Elmer, the 5-year-old son of Mr..

Boy Scouts of America
TROUP No. 1
IDAHO SPRINGS

Last Tuesday evening Lieut.. j.
Robert McClelland took charge of
the meeting. Minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were read by Scout
scribe Kimball. Reports in re-
gard to field day were given by
Scout Gleason. Scout Fuller re-
ported the amount of wood gath
cred for the peace bonfire. A re-
port was made about getting
Scout money from former treas
urer Leroy Pascoe. A first aid
kit will be bought as soon as this
money is available.
After the business meeting the
boys were entertained by Lieut..
McClelland telling of his expert
ences over there.
The boys are anticipating trip
to Denver Saturday morning with
various members of the Scout
council, who are kind enough to
take them down in their cars to
see the parade of the Denver
Scouts. This is fine spirit in
the men of Idaho Springs, and the
boys will be glad of an opportuni-
ty to express their appreciation.
They are to meet the Denver boys
at nine O'Clock Saturday.

Many Colorado Boys
Return Home Disabled

One thousand three hundred and
ninty-nine men, who in response
to their country's call, set out in
the prime of life and he alth, have
returned to the state physically
disabled. These figures showing
Colorado's manhood sacrifice have
just been compiled by the Home
Service Department of the Red
Cross.
Virtually every county in the
state has two or more Yanks who
came near paying the supreme
price. In one county there are
100 such soldiers, 1l6 in another
and 92 in another, according TO
Red Cross officials
The Red Gross now, as durin G
actual hostilities, stands ready at
all times to serve the soldier or
his family in every possible way.
1t will assist the man who, per-
haps. doesn't know that he is en-
titled to compensation during his
disability, to obtain his money.
1t will show those who permitted
their valuable government insur-
ance to lapse how to have it rein
stated. 1t will help in a thousand
other ways.

Fruit Not All Gone

Reports received by the State
Cooperative Crop Reporting Ser
wee indicate that fully % 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 l, while the loss of
peaches and smaller fruits was
equally heavy and in some cases
heavier. Montrose and Delta
counties apparently suffered more
than any other important CON-
merical fruit producing counties.
The loss in Mesa county was CON-
paratively light and the same was
true of the lower Arkansas valley.
Fremont county reports a consi-
derable 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
l percent to fully so percent, but
with an average perhaps below 20
percent. Gardens and truck crops
suffered severely in nearly all sec
tions of the state, but the extent
of the loss cannot yet be definitely
determined. Field beans were in
jured in some districts, particu-
larly in Ell Paso, Lincoln and Ell
bert countries. Comparatively
little corn was up at the time of
the frost and the damage to that
crop evidently was very light.

More Soldiers Return
From Overseas Duties

Frank Gilmore, John Bickford
and John Leonard returned from
service Wednesday evening.
John Bickford was with the 29th
division, and the other two with
the o9th. John Buych and Carl
Nelson came up at the same time.
Richard Lager was on the MORN
ing train. Gus johnson of the
o9th is still in Denver. Ralph
Brown, now of Steamboat Springs
also returned with the 89th. He
had been in service in France and
Germany over year.
John Leonard was one of the
$50 Colorado boys in the S9th and
was mustered out at Ft. Russell
Tuesday, after eleven months on
the other side, six in France, and
the other FIVE in Germany. The
boys of this division reached the
U. S. A. May "a on the Agemem-

Frank Gilmore had been in
Germany since shortly after
Thanksgiving. He says that the
weather in both that country and
France served excellently to make
the boys really appreciate Colora-
do, if they had never done SO be-
fore. The civilians in Germany
treated our soldiers with great
consideration at first, but he says
there was an appreciable change
among some of them after the
! lccnditicrs of. ths lppeace treaty has
beesl announced. With regard t,
the work of the various organiza
tions, he says that any soldier who
was at the front is ready to take

work under FIRE was admirable
The other associations did theiI
share in other ways, and were
perhaps just as effective. Frank
went into service in September
1917.
All of the men could tell har.
rowing tales of things they would
never wish to see again. They
are looking fine, and will be well
coined back to their accustomed
places in the community, which
is thankful part of the land they
fought for.
