Thursday, September u, is the great
day in United States history which
will divide honors with June 5th Of
last year. A year ago in June ten
million Americans between ages Of 81
and 30, went quietly and forcefully to
the registration booths and each gave
his name as a soldier ready to fight
the Hun and drive back the unspeak-
able beasts of Berlin. The govern
ment has picked from those ten mil
lion nearly three millions who are fit
physically to stand the intensive train
ing, and whose home connections and
business was such that they could be
spared.
Now that class of men is exhausted
and on the 18th thirteen million more
of US will register that those in auth
ority may again select another three
million for immediate war service.
1t will be most inspiring sight, and
will place the final negative upon all
German hopes of winning this war.
The polls are to be open from seven
to seven. The list of registrars is
published in the News-Champion this
week Each precinct is represented,
and some by several assistants for it
will require great deal of work to
register over 800 men in this county
in twelve hours.
The Local Board from its office in
the county Utility Building, will di-
rect the movement, and decide any
questions that may come up. The
Board, consisting Of Judge Shackle-
ford, Major Lake and Sheriff Hanlon,
requests us to publish the following
paragraphs from the long list of in-
structions:s
81. CAUTION.-All male per-
sons who shall have attained
their eighteenth birthday and
shall not have attained their
forty-sixth birthday on or before
the day set for registration by the
President must register.
This means that all boys who have

PATRIOTIC CITIZENS SEND $500
HOME PAPERS TO SOLDIERS

I all expense connected with the sub.

Steps are now being taken by Mr.
Thompson to interest others in the
home paper man. He believes that
with q full appreciation Of the value
which would accrue to the nation as
a whole through close contact of the
men in the service Of the country and
their home communities, it will be
adopted everywhere.
He plans to give the necessary i'm
petus to the work to carry it forward
all over the country.
Real Home Papers Needed
In speaking Of his own experiences
away from home, Mr.. Thompson tells
of the big part played by genuine
home papers, not the big city dailies-
but the smaller daily and weekly pa
pers containing personal news in
which people away from their homes
are most Interested.
"While in Russia last summer and
fall had great longing al the time
for the newspapers that was in the
habit Of reading" he says. II could

WAR BOARD PUTS IT
up TO weekly PAPEDS

As outlined in the News Champion
last week, the War Board has prac-
tica put all newspapers on q cash
in Ince basis, as well rs ordered
them to conserve in this war work by
cutting to 65 per cent of last years
circulation. What Uncle Sam says
goes, even tho it may appear unnec-
essary. The soldier in the ranks, can
not know the reasons which prompt
orders, and even tho such orders were
wrong. instant and complete obedi-
ence is the only duty of discipline.
Response has been prompt from
most of our friends and readers who
were in arrears. We believe the 9TH
ers will only need that "word to the
wise" which is being given right now
The label tells the date to which your
subscription is paid. 1t is up to you
to do the rest. We must put these
changes into effect by September 18th
and the time is short.
Because of this change we have de-
cided to defer raising the snbscrip-
ton rate to $3.50 until January LIST,
next. That will give everybody fair
chance to pay in advance at the old
rate.

LETTER FROM DEAN QUIGLEY
WORK AT HOME AND ABROAD

Ny Dear Mr.. Kelley:
am at last very near where ! ex-
pected to 90, and will soon have fin-
ished the trip to the place of my an
pointment.
Thus far have had only good luck.
There is and has been some excite
ment, of course, but I shall reserve
the telling about it until see you.
This word from me may not reach
you before the fall term of school
opens. / hope that there will be fair
patronage Of the school this fall. l
have never before felt 30 completely
the need for our country, and every
country, Of an education that fits for
enlightened living. We don't so much
need technical skill as we do intelli-
gent social consciousnesstthe power
to appreciate human values, and the
will 10 realize them.
My work is likely to be teaching,
part of the time anyway part Of
the program of reconstruction. That
q quite . joke ON me as well as the
other fellow, isn't it? l must confess,
however, that it is agreeable to me in
my present frame Of mind; for If there
Il anything that ! feel more strongly
than all others it is that education Is
the one potent factor in human affairs
lin 20 far, at least, as mere man has
anything to do with those affairs. The
world is suffering now as the result Of
m unbalanced and misdirected edu-
cational program. We should devel-
op the social sense through . super
ior teaching Of history, government,
sociology, economics, geography, etc.
In our American high schools the Ro-
nance languages should be taught to
be used rs IN important tool.
Nail may reach me II directed to II
Rue d Aguessean, Paris. France.
Best wishes for the good health and
happiness Of al Cunnison friends.
Sincerely,
SAMUEL QUlCLEY.

