Prowers County’s Liberty Bond Sub
scription
Tho Council of Defense for Pr< were
county has recently completed u tab
ulation of the result of the sale of thr
Second Liberty Loan Bonds in thir
county and the showing appearing be
low is quite satisfactory.
The meetings held during Patriotic
Week of October 21st materially as- j
sisted in bringing about the splendid
record for the entire county as well
as renewing the spirit of patriotisn
in all citizens. The doctrine of
“America Awake” was everywhere
promulgated and war events since
then have brought close to home many
evidences of the stupendous struggle
now on.

New Explosives Act
Washington, November 12 —Van H.
Manning, director of the Bureau of
Mines, Department of the Interior, .
day appointed the following persons
as licensing officers in Colorado in
connection with the enforcement of
the new Federal Explosives Regula
tion act: L. M. Markham, county
clerk, Prowers county, Umar, and
others in each county.
The law goes into effect Novembe r
15, and provides that all persons hav
ing use for explosives must first ob
tain from the licensing officers in his
county a license stating the manner in
which the explosives are to Ik* used
and assuring the officer that the ex
plosives will be properly accounted
for.
No licenses will be issued to aliens
who are accredited to countries that
are unfriendly to the United States
It is hoped in this manner to ac
count strictly for the disposition of
all explosives and to prevent them
from falling into the hands of evilly
minded persons. The entire police
force of the country has been ask«<'
to aid in the enforcement of the law.
The penalty for the violation of the
law is a fine of $5,000 or a year in
penitentiary or both.
Unless You Buy a Liberty Bond, Old

I used to read the Doily Times tc

could endure its rhymes. My fourtcei
children read the Gumps, and when i
had a ease c f mumps Pd read th«
Polly and h( r pals or ‘Snmtter Pop’s
old fol-dc-rols, they’re good even foi
pip and thumps. But lately ive beer
getting sore at all the conservatioi
lore; it seems that i vory thinker’s soi
has got a rapid fire gun a-trying tc
get our wasteful gore. They tell ur
to eat less mat, to use less bread am
kid the cat, to cat corn meal and thin
ner peal the apple, and the Irish spud
or we’ll awaken wiih a thud to fine',
its Kaiser William’s deal. I’ve cut ou
cHckory and tea, and coffee too; nc

