Here the Polish cities are naturally the highest, and how far the industrial and political troubles of the Russian Empire are the work of the persecuted Jew may be gathered from the population of such places as Grodno and Lodz. It is inter esting that the rate is ten times higher In New York than 1t is in London. though it Is difficult to understand why Manehes- ter's figures should be seven times higher than Rirminsham's.
 But mere figures do not convey any idea of the influence of the Jews. since the im- portance of the work they have done and arc doing in inc world is out of all pro- portiou to their numbers.

Drink as a Drink Cure.

From the Chicago Journal.
 The authorities in Norway have dis covered novel way of curing drunk enness. The patient" is placed un der lock and key, and his nourishmeni consists in great part of bread soaked in port wine. The first day the drunk ard eats his food with pleasure, and even on the second day he enjoys it On the third day he finds that it is very monotonous; on the fourth day he becomes impaunet. and at the end of eight days he receives the wine with horror. It seems that the disgust continues, and that this cure givei good results.

The high figures in South Africa are per- haps to be expected. In Europe, Russia accounts for more than half the total of Jews, and Russia, Germany and Austria Hungary for nearly 90 per cent. The pro- portion of Jews to the total population is, in Poland 1925 per cent; in Russia (out- side Poland), 4.O3 per cent; fin Germany, 1.04 per cent, and in the United Kingdom, 70 per cent.
 It is exceedingly curious that. despite the fact that the Spanish Jews are one of the divisions of the race, Spain's propor- tion is only 01 per cent, and Portuga1s .02 per cent. In Palestine the ratio Is 12 per cent, in the United States 197 per cent, nearly four times greater than in Great Britain while in New Zealand it falls to per cent.
 The total Jewish population of the world i is calculated in this way:

PLACING THE BLAME.
John Philip sousa Recalls an Incident
 of His Boyhood Here.

John Philip Sousa was condemning the voice of comic opera comedian. says an exchange.
 ..It is such a voice. he said smiling, .'as belonged to a young man whom l knew in my boyhood in Washington.
 "One night. at mems party, this young man sang a solo. It was exe- crable. In the midst of the hideous racket, bluff old Squire Baer entered. Squire Baer sat down and folded his hands on the knob of his stout stick He waited patiently till the young man had finished. Then he said to him:
 s.sWell, boy, I don't blame you. You did your best But if I knew the man who asked you to sing. I'd crack him over the head with this club.'"

JEWISH INFLUENCE
 Is REMARKABLE
IMPORTANCE OF THE WORK THEY
 ARE DOING IS OUT OF ALL PRO- PORTION TO THEIR NUMBERS.

From the London Express.
 The power of the Jew in the modern
 world can hardly be exaggerated. In the world of finanee about which all the
 other worlds of human activity revolvey
 he is supreme, and in sense statesmen
 and Kings, soldiers and diplomats are de- pendent on his will. In London he is everywhere. Most of us muster dozens of Jews among our acquaintances, and
 not q few among our best friends, and there are many of our friends whom we do not suspect of having Jewish blood in
 their veins. And 1t is therefore, not a
 little surprising to learn from the new edition of "rhe Jewish Year Book" that in Greater London, out of a population of 6,500,000, there are only 13S,S60 Jews in all,
 or a fraction over 2 per cent.
 The statistics of the Jews in various parts of the world are exceedingly inter- esting. The following are the figures of the British FmDire.

The following from an eastern

ney Thomas L. Powell received a

bought a replevin suit in the local
courts against Mrs. f. T. Mithoil
to gain possession of about SO
900 of Jewels. said to be held by

jewels are the property of tn.

they may be sold to pay off debts

STATE FAIR A SUCCESS.

