BRITISH SAVING AS NEVER BE.
FORE


The British are saving money as
they never have Notwithstanding the
increased cost of everything.
Sir Robert Kindersley, chairman of
the National War Savings associa-
ton, stated in London recently that
it is remarkable" that there are 49,
100000 holders of British war securi-
ties and more than 100000 accounts
in savings banks.
at may be safely said," he said,
mot only that saving has been COM
menced by millions who before the
war never saved, but that there is
every evidence that the effort of these
savers increases in intensity as the
war proceeds"
This situation is ascribed to the fact
that thousands are receiving more
PITY than ever and thousands OF wo-
men who, prior to the war, earned
nothing are now engaged In remuner-
alive war work. Also the incentive to
spend money has been removed to a
certain extent by the regulation OF
food and drinking purchases and cur
tailment OF amusements.

CONVIOTS BUILD
GOOD ROADS /
THE FAR WEST
Colorado Penitentiary Warden and
HIS Honor Men Build Good and
Beautiful Roads.

Tom lyman, warden of the Colorado
penitentiary, and his "honor men"
have won Nationwide fame the last
few years by their scenic road build
ing in the mountains of Colorado. The
Royal Gorge Highway, Skyline Drive,
Pixies Peak road, Tunnel and Tri-
angle Drive, from Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and Canon City are splendid
and enduring monuments of their
skill and labor Motor tourist have
spread the news of these notable
achievements far and wide.
1t is perhaps not so well known,
however, that these scenic roads are
only part of the work of the convict
road builders. While they have been
busy making some of the finest seen
cry in the world accessible to the peo-
pie, they have also been busy building
good practical 1865 day-a-year roads
through the farming sections of the
State Convict camps have been main
tanned in most of the best agricultural
regions even as far as 200 and 300
miles from the penitentiary. An OK
ample is Weld county, Colorado,
where they grow Greeley potato and
more beet sugar than anywhere else
yet heard of. If it is a big county,
larger than some of the Atlantic Sea-
board states. They say it will take
$4,000 freight cars to carry the 1918
crop out of the county. The cattle.
sheep. potatoes, sugar cabbage, wheat,
beans, onions, etc, for the $4,000 cars
have been hauled for the most Part
over grayeled roads or well graded
dirt roads built by the convicts. The
main highway through the county, the
Lincoln Highway is a good road from
boarder to border. The convicts have
made it so. For five years they have
worked up and down the county
changing the dirt roads into graveled
roads and trails into graded highways.
More than 10000 das' work has been
put in. One hundred and fifty miles
of graded road and fifty-four miles
Of graveled road have been built. Al
one place they made a fill of a mile
across lake to take a kink out of
the road. A Greeley citizen gives the
following account of the activities of
the convict road crew for the five
years:
"They average eight miles of good
road a month The months work
will include blowing, filling, grading.
ditching, the placing of culverts and
the building of small bridges. The
maintenance of the road camp costs
Weld county about $500 month. This
amount is taken in halves from the
cpunty and the State Road funds. The
State puts up dollar for dollar on the
camp maintenance. The average cost
per mile of road for convict labor is
500. OF course team hire, price of
culverts and other cost exclusive of
labor are additional.
Warden lyman maintains an aver
age of twenty men in the convict camp
of Weld county. Up to the time of the
declaration of war it cost Weld coun-
ty thirty-two cents a day to reed
man at the convict camp. At the pres
ent time the price is close to forty
cents. A substantial menu of meats.
vegetables, bread and coffee is main
tanned. For years the convict camps
have furnished their own cooks.

wear. and during that time kept little
track Of what was going ON IN the
