Discovery Made Which Will
Take From Pitkin County
Many Acres of Reserve
GARFIELD ALSO LOSES

Grand Junction, June 27.-Pitkin
county-strong, prosperous and healthy
Is about to lose the revenue which it
has enjoyed for the last several years
from 21,949 acres of the Battlement
national forest. Pitkin will lose this
revenue for the very sple reason that
not single acre of the Battlement
forest is in that county.
zBy the same token, which is no
other than thorough investigation of
records by D. G.. Montgomery, chief
clerk of the Battlement national forest
with headquarters at the federal build
ing, Mesa county will receive the rev.
enue for an additional 81 625 acres. Rv
the former rating Mesa county was
credited with 27O,521, whereupon she
properly should have been credited with
352,O17 acres.
There are only four counties entitled
to the 35 per cent revenue from the
Battlement forest. These counties and
their acreage, according to the D. C.
Montgomery figures, are Delta, 169,1s2;
Garfield, 3s,137; Gunnison, 87,6O1; and
Mesa, 352,O17.
The old figures which are erroneous
but still in operation and will be until
the Montgomery report receives atten-
tion at Denver apportioned the forest
as follows: Delta, 214,265; Garfield,
53,232; Gunnison, 91,Ose; Mesa, 27O,-
521; and Pitkin, 1,494.
Suggestive of the technical tedium
through which Mr.. Montgomery was
forced to plow in order to locate and
correct the error it may be stated that
he arrived at total by using plani-
meter, set to read $3.50 acres per square
inch. Three readings were taken for
each area and the average of the three
used. The largest single reading made
slightly over nine square inches.
1t is not known and probably never
will be just how Pitkin was included
in the pro-rata. Also, it is not known
whether any effort will be made to re-
fund the amounts paid to that county.
Under the federal statute 35 per cent
of the total receipts from national for
ests are turned back to counties in
which the forests are located.

STRAWBERRY DAY NOT
WHAT WAS EXPECTED

The celebration of Strawberry Day
at Glenwood Springs Saturday did not
come up to the oldtime spirit and vim.
While large crowd was present
there was practically nothing to see
but ball game and a regiment of
engineers on the way to the coast that
stopped off to eat berries and cream,
all the other attractions seeming to be
missing.
The Glenwood people should not be
blamed, however, as circumstances over
which they had no control prevented
their carrying ont the program of fes-
tivities as had been arranged.-Aspen

Monday j. w. Curtis was placed on
trial for interfering with the dam and
spillway at the head of the Needham

People Came in All Directions
to Participate in Our Big
Annual Celebration
AUTOS MUCH IN use

Glenwood's annual Strawberry fes-
tival was celebrated last Saturday with
something like the customary good at
tendance and good time was had by
all. At ten O'Clock in the morning one
might have pronounced the attendance
a frost as far as numbers were con
cerned, when compared with other
years, but by 1:30 both sides of Grand
avenue were lined with autos for more
than two blocks, and the streets were
filled with people, thus emphasizing
the value of the automobile to the sue
cess Of such a celebration. That is to
say, the railroads did not bring in the
customary number of people, but this
loss was compensated by the greater
numbers who visited us by auto, and
who were thus able to return to their
homes whenever fancy dictated.
The D. & R. G. band of Grand June
tion furnished music for the occasion
and this aggregation of artistic wind
tanners was kept busy throughout the
day, and home people as well an Wis
itors greatly enjoyed their music.
The parade which was to have been
a part of the program, was called off
because members of the city council,
the chamber of commerce and returned
soldiers, who were to have made up
the parade, preferred to mix up with
the crowd and thus enjoy themselves,
rather than to be "the observed of
all observers in street parade.
The baseball game played between
alenwood and Palisade was an inter.
sting event from the standpoint of
the sportsman, and resulted in vic
tory for the peach pickersI
Al usual, the most anticipated fea-
ture of the days program, in addition
to being to many the most enjoyable,
was the big strawberry feed, where
nearly three thousand of our visitors
were regaled with Strawberries and
cream and cake.
In the morning Mayor Darrow a1.
dressed the visitors, and extended to
them the welcome of the city. In the
afternoon a train load of returning sol,
dfers stopped here on their way to
their homes on the Pacific coast, and
these were taken in charge by the local
Red Cross chapter and escorted to the
berry tables where they were given a
treat which they heartily appreciated
After they were seated Mayor Darrow
extended welcome to them and turned
over the keys of the city to their com
manding officer, and James W. Kelly
of Denver delivered short but patri
otic address in eulogy of the work thu
boys had done and which they stood
ready to do for their country. A,
the close of Kelly's address one of th'
lieutenants of the division was choser
to reply, and this he did in most inter
esting fashion. He expressed his ap
probation and that of his comrades il
khaki for the most hospitable treat
ment they had received in Glenwoo'
which they all voted most charmin;
spot. The manner in which these boy
were treated was a most popular fea
ture of the days activities, appreciat
ed, not only by the soldiers themselve
but also by the civilian visitors VIII,

