School House
Now Hospital
Influenza Sufferers at Crowley Cared
For In School Building Where
Nurse and Cook Provide.

Influenza has seized Crowley and
vicinity to the extent that most of the
residents of the town either are sick
or have been sick the past week or
ten days. In some cases whole fam
lilies are confined to their beds and
in order to take care of them better
the county commissioners were grant
ed the use of the school building for
hospital and the patients are re-
ceiving treatment and care which
they could not receive at home. The
building has good heating facilities
and ventilation, and nurse and cook
are provided. Deaths have been few
there, possibly but one from influenza.
and the good treatment provided Will
keep down the numoer of fatalities.
DR.. e. o. McCleary, county health
officer, believes that the epidemic is
subsiding some for the new cases are
not so plentiful over the county as
was the case few days ago. The
situation in Sugar City where there
were in the neighborhood of 25 or 80
victims of the epidemic, is improving.
The sugar factory had a serious time
for several days to get enough people
to keep the plant running, but the
improvement and at the rate the
epidemic there is abating it will be
normal again by the middle of next
week
There are several cases in Ordway,
most of them having developed with
in the past few days. Until a week
ago there had been but one case. and
while it is feared by some that the
spread of the disease having been
kept out of Ordway until now that it
will run its course the same as 1t
would have done had 1t started here
at the very outset. On the other
hand the physicians believe that the
weather conditions are more favor
able. having had a light snow with a
marked change toward cooler wealth
er, and that it will be but a few days
until 1t will be over with both here
and in other parts of the county.
No time can be set for lifting the
ban on public gatherings. but 1t is
believed that another week will see
the situation so clarified that the ban
will be lifted, however. only recently
came the order from the state board
of health prohibiting public sales in
the country districts.

Denver. Colo, IL


To County Council of Defense.
Do not take reports of amristice
too seriously until fully confirmed.
An armistice is NOT the same as
peace. All efforts must be continued
for months. In any event your COM
munity and council should not relax
effort, nor other activities such as
food saving, Red Cross, War Savings
sales. nor labor.
A telegram from the chairman OF
the field division or the National
Council of Defense, Franklin X. Lane,
who is also a member Of the presi-
dents cabinet Just received. gives
caution and says: Earnestly beg
that you do not relax your efforts in
the slightest degree on account OF
the possibility of an early armistice,
Even If an early armistice should be
concluded this does not mean that
the war is over, and in any case, the
emergency will not be over for long
time"
These reports may cause the
relaxation of effort. They are as i'm
portant, IL not more important, than
at any time before.

Almost overnight the entire food
situation has shifted, the first effect
on Colorado being contained in a
telegram received at the office OF the
Colorado Food Administration from
Herbert Hoover.
This telegram ordered the repeal
of the rules formerly forbidding the
feeding of wheat to animals. Wheat
may now be sold for feed until fur
ther notice without the customary
permit from the Food Administration.
1t is particularly urged by the
Food Administration that wheat un-
fit for human consumption be fed
to chickens, poultry, hogs and dairy
stock.
With the surrender of Bulgaria,
Turkey and Austria and the cessation
of German hostilities on the sea, the
high seas are now open to ships of
all nations forever. And with the
clearing OF the sea lanes comes the
opening of the distant wheat markets
of India, Australia, and the Argen-
tine, releasing millions or pounds or
wheat for the supply of the Common
Table"
There is plenty of wheat now, the
Food Administration announces. Or
ders have not been received how
ever, to let up on the sale and use of
with wheat flour or to
increase bread portions in restaur-
ants. Until such orders-expected
soon-are definitely received the
present rulings remain in effect.
"You must understand that we do
not consider abandonment of our
general requests for food saving,
hich, without doubt, will be stiffen-
en- to meet demands from the entire
world" Mr.. Hoover's telegram stated.
Indications are that fats and meat
will be scarcer than ever and that
the sugar situation will remain the
same or worse.
It is expected that an entirely new
program to meet changed conditions
will be released soon by the Food
Administration.

German Band
l. a Capture
American Soldiers Have German Cap
tives Play Star Spangled Banner,
Says Roy Long, Now In France.

To take a lot of German soldiers
in as prisoners is the delight OF the
American boys over in the front lines,
but to take whole German band
prisoner and make them play "The
Star Spangled Banner" is little
out OF the ordinary, but that is what
Roy Longs company did few weeks
ago over on the battle front. Roy
Long is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. r. Long, former Ordway residents
but now residing at Amby. Ill. He
wrote his parents that he was on the
battle line and that his company had
taken a great many prisoners, and on
one occasion they took a whole Ger
man band and Immediately made
them play 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban
ner," which they did and did well.
In letter from Mr.. Long he states
that Hazel has been very sick in
Pueblo where she is located and that
they are just getting over the flu.
