REPORT OF COMMITTEE
ON RESOLUTIONS

Following is copy of the resolu-
tions adopted by the Republican Coun-
ty Assembly Friday:
Resolved, that we, the delegates Of
the Republican County Assembly of
Delta County. Colorado, no hereby en-
dorse the time-honored principles of
our party and pledge our allegiance
to the party of great achievements.
The Republican Party has always
led in applied patriotism. At every
critical period in our recent national
politics, the strength of the Republi-
can Party has supported the president
in necessary legislation for winning
the war. without this support. which
has repeatedly turned the scales,
President Wilson would have been
thwarted by his own party. Surely
the party of Lincoln. of Garfield of
Mckinley. of Roosevelt and of Taft
is the bulwark of American patriotism.
Our first concern shall be to win
the great war in which we are en-
gagged and TO WIN 1T NOW We
pledge our services, our fortunes and
our lives to this great cause and our
loyalty to our officials from highest
to lowest, regardless of political par
ty. in all well directed efforts in the
prosecution of the war; and we COM
mend the action of the Republican
members of Congress and Of our State
Legislature in supporting the admin.
istration in all war measures and put.
ting patriotism above politics.
While pledging our loyalty. we re-.

and constructive criticism. Such cri.
ticism- when made in good faith,
makes for efficiency and routs cor
ruption. We feel that there never was
a time in the history of our country
when the united efforts of all our
people and of all parties were more
needed and we regret that our Ma.
tional Administration has not seen fit
to utilize the energy. ability and
craftsmanship of more leaders outside
their own party in this critical time,
when politics and partisanship should
be laid aside and all energies bent to
cost and of all other considerations.
And we object to politics being ad.
journed for the Republicans by an ad.
ministration which is and has been
playing politics harder than any
other in the history of our country
We believe that our State has been
too long misrepresented by c. s.
Thomas in the United States Senate
The cause of Woman's Suffrage has
been betrayed, our Industries assailed
and our national honor besmirched
by him. A long-suffering public de
mands his retirement We believe
that the State of Colorado deserves
more statesmanlike representation in
the U. S. Senate than that of John
Shafroth
We commend the efforts made ma
tionally to promote the production and
conservation of food. but protest
against putting the great powers OF
the food administration into the hands
of the heads of the milling and sugar
trusts.
Believing that this is a fair Assem-
hly. representing the sentiment OF the
Republican voters of the county, we
recommend the elimination of primary
fights for the same office within the
party. and that It be the sentiment
OF this Assembly that each candidate
except the one receiving the highest
vote Of this Assembly for each office
decline to make primary contest
and support the high man.

FATTEN FOWLS FOR MARKET
Skinny Poultry Means Anything bu'
Juicy, Tender Meat-Feed Heavily
for Two Weeks.

Fatten the poultry before you put
It on the market. 1t is shame the
way so much Of our farm poultry Is
fairly pitched on the market and does
the consumer wrong, for skinny
poultry means anything but juicy, ten
der meat, and this year will find many
flocks of this kind. Before getting rid
entirely OF the older fowls, as well as
the younger, pen them and feed them
heavily for at least two weeks. The
fat-for it is fat you want to put in
with this lean meat-will repay the
feeding, and the housewife who buys
will buy something fit to eat. Do as
you would do with your beef and
hogs-fatten before placing on the
market.

CORN SUPPLY IN LOUISIANA
University Expert Points Out Neees-
sity of Holding Enough to Meet
Absolute Needs.

reports have been received from
several portions of Louisiana that corn
is being sold ut approximately 81 per
bushel at the present time" says Dean
w. r. Dodson of the Louisiana state
university. ''In some cases 1t Is as
serted that there Is an inadequate sup
ply of corn in these very communities
to meet the requirements for the COM
ing year.
"Old corn is worth in ST. Louis ut
this time around 81 bushel; Decem-
Der deliveries are quoted at about
$1.oO, with every probability that the
price will be materially higher as the
season advances. Every indication
would stress the Importance of hold
ing enough corn in every community
to meet the absolute needs of every
body. independently of the price con-
sideration, traffic conditions may be
such as to prohibit us from securing
shipment of corn into Louisiana ter
ritory from distant states"