How much of other peoples time

are usually monologue spoken by
himself; the clubwoman who defies
all the parliamentarism in the world

nearly every one is guilty of them.
This is no argument for regard

which can not be done in haste. De-
liberation and sound reflection are
necessary in many of the biggest
tasks which men and women have
to do. But do try to be quick, live
and decisive In the matters as to
which such qualities may reasonably
be expected. You are not slow be-

II buried as American soldiers
were inferred in Flanders, the peo-
pie killed in accidents in the United
States during the 10 months Of war
would, laid side by side, make a
grave 48 miles long.
In the period, the number of serv-
ice men who fell in battle or died of
wounds was 5s,167. In America dur
ing the same 10 months, the number
killed by accidents in the home, in the
street and in the industries was
126.654. more than double the number
killed in the war. The killings by
accident averaged 240 per day.
1t Is a cory record. II the war
was hideous, what are the accident
massacres with more than double the

that If inferred as the soldiers were
laid away in Flanders, the victims
of accidents would make burial

STRANGE FACTS THAT
FEW PEOPLE KNOW

The basis of health. Is diet and wise
housewives are constantly searching
for information about food for they
realize that before all else they must
keep their families not only nourished
but healthily nourished. They also,
who have this problem at heart, know
that to stimulate the jaded appetite
they must appeal to the eye.
The apple, as old as the Garden Of
Eden, is just beginning to be appre-
ciated as an important article of diet
Until recently, apples have been eaten
simply because they are a delicious
fruit and because they are considered
healthful but just why has never been
really understood.
Apples contain more iron, necessary
TO provide red corpuscles, than is OBJ
tanned from flour, which makes bread
the staff of life." Iron is necessary
to the body for energy. There Is more
fuel value in the good ripe apple per
pound CESS calories) than in beets
string beans, egg plant, carrots, to-
matoes, squash, canned peas, turnips
oysters, koumiss or buttermilk Call
cium is another content of the apple.
Calcium Is indispensable to the health
OF the bones and the teeth and all
intestinal secretions. Calcium and po-
tassium ara found in equal proportions
to the body Every cell of the healthy
body contains potassium, but when
food lacking this necessity is con-
sumed, the body quickly loses its
healthy quality. Magnesium, another
content of the apples, serves as phos-
phorus carrier In vegetable nutrition
and without phosphorus there would
be no living cell in the body. So you
can see that the .03 per cent Of phos-
phorus in q good, ripe apple is valuable
indeed.
1t has been found upon Investigation
that the prevalent, malnutrition
throughout America is not due to any
lack Of protein. but more especially to
the lack of calcium and phosphorus in
the over refined food stuffs SO much
in vogue at present.
These are the scientific facts about
apples-take them to heart, Of YOU

which he rallied the Belgians to re-
sist the Huns. The cardinal said:

added, my dear brethren, in

owe to the invading power neither

ence." Well, l noticed i'm
mediately at that moment that I
had reasoned correctly; that is,
that display of weakness in
cites violence from the German,
but moral resistance creates re-

Thus did the cardinal reveal the
weakness of the Germans-the weak
ness of all who rely entirely on brute
force. A nation which bluffs. an in
dividual who bluffs is usually moral
coward and a display OF moral cour-
age overawes and defeats the coward
In his position OF religious and moral
teacher Cardinal MERCER held COM
manding position and employed a force
greater and more potent than vio-
lence. In its face the Germans proved
themselves towards. The cardinal
performed a service for his country
fully as great as any soldier or officer
on the field of battle. 1t was his
majestic and sublime conduct in his
nations crisis which gave courage ia
his people and final victory to the
cause of Belgium.
