Disheartening crop news from New
York and Michigan in regard to great
ly lowered acreage in pinto bean
planting has encouraged Colorado
bean growers to make an Increased
effort to get a maximum acreage in
this state.
For the past three years, according
to the report, growers in these states
have been compelled to contend with
wet weather at harvest time which
greatly damaged their crops. In some
cases entire crops were lost

WHEAT SUBSTITUTE TABLE
Is USEFUL TO HOUSEWIVES

In war time all the old reverenced
customs are cast overheard and new
strange practices instituted in their
places. Time was when a woman
would consider her housewifery i'm
peached IL she used anything but the
best and finest wheat flour. But that
tradition, with thousands of others,
has been shattered. and now real
thrift and loyalty to country makes
substitutes serve where only wheat
was once known.
Out of some practice, skilled cooks
have compiled the following table for
women whose own experiment has not
told them what the proper proportion
of substitute flours makes the best
mixture:
One cup a OH WHEAT FLOUR
equals
barley Hour .115 cup
Sorn iiour ........ ...........l cup
f1ne corn mea1 ..............1 cup
Coarse corn meal ............ 40 cup
buckwheat .................. 40 cup
rice liour ........ ........... 40 cup
Homlny grlts 40 cup
Rolled oats (ground) ........ rs cup
The above equivalents represent an
average ON these flours, but different
mills turn out different grades of
flour and weight is the safest guide. II
you have no scales sift flour and
measure lightly in a measuring cup.

Kultrre and War Enthusiasts.

German youth no longer rush to the
colors with the enthusiasm that mark
ed the mobilization OF 1914, according
to an article in the Berlin Vossische
Zeitung, telling of the wartime i'm
pairment of the German educational
system. >
1.-THE spirit of voluntary service
which at the beginning of the war re-
vealed itself in its fairest aspect has
now disappeared" says the article.
"Everywhere we hear lamentations
over the increasing distaste shown for
military service"
Scholastic standards in the public
schools have fallen so low, it IS said,
that "promotions no longer represent
asv definite standard of accomplish
ment." Scholastic efficiency has suf-
Tered considerably because pupils sub
sistinr on war diets for long. periods
are found to be generally undernour-
issu1
Juvenile delinquency has spread to
an alarming extent, and it is announc-
ed that "already the number of vio-
lent crimes committed By youths III
the city of Berlin is more than three
times the number reported in 1914"
"Thus," concludes the article, clark
shadows are falling over the brilliant
picture of 1914. Every disciplinary in
fuence, very effort of the still funda-
mentally sound German nation must
be exerted to oppose this tendency,
and to lead The children back to the

Charles Broadus Last Month

Oscar Robinson, Charged with Cutting
Charles Broadus Last Month
About two weeks ago a row took
place in the extreme northern section
of the city between Oscar Robinson,
colored, and Charles Broadus, also
colored, during which Robinson used a
knife upon Broadus. The latter was
taken to the Alexandria hospital,
where nine stitches were taken in his
wounds. Robinson was arrested, but
later released upon giving security to
appear when wanted. Broadus had
recuperated sufficiently to appear IN
the Police Court this morning. He
was represented by Robinson Mon
cure. The evidence showed that Broa-
dus brought on the difficulty, that he
struck Robinson first, that the latter
used an umbrella upon him, and then
ian. Broaqus followed Robinson with
!. stone, and when the latter stopped
renewed the assault. Robinson drew
a penknife and used it in self-defense.
Robinson was dismissed.

A SAD COMMENTARY

Papers in different sections of the
state ever and anon direct attention
to the fact that a contest for Con-
gress is being made in the Eighth
.(Alexandria) district. They correct
~ say that the present is no time for
fights in the Democratic family. These
papers speak OF the amity which pre-
walls in both political parties in the
state and the patriotism which has
taken the place of political contests.
There is contest in the First district
from the fact that the position has
been made vacant by the death OF
Representative Jones, but in all the
other districts the voters in both po-
litical organizations have sensibly de-
termined to let well enough alone, and
it is difficult to realize that the old
Eighth district is to be the scene of 4
spirited contest during the next three
months.
The Democrats Of the Ninth dis
rtrict will not antagonize Mr.. Slemp,
realizing as they do his patriotism,
and are content to let him continue
his work while our country is at war
against a cruel and desperate foe.
That Mr.. Carlin will be elected to
succeed himself is evident from adj
vices from every section of the dis

OF SUCH is THE HUN

As the Richmond Virginian says, no
longer are we surprised at the savage
activities of the Prussian. No longer
do we shudder when we read OF the
striking down of the women and chill
dren of the neutral and be4ligerent
countries, nor the CHASTITY fortunes in
flicted on prisoners of war. The Hun
activities on this side of the water last
Monday, when women and children
were left adrift on the ocean without
food and protection, created little hor-
ror.
If we had not become familiar by
contact and experience with the stuff
the German is made of we would soon
grow wiser by the following excerpts
from the German thinkers and writ
ers of the past and present. They
are presented without any individual
comment or remark:
The Prussians are cruel by nature;
civilization will make them ferocious.

stupid, science has made them wick

self with steel and pierce with thy
bayonet the heart of every foe; no

lence; turn our neighbors' land into
deserts.-Vierodt.
Woe and death TO all those who
shall oppose my will. Woe and death
to those who do not believe in my
mission.-Kaiser Wilhelm, 1914.
War must leave nothing to the
vanquished but their eyes to weep
with.-Tamenberg, 1911.
1t is better to let hundred women
and children belonging to the enemy
die of hunger than to let single
German soldier suffer.-Von der
Goltz.
Germany is destined to rule the
world, or at least great part of it.
The lives of human beings are to be
conserved only if it makes for the
states advantage. - General Won

fensive power-him we Judge to be

be worth $4,000.