FATTENING CATTLE
ON SORGHUM GRAIN
One Of Best Ways to Market
This Crop in Southwest.
Pastures In Some Parts Are In Poor
Condition and Corn Crop Is Short
In Others-Silos Increase
in Number.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Feeding grain sorghum to fattening
cattle is one of the best ways to mar
ket this crop. Farmers In the south
west are urged to use an unusually
large production of sorghum grain this
year for the production of meat ami
mails. Pastures in some parts Of that
region are in poor condition and the
corn crop is short in other places.
These facts should cause a large in
crease in the use Of sorghum grain In
the Southwest for beef making this
winter.
Marketing grain in the form Of fat
tened cattle eliminates the costly haul
ing and shipping of the grain. In the
form Of meat, the grain also sells for
better price than usually can be got
for it as grain. Similarly the owner Of
cattle fattened on grain sorghums gets
the profit which under the system of
selling his cattle as feeders" goes to
the farmers Of the corn belt conduct
Ing feeding operations.
Experiments of the United States de-
partment of agriculture show that
sorghum grain has 80 per cent of the
feeding value of corn and is, therefore,
more economical than corn when it sells
for less than 80 per cent of the price
Of corn. The best system for fatten-
ing cattle in the sorghum grain grow
Ing sections, according to the special
lists includes the feeding Of silage and
a concentrate with the grain. Silos
have been increasing in number in the
Southwest during the last few years,
it is pointed out, and the region Is es-
pecially favorably located in so far as
an available supply of cottonseed meal
one of the best concentrates-is con-
cerned.

many as a hundred for each plant in
the field, are also killed.
8. The few adult weevils escaping
will be weakened by starvation, and
the great majority will not have suf-
ficient strength to pass through the
winter.
4. Development Of the late broods,
which experiments have shown furnish
the vast majority of weevils that pass
through the winter, is cut of imme-
diately. In this way hundreds Of
weevils that would develop from each
plant are absolutely prevented from
doing so.
5. The removal of the infested
plants with the weevils facili-
tates fall or early winter blowing,
which is the best possible procedure
in cotton raising. Moreover, this plow-
ing assists greatly in the production
of an early crop the following season.

attendant paraphernalia necessary to
the care and comfort of the thousands
of henchmen that rallied about the
standard of Coucy.
In the center rose chapel the orig
inal nucleus Of the chateau. Founda-
tons and grass plot are all that
remain. The fourth defense was the
chateau proper, great quadrangle as
spacious as most chateaux in their
ensemble. Each corner was crowned
with great cylindrical tower more
than a hundred feet in height, their
walls nearly five yards thick.
Then came the final defense. the
great donjon tower, the kernel Of the
impregnable nut which has never been
cracked, nearly 200 feet in height, 100
feet in diameter and at the base 80
odd feet thick, the most nearly perfect
example of the medieval architecture
of defense.
In 1914, a month after the opening
Of hostilities, the gray wave Of the
German army Of invasion had swept
over Coucy. Its great towers COM
mand the greater part Of the battle
field over which writhe three armies
In their titanic struggle. For this
reason the enemy placed their anti
aircraft guns and searchlights on the
tOpmOst tower. When in the middle
Of March they finally uprooted them
selves for the first time since the be-
ginning from their trenches and be-
gan their backward goosestep out Of
France, it was not likely that In the
holocaust Of destruction which they
left in their way, which included chill
dren's toys. family photographs and
the doghouse, they would forget the
Chateau Of Coucy.
AS the horizOn-blue lines of the
French vagues of soldiery came within
sight of the huge pile Of their nations
proudest medieval monument, SO long
hidden from their sight, thunderous
explosions rent the fair sky Of spring
time above Coucy, and they saw with
horror it's great towers totter and fall
through the veil Of smoke. With an
almost human groan there came to
their ears the rcnding crash of the
enormous fissure which broke through
the stern heart of the great dOnjOn.
And SO at last was cracked the kernel
of the nut which had remained i'm
pregnable for coo years.

COAST LINE OF BELGIUM
Nearly All Of II, In Peace Time, Given
Over to Seaside and Rest
Resorts.

Perhaps in no other war In modern
history have q few miles counted for
as much in the scales Of, victory as in
the present contest in west Flanders,
says a bulletin Of the National
Geographic society. The distance
which separates the allied forces from
full control of the coast of Belgium
is only thirty miles. Possession of
these thirty miles of coast line would
not only wipe out the German subma-
rine bases In Belgium, but 1t would
also give the allies a new front upon
which to attack in an effort to drive
the enemy out Of Belgium and north
ern Europe. Possession of this coast,
therefore. would be a double victory to
the allies, solely hampering the enc
my's submarine operations, and at the
same time affording an opportunity to
roll up his right flank on land.
Nowhere else may be found a more
striking contrast between peace and
war than that afforded by the Belgian
coast in 1913 and 1917. Practically
the entire coast line in normal times
is given up to the pleasures Of the sea-
side cities and rest resorts. La Panne,
