The County War Board's meeting yesterday got results.

Not merely by word of mouth but reports will be rendered telling who have wheat stor ed In their homes, and the govern ment will take charge of such cases. After settling what must be dona rc; lative to wheat, the Board took up the question of needed funds in the state to take care of war emergencies 'nnd petitions wore started for plac; mg tho initiative moasuro on the ballot this fall to amend the con stitution so that another mill tax may bo added by tho state, ,; : ' But one of the most concrete things the Board did was to as:c the county court ' by resolution and petition to " Appropriate $250 a month for the v. . purpose of taking enre of the expense - of collecting the wnr funds subRcrlb ft ed In the different drives and to ut ; tend to detail work which men who are very busy cannot well do. . The county court will acquiesce in this matter, for the Board in Us rc- solution pledged the honor of every citizen attending to -stand by the ij court even if the appropriation asked for caused tho county expense to ex- cood the legal limit as now prescrib- od by law. ,t- . Thus, the afternoon's meeting bore results even larger than they appear at tho present moment. Everyone tr present renllzed wo must get down to the business of war that this is a not n spasmodic burst to be over in a short time, bonce the cool, calm de liberation of Union county men and women with the usual excellent re- ; suits which follow such deliberation. The cold weather has set tho irrain back in tho Grande, Rondo valley to really an alarming extent. Of course, wo still huve lots of .wheat, that is something this ; valley always has, but . the bumper crop is not nearly so cheerful looking as it was a short time ago. Another excellent reason for abolishing wheat from the tables of Union county.
