LOCAL WOMEN
have ADOPTED
BELGIAN BABES
Women Of the Presbyterian Church
VIII Care For Two War Orphans
in Connection With Their
Other Extensive War
Work.

Since the entrance of the United
States into the war with the Imper-
ial German government the ladies of
the Maysville Presbyterian Church
have been engaged in war work
through their various church organ
izations and already they have ac-
eomplished much of which there has
been little said
Aside from the great amount of
war work they are doing in their
weekly meetings, it became known
yesterday that the women have adopt
ed two Belgian War babies This is
to say that they have agreed to fur
nish enough money from month to
month to take care of two Belgian
children whose fathers have been
slain in the defense of home and
country or whose mothers have been
taken from them because of the raw
ages of war.
In alarming numbers organizations
and individuals over the country are
coming forward with subscriptions
large enough to care for these little
Belgians and already thousands up
on thousands of them are living only
because of their foster parents over
here.
Mrs. w. d. Cochran of this city, has
also assumed the responsibility of
taking care of one of these infants
and it is expected that even more
Maysvllle and Mason county people
will assume the role of war mother
and therefrom receive a great amount
of satisfaction in knowing that they
are doing their part to help lift the
great burden from the innocent babes
and women of stricken Belgium.

form a continuous agricultural area
over which the weevil will spread
naturally Parts of Delta county
south and west of these are protected
by natural barriers {" 'dobes') which
should insure their immunity indef-
initely, unless by a thoughtless or
malicious act the weevil is carried
by artificial means.
Hay hauled from infested territory
may contain live weevils for as long
as nine or ten months after it is cut.
Hauling hay or straw, even in small
amounts. is likely to be the means of
spreading weevils to new communi-
ties and starting colonies. Bedding,
clothing. or other articles can easily
shelter the insects until they will be
liberated in new localities. A single
cuff on trousers worn by a man walk
ing through an infested field has, by
actual count. contained rs larvae and
adult weevils.
Control measures are fxoving ef-
fective in an encouraging degree, but
it is important to remember that pre-
vention is far better than cure If
you arc a resident of the infested area
put yourself in your neighbor's place
and take every precaution to prevent
carrying the weevil to him. If you
live in uninfested territory, avail
yourself of the Colorado quarantine
law. which is for your protection. and
prevent anyone from carrying hay,
straw. or other material likely to har-
Dor weevils out of the quarantine
area. Every case of actual or con-
templated violation of the quarantine
regulations reported to this station
will be investigated Immediately and
steps taken to enforce the law.
The quarantined area now includes
all OF the land on Minnesota creek
and all of that on the North Fork as
far west as Hotchkiss. 1t extends to
the mountains on the north and to
the 'dobes on the south.

MONEY INSTEAD OF MER-
cHANDISE TO SOLDIERS

The original orded that the approval
of regimental or higher commander
was necessary before packages might
be sent to members of the expedi-
tionary forces has been modified so
officers with the rank of major and
higher may approve shipments. The
approval OF company commander is
not sufficient.
The question OF the shipment Of
parcels to France first came to the
attention of the War Department
when the commanding general of the
expeditionary forces cabled that con-
gestion of such articles had reached
such point that the French railroads
were unable to handle the load A
board appointed by the Secretary OF
War and the Postmaster General ex-
amiDed 5000 sacks of parcel post mail
and found that the articles being sent
not only. in the main. we're absolutely
unnecessary. but undesirable. The in
vestigation showed that the amount
OF such mail had reached a total OF
500. 900 pounds week. and was stead.
lily increasing.
Relatives and friends. according TO
a recent statement by the War Depart.
ment. Will find they often can do a
greater service to soldiers by sending
them money for the purchase of ar
ticles in France than by forwarding
the articles. Tobacco is now being
supplied as part Of the army rations,
and merchandise of nearly all kinds
may now be purchased in France thru
the huge general stores established by
the Quartermaster Corps. at lower
prices than charged by retailers here.

Watch for Bargains in the Store Not
Always
The Store of Service

Since the war started, a year ago,
retailing has changed SO utterly as to
call forth new definition of what a
store of service" means today.
To us, it seems the greatest service
we can render to our customers to-
day is to meet their preferences and
keep full stocks on hand.
In New York City, the largest de-
partment store in the world, right in
the very heart of the manufacturing
center. with almost unlimited re-
sources. says that it is a marvel in
deed that they are able to keep their
stocks of merchandise full in times
such as these.
So when you come to this store and
find the same measure of satisfaction
in choosing, you must realize what
unusual efforts must be exerted to
give the same Identical service to our
customers as in years past
