If the war continues the U. S. will
have to almost re-stock Europe with
logs and cattle.
There is only one hog to every $50
acres of land in Colorado-practically
2 hogs to every square mile or hog
to every Is inhabitants.
In 1917 the average CONSUMPTION of
pork per capita in the U. s. was s5.4
pounds. The average market weight
of hogs in Colorado in 1917 vas ap-
proximately 100 pounds. Figuring
that each hog dressed out 75 percent
of 100 pounds, or 142.5 pounds edible
pork, and multiplying 142.5 pounds
by 100000 (the number of hogs) we
have 25,65O,OOO pounds of pork. This
is about 25 pounds pork per capita
while we are consuming S5.4 pounds
per capita. The extra 100000
pounds of pork is shipped into the
state largely from the corn belt.
We must have the meat. What
shall we do? The government has
recommended that price of 13 times
the value or price of bushel of corn
be paid for each 100 pounds of pork
produced from the spring litters and
placed upon the market this fall. In
other words if corn were selling for
Sl.0O per bushel, hogs would bring
$500 per cwt. in the central mar
kets. The higher the price of corn the
higher the price of hogs.-J. T. Tin
gle, Colorado Agricultural College,

braying mule because he gives aid
and comfort to the enemy by letting
him know in what direction and for
what range he should train his gun.
There are braying things in this
country that ought to be muffled be-
cause they give aid and comfort to
the enemy. They are not called mules,
but something that suggests about the
same thing.
The mule is part horse and part
something else. That's why he brays
and disturbs the peace and quiet Of
the neighborhood. In America is
considerable number Of so-called hu-
man beings who are part American
and part something else. That's why
they bray and try to disturb real hu-
man beings.
The mule isn't to blame for bray
ing. 1t is his nature to bray and he
doesn't know any better. Moreover,
he has no intention of harming any
body or anything when he brays. By
so much is the mule to be respected
over other braying creatures.-Min-
eapolis Tribune.

about one-tenth of the entire amount

of the war is but 80 cents per capita

should be used in wrapping packages.
When canvas or cloth is used the ad
dress should be written on a shipping

And go where the strawberry grows

And the gooseberry grows on its

Where the catnip tree is climbed by

As it clutches for its prey
The guileless and unsuspecting rat
On the rattan bush at play;

And the cowlets in their glee
As they leap in joy from bough to

On the top of the cow-slp tree;

A few minutes perusal of the follow

There are others but these devot,

democrats holding government jobs
also, but with a very few exceptions
they draw salaries. The Register has
no kick on the democrats getting the
patronage, but only on their claims
of great generosity in allowing the
republicans to donate their services.
That the above men are all SO willing
and enthusiastic in working for their
country without pay shows the
character of citizenship that has al
ways distinguished the republican
party, and made it the dominating
feature of American government for
sixty years.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE,

Make this beauty lotion for a few
cents and see for yourself.

. What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complex
ion blemishes; to whiten the skin and
to bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, Therefore irritating
and should be mixed with orchard
white this way. Strain through a
fine cloth the juice of two fresh lem
ons into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white, then shake
well and you have whole quarter
pint Of skin and complexion lotion at
about the cost one usually pays for
a small jar of ordinary cold cream.
Be sure to strain the lemon juice so
no pulp gets into the bottle, then
this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied
daily to the face, neck, arms and
hands it should help to bleach, clear,
smooth and beautify The skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white al very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

School Board Recon-
Illeenl;,}s Substantial
Salary Increase For
Teachers
State Legislature VIII Be
Asked 10 Appropriate
Sum Amounting 10 ST.
500 More Than That For
l9l7-l9l8

The total estimated salaries for all
white school teachers for the next
session, as prepared by the School
Board, will be $7O,5O0.OO. This
will be an increase of S12,5OO.O0 ov-
er that used for the school year just
closed.
The Legislature will be expected
to appropriate an amount necessary
to take care Of this increase. The
Boards Of several other parishes of
the state have made recommended
tons for salary increases.
If the state body fails to respond,
a special school tax will have to be
voted. The draft and the present
high cost of living has greatly de-
pleted the ranks of the school teach
ers; a serious condition that affects
every citizen. Since the latter por-
ton of the problem can be met by
legislation that will give the teach
ers higher salaries commensurate
with other lines of endeavor, it is
not anticipated that either the Legis-
lature or the people, if it is left to
vote, will fail to acquiesce to the
program as laid down by the differ
ent School Boards.
The agricultural teachers have
been employed by the year and their
services will be used during the
summer months.
For the payment Of per annum sal
aries, the following basis has been
established by the School Board:
Principals of approved High
Schools $3.50 to $1835.
Principals Of agricultural schools
