the supply of food stuffs, we plowed
and planted eighteen acres of ground.
We raised the hardy grains and veg
etables including thirty-five tons of
potatoes.
We built poultry house and yards
for two hundred hens. We made en-
of two second feet. This gives us
ample water rights and makes our ag-
ricultural projects possible.
3. The Conservator of Foods for
Gunnison County is member Of the
faculty. He organized a committee
which secured pledges to conserve
food and to observe meatless Tuesdays
and wheatless Wednesdays. He en-
forced regulations concerning the re-
tail trade in sugar and -four, and is
now investigating transportation diff
ficulties and has reported boarding of
foodstuifs.
1. The County Director of War
Savings is a member of the faculty,
also. He has instituted lively thrift
campaign. Sales of stamps and GER
tificates aggregated si536.00 to Janu-
AIRY 81.
5. A member of the faculty has
been on the Gunnison County Council
of Defense and before the organiza-
ton of that group, was a member of
the County Ways and Means Commit
tee. The latter organization was ac-
tive in making the surveys of the la
Dor situation, in pushing the home
garden movement, and in the distri-
button of seeds on a larger scale. 1t
took an invoice of live stock and 9TH
er marketable products, as ordered by
the State Committee, and made re-
turns on all these matters.
When the County Ways and Means
Committee was discontinued, certain
of its members continued to serve on
the Council of Defense, and in connec-
ton with that organization, have as
sisted in effecting the Liberty Loan
drives and the Red Cross and Friend
ship fund drives. They are presery-
ing the history of the boys at the
front in order to keep in close touch
with them and with their home friends
and relatives. As an organization the
Council of Defense stands ready to
answer every call.
A member of the faculty is the To-
cal Scoutmaster. His scouts are or
ganized to help win the war. They,
to a boy, worked all summer and fall
in cultivating and harvesting crops;
they took subscriptions to the liberty
loans; they canvassed the town and
surrounding country in pushing the
matter of enlarged cultivation; they
have made themselves useful in every
movement undertaken by the COM
munity to meet war conditions and to
help the boys who are in the camps or
at the front.
6. A member of the faculty is
serving as advisor to conscripted men
and will assist them with their ques-
tionnaires.

FLIERS AT THE FRONT ARE
BADLY HANDICAPPED
(By Frank A. vanderlip)

Hardly day passes but is some
fresh illustration of the inability on
the part of governments to buy with
money something essential for war
preparation. We are now discovering
that there is not linen enough in the
world to cover the aeroplanes that the
allies are producing. The English
government has just decided that at
least 10000 acres of English soil must
be devoted to the production of fax,
instead OF food. That government is
making terms with the farmers, which
viii lead to the planting Of that CROP,

THE FIXING OF sILvER's PRICE
American:

Mining American:
AS this is written, the latest news
regarding the expected federal regu-
lation of the market price for metallic
silver is from Washington to the effect
that the government authorities, after
lengthy interviews with western sill
yer producers, have almost definite
ly decided that one dollar is an equit-
able price per ounce, and the probab-
ilities are strong that announcement
will be made within the very near fu-
ture that the government will have
first call for all the metal it may re-
quire. 1t is also hinted that the gov
ernment may completely dominate the
dealings in silver and may act as the
agent between producers and con-
sumers.
One hundred cents per ounce for sill
yer at present is really not much bet
ter than sixty cents was before the
prices Of all other commodities as well
as labor started on their far-scale ca
reers. At the same time, there are
many mines that will be reopened by
their owners If it becomes known that
the price of silver is to be stable at
this reasonable figure and il not to Be

PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES EN-
Gagged IN BY THE NORMAL
). y. S. News Letter.

At the request of Governor Gunter,
the heads Of the various state schools
reported briefly as to the public service
being rendered by the institutions they
represent. 1t is surprising how much
Is really being done by even SO small
an educational center as that on Nor
NAL Heights.
The following is our presidents re-
port:
l. Our greatest public service con-
sists in the training of teachers for the
elementary schools of the state, but
our efforts are not confined to the stu
dents who come to the campus. We
give courses by correspondence and
just recently have started the "group
study" plan of extension work. Mem
bers Of the faculty participate in coun-
ty and state educational meetings,
conduct community center work, and
endeavor to interest promising young
people in the profession of teaching

fact that there are not labor and mate
rails enough to produce the things tha.
the people want and the things that
the government wants There are two
xays of helping solve the problem
One is 10 speed up production and in
dustry. The other is to cut down nee
essary consumption By the latter
method every one can put himself in
an effective way IN a front trench
Every one can make sacrifices that
ter equipment of armies. The pro-
-7sss that can be made by speeding
up production can be exceeded many
f0't By the effect which can be pro-
Guced by a whole nation making up its
mind really 10 help win the war. The
difficulties Of equipping the army
would be easily cut in half if every
md. v5dual in this country would rec
o-rize his responsibility in helping to
cup the army, his responsibility TO
e. on without demanding new things
D.. can get on without, and by so do

