TO THE PEOPLE

The approach of another political
bienniel election is bringing TO me
from those who are especially inter

inquiries regarding my continued ser

already indicated to me that you are
unwilling to make the supervision of
your schools a mere political pawn
without regard for continuity Of con-
structiveserviee II is true that
am now serving my sixth year In this
position and If | believed your ideals
of educational service were lower
than those OF other counties that have
prolonged such service foramuch long
er period than six years, ! Ieoud not ex-
pect your further support, but my
long acquaintance with Weld Coun-
ty fully warrants the opinion that
proved efficiency is your chief require
ment in public service. believe

searching inquiry upon this basis es-
pecially If due consideration is given

1.-THE HICHTOWER
RED CROSS ENTHuSES

We had the pleasure last Saturday
evening OF attending a Red Cross
Auction and Pie supper at Higt Tow.
er, something like twenty miles north
OF Raymer.
The little school house was crowd
ed. with husky men and fair women
and lovely maidens, with a good
spinkling OF pretty babies thrown in.
Talks about the war and its ac-
tiyities by Louis Allen and the En-
terprise man were patiently listened
to by the audience, and then the
packages were sold.
Mrs. Ewing who acted as presiding
officer for the fore part OF the evening
turned the task of selling the pack
ages over to Mr.. Ewing who acted
the part of autioneer, and right we'll
he played the part. but he almost
became panic stricken when the goods
would not stay sold Time after time
the purchaser would pay for his
package and then send it back to be
sold over again until in desperation,
Mr.. Ewing bought the package him
self.
Chas Dooge relieved the tired and
worn auctioneer for the latter part
of the sale, and Mr.. Dendinger sold
the pies.
The sale altogether amounted to
the neat little sum of s73.25.
June l5h, dance and box social
will be given at Mr.. Ewing's barn
proceeds for the benefit Of the Red
Cross.

PETITION FOR SPECIAL
SCHOOL BOND ELECTION

The petition for the school in town.
ship 8, S. has now taken the form
OF petition asking that a special
election be called for the purpose OF
issuing bonds to build the school
building mentioned previously.
The petition is signed by ten vo-
tiers only, no attempt being made to
get large number of signers. but
simply the number required by the
law
The amount OF the bond issue is
not named. and this is determined
blythe board as nearly as may be after
consulting with contractors on the
probable cost of the kind OF building
called for, "a 40 feet.
Some people feel that the better
way would be to move one of the
buildings now there to the central
location.
It occurs to us that possibly two
or more propositions may be placed
on the ballot.
However, this will be submitted to
the signers OF the petition before any
action is taken.

THAT Y. NJ. c. A. FUND

We learn that as late as Sunday
some one 1--WE don't know who and we
don't care who) was reporting that
The Enterprise last week stated that
fifty per cent of the Y. M. G. A. Fund
contributed last fall was diverted to
ONE OF the causes represented in
the quadrangle drive.
We do not see how any intelligent
man could so distort plain English
The fact is that about ten per cent
was diverted to all four causes repres-
ented in the quadrangle drive and
that amounted to $65.00
That SOS 90 was by the sanction
of the government authorities divid-
ed as follows:
Fund for Armenian and Syrian Re,
lief, 4-l3ths, or $1,000;
Young mems Hebrew Association
l-l3th or 1910.
Salvation Army War Relief Fund
if3ths, or $1,000.
That fifty per cent dwindles to
about per cent.
We hope that none will intention.
ally attempt to deceive the people
in any such matter.
Roy White and little son Edwin
drove up from Cozad, Nebraska, last
week and will look after lands which
MIR. White bought here last fall.
They made the trip in fliver. -"

SEED TREATMENT
PREVENTS POTATO SCAD

Seed potatoes shold be treated for
the prevention of scab by one OF two
very satisfactory methods. In the ir-
irgated sections where rhizoctonia
is prevalent the corrosive sublimate
is recommended In other sections
the formalin may be expected TO give
equally good results.
Potato scab is one ofthe commonest
diseases in Colorado and becomes very
serious during certain years. II does
its greatest in alkaline soils and in
the presence OF abundant moisture
The following methods of treating
seed are recommended
Corrosive Sublimate-Potatoes are
soaked for one hour In a solution of
4 ounces Of corrosive sublimate to
3 gallons of water. The treatment
should be done in wooden vessels
This amount will be sufficient to treat
30 to 80 bushels. 1t should be re-
membered that corrosive sublimate
is very poisonous.
ldehyde-Potatoes are soak
ed for period of two hours in q So
Tuition Of pint of formalin Gao per
cent strength) in 80 gallons of water.
Either of these treatments, II per-
formed according to directions, will
be effective in controlling disease or
ganisms present on the tubers.-H.

