But after you have comforted each
mother
In all the land, then hear! 1 dread

Oh, send me news, good news from

The little boy with whom, not long
ago,
l played at soldiers on our kitchen
floor;
And walked on stills; and cut and

And whitfield arrows-shall see
him more?
He has his mother and his sweetheart

I'm just his sister-but l care,

After the others, God, oh, hear my

MINSTREL AND STREET DANCE.

The plinstrel and street dance vast
night was one of the most successful
affairs from every view point that
has ever been given in Americas. The

The Prowers county exemption
board expects to complete its records
and report to the Provost Marshal on
December 9th, this office having its
records in better shape and more COM
plete than any county in the state.
The board expects at that time to get
an honorable discharge. County Clerk
Markham and Sheriff Downing will
continue to draw the same salaries as
county officials and can find plenty
of official duties to occupy their time
during the day, but when they grow
lonesome in the late hours of the night
for free work to do, we know of no
way they can satisfy their craving for
hard work-unless their better halves
can save up the family washing for
them to dig into in the wee small
hours of the morning. DIR. Shelter of
course will be SO busy drawing his
salary as county coroner that he will
never miss the extra work. The eff
ficient lady clerks, Mrs. Filkins and
Miss Davis, will not be idle any long
err than they want to be as there are
plenty of jobs waiting for them. As
for Charles l.. Doughty, the enlisted
soldier clerk, he will not worry about
losing the job, il he could just be sure
the job would lose him. Being regu-
larly enlisted he can't be sure whether
he will be discharged or sent some
place else. At any rate all have merit.
ed the highest praise for the earnest
and efficient work they have done and
the painstaking care they have given
the records so as TO protect and help
the boys and their families during the
war and in years to come. These re-
cords will be Of immense value to the
county's soldiers and their relatives
in future years, and many will appre'
ciate the faithful work of this board
and its employees far more in the days
to come than they do now. 1t has
meant many hours Of uncompensatet
night work, but it will be of great
value to many people in time.

AID FOR CATTLEMEN
WITHDRAWN.

According to q telegram received
from the secretary OF the Cattle Loan
Agency of the War Finance Corpora
ton at Kapsas City by the livestock
division Of The United States Food Ad'
ministration for Colorado, the corpor-
alton has been urged by its legal ad-
visers that. being war organization
only, 1t must wind up its affairs by the
time peace is>declared and therefore
does not expect to do much more
business through the agency"
This amounts to ii practical closing
OF the Cattle Loan Agency at Kansas
City as far as further loans to cattle
men Is concerned.
Congress may endeavor to help the
cattle Industry" H II. Tompkins. Jr.,
head OF the livestock division OF the
food administration said. But Con
gress cannot take action until Decem-
Der and that will be too late TO help
the situation any this year"

C. A. Quinby, manager of the Gra-
NADIA Valley Land Co., was in the coun-
ty seat yesterday and informs us his
company is again doing business after
a vacation of nearly a year, caused by
Mr.. Quinby's patriotic desire to do
something to assist in time of war.
He having been veteran of the Phil
ippine war attempted on this country's
entry into the big war to organize a
company in the second Colorado regi-
ment. He made considerable progress
but his efforts came to an end when
he himself was rejected for physical
reasons. He then decided to close his
real estate office, which had been do
ing splendid business, and enter in
to some occupation deemed essential
by the government, and has since been
working at the Warwick alfalfa mill.
Now that the war is over he has re-
turned to the real estate business and
is opening up on a larger scale than
before. His company has done n large
business in the eastern section of the
county in the past, and it has connec-
tions with eastern concerns that have
done great deal towards settling up
the Granada territory. Mr.. Quinby
expects his company to also open up
an office in Lamar soon after the first
of the year. He is live, hustline
real estate man and a good citizen.

FRANCE HARVESTS WHEAT
IN RECONQUERED LANDS

That France, unlike Germany. is not
sitting supinely by and waiting for the
American farmer to supply her with
food, but has brought In harvest
from the very battlefields themselves,
is clearly shown by report recently
made by the France Department Of
flee OF Agricultural Reconstruction to
the United States Food Administra-
tion for Colorado.
The report states that more than
1877. 500 acres OF wheat recovered from
the enemy in the successful counter
offensive OF July and August were har-
vested under the direction OF the de-

Citizens of Prowers County.

Although Prowers county succeeded
in pledging the entire amount of its
War Savings Stamp quota amounting
to s274, $50, the duty of each individual
pledger is not fulfilled until the
stamps are actually purchased.
Out of the amount pledged as shown
above the people of this county have
actually purchased $l5O,OO0 in War
Savings Stamps. This leaves a bal
ance of Sl24,630 to be purchased dur
ing the month of December.
1t is true that the war is over so
far as actual fighting is concerned,
but that does not relieve us from our
obligation to buy the War Savings
Stamps which We have pledged to buy.
The war is not over with the civilian
population until every pledge which
We have made is fulfilled.
We have several million men in
France and in the United States who
have made good their WAR SERVICE
PLEDGE-we can do no less than
make good our WAR SAVINGS
PLEDGE.
The most appropriate Christmas
gift this year is War Savings Stamp.
The most beautiful Christmas stiekers
this year are WAR SAVINGS Stamps.
We have been buying bonds and
stamps to BACK UP THE BOYS
now then let us buy more stamps to
BRING THE BOYS BACK.
Our job is not done-our obligation
is not fulfilled until every mothers
son gets his feet under the old home
table again.

More Work for Red Cross.

The local chapter of the Red Cross
has just received an order to furnish
a large number of sweaters and sox
for army distribution. The chapter
is now completing an army order for
400 pajama suits, which it is hoped
will be delivered on time in spite of
the delays caused by the influenza
epidemic.
The Mountain Division headquarters
of the Red Cross has sent out an ap-
peal requesting all chapters to MAIN
tain their working force, as there will
be much work to do for many months
to come. While the making of surgi-
cal dressings has been discontinued,
there will be steady work for sewers
and knitters, and all who can spare
a half day or whole day each week
ire invited to enroll in the classes.

OverwOrked.

Secretary of Treasury McAdoo, the
ablest man in the cabinet, who has
for six years been badly overworked
trying to keep his esteemed pa-in-law's s
bad breaks hid from the public, re-
bclled when he heard of the proposed
junket to Europe to attend a peace
conference which has already decided
what the terms of peace are. Mr.. Me-
Adoo promptly handed in his resigna-
ton, and will retire from the cabinet
the first week in December and from
all official duties as head of the rail
roads and various other government
agencies on January /. Congress vot-
ed the President a much larger con-
tingent fund for war emergencies than
he can possibly spend in the ordinary
governmental functions, so we have
this imperial junket with full court
and all accessories even to George
Creel as kings fool. Mr.. Ford has
kindly loaned the Oscar II to convey
the court, and the former passenger
list of the vessel ought by all means
to be taken along.
