MAKING INVESTMENTS.
Safety of Principal Is More Essential
Than Big Returns.

First, here is a quotation from 8
thrift preacher:
Many fortunes have been made ant
many more will be made through wis;
investments. Many fortunes are lost
too, through unwiSe investments. Ru'
thrifty habits and consulting with pN
perienced persons like conServativ,
bankers will give one the wisdom nee
essary 10 handle money wisely"
Second. set down quotation from
the advertisement of wise and con
servative investment banker:
''In lending or investing money al
possible care should be taken to guard
against haSty or impulSive decision
Every endeavor should be made TO as
semble such reliable information as

gent judgment. The man who assumes
this attitude toward all investmen;
propositions comes TO have an mcreas-
ing regard for the element of conserYa
tism, and is ordinarily the first man to

ANDREW JACKSoN'S FINE
How Judge Hall Came to Punish the
Doughty General.


When the war of 1912 was over
vague rumors of peace drifted into
New Orleans, but still jackson did not
feel justified in revoking the martial
law, under which be had placed the
city. While the city was in this state
this peculiar incident started. A man
named Louaillier was tried us being
a spy and was acquitted. This dis
pleased Jackson, and feeling that I'm
the martial law be had complete COM
mand Of the city, he, in opposition to
the court, retained LOuaillier In prison
and sent Judge Hall out of the city
with orders not &c return until it was
regularly posted that peace had been
declared or that the enemy had left
the coast
The following day came the overdue
notice officially explaining that peace
bad been declared and that the treaty
had been ratified. Upon hearing this
Jackson revoked the martial law and
set all his prisoners free. Then pre-
pairing to send home the detached mi
litia from Louisiana, Tennessee and
Kentucky amid the greetings and dem
Onstrations of the populace, Judge Hall
returned TO the city.
In order to uphold the honor as it
seems of the civil over the martial gov
ernment, Judge Hall issued, on March
Al, an order summoning Jackson to
court for contempt of habeas corpus
writ and also 10 state his reason for
so doing The next day Jackson APP
peared in court in person. He held
written protest against the decision
which was TO be given.
Hall then imposed Il fine Of 81 900,
remarking that the duty was unpleas-
ant, that he could not forget the inn
portant services of the defendant to-
the country, and that in consideration
thereof he would not make impriSon-
ment a part of the punishment"
The fine was promptly paid amid
cheering of the crowd for the popular
hero.-Philadelphi Press.

a voice crying in the wilderness.
He is a fine big pillar of cloud by
day and humdinger of pillar of
fire by night, but when you get down
to details he has twelve thumbs and
not a finger to his back. He was made
secretary of state on a secretary of
stated salary, but it was found after
wards that he preferred peace work.
1t is said to be impossible to dislike
the gentleman if you come to know
him.
We are afraid we may meet him.
Champ Clark must not have met
him, either.
There are those who believe Mr..
Bryan wants the Nobel peace prize.
We are sincere in our belief he
would accept the money.
Those who go crazy on any subject
are said to be nuts" on that subject.
Can Mr.. Bryan be doughnut?
Some people think Mr.. Bryan gives
away half he gets for his lecturing.
Others are acquainted with him.
There never was a panacea peddler
who turned out to be a good, practical
applyer of his own remedies.
To this rule Mr.. Bryan is one of the
most splendid nonexceptions.
Mr.. Bryan has fine, durable face
and one of the most indestructible
larnyxes in captivity.
He has consumed more grape juice
per capita than any other citizen.
His smile is the "leer that made
Chautaukee famous"
He is a big moral force suffering
from dislocation.
He has been missed much more
from the platform than he will be
from the secretaryship of state when
that job shall have been rendered
slightly more vacant by his departure.
We love Mr.. Bryan, but not as sec
retary of state.
Just as we are fond Of currant jelly,
but hate it on our shirt front or in
our eye.-Ex.

