A SCHOOL FOR
COMMUNITY LEADERS

The spirit OF community cooper
alton has been increasing rapidly in
the United States during the past
few years, and this Is especially true
since the beginning Of the war. More
and more are the people coming to a
realization that bigger things can be
accomplished by working together
The development OF this spirit has
created a demand for new type of
leadership, sometimes paid. often
voluntary. To provide a means of
training for this kind Of leadership,
school for community leaders will
be held at the Agricultural College
at Fort Collins June 10 to Is. Fol-
lowing is a brief description of the
work:
Demonstrations and lectures In cul-
tivation, irrigation weed pests, in
sect pests, harvesting, home storing.
home drying and marketing.
Demonstrations in the canning of
fruits and vegetables by the cold pack
method. Practical laboratory work
in canning in which the students will
actually perform the operations un-
der the direction of government
demonstration.
A study of the purposes of the
work, methods Of organization. re-
lationship of the rural school to boys
and girls clubs. the Importance OF
combining play with work.
Lectures upon requirements for
leadership, function, fields of oppor-
tunity, methods Of organization.
of stimulating a spirit of
cooperation.
The only expense will be a regis
tration fee of $l.00.

.RAYMER RESTAURANT
BANQUETS DEPARTING
RAYMER SOLDIER BOYS

1t was fine and splendid thing the
Raymer Restaurant did last Friday
evening when they invited in some
thirty-five friends of the soldier boys
who were to leave the next day for
Eaton to take their place among the
soldiers preparing for service in
France.
The dinner was served soon after
eight o'clock In the evening and it
was good enough for king and serv-
ed in most approved manner.
1t gave the boys a chance to meet
their friends and to know that back
home there will be those to keep the
home fires burning" until they come
marching back having done their
full part in the greatest task that
has ever been thrust upon the world
In its efforts to make the world a
good place inwhich man may live
and work out a worthy destiny.

DISPOSE or WHEAT
WITHOUT TROUBLE

The call for the surplus wheat to
be sold by May lst was generally re-
sponded to patriotically and fully.
However II Is the duty Of every
man to respond. and further 1t is
the duty of every man to report any
one who does not.
Some have asked about winter
wheat for seed, and We took the mat
ter up with the food administration.
The answer was that the question
would be left to our discretion. We
do not like to assume such respon-
sibility; but since 1t is thrust upon,
here is what we think Is right:
Winter wheat will be threshed in
time to supply the need for seed.
Every bushel In the hands of the
farmer should be brought to mar
ket. II you do not bring 1t in you
are liable to severe penalties.
II there are cases where exceptions
should be granted, it should only be
after special showing.
II you have land that you are TAX
ing especial pains to summer till
and will wish to SOW as early as July
an exception might be made, but no
one should rely upon their own opin-
ion Of their right to hold seed for
such purpose.
II you think that you have case
that would justify keeping seed, come
In and we will prepare an affidavit,
showing the amount OF wheat you
have, the number Of acres you are
summer tilling, the time that you
expect to SOW 1t, and the amount
you wish to retain for seed That
affidavit must be sworn to. We will
take the affidavit in duplicate, and
forward one copy to headquarters
for their opinion.
some one reported parties about
re as boarding wheat. We have
Ward that threats have been made
about anytsly reporting, and that
they had q beating coming.
The editor of this paper wants to
say that he has not reported anyone
except as they have reported to him,
but II YOU need reporting. you may
Just as well assume that we did It
for we will report you II we think
you need 1t. Threats against at
tempts to see thatthe law is obeyed
is mighty poor policy, and any man
who makes them Is counting trouble
and the man who makes such threats
good will surely find all the trouble
he is looking for.
The way to meet this matter, II
do your own reporting and obey
the law. II you do not like our pos.
ision, appeal to some one higher up
and we will assist you In getting q
hearing. We did not seek the jol
we have, and would like to turn II
over to some one else; but since w
have the job, we will blunder on a,
1t until relief comes.