Gweet’ning needs, no more of rich and

T owe the grocer sixty wheels, a but

ROMANCING RONALD
By ARCHIE C. NEW.
“This stock corupuny Is crampin’ my
style,” complained Charlie Zepp, the
prolific press agent of the Olympia, to
Hazel Dwyer, the “heavy” woman of
the company, as, seated In a box, they
watching the morning rehearsal. “Same
old stuff—duy In and day out. Give
me vaudeville any day. Why, there
ain’t been a new stunt pulled off here
for a month I”
“Sure there Is.” answered Miss
Dwyer, sweetly, “but It takes bruins
to find it.” She gave him a-sly look
out of the corner of her eye, and went
on, “Ronald Connotes hardly gets any
time to curry on his lecture work.”
Zepp bounded out of his chair and
faced her excitedly.
“What’s ’is?” he demanded, all alert. |
"Lecture work? Where? When?
What d’ye know?”
Miss Dwyer regarded him calmly,
with a twinkle of amusement la her
eyes.
"Y’ou’ro right nice when you’re so
ber,” she told him, and inwurdly re
joiced at Ida scowl, “so I’ll tip you
off. Old Man Forrest Introduced him
to a good-looking girl who’s teaching ut
u girls’ school. Then Forrest, with
an eye on the box-offlee, tips her off
that Cannoles only plays Juvenile for
the love of It —that he’s a regular bus
on Shakespeare—”
“Help!” Interrupted Zepp. “Shake
speare? Shades of Bruumelster I”
“So the girl couxcd him out to the
seminary,” continued Miss Dwyer.
“Ronnie gave ’em an earful übout Ro
meo and Juliet and Macbeth, then they
yunked him back to family dluner.
lie’s due for Hamlet next Friday aft
ernoon.”
“Oh, boy!” gurgled Zepp ecstat
ically. “Local Interest —intellectual
treat —heurt stuff —all tbut! Gosh,
what a spread—hulf a column or
more.” He shut his eyes In u dreamy
perspective for an instant, then grab
bed hls hat. “Jes’ watch me.
I’m going to romance Ronald up to hls
ears.”
Forrest was leaving hls office the
following Suturday afternoon, when
un irutc figure, brundlshlug a newspa
per, loomed up in the doorwuy.
“Who wrote this?” demanded Ron
ald Cunnolc;, heatedly, In the door
way.
“What?” queried Forrest Innocently.
“That!” And Cannoles pointed. “The
dirty bums. They've ruiued me. I—”
“Here, wait u minute till I read it,”
udmouished Forrest, uud he scunned
the offensive urticle. “Where’s the
kick?” asked Forrest calmly.
“The whole thing’s a kick,” snapped
Ronald hotly. “Right where 1 live. See
here, it says, ’Following hls most Inter
esting lecture, Mr. Cuuuoles dined at
the home of oue of the fair members
of the fuculty. It is rumored that an
other allianco bus been formed by
Cupid between stage und college.’ Cu
pid, bah! I'm going to beat Charlie
Zepp to a Jelly."
“Wliat—for giving you the best
boost iu years? You’ve got the notori
ety. Whut do you cure?"
“That’s Just it,” cut in Roauld. “I
do care. Confound It, rnuu —I—l like
Miss Walters.”
“Oh J” whistled Forrest, In amaze
ment. "So that's the lay?”
After a few minutes Ronald left the !
office and Forrest got busy. He j
phoned a ueur-by restuurunt, and
three minutes later he hud the case
before Churlie Kepp.
"Get busy and write your head off.
Put in about Cannoles beiug descend
ed from English nobility—you might
slip a lord in the family somewhere—
only do It up brown. Tell all about
his wonderful college career. Smear
it on thick.”
Zepp looked at the other, open
mouthed aud iucredulous, then ex
ploded.
I "But, hang It all, chief,” he de-
I murred, “that’s all bunk. It’ll cost i
i you advertising rates. That's expeu
! sive.”
j “Hang the expense!” snapped For
j rest, imputientiy. "I’ve much* u eleun
( up on him, and he's a line young rnuu.
Go get busy uud charge It to mu.”
“Who’s that dame across the way?"
demanded Charlie of Hazel two weeks
I later us they uguln sat In a box at re
| heursul. Charlie was polntiiig to the
opposite box wherein there sat a
, beautiful young girl whose shining
eyes and smiling, dimpled cheeks fol
lowed every movement made by Ron
ald Cannoles on the stage.
Hazel followed his gaze, then pinch
ed him and whispered eagerly: “That’s
her.”
“ITer who?” echoed Charlie, blankly.
“The teacher," she whispered. “Can
noles' They’ve made up. Forrest
brought ’em together. She’s crazy
about him. There’s your chance, you
boob. Romance —gobs of it. Young,

Perforation of Stamps.
The perforation of stamps was flrsi
commenced in England In 1853, for re i
celpt and draft stumps, and for post |
uge,*tniups in 1854. Prior to that pe
riod stamps were separated by meant i
of scissors or a knife or similar means |
and In some cases those who requirei j
many resorted to the use of a roulette ,
a kind of cogwheel furnished will ,
small cutters, making a series of cut»
between the stamps.
Fish Carries Liquid Clouds.
The squid Is u crufty little denizen
of the deep. This cuttlefish isn’t much
of a fighter, us fighters go, so he has
been forced to provide some means of
protecting himself from th* myriads
of voracious fish thut inhabit the deep
sea where he lives. There is a small
pouch In which he enrries an Intensely
black fluid. On the approach of an
enemy he squirts out some of this
liquid and surrounds himself with n
black cloud. In which he hides from
hls pursuing enemy. Because of the
nature of the fluid he excretes, he Is
sometimes termed the lukflsh.
Yukon Longer Than Mississippi.
The Yukon Is übout 200 miles longer
than the Mississippi but it is 2.000
miles shorter than the
sissippl. measured from the Rocky
mountains in Montauu uud from Itasca

Hay Fever Pollens.
The development of hay fever In any
locality depends upon the atmospheric
hay fever pollens increasing to a point
which overcomes the resistance of the
patient,” says Doctor Scheppegrell. “It
was ascertained that most of the
spring aud summer cases of hay fever
are caused by the pollen of the grasses,
although the pollen of other plants,
such as the yellow dock, amaranth,
goose foot, etc., may cause the attack
or help to maintain it when set up by
the grass pollens.”
A Wise Prediction.
Always remember to turn tinned
foodstuffs out immediately on a china
dish. The sirup of tinned fruits should
be boiled up with a little sugar, and
the fruit then placed In the mixture
while the latter cools.
To Hasten Cooling.
If you want your Jellies or blanc
manges to cool and set Immediately,
after making, place the Jar In a ves
sel filled with cold water, to which
has been added a handful of salt.
