THE FARMERS PICNIC

The farmers picnic at Seven
mile Plaza Tuesday was fairly we'll
attended and was source of much
enjoyment to those who partici-
pated. The attendance no doubt
would have been much larger had
1t not been for the fact that the
farmers are very busy gathering
their bounteous harvest at this
time. A. G. Cooley, the valley ag-
riculturist, was the busiest man on
the grounds, and to his energy and
push is attributed the admirable
manner in which the program was
carried out.
The address of welcome was de-
livered by Mayor Bronaugh of this
city, 1t was given in the pleasing
manner characteristic of all of Mr..
Bronaugh's impromptu talks and
was well received.
Much regret was expressed that
President Lory of the agricultural
college, who was next on the pro-
gram, was unable to be present.
DR.. Glover gave highly inter
esting and entertaining lecture on
Live Stock" He handled the
subject of cross-breeding and of
utilizing the available means of
successful farming with much
clesrness and impaired valuable
information to his listeners.
Prof. DIN took for his subject
Crops and dwelt largely on the
Importance of selecting the most
productive plant, together with the
greatest commercial value, as the
wisest course for the farmer to
pursue.
The dinner served at noon was
such an one as only farmers wives
know how to prepare and the hun
cry ones went away with the inner
man well satisfied.
Resolutions we're adopted ex-
pressing regret at the departure of
Agriculturist Cooley from the val
ley and commencing him for the
good he had accomplished while in
our midst.

Mr.. Chas. Schiele came down
from Platoro Wednesday and spent
Thursday as the guest of Jack
Nelson and wife. Thursday night
he left for his home in Colorado
Springs taking some samples from
the Mammoth mine which he will
have assayed in Denver. Mr..
Schiele is mining engineer who
has been in charge of the work at
the Mammoth for the past three
months. He says the last operat-
ors at that mine left things in very
bad shape, gouging out what high
grade ore they could find and leav-
ing the muck in the workings. All
this has been cleaned out, decayed
timbers replaced and consistent
sampling of the property has been
made, an assay of which will de-
termine future operations. Mr..

ear marks of being great proper

MORE SILOS GOING UP

Silos are fast being built and
will be one of the redeeming feat
ures of the San Luis valley. One

These silos will be built of double
steel frames, with a four-inch
wooden frame and a vacuum space
between, which will make them
non-oonductors of cold and heat.
The cold winter of last year was
good test for these silos, which
are made by the Minneapolis Steel

PROHIBITION SCARES
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
Fear Issue Will Cut Congress

before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Senators and representatives Of both
parties admit they are confronted with
the prohibition issue and that Il 10 loaded
with political dynamite at both ends. A
Democratic leader Of the House voiced
the fear to-day that Its effect would be
serious reduction In the Democratic
representation In the House.
He said the House committee would
probably report the resolution for a con-
stitutional amendment giving nationwide
prohibition. This would only accentuate
the bitterness OF the fight. and no matter
what the outcome might be members of
the dominant party in the House would
suffer In the fall election as the result
Of II.
Senator Borah Of Idaho. who has zone
on record In opposition to the licensed
liquor trafYic, told the prohibitionlsts they
would have to bring information to con-
vince Senators that a constitutional
amendment for nationwide prohibition
was the most effective way Of DEALING
with the liquor traffic or the Senate would
not seriously consider a resolution sub
hitting such an amendment to the States

force the laws now on the statute books

that prohibition was no longer "A local
issue. that the entire nation was aroused
and that where 30 many people were
desirous OF voting on question Con-
gress ought to afford them the oppor-
tunity.
Responding to Senator Borah's sug-
gestion he admitted that no one could
predict In advance Just how effective
Federal prohibition would be. II the
people desired that form. OF law II was
for them to say. and Congress had no
right to deny them that remedy. He
added that State regulation would con-
tinue and that the two would not be
inconsistent any more than Federal and
State taxation were inconsistent
