Great Britain thus far has refused to put into

demands general exchange of prisoners and a
program of exact measure for measure "medicine"

Few American prisoners are in German

We have the cure for that-reprsals. You

treatment or nice words You can kick him off

He doesn't understand any other treatment. Any
thing else he considers cowardice and is an en-
enlargement to greater cruelty.
The American government may already have
taken steps which will bring about general ex-
change of American and German prisoners If
it has not, an immediate effort should be made.
In the meantime, and to bring Germany to an
early compliance, a rigid plan of reprisals should
be put into execution. We will feed our prisoners
what the Huns feed American soldiers. We will
work them as our boys are forced to toll.

THRESHING CAMPAIGN
MEETS WITH SUCCESS
THROUGHOUT COLORADO

In spite of the fact that rain has de-
layed the threshing of wheat and
other grains very materially, the Colo
RADIO Food Administration feels that
the threshermen throughout the state
are exerting every effort possible to
put through the 1918 threshing pro-
gram. Various county threshing com
mittees have been extremely Jealous
in attending to the details which make
for the success of any campaign.
Never before have the thresher-
men paid so much attention to the
efficiency of their machines" declared
Howard F. Croker, chairman of the
Threshing Division, land we feel that
the threshermen are working together
faithfully to save, to the utmost de-
gree every particle of grain possible"
Headquarters are attaching great i'm
portance to the reports which the
threshermen are turning in weekly to
the County Threshing Committees. 1t
is upon the accuracy and care with
which these reports are filled out that
the success of the threshing campaign
depends, because statistics, thus gath
cred, will form a basis for crop esti.
mates In future years
Instructions from Washington ask
for reports, not only upon the thresh-
ing of wheat and other grains, but up-
on feed grains, fodder and other crops

IDEAS CURIOUS AND POETIC
Remarkable Beliefs That Have Been
Firmly lnarained Into the Chill
dren of Siam.

Mr.. Ernest Young, who went TO Siam
to organize the educational system,
related at London recently some Gu
rious beliefs held by the children there
He explained that he had experienced
considerable difficulty in teaching them
the rudiments of science, They be.
leved that the earth was fiat because
the priest had told them so. 1t was
also the impression of these children
that big crab went down into the
sea and made the tide flow, and when
the crab came up for fresh air the
tide ebbed. When the gods became
angry rolling thunder was heard, and
when the angels got sporty and struck
fire out of bricks, summer lightning
flashes were seen. When many angels
got into the bath at the same time
water ran over the side and it raiLed.
Directly Mr.. Young entered school
the children Frustrated themselves be-
fore him, and the only way they could
be induced to abandon this practice
was to tell them that English children
did not do that. They would do any
thing English children We're said to
do. They were awful liars, but when
told that the English boy was truthful
they gave up the habit.

DO SUCH LIVE HERE?

Human nature is very strange. Tho
way some women are wailins over the
new sugar regulations is pitiful. To
some of them. 1t seems, crate Of
fruit Is more than all the starving
millions of Europe. They are the
abused race over the new canning reg.
ulatfons. and anyone who talked to
them about the Hoover regulations a
year ago and knew of the scorn with
which any suggestions Of curtailment
were met can realize how hurt they
are with the enforced denial. This Is
only lack Of vision Women whose
men are at war accept the regulations
with cheerfulness: they do not weep
over the loss in fruit. or the difficulty
OF canning without sugar. They have
other losses to think OF. They know
that doing without few pounds Of
sugar II an easy matter compared to
their greater sacrifice. - Spokesman,

USE MILK AND CREAM
AND SAVE HERDS URGES
STATE FOOD OFFICIAL

The necessity for preserving intact
the dairy herds of Colorado was reiter-
ated by Clarence Adams, head of the
Poultry, Eggs and Dairy Products divi-
sion of the United States Food Admin
istration in an interview q short time
ago.
The need of saving butter and milk
has passed, and unless the public real
ize that they must use these excellent
foods to replace some Of the staples.
such as the wheat and sugar they have
been asked to save, the farmers are
going to sell their valuable dairy cows
for beef and the country will be swept
Of its herds" Chairman Adams de-
clared.
'At the time of serious curtailment Of
the sugar supplies. manufacturers of
Ice cream have been given practically
because this is one of the forms in
which milk Is most readily marketed.
A demand for milk cream and butter
must be greatly stimulated II the Food
Administration is to be able to prevent
the relatively high price OF beef from
tempting farmers, who are making
very little off of their herds at this
time, from sending them to market as
beef cattle"
Make milk and butter and eggs take
the place Of the products which the
United States must ship overseas to
American soldiers and to the soldiers
OF the allies.

SIMPLE THINGS WORTH WHILE

CARELESSNESS DELAYS
SUGAR CERTIFICATES,
DECLARES FOOD CHIEF

Improper statements, failure to give
addresses, and mis-sent information
have been at the bottom OF much Of
the discomfort experienced by consum-
ers Of sugar during the past few weeks
according TO statement issued by the
United States Food Administration re-
Gently.
While some of the errors in issu-
ing sugar certificates have been traced
10 this office, large per cent OF them
have been made by retail dealers" e1-
planned Robert J. Grant, executive
manager OF the Food Administration.
We try in every way TO make all rul
ings and regulations as easy as posi-
BILE for the people, but we know that
in this particular Instance the careless
ness of some dealer has worked hard
ships upon consumers-particula
those Ia rural communities who were
unable to purchase sugar, and we are
sorry"
Twenty-seven clerks and stenogra
pliers have worked increasingly since
the last week in July in an effort to
get the sugar certificates out in good
time. 1t is easy to understand. how
ever how delays occur. when hun
dreds of statements came into the Den
yer office with no address: and dozens
of other statements were sent to
Washington and had to be returned be,
fore they could be cared for.
Criticism is easy. but II is the fair
thing to consider that not all OF the
mistakes which are made are made by
the Food Administration staff" smiled
the executive manager.