COAL DEALERS
GET WARNING


get the supply of coal you have order
ed for storage. and many of you will
be unable to get your full require
ments due to a shortage of miners
in the mines, as many miners have
been called to serve the government
in War Work; due to transportation
facilities as all railroads are swamp
ed with an enormus increase in bus
mess with no increase of equipment
and decided decrease in labor due
to railroad men answering the call
to serve the government in War work,
also due to the Governments need of
coal in making war material, for
transporting supplies and men to Eu-
ope, Colorado's coal zone has been in
creased, and We must take care of
new districts in Nebraska and Kansas
which consumes 100000 tons of
coal
The Bituminous mines in this state
are working to the capacity of their
labor and transportation facilities,
but the Ignite mines are not work
ing to full capacity. due to mo or
ders"
To the dealers who are within the
Ignite fields, strongly urge that
you place your orders for Ignite coal
at once, and for immediate delivery.
Push 1t with the trade. Ignite coal
stores well If it is protected from the
elements, Even il ii does slack lit
tie. the consumer who has it in his
basement or coal bin next winter,
when his neighbor has none, will
find that II is very good coal
The United States Fsel Administra-
tion has designated the week of June
3 to s as, EARLY ORDERING
WEEK, so get busy with your trade;
give 1t all the publicity you can; get
their orders; this is not the time for
a consumer to demand a certain kind
of coal, he should be willing to take
what he can get. Therefore, tell
your customers you will deliver them
the kind of coal that you can get, and
lwhen you get II, deliver IL to the
customer who placed his order first
Let, First Come, First Served" be
your slogan.
| want to impress upon you the
seriousness of the coal situation in
Colorado. and If any community is to
be short OF coal this winter, | don t
want the fault to lay with the coal
dealer. If consumer refuses to take
the kind of coal you can get him, in
hopes that he can get his favorite
kind of coal and gets none, 1t will
be his fault and not yours, If you have
called his attention to the fact of the
scarcity Of his favorite kind, but that
you can furnish him with another
kind that would serve his purpose
during the winter months, you have
then done your duty.
| am seriously considering the Ii
censing of coal dealers for the pur-
pose of regulating and protecting
them against the so called SNOW
Bird and groups of consumers who
order coal by the ear load and dis
tribute II among themselves at no

