PINTO PRODUCERS PROSPER

Recently the U. S. Food Admins.
tration Grain Corporation had the
placing OF an order for ten million
rounds OF beans for a European ma
ton.
Plain Mr.. Pinto Bean OF Colorado
won this big order to be delivered in
New York City December 18th.
The price which will be paid is 7
cents net at Colorado shipping points,
100000 being gained for the pinto
bean industry in Colorado from this
one order.
To clear up misunderstanding as to
why pinto beans bring instead OF 10
cents this year. the United States
Food Administration for Colorado
states that last year the government
bought the crop outright at a forced
price to encourage the young indus
try-an emergency measure only
This year, pintos must compete In
price with Japanese grown beans. Of
fered handpicked and in perfect con-
dition at $5 per hundred, delivered at
Coast points.
California pinks bring only 5% cents
pound. With the exception OF Michi-
gan navies. pinto beans lead the field
in price paid.

MEAT AND FAT FAMINE A
POSSIBILITY!

The meat situation threatens to be-
come serious. according to the Colo
RADIO Food Administration.
Outside of the military zone in
France there is practically no meat
In that country: what there is. Is out
of the reach of the poor people In
price.
In England, the British food con-
troller has found It necessary to re-
duce the meat ration from one pound
to three-quarters of pound per capita
weekly. There has also been gen
eral rise in price to the consumer OF
4 cents a pound in all meats.
In America Herbert Hoover has
promised that out of the none too
plentiful meat supply of this country
100000 tons of meat and fats will be
shipped to Europe during this current
year to relieve the situation ovei
there
The Food Administration therefore
urges the most intense and concen.
trated saving of meat and OF fats.
Coming high prices on these COM
modities will enforce some saving in
them. but for the most part the
patriotism of the American people will
again be, depended upon to fill this
$500 ,000-ton meat and fat order.

A letter has been received by Mrs.
Dwight Bone acknowledging the Oc-
tober payment for the eight chilt'ren
adopted by the Ordway Parent-Teach-
er Association. also assigning the
eight children who are to be our
proteges. giving names and addresses,
also mothers names.
We have the children of two fami-
lies. four girls and four boys, ranging
in age from two years to thirteen
years of age. One pair of twin Logs
age eleven. Mrs. Bone will gladly
give the names to anyone interested
and let you read the letters and IL
letins regarding this work. 1t will
soon be time to send the November
payment, so the committee would be
glad to hear from anyone wishing to
help in this worthy cause.
The letter requested that the COM
mittee thank the members of the as
sociation for their generous subscrip-
tion.
We understand that the King Cen

Peace Pact Upsets
All Food Plans

With ocean lanes to all markets OF
the world open again. the food situa-
ton has bean overturned and en.'rels
new conditions set up.
Az q consequence the issuing Of the
1919 Home Card announced by the
Food Administration has been aban-
doned, a new inventory OF the worlds
food supplies Is now being taken, and
Herbert Hoover plans to announce to
America very shortly an entirely new
and amazing food program.
Indications are that, with plenty OF
wheat now available from India, Aus
tralia, Baltic ports. and the Argentine,
no further wheat saving will be asked.
but that on every other food product
particularly fats and sugar-the lid
will tighten firmer than ever.
Wheat may now be fed to animals
without the customary permit from
the Food Administration. the rules
formerly forbidding the sale Of wheat
as feed having been repealed. accord
ing to word received by the Colorado
food board.
When definite reports from the con.
Quered peoples come in on the CON
dition of their food supplies and the
needs OF their respective countries
America will find that she must sup.
ply not only the anticipated 17.55O,OOu
tons-and MORE-of food stuffs. but
must share her dairy herds. swine.
beef cattle and poultry to restocS
European farms. is the belief OF the
Food Administration.
Holland. for example. has already
put in an order for $4,000 head OF
dairy cattle.

