Cause for Pride.

Down in Oklahoma some days ago a
puny-souled partisan, stepped in igno-
rance or indulging in the vilest form of
malice, launched an attack upon Col.
Roosevelt by declaring that he had Sc
cured commissions for all of his sons,
but had placed them in positions of
safety behind the lines where there was
no possibility of their being injured.
The statement was so grotesquely false
rs to deny itself, and yet 1t was pub
lished throughout the length and
breadth of the land. 1t was not only
a wholly unjustified attack upon Col.
Roosevelt, but it was also cruel sland-
er upon his sons, who were at that
moment in the front ranks.
The four sons of Col. Roosevelt
volunteered their services in this war,
all of them in combatant positions.
Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt, of the fly
ing service, has been killed in battle.
Capt. Archie Roosevelt has been lying
for weeks in hospital under treat
mcnt for wounds received in action and
which threaten to leave him perman-
emily lame Upon the same day that
confirmation of the death of Quentin
was received by his family they were
also advised of the wounding Of Maj.
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is stated that
he has been sent to the hospital for
treatment, though his injuries are not
serious. The only one of the -four
Roosevelt boys who has not felt the
sting Of German weapons is Capt.
Kermit Roosevelt, recently of the Brit
ish army in Mesopotamia, who has
q been transferred to the American
army. And he wears upon his breast
the British military cross awarded for
gallantry in action. Col. and Mrs.
Roosevelt have reason to be proud of
the record Of men they sent out to
fight for their country; no weakling
in the Washington Post.

steers sell up to $12, but there is an
increasing number of useful red year

time ago.
Hogs.
The top of $1965 paid by order buy
ers looked shaky from the first this
morning, as Chicago came in with an
extreme top of $19.75. Packers held
off and stopped at $3.50. The top
was paid for heavy hogs, medium
weights selling up to $3.50, lights at
$3.50, though the top to packers on
lightweight hogs was $19.35, bulk of
sales $19.1O to $3.50. Stock pigs are
materially higher than a week ago, up
to $3.50. If the moderate receipts of
today are followed by light runs later
this week, the market may go higher,
but buyers say there will be no big ad-
vance this week.
Sheep and Lambs.
No good lambs were received, else
the top would have been around $3.50
the light run being not enough to sup
ply packers wants. Ewes sell up to
$3.50. There is a good strong de-
mand for feeding lambs at prices
equal to prices paid for fat lambs, and
breeding ewes sell at $3.50 to S1700,
according to age and quality.

immigration Board Notes.

In connection with its campaign to
aid men called to military service In
disposing of their business interests
the state board of immigration is
authorized to find purchasers for sew
eral excellent business properties in
different sections of the state. The
board offers this service free to pro-
spective soldiers, and feels that in so
doing it is rendering only slight
service in compensation for the service
these men are rendering the state and
the nation. Among the properties Of
fered are two good established drug
stores, a general merchandise store,
an electric light plant with flour and
feed mill in connection, complete
highway grading outfit and camp out
fit, and a 100-acre improved irrigated
farm. Detailed information about the
properties may be obtained from the
state board of immigration at the

Reports received by the state board
of immigration indicate that the num-
ber of people who have come from
other states to Colorado to make their
homes so far in 1918 has been nearly
as great as during the same period
in 1917, in spite of the influence of
the entry of the United States into
war, which has been Il tendency to re-
tard immigration. The inquiry from
people in other states who are seek
ing business and professional open
ings in Colorado is somewhat heavier
than it was at this time last year and
already a considerable number of
these people have located in the small
er towns in this state as a result of
the recent survey made by the board.