The trip across was very good and
we enjoyed 1t although the boat was

We enjoyed the trip but say we
were sure glad to sight land.
The weather is rather cool here.

good althounsh would rather live

to see U. s. men and always have a
smile for you.
have tried to talk to a few of the
people. and got along fairly good as
lots OF the French people seem to
have small understanding Of Eng
lish.
One thing that is very noticeable
is the railroads which l think is far
from the railroads OF the states. In
fact they look like toys In compar-
ison to some OF the roads of the

DECORATION DAY
PROGRAM TODAY

Raymer will make her first at
tempt to celebrate Decoration day
today.
The arrangements have been made
in hurry as most things have to be
made at this time.
The main part Of the program will
be an address by Hon. Halstead l..
Ritter of Denver. Mr.. Ritter will
come to Briggsdale and will arrive
here in the afternoon, so the program
will take place at 200 p. m.
Just how much of an additional
program we will be able to have is
hard TO tell. but every effort is being
made to secure drum corps with
martial music, and to have a par
ade.
But few of the old soldiers of the
Civil War are with us, but few
are still here. They are.

WHY BUY IN ASIA?

It is announced that the soy bean is three times richer in protein than wheat bread or eggs, five times as rich as corn meal flour, has ten times as much fat as our commonly used cer- calls, contains twice as much protein as porterhouse steak, and is easily di- gested. Just now we are importing soy beans from Japan and China We shah probably continue to import our principal supply from that source after the war is over, because of the lower cost of production in Asia, unless there shall be established a protective tar if which will encourage the American farmer to produce this valuable agri. cultural product.

THE MANY IN ONE.

"The President" said Secretary Lane, "is our war council" The sec retary's truthfulness exposed the weakness of the system under which the United States is now waging war. The President is not soldier, he is not a business man, he never was a legislator Yet he "is our war council" The council of National defense, even if he were inclined to listen to that body, is no better off. Its member ship comprises two lawyers, a college president, a retired business man, an editor, and a labor union official. And so "the President is our war council. " This narrows the responsibility, even as it widens the danger.

cussion of cause and effect which will come up for congressional considera- tion. The fuel administrator has had hard path to tread Many of his greatest difficulties have been thrust upon him through no fault of him own. But some of his chief troubles have grown out of the bad judgment he showed in the organization of his own department. The complaint of one disgruntled mine operator, that there are "too many college professors, and not enough roughneck coal men in the fuel administration" is based on foundation of fact. If Dr. Garfield had surrounded himself with fuel experts at the beginning of his administration, trusted them to fill minor positions with employees drawn from the coal and other fuel industries, and freed himself entirely from unnecessary petty problems, he would have avoided endorsements that have curtailed his ability in most exacting position The war work of the government has moved more swiftly and efficiently in bureaus where men brought technical knowledge and long experience to the duties they were called on to perforp7 -Leslie's.

A FRACTIONAL FACTOR.

It seems to be freely conceded that the Presidents influence was a large factor in producing the favorable vote for the suffrage amendment in the house of representatives His influ- ence, of course, was with members of his own party The vote showed 1O4 Democrats voting for suffrage and 102 Democrats voting against it. The majority for suffrage in the whole house was exactly two-thirds of one vote. We do not know whether these figures are to be taken as a measure
 of the Presidents influence or not. They are fairly suggestive, at any rate.

LOYALTY EVER.

