Rarest Trait of All

To love mankind regardless of whether mankind de-
serves loving or not the trait of ALL and the
most appealing.
You cannot simulate this sort of mpersona affection;
and the lack of wrecked the plans of great men
and institutions that desired be of service racked

in generation may manage to do that when he does the

AS we see it, that is mostly what Christmas is about
That the fundamental thought of Christ the greatest
lover of the ages that the foundation of the golden rule
and all that il implies The doing of good because it is
duty sacred obligation but because of love for your
fellows that mpes TO do everything you may to tighten
their load.
Suppose of the world felt towards each other as the
mother feels her children would that not bring heaven
to earth in a day?
Certainly would.
"But there are some men nobody love-" you say?
Was there ever a bad boy who not loved by the
mother who bore him?
There's your and the approach to this
principle of and life the will we approach the

deal justly with brother and refrain from hating him.

Horrible, unspeakable and utterly degrad-
ing as war Is, you cannot realize its ter
rifle depths of infamy until you see what
II does TO the Children.
Nothing / ever read-of the agonies Of
the war. or starving prisoners, mutilated
captives, bombarded villages, fields strewn
and rivers choked with dead bodies-noth-
ing touched me with so peculiar and quick
repulsion as the account of those little chill
dren shipped back by the Germans from
the enemy territory they had occupied, into
Switzerland arriving there with their gaunt
faces, starving eyes and swollen bellies,
their bodies starved and diseased, their
minds blank with terror.
And those other children, clinging to
their mothers skirts. as the miserable pro-
cession of refugees fled from some sacked
town in Poland or North France.
If an oath and a clenchod fist were ever
pardonabe in man, surely it is when such
news comes
today: not thousands, but hundreds of thou
sands of them.

Gladys Vanderbilt, of New York, who re-

LATE FROST DOES MUCH
DAMAGE TO FRUIT CROP
Low Temperature of May 31st and
June 1st Quite General
in the State.

Reports received by the state co
operative crop reporting service in.
dicate that fully 25 per cent of the
apple crop in Colorado was lost as
a result of the frost that visited
practically all sections of the state
on the nights of May 81 and June !
while the loss of peaches and small
er fruits are equally heavy and in
some cases heavier.
MontrOse and Delta counties ap
parently suffered more than any
other important commercial pro
ducing counties. The loss in Mesa
county was comparatively light and
the same was true of the lower Ar
kansas valley. Fremont county re
ports considerable loss, but not
so heavy as in some sections on the
western slope.
In northern Colorado the loss
ranges all the way from less than
one per cent to fully SO per cent
Gardens and truck crops suffered
severely in nearly all sections of the
state, but the extent of the loss can
not be definitely determined. Field
beans were injured in some dis
coin and Elbert counties
Comparatively little corn was up
at the time of the frost and the
damage to that crop evidently was
very light.
Rains during the last three days
of May and the early part of June
broke an extended drought in
most sections of Colorado and great
ly improved the condition of all
farm crops.
In some sections, particularly on
the western slope and in the south
eastern and east-central parts of
the state the rainfall was about suf-
ficient to meet the needs of the far
mers.
In the northeastern part of the
state, and particularly in parts of
Weld, Larimer and Boulder cOun-
ties, the rainfall was light and
crops are still suffering for want of
moisture.
The condition of winter wheat at
this time is approximately Is per
cent below the condition at the be
ginning of May. The recent rains
were generally sufficient to bring
up corn, beans and other crops that
had not yet been germinated.
In q general way it may be said
that the condition of all farm crops
is greatly improved as compared
with the condition reported at this
time last week.
