New York.-The expedition which
Capt. Robert A. Bartlett will lead next
June to make an aerial survey OF the
North pole will be known as the Roose-
welt memorial expedition, according to
an announcement by the Aero Club of
America, which is financing the trip
ANY land discovered will be named
Roosevelt land"
Officials of the club explained 1t was
fitting that this tribute should be paid
the former president, as 1t was he who
gave Rear Admiral Peary leave of alb
sence to head the expedition which dis
covered the pole. and Captain Bartlett
commanded Peary's ship, the Roose-
welt.
Club officials also emphasized the
fact that Colonel Roosevelt had-been
one Of the first patrons Of aero

The purpose of the company Is to ex-

sites, which are to be approximately
300 miles apart. The route is to be
from Sydney or Melbourne direct to
Port Darwin In the northern territory
Of Australia, from which point there
will be 300-mile sea trip across to
the Island Of Timor, in the Dutch East

through Java and Sumatra to Slnga-

Karachi thence to Bagdad and Port

WHAT ABOUT
MEMORIAL DAY

Did you know that Memorial Day
was almost at hand? Two week.
from tomorrow nation will pause
in its work to pay tribute to its sol
dier dead.
Last year We said never again
could we fail to remember that
day sacred to the memory of those
who had risked their all for our free
dom. They were busy times then,
but We stopped for the patriotic ser
vice; and the inspiration of that SER
vice proved that it was not time lost
but strength and energy gained for
the great service needed by nation
in its splendid work.
We are not so pressed for time to-
day, but there is danger that We will
let up; that We will forget-forget
before the grass has grown on the
new made graves in France where
sleep our heroic dead; before the
tears of the bereaved mothers have
been dried; before the living have
returned to their native land.
We no longer fear the war, the
guns are silent and camp fires burn
low, the sentinel fears no linking
foe, and we rest secure; but we hon
or ourselves when we honor the pa
triotic soldiers both living and dead
We must not forget, We must net

LEARNING VALUE OF BABIES
New Viewpoint Taken by World Marks
Beginning OF Ere Of the Highest
Importance.

That the babies of a nation are its
riches and that they must be afforded,
that they are always worth what they
cost, ls the now viewpoint that we are
learning now. writes Kathleen Norris
In Pictorial Review
Europe knows, what we OF America
are learning, that greater than our
mines and forests and cities, In actual
commercial value, are our babies, and
more important than our financlers
and statesmen are tine women who
bear them.
Suppose that we could save one-half
Of the 100000 babies that we lose every
year. And suppose that another 15e,-
600 who do not die, hut who live
sickly and defective, were also raised
to strong and healthy and normal man
and womanhood? Do you realize that
this country would he the richer, In
ten years, by 100000 natiye-born eitl-
zens?
Therefore the government is begin
ming to take fatherly interest In It's
babies, and more and more In Europe,
and wherever mothers pensions are
paid, the government Is beginning to
feel itself responsible for them. There
Is less hustllng Of children into lnstl-
tutl0ns, there is more and more inell-
nation to leave them with their
mother and make life easier for their
mother. One likes to think Of the
time coming when every child will
mean more ease, and not less, more
honor, and not less, to the woman who
bears It. But noW we are only begin
ming.

WEATHER AND

Weather conditions have been OF
the kind to cheer the past week Nc
heavy rains have fallen, but there
have been several showers, and the
soil Is in fine condition so that all

way and crops are looking we'll
Conditions throughout the state
are reported to be as follows:
II conditions remain as favorable
until wheat harvest as they have
been up to the present time Colorado
viii produce approximately 15.ila,-
600 bushels of winter wheat in 1919.
or nearly 100000 bushels more
than the combined production Of
winter and spring wheat in 1917,
which was the largest wheat crop
ever produced in the state.
This yield OF winter wheat is in
dicated by reports received b. tho
Colorado Cooperative Crop Report
ing Service. and shows possibla pro
duction nearly 100000 bushels in
excess of what was indicated In the
reports published month ago. The
reports of the cooperative service ia-
dicate that the condition OF the win
ter wheat crop is 102 per cent Of nor
NAL, as compared with 100 per cent
reported last month, 30 percent for
May ! last year, and 92 percent Tor
the preceding seven-year averaga.
Apparently there will be but per
cent Of the crop abandoned this year,
as compared with percent last year
and s.S percent the average for the
preceding seven years.
The condition OF winter wheat In
Colorado has perhaps never been re-
ported so high at this season Of the
year as it is now Weather csali !
tions have been especially favorable
in all sections OF the state and dam
age has been but slight. The acre
age planted last fall was the largest

Colorado shows an increase OF |
about percent in acreage of winter
rye this year as compared with last |
year, or about 1870, 900 acres. against
$4,000 acres for 1915 The condi-
tion of the crop is 10l percent of
normal, compared with 96 percent
last,year and 81 percent, the aver
age for the past ten years. These !,
figures indicate possible produc-
tion of l,576,000 bushels, the larg-
est on record This crop, according
to reports received by the state Coop

been benefited in about the same way
as winter wheat from the favorbale
weather conditions that have pre-
vailed up to this time.
Reports, as result OF special in.
quiry made by the Colorado Coopera-

POETRY


The Jester.
Come back, you old court Jester.
With cap and bells of yore.
Those rabid kings were sorry things
For which to go to war!
But since we have uncrowned them
And sent them on their way,
Spring from the gloom that shrcudS
your tomb,
And teach US how to play.
Set free your Walls of laughter
Have done with sobs and signs:
The melancholy days have passed
The sun is in the skies.
Take YOU the crown the king dropped
down,
And fit it to your brow
A reign of mirth will suit the earth
Right merrily just nowt
Come back. you old court Jester.
With all your merry mien.
Revive Pierrot, and gaily show
I Fair Folly for your queen.
Come, trip the light fantastic
AS blithely S of yore.
The king is dead! So reign instead,
And nout the gods of war!
