IN MORTAL

In memory of our dear comrade,
Charlie Hazelhurst, we wish to ex-
press our appreciation and regard for
him. "Chuck" came into our midst
Sept. End, 1918, and thru his straight
forward. manly. sacrificing character,
won the implicit confidence of all the
people he met. He was ever the ex-
emplification of unselfshness itself
and wore the pleasant, friendly smile
that wouldn't come off. "Chuck" was
a young man of very promising fu
ture. His every task was entered in
to with cheerful sincere desire to
exert his best known in Greeley high
school, which institution he attended
up until the time school closed.
"Chuck" took an active part in ath-
letics and was recognized as the best
quarterback Greeley "high" ever had.
He came to us highly recommended
from Gunnison and it is with great
sadness that we see life so replete
with future prospects taken from us,
Greeley Tribune Republican.
Charlie was a Gunnison raised boy
and no young man. of his age in the
county was perhaps better known or
better loved by the entire commun-
ity. than Charlie. He was ever ready
with that unselfish, cheerfulness to
do or give to others the best Of his
life. Charlie passed away at Greeley,
Colo, Nov. 30, 1918, of influenza.
The people of Gunison, as well as
those of Greeley also cherish his
memory.
Oh. Joys that are gone.
Will they ever return
To gladden. our hearts as of yore,
viii we find you awaiting us some
happy morn,
When we drift to eternity shore?
Will the brown eyes meet ours as
in days that are past?
Will we thrill at the touch of your
hand?
Oh, Joys that are gone, will we find
you at last e
On the shores of that wonderful land?

This is the concise statement OF the
butter situation in Colorado issued by
Robert j. Grant, executive manager
of the state food administration.
That the food administration. Is
strictly enforcing the existing regula-
tions on butter and cheese, is shown
by the records OF informal hearings
given Denver restaurant men last
week who violated these rulings.
Even II consumers butter cards
should be issued to curtail the states
consumption OF butter. these cards
would not effect the use Of butter by
farmers who produce their own cream
cry products. The Food Adminfstra-
tion therefore will make a special ap-
peal to farmers to save voluntarily on
their own abundant tables. Just as city
people are arbitrarily restricted In the
use Of butter and cheese.

Book. Needed for Ne. in Hospitals

There are tens of thousands of
wounded men in our army hospitals
and every returning transport ship
brings more thousands. Many of
these men will be in hospitals for
months, some for year or more, be-
fore they are sufficiently recovered
to be discharged from the army.
These men need books. They need
books more than they need almost
anything else.
Every good story book that can be
spared from anyone's personal book
shelf will find it's way quickly into
the hands of some soldier or sailor
who needs mental relaxation and rec
reation if it is taken to OLeary's

Library on or before Jan. 6, 1919.

COLORADO FOOD BOARD
.SOUELCHES PROFITEER

That the U. 8. Food Administration
for Colorado is still on the alert to
suppress profiteering is shown by the
case of the fremont Delicatessen
Company, 4O1 Fifteenth street. Dem
yer, heard by the food board last
week. The company was found to
have been charging so cents pound
for butter and was promptly ordered
to reduce the price to rs cents per
pound, which is the maximum retail
price permitted on butter under the
present market A second offense
would result in the shutting off OF
the company's supply of licensed food
commodities, the food administration
warned.

table. Doctor Weiderman, the kings
physician, Is one Of u.s." he whispered.
1.-THE king lives now only because Of
=stimulants to the heart. His body is
already dead. When the stimulants
cease, he will die"
Old Adelbert covered his eyes. He
had gone too far to retreat now.
Driven by brooding and trouble, he had
allied himself with the powers Of dark
ness.
He sat silent while the concierge
cleared the table, and put the dishes
in pan for his niece to wash. And
throughout the evening he said little.
at something before midnight he and
bis host were to set out on grave
matter, nothing less than to visit the
committee of ten, and impart the old
soldiers discovery. In the interval he
sat waiting, and nursing his grievances
to keep them warm.
Black Humbert, waiting for the hour
to start and filling his tankard repeat
eddy, grew loquacious. He limited OF
past matters in which he had proved
his value to the cause. Old Adelbert
gathered that, if he had not actually
murdered the late crown prince ana
his wife, he had been closely con-
,cerned in it. His thin, old flesh crept
with anxiety. 1t was a bad business
and he could not withdraw.

He was very shiny with soap and
water and his hair was still damp
from parting. In his tailless black
Jacket, his long gray trousers, ana MS
round Elton collar, he looked like
very anxious little schoolboy, and not
royal at all.
Greetings over, and having re-
ouested that his tea be half milk, with
four Jumps of sugar, he carried his
CUP over beside Hedwig, and sat down
on a chair. Followed short silence

Kinu Karl.

"They love us dearlyw said King
Karl.
The chancellor, who sat beside him
in the royal carriage, shrugged his
shoulders. "They have had little rea-
son to love, in the past, majesty" he
said briefly.
Karl laughed, and watched the
crowd. He and the chancellor rode
alone, Karrs encourage, very modest
one, following in another carriage.
There was no military escort, no pomp.
1t had been felt unwise. Karl, paying
ostensibly a visit of sympathy, had
come unofficially.
The chancellor was not so calm as
he appeared. He had lined the route
from the station to the palace with his
men; had prepared for every contin-
gency so far as he could without call
