All Earn Titles

| Before our boys get back from
France they will all have earned
titles. Very seldom month goes by
but some young fellow reports that
he has been promoted, and what is
better news than to know that they
are doing all they were sent over to
do and a little more. A letter from
Vic Rhorstenson was received this
week by his mother. In it he says
Il am now sergeant, first class, and
draw $61 30 per month. That is
pretty good, isn't it, as l have no ex-
penses l think that when l want to
get rid of any of it I'll send it home
through the Y. M. C. A. The train
| from Romoantin to camp has just
come in and the boys are coming in
with their passes with their usual
noise and hustle" Two months ago
Vic was transferred to the Air Service
Repl. Squadron. His work is trans
fering of men from one company to
another. He has charge of the office
part and has a stenographer to help.
IIe says sergeants are allowed to try
for flying and he expects to try but is
afraid he cannot pass the stiff exami-
nation on account of having to wear
glasses.
In talking with A. P Zeller, he says
he thinks the telegram they received
about their son Dean being among
the missing, was a mistake, as they
have had letters written by him since
the date of the telegram He has been
wounded again and is in hospital.
The last letters received from him
were dated August II and they stat
ed that he was in base hospital.
Rudolph Klein told of some of the
France prices in his last letter. He
says they do not need these things
as the army provides everything but
the figures show what the others
have to pay. Eggs are $1.2O per
dozen; one lemon 10 cents; cookies,
not very sweet, 80 cents per pound;

We are beginning to feel the sugar
shortage. and we will feel greater
shortage before the 1919 sugar crop
comes in, according to Prof. Alvin
Kezer, of the Colorado Agricultural
College. "The Colorado 1918 sugar
crop will be about $4,000 tons short
of the 1917 crop if present prospects
are not changed" says Prof. Kezer,
(which means that we will feel the
pinch of a deficient sugar supply be-
cause of deficient acreage in our
own state.
"Now is the time to commence to
plan for the 1919 planting. The gov

protect the grower with a fair price.

Don't Know the Rules.

1t is quite evident that our American

of modern warfare. Ever since this

that it was customary or through
courtesy or something whenever one
side attacked the other has given

Stepping over the head Of It's

fare, the House Of Delegates s.rlr'
day voted.49 to Is, to resuscitate the
Gordon bill to amend the prohibition
! law so as to prevent punishment by
jail sentences Of persons who give
whiskey to friends. The measure
was thought dead when the commit
tee in secret session Friday voted
against it.
Debate cn this move and argu-
lnent on the bill TO create commits
sion to st9dy educational conditions
in Virginia, which was passed to the
third reading, consumed the entire
session. Bills to abolish the Office
Of Register OF the Land Office ana

with the Division CT Banking were
among those presented during the
day. The workmen's compensation
bin came in with a favorable report
from the House Committee on
Courts of Justice.
Delegate Gordon, in making the
motion to have the committee dis
missed from consideration Of his
prohibition amendment, said that as
the law now cxiste>; few juries could
be gotten to convict u person Of It's
violation. Delegates Boschen aud
