ROMEO MAKING GOOD

NOmEO mAN1IV0 0OJO
News reaches us from Romeo
that they have had good showers
nearly every day for week past,
and that the crops are looking fine.
This is encouraging for Romeo
has a good start toward making a
splendid town. There are no sa-
looms to sap its vitality and never
will be as all lots are sold under
condition deeds with a liquor clause
similar 10 that in force in Monte
Vista.
The new hotel and bank build
ing is well under way, the walls
being nearly to the second floor.
This structure will cost S25, 900
and be a credit not only to Romeo
but to the entire San Luis valley.
Roy Campbell of Alamosa is the
contractor.
Money is now in hand to build
a 5000 church home and work
will begin at once. Here is an in
teresting example of the enterprise
and unity of spirit pervading the
community. The church is or
gained under the United Presby-
terrain denomination, but is COM
posed of members from nearly all
the evangelistic churches. Instead
of having several small and weakly
organizations with undergrad
pastors, struggling for a lively
hood, they have a strong and
vigorous society helpful to the
community rather than n drain
upon it.
This is only emblematic of the
feeling among the people and if
they continue to work hand in
hand there is no reason why
Romeo should not become, in
short time, one of the leading
towns of the Southwest.

The Broom at the Masthead.

There still exists a very old custom
among seamen of displaying broom
at the masthead of ships intended to
be sold to indicate that they are to be
swept away" The custom original
ed with the famous Dutch admiral
Tromp, who when he appeared off the
English coast hoisted broom to show
his intention Of sweeping the Eng
lish feet from the sea. The Eng
lish admiral, replying to this imper-
tinent signal. Immediately hoisted a
horsewhip to the masthead of his
ship to show the arrogant Dutchman
that he meant to give him drubbing.
For this reason a pennant is oftentimes
dubbed 1.-The horsewhip" by seafaring
men. Sea lore. Of course, is full OF
symbolism. and the broom is only one
of many signs used that have a meta
phorical meaning.-London Globe.

kaiser, reviewing some troops one day,
asked a number Of men their names,
and Andrea was among this number.
The kaiser smiled at him good humor-

"" so your name is Andree, eh?' the
kaiser said DO you know you've got
a very famous namesake?'

THE man who has made a success of
farming and plans to move to town in
his declining years is, nine cases out of
ten, making a false move, which will
bring him more dissatisfaction than
pleasure. If the retired farmer has
ample means to keep him in town for
the rest of his days, he can get vastly
more good out of these means in the
country, where he has been used to
living and working, than in town under
different conditions and among strang-
ers. A farmer of means who wishes to
retire in the country on his own farm,
where he has worked all his life, can
make conditions ideal for the most
pleasant life on earth. With his spare
money he can purchase and install mod
ern conveniences in his farm home and
embellish the grounds to make them
more beautiful than the city millionaire
on his restricted lot. The fields and
the orchard and the live stock will al
ways divert the mind into fresh and
healthy channels, while the streets and
narrow blocks in the town will be de-
pressing. The retired farmer of means
can be prince in the country on his
own farm and in his own farm home.
The tide now seems to be turning in
the other direction. Town and city
people are talking of retiring in the
country for their old days, and many of
them are doing it. This is really bet
ter move, for the city man in the
country can have more fun than the
farmer in town. State Journal.

WHEN two or three democrats are
gathered together harmony is general
ly thrown to the winds. The state con-
vention held in Milwaukee Tuesday is
another illustration that the party is as
hopelessly split into factions as are the
republicans, with no immediate chances
of improved conditions and however
much desire to get together there is no
common ground on which united par
ty can stand. In utter desperation it
is willing to accept anything in its
platform that is likely to capture a few
votes without regard to it's wisdom as an
abstract proposition. 1t condemns the
extravaganza of the state administra-
ton and then favors state binder
Irvine plant that is certain to prove a
rat hole for public funds. When the
opposition is torn with dissention and
discord and there is chance for success
the party finds itself without leadership
or consistent platform that appeals
to the independent voter.

THE furious speculation in land val
ues in the West has resulted in an al
most unprecedented rise in interest
rates in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,
Iowa and adjoining states. In Iowa,
where land speculation is keenest,
money is reported to be hard to get at
8 per cent. On account of this move
ment and purchase of automobiles by
farmers, which are estimated to amount
in the Middle West to SIS, 900, 900, the
deposits of the country banks are being
pulled down rapidly. Our Western
friends have been so wonderfully bless
ed with crop yields in recent years that
they have begun to feel that the old
days of comparative failure and hard
times can never return. 1t is to be
hoped they never will, but it would
seem to be the part of prudence, in the
midst of prosperity, to save something
for the possible rainy day, instead of
investing it in automobiles.

What the Figures Say.

Congressman Martin of South Dakota
made a speech in congress the other
day in which he compared the situation
the farmer finds himself in, under the
present tariff and that of 1897 under
the Wilson tariff 1t is we'll to consider
these things when lot of men are try
ing to stampede us out of our common
sense.
Mr. Martin showed that bushel of
corn in 1897 would purchase pounds
of sugar; now it will purchase Is pounds
of sugar. He followed this with other
comparisons. Twelve years ago a
bushel of corn would purchase gallons
of illuminating oil; now it will purchase
IL gallons. Expressed in purchasing
value in coffee. in 1897 bushel of corn
would purchase 3 pounds of coffee; now
it will purchase pounds of coffee. A
bushel of corn in 1897 would purchase
18 pounds of barbed wire with which to
fence in the farm; today it will pur-
chase 33 pounds. The average hog in
1897 would buy 81 pounds of granulated
sugar; now it will buy 1872 pounds. That
hog in 1897 would buy 65 gallons of IL
Eliminating oil; now it will buy 139 gal
Ions. In 1897 it would buy 116 pounds
of barbed wire; now it will buy 387
pounds.
Every farmer of average intelligence
knows all this. He can tell it by a
moments thought of his own prosper
ity.
Of course the tariff will not make a
good farmer out of poor one. The
t.howlers," however, would make US
think that it is impoverishing the good
farmer.
