The following resolution. passed by

wheat farmers.
2Whereas, the total reduction in the
yield Of cereals in Colorado in 1917
due 10 prcventablc disease and to the
use of unclcan and non-testcd seed
amounted TO approximately 1,1GO.OOO
bushels;
And whereas, the cereal smuts ore

tested free 0f charge previous to plant
ing and realizing the immediate re-
turns which will result from seed test
ing. seed cleaning end seed treatment;
Ind whereas. without any increase
in our acreage this coming year and
without any greater care in cultural
methods or in harvesting, the yield OF
the crops in Colorado can be increas-
cd ten per cent. or more, simply by
giving unusual attention to the use of
pure. cleaned, sound and vigorous seed;
Now. Therefore, BE 1t Resolved,
That we. the Colorado state council of

United States Department of Agricul-

VIII you bet one dollar tSl) on the
success of the 4th Liberty Loan?
To put it in another way. is it worth
one dollar of your money to see this
campaign success in Prowers county
and. rs result, to see the boys "over
there" backed up with guns and air
planes and ammunition so that they
can get the war over in the shortest
possible time? If so, you will want to
use the coupon printed below.
Six billion dollars is a big sum. Our
part will not be a small one. To main
tain our reputation and make 100
per cent record on this drive, practi-
cally every man, woman and child in
the county will have to cooperate. We
had as well get that idea into our
heads. There is no other method. And
the first way in which some 400 of
us must show this cooperative spirit
is by planlsing down one dollar each
for campaign expense money. The men
and women comprising the county and
local committee will have a hard
enough time putting this loan across
anyway, even if they have funds 10
work with and are given every as
sistance. Maybe they will fail! They
are but human-just folks" like the
rest of US. But given the expense
money and the hearty cooperation Of
ALL, they will make one mighty big
try at success. On the other hand if
we fail to bacl, them up and give theu
the necessary funds they will almost
surely not make a go of it.
Yes, it might reasonably be said
that the government should pay these
expenses. So they might! But th7
big men who have this matter in
charge thinl, that they should be rails
ed by local subscription-they think
that by scattering the burdea no body
will feel it much. and we will feel
A CLOSER Personal INTEREST

in their beliefs are helping, by their

have helped by their bayonets.
There is a possible excuse for the

Washington, June e4. - (special)
 Some one has played a rather cruel
 joke on Madame Maria Botchkarova,
 famous Russian woman who organized
 the battalion of death which con
 fronted the Germans on more than one
 sanguinary battlefield. She was quoted
 as having said in New York that wom-
 en will not fght-that, in other words,
 they arc towards.
 In Washington she told correspond
 ents that she had never given expres- sion to any such thought. Through an Interpreter she said:
 T have the greatest respect for women's courage. was cruelty mis- quoted in New York. 1t is proverbial how much braver women are than men-in the suffering of pain. and in
 facing the world when the world seems altogether antagonistic. Of course, I did not question the courage of woman on the battlefield. They are not as skilled and experienced as men when face to face with armed enemies. Their temerity if temerity exists, is | due solely to the fact that they are not as much aware as men of the art 1 of self defense. Women can be trained, however. to endure the blood of battle, and when they are as skilled as men. | they will show courage equal to that l of men.

My bat | talion was known as the battalion of death because of our determination to drink poison rather than fall captives | to Germany.

end it all quickly. My battalion fought bravely, and many of it's members were killed,
 "Other female organizations were brought into being. None of them, however, were actually employed in battle. This Is not due, however, to the cowardice of the women. They were simply more useful in other fields of endeavor. Thousands and thousands of men throughout Russia would not bear arms The women were organized to shame them. This they succeeded in, in certain measure in doing.
 As to her business in the United States Madame Botchkarova had noth- ing to say. It is known that she was pursued by agents of the bolsheviki until she landed on the Pacific coast. It is known, also, from a direct statement of the remarkable peasant-woman. that with her to America. KerenslSy rumor to the contrary notwithstanding, did not come.
 The story that she came to aid in the Red Cross drive might be true save for the fact that she reached Washington after the drive was com pleted. That she came to obtain pas sage to France in comparative safety to avoid her enemies at home and go to the battle front protected by Amer ican arms, is regarded as more plausi- Ible.
 The madame is not beautiful She is rather stout and athletic, and gives the Impression of having indulged in real labor. She has strong, masculine face, and an obvious determination. Her re- ception in Washington was cordial, and while she did not parade, her appear ance on the streets was always hailed with applause

SKILLED NIRSES

However long the war endures there are certain war needs that will be with us for generation, and the greatest of these is the demand for skilled women trained in nursing.
 The American Red Cross, engaged in enrolling nurses as reserves for the army and navy nurse corps, and for the civil
 ian needs of the families of our soldiers and sailors, recognizes what that need will be. Demands from foreign coun- tries for American nurses to establish training schools come steadily. The chill
 dren's bureau of the American Red Cross lin France has answered French need by offering training in infant welfare nursing to French women. American nurses will play large part in the reconstruction programme not only in the United States, but in all the allied countries.
 Virtually every school child in the Uni ted States now is member of the American Red Cross
