/ will write you all at once this
evening, for by the time you get this
all OF you will be together.
Well. came back from my trip last
Sunday. l was gone fourteen days

fixed up again. ! am doing the same
work as did before. only we are in
different part of camp.
Now to tell you something of my
trip If | could talk to you, ! could
tell you lots better juet what | saw.
but I'll do my best writing. | SEN;
you a good many post cards and pic
lures so that you could see where !
had been You save those postcards
until I get home and I can tell you
more about them.
My leave was to Biarritz. a city on
the coast OF France. II is very famous
the world over as summer resort.
They have two beautiful bathing
beaches and believe me I sure made
use of them. spent six days in that
city. They had a dandy Y. NJ. c. A.
where they danced morning afternoon
and night. You know how / love to
dance The Y NJ. c. A also furnished
auto trips. ! took trip to the Span
ish border and was across into Spain.
I had sandwich made of real Span.
ism bread. which is more like Amer
lean bread than any have struck
over here. While on that trip went
through the Grotto Cave. Half of 1t
lies in France and the other half In
Spain. This cave Is in the midst OF
the Pyrennes mountains.
then went oack to Biarritz; and
the next day went to Lourdes. which
is religious city. Everything is
Catholic. I was through the famous
cathedral 1t is to that city that thous
ands of people come every year on
pilgrimages. There is cave there
called the Grotto where the sick ard
wounded receive the divine, blessing
and are healed. You can see lots OF
canes on the walls OF the cave where

OF rich people in Biarritz and all the

MRS. PINcHoT CHOOSES
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Get the ballot. then use it." is
Mrs Clifford Pinchot's motto. and that
is why she has been such a pillar OF
strength in the suffrage ranks of
Pennsylvania women. Her active work
for suffrage was concluded when the
Pennsylvania legislature ratified the
Federal Suffrage Amendment, and,
having gotten the ballot, Mrs. Pin
chot Immediately made her decision
as to party.
Il must use my vote, and use 1t
intelligently," said Mrs. Pinchot. "And
in order to have it accomplish any
thing must align myself with party
that will most nearly express my prin-
cipals and ideals. am Republican

AS the government created a great
information service to arouse the peo-
pie to the need of fighting the war
with all their might. so an information
service is needed all the time to help
the community to fight its battles and
solve its problems.
There is the problem of economic
competition. There is the problem of
business success against the difficult
ties of the commercial field There
is the problem of human inertia and
laziness and vice. There is the prob
lem Of ignorance, and how it is to be
combatted by education. And so on
with many others. -
Now to fight the battles OF the COM
munities against the obstacles and
enemies Of successful life and pro-
gress, requires the education of pop.
ular sentiment. The community needs
to unity and arouse sentiment for civic
progress, just as the government need
ed to unity and arouse war sentiment.
And the home newspaper is the In
formation Service that performs this
function.

CONDITIONS CAUSING POISON
ING BY WHORlED MIukWEED

Anyone who has had any experience
with the whorled milkweed knows
that stock of any kind do not like the
plant and will eat practically anything
else in preference to it. The writer's
attention has been called many times
to pastures where the milkweed oc-
ours, and in which dairy cattle or
few head of sheep or horses are graz
ed constantly with no i'll effects. Ex-
animation invariably has shown that
the milkweed is either not touched at
all, or has been eaten in such small
quantities as to cause no trouble
Along most any roadway and where
milkweed grows and where dairy stock
which are fed night and morning, or
a few head of loose stuff Craze. it will
to the ground, but the milkweed grows
up and goes to seed.
1t follows from this that stock do
not eat milkweed unless they become
hungry. We may look for heavy loss
es then. where animals get to milk
weed with an empty stomach
There are four general conditions
that have been responsible for most
of the losses known to be caused by
milkweed.
First On main stock driveways. 1t
is well known that it is impossible to
keep stock well filled on the driveway
If they happen to get to a place on
the drive where milkweed grows, at
the same time that they have become
empty and tired, large number will
be poisoned. Many of our driveways
go thru areas which have been grazed
by few head of stock during the sum-
mer. 1t was noted that such stock
that when hungry range stock come
along, they have no choice. Practic-
ally all the losses on the driveway be-
tween Paonia and Hotchkiss, occur
in this way. Most OF the heavy losses
in the Cortez section were under these
conditions. Sometimes the first herd
over a driveway may not lose, because
they eat out the other plants, while
the second and third herds will lose
heavily because they have nothing
but 'milkweed left.
Second. In overgrazed pastures
Cattle may run in a pasture where
milkweed is fairly abundant, and never
eat enough at one time to poison II
there is considerable other feed pres
ent, but overgraze such a pasture, and
losses are likely to occur On Rogers
Mesa, near Hotchkiss, Bennett Bros
turned bunch of sheep into an or.
chard overnight; few head of sheep
probably would not have been poison
ed, although there was a great deal
Of milkweed in the orchard. The num-
ber turned in in reality overgrazed
the orchard and $50 we're lost
Third, In winter when all other
forage may be covered and the milk
weed sticks above the snow, (other
forage has been eaten off during the
summer-the milkweed not being eat
en- goes to seed and sticks above the
snow) some very heavy losses have
occurred under these conditions.
Milkweed in alfalfa has been the
final result in sections where the plant
is not fought, and this constitutes
the most dangerous condition under
which it occurs
