I'm FLANDERS FIELDS @ .lQ
THE PoPP1Es CROW

A most worthy movement was recent
ly set on foot in Colorado when Gov
ernor Shoup commissioned Mrs. Mary
&C. G. Bradford, former state superin-
tendent Of public instruction, to take
charge of drive throughout Colorado
for the benefit of needy French women
and children who were made widows
and orphans in the late world war, and
who now look to us for an expression
of our appreciation for the sacrifice
they made in the cause of world lib
erty. ha
The French women have made and
shipped to this country thousands and
thousands of artificial peoples, very
close duplicates of the originals that
grew in Flanders fields, and which in
spired the author, DR.. John McCrae,
to write that beautiful, sad, suggestive
poem, "In Flanders Fields.''
These peoples are to be sold at 10
cents each, for use as buttonieres, and
the sum thus raised is to be sent over
seas for the use of the mothers and
Children who were made widows and
orphans by the relentless hand of war.
Mrs. Bradford has asked Mrs. Gretra
Pottenger, superintendent of schools Of
this county, to take charge of the sales
in this county, and Mrs. Pottenger will
ask the superintendent of the various
schools Of the county to assist her in
the sale for this county.
Governor shoup has proclaimed Sat-
urday, May 2s, two days prior to our
national Decoration Day, as the day on
which the drive shall be made. Mrs.
Pottengcr viii ask our people to be as
liberal as possible in their purchase Of
these peoples, to the end that we may
prove to the French sufferers Of the
great war that we appreciate the great
sacrifice they made for world liberty.

SHALE OILS
COMING TO THE FRONT.

An age old industry Of Scotland
transplanted to America has advanced
from the experimental to the produc-
ing stage of shale oil production III
this state.
The extraction of oil in commercial
quantities from shale has been an I'M
portant industry in Scotland for years
past, the most popular processes or
methods of extraction being by the
Henderson and the Pumpherston or
Bryson retorts, which are in use in
that country at the present time. How
ever, as the work of producing this
oil from shale has been carried on since
the year 1s4S in Scotland, we find it
not at ali surprising that the Scottish
shale oil industry has been highly sue
cessful.
The average oil content Of Scottish
shales is twenty gallons per ton. Sta
tist;cs show that Scottish eompanic.
are paying annual dividends of from
ten to twenty -four per cent.
The Colorado oil shales occur in
beds much thicker than those in Scot
land. They are more persistent and
cover much larger areas; thus the min
ing process is much cheaper. Colorado
shales carry more than twice the oil
content Of the Scottish shales. The
favorable location of these shales and
the increasing value Of crude oil and
refined products assure promising fu-
ture to the shale refining industry
throughout the Rockies.
The Monarch Shale Oil company has
installed "Gineto retort on its prop
erty on Con creek, near DeBeque, Colo,
and the plant was put in operation
three weeks ago. The installation con-
sists of one "Ginet" retort, which is
producing oil at the rate of seventy
barrels per day; but the mining,
crushing and conveying equipment is
designed to handle 800 tons Of shale
per day, and as soon as additional re-
torting units are put in operation the
daily output Of this oil will be increas-
ed to 800 barrels. The principal prod
uct of this process is an oil especially
adapted to the treatment Of high-grade
ores by the flotation process, and which
is said to assure a ready market for the
shale oil at about $500 per barrel.
The cost Of producing shale oil at this
plant is estimated at $3.50 per barrel.
Tho Monarch Shale Oil company will
furnish IS barrels Of crude oil to be
used on the streets Of Glenwood
Springs. This shipment is expected to
arrive here the early part Of next week.

The freshman cooking class prepared
and served an elegant dinner Wednes-
day evening at the Garfield county high

pleased with the dinner and the class
received many compliments on thei
work, and Miss Kirk is to be given
much credit for the splendid work Of
her class.

WATER MUST REMAIN
IN NATURAL CHANNEL

Judge Shumate decided in the dis
trict court this week water case that
is an unusual proceeding in this por-
ton of Colorado, unfolding the deci-
sions rendered by the courts in other
portions of the state, to the effect that
water decreed for irrigation purposes
must not be diverted from it's natural
channel and used for manufacturing
purposes to the detriment of the owner
CT an irrigation right.
The case referred to was an injunc-
ton proceeding brought by Matte l..
G. Gilman against the Monarch Shale
Oil company, and seeking to restrain
the defendant company from turning
water out of gulch tributary to Con
creek and into a pipeline, conveying
saiG water 5000 feet to its retort,
wherA-it was used for cooling purposes,
and then by pipeline conveyed to and
turned into the creek above the plain
tiff Is headgate, the defendant company
claiming that the plaintiff had not
been injured, but that although a small
quantity of the water diverted by the
company was lost through evaporation,
more was allowed to reach the creek
through the pipeline than would reach
it if the pipeline were not used and
the water was left to reach the creek
through the natural channel Of a dry
gulch.
This is question which has never
been determined, and one which would
be very difficult, if not altogether i'm
possible Of determination, with any
reasonable degree of certainty. How.
ever, the courts apparently held that
even the small amount Of water which
the defendant company diverted from
a small gulch adjacent to Con creek,
if left in its natural channel might
serve ~ partial carrier for other
water, and therefore its elimination
from this channel probably resulted in
the loss to the creek Of some water.
The court therefore restrained the
defendant company from diverting any
Of the waters coming into and flowing
from the gulch in question, so as to
prevent any of the water from flow
ing down the creek in sufficient guam
tity to supply the plaintiffs adjndi-
Gated water right Of 3 of cubic foot
at the headgate of the Cissna ditch
No. 2. Mayes and Taylor represented
the plaintiff in her action, and the de-
PENDANT company was represented by
c. w. Darrow, who gave notice Of his
intention to appeal from the decision
If the court.

