DR.. WEIGH WRITES
Denver, Colo, Dec. 16, 1917.
Mr.. j. B. Miller,

Denver, Colo, Dec. 16, 1917.
Mr.. ]. B. Miller,
Liberal, Kansas.
Dear 81. b. This is Sunday
morning but l have the time to write
this morning and as things are very
uncertain in the army | thought l
would better make use of this oppor-
tunity.
Thousands of enlisted men have
come in during the past few days and
as a result several train loads are
being brought to Denver for lodging
and board. Several hundred of us
are at the Windsor hotel, and every
other good place in the city has its
soldiers; but still, according to the
officer in charge, they are looking for
places for about nine hundred more
this morning.
We eat at the R. r. hotel The
'"hashers" all over the city went on
a strike few days ago and the Red
Cross ladies are waiting on the tables
and it would be impossible for any
hotel to give us better service. Much
is said both for and against army life,
but, on the whole, the boys are be-
ing treated royalty and like it.
Neither of these places-the fort
or Denver - lies straight with the
world, so | find it rather hard to keep
the directions, but | know that the
mountains are west of us and the sun
always nearly always-comes up in
the east and sets in the west, so that
is some help.
Denver is new to me and as have
never before been near the Rocky
mountains l, of course, find them very
interesting. One certainly sees some
sights here-anything from the huge
Rocky mountains, with their snow
capped peaks against the blue back
hunchbacked negro ''newsy" on the
street corner, who sways back and
forth, rolling his eyes at terrific
rate and chewing in way that would
make a monkey ashamed Of himself,
taking time to let out an occasional
"croak" which l finally-after look
ing at his papers-made out to be a
substitute for the word, "Post". 1t is
all very interesting, but, Of course, I
miss Liberal and some of her popula-
ton a great deal.
You may publish this if you like
and when | am able to send you
permanent address-or dependable
one-I will do so and then if anyone
wants to help the cause along by
sending us few lines we will be glad
to get them. I see all of the Liberal
boys who came with me nearly every
day. JONI d. WEIGH.

THEY FIT THE TIMES

Did Tennyson vision this New
Years when he wrote these lines:
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky!
Ring out the old, ring in the new.
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace !!
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand!
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be!

Change Certificate of
Deposit into
BABY BONDS

There are many of our patrons
who have time deposits with us that
could be extending good for the gov
eminent and, at the same time, be
helping themselves by buying the.
amount deposited in the War-Savings
Stamps. The interest is attractive and
the government would appreciate the
change at this time.
This bank is anxious to see good
sale for the War-Savings Stamps and,
therefore makes this suggestion. The
stamps are secured by the govern
ment and the interest is as sure as the
revenue now received on the time
deposit.

HOW TO CAN
BERRIES

| For dewberries, blackberries, logan
| berries, huckleberries, raspberries, and
] currants practically the same methods
of canning may be used. The condit
ion of the fruit will have much to do
with the quality of the product Berries
should be gathered in shallow trays or
allow them to be bruised and crushed.
They should be uniformly ripe, sound,
and as large as possible.
After the berries have been sorted
carefully and washed lightly by placing
in colander and pouring water over
them, instead of immersing them in
water, pack as closely as possible with
out crushing. This can be done better
by putting a few berries into the jar,
pressing them gently into place, and
proceeding layer by layer, than by
nearly filling the jar loosely and then
trying to press them down.
Fill jars full of fruit and cover with
hot strip. Boiling berry juice or other
sirups can be used instead of sugar
strip. Partially seal jars. Boil (pro-
minutes. Seal. When cold test for
leaks and store in cool, dark, dry place.
The use of sugar strip, made by
boiling pounds and ounces of sugar
to gallon of water and straining adds
to the flavor of the canned berries The
use of berry juice expressed from
extra berries instead of water in max
ing the strip will give richer color
and flavor.-U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.

SENATOR OFFERS
BILL TO make
U. S. BONE DRY
Would Prohibit Making or
Sale of All Liquors as Bev-
erageS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IL
Impetus was given preparations for
the senate drive for nationwide pro-
hibition for the period of the war to-
day when Senator Jones of Washing
ton introduced an amendment to the
agricultural extension bill to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of all Hqu-
ors for beverage purposes.
Although the prohibition leaders
are prepared to urge the amendment
vigorously, there are many senators
who question it's constitutionality, and
are looking into the subject seriously.
They hold that prohibition is matter
which must be considered from con-
stitutional standpoint, and that abso-
Lutte prohibition for the whole nation,
even as war measure, cannot be eff
fected without a constitutional amend
ment, which already has been submit
ted to the states.
They hold that the Jones amend
ment interferes with state rights.
Senator King of Utah. who is a Pro-
hibtionist, said he would not vote for
the Jones amendment for that reason.
With respect to distilled liquors,
the Jones amendment would make it
unlawful to sell, furnish, or trans
port distilled spirit for beverage pur-
poses, and no distilled spirits held in
bond at the date Of approval Of this
act shall be removed therefrom for
beverage purposes
Thirty days after approval Of the
act the use Of all foods and fruits in
the manufacture Of beer and wine for
beverage purposes would be prohibit
ed.

Road Tie-Up Worst
In History; Human

Another day of sub-zcro weather

result in a general transportation dis

The chief development OF yesterday
was the breaking down of the human
element. Tire railroad workers Of the
country have gone through two solid
months of fightng-labor has worked
at such high tension and under such
fearful conditions that it is unable to
stand much more Of it. Yesterday
morning there were 1900 freight hand
lcrs missing at the New York Port

broken down. They were reported sick,
suffering from frostbitcs and in need
OF days rest after laboring long hours
daily for weeks, without holiday.

ployes have left their posts, not be-
