"Ah." said Daddy Wolf, II heard
something today which made my old

Wolf. Il would like to be happy too"
'.Aren't you happyf" asked Daddy
Wolf In a most worried tone Of voice.
That Is. Mother Wolf knew his voice

"Oh. yes. to be sure I'm happy, my

"Then why did you say that you

"My dear. my dear" said Mother
Wolf, 'you mustn't get SO nervous

gave the wrong meaning and were
glad Of It.

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

Every good day that passes tends to
kindle in the breast of the croquet
lovers a desire to get out and tap the
ball" Members of the club will soon
get together and put the ground in or
der for the present season. A number
of names for membership in the club
has already been handed in.
On account of the great hail, rain
and electrical storm last Sunday after
noon it was impossible to have any
meeting of the men.
The Glee Club is under great obli-
cations to the public for the hearty
support given the club at its in
itial appearance at Shorter Church last
Sunday evening; and that, too, in spite
of the very heavy storm which had
passed over just an hour before. At
the regular weekly meeting of the club
on Wednesday evening three new
members Joined the club. There were
twenty present. Everybody was hap
py and glad.
A checker club was organized Tues
day evening, with nine members. The
officers of the club mean to develop
the game by creating new life into the
ranks.
The address which was to have been
delivered by the Rev. T. S. McMorris
of Scott Church last Sunday afternoon
will be given next Sunday instead. All
will be welcome.

Pinto Bean Leaves
For Allied Armies

The first shipment of pinto beans
to Americas allies rolled out of Colo
rado, last Thursday night, and with
its going the first glimpse of the great
European export market was given to
Colorado pinto growers.
Fifty carloads-4.0 100000 pounds OF
beans were ordered from Colorado by
allied governments for immediate use
overseas, and o. H. Liebers, head OF
the bean division of the Colorado
Food Administration, announces that
this order is merely preliminary TO
those which will undoubtedly follow.
The British government has already
placed large army orders for canned
pinto beans.
'If Colorado is going to come up to
the demands which these first orders
indicate will be made upon her during
the coming year the 1917 bean acreage
must be greatly increased" Bean Com.
missioner Liebers has announced and
added that there was absolutely no
danger of Colorado having an over
production of pinto beans.

Huge Surplus Crop
of Potatoes to Be
Eaten Potato Week

With 100000 pounds of potatoei
In Colorado in danger of being wasted
because of lack of demand. the U. s
Food Administration has set aside th'
week of April 21 to 81 as Potato
Week"
The depressing shortage of wheai
makes Potato Week" particularly
timely, because potatoes have beer
recognized by eminent food authori
ties as practically equivalent to wheai
in food values. One medium sized po
tato contains as much nourishment al
one large slice Of wheat bread.
Belgium and Italy are starving
France and England standing off the
German with blood are crying to Am
erica for bread. And every potato
eaten means tat much more wheal
which can be shipped overseas to feet
those who have given all except life
to stop the invader.
Arrangements are being made witt
retail grocers to put potatoes on the
market at the lowest possible price
and householders are urged to lay In
as large supply as possible, ane
serve them at at least two meals i
day.
All over Colorado, clubs are serv

science classes are having Potato
lessons; conservation classes are Civ
ing Potato" demonstrations. Every
thing, in short, which will encourage
consumers to help save this tremen

Y. M. c. A. GLEE CLUB.

The initial effort of the Glee Club
met with unusual success in spite of
the very inclement weather that pre-
vailed in the afternoon, after having
cloudless sky in the forenoon last
Sunday. Shorter Church had fairly
large and very appreciative congre-
cation to witness the event, and the
general opinion of the rendition of the
program which substituted the regu-
lar evening service, was of the nature
to give inspiration to this new organ
ization in our city to work for per-
manent success. All the members, in
cluding Hewetson-Watson, the direct
or, and valaurez Spratlin, the organ
ist, acquitted themselves in manner
meriting the admiration of those in
attendance, and the COLORADO
STATESMAN hopes that this is the
beginning of a greater good in our
community.
