WHEREAS, great conflagarations
yearly destroy vast areas of our coun-
try's magnificent forests, entailing
tremendous economic waste and loss
of human life; and,
WHEREAS, the forests Of the
Rocky Mountains Of Colorado have
in years past been seriously depleted
by uncontrolled fires, with resultant
destruction of vast bodies of timber
and impairment of their economic
and aesthetic value; and,
WHEREAS, the welfare of the in
dustrial and recreational interests of
our state are intimately associated
with the perpetuation of our timber
and outdoor life resources; and,
WHEREAS, these devastating fires
have been caused largely through
carelessness by human agencies;
NOW, THEREFORE, i, George Ste
phan, Lieutenant and Acting Cover
nor of the State of Colorado, hereby
designate the week of May % to %
next, as FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK, and do request and urge all
citizens of this State, and all persons
residing or being within its bound
aries to unite in thought and action
for the preservation Of our common
heritage by preventing and suppress
ing fires in our mountain forests; and
Il especially commend to churches,
schools and civic and commercial or

formation to this end by sermons,
talks and addresses during the week
designated.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have

1--WE know how serious your financial
problems are we know the difficulties

that the American government ad-
vanced $4,000. 100000 to its allies to
attain victory and peace. Certainly 1t
is worth making the additional advance
in order to realize the peace for which
we have already struggled for nothing
Is more certain than that until normal
conditions are restored in Europe there
can be NO peace"
Above all things, I would say that
whatever action is taken should be
taken Immediately. The crisis Is SO
acute that the situation does not admit
of delay except with the possibility OF
consequences enc hardly dares contem-

The situation that have spread out

The Facts Of the Telephone
Situation in Louisiana.
,Peuaeu
oporaed.
The Service Situation.

Telephone service should be adequate, eff
ficent and dependable; sufficient in quantity,
satisfactory in quality and furnished without
interruption.
Adequate service is dependent upon ade-
quate facilities
Efficient service is dependent upon a suf-
tcient number of trained employees to main.
tain and operate the facilities.
Dependable service is dependent upon both
adequate facilities and trained forces.
The facilities are paid for with the money
invested in the business. Trained forces are
paid with the money paid to the Company by
the public for the service furnished.
In no other way can these essential requi-
sites of service be had The needed facil-
tiles are never paid for out of the earnings OF
the company, and the employees are never
paid out of the capital of the company.
Subsequent statements will show what the
Company has done to meet its obligation to
furnish both facilities and forces
Everyone knows that this Company's SER
vice has been dependable. Throughout the
war and in spite of strikes aud the most alb
normal conditions ever known, our service
was furnished without interruption. While
the service now is not adequate to meet the
unprecedented demand, due to causes which
will be given later, the facts show that the
Company is now furnishing a far greater
quantity of service than ever before.
The following figures show the service fur
