PINTO BEAN DAY NAMED
ONE POUND WORTH 1876 EGGS IN
FOOD VALUE.
Governor Gunter, In Proclamation.
Urges Substitution Of Product for
All Meat on Tuesdays.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service. :

Western Newspaper Union News Service.-
Denver.-The increased consump-
ton of Colorado pinto beans as a sub
stitute for meat on meatless days is
urged upon the people OF the state in
proclamation issued by Governor
julius C. Gunter. The following is the
proclamation:
Inasmuch as the United States food
administration. Of necessity. has desig-
mated Tuesday of each week as meat
less day; and,
Whereas. the Colorado pinto bean
ia the best and most available sub
stitute for meat of all kinds and
should be used by Colorado people,
because
1. A pound of Colorado pinto
beans is the equivalent of 1853 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.
8. The Colorado pinto bean has
been developed as . most successful
crop under dry farming conditions.
4. 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, 900
pounds seeking a market at price
much less than that at which navy
beans are sold.
5. 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.
6. 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 a substi-
tute for meat on Tuesday of each
week.

graceful spectacle of President of

Chamberlain, democrat, liar, and
of the senator, who happens to be
chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs, replying in the Senate
that the President "did not know the
truth" about affairs in the war de-
partment. The senator disclaimed
any personal rancor against either
the President or Secretary of War
Baker, saying his only motives were
patriotic, to rouse the country and to
speed up the war by wiping out in
efficiency. In support of his posi-
ton, ne cited numerous incidents OF
alleged inefficiency in connection

When War VIII End!

THE following poem, by an anonymous
rhymster, was read at the Buffalo cham
Der of commerce banquet by Congress
man Albert johnson of the state of Wash
ington, and created considerable amuse-
ment.
Absolute knowledge have none,
But my aunt's washerwomsn's sisters son
Heard n policeman on his beat,
Say to a laborer on the street
That he had y letter just last week,
Written in the finest Greek,
From a Chinese coolie in Timbuotoo,
Who said the negroes in Cuba knew
OF g colored man in q Texas town,
Who got it straight from a circus clown,
That man in Klondike heard the news,
From a gang of South American Jews,
About somebody in Borne0,
Who heard man who claimed to know
OF swell society female fake,
Whose mother-jn-law will undertake
To prove that her seventh husbands sisters
niece
Had stated in a printed piece.
That she has a son who has friend
That knows when the war is going TO end.

Miss Ida Tsrbell has written q fine,
stirring article on what she calls "patri-
otie buying" for the February issue Of the
Woman's Home Companion. She points
out how much can be saved il women will
only carry home their small packages and
order everything at once instead of in
dribbles several times q day. Patriotic
buying will release 5000 men from this
kind OF work and save f75, 900, 600.

written his first magazine article for the

what Jesus would do in this great world
war. Every man, woman and child in
America should read it. In addition there
are fine articles about the Mayo Brothers,
the great doctors OF Rochester, Mimi. !;
Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln.
What is good motherf Is it she who

who didn't have great mother. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox gives that hint in

read her poems over several times; for

Nearly every one OF us hiss some Pc
culiar fear-something which continually
grips us and keeps us in dread Some
fear thundsrstorms. some are afraid to

one other phases.
II is possible to Danish these fears by
process now known as psycho-analysis.
This is rather Q fesrsome name in itself.
But Il. Addington Bruce, in the February

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Eves
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their hocks and
herds In order to meet Europes ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American sock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government In In
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today ia probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle In the invaded
territory - approximately 1896, 900
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 2,4o0. 900
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently il the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds October, SIT. % /;
November and December, S160S jan
larry, S1440. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals ON the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle az
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,s07 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
941 300. a decrease of 1853 per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack Of necessary feed
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro-
duction Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

TRENTON BRIDGE.
Contractor Says New Bridge VIII
be Completed fin June.

I
be Completed in June.
The new Trenton bridge is expected to be
open to traffic by the middle OF next
June, according to a statement made by
Otto Nelson Co. OF Bangor, contractors.
In the meantime the old bridge will
continue to be used and there win be no
interruption of the sli-land route to Bar
Harbor.
Mr. Nelson said Tuesday that he should
begin work on the new brigde as soon as
the ice went out, and that he expected TO
commence operations by the middle of
April. He figured that 1t will take about
three months to complete the work and
that the new bridge should be open for
traffic by the middle OF June.
Orders for the steel, granite, cement an
other materials have already been placed.
They will be shipped by water, and huge
lighters, loaded with the bridge material,
are expected to arrive al Mt. Desert mar
rows as soon as navigation is possible.
There will be no interruption of traffic
to the island by vehicles while the new
bridge is being built. II will be about
fifteen feet west of the present bridge,
and the latter will be kept open and in
service until the new one is ready for use.
Lewis B. Googins Of Trenton has been
awarded contract for hauling rocks and
gravel to the approach of the bridge, some
5000 yards in all, and has started work.
