two men were advancing on some

gone far until we picked up some

got some more and finally we had
so many that we could not handle

Sergeant G. NJ Nelson, here to-
day with the battle tank special, is
we'll known to Chickasha and Ok
lahoma for his prowe5s on the track
team CT the Ardmore high school
several years ago. It was then that
he hung up some state interscholas'
tic records for the dashes that still
stand.
Nielsen served with the Fifth and
Sixth regiments of Marines when
they stopped the German advance on
Paris, when the French, outnumb-
cred, were retreating steadily and
when every day brought the Hun
horde nearer the French capital and
darkened the prospects of the allies
for a successful conclusion OF the
world conflict.
Tells of Experiences.
In speaking of his experiences
Nielsen said: early in June, 1913,
the Fifth and Sixth Marines were
transferred from the Verdun sector
to the fighting along the Marne
sector. We travelled three days and
nights in trucks and finally landed
at Meaux From that point we were
sent to the front line where we
met the Germans in their drive on
Paris. They were steadily advanc-
ing. After we went in we spent six
days repulsing their attack and on
the seventh day, which was June
6, we took the offensive. Our cas-
ualties were frightful. This is not
an official statement. but I believe
that fully 80 per cent of the Fifth
and Sixth Marines were casualties.
''The Germans fought hard and
we had to go up against the best
troops the Huns could trot out.

TIE GIRL SLACKER

One evening We were passing the
house Of friend, when, hearing mus
ic and singing, We decided We would
stop in and see how the folks were.
Mr.. Blank welcomed US and ushered
Us into the parlor where his daughter
was playing the piano and his son
singing. We begged them to con-
tinue and dropped into an easy chair.
The song they were singing was
Mother. They sang it very feel
ingly and then father Joined in on
the chorus. This was followed by
Mother Machree," and still another
of like sentiment. Then they stopped
for while and Mr. Blank comment
ed on songs about Mother-how true
they were. how dear, and how they
they loved to sing them. Then. as
Mrs. Blank hadn't appeared, we in
quired about her state Of health.
"Oh," said the daughter, Mothers
we'll enough. She's in the kitchen
doing the dishes. but after she has
finished and sorted the clothes, she'll
join u.s." This isn't intended to be
funny. There isn't anything humor-
Gus about washing dishes or sorting
the clothes. There isn't anything fun
ny about the daily grind of mothers
work in the home and we know a lot
of doll-faced parasites that kick the
pedals off the piano while mother
scours the pots and pans. 1t was
poor old King Lear who said, "How
sharper than serpent's tooth it is
to have a thankless child" And that
was long time ago. before the fox
trot, the picture show and the joy
ride. Today it is a rare thing to
find a good, old-fashioned daughter,
who helps mothV with the dishes and
the housework.
The world is full of idle girls to-
day, who make slaves of their moth
ers, while they loll about the house
in a dirty kimona, read novels before
the fire or doll up to entertain some
rattle Drained youth. While we are
figuring on saving the heather or
organizing a League of Nations to
educate the serfs abroad, we might
institute a little club right here in
Julesburg to teach worthless daughter
some appreciation of their mothers. 1t

see a bunch of these Indifferent hus-
sizes parading off to the picture show
at 6:3O every evening when we know

way than to impose upon her, to

RDCOlDS WILL BE ESPECIAL.
LY IMPORTANT FOR FEW YEARS
by o. S. Rayner)

Prices of farm products advanced
froa 1914 to the end of 1918 some 6S
percent, according to government fig
ures. but things the farmer has 70
buy advanced about 81 percsat during
the same period.
TIE thing 70 notice is tie slowing
up n advancement Of farm products
for 19y7-ls compared with the &C.
ceIesation in the increase Of price Of
things the farmer buys. II il II per-
cent compared with 80 percent. Thus:
What the farmer sells-l9l4-17, ~
percent; 1918, ~ per cent.
What the farmer buys-1Sl4-l7, -
per cent; 1918. 80 per cent.
II for 1919 the price Of things the
farmer has to sell drops faster than
tie price of things be has to buy, bis
chances for making . good income
are much less than in l9l4-l7. It is
. common feeling that the price Of
food must come down first.
Since the farmer is not in position
t. influence market prices, the best he
can 1p 70 meet this situation. which is
Likely to come, is TO organize his busi-
ness 80 he can produce At the lowest
possible cost.
II will not be a case Of maximum
production as was necessary during
the war, but case Of economical pro-
duction.
II science has found ways of max
ing the farm more efficient, that in
formation should be tested ty the limit
during the next few years.
As a result of study of many
farms in Colorado and in other states
4 it has been found that four factors
which affect the income most are: I.
Size Of business; 2. Acres in crops; g.
Diversity; 4 Quality, or crop and live
