RALPH MOORE RETURNS
TO AMERICA

Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Moore received
word last Friday that their son, Ralph,
who has been with the American army
Of occupation in Germany, had landed
in New York. Ralph is in Co. A Of
the second division Of the 18th. He
expects to receive his discharge in q
short time and be with tho home folks
before long.
This is the first unit Of the second
division to return home.
The following is an extract from An
article telling what this division has
done,
OF the entire Ninth regiment there
were only nine officers and BIT men who
had survived the terrible fighting at
Chateau Thierry, Scissors, st. Mihiel
and the Argonne. A large percentage
Of the other 300 who went to France
with the Ninth in the fall of 1917 lie
buried on French soil and many badly
wounded had previously been sent
home.
All other units of the division are
on the seas.

COOL AIR IN CELLAR
NAY DO WORK OF ICE

Keeping food cool is an essential
part of summer housekeeping. With
&c and . well-made ice chest, Difficult
ties are few, but without them other
methods are necessary. We must have
cool place for storage if we are to
have good meals made up of foods
properly kept and appetizingly served.
When ice is not available we can use
devices which make cool air-cold wa
ter and evaporating water do the
work Of Ice.
We can usually count upon finding
cool air in the cellar, and it is valua-
BILE indeed if clean and well ventilat-
ed. But one housewife Immediately
says, ~ am too busy to use my tins
carrying the food up and down those
cellar steps-" Livery Housewife is,
but how about dumb waiter on
which the food could be sent to and
from the cellart
A shaft made Of boards and plaster
and extending from the cellar through
the roof by way of the kitchen or
pantry is another device which has
proved useful in some parts of the
country for using the cool air of the
cellar Wire or perforated shelves are
fitted into the shaft and door opens
from it. AS the air in the upper part
of the shaft grows warmer the cold
air from the cellar is drawn up and
the constant upward movement Of
colder air cools the food on the
shelves
An iceless refrigerator which de-
ponds on the rapid evaporation of wa
ter for it's cooling action is described
in Farm Home Conveniences, Farm
ers Bulletin 927, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. O. The use Of fireless cooker as
an iceless refrigerator is discussed in
1t, too.
A miniature iceless refrigerator,
useful whore only small amounts Of
food need to be cooled, is made by in
vefting an unglazed earthernware
flowerpot in a dish Of water. Food
may Be kept cool also By placing the
dish in cold water and changing tho
water as 1t becomes warm.
To keep food cool when ice 10 not
available takes ingenuity and care.

:1 ~ REVIEW

MIR. and Mrs. Richard Myers and son,
William, of Denver motored to Glen
wood, arriving here last Saturday.
They are visiting their son and broth
er, Raymond Myers. They were ac-
companied to Glenwood by Mrs. John
Anderson, who had been visiting in
Denver.
Morgan Gavin, finding himself
crowded for space in the Armory gar
age, the past week leased the VIM.
Dougan building just across the street
south Of his present quarters and will
use the additional room for car stor-
age, and already the new place, as wei!
as the old quarters, is crowded to the
limit every night.
The U. 8. surveyor generals forces
are now at Dead Horse gulch prepara-
tory to making survey on the tract
on which Hanging lake is situated.
This was found to be necessary in
order that Glenwood could complete
her negotiations now pending with the
government for the purpose of seeur-
ing this wonderful scenic attraction
for use as municipal park and play
ground.

The witness told the committee that
yesterday his firm sold meat at q los4
Of from to IN cents a pound in east

Mr.. White sad the high cost of iv.
ing was as serious to business inter.
ests as to the people. He said the cos.
to his company Of production and dis
tribution had greatly increased, labor
costs alone having advanced 1874 per
cent in four years.
Members of the committee asked
why meat prices were higher in WsSh-
ington than elsewhere. Mr.. White ~
piled that his company shipped . bat
ter grade Of meat to this city than "a
other eastern cites, because Of . d.
mand hero for higher gradsa
NJ. White charged the federal trade
commission with Withholding from the
public that its investigation had shown
the packers profits to be only SO Pei

the present agitation against the pack

sumner was to blame in part for the
present high cost of living. He said

each advancing market and held the
prices up just as long ~ his customers
Permitted him to do 70.

Everything is as dry as bone and
it will surely look good to get back
to Colorado and see some green grass
growing in the hills. Streams and
springs which have never before been
known to dry up are dry; there is no
feed for stock and they have to ship
the stock out Of the country. This
makes three years in succession that
the farmers around here have burned
out.
At present am assigned to the
Lolo forest, but will probably go to
some other forest if the fire danger gets
to be less in this part of the state.
Say, boy! Pray for rain; we need
it. Had to turn our saddle and pack

1OYEARS IN PRISON
FOR GUN TOTING"

Henry Jordan, colored. a gun
toter," has been sentenced 10 ten
years in the penitentiary by Chief
Justice Mccoy, presiding in Criminal
Court, No. ., the court imposing the
maximum penalty and declaring that
he would do everything in his power
to break up the practice of carrying
deadly weapons. Jordan was charged
with shooting at another negro re-
Gently at Fourth and K streets north
west.
Chief Justice Mccoy, in referring
to the case, said: "In some States a
life sentence is imposed for crimes of
a like character. 1t is too bad the
same law does not apply here. As it
stands, I can only give the convicted
man the maximum penalty of ten
years. I wish to state for the benefit
of all brought before me convicted
of offenses of like character that they
can expect no mercy at my hands, as
/ am determined to put an end, so far
as it lies in my power. to this per-
nicious habit Of packing guns and
committing assaults on the slightest
proyocation."
Assistant District Attorney Paul B.
Cromelin conducted the prosecution.

SEC. BAKER SAYS HE CAN'T
FIND REPORTS OF ARGONNE

Secretary Baker wrote Governor
Allen Of Kansas yesterday that he
had been unable to find in the War
Department files the official report
referred to by the governor as sup
porting charges that the Thirty-fifth
missouri and Kansas) division had
suffered Unnecessary losses in the
Argonne battle, due largely to ineffi-
cient leadership. Mr.. Baker said it
was entirely possible that the report
was in the records of the army corps
with which the Thirty-ffth was OPP
Grating and that as soon as these
were transferred to Washington fur
Their search would be made.
Mr.. Baker characterized as "a rath-
er large assertion" Governor Aliens
statement that the inefficient leader
ship OF the Thirty-fifth division
seems to belong TO that highly or
ganized ineffiCiency which character
lied every department of army activ-
ity over there"

COAL ANDOIL LANDS.

Permanent Government ownership
OF Government coal and oil lands is

from the Government by prospectors.
owe must have either leasing or
ownership" said Senator Smoot to-
day, land I have introduced a bill
which provides only for the leasing
of these lands from the Government"
Under the provisions of Senator
Shoots bill, which is now before the
Senate Committee on Public Lands,
it will be impossible for large coal
and oil interests to ever secure own
ership of any of the Government
mineral deposits.
BENEFITS for the States in which the
coal and oil lands are located are
also provided in Senator Shoots bill,
which. is far different from similar
bills which have. been before Con-
gress during the last two years. I'm
der the provisions of Senator Shoots
bill so per cent OF all money received
from sales. royalties and rentals OF
Government coal and oil lands, except
those in Alaska, shall be paid to the
several States in which the lands are
located. The bill provides that this
money shall be used by the States for
construction and maintenance. Of pub
lie roads and for the support of
schools and educational institutions.
