FALL SAYS PEOPLE
REDUKED wilson
HIS MEXICAN AND ANTITRUST
POLICY HAS BROUGHT FORTH
No GOOD

Santa Fe, Nov. 11.-Much comment
is caused here by an interview attri-
buted to United States Senator Albert
b. Fall at Ell Paso while there to con-
fer with Price Moginney Of Cleve-
land. O., relative to some Terrazas
gold and silver mine interests in
Mexico. Senator Fall declares he will
not return to Washington until after
the Christmas holidays. He declared
the election of B. c. Hernandez to con-
gress a great blessing to the common
wealth.
"He is hardworking, acquainted
with the needs andi interests Of the
state and he is both. disposed and
qualified to make a representative at
washington of whom New Mexico
will feel proud
Senator Fall says that upon his re
turn to Washington after New Years
he has certain land and homestead
Legislation for New Mexico which he
will endeavor to get through congress.
The senator declares the election a
rebuke by the people of the United
States to President Wilson on the an
thrust and Mexican policy. for the
latter of which he also blames the
Secretary Of state Bryan. He de-
nounces especially the doctrine of
"watchful waiting" and disagrees with
Secretar yof the Navy Daniels, who
says that but for the situation Great
ed by the European war, democratic
congressmen would have been return
ed from every section of the country.

nation which added ten years to the
age Of Captain Grant of the Brilliant,
a four-masted British bark.
The Brilliant recently arrived in
New York harbor after a voyage Of
lis days from Hong-kong. Life be
gan to be just one strenuous minute
after another almost before Victoria
island had faded over the horizon. the
excitement continuing unabated until
the Jersey coast was sighted
The Brilliant, carrying oil stores
had an uneventful voyage outward
bound to Hong-kong and Kobe. She
carried an able crew of Swedes and
Norwegians, but they tired Of the long
grind and deserted the ship between
watches few hours after the vessel
dropped anchor in Kobe harbor. With
the holds filled with Japanese mer
chandise, Captain Grant was compelled
to sign nondescript crew composed
of no less than ten nationalities in
order to man his vessel for the home
ward bound trip to New York. He
cleared at Kobe, stopped at Hiogo until
December IS, and made Hong-kong In
two weeks. The entire crew deserted
at this port and the seamen signed in
their place represented, said Captain
Grant, the scum of the port.
Squared away to the southwark with
the Straits of Sundae as the objec-
live, the Brilliant became the theater
for series of events which made
sleep matter of three winks at time

"When you consider that 20 per cent
Of our population today is in some

ease or injury, you can see how i'm
Iportant 1t is to keep our babies from
getting sick or crippled" said DR..
Cabot today Il shall urge the ap-
pointment Of committee for the pur-
pose. 1t seems to me the schools are
the best places to do it in, next to the

being carried on to some extent.
Something should be done to inspect

The association is the only nation
wide body Of medical and lay folk de-
voting itself exclusively to this great
subject of the childs health" said
Mrs. William Lowell Putnam, in dis
|cussing infant mortality. Where many
babies die, many more are Ill, and
these Illnesses often leave their trac-
les in weakened constitutions and Grip
Piled lives. That the human race is
physically deteriorating there can be
no doubt in spite of our increased
longevity, Although we have added
about Is years to the average span
of life during the last half-century,
those years have not brought increas-
ed health, but quite the contrary. The
amount of sickness is greater, and
despite the reduction in the require
ments for army recruits, as many as
500 out of 1000 applicants are reg
ularly refused as physically unequal

HOW HANS DID

AND 1T is WORTH REMEM-

Hans Garbus is a German farmer in
Iowa. He wrote letter TO the Farm
Journal, Philadelphia, the other day.
1T summarized his experience and
that of his neighbors-in neglecting
their home merchants to save" money
by patronizing the mail order houses.
The letter is human document.
Hans Garbus writes just as he would

We farmers need awakening to the

and l am now giving my experience

Twenty-nine years ago l began my

Being boy Of good habits I got all

raise the money and build near our
farm homes or send our boys and girls
to the cities at great expanse, amidst
temptations Of which the farm has no
equal Neither am the only awaken
ing farmer. These mail-order agents
that come to cur homes every week
are becoming q nuisance and making
it unsafe to leave women and children
alone on the farm With farm cor
diality we take these strangers into
our homes, often as one OF the family,
and we have sometimes paid in hav-
ing them entice our girls to the city.
These are some facts that need con-

safest proposition all around, is far
the country people to look after their
own interests, and build up their own
country towns and bring value to
their farms Let those who want to
patronize the city mail-order house

week to trade and visit Our little
country town supported a library, high
school, band, ball team, ard we had
big celebrations every year. A farm
near a live town soon doubles in va
lue. sold my 40 acres at big adj
vance and bought an 80, gradually ad-
ding to it until had 200 acres of the
lbest land in Iowa. l then felt no need
of asking favors, and found it easy to
patronize the mail-order agents that
came almost weekly to our door. |
regret to say that l was the first in
the county 10 make up neighbor-
hood bill and send it to mail-order
house. Though we got bit every once
in while, we got in the habit Of send
ing away for stuff.
Gradually our merchants lessened
their stock of goods-for lack Of pat
ronage. Finally we began to realize
that when we needed a bolt quickly
for machinery, or clothing for sickness
or death we had to wait and send away
for it, which wasn't so pleasant.
One by one our merchants moved
to places where they were appreciat-
ed, and men of less energy moved in.
Gradually our town has gone down;
our business houses are "tacky" in
appearance, number are empty, our
schools, churches and walks are going
down, we have no band, no library
nor ball team. There is no business
done in the town, and therefore no
taxes to keep things up. Hotel is
closed for lack of travel. Go down to
the depot when the freight pulls in
and you see the sequel in mail-order
packages.
Nine years ago my rarm was worth
$195 an acre, today I'd have hard
matter to sell it at $167 an acre. 1t
is 9too far from a live town'-so ey-
cry farmer has said that wants to
buy. He wants place near schools
and churches, where his children can
have advantages. 1 have awakened to
the fact that in helping to pull the
town down, it has cost me $4,000 in
nine years Like the majority Of
farmers, l didn't figure far enough
ahead.
This sort of business means the do
ing away with country towns, What
will it mean TO farmers to have only
a few large cities at distance of
500 or 900 miles? What are we go
ing to do with our children, who are
demanding even better advantages
than we had?
Those cities we help to build re-
turn no favors; they take our money
but offer no credit in time of need.
If we want high schools, etc, we must
