for trained men was never
SO great. The new National army is
commanded by 10000 college trained
men. The requirements for the Av-
iatfun were two years in college or its
equivalent. 21.ooo. physicians have
been called for and only 5000 have re-
sPonded. Every chemist OF note is
working on war problems. !. ri
High school graduates are not run
ming away from the war when they
go to college; they are. moving to-
wards it in the most effective way
Success or failure in this. conflict. will
ultimately depend upon our supply OF
trained men. The call OF American
colleges is a call to; service. -

asked to subscribe $4,000. 900. Den

this is no child's venture in finance.
but a big job for full grown men and
women. 1t is the safest. soundest
investment offered any people any
time a War Savings stamp costs
in the month of June, S4.11. Saved
until 1923, the purchaser will receive
IS for that stamp. Or if by any ill
chance he should be obliged to call
in his loan he may do SO by giving
ten days notice at any postoffice and
receive the sum he invested plus 3
per cent interest.
Every person who invests in War
Savings stamps becomes producer
in SO far as he pledges himself not
to buy things which will infringe on
the labor needed for the war.
On Friday, June 2S. at 2 o'clock, in
the afternoon. War Savings stamp
meetings will be held in every school
building in Canon City and Fremont
county. Some member of the cam
psign committee will be present to
explain the issue to those who are
in doubt, If there are any. At that
time the people. not only of Canon
City and Fremont county. but those
of the entire United States are ex-
pected to re-dedicate themselves to
their country by lending it their
money IA order that government OF
the people,. by the people may not
perish from the earth"

Will Assist
Business Concerns

The subjoined letter relating to the

concerns affected by war conditi ons.

& Co. of Chicago. owners of the ma
jority of the stock OF. the Arkansas

pany.
The Directors of the War Finance
Corporation have issued the follow
ing statement:
corporation have under consideration
applications from many public service
corporations doing business IN various
sections of the country. for loans ag-
gregating a large amount.
The directors of the War Finance
corporation do not feel that they have
any authority under the Law to make
loans except upon adequate security
as required by the act. and they are
convinced that the inability of. a .util-,
ity company to earn a sum at least
sufficient to pay its fixed charges.
taxes. maintenance and repairs. is con-
elusive evidence of the inadequacy OF
it's own obligation as security. The
directors OF the corporation feel that
the localities served by these various
public utility enterprises, should not
expect the War Finance corporation
to make advances to any utility COM
pany whose statement shows that il
is in actual need of increased revenue.
II is a matter for the local authorities
to determine whether or not an in
crease in rates, sufficient to main
tain the enterprise as going con-
cern. should be granted. 1t is urged.
therefore. that the proper authorities
give prompt consideration to applica-
tions made by public utilities for per-
mission to increase rates. In order
that the directors OF the War Finance
corporation may know. when applica-
tions for loans are presented by public
utility corporations. whether or not
they will be able to give adequate
security"
I'VE feel that this statement ought
to be of great assistance In securing
increases of rates from public service
commissions and municipal author
tiles. We would be glad to have you
bring it promptly to the attention of
the public service commissions in your
territory. We suggest that this state
ment of the War Finance corporation
be given the widest possible public
ity through local newspapep, by cir
