Road Fund.
HERsCHEL HORN

An amendment to the Federal Aid
Road act which will provide 5000. .0OO,-
600 for work on roads throughout the
county during the next years, will
shortly be submitted to congress, with
the support Of the administration and
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads. If
the act is passed as written, Colorado
will receive 100000 in 1918 instead
of $25l 900 as at present, and an in
creasing' sum which for the last -four
years will amount to more than ST.
100000 annually. Under the provis-
ion of the Federal Aid Act, however.
all government monies expended on
roads must be met by dollar for
dollar appropriation on the part of the
state and the Colorado fund at pre-
sent will not do this. The government
plan as pointed out by road officials.
makes necessary an amendment to
Legislation government the state high
way department, which amendment
will be placed before the Legislature
this January if Colorado is to make
full use Of the government appropria-
tion.

Membership Campaign of Lamar
lambas Shows Organization
Livest Wirs in the
Valley.

Reports coming in from the COM
mittee in charge of the Yamba mem
bership campaign shea 1t the citi-
zens of Lamar are soiidly behind this
live bunch of boosters for a Bigger
and Better Lamar. Chairman j. S.
Maxwell of the mombership committee
has sold over $50 membership cards
himself, and o. II. Rhodpnbaugh and
Chas Owen have each made large sales.
From present reports and estimates
it is certain the membership will go
well over the 500 mark and may reach
the 1000 desired by the boosters to fit
into their campaign Of ten thousand
people for Lamar in 1920.
With the close of the war and the
passing of the terrible flu seourge La
mar is to enter on a new boom more
vigorous and lasting than any of those
in the past, and the Yambas propose
TO get into the collar as usual and
boost rs never before. Besides the
many big business enterprises coming
this way, the close of the war will see
the revival of the National Y. NJ. b.
Association, and Lamar will be called
upon in all probability to entertain the
big National Convention which will
assemble in 1920 to mark the revival

lions that adjourned when war was

coaching in social matters if she is to

The Big Eats.
State Dairy Commissioner.

For nearly two years President VIII
son has been pleading with us to eat
just as little and as plain grub as
possible and do our own cooking to
save for the government. And we
read that he took five chefs and forty
five assistant chefs on the George
Washington. 1t certainly doesn't take
fifty cooks to dish up SOW belly and
corn pone to that crowd of freaks.

concert parties provided by the asso-

an unusual shock, he told his men not
to be frightened, that it was only a

called out, That's jess what rs feared

BRINGING THE WAR HOME


In order that every service flag
may show complete military record
of the man for whom it stands the
state council of defense has adopted
the plan Of pasting a red seal over
the center Of the star representing an
ndiS dual who has returned from serv-
ice. Tho practice was adopted at the
sugp 'suon of the Denver county coun-
ell of defense and has in turn been
recommended to the national council
of defense.
The suggestion was first made to
Ernest Morris, chairman of the county
council, by j. A. Cosner, Denver
candy manufacturer, who has two sons
in the army.
1t has heretofore been the practice
to cover partly the blue service star
with silver star when a man has
been wounded. The red seal will be
used over the silver star when the
soldier returns, thus giving a COM
plete record of the case.

Value of Cow Testing Associations

Through the cooperation of the U.
S. Western Dairy division. local agen-
cics, and the state dairy commission,
five COW testing associations have been
organized within the state. Four have
completed one years work and are
well under way on the second year.
Summaries of the first years work of
three of the associations are now
available. OF the cows completing full
yearly records, an average Of 6,342
pounds Of milk and 253.6G pounds Of
butter fat was attained. The second
years work will show higher averages
for the herds that remain in the as
sociation, which will further demon
strate the value Of association work.
The following figures compiled by
w. Z. Meyers Of the Western Dairy
division office at Salt Lake serves as
splendid example Of the value Of
COW testing association work:

'lcss than one year --------.-.-.--.-....-----12

No. Of cows 2,S99
Average pounds fat in 30
In compiling these figures, only
those associations that had been oper-
ating continuously have been used.
These data are taken from the June
reports. Remember, all cows which
had been in the association for less
than one year averaged 26.6. All cows
in associations operating for one year,
but under two years, averaged 800
pounds butter fat. All cows which had
been in the association operating more
than two years averaged 37.8 pounds
of butter fat in 30 deys.

the AIRY French poiiu,
The only thing that bothered us a
year before we knew
Was 'ow in ell the Yanks 'ud look,
and wot in ell they'd do.
They 'adn't 'ad no tryncin,' they didn't
know the gyme,
They admit never marched it much,
their shootin' was the syme,
An the only thing that bothered us
that day in lawst July
Was 'ow in ell the lined old if they
should run aw'y.
Them leggy, nosey new 'uns, just come
across the sea,
We couldn't 'elp but wonder 'ow in ell
their guts'd be,
An the only thing that bothered us in
all our staggerin' ranks.
Was wot in ell 'ud 'appen wen the
'uns 'ad t the Yanks.
My word, it 'appened sudden when the
drive 'ad first begun,
we seed the tanks runnin, Cav
Biimey, 'ow they runl
But the only thing that bothered us
that seed the chase begin
Was 'ow in ell to stop 'em fore they'd
get into Berlin.
They didn't ave no tactics but the
bloody manuel,
They 'adn't learned no orders but
'Ooray and give 'em ell.
But the only thing that bothered us
about them leggy lads
Was 'ow in ell to get the chow to
feed their "Kamcrads."
SO we're standin' all together in a
stinish firm line,
II anyone should awsl: you, you can
say we're doin' fine
But the only thing that bothers US,
and that don't bother much.
Is 'ow in ell to get the dirt to bury
all the Dutch.
Gaws trewth, it's rotten fightin' that

The 'un's a dirty player, cause e 'as
always been;
But the only thing that bothers us in
'handin' i'm our thanks,
Is 'ow in 'ell we'd done it, if it wasn't
for the Yanks.
oh. the English and the Irish, and the
'owlin' Scottics,- too.
The Canucks and Austreyoluns. and

The only thing that bothered us-don't
bother us any more
It's why in ell we diln't know the

The war is over, but the dcvasta-
tion. misery and deprivation caused
by the war still prevail in large sec
tions of Europe. Urgent calls have
been received by the American Red
Cross from the Foreign Commissions
for clothing for the civilian population
Of number of the stricken countries.
They have been asked whether the
women who have been producing such
a remarkable quantity of surgical
dressings and hospital supplies and
garments for the last year can pro-
duce by February first considerable
additional quantity of Refugee gar
ments. The garments that can be
sent to the other side by February
first may be the means of saving
thousands of lives. Garments that
cannot be sent within that time will
arrive too late to help out this winter.
The division headquarters is max
ing a strong appeal to all women to
aid in the making Of these Refugee
garments. for which orders have been
received by the local Red Cross, in
order that they may go forward by
February first.

"Let us visualize march Of the

Tribune. in an endeavor to make the
staggering casualty lists Of the war
more real than mere figures can make
them AT daybreak they start, TWEEN

and the next day, and the next, and
the next. For ten days the British
dead pass in review. For eleven days
more the French dead file down the

five weeks more. Two months and
a half would be required for the Allied
dead to pass given point. The en-

lily twenty abreast-the writer sug-
gests, as fitting punishment for the
late German Kaiser, that he be forced
to stand at attention and review this
stupendous, ghastly procession, from
the first rank to the last.