individual expressions as to the needs

RAYMER'S FIRST
DECORATION DAY

Last Thursday was fine day In
every way. In the first place the
weather was fine. In the second place
the occasion was q patriotic one with
a good attendance OF splendid people
and the address was OF the kind need
ed at this time on such an occasion.
The procession formed at two o'clok
and marched to the cemetery, there
being In line the registered boys who
ar subject to call into military SER
vice for the present war;, escorting
the auto in which the three veterans
Of the Civil War were taken to the
cemetery. being Jesse F. Snow. Amos
Warrick and Joseph Gingrass. Fol-
lowing the veterans came the Red
Cross Girls and then the civilians in
autoes.
H. II. Northup was marshall Of the
day and kept the procession in order,
and exploiting matters as well as pos
sible, considering the conditions. The
procession was escorted by the Fis-
Gus Drum Corps.
With the veterans rode the speaker
Of the day. Hon. Halstead L. Ritter
OF Denver.
The procession went to the cemetery
and placed wreaths OF simple native
flowers on the graves o. the three
veterans buried there, C. B. Barker,
ID. NJ. Francis, and Mr.. Hughes.
The ceremony at the cemetery was
impromtu, consisting of prayer, a
song. and a few impromtu remarks
by Jesse F. Snow. and patriotic ap-
peal by Mr.. Northup for remembrance
of the old veterans and the suggestion
that all take the three remaining
veterans by the hand and congratu-
late them upon their part in the
great struggle for the Union. He said
that he believed 1t better to remem-
ber the living soldiers than to strew
flowers for the dead.
Following the exercises at the cem-
etery, the program at the school house
was carried out as follows:
Song by girls followed by America,
audience joining.
Prayer by Rev. Griffin.
Following the Battle Hym Of the
Republic by the audience Mr.. Ritter
was introduced and del. re. .ae -
dress OF the day. 1t was fine tri-
butte that the speaker paid to the
soldiery OF this country, paying most
attention to the present war and
our part in the same.
Mrs. Helmann rendered solo
which delighted and pleased the au-
dience.
Mrs. Ritter was prevailed upon to
give a reading from the book "Over
the Top which she rected in way
that will make her long remembered
by Raymer people who be glad to
hear her again.
The old soldiers had requested
that Lincoln's Gettysburg Day Ad-
dress be read, and Miss Floye Allen
kindly consented to render the same,
giving that greatest short immortal
in a way that showd its beauty and
Realing the list of names OF the
profound wisdom most impressively'
boys in service from here, singing the
Star Spangled Banner and few an
nouncements ended the program and
leaving all patriotic pulses beating
a little faster as result Of the first
observation day in Raymer.

SHOWERS FOR THIRSTY GROUND

Before the arrival of the stork

the chief topic, and there is sure
to be some one who has used or

Nausea, nervousness, bearing

other symptoms so familiar to many
periences thousands of mothers say
they entirely escape by the use OF
this famous remedy.
Its influence on the fine network

By the regular use of Mothers

DICK BEGINS HIS STORY.

After the dedication which I have
already given to you. little book Of
mine. Dick said, II expect it is be-
cause I have been told a most dis
heartening piece of news that 1 am
writing this somewhat assinine thing.
Perhaps. dear Margie. it is also be-
cause I have also known what great
comfort you have found in your little
book, is another reason why am 60
ing to try and write down my side of
our life's story. But this manuscript,
my dear. will be different from yours
because you have always said that no
eyes but my own will ever see your
little book and these pages, wife O
mine, are expressly written for you.
II expect 1 would never have
dreamed Of doing this had not Dr.
Virot told me this morning that If l
should live over six months IL would
be on stolen time.
1T rather pulls a man up short, to
have the sentence of death passed up-
on him. And I think when a man
gets his from his physician. it feels
different-more sure even than when
a man receives his from a Judge.
There must be more hope in a
mans heart. even though an hour be-
fore he has stood before a stern
judge in q black cap and heard him
pronounce his death sentence, than in
the heart Of q man who has heard
words of the same import from the
plying and kindly lips Of q physi-
clan.
'I have thought for a long time.
that my life was not Of long dura-
ton. but to have that thought con-
firmed and put into words after a
long physical examination by a dag
nosucian, in whom one has the
greatest confidence, rather shakes
one up.
II do not believe I am afraid, Mar
gle, but must confess I am passing
a sleepless night. It seems so strange
to project my thoughts into the fu-
ture few months and see you with
babe at your breast and know that
will not be there to look upon your
happiness.
And. Margie,. someway tonight 1
ana like a drowning man-all my life
with you-for dearest, I really did not
live until you came into my arms and
home-is passing before me, and I see
my great mistakes and my little sue
cesses.
AS you read this. Margie, expect
at the end you will remember that
quotation that was SO often on your
nps-I can't remember the exact words
but 1t was about how everything in
the hves Of all of US would go on
placidly II only the dead could some
times come back and be forgiven.
IS Il used to think when you gave the
correct quotation that 1t was rather
senseless, but now know that the
poet knew Just what he was talking
about, for the one great thought, the
one great longing in my heart to-
night, dear wife, is that I might be
able .eo creep into your arms after
you have read these pages and be
forgiven. For, when you read these
pages, Margie, will be gone out OF
your Life forever and, however much
! would like to do so, can not come
back. even to be forgiven BY my gen.
erous hearted wife.
7 have often wondered how much