BUTTER Is CHEAPEST
FOOD ON MARKET TODAY,

DENVER, May 11.-There is some
thing going on in the dairy world that
should make every consumer Of food
sit up and take notice. The dairy in
dustry, through its dairy council is
bringing home to the public the econ
omy, health and efficiency resulting
from consumption of dairy products.
Butter says President A. T. Nc
Clintock of the Colorado Dairy council,
"is the cheapest food we have today.
Due to an unusually early heavy sea-
son production, butter is selling at the
lowest price in several years. But If
it was selling for double its present
price it still would be cheap, for
it is the most wholesome food that
nature has given to mankind. It pro-
duces, energy, rebuilds tissue, strength
ems the bones, and in addition con-
tains in high degree the vital vita
mines recently discovered by soient-
lists and pronounced absolutely essen
tial 10 growth and development.
"The dairy industry is the greatest
friend Of mankind. It means two bill
lion dollars annually to the nation and
twenty eight million dollars annually to
the state. Its product is the only arti-
Gle Of diet whose sole function in ma
ture is to serve as food, and it is
the one food for which there is no sub
stitute.
ga greatly increased consumption Of
butter means that the consumer is ben
Gifted in health, vitality, efficiency and
pocketbook, and that the producer,
upon whom the burden of falling prices
has fallen with great severity, is ben
edited by an assured and stabilized
market for his product"
The Colorado Dairy council is actively
cooperating with several cities in Col
orado, notably Colorado Springs and
Pueblo, where nmtritonal campaigns
and clinics for greater consumption Of
dairy products are being conducted with
great success"

The Theme

A little dreaming by the way,
A little toiling day by day.,
A little pain, little strife,
A little joy-and that is life
A short=lived, feeting summers morn,
When happiness seems newly born,
When one day sky is blue above,
And one bird sings-and that is love.
A little wearying of the years,
A tribute of few hot tears,
Two folded hands, the fainting breath,
And peace at least-and that is death.
just dreaming, loving, dying, SO
The actors in the drama go;
A fitting picture on wall,
Love, death, the themes! But is it all?

HUGE NAVlES NOW
BECOMING OBSOLETE
Airships and Airplanes
Would Destroy
Large Armies

An English writer, Col. G. r.
Finch-noyes, in commenting on the
willingness OF the British and
Americans to, discard their navies,
throws some new light on the situa-
tion.
He says that in the light of the
present invention in aircraft, and
poison gas, the navies that could
float on the surface of the seas are
very rapidly becoming obsolete. 1t
is we'll known, of course, that they
have airships now that can carry
large quantities of bombs and that
they have invented poison gas that
can be dropped from the airships In
quantities, that will explode upon
striking an obstacle, and that this
poison gas will spread over the land,
killing everything that it touches.
He makes rather startling state
ment, that we now have airplanes
that will carry long range gun,
capable of throwing q sixty pound
shot six miles and striking the OBJ
ject with unerring aim; crafts that
can be used to lombard city at q
distance of six miles, and the city

send them out. The airship can be

People Request Legisla-
tive Bodies to Levy
Taxes for New
.s improvements
ARE TOO LAVISH
One Citizen Out of
Every Sixty is Paid
by the State

John D.. Robertson of the state
bureau of taxation told some plain
truths and facts in a speech at
Jerome, recently. He Is a salaried
man of the state and he warns the
people that they are responsible for
the present taxation and they are
taxing themselves to the point where
payment is becoming impossible and
for that reason they, must spend
less money.
Mr.. Robertson has made study Of
the tax question for years and he
knows what he is talking about when
he says that one out Of every sixty
people Of the state of Idaho is a
salaried public official, serving the
people of the state in some capacity
and for which service he and she
receives salary sufficient to support
them. The number includes school
teachers who are paid from the pub
lie funds.
The statement has been made and
verified that Idaho as a state levies
less tax than any other state in the
northwest for state purposes, about
81 cents out Of every 500 is used
for state purposes and this amount is
SO low that no one should object to
1t.
1t is the vast amount of tax Great
ing bodies that run the bills so high,
with county boards of commission
ers, school boards, town and village
trustees, highway directors and d.
rectors of irrigation all having the
power to levy and create taxes and
with no central body governing we
are running away with ourselves.
Each Of these bodies having the
power to levy and create taxes with.
out the knowledge Of what the other
tax creating bodies are doing creates
sum total that is staggering.
The members of these tax creating
bodies do not make taxes of their
own free will and accord. It is the
result Of the people asking for taxes
to be levied for this. improvement
and that improvement,u until a tax bill
has been reached that is impossible
to pay.
Mr.. Robertson says that the people
cannot stand this period Of spending
because it will be impossible to pro-
duce the needed amount from their
farms and business to meet the tax
bill
The commissioner asks that the
people take the blame and place it
where 1t belongs that they them.
selves are extravagant In their de-
mand for elaborate school buildings,
hard surfaced roads, elaborate build
ing for state purposes, inspections
and regulations. 3
In his address. Mr.. Robertson
stated that the 1921 hay crop If sold
at "a would not be sufficient to pay
the tax bill. Neither would the
wheat crop. M
To many pretty buildings and
schools and educational programs,
miles Of hardsurfaced highways, too
much legislation and long lists Of big
salaried employees combine to cause
the soaring Of the tax charge. And
the people request their legislative
bodies for these various objects.
