willing to sit by and permit such in

donkeys of this town during the win

in the winter"
No matter what time of the day

to see number. Of these beasts wan
dering the streets half starved and

Citizens of Crested Butte, make a
petition to the Mayor and town coun-
ell concerning this matter. It would
be no trouble for them to gather all
these neglected beasts and when they
are claimed, compel the owners to
give them food and shelter. 1t would
also be no trouble to sell those that
remain unclaimed, and thus with a
record of ownership everyone would
not claim these beasts in summer.
Wake up people! Take action
against such willful neglect of these
faithful little animals.

COOPERATION ADVANCING

Opening the campaign of the Col
orado Wheat Growers association for
doubling its present membership, Gov.
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, spoke in
Denver Wednesday and defined the
assistance which has been promised
the state Organization by the National
Wheat Growers Advisory committee,
of which he is chairman.
Forty committeeman, chosen from
81 wheat-producing counties, met
with the governor following a noon
day meeting with the Denver Civic
and Commercial association. This
committee was chosen jointly by the
national committee and the local as
sociation, and will have complete
charge of the campaign by which the
wheat association hopes to secure a
10000 membership. t.r
At the open meeting in the Albany
hotel, Gov. Lowden defined the aims
of the cooperative movement and the
hopes of securing a majority sign-up
throughout the country this year.
He emphasized loyalty to the cooper
atives as the fundamental basis on
which the success of the movement
depends. ..s
'If farmers will not support CO.
operative societies which have already
reaped great benefits for. them, then
saw that faru,ers or tho1e farrneru
have absolutely no license to com
plain about hard times" said Gov.
Lowden. Cooperative societies de-
pend upon the loyalty Of the individ-
ual farmers and you cannot make a
success Of the cooperative that does
not have the whole-hearted support OF
it's members.
Active campaign under the direc.
tion of the state committee will be-
gin in Yuma and Washington coun-
| ties at once.

TO THE TEACHERS
OF GUNNISON COUNTY

February as long been considered q
patriotic month because the natal
days Of two Of Americas great build
ers come within its limits. For years.
it has been the custom all over our
land to honor these days, with poet
,ry, and song" and anecdotes Of the
lives of Washington and Lincoln, Of
ten these poems and songs have told
Of brave acts performed in battle,
have urged that youths be ready, as
was Washington. to fight for their
country. So long as we have wars,
we must have men that are willing
and eager to fight.
But the urgent need of weary
world today is not war, but peace,
secure peace, lasting peace. Wise
men everywhere, for years have been
striving to bring about this Utopian
condition. Some good has come Of
their efforts, of course, but the World
War, the state of feverish Europe
today, show us that ro permanent re-
suits have yet been reached A few
men at Washington cannot give us
security, World Court can offer no
surcease from war So long as hate
shoulders in the hearts of men the
world over, the pea"e for which we
long, is but vision.
These men have been forced to
build their house of peace upon the
shifting sands of unframed human
passions. Just how long such a house
can hold in time cf storm was re-
vealed to us few years ago. To the
teachers of today, it has been given
to mold an enduring foundation in
the hearts of the children. Teach
them peace for h. ndred years, and
strife must cease, fnr men will have
learned to reason aid be kind
1t seems to me that this year es-
pecially, we can do no bigger rev.
erence to Washing on and Lincoln
than to try to instill in the minds of
our pupils some practical thoughts
of peace that they can use every day.
To honor with marble and stone is
good but to build in the plastic
minds of boys and girls, affairs of
peace and patriotism is to build an
ever enlarging monument higher than
the stars, and one that will enfold
throughout all eternity.
