One laughable thing about this
election is the fact that everybody
except the vets is getting lots Of con-
ISOLATION out Of the results. The Dem
ocrats maintain that Wilson has
been upheld, the Republicans say
they have started toward . glorious
victory for 1915 and that Wilson has
already been repudiated. One thing
is sure-the standpatters did get q
big lot Of glory resulting from the
election. II any one can figure just
what the election of Cannon, Mondell,
Penrose and Willis means they can
do better than we can. We do not
look upon them rs bad men, but they
stand for nothing that will make our
social or political conditions any bet
ter.-Havden Republican.

Oflcial returns from the Walaen
mine precincts in Huerfano county,
show that there were 278 Republican
votes and Democratic. The vots
was uniform on every ONCE from
senator down to constable. This
shows that the American citisens
manufactured from the foreign ma
terial by Judge Northcutt number
Of years ago are more skillful In tbs
use Of the headless ballot than the
more enlightened natives Of the sgri-
cultural diatricts. where many iyeri9s
taons in the vote occurred. ft elso
indicates that the coal company was
fair and impartial. The company
might easily have returned total of
10 votes, but 1t preferred to remain
non-partisan and allow the Demo-
Gratis what 1t considered q fair share
of the votes. The Sparks has some-
times criticised Mr.. Rockefeller's
company for its political bias, but it
stands abashed at this striking evil
dence of impartiality. = Lamar

War and Live Stock

One effect OF the big European war
10 the increased interest In live stock
breeding In this country. Heretofore
the stockmen of America have fol-
lowed very closely to the European
standards in live stock breeding. The
war has suddenly put an end to i'm
portation of live stock from Europe,
and II the conflict continues for any
length Of time it will leave Europe
with not enough. live stock for their
own uses and they will later have to
come to this country to secure breed
ing stock to renew their herds.
The interesting question with stock
breeders is what effect will their cut
ting of of annual importations from
Europe have upon live stock In this
country. 1t 10 practically certain that
there will be material change in all
classes Of live stock due to the differ
ent environment under which they
are produced In this country. Here
tofore 1t has been possible to renew
the blood lines from year to year and
thus keep our breeding In line with
that Of Europe, but from now on the
breeders of this country will have to
depend upon their own efforts and
upon their own ideals. One result Of
this condition has been q greatly in-
creased interest in stock shows, and
at the National Western Stock Show
IN Denver in January. there will be
stronger exhibits in all lines Of
breeding stock than ever before.
Quite . number of Western men are
getting into the breeding business,
(both horses and cattle) realixing
that from now on America must
breed for Its own uses and also event.
ually be prepared to supply an
European demand. From now on the
stock shows will have an Importance
far greater than they have ever had
before.

Free individual service is given to
all those attending the institute. The
invitation is extended to bring your
cars to Mr.. Davis and let him look
them over if they are not running
right. 1t takes only a few minutes
to locate the trouble and results in a
saving of expense and time and wear
on your motor. More than half the
time the trouble is caused by some
small defect or improper adjustment
which can be easily remedied. There
is a vast difference between running
a car so it hits on four cylinders and
running it right. Mr.. Davis does not
make repairs except in the way OF
small adjustments, but in those cases
where extended repairs are needed he
will diagnose the trouble and explain
how it can be corrected.

anyway, if the mail order houses are
getting away trade that ought to stay
at home, it is because they re better
advertisers.
Their ads contain little cuts of ar

advertisers think all they need to do
is to put in the name of their COM
