Holbrook declined the offer of the
operators to use the military

The troops remained in the
cars, but leaned out of the win
dows, and chatted with the strik-
ers. 1t was expected that the
regulars would occupy Walsen-
burg this afternoon and the mill
tia would withdraw. Union lead
ers promised that the strikers
would surrender arms and ammu-
milton to the regulars as soon as
the militia left the strike zone.

1t was announced yesterday, that
couples who fell victims to the mar
riage mill of Chicago" whose cere-
monies were performed by Justice of
the Peace. Edward R. Polk and his
fellow matrimonial quacks, may be
married without paying for it. Many
couples married by Justice of the
Peace Polk appeared at the marriage
license bureau and obtained new Ii
censes to remarry.
Thre have been different opinions
among judges as to the legality OF
such marriages. Several say that
while such weddings are against the.
public morals, they nevertheless are
binding and safeguard the interest of
the innocent parties of the marriage.
Other judges think the ceremonies
were wholly illegal.

Of the fair. The races cost $500,
and both the racehorse men and the
public we're satisfied, to such an ex-
tent that North Yakima has probably
won a reputation as the best racing
city in the Northwest. The $6405 dis
pensed in livestock premiums is scat
tered all over the Northwest and as
far east as Iowa. Premiums paid in
other departments of $469 in poultry,
1896 in horticulture, $577 in agri-
culture, 1918 in dairying, $40 for
bees, and approximately $3.50 for
arts and crafts, have demonstrated
that it is possible to arrange the pre-
MUM list In such a manner as to
get most excellent exhibits for the
part of the gate receipts which they
probably earned, or in other words,
to make each department pay its
own freight.

Of it's immediate effects was to pre-
vent a carrying out of the racing
cards in Canada. DR.. Graves and DR..
Robert Prior, of North Yakima, to
whom had been assigned the speed
department, Immediately took advan-
tage of the situation and made one
big bet on their judgment.
Had they failed the 1914 deficit
would have been as big as the 1913;
did they win, they might break even.
The racehorse men all wanted to try
the North Yakima track and ends
were greatly stretched all around to
give them a chance. They took 1t

sions Of the racing men after the
meeting is any criterion. for each and
every one left the fair grounds salts
fled with his portion of the $1,000
cash that was dispensed during the
week in prizes.
1t is generally conceded that a fair
of this kind is primarily an educa-
tional institution, but according to
Secretary ]. E. Shannon, two ele-
mentss are necessary to make 1t such.
Assuming that the best possible dis
plays are obtained, he argued that it
was necessary to have something to
bring the people to the gates to spend
their money.
This the races and other entertain
ment attractions were supposed to do,
then the remaining thing was to
make them take an interest in the
displays after their appetites for
pleasure had been satisfied. This In
ducement was furnished by the state
institutions in the form of novel dis
plays never shown at a fair in this
state before, and so we'll did these
exhibits attract that portion Of the
uninterested public to the fruit, veg
etable and other departments, thai
it is estimated that not a single in
dividual who entered the fair grounds

tural exhibit, after being drawn tt

gree of promptness, but here We have
failed. Your credit is good, the mer-

you, and you need them, too. It's

But why follow a plan that you
know is working to your own hurt?
Why not borrow the money, If need
be, and pay that store bill and then
resolve resolutely by the help Of God
and that little wife of yours that you
will pay as you go? Better to pay s
or 10 per cent at the bank for a time
than pay the added profit. Most
farmers have sufficient income at al
most any time of the year to meet
the most urgent living expense, if
they only think SO.
There r the cows and chickens
and perhaps you have some apples
or potatoes. Make it a rule to bring
into town each week as much or a

when you sell a bunch of stock or a

long wanted, and these will seem the

1914 is going to establish a new rec

there may be times when 1t is hard,
when the demand for the necessities

that what he loses is not always the

stated, in extending credit to a large
number there will always be some
who fail to pay. This is the reason

Farmers Should
Get Out of Rut
BY. J. A.. HART.

by. j.. A. HART.
HAVE driven teams considerable
over bad roads and noticed that
where the roads were badly rutted
and a wheel got In, it was hard pull
ing to get out again and often re-
quired the ingenuity of the driver
and the strength of the team exerted
to their utmost to get out again.
There is a rut into which many OF
us farmers fall that is equally as bad
and often more difficult to pull out
of. I refer to the habit of running a
store bill. Habit, l say, for when all
is taken into consideration, most OF
us could dispense with the luxury and
be none the worse off.
True, a system like ours requires a
certain amount Of credit, and that is
a large amount, but the worst kind OF
credit a man a get Is credit at the
local stores. In the first place credit
here is not restricted as 1t is at the
bank, or other places Of business,
and the Inevitable result is that some
bad accounts are carried; accounts
that are never paid and for the loss
of which the merchant must add to
the price of his goods if he Is to con-
tinue in business.
Then, too, the tendency Is to pur-
chase things which, while we may
and doubtless do need them, we could
get along without till such time as
we had the cash to pay for them. In
looking forward to the net result Of
our labors and operations We are APP
to overestimate the returns or to un'
derestimate the expenses, and so the
end of the year finds us where its be
ginning found us. In fact, we are
mortgaging the day after tomorrow
to pay for the day before yesterday
Value of Paying Cash.
1t is safe to say that the farmer
who allows himself to carry a store
bill through the year pays an aver
age of 10 per cent more for the good
he uses than the one who has thu
cash and pays promptly. This is no
the merchants fault--it is clearly hi,
own-for by patronizing the credi
system he places the merchant unde
additional expense and the handicap
of waiting for his cash. He also in
directly encourages the carrying o
men who are not responsible and tn
consequent loss to the merchant of a
least a part of the business done.
