THE WAR

The great German drive. on the
Western front is still a-coming. and
fighting on that front seems to be
confined to minor actions, In which
the French. British and Americans
are evidently getting the best Of 1t,
judging by the Associated Press dis
patches.
The Italians, aided by French and
British units, are gradually pushing
the Austro- Germans back.
The British continue to make good
headway In palestine.
The Russian muddle grows worse.
Lenine and Trotzky having COM
pleted their deal with the kaiser's
government by disbandiug the Rus
sian army, the Germans are having
no opposition In their march on
Petrograd.

Death Of Mrs. Chas. H. Crockett

1t is with deep regret that we have
to record the passing Of Mrs. Chas.
H. Crockett, which took place at her
home in Meeker, 1t s a. M, Monday
morning. February 25, 1918.
Signe Ehnbom Crockett was born
1t Norrkoping, Sweden, on October
ID, 1879, the daughter Of Emil and
Fredrique Ehnbom. When she was
three years old her parents moved to
the United States, making their
future home In this country. Before
her marriage, Mrs. Crockett taught
school in Meeker for the two terms
Of 1903 and 1903. 10, for which work
she was we'll equipped, being =
graduate Of tho University Of Colo
RADIO. She was married to Chas. H.
Crockett In June, 1910, four children
being born to this union, Of whom
the three eldest survive: Fredrique,
Alice Caroline and Davy.
During her residence here Mrs.
Crockett endeared herself to the

The Agricultural Survey

Mr.. Porter. the Federal agent who
has charge Of the Agricultural Sur
vey on the Western slope was In town
Tuesday OF this week and went over
the plan with me. 1t Is very esssn-
tial that every rancher be reached
and schedule be filled out by him.
Here are some Of the principal
reasons:
The government will be able to tell
by this survey how many acres Of all
crops are SOwn or are expected to be
sown. Then by taking the average
yield, will gain a good idea Of the
expected production, hence 1t will
enable the government to plan on the
future distribution OF the crops. its
transportation. and how to regulate
it 30 a. TO meet the demand.
Again II the survey shows that
there is too great All acreage Of GER
tain crop or crops this gives the gov
ernment . chance to have the same
curtailed, aud make special effort
to produce more OF the crops which
seem insufficient for the demand.
In view Of these facts, and Ms .
patriotic cause, 1t is urged that all
teachers ace that each rAncher be
supplied with blank and that the
rancher cooperate by filling the
blanks In every detail. II the teach
ers do not have enough blanks, have
the older pupils help you make some
Of tablet paper and distribute those.
The ones you make need to cover
only the crops, stock, ETC., produced
In your district.

fenced to dismissal from the service

Henkes, who is Of German descent,
endeavOred to resign his commission,
saying he did not care to fight against

Henkes was sent to France with

sent in his resignation, but instead Of
it being accepted, he was brought
back to America, and placed on trial,
as noted. 1t developed during his trial
that he had contributed to Won
