that mistake. But the ranks of the

The sentiment of the republicans
over the state seems to be rapidly
centering on Hon. o. II. Shoup as the
candidate for governor most suited to
the present occasion. A business man
of large and successful experience, he
has made his own way in the world
by force of character and ability. He
has been a liberal supporter of the
government in all its financial cam
paigns in Colorado to raise money for
war work. and has always been q
stcadfast supporter of republican prin-
ciples. He has never been a candidate
for Office before, and was only Undue
ed to enter this race by the persistent
demands of many staunch friends who
were alarmed at the predicamen'
which the late withdrawal of Senator
Drake left the party facing. At n timc
when the state needs a business adj
ministration more than eyer before in
its history he fills the bill in full
measure, and forms fortunate solu-
ton of the difficult situation in which
the various political deals and schemes
have placed the voters.

PRIMARIES NEXT TUESDAY
Registration Light and There VIII be
a Small Vote in County.

The registration of voters through
out the county has been very light
the past week, and it looks as if the
vote cast will be much less than usual.
The object of the whole primary cleo
ton expense-outside of the newspa-
pers which wanted it for the extra
printing involved-was to enable the
people to choose the candidates for
whom they were to vote n November.
But 20 per cent of the voters by stay
ing away from the primary elections
have proved that they did not care a
darn who were wished on them as
candidates-or whether they had any
or not. There are a number Of con-
tests to be settled next Tuesday, but
only four that attract much attention
among he public generally. The con-
tests in the republican ranks between
Phipps and Waterman for U. S. SEN
a.or and Ballreich and Shoup for gov
ernor and among the democrats Cunt
err and lyman for governor and Martin
and Heating for congressman from
this district, bid fair to all be hot af-
fairs and bring out much larger
vote than is usual at such elections.

SALESMAN TALKED WRONG
Argument Included Reference to Nils

"oueered."

The motorcar salesman's lack OF
judgment cost him sale. He was try.
ing to sell a professional man a ma
chine. but he handed out the wrong
kind OF talk and "queered" the deal
His prospective customer had been In
two or three serious motorcar acct.
dents while out riding with friends
and really was just a bit timid about
riding in machine. although to please
his family he had Just about made up
his mind TO buy one. The motorcar
man. with much glibness and effective.
ness. presented the various virtues OF
his car. Just look at the axle" he
said. when you get in smashup
that axle. unlike many others, will not
break, but will bend, and so can be
repaired without much expense"
This unfortunate argument spoiled
the sale. 1t aroused the sense OF fear
which the professional man had when
riding in a machine. and he told the
salesman that he guessed he would not
place his order for a machine at that
time.

new WHEAT RULES
RELEASE AMERICA
FROM OLD REGIME

As result Of one OF the most mo-
mentous food conferences ever held
in the history of the world, Herbert
Hoover. federal food administrator
for the United States, upon his return
from England, has ordered all past
wheat regulations rescinded and has
instituted an entirely new wheat pro-
gram which will be followed by
America and the Allies alike. and
which became effective September 1.
The most outstanding feature of the
new regime IL the introduction Of
Victory" flour. This flour is COM
posed OF so per cent wheat flour and
20 per cent substitutes. and is mixed
at the mills.
Consumers will not be required to
purchase this Victory flour. but will
be allowed to buy pure wheat flour
and 20 per cent prescribed substi-
tutes. The Food Administration. how
ever, urges that wherever possible
Victory flour be utilized
According to the regulations. the
new flour must not be sold by miller.
wholesaler or retail dealer at any
greater price than standard flour. The
retail dealer who sells standard wheat
flour Is required to carry in stock
either barley. corn or corn meal flour.
TO sell as substitutes In the ratio of
one pound substitute to four pounds
of wheat flour Pure rye flour or
mn Eal -. t.Nf l.s.t
II must be sold in proportion OF at
least two pounds of rye to three
pounds OF wheat.
Millers. retailers, wholesalers and
bakers are now allowed to carry
sixty-day supply of flour. instead OF
the thirty-day supply as before. and
the twenty-four-pound limitation on
the purchase of flour has been re-
scinded for both the city and the
country consumer.
In. spite OF the fact that the order
which allowed each consumer but six
pounds per person per month has
been revoked. Hoover. in a telegram
TO Thomas B. Stearns, federal food
administrator for Colorado. requested
all housewives to continue to con-
serve flour in a reasonable manner
and to use substitute grains as largely
as possible.
Restriction as to the amount of
Victory bread bakers sell to the con-
sumer have been withdrawn, altho
the size OF the loaf still remains
twelve ounces.
There is still a necessity for con-
unued vigilance in maintaining reason
able conservation of wheat by the
reasonable substitutions OF other &C.
reals so that the standard of saving
may be upheld" declared Mr.. Stearns.
The recent careful survey by the
food administrators of the United
States, France. England and Italy of
the food resources OF 22O 100000
people lighting against Germany
shows that to prevent disaster there
must be a conservation of wheat dur

They shall be register ed in the same manner and shall be subject to the same require ments and liabilities as those previously registered under tn provisions of this Act of Con gress approved May the eigh- teenth nineteen hundred and seventeen: Provided. That those persons registered under the provisions of this Act shall be placed at the bottom of the list of those liable to military service, in the several classes to which they are assigned.
 A complete registration is de- sired, and any person who shall wilfully fail or refuse to submit to registration, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. and shall, upon conviction of same. be punished by Imprisonment of not more than one year. and shall there fore be duly registered.
 This will not be the stupendous task of 3 year ago, as only a small per cent of men have reached the age of twenty-one since that time. Itis therefore,
