WAKE UP EX-TEACHERS

This is essentially a plea to the
married woman.
You have quit teaching You are
married and have good home. You
do not have to teach any more. hut
the times have changed within the
year. You do not need money but
the schools need you.
Many schools In this and other
states will not open next fall be-
cause there are no teachers for them.
The young men have gone to war.
and in too many instances the young
woman teacher is drifting into other
positions where the work is less ex-
acting and the dollar return perhaps,
Is greater. She may have forgotten
that teachers salaries are going high
er too.
Unless the ex-teacher comes to the
rescue now. the children will be the
losers. Nobody else can fill her place.
As patriotic duty II Is up to the
married woman teacher to get back
into the harness. She may be rusty,
she may not be quite up to her stan
dard of five or ten or fifteen years
ago. but II she was ever any good, she
can brighten UP wonderfully by few
weeks review at Colorado Teachers
College summer school or elsewhere.
II this is impossible, then by atten-
dance at the nearest Teachers Dis
trict Ins stitute
The public school has made this
nation what 1t is to-day. Must we
let 1t go backward now for lack Of
teachers? Married women II is up to
you. Think about 1t.

.COMMENDS WORK OF
ASSESSOR HANNA

County Assessor Hanna and Tax
Commissioner c. P. Link from Denver
were in Raymer last evening viewing
the property and arriving at some
idea Of comparative values
Mr.. Link was very emphatic In his
statecent that very substantial in
crease must be made in the assessed
value Of lands and explained that un-
less Assessor Hanna made such in
crease the Tax Commission would or
der arbitrary increases. He contends
that the Colorado policy OF full cash
assessment is not only good law but
also the best business policy and that
II Is far better to have full value as
sessment and one per cent taxes than
to have one third value assessment
and three per cent taxes. He explain
ed that the large proportion of taxes
go for school, road, town and other
local purposes and that the state
gets only about one tenth of the a.
mount paid He seriously condemns
the individual or company that is not
wiling to pay his far and just proper
ton OF the pubic expenses.
We were pleased to note that Mr..
Link bespeaks for our local assessor,
Hanna, the highest commendation
and says he is most capable, honest
and conscientious official deserves the
support Of every citizn In his earnest
efforts to secure full and fair assess
ments.

BACK IN THE HARNESS

With this issue OF the Enterprise
we again assume charge of all ITS de-
partments.
We have decided that instead OF
scattering energies that we will fry
TO concentrate them.
The work that should be done on
the paper has grown rapidly, and
the cost OF operating the plant has
increased enormously.
The amount of job work that we
are called upon to turn out Is fully
four times what 1t was two years ago.
There should be much more news
and other matter st than formerly,
at least four times that of two years
ago, and twice what we have been
averaging for the past six months.
With the facilities we have at hand
for handling such matter. this should
not be difficult task for one man
with one assistant to perform, pro-
viding we can have the cooperation
of our patrons.
The increase In investment in the
plant. rising prices In all departments
OF printing activities, make II very
difficult to break even.
We do not expect to get rich at the
business. but we hope to make fair
living by hard work, and enough 30
that we can help boost and do our
part in donations and war activity.
To do this. some Of the increases
in prices that have hit other products
must be expected when you come to
the printer However, 1t will not be
in proportion to the prices you are
receiving.
II will take less butter. and less
wheat or less meat to get the same
quantity OF printing than bsfoD.

q few weeks, and We are In hopes
that little investigation will con-
vince them that Colorado laws, Colo
RADIO schools. and Colorado people
are better than they seem to think.
1t would appear as II they had not
lived near a good town, for one OF
the brothers seems obsessed with the
idea that there is some reason why the
country people cannot trust the peo-
pie Of the town. When he learns
that there was not a residence in
Raymer at the time the school bonds
were voted and the high school built
when he learns that the business
men have backed every move for bet
ter roads and put up cash to secure
their working. when he learns that
the Raymer Commercial club raised
and expended about $400 on roads
leading TO the sountry last fall, and
that private individuals have given
as much money as their entire tax
amounted to for better roads for the
country, may conclude that good
town is Of some advantage to good
country.
The Raymer business men admit
freely that the country makes town,
but they also insist that a good town
will help good country to be bet
ter country and more desirable
place to live In.
We are very glad to think that
Raymer Is growing. but we are not
anxious to have 1t enter the cosmo-
politan stage where it is 50 large
that It's city airs will contaminate the
country, or powerful enough to i'm