Flu Situation Is
Not Serious Yet

Ordway has avoided the influenza
epidemic to a marked degree up un-
til a few days ago when several cases
developed and now there are in the
neighborhood of twenty-five persons
who are sick or who are recovering
from the disease. The local physic-
ians, DR.. Jeffery, DR.. Lorimer and DR..
McCleary caution against people be-
coming excited as there is no reason
for fear. In fact little conservat-
ism along with proper caution and
care will prevent any serious epi-
demic. The death rate has not been
high anywhere in this state consider
ing the large number who have been
afflicted, and the most of those were
in the high attitudes.
At Olney Springs there are only a
few cases within the town. that be-
ing confined to three families, but
in all the country surrounding in
every direction, 1t is stated. there are
numerous cases. DIR. McKeeby, the
physician at Olney, nas been going
night and day, and then the doctors
from Fowler have been called upon
to go into the county north of
Fowler into Crowley and Pueblo.
even rough estimate of the cases in
the west and northwest portions OF
the county, as is true of the situation
in other parts.
At Sugar City DR.. Workman and
DR.. Graham each report q number
of cases and during the first part OF
the week several new cases develop
ed. On Wednesday no new ones
were reported but there have been
days ever since the epidemic started
when no new cases developed. The
old National hotel building was con-
yerted into hospital to be used en-
tirely as such. however, at no time
have there been many patients there,
four being the number Wednesday
of this week
Several deaths have occurred dur
ing the past two weeks and within
the past week there have been five
deaths.
Crowley has been the hardest hit
according to the size of the com
munity and the school house which
had been set aside as a hospital had
twenty-nine cases on Wednesday of
this week. DR.. Lorimer has been
in attendance there and Mrs. Mac
Whitney, gave her services as nurse
and has been admirably handling the
situation with excellent help she has
been given from others of the vicinity.
The patients have been getting along
well and the care that they are get
ting at this improvised hospital
where there is steam heat and plenty
of good ventilation as well as nutri-
tious foods,
In the vicinity surrounding Crow
ley and in the vicinity of King Center
there are n number of people who
are i'll, and one death has occurred
at King Center, and one in the Bob
Creek district.
There are not many cases in the
northwestern parts of the county yet
there are a few to be found in every
community. Some o. those who are
Ill at Crowley and Sugar City are
residents of the north farming dis
tricts.

GoMPERs ENDORSES WORK
(Denver Labor Buiietin.)

Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation Of Labor. In .
recent address in London, England
said that American labor fully real
lied the work being done by the Y. M
C. A. and Red Cross. He spoke at a
luncheon given At Washington inn. In
st. James Square. q home for Amer
lean officers.
Let me say here" he said. that
American labor is realizing that the
work of the Y. NJ. C. A. and the Red
Cross is invaluable-how valuable II
is impossible to estimate. Labor
realizes that these organizations are
making 1t possible for us to win the
war; indeed, certain that we shall
win 1t, and they are going to continue
to stand back OF the Y. M. G. A. and
the Red Cross as well as the rest oi
their brave expeditionary forces"
Speaking of labor In general and oi
the war, Mr.. Gompers said:
"The working people OF the United
States have the right to strike; they
have the right to stop work. But
they are not striking; they are not
stopping work-because they realize
they must stamp out autocracy.
ut has been suggested that peace
shall come by negotiation, but the
negotiations will only take place
when the autocratic machine of Ger.
many has been crushed. 1t would be
a crime to stop the war in such condi
tiop and we could look for another
war in decade or So"

dorses the united war work cam.

Neqas and Comment

One Of the most pathetic Of figures 10 the
hopelessy uninsptred ana unframed minor poet,
with nothing to say and no knowledge OF how to
say It according to the rudimentary rules Of
poetry
The war appears to have stirred the impulse to
write in many otherwise sane persons, and q ter
rifytns1y large percentage Of them have taken to
poetry.
Magazine refusals ore no deterrent Publish
ers' polite notes declining opportunities to put
forth books Of ''verse" do not daunt them
They publish the books at their own expense
A young engineer will take advice from expert
encei O. young doctor will attend clinics; a young
attorney will eagerly absorb tips from more prac-
ticed co-worlters, but the young poet scorns the
Judgment Of magazine editors and publishers
Their refusals are held to show only ignorance
and failure to recognize genius. But If amour
propre is appeased, probably no great harm is
done beyond the waste Of white paper
All Of the foregoing is inspired by the receipt
Of booklet entitled Verse and Worse" pub
lished in New York "by the author and marked
"for review" The author is a very attractive
young woman judging from her picture in the
front Of the book, but trying to be kind, we will
go no further in discussing the book than to say
the first two words OF the title should be elm
mated, and to quote one Of the worse:
II am g. woman fair to behold,
Two suitors have come to me;
Cne is rich in measures Of gold,
While the other is poor you see," etc.
To the extent Of six verses ending with the
choice of the "one who is poor you see'. The
books must have cost at least 50 cents apiece to
publish, and this young woman is one Of perhaps
q rnillon-to say nothing Of the men-headed this
way
Talking Of horrors Of warI
Its a great victory, but it's not another
Sedan" Is an expression frequently heard these
days.
In the hope Of saving several hundred Of The
Forums readers the trouble Of investigating, we
elucidate:
Sedan is a town on the frontier Of France,
about so miles northeast Of Rheims in the prov
lnce of the Ardennes. It is or was a strong
frontier fortress. It surrendered to the Germans
in 1915, but its chief claim to fame is the fact
that the army Of Napoleon II, 5000 strong, sur
rendered to the Germans at Sedan in 1870. The
Germans, commanded by King William of Prus-
Ella, began the battle on September /. The French
army was surrounded in the fortress after hard
fighting, and being without provisions were
forced to surrender. It was the crucial battle
Of the war, and since that date it has always
signified disasterSto the French
Perhaps the best answer to the statement that
the recent victory was not a Sedan, is that no
Sedan was planned or expected, and anyway. we
got nice little runabout out Of it. speaking in
automobile terms