"The Deadly Parallel 1S9i-1914

There is a deadly parallel" be-
tween conditions of the country today
and those of twenty years ago, de-
clares DIR. Simeon ID. Fess, represen-
tative in congress of the Sixth Ohio
district. DIR. Fess is a close student
of political conditions, being the au-
thor of the History of Political The
ory and Party Organization in the
United States.
Democrats can not ignore the dead
ly parallel of twenty years ago." he
says, "when they superseded a pro-
tective tariff system by their revenue
system under the name of the Will
son bill. Imports increased, exports
decreased, the balance of trade was
turned against us, gold was exported,
capital could not invest, labor lost en-
ployment. In a word business was
paralyzed.
"In the face of such distress, the
democratic party sought new issue
and a new leader and it found the is
ouC ~ " anu thc
William Jennings Bryan. We were
told the tariff had nothing to do with
it and that the depression was world
wide. Now, Wilson says it is merely
psychological"
"Now, note the deadly parallel: For
the first time in twenty years imports
have outrun our exports. In the sin
gle month of April, 1914, the change
against us from the month of April a
year ago, was sixty-four million dol
lars. This tendency was continued in
May, a direct result of the Underwood
tariff act, the second Wilson bill. Cap
ital is hesitating, labor is unemployed,
gold is leaving the country in fright
full proportion, business is paralized
and the nation is facing an issue of
bonds, and season of depression SIM

the last democratic administration of

remind our democratic friends of our
warnings last year when we discussed
the Underwood bill, in which some of
us pointed out the inevitable conse-
quence, we are indicted as calamity
howlers. Wilson declares it is simply
a state of mind.
at is an interesting study to note
the parallel, the similarity of the
present democratic regime with that

For eight innings it was the clean

summer and both teams were playing
fine in the field and batting was
light. Hines two base hit was the on
ly extra base hit made in the entire
game. The great thrill and worst err
rors came in the first half of the ninth.
The score was 3 to i in favor of La

batters up were easy outs. Then a
combination of hits and errors filled
the bases. The next batter hit an
easy pop fly to Fred Littler, who had
pitched and fielded a splendid game,
so the fans gave a sigh of relief. Fred
however let it drop and one run came
in. The next batter up drove a hard
liner to Beavers at short which he
fielded and threw perfectly to first
and the game was over. The fans
then broke loose and cheered Justify

For three and a half innings the

Railroad Strike

The big strike on the western rail-
ways has been indefinitely postponed
by an attempt at mediation. Even if
it is not prevented altogether it is be-
lieved that it will be delayed long
enough to enable the roads to move
the tremendous crop of wheat which
is now taxing their capacity to the
utmost. The strike if it comes will
be calamity at any time, but the
situation will be considerably relieved
if good part of the crop is moved.

Miss Stinson Is Always q Big Feature
of Any Celebration in Which She
Takes Part

Manager Chas. Maxwell has hired a
special train for Thursday, August
20, to leave Las Animas at 9 o'clock
A. M. over the Arkansas Valley r. +.
And reach Lamar at IL o'clock. Re
turning it will leave Lamar at 8 in
the evening. This train costs consid-
cradle money but as this is the only
way that people along this line can
get here for the big fair Mr.. Max
well is determined to give them the
opportunity.
Special Exhibits
In addition to the special exhibits
made by localities mentioned last
week a number of our most enterpris-
ing farmers expect to make special
exhibits of their own. E. M. Prindlc
of the famous Greenhorn ranch will
have a special exhibit of both agricul-
tural products and stock and one or
two others are getting exhibits ready.
These will be big advertisements.
Premium Lists
The premium list is now in the
hands of the printers and will soon
be out. Send your name to C. ".
Newman at Lamar and one will be
sent you as soon as printed. There
will be liberal premiums in all lines
and farmers should be making pre-
parations to exhibit their best pro-
ducts and stock.
Street Fair
Mr.. Maxwell has made arrange
ments for street fair in Lamar dur
ing the week of the fair and has Of
fered to turn his share of the profits
over to the Y. M. B. A. to be used
for the benefit of the ball club and
band. The company which will most
likely come is the best and cleanest
which has ever exhibited in this sec
ton and has dates also at La Junta
and Rocky Ford. The council at a
special meeting on Monday evening
granted a permit for the street fair
for that week, and the receipts will
make quite a material aid to the Y.
M. B. A.

Miss Stinson will be the most SEN
sational feature ever offered to the
people of the valley. See what the
Texas papers say of her:

name has become known to almost
every resident of San Antonio since
she brought her Wright biplane to