Every citizen should be deeply i'm pressed with his obligation to do his best, whatever his walk of life and whatever his occupation, assuming it to be legitimate. Loyalty is just as important in the furrow or the forest as it is in the trenches.
 In a recent address to the officers and employees of the railroads, Secre. tary McAdoo said that "the govern. ment having assumed possession and control of the railroads for the period of the present war with Germany, it becomes more than ever obligatory upon every officer and employee to apply himself with unreserved energy and unquestioned loyalty to his work. "
 This is an unfortunate expression, and, if the idea should be generally accepted, it would tend to make men in private employment less apprecia- tive of the importance of faithful work. Railroad employees are under no greater obligation to apply themselves now than they were before the govern ment assumed control. The emergency is no greater now than it was before It was and still is every railroad en- ployees duty to devote the best there IS in him to the task of moving traf- fife as promptly and as speedily as possible. It is the duty of every man, in either private or public employment to make every moment of time and every pound of effort produce the best results for the strength of the nation at time when all that nations strength is needed for self preserva- tion

CONSERVATION OF FOOD

Alaska is used to high living. Alas. kans demand and pay for and get the best. Moreover, Alaska is more iso lated from actual contact with war con- ditions, possibly, than is true of any other American possession. Neverthe less, Alaska has given literally of it's manhood, of it's funds and in it's CO., operation for carrying on the war. This perhaps is more noticeable in food con- servation, from voluntary action, than for anything else, With scarcely an exception wheatless and meatless and pieless days are being observed in the homes and boarding houses and res taurants and hotels.
 And it may be said to the credit of the business men and other AIaskans, that they are cooperating with the food administrator. The first case of selfish profiteering remains to be re- ported. There has been, so far as known, no hoarding of foodstuffs or attempts to secure a corner on those foods which people have been asked to conserve Alaskans are not that kind. They take a pride in doing their bit to help Uncle Sam win the war.-Ju- neau Empire.

ALAskA's GOLDEN CATCH

Like the soldier who wrote lacon. ically from the front that he had not much to complain of except the war, the salmon canners of Alaska and British Columbia ought to find noth- ing to complain of in last years catch except the canning. The catch has
 been so huge that the wonder is that the packers find the cans and the hands" in sufficient number for the packing. The value of the canned

THE REAL FUEL 5LUNDERs.


 Dr. Garfield, head of the fuel admin istration. has been criticized harshly
 for various features of the coal short age which should not be charged
 against him. His defenders in Wash ington go to the other extreme and shift all responsibility to the secretary of war, who upset the price arrange ments negotiated by Secretary Lane with the mine operators. Both groups of critics concentrate on merely few features of the fuel administration that should be considered in the dis

In British Columbia more than 5O0,OOO cases of salmon were dispatched to Europe, as against something over 100000 before the war. It looks al most as if the salmon were taking a patriotic interest in the war-Chris- tian Science Monitor.

Gov. Hunt has given out the
word that he will call a special
session of the legislature soon
for the purpose of passing law
that will give the soldiers a
chance to vote this fall. He also
will include in his call the ratii-
cation Of the national prohibition
amendment, and the national
suffrage amendment if Congress
passes the bill in time. Perhaps
other matters will be also taken
up now that the call is contem-

There is a regularly scheduled
total eclipse of the sun for June
9Th, this year. We mention the
fact at this time, because the
legislature may be in session
then, and some people may at
tribute the phenomena to the or

Joshua of old commanded the

When Governor Hunt gets the
members of the legislature to-
gether in special session, that
very minute the political pot will
begin boiling for the aspirants
for state Offices. If every mem
Der is not a candidate in his own
right, he will have some particu-
lar friend in the race, and every
move and vote taken will have
some political significance. And
what a merry old time the Gov
ernor will have trying to placate
all the warning factions, and con-
vincing every budding statesman
that he is the ideal candidate for
the place.

to the effect that Os. is practic-

A new aspirant for the demo-

has appeared on the horizon in
the person of HI. S. McCluskey,
who is the international organ
izer of the Mine, Mill & Smelter
Workers Union. He is one of
Gov. Hunts recent appointees
as regent of the state university.
The Labor Journal, in announc-
ing the candidacy of Mr.. Nc
Cluskey, notified democracy that
it cannot win in Arizona without
the labor vote.
