RECIPROCITY AND
THE FARMERS

A statement by the master of
the farmers national Grange, N.
j. Bachelor, made by him before
the senate committee on finance
last winter, has been going the
rounds. 1t is plea in opposition
to the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment now before the new congress
in special session.
We like the sound of it-"pro-
lection for all or for none"
But this slogan is not good
against the reciprocity agreement.
On the contrary, it is as good an
argument for universal free trade
as could be desired, and it tells for
and not against that agreement.
If that agreement were adopted,
the American farmer would be as
we'll protected as now, which is
not at all.
He might then begin to realize
that all through the protection
game he has been played for a
"chump."
Protection does not and cannot
protect agricultural interests. 1t
can and it does rob those interests
for the interests it really protects.
For a generation American far
mers have been buncoed by cum
ming protectionists. They are be-
ing buncoed now through the tar
if law. They ought to know it,
but apparently they do not. They
will know it, however, if the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement goes
into operation. And when they
do know it, why should they con-
tinue to consent to n protective
tariff which burdens them with
high prices for what they buy, but
neither protects them Oh what they
sell nor any longer even pretends
tol
Mr.. Bachelder's cry of "protec-
ton for all or for none," sounds
we'll. Let it circulate. 1t is good
doctrine.
Whatever Mr.. Bachelor may
mean by it, it will soon come to
have but one meHning-the only
sensible meaning of which it is
capable, namely, universal free
trade. Protection for all is as
impossible AS sailing n yacht with
a bellows attachment. or lifting
yourself by your bootstraps. There
fore, protection for all or for
none must come to mean PRO
lection for none" as fast rs farmers
wake up.-The Public.

THE BEET INDUSTRY

The beet contracting season in
Las Animas valley is about over
with an increase in acreage over
last year of about 200 per cent
Even this increase has not decided
as yet the question of operating
the factory, but shows the decided
change felt in sentiment regarding
the raising of sugar beets in the
valley. The crop that once was
so great a factor in the develop
ment of the valley, and that fell
into a temporary setback during
the last two or three years, is
again taking its place as the lead
ing crop of the valley, and one to
have great influence in the future
development of the agricultural
development of the Arkansas val
ley.
The distribution of millions of
dollars in the agricultural districts,
from the beets places an amount
into circulation greater than that
derived from any other crop. The
contract this year assures the far
mer of good profit from his crop
in fact, a better profit than could
be expected from other crops.

You can clean with gasoline or with a

in soap and water may be the best plan.

allowed to remain there over night close

Next morning the contents of the lar
are poured into a clean vessel and the

then rinsed in clean gasoline and hung TO

Some women possess collection Of diff

There is pink coral hand to ward off

impertinence of evil spirits and gives i'm
mnuity from plaques and poison: the
crysolite. as cure for insomnia: the en-
erald, which is supposed to cure blind
ness and ward off its approach, and the
diamond. which is a preventive Of insan-

Among the cheaper amulets are the

Any one with fear of being poisoned

sapphire will also prevent fever and make
the wearer pious and wise.
The luckiest amulet of all is set with

new DEPOT FOR La JARA
D. q R. G. Will Build Handsome
Edifice in the Sprins,

All doubts as to willingness of
the ID. d r. q. to do the square
thing by La Jara were set at rest
Wednesday with the arrival of G.
>. Thompson. superintendent of
bridges and buildings, with detail
plans of a new and modern depot
and even IA photograph of the
structure as it will appear when
finished
The building will be identical
with the one built by the company
at Del Norte last summer, 96 feet
long by 80 feet wide, of frame,
cemented on the outside upon
metal lath. The one story portion,
6Ox32 feet, will contain a baggage
room 1Sx21 feet, freight room 2Sx21
feet, and small room for express
packages. The main building is
nearly square, 3Ox32 feet, two
stories. On the ground floor is
ladies waiting room, 1Sx19 feet,
the mems waiting room, 1Sx21 feet,
these two rooms are connected by
Il hall, and an office 12xlS feet.
On the second floor are four rooms
and bath, pantry, closets, etc, to
be occupied as living rooms by the
agent.
Two sites are under considera-
ton, both on the north side of
Main street, opposite the old depot.
The one favored by Mr.. Thompson
and the most desirable is located
between the tracks. If this site is
chosen the depot will face the
town making a better appearance
from the business section. The
objections are that the switch
track must be moved several yards
futher west to allow enough space
for the building between the two
tracks and another objection is
that passengers would be obliged
to cross the main track going to
and from the station, upon which,
however, traffic is not very heavy.
The other site is upon the east
side of the main track which might
require an additional freight
switch and quite spoil the looks of
Broadway park upon which con-
siderable money has already been
spent.
