There is probably no country In the

Is SO general as In the United King

: Dsnver.-The increased consumn-
ton Of Colorado pinto beans rs sub
stitute for meat on meatless days II
urged upon the people of the state In
. proclamation issued by Governor
Julius C. Gunter. The following 10 the
proclamation:
Inasmuch as the United States food
administration. Of necessity. has desis-
mated Tuesday Of each week - meat
less day; and,
Whereas. the Colorado pinto bean
is the best and most available sub
stitute for meat Of all kinds and
should be used by Colorado people.
because
l. A pound Of Colorado pinto
beans IL the equivalent OF 1.ea pounds
OF sirloin steak, 2.01 pounds OF round
steak. or 1876 eggs.
2. Careful analyses by government
and state authorities show the food
value OF Colorado pinto beans to be
equal to and even superior TO navy
beans.
3. The Colorado pinto bean has
been developed as . most successful
crop under dry farming conditions.
I. Colorado raised in 1917, in re.
sponse to the plea for increased food
production, five times the quantity
produced in 1916 and there are now
in the hands OF the growers 10000. .000
pounds seeking a market at a price
much less than that at which navy
beans are sold.
8. The use Of this excellent article
of food by all Colorado will relieve the
necessity Of importing other foods and
therefore release for government use
rolling stock needed for other pur.
poses. ..f .. ..1 s.e ia
8. The greater use of Colorado
pinto beans will raise the price to the
grower: will reduce the price of east
ern grown beans to the consumer and
will, at the same time. encourage the
greater production OF this staple
article Of food in response to war de-
mands.
Z. Coloradoans should encourage
the use Of pinto beans as home pro
duct because the crop is capable Of
greatly increased production In this
state.
8. The growth Of this crop will put
the ground In excellent condition for
the planting Of wheat rye and furnish
valuable by-products for live stock.
8. Pinto beans are easily stored
and handled, are non-perishable and
do not depreciate with age.
Now, therefore, all Colorado fam
lilies. hotels. restaurants. boarding
houses and dining cars are asked In
aid Of the general war campaign to
use Colorado pinto beans as substi
tute for meat on Tuesday Of each
week.

WESTERN cAnADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One Of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop Of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested: the returns from an
classes Of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year,
but the price obtained was double that
Of 1915. which In turn was almost
double that Of the year before.
A. was the case In 1915 and 1915,
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their frst years crop. Further evi-
dence Of the prosperity Of Western
Canada n shown by the fact that one
In every twenty Of the population IL
now the owner Of an automobile. II
the farming community alone Ii taken.
1t will be found that the proportion of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings Of the leading cities Of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were In the corre-
spending periods Of 1915. and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $500. 100000 more was
cleared in the II months ending No
vember 80 than in the same months Q
year ago.
The entry Of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting a greater production Of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
Of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost Of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
10 more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions Of acres of
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at q low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
in 1918. 1t is larger than In 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop in the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known In the
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see q further increase in
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
cradle sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes Of Western farmers to
the possibilities Of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that 1t was impossible to meet 1t
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
increase of between Is and 80 per cent
in 1913.
Those who are contemplating coming
itSs.Western Canada cannot do better
than come early in the spring when
they can put in a crop and harvest It
In the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves, but also to the gSeat cause for
which the Allies, including the United
States. are now flghting.-Advertise.

INITIATION NOW
WOULD Be BAD
FOR BUSINESS
Great Volume of Securities
Outstanding Make Dan
ger Very Real One.

There is a legitimate expansion Of
ton and trade is increased. There has
been an important degree of such an
expansion in this country since the
war began. But when production
reaches it's maximum and the supply
of the purchasing medium, either in
the form OF money or credit goes on
increasing, the result will be that the
new purchasing power must eXpend
itself in driving up prices. This is
pure imitation, which places the bus
mess of a country on false basis and
almost inevitably ends in disaster.
The disastrous effects would be far
more serious at this time than at any
previous period of history, on account
of the great volume of securities out
standing. largely ,--e obligations of
corporations whose income is in
greater or less degree regulated by
law or custom, so that they cannot
readily adjust their charges to the
value of money. If issues of paper
money should be resorted to, and gold
should go to 3 premium, new and
very grave complication would result
from the fact that these securities are
usually payable in gold. Corporations
which were obliged b buy gold at a
premium with which to discharge
their obligations would be in a pre-
carious situation and the whole finan-
cial community would be involved
1t is said to be impossible to carry
on the war without imitation, and it is
doubtless true that some degree of it
is inevitable. All countries have it,
and there has never been a war with
out it The reason is that war calls
for Immediate and gigantic prepare
tions, and the readjustment of indus
try and of habits of the people cannot
be made at once. But the more
promptly q people can be brought tC
see that they must get out of the way
of the government and relinQUish Ia
Dor and shop-capacity to government
work, the more quickly the govern
ment will get it's full strength into
the war.

This plan was decided on, admins
tration Spokesman said, not in fear
that they lacked votes for a test of
strength, but rather to avoid broad
ening the schism with the White

of legislation.

pected tomorrow if Chairman Cham
berlain carries out his intention to
reply to the president.
After aowing thel war cabinet bill

UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS FUTILE

Naturalization Clerk M. ]. Flanagan
of the Superior Court was notified to-
day of a decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States which up
holds the rulings of Connecticut court
that first papers obtained previous to
September 27, 1905 are void, and ap-
plicants for citizenship under them
must start anew. The decision was
rendered January Z.
Under the Interpretation of the nat
uralization laws Judge futile of the
Superior Court, sitting in Bridgeport,
ruled that first papers obtained pre-
vious to September II. 1906, were
void, and proceedings must be COM
menced over. Under an amended
law the life Of first papers is made
seven years, but under the old law
there was some doubt, and courts in
other places decided such papers
could be completed.
Connecticut courts have uniformly
ruled in accordance with the decision
of Judge Tuttle, made after a hearing
in Bridgeport in February, 1914.
At the time Of the ruling here there
were a number of applications which
came under it, but they have since al
been disposed of, and the decision will
not now affect any pending cases.
