.SLvInG STILL NEEDED IF
new FOOD PROGRAM
IS TO Be A SUCCESS

During the coming year, America
must ship to Europe 100000 tons OF
food stuffs."
With this announcement, Herbert
Hoover, federal food administrator,
places on the American people a re-
sponsibility greater than any before.
The $3.50 substitute rulings have
been relaxed, the erstwhile ban upon
beef products has been lessened and
yet Americans must send 16,000.0 900
tons Of food next year to her allies.
This gigantic program means that
every man, woman and child who 10
for Liberty against Tyranny, must
make his eating, and his buying AZ
sane and saving as possible, and keep
the consumption Of vital food stuffs in
America down to the lowest point.
The relaxation Of the stricter rules il
not meant to lower the bars so that
boarding or excessive consumption 10
allowable. 1t is simply to relieve con-
sumers from rules which worked
certain amount of hardship, but
which were absolutely necessary dur
ing the wheat crisis Of fey months
ago.
The food adminetration still re-
serves the right to cSmmandeer any or
all flour consumers may have on hand
should the need ariss-as 1t did In
the spring Of 1917. 1t 10 hoped that
consumers will realize that out Of the
great harvest this year, = reserve sup
ply Of food must be built II future
short crops and decreased labor are to
be discounted and made harmless.
''The food administration will ex-
pect every patriotic American to hold
flour now purchased In trust. so to
speak, for ;uture use Of the govern
ment, and to keep that flour In such
a manner that 1t will not bs damaged
or ruined" declared T. B. Stearns,
food administrator for Colorado, in a
recent statement.

aoME FOLKS URGED
TO keep FAITH
WITH "YANkS" BY
CONTINUED SAVING
- Sword. . Spade and . Thought
Should Never BE Allowed
70 Rust"

70 Rust"
This was part of the wise philosophy
Of the women in Irish folk lore. and
It . now rich in wartime symbolism.
That the Allied sword 10 not being
permitted to rust is evidenced In the
recent victories on the western front.
Firearms are bright and shining. and
the enemy is on the run. There must
% no relaxing of the military pro
gram. American soldiers must be
kept going In . steady stream that
the Allied forces may push ON TO .
quicker victory.
These men must be fed. The civil.
ian's spade must not rust The great
or our accomplishment In putting
American soldiers in the European
battlefield the greater is the civilian
responsibility to keep their bodies tit
and their spirits buoyed.
American agriculture has had ban
ner year. The patriotic response OF
the farmers coupled with favorable
weather conditions has increased enor-
mously the cereal production SO that
all fear of famine has been removed.
Equally patriotic has been the 70
sponse in the planting Of war gar
dens. Recent reports on the planting
for 1918 show 5,2S5,0O0 food plots or
an increase over last year of 81 per
cent The estimated value OF these
food products is $525, 100000. or so per
cent increase over last year.
This is no time, however, to relax
either In production or saving. This
years bountiful harvest may be fol-
lowed by correspondingly poor one
next year More men will gradually
leave the fields for the army, and the
reaction will be felt at next years
harvest. Now is the time to prepare
for this by keeping up the conserva'
ton program and building up sur
plus for possible leaner days ahead.
Equal in Importance to the sword
and spade is to keep the thought OF
the American people free from rust.
The collective thought Of the nation
must be pitched on high place and
concentrated on the one goal-a con-
elusive peace.
A ysar ago last April America sent
word that she was coming. And she
has made good. Her men are there in
rapidly increasing numbers and the
allied fighters now know that her
sword will not be allowed to rust.
The morale of both soldiers and
civilians Is based largely on being
well fed That America IL ready and
willing to share her food was shown
in the wheat saving last year. She
not only decreased her own consump-
tion to meet the European demands.
but she increased her production Of
all cereals.
Americas sword and spade have In
jected new hope and the thoughts OF
the American people must not now be
allowed to rust. Europe has faith in
US, and we must maintain this faith

FOURTH LOAN THE FIGHTING LOAN.

AS the campaign for the Fourth Liberty
Loan approaches the American Army in France
moves on toward Berlin. Under our own leaders
the great American Army has won notable VIC
tory.
The Fourth Loan must be a great success.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is fighting loan.
When our soldiers on the battle front are brav-
ing death, each one offering to make the supreme
sacrifice for his country and the great cause, we
who remain safely at home surely should give
them every support, should make every sacrifice
to strengthen them. Ii we can not fight ourselves
we can make our dollars fight
1t is great cause for which America is en-
gagged in this war; it is great struggle in which
the very hope Of the world is bound up that is be-
ing waged IN Europe and on the high seas. 1t is
an honor to have apart in it and all Americans all
of their lives, will be proud of the part they had in
it or ashamed Of their failure to do their part
The Fourth Loan is fighting loan Every
subscriber to the loan strikes blow for Liberty,
for Victory.

ALL IN SAME BOAT.

Increased utility rates are an every day oc-
currence the country over.
The public realizes that increases are neces-
sary and little complaint is heard
Water, gas. electric telephone and, street cars
are all in the same boat and utility commissions
are granting legitimate increases as rapidly as it
is shown they arc necessary.
The Wisconsin utility commission went so far
as to censure utility company in that state for de-
lay III asking increases to maintain it's efficiency
at proper standard.
The utility companies have put their cards on
the table and the public convinced that increases
asked are just, hence antagnoism is rapidly dis
appearing.
The beet sugar industry in this section should
materially increase in both acreage and yield from
now on. The Arkansas Valley is one Of the most
favored sections in the county for the raising Of
sugar beets, and now that the price has been ad-
vanced for beets: which insures good margin for
tie grower. the acreage should be doubled in the
valley next year. Even after the war is over
America will have to furnish much of their sugar
supply to the foreign nations. Sugar beet raising
should become one of Colorado's largest and most
important industries to the end that all the idle
sugar fact ries throughout the valley may be full
lyrehablltatcd and in operation every season
