MINERS WILL MEET IN
DENVER, JANUARY %

Believing that the more thoroughly
the investing public is safeguarded
the more freely will capital be sup
piled for legitimate enterprises re-
quiring financiering, mining men at
the annual meeting of the Colorado
Metal Mining Association and the
Colorado Chapter of the American
Mining Congress which will be held in
Denver, January %, 90, and "a, at the
Assembly Chamber in the State Cap
itol, will recommend legislation to pro-
tect earnest and honest efforts in the
interest of clean business.
Colorado is one of the few states
in the Union where the crooked pro-
moter is unrestricted, and where the
investing public is not more or less
safeguarded against securities which
do not possess even potential merits.
The meeting will recommend legis-
lation that will place no undue hard
ships on legitimate business, but will
make life a burden to the crooked pro-
motor.
DR.. ]. H. Kelley, county director of
the War Savings Committee has fig

WILL CUT OUT FRAUDULENT
CALLS FOR MONEY
Plans of Council Of Defense for Hand.
ling Public Solicitation Of Funds.

A complete plan for the censorship
of all campaigns and movements for
solicitation of funds from the public
in connection with war activities has
been worked out by the war relief
committee of the Colorado Council Of
Defense and has been adopted by the
council. The purpose of the censor
ship will be to prevent fraudulent So
licitations for money and unnecessary
or unwise solicitations.
Hereafter the public should give no
support to statewide war solicitations
for money that have not the approval
of the Colorado Council of Defense.
And the public should not support,
hereafter, local or county financial
campaigns that have not the approval
of the various county councils Of de-
fense in their proper jurisdictions.
In Denver the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association will act joint
ly with the State Council of Defense
A specials committee of the council
will pass upon the merits of all pro-
posed statewide solicitations and will
approve or disapprove them, solely
upon their merits, after careful inves-
tigation. The membership of this
committee will be kept secret, even
from other members TO the council,
to protect the members from unnec-
essary annoyance and pressure.
The council has advised the chair
men of the county councils of defense
to appoint similar committees to pass
upon the merits of county campaigns.
1t is hoped by the state council that
this plan will protect the public from
Unnecessary solicitations and at the
same time prove of benefit to the
movements of merit.

HOW MUCH FOOD
ARE WE SAVING?
By f. L. Sargent
County Food Administrator

County rood administrators.
It will no doubt be OF interest for
us to pause in our food conserving
and see how much we have already
put aside for expectation to our AL
lies. We are all interested in knowing
just what success Federal Food Ad-
ministration is having. Is is doing
what was claimed for it? Government
dispatches gathered by the Federal
Food Administration indicate that
since meatless and wheatless days
were inaugurated six weeks ago,
Americans have saved:
312,000,00O lbs. of wheat.
180,000,OO0 lbs. of meat.
240,000,O00 lbs. of sugar.
4S,000,000 lbs. of fat.
1t has cost money to bring about
this saving; that, however, is no con-
sideration in comparison with the fact
that we actually have these millions
of pounds more of foodstuffs with
which to supply our armies in the field.
At the same time we have lessened
the chance of possible food shortage
to ourselves at home. Another very
great benefit has been the salutary
effect of change of diet upon the
health of the American people.
What has Gunnison done in this
great patriotic movement? This can
only be estimated because the consum-
ption of these food staples varies with
different families. The government
figures are based upon the differences
in the rate of consumption of these
articles as compared with previous>
years. An attempt was made, how
ever, to ascertain how much the hotels,
restaurants and boarding clubs have
saved during the same period of time
as the national figures are taken for.
With the exception of one establish
ment, the La Veta hotel, j. H. How
land, proprietor, every one responded
cheerfully and as accurately as they
were able. The attitude of this gem
tleman was not q surprise, however,
for he had already refused to allow
food conservation placards to be post
ed in his hotel.
The figures obtained show that dur
ing. the first six weeks of food con-
servution, 300 pounds of meat and
about 600 pounds of wheat flour have
been saved by eating-houses alone.
The amount saved by private homes
is doubtless much greater than this.
These figures should net lead US to
think that the campaign is over. We
have not saved half enough yet. Let
them rather be an encouragement to
us,-an assurance that our bit is
counting, and an incentive for more
systematic saving in the future.

FIXING THE PRICE OF

Thomas B. Stearns, Federal Food
Administrator for Colorado, has re-
ccived rules fixing the maximum

by the National Food Administration.
Bran is take as the basis in fixing
the price of all mill feeds. The bulk