The attendance at the State fair
at Pueblo in course this week is
surprising all expectations, with
the exhibits right up to date and
a fine showing of Colorado prod
ucts and industries. There is no
better advertising medium, or one
that appeals more forcibly to east
ern people visiting our state than
these ocular exhibitions of what
our commonwealth can produce.
Easterners do not. as rule. ap-
preciatc that Colorado is great
agricultural state whose farming
land makes empires that cause the
old states of the east to sink into
insignificance. Most eastern peo-
pie think of our state as being IA
mining country only and this is the
idea that the state fair does much
to dispel. Couejos county has no
cause to blush for her exhibit. 1t
is recognized as being one of the
very best, both as to assortment
and size, as well as its character
istically fine arrangement. Every
one from our region should make u
special effort to see this exhibit if
in Pueblo as it gives one far bet
ter idea of our resources and the
great future before the San Luis
valley.

The Sao Luis Valley Fair at

ing number of novelties for the
entertainment of its visitors, the
two best being the chariot race and
the wild horse race. One can i'm
agine the excitement of the racing
of eight thoroughbreds. hitched
four abreast to chariots such as
Pharoah used to 20 calling in and
the sight will be well worth going
to see. The wild horse race will
be red hot test between a lot of
outlaws that have never been han
died or ridden and there is bound
to be a fine exhibition of rough
riding of the real sort such as one
as rule only reads of Some of
the best riders in the valley are
entered for the contest and the col
lection of bad horses can't be beat.
There will also be a fine entertain
ment at the opera house each even

great success. for our people are
becoming awakened to its advant-
ages to the valley and everyone
should enter any and all good cx-

RUSSIA'S HONE TROUBLES

The continuous uprisings in
Russia, especially the last in the
Baku oil region, has demonstrated
that there is not sound plank
from truck 10 keelson in the Rus
sian ship of state and the best
thing the czar can do is to abandon
the antiquated craft and start out
for an imperial voyage ON Il new
one, based ON modern ideas. The
Russian peasantry are "brethren
to the OK" all right, but even an OK
will resist if goadcd too much. and
, that Seems to be the causc of the
present trouble. The Russian peo-
pie have the making Of a great ma
tion in them. as their progress in
the past fifty years has shown. even
though that was gained against the
unassisting apathy of a most worth
less government. 1t is to be hoped
that the present uprisings will CON
vince the czar that there must come
change and that he will be man
enough to put through the reforms
necessary. The returning soldiers
from Manchuria may bring home
an element that will lead to gen.
eral revolution. But until such is
started with the army behind it
we will see no gains from these
sporadic outbreaks. What this
last uprising at Baku has done is
to destroy the oil industry of the
Caucasus for years to come. and
with its destruction Russia's com
petition in the petroleum industry.
leaving America as almost the sole
distributor of oil for the world.

CONEJOS AT THE STATE FAIR

Conejos county! The name
stood out in big letters at the
state fair, both in the immense and
well arranged exhibit of its pro-
ducts and the great sweeping up OF
awards by our county that charac-
terized the finish. Conejos got
practically everything in the vari-
Gus classes in which she had cx-
hibits entered. and the number of
visitors who will take home remem-
brances of the county that took all
the prizes in sight will bc legion.
Great pains were taken in getting
up the exhibit of our products to
have a display worthy OF this re-
gion. and it is gratifying to those
who so generously contributed of
their money, time and material to
feel that their efforts have been so
pre-eminently successful.
The county officials cannot be too
highly commended in the stand
they took in furnishing money to
assist exhibitors. and the La .Jara
board Of trade deserves warm COM
mcndation for the splendid adver-
tising Of our town and surrounding
region given by their booklet. Its
assertion that that La Jara and
Conejos county are good places to
live and prosper WIS sustained by
the fine array Of awards on the very
articles that our booklet stated were
among the staples raised here
nbouts.
Coneios county's future is an as
Sured fact. Its wealth, based on
the fine agricultural region it pos
eesses, cannot but increase. Our
great need is more people good
people who are NOT afraid Of work
to put in cultivation the great areas
of unimproved land. aud there is
no way that we can so successfully |
reach the class of people we need
