- PEkN TO BUY PINTO BEANS

The United States Food Administra-
ton announces that it will buy the en-
tire 1917 crop of Pinto beans, with the
exception of seed requirements, and in
so far as it is not already sold, from
growers, at 8 cents per pound recleancd
basis. In order to get this price a min
imum of IS per cent of growers must
sign contracts with the food admins
tration agreeing to sell their beans on
the above basis. Growers will receive
cash from shipper on delivery to loca
elevator when called for by the food ai
ministration as per terms of contract.
Shippers will sign contracts with the
food administration to handle these
beans for 10 per cent of the price paid
to the growers. The food administra
tion guarantees market for the en-
tire crop and will so supervise the sell
ing that the beans will reach the con
sumer at reasonable prices. Under
this plan speculation is eliminated.
The food administration in raising
the price to cents, assumes that the
acreage for 1918 will be increased. The
lack of market this year has not beea
due to an over-supply of beans or in.
ferior quality of the pinto-but to dis
elimination on the account of color.
The food administration proposes to
overcome this. The entire crop will be
handled in 90 days. Growers contracts
must be signed and returned before
March LIST. The distribution Of the
growers contracts will be in the hands

the county agents has been called for

it clearly understood that the cent
price applies only to the present 1917
crop, and that it is a maximum as well
as minimum. Beans will be turned
over to farmers for seed, and NO reason
for growers to hold beans. Growers
should apply to their county agents for
contracts. -... Zoe.

last Monday morning at the home Of
his nephew, Amos p. Ralston of tris

be in the best of health Monday
morning he went over to the Ralston
home to get some milk and while stand
ing in the kitchen door, dropped dead

emily without struggle. Amos Raj
ston, who was but a few feet away,

Mr.. Ralston was born in Nova Scotia

moved to that famous mining camp.
Eighteen years ago he moved with his
family to Routt county where they

ranch life were too heavy for one of
his age, sold the ranch to his son and
he and Mrs. Ralston came to Glenwood
to make their home, He is survived by
his wife and one son, Wallace Ralston,
who came from Steamboat to attend
the funeral.
Funeral services were held at the A.

GARFIELD COUNTY TEACHERS
MEET AT RIFLE

The annua meeting of the Garfield
at Rifle February the sixteenth and was
enc of tie mest interesting that has
ever Leen telG by the organization.
This being q patriotic season the r.a-
gram an talks were largely of patri
otic nature.
Miss Mary Hughes, head of the rural
department of the State Normal school,
gave an inspiring talk on the subject of
utilizing the course of study and the
working of rural and village schools
suitable to their surroundings and con-
ditions.
DR.. J. G. Crabb, president of the
State Teachers college at Greeley, paid
a glowing tribute to the leading men
of the country who have come from
rural districts and carried forth the
idea that the country districts should
be given the very best of educational
advantages, that the boys and girls
might receive development along all
lines without leaving their homes.
Mr.. H. G. Overlook, chairman Of the
Red Cross chapter, had been asked to
attend the meeting and explained tho
organization, meaning and aims of the
Junior Red Cross work. A number Of
the schools of the county have organiz-
ed and the drive is now on to interest
all schools in this work. President Will
son. proclamation encouraging the en-
rollment of all the children in the pub
lie schools as auxiliary Junior Red
Cross chapters, but the work being new
it has been rather difficult to under
stand just how to organize and what is
expected of these organizations. Mr..
Overlook now has all the information
at hand and his explanations were of
great value to the teachers of the
county.
The Silt school organized Junior
Red Cross auxiliary Wednesday. These
children are busy making ambulance
pillows.
New Castle organized the Junior Red
Cross last week.
The evening session was a specially
patriotic one. Miss Mozzor gave talk
along the lines of her address here be-
fore the high school and Civic Improve
ment and Literary club. This was so
pleasing to her audience that she was
requested to remain over in Rifle and
deliver an address in the Methodist
lchurch.

Teachers and Pupils Enter
tain Townspeop'e With a
Big Loyalty Program
GREETED WITH CHEERS

The patriotic rally held at the Odeon
Theater Thursday after school in re-
sponse to the request of the govern
ment was an inspiration to those who
attended. The Odeon was crowded
and many turned away unable to pro-
cure standing room.
This week lying between the Wash.
ington and Lincoln anniversaries has
been designated as "The National
Week of Song,' and it is expected
that each community hold at least one
public patriotic meeting during this
time.
The program was led by the public
schools, and the vivacity and enthus-
iasm combined with well organized
and orderly way of demonstrating it
was manifested by the roof raising
yells for Uncle Sam which broke out
like spontaneous combustion under the
direction of Alex Allen in one aisle and
Jesse Peabody in the other.
The program began with America by
the congregation and "Loyalty' by
the schools, followed by invocation by
Rev. Johnson
The boy scouts exemplified the color
guard flag salute in fine military style.
Mayor Kirwan gave a review of the
war work done by the community. }.
G. Rigney, president of the school
beard, gave summary of things she
schools have done and are doing to-
ward their part IN the great struggle.
He closed with a stirring appeal for
| undivided loyalty on the part of young
and old. Rev. McMartin gave an ac.
count of the ideals of the boy scouts.
Rev. Pepper gave word of encourage
ment to the "folks at home.'' Father
Carrigan was AWAY in the eastern part
of the state and was unable to attend
the meeting.
The drills given by the sixth grale
and the eighth grade under the direc-
tion Of Miss Drumm, our gymnasium
teacher, showed remarkable grace and
precision of movement. The sopho-
more girls military drill also demon
strated what scientific physical cul-
ture will do for young ladies. The
girls were dressed in white uniforms
with G. on their arms. They present.
edsa very pretty picture while at rest,
while their movements in full drill
demonstrated the poetry of motion.
Twenty-eight husky eighth grade
boys then lined up. and sang two new
war songs with marshal spirit.
The national anthem of France was
sung by the boys and girls glee club.
The tahlealx given while the aud
icnca sang Columbia the Gem of the

With Household Devices Harder Buy Houaekeepers
Confronted with the Unusual Value of Little Things
How to Make Home Equipment go Farther"

Stores used to be we'll supplied with
new household devices to tempt the
housewife. Now it is becoming impos-
sible to purchase some of the simplest
articles because they are no longer
manufactured, or cannot be trans
ported. The housekeeper is confronted
with the unusual value Of little things
with the necessity of making house
hold utensils last, of repairing them
or of making what she has on hand
answer. Are you learning from it?
Here are some aids:
Handles, screws, and fastenings of
knives, forks, egg beaters, etc, left in
hot water become loose.
Metal utensils rust when put away
wet.
Brooms and brushes used continu-
ally on one side wear to a point.
Brooms should not be allowed to
stand on the floor until their weight
bends or breaks the straw.
Glasses often are broken when the
bottom instead of the side first
touches the hot dishwater.
China is dulled by washing it with
too strong soap suds.
