we're selling at So per ton. In
spite of these top prices only
1000 acres have been contracted,
and 25OO acres are necessary TO
supply one factory. He said the
lack of response was due to Ger
man propaganda. He also said it
is part of the paid propaganda
.Or Germany to state that the
people there are starving and re-
bclling as a measure to lessen
enthusiasm in this country. The
question in the mind of every
one of-our boys over there is
81 wonder if they are playing the
game square at home?"
Some of the salient points of
Mr.. Davis address:
"When a man says he is will
ing to take up arms here but not
over there, he is in every sense a
Stacker as it has been proven
that if it were not for the small
handful of French, British and
Belgians the battle line would
have been moved TO the Atlantic
seaboard of this country"
when our nation is at hazard
as it is today, when it's very life
is hanging by a thread, any man
who holds up progress should be
taken out and shot"
You men who come from for
eign shores to this country for
an opportunity to live and pros
per and have taken the oath Of
allegiance to that grand old flag;
when it comes to this time and
you cannot stand up for your
country, for Gods sake he men
enough to get up and get out.
Leave the country"
ANY man who says peace now
is pacilst whose blood has
turned to water"
1.-THE Germans will realize
years after this war, just as Eng
land realized years after our own
revolution, that we are fighting
the battle of the common people,"
when the Canadians come
across the top with a grenade in
one hand and a saber in the other,
the Germans throw up both
hands. The Scotchman, with his
bare legs and his kills, they call
The Ladies Of Hell.' When the
American boys go across they
will throw up both hands and yell
that the very devil is after them. a"

Hearings were held by United
States District Attorney J. L..
McClear before U. S. Commits
.siOner George j. McFadden yes
tcrday in the cases of a number
of men taken in the l. w. w.
roundup and held for the u. S.
authorities. The larger number
.Of the hearings were those of
men of the draft age who had
failed to fill out and file their
questionnaires within the time
prescribed by law. Three of these
men, John Dahlberg, Carl Salver-
son and John l. Hanson, plead
guilty to the charge and were
bound over to the United States
District Court under bonds of
$1,000. None we're able to fur
nish the bonds and they are be-
ing held in the county Jail await
ing the arrival of an United
States officer to take charge of
them.
These men, together with a
number of others who we're ex-
amined, are all foreigners. Each
was given the opportunity Of
filling out his QUESTIONABLE,
waving all claims for exemption
and being Immediately inducted
into service but each of them re-
fused. Dahlberg stated, when
questioned by District Attorney
McClear, that if he saw his wife
being beaten on the street by
some man he would make no ef-
fort to protect her. Each of the
three men were willing to fill out
questiOnnaire providing he was
permitted to claim an exemption,
but they were informed by Mr.
McClear that their failure to
comply with the law in this re-
spect had resulted in the loss oi
their rights to claim exemption
Emil Hartman was bound OveI
for trial at the next term Of the
United States district court un-
der the espionage act. He was
permitted to post a cash bond oil
$500. Two witnesses testified
that Hartman had repeatedly sait
that the United States govern
ment was a graft from the heaC
down to the least important off,
cial and was entirely controlled
by the large money interests
Witnesses also testified that hC
had advised a young man not tC
enlist in the aviation corps, say
ing that the war was already wOI
lby Germany and to enlist would
be a, foolish act. Hartman, who
was a soldier in the Spanish
American war, strenuOusly de-

cording to a telegram from State
Food Administrator R. F. Bick-
nell to Jos. S. Sweeney, acting
county food administrator. The
telegram follows:
'If we are to furnish the allies
with the necessary proportion Of
wheat to maintain their war
bread from now until the next
harvest, and this is a military
necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to twenty
one million bushels a month as
against our normal consumption
of about fOrty-twO million bushel
or fifty per cent of our normal
consumption, reserving a margin
for distribution to the army and
for special cases, leaving for
general consumption approx
mately one and one-half pounds
of wheat products weekly per
person. Many of our consumers
are depending upon bakers bread.
Such bread must be durable and
therefore requires a larger pro-
portion of wheat products than
cereal breads baked in the house
hold. Our army and navy require
full allowance. The we'll to dc
in our population can make
greater sacrifices in the con-
sumption of wheat products than
lcankthe poorer. In addition our
population in the agricultural
districts where the other cereals
are abundant are more skilled in
the preparation of breads from
these other cereals than are the
crowded city and industrial cen
ters. With improved transporta-
tion conditions we now have
available a surplus of potatoes
We also have in the spring
months a surplus of milk and We

in Ia days, Ouray has seen the largest
single snowstorm in its entire history.
The actual measurements were made
by Forest Ranger Watkins, up to z
feet inches and after he lett on .
business trip, others kept track of the
rest of the snowfall. 1t has settled
down until it is about 80 inches on the
level on an average. Old residents
who have been in Ouray 80 years
and more, say it beats all records for
big SHOWS. Up to January 9Th there
was no snow to speak of and the 9Th
it began to snow and never quit for
more than q few hours until Sunday
morning, January 20. The snow has
done some damage. The Addington

The danger of fire in these late

stove pipes begin to get clogged with
SCOT, was evidenced Tuesday after
noon, when about four o'clock Max
Chavez, was driving by Mrs. Tipton's
residence on Colorado street. There
the roof was blazing merrily, caught
from a fiue and the folks inside were
unconscious Of the danger. Max gave
the alarm and drove hastily to Main

from the hose house and returning

However, the invasion Of this variety
Of Hun frightfulness does not seem
to be very serious, altho quite num-
ber Of cases are mentioned, and at
this time of year they spread pretty
readily, for a hot school room or over
heated house seems to incubate them
rapidly. The disease is rarely fatal,
unless accompanied by exposure that
drives them in or brings on pneumon-

dreadfully dangerous in the army,
where it is not always possible to pre-

BOY SCOUTS GIVEN I'M
PORTANT WORK TO DO

Boy Scouts all over the land are en-
gagged in work of distributing war
documents direct to the homes of the
people. This is in response to q per-
sonal appeal from President Wilson,
who asks them this week to distribute
the well known "Flag Day Address"
which first exposed the war aims of
Germany, her insults to our flag and
the unprovoked slaughter of our cit
izens.
Dean Quigley, as scoutmaster, has
the work outlined, and most town FAM
lilies will doubtless soon greet a boy
scout with copy of this red, white
and blue pamphlet.
