PORK AND SUGAR.
Declares Necessity Exists in Aid Of
Our Allies and Our Soldiers
Over the Seas.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-Governor Gunter has Is

To the People of the State of Colo
RADIO:
Whereas, a most imperative neces-
sity exists in aid of our allies and our
soldiery over the seas. to reduce our
home consumption of wheat, beef,
pork and sugar; and
Whereas, our President. by procla-
nation to the American people, has so
declared and has urged upon them as
controlling war measure the neces-
sity of reducing the consumption OF
wheat products. beef. pork and sugar.
and that all unnecessary consumption
of food must be rigidly eliminated;
and
Whereas, in aid thereof the food adj
ministration has formulated sugges-
lions as to substitutes. such as pota-
toes. vegetables. corn. barley and oats.
and as to the observance of wheatless
and meatless meals and days;
Now, therefore, /. julius c. Gunter,
as governor of the state of Colorado.
realizing the wisdom of the appeal OF
our President and the absolute neces-
sity of its observance to avert want
upon our soldiery and our allies, and
knowing that our people will zealously
and periodically respond, as they have
at all times so readily done to the
calls of the nations chief, do hereby
impress upon your attention this proc

suggestions formulated by the food ad-
ministration hereunder, and most
earnestly urge upon our wholesalers,
retailers, jobbers, manufacturers, our
citizens in their homes and all others
concerned, to reduce the purchase and
consumption of wheat and wheat pro-
ducts and to substitute therefor pota-
toes, corn, vegetables, oats, rice and
other like products. and l further urge
upon our citizens to reduce the con-
sumption of beef pork and sugar, and
to eliminate all waste and unnecessary
consumption of food and food pro-
ducts.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be affixed
the great seal of the state.
Done at the state capitol in Denver.

first machine, people heard of the won
derful invention and broke into his
house. They carried away the model
and soon dozen similar machines
were in use. This was before Whit
ney could obtain a patent. lie worked
night and day to produce another
model so that he could go to WASH
ington and patent it. but he was handi-
capped for lack of funds. At length
the patent was secured and then two
years OF struggle elapsed before Whit
ney succeeded in proving the superb.
GRITTY of his machine over the imita-
tons.
In 1795 he returned from the South
to New Haven, where his factory was
located, only to find that 1t had burned
down. All his machines and papers
were destroyed. In answer to his let
ter apprising Miller what had occurred
the latter replied, ~ will devote all
my time, all my thoughts, all my exer-
lions and all the money 1 can earn or
borrow to encompass and complete
the business we have undertaken"
Whitney set to work to replace hls
factory. He had great difficulty In
securing the necessary capital. To
add to his difficulties, certain manu-
facturer in England stated that the
product of the machine was unsatis-
factory. Whitney wrote to Miller.
THE extreme embarrassments which
have been for long time accumulat-
ing upon me have now become SO great
that it will be impossible for me to
struggle against them many days
longer"
he was still forced to fight In the
courts because of heterogeneous. Law
suits went against him.
At last Whitney succeeded in sell
ing rights of his machine to the state
of South Carolina for $4,000. He re-
peated this in North Carolina and Ten
nessee. But then when success
seemed within his grasp, South Caro-
lima attempted to reclnd It's action and
announced 1t would not pay the $780,
900 and tried to have the money al
ready advanced to Whitney returned.
Affairs were at the darkest point in
Whitney's long struggle. Just as he
was about to give up. South Carolina
thought better of It's decision and paid
the inventor in full.
But better day seems to have ar
rived for inventors. Modern indus
trial progress has made so many de-
mands for better methods that lnven-
tors are now eagerly sought inter and
usually treated fairly. Financial aid
is easier to secure. The individual
investor. when he purchases his bono
may be assisting the development Of
an invention every bit as revolution
airy as the cotton gin. Without the
aid of his thrift the worlds progress
could hardly proceed.

1t has been said that there is room
for just so much in the human brain
and If ones ability is as highly spe-
cialized as an inventors. there is no
chance Of being capable In business
affairs. Certainly, this has been borne
out In the case of most inventors
Those servants of civilization have,
almost without exception, faced flnan-
cial difficulties of the most disheart-
ening character. Only few were for
tunate in connecting up with men Of
business ability who relieved them of
financial responsibilities.
Watt, the inventor Of the steam en-
CINE, was so situated. When he start
ed his experiments he was the pos
SCISSOR of a prosperous instrument
making business, employing sixteen
men. He soon became greatly in debt
and formed partnership with a Doc
tor Roebuck, who agreed to pay ST.
900 of his debts, provide money for
further experiments and secure a pat
ent. In return for these advances he
became two-thirds owner. After the
two had achieved partial success Doc
tor Roebuck suffered financial re-
verses. He was forced to transfer his
interest to Matthew Boulton, a famous
merchant of Birmingham, to whom he
was In debt. Boulton was just the
sort of business genius Watt required.
He built a factory for the manufac-
ture of steam engines and financial
difficulties hanpered Watt no more.
Edison, on the other hand, early In
his career refused an offer for a part
ner. Although he has built up large
fortune he has frequently lost prac-
tically everything he possessed and
been forced to start all over again.
His business methods were some
times impractical In the extreme. Once
Edison was offered 100000 for an
invention. He voluntarily offered to
receive payment In annual INSTALL
ments of $4,000 without interest
Again, he once received an offer by
cable for 10000" He accepted. When
he received his remittance he was
greatly surprised to learn that it was
100000. He had expected $4,000.
Ell Whitney. inventor of the cotton
gin. never really freed himself of f.
nancial worries. He went in partner
ship with a Mr.. Miller, and the two
were forced to fight almost continual
ly for their rights. While Whitney
was experimenting and producing his