HAND OF DEATH Is LAID
4 SUDDENLY ON HARRY CRAZY

The death Of Harry Stephen Crary,
which occurred last Monday, Sept. End
came as great shock to the many
friends Of the family. While it was
known that Mr.. Crary had been in
poor health for the past two years, it
was not believed that he was 80 SER
iously i'll, until the news Of his death
became known. Miners consumption
causing congestion Of the bowels led
to his sudden passing.
Mr.. Crary was born in Pierpont
county, N. Y. on Oct. 30, 1864, and
was nearingNhis 54th year at the time
of his death.
When nine years Of age, his family
moved to the state of Colorado, locat-
ing first in Boulder county, later NOV
ing to Saguache county, where they
settled on what is now known as the
"Flying NJ ranch" up Cochetopa creek.
Mr.. Crary had been q resident of Gun
nison county for the past fifteen years
and Of late he followed the mining
profession in various parts of the
county. At one time he homesteaded
q ranch on the Cochetopa, near that
of his father and his brother, Noah
Crary.
, In 1904, his wife, formerly Ida
Dodd Allen, died in Gunnison, leaving
him with five small children. Mar
garet, Edward, Harry, Emma, Alberta
and one adopted son, Frank. In 1907
Mr.. Crary and Mrs. Lee Smith were
married in Gunnison, Mrs. Crary dy-
ing in 1915.
Harry Crary was an industrious,
upright citizen, who took great pride
in his home and family, giving each
Of his children every chance he could
secure in the way Of an education.
His daughter, Miss Margaret, is now
one Of our promising young teachers
in our county schools, being at pres
ent employed at Crested Butte in the
grade school. His three sons, Of
whom he was intensely proud, are now
with the colors, Frank being an Off
Ger, stationed at Camp Dodge, Iowa,
Harry with the army in France, while
the eldest of the boys, Edward, is at
present in training at Camp Lewis.
Besides his children, he is survived by
two sisters, Mrs. Laura Jester Of
Boulder county; and Mrs. Elizabeth
White, of Oldtown, Maine. Mr.. Cra-
ry's mother died in 1878, and his faith
er, about six years ago, at the SOL
diers' Home in Los Angeles, Calf.
Funeral services were held on We'd
nesday afternoon, from the house.
Rev. Deck Of Crested Butte, officiat-
ing. The large gathering Of friends
to pay tribute to the departed, testi-
fled to the esteem in which he was
held.
The sympathy Of the community is
extended to his bereaved children, and

II is reported in the dailies that the
new federal highways council at
Washington has failed to approve the
work ordered last week by the Stats
Highway Commission on the Upper
Muddy road. 1t was thot that this
project, so important in getting out
the food products of the headwaters Of
the North Fork, and also recommend
ed by the forest service, would certain
ly be approved, and we do not under
stand that anything but difference of
opinion about what is essential war
work, halted the road construction at
this time, or that it is certainly aban-
doned. Commissioner Whalen and
Road Supt. Wiley had transferred the
road gangs and already laid in many
hundred dollars worth of supplies on
the order of the state. Just what the
outcome will be cannot yet be stated.
All road work, involving new con-
struction or expensive up-keep, for
1919, must be first submitted to this
war board, by every county in the
United States. The government cx-
poets to take every available man for
use in war or the so-called essential
industries.
The latest word which Commission
.er Whalen has received is to the effect
that work will continue on tine Muddy
road, the State having agreed to put
up $4,000, which the government will
reimburse, even tho the rest of the
project is not formally approved.
However, work on the Crested Butte
Somerset road must be stopped the
10th of this month, and all plans for
next years road work must be for
warded Il the War Board by the first
Of October for approval, or there will
be no work next year.