The Kaymer Ball team went to

Commodities
Cotton

There was further sharp advance
in the cotton market yesterday on con-
tinuation of Fridays buying. October
contracts sold up to 25.27, an advance
of S3.25 per bale from the closing price
of the previous day and of over $8 per
bale from The low level of Wednesday,
That month closed at 24.97, with the
general list closing steady at net
gain of % to IS points.
No fresh bullish feature was dis
cussed around the ring as connected
with the recovery. Local brokers think
the action Of prices reflected strong
technical position-that u large short
interest had accumulated on the end
June crop indication and that the long
contracts were held either by the trade
or other strong interests. Uneasiness
over drouthy conditions in parts of
Texas and apprehensions that the boil
weevil, which are reported numerous
in infested sections, will cause serious
damage in the Eastern belt, combined
with the absence of more active hedg-
ing against either old or prospective
new crop cotton, are the factors con-
sidcred chiefly responsible for the COW
ering movement. Buyers found con-
tracts very scarce again yesterday
morning, and after opening steady at
an advance of ! to 18 points active
months sold So to 81 points net higher
during the middle session. July was
relatively firm, touching 20.O5, but
there was considerable realizing in the
late trading and last prices showed
reactions OF 20 to 80 points.
The announcement that agreements
had been made whereby producers of
linters would sell only to the govern
ment at fixed price Of ACT cents per
pound f. o. b. producing points was dis
cussed, but seemed to be without any
special influence. More interest was
evidenced in reports that rumors had
been circulating in Manchester that
similar action would be taken to COM
mandeer the lint crop. 1t was con-
sidered possible that such rumors as
these had been partly responsible for
Fridays strength in the Liverpool mar
ket, but the rumors had not reached
the local trade previously and Wash
ngton advices quoted members of the
War Industries Board to the effect that
no action of the sort was under con-
sderation or contemplated. Reports
from the goods markets indicated that
the trade was still waiting for def
mite announcement on the price-fixing
proposition. Weekend reviews of the
crop showed good progress in all Sec
tions except the drouthy part of Texas.
The official forecast was for generally
fair weather in the Southwest, and
naturally every additional day of
drouth increases nervousness over the
situation.

Gold Conservation
Gives New Prestige
To Silver Money
England Forbids Hoarding Of
Coins-German Silver Source
Not Known

Early in the war the urgent neces-
ings was recognized by the bellgerent
powers. Gold, it was seen, was needed
as the basis of credit, and could be
more proftably employed under Gen.
trail control. So England, France, in
fact all the powers, including the en-
envy. began a careful conservation and
concentration of gold. The United
States after it entered the war adopted
the same policy. AS result the float
world has shrunk tremendously.
Lately there has been a tendency
toward the exercise of greater govern
mental control over silver. With gold
out of circulation, silver has grown
increasingly popular as a form of hard
money People in Europe have much
preferred it to deprecated paper. Now
however. it has been found of great
value for selling debts incurred in the
Far East, and both the United States
and Great Britain have taken official
States has done in using the $300000,-
900 hoard Of silver held in trust in our
Treasury against silver certificates in
circulation has been followed in Eng
land by an order in council under the
defence of the realm act which makes
it unlawful to hoard silver coins or to
carry more in ones pocket than is
necessary for current change. The
new English regulation is as follows:
First-No person shall have or retain
at any time In his possession or under
his control silver coins current in the
United Kingdom of a value exceeding
that of the amount of silver coinage
reasonably required by him at that
time for the purposes of the personal
expenditure of himself and his family
and of his trade or business (if any,
and if any person acts in contravention
of this regulation he shall be guilty
of an offense against these regulations
In any proceedings for contraventior
of this regulation the burden of show
ing what amount of silver coinage is
reasonably required for the purpose
aforesaid shall rest upon the person
charged.
Secondary person who sells OF
purchases, or offers to sell or purchase
any coin current in the United King
dom for an amount exceeding the face
values of the coin, or accepts or offers
to accept any such coin in payment Of
debt or otherwise for an amount ex
ceedng its face value, shall be guilty
of an offence against these regulations
Germany has recently taken to build
! ing up her silver reserve and has sue
ceeded in adding a considerable amount
to her holdings of this metal during
, the past year. The source from which
Germany has obtained her new sup
plies of silver are not known.

Policy Toward Brazil
Not Easily Defended

Any one conversant with the history
of our dealings with Brazil, however,
knows that the arrangement goes back
to a preceding period of negotiations
and treaties, in which wo asked ur-
gently for favors of the same sort.
Whatever the formal record, it is not
supposed by any open-minded and
well-informed person that the favors
were granted without persuasion by
our diplomatic representatives. Ger
tain it is that they are supposed by
other countries to have had such an
origin. We possess advantages, but
do not come into the open and let it
be known in what manner we secured
them. Our position, at best not easily
defended, is the more open to attack
because believed to be not entirely
straightforward.
All relations between nations are in
the melting pot. The war has opened
a new era. We cannot separate our
industrial and trade policy from our