Every yard Of linen that is bought
from to-day on puts the buyer in di-
nc. competition with the Aeroplane
Board in equipping the fleet of aero
planes which we hope to put over the
&. rman lines. That should be very
Z AN 20 every one when it is known
tra, the need of linen for aeroplane
deduction exceeds the total stock

IL applies in almost every direction
.tra' We turn.
There can BE- only two reasons why
r a should not see in their personal
9. rariiture their individual respon-
81, I.y for equipping the army. One
j. q belief that fully equipped Amer
lean army is not going to be necessary
a. that the war will either be won by
O.. allies or it has already been won
b. the exhaustion of our enemies.
Trrr" is little in the situation upon
w..gh 20 base such 4 belief. The other
r,A-on must be that people believe
that there are labor and materials
enough 10 produce everything that
.thry want for their individual uses
ami everything that the government
must have. Absolute blindness to
wha; the total is when you add two
and TWO is the only excuse there can
b, for believing there are labor and
material enough for the individual
comforts and military needs of the
country. The man who is not pre-
pared to economize to-day either be-
heycs there is no necessity for mill
tary preparedness or he will not look
in the face the plainest facts in regard
TO Industrial capacity. The govern
ment has provided the easiest pos
sible road for the individual to turn
his personal sacrifice into patriotic
aid-save and buy War Savings
Stamps.

n. The student body pledged ST.
10000 to the Students Friendship
War Fund. The fund now stands ST.
10000 and there is one benefit pro-
gram yet to be held.
s. The Household Science depart
ment is making clothing for Belgian
children. In response to the call
through churches and clubs for cast
off clothing and material, the DEPART
ment was flooded with suits, coats,
stockings, caps, dresses, and new ma
terial. The girls have made aprons,
dresses, coats, boys suits, baby dress
es, petticoats, and undergarments. The
spirit with which the girls work is ex-
cellent, for they realize they are help
ing in the world crisis; moreover, this
work is intensely practical and Will
help to produce more efficient women.
9. The High School and Normal
Auxiliary of the Red Cross with their
president, Normal teacher, meets ev-
cry Saturday afternoon and makes
garments for soldiers or does other
work which may have been assigned
to it. During the week the girls knit
or otherwise devote part of each
day to the work.
10. The high school girls literary
societies have made the candy for the
holiday boxes which the Red Cross
prepared for the soldiers from Gunni-
son County. A large part of the box
Of canned fruits and jellies which the
d. A. +. sent to the soldiers hospital
in Las Animas, was given by the high
school girls.
II. The Model School helped the
local Red Cross chapter in filling the
soldiers Christmas packets by furn-
ishing twelve dollars worth Of chew
ing gum, sweet chocolate, and salted
nuts.
The children of the first, second, and
third grades are utilizing waste cloth
in filling ambulance or rest pillows
and are collecting pictures for scrap
books to be sent to refugee children.
These youngsters also have school
bank and are saving their pennies to
buy thrift stamps.
IL. Members of the Faculty have
invested s3s75.00 in Liberty Bonds.
l3. Colorado State Normal School
and Gunnison County High School
have thirty former students in service.
The Boys High School literary So
ciety has sent Christmas boxes and
letters to all its former members.
Two members of the faculty are in
army cantonments: DR.. Herschel Man
uel is Psychological Examiner, with
the rank of First Lieutenant; and
Miles l. Lee, Private, is engaged in
secretarial work.
While we have but small school,
we have just about as many forms of
activity as the average large college
or university has, and we are ambiti-
GUS to discharge our obligations to
the State creditably and efficiently.

box of good things to eat, and have
just received the following word OF
Mrs. Sprigg Shackleford,
Regent Gunnison Valley,
Chapter d. A. R.,
Gunnison, Colorado,
My dear Mrs. Shackleford:-
For a further word of appre-
citation | am writing you today
concerning that great quantity of
preserves and jellies that were
sent to the Fort during the holi-
days. | have distributed these
things very carefully from time to
time to those whom realized
would be benefited the most by the
home tastes in them.
From different men have
heard again and again the words
Of praise and appreciation of these
things. These fellows who are
very seriously i'll and must have
their appetites coaxed into action
by some tasty dish, these jellies
and preserves made ready re-
sponse.
Therefore, in behalf of these
men, some so sick that they could
not write, and others who have
passed on, am sending you this
word of appreciation, and hope
that you will pass it on to those
members and dear friends who SO
kindly made this donation. May
He who guides our every way and
under whose inspiration we think
of others, attend you and your
work in the full fruition of His
beneficient providence.
Very sincerely,
