With the completion of statewide
campaign to organize retail grocers,
the purpose CT the Federal Food Ad-
ministratcr to inaugurate a "Pota.
to Day" each week will be definite
ly undertaken i'm Colorado The plan
is to increase TO a maximum, the
use of Irish potatoes. Grocers will
be asked to select a day when deliv-
cries of other foods are fewest and
to make a special point to have pota-
toes delivered ON that particular day.
Housewives will be asked to buy
weeks supply on that particular day.
1t Is hoped by the administration to
make potatoes n part of every fam
lily menu, every day of the year. The
production Of potatoes in Colorado in
1917 was 100000 bushels an excess
of more than a million bushels over
the 1916 crop. Much of this crop
has not been moved because OF lack
of transportation facilities.

CITIES GROWING FASTER
THAN THE COUNTRY

Will the cities ever stop increas-
ing faster in population than the
country? From 1890 down to the
present, there has been but single
decade, that of 1880 to 1890, I'm which
the increase in the urban population
each succeeding decade, has mot been
greater than the preceding decade.
In 1880, 3.3 per cent of the popula-
ticn lived in cities of 5000 or over:
in 1910, 81 per cent I'm 1890, SO per
cent Of dhe people lived in cities of
$500 or over; In 1900, 40 per cent /;
in 1910, 46 per cent. City populati on
is growing faster than the rural.
From 1900 to 1910, cities increased
3S per cent in population; the coum-
try increased 9 per cent. At the
present tine, the rural population IS
a little over half the population of
the country. Within a. few years,
unless the unexpected happens, the
cities will contain a big majority of
the people. - Colorado Agricultural

HUBERT TO WORK

s.he Revned Mining Co., that has
Ieen operating the Oroanoke on King
flat, has taken a lease on the we'll
known Hubert mine. They have not
abandoned operations on the oroan-
oke but intend to work the ground
from the Hubert shaft, driving a
crosseut south 1870 feet on the 700
for this purpose.
The compressor will be transfer
red from the oroanoke to the Hub,
ert, but for the present the steam
equipment on the latter will be used
and later the electric hoist will be
moved from the oroanoke.
Down to the 8oo-foot level the Hu-
bert is free Of water and the 700,
600 and 2oo-foot levels will be work.
: ed. Manager Walter Boyle has ex-
ammeed the Hubert and says there
is pay ore to start on in the 200
and 600 on the west side. In the
600 there is a good iron streak and
in the 200 good body Of lower
grade ore. The pre on the west
side is free Of zinc, but on the east
side of the shaft in the 700, there
is nearly three feet of solid zinc.
A year ago connection was made
with the Hubert ground when raise
was carried up from the Arso tun-
mel through the Prize to the 700
and there will be no water to con-
tend with above this point.
Manager Boyle is much pleased
with the Hubert showing and fore
sees the possibility of making
money! The Hubert has produced
over a million dollars and made the
eolsinsers lots of money. It has
been one Of the greatest mines in
the camp and There 10 no reason
why It should not again be a big
producer with the expenditure Of
little money for development.
