HUMPBACKED MEN IN DEMAND
Strange and Successful Expert

An unusual advertisement appeared
in Chicago paper recently, desiring

NOTHING WASTED BY CHINESE
Flowery Kingdoms Farmers Even Uti
Iize the Prolific Weeds for Fer
tiiizer and Fuel.

Nothing goes to waste on the Chi
nesa fnrm-not even the weeds. Ac-
Cor,ing TO the farmers ideas, there
ar" good weeds and bad weeds, states
Il writer. The good weeds are put
into compost heaps and return fertiii-
zntion To the soil. The coarse weeds
with woody stems which will not cas-
lily rot are cut down and allowed to
dry until the son of the family has
time TO rake them up for use as winter
fuel.
Nowhere as in China do the dead
rob the living. Millions of graves are
scattered over the fields, their loca-
ton directed by the complicated rules
of feng shut. In some sections of the
country more than one-SiXth OF the til
liable area is covered with graves of
eStimablc but now useless ancestors,
and sometimes when young man
falls heir 10 farm he finds that it is
farm full Of graves, and his biggest
crop is Il crop of duty 10 dead and
hnlf-forgOtten ancestors.
Chinese women didn't wait for the
outbreak of war to- put on trousers
and volunteer for work in the fields.
They have been wearing trousers for
many centuries and for many more
they have been helping the beans and
potatoes to do their bit for their
country. The Cbiucsc sageS have had
great deal to say about the interior
ity of woman. but when it comes to
diggin.: in the fields the Chinese wom-
an iS equal to any man.

CALLED TO DUTY

Rev. Findlay D. McMartin offered
his services to the government and re-
ceived the call to report at San An
tonic, Texas, for three weeks train
ing course after which he will serve in
the capacity of religious secretary in
the Y. M. C. A. and be stationed at one
of the huts in the southern depart
ment, but as he volunteered for either
foreign or domestic service, he ex-
poets to ego across later.
Mrs. McMartin will spend some time
in Claremont and Tenstrike, Mimi, af-
ter which she will join her husband
should he remain in this country.
While the church gladly gave the
pastor leave of absence to serve in this
great crisis, the members none the less
regret that conditions were such as tn
deprive them of his valuable minis
terial guidance and will welcome his
return at the close of the war.

REPORT ALL WHEAT

The entire wheat supply of Colorado
must be turned over to the government
at the nearest mill or grain elevator
before May l, according to an order
issued by Herbert Hoover of the U.
8. Food administration and approved
by the Southwestern Food zone of
which Colorado is a part, at meeting
held in Kansas City, April 4.
All wheat turned over to the govern
ment voluntarily by the owners will
be paid for at government price. If it
is necessary for the Food administra-
tion to seize the grain, the hauling
charges to the mill will be deducted
from the price paid for the wheat.
Drastic action of this sort was
deemed necessary by Hoover because
of the imminent danger of wheat fam
inc before the next crop can be har'
vested.
Orders have also been issued for all
persons who have more than a thirty
day supply of flour on hand to report
to the U. 8. Food administration in
Denver or to the nearest county food
administrator or to his deputy befosc
May l.

A DASH TO THE FRONT

Jack Barr drove a team of horses
out to the I. E. Pratt home this week
and as he neared Cobblehurst the wagon
tongue broke in such a way that in
passing through the gate the loose
tongue struck one of the horses. The
frightened animals blindly dashed over
cherry tree, tearing off wheel and
messing up things generally, straight
into the open garage where their mad
career was suddenly halted by the auto
standing therein. Jack continued on his
way and they do say the big dent in the
back of the machine may have been
caused by Jacks head, or possibly by
the end of the wagon tongue.
Jack and his Grandfather Pierce
have left the Thome place and taken
up their residence in Noonan's grove.

BENJAMIN s. BIGLow Is DEAD

His country called and he answered,
but the grim reaper reached out and
led the young soldier boy through the
dark valley from whence there is no
return. Benjamin S. Biglow died a
soldier, smiling and cheerful to the
last, and many sympathizing tear
will pay tribute to the man lying in
the flag draped casket who gave his
life for home and country.
Benjamin had enlisted in the 4Sth
squadron of the aviation corps last
fall at Fort Logan and from there was
sent to Kelly Field, San Antonio, Tex
as. He was later moved to Camp Me-
Arthur at Waco, Texas. Unfortunately
he had an attack of measles several
months ago, but recovered sufficiently
to leave the hospital and return to his
duties. The first hike in which he
took part proved to be stiff one and
on the way back to camp he was com
PEELED to drop out of the ranks and sit
down. A relapse followed and he was
removed to the hospital again where
acute or hasty consumption developed.
His cheerful letters home did not be-
tray his condition and the family
thought he was gradually improving
until 4 few days ago.
His sister, Mrs. O'Neil of Cardiff,
went to see him and at his request
tried to g,t him home. He was unable
to staud The trip, however, as the raw
ages of disease were too far advanced,
and at Newton, Kansas, it became nee
essary to remove him from the train
to n hospital where all that was Garth

to Mr.. Farnum's parlors by the Wood
men of the World of which he was a
member,
Ihls afternoon at two clock at the
Methodist church the family and
friends Of the departed will gather to
do honor to the memory of one who
never saw the smoke, OF heard the din
of battle, but who died none the less
soldier of America. Services will be
conducted by Rev. VIM. Pepper and
the beloved form laid to rest beside
his two brothers in Rosebud cemetery.
Benjamin 8. Biglow was born in
Aspen, Colorado, March 1s, 1890, and
died in Newton, Kansas, April 8, 1918.
He had lived in Colorado practically
all his life. His last position was with
the Colorado Midland railroad. A

THE JOKE WAS ON CHARLEY

While Charley Keck was over at
Carbondale two weeks ago he attended
the Red Cross sale and for the good of
the cause paid $1.75 for chicken (the
feathcred kind). Just here is where
the joke comes in. Harry Switzer was
also there and stole the bird from
right under Charley's eyes, brought it
to Glenwood, fed it up in fine shape
and last Saturday turned it over to
our Red Cross where at the sale it was
auctioned off three times, bringing in
six dollars. Charley says he doesn t
care much for chicken anyway.
