WHEAD CROP LOOKS GOOD
THROUGHOUT NATION

The wheat crop of the country in
now figured at much larger than nor
NAL. Last year winter wheat totaled
AIS, 100000 bushels. Today the fore
cast is for 5s7 100000. Spring wheat
also looks like a crop of $4,000, 900
bushels against 233, ,0O0, 900 in 1917,
and 257,OOO,oo0 as the 1912 to 1916
average.
However, the local grain crop is
short, not so much from the weather
as from short planting. The dry farm
ers have had two hard seasons and
scarcity of help has interfered with
the usual acreage of barley and oats.

STATE FAIR AVIATION MEET
TO BE ONLY ONE IN STATE

rare treat VIII be in store for
Coloradoans when the State Fair Com
mission stages the aeroplane exhibi-
ion at the 1918 State Fair, September
23 to %, Pueblo, Colorado.
Also the people of Colorado can be
assured that the exhibition will be
the most startling and daring ever
given in the state.
There are two contributing causes.
The first is that President Wilson has
issued an order forbidding air flights
anywhere under the American flag
without permission from the War De-
partment. The second cause is that
the War Department will not issue a
permi to any aviator who is not thoro-
|ly qualified, experienced and trained.
Uncle Sam wants all the unframed as
well as the trained ayiators in the war
and only those who are exempt from
military service, or who are in the ser
vice and are granted special leave of
absence to give exhibition flights, will
be granted permits.
Manager James L. Beaman, of the
State Fair has contracted for aviation
flights during the fair by Baxter
Adams, a stunt artist, who is second
to none in the world. Adams is now
in Washington, making a personal ap-
plication before the war board for a
permit to fly at Pueblo during the fair,
September % to %. He will be grant
ed the desired permit and this will
probably be the only aviation exhibi-
ton in this state, and possibly during
the war.
It is to be war exhibition, rs Mr..
Adams will do all the stunts that avia-
tors perform in dodging anti aircraft
guns, and will also lombard Pueblo
from the clouds.

ONLY A LITT' E OVER SIX PER

Data now being compiled by the
State Board of Immigration shows
that in 1917 the total area cultivated
in Colorado was 4,073 ,250 acres, ex-
elusive of that devoted to orchards
and small fruits: This is but 6.41 per
cent of the area of the state. Boulder
county ranks first in the percentage Of
land cultivated, with 25.15 per cent.
The only county having more than 20
per cent of its acreage in cultivation
last year was Logan county, and but
15 counties had more than 10 per cent

Justice K. b. Lapham's court was
occupied Monday with the cases Of
James III. Mead and William r. Ward
VS.. William and Carrie Hatton-
Mead, who lives near Lowell sued for
the value CT lumber wagon which
he ella med the Hatton's had in their
possession and would not deliver up
on demand. After hearing the testi-
mony the court gave a judgment in
favcr of hte plaintiff for $50 and ocsts.
In the Ward case the latter sued for
labor performed on a wood cutting
contract in which he and the Hattons
were interested last winter, while
cutting and buzzing wood for Wilbur
Wilson. He claimed there was bal
ance due him of S53.75. In the pro-
gress of the case it was shown that
the Hattons had endorsed bank note
for $42. 90 with Ward as first payment
on a land contract which had not been
paid by Ward. The court reserved
judgment and decision of the, case
four days.

". S. S. DRIVE
QUOTA SLOWLY
ON THE RAISE
HOUSE TO HOUSE CANVASS BE-
ING MADE AND EVERYONE
WILL BE CALLED UPON.

The War Savings Stamp Drive quo
ia of more than $4,000 in pledges is
slowly nearing its quota, the last re-
port being that the sum had reached
nearly $4,000. The entire amount
to be raised in this country is some
thing like two billions and this amount
must be raised by December /, wherf
the drive ends.
The idea of selling thrift stamps,
we understand, was taken from France
where for many years past, even in
peace times, the people were given an
opportunity of investing very small
amounts, even as low as one franc, in
French government stamps bearing a.
very low rate of interest.
This plan was found to work won-
derfully well, and the French people
became known as the greatest money
savers" in the world. Instead of
selling so many bonds the French gov
ernment sold thrift stamps. 1t tend
ed to bring the government closer to
the people All could. and did, buy
thrift stamps, whereas they could not
have bought bonds.
The thrift stamp campaign will close
Dec. l, by which time the people will
doubtless have taken the entire ST.
600 100000 worth of stamps offered.
If the war continues as now looks
probable, doubtless another campaign
will follow.
Thrift Stamps and War Certificates
make an ideal way for people of small
means to save money and get good
rate of interest VIII ie they are saving.
The government asks all buyers to
hold their certificates for the full five
years, or until January l., 1923, when
they will net the holder over a per
cent interest, computed quarterly. In
case anyone becomes hard pressed and
has to have the money, these War Ger
tifcates can be taken to the postoffice
and you will get your money back with
interest at the rate Of about per cent
per annum.
Hundreds of little children in Beld-
ing are saving their pennies, nickels
and dimes to buy Thrift Stamps. If
we could know the share the children
had taken in these stamps, the amount
would be surprisingly large. But
the best lesson of all of them, as well
as for the older people. is the lesson
of thrift" and patriotic sacrifice fer
the benefit of the country.
A house to house canvass is being
made in the three wards of the city
and the quota is hoped to be raised.
Canvassers are meeting in many cases
with the cooperation Of the people
whom they solicit for purchases, while
in ether instances, people who are
more than abundantly able to take
several hundred or a thousand dollars
worth of the bonds have not done so
and cases of this kind must be report
ed to headquarters and will be taken
care of later

DON'T SWAP HOSSES
lWHILE CROSSING RIVER

County Clerk George w. Moulton
was in the city yesterday on business
and also visiting his relatives and
friends here, for the day. 1t seems
that George is going to have some OPP
position for the nomination for the
office of county clerk this year from
the ranks of his own party, which
fact looks out Of place when it is
almost a certainty that the democrats
of the county will place no one
against Mr.. Moulton in case he is re-
nominated for the office. Looking
into the matter somewhat and talking
with both democrats and republicans
who are of the opinion that this year
is no year to change the affairs of
the county clerks office from the
hands of an efficient veteran over to
the hands of some inexperienced nov
ice. Practically all with whom the
writer talked were in favor cf retain
ing Mr.. Moulon in the office and we
talked with democrats who would be
opposed to any republican under ord
mary circumstances. We talked with
democrats and republicans who would
be opposed on the "third term" idea.
But the uppermost thought in the
minds Of the men with whom we
talked was that the office of county
clerk, having as much of the welfare
of the nation in hand as it has at
present through the part it takes as
a part of the war board, should not be
changed from old, knowing, tried and
experienced hands and mind to a new
conner, whose inefficient methods of
conducting the business of the county
clerks office might change it from
order to chaos. In other words,
Don't swamp horses while crossing
the river" but wait with changing
county clerks until after the war. Mr..
Moulton is needed right where he is.
