A great many dancers come to grief in
attempting to execute the Grapevine
figure in the One-step. I have seen a
.urioHs mingling of masculine and fem
nine feet, due solely to failure to gain
1 thorough mastery of the rudiments
Of the figure; but never do 1 recall
iificulty on the part Of any one with the
Iteps when they prepared themselves as
hey should.
Men and women who imagine that be-
.ause of its name the Grapevine de-
nands a Hopping of feet and legs,
ihould be speedily enlightened. In point
" fact, this figure calls for the smoothest
knee and ankle motion that can be
utilized; a degree of restraint which
many persons, unfamiliar with our new
ballroom dances, could scarcely believe
you'd be identified with the much prac-
iced One-step.
One of the first principles TO be OBJ
,erved in preparing to dance the Grape

substances calling for dizziness. and woe

HOW THEY ARE "BENEFITED." !"

The announcement that cargo of
1000 tons of Argentine corn is now
on its way to the Pacific coast
prompts the Oregon Farmer to re-
mark:
The farmer was told that free
trade would benefit him. He was told
that nobody would ship in the articles
he raises. Yet here comes the van
guard.
Argentine corn in great quantities
is engaged for delivery at Atlantic
coast ports, and is displacing western
corn as far west as Buffalo and at all
New England points. Somebody is
shipping in the articles that the Am
erlcan farmer raises. Food articles
are coming in at an unpreceden.e1
rate from al parts of the world. The
American market no longer belong,
to the farmer. The free traders have
given it over to foreign farmers. That
is how free trade is "benefiting" Am
erican farmers.

Room It's armies swept the rotten
Third Empire out of existence. France
was unprepared for war, it's govern
ment corrupt and Inefficient, its mill
tasy forces permsated with graft and
intoxicated with overconfdence.
That most humiliating of all de-
feats taught France bitter lesson.
Military authorities everywhere agres
that its army is now a vastly better
fighting unit than it was in 1870.
Current dispatches say that there is
now none Of the spirit of bombast
and excessive enthusiasm, either
among the people or the army, which
SO deluded the Frenchmen of the last
generation. They know that they face
= crisis no less serious than the last
one, but they are facing 1t with more
intelligence and grimmer determi-
nation.
1t is true that Germany has also
grown in strength since 1870. Its
army is conceded to be the most ef-
ficient military force in the world
But it is well to remember that the
German officers and men who beat
/ the French in 1870 were trained vet
Grams; they had beaten the Austrlans
in 1866, the Danes in 1860, and they
had seen service in the revolution

German army of today there is moi
an officer or an enlisted man who mas
ever smelled smoke except in sham
battles, for Germany has been al
peace with the world fer forty-four
years.
No small share of the credit for
this last fact has been given to the
present kaiser. Throughout the twen-
ty-six years of his reign he has brag'
ged and clustered, but at least his
country has refrained from war. In
later wears even his severe crltlcs
have come to think better OF him and
to regard him as essentially man
of peace. But his attitude in the
present crisis wholly upsets these con-
clusions. He could have had peace

THE ASSEMBLY NOMINATIONS.

Both political parties, Republican
and Democrat, have placed before the
voters Of La Plata county the men
they think entitled to and worthy of
their suffrage. In few cases there
sas considerable maneuvering on the
part of some of the candidates who
desired the advantage Of assembly en-
dorsement, but in others there was no
rivalry.
The Republicans, as a whole, placed
strong men on the ticket. OF course,
it is hardly to be expected that any
convention would be able to select 10
to 25 men for office mo would be
satisfactory to every one, and, there
fore, it is not queer that The Herald
will be found luke-warm regarding all
named. We could name some who
should and we believe will be elected,
others who are not entitled to Repub-
lican support and will not be elected.
What is said of the Republicans
can be equally said of the Democrat
ic nominees. 1t remains for the vot-
ers to decide whom they consider best
fitted and most worthy at the primary
election for final consideration at the
polls in November. With possibly three
or four exceptions The Herald will
leave the matter of primary selection
entirely to the Judgment of the vot-
ers, although those desiring space to
make themselves known to the gen.
eral public and their qualifications for
the positions they seek, will be able
to obtain same upon application.

THE REASON WHY.

Under this caption the Minneapolis
Messenger makes the following OBJ
servations, which can be applied to
the people of any community:
This man studied his mail order
catalogues industriously, always look
ing for new bargain. He ordered a
large part of his necessities from
the big mail order houses. He be-
lieved in this method because the big
catalogues said that their goods were
cheapest and best. One day he did
an unaccustomed thing; he glanced
over an advertisement in the local pa
per of special prices by store in his
own town. There he saw that his
home merchant was selling goods
cheaper than the big mail order
houses. But he had not known and
for that reason had been losing
money by buying his products out of
town.
And why? Because he paid no at
tention TO the bargains being offered
every week by his home merchants.
He did not know about them because
he never read the advertisements in
his local paper. He did not know
that the home merchants are, week
after week, offering better goods at
better prices than can be bought
away from home.
And he saw the moral. Now he
reads the advertisements of the local
merchants in the home paper, he
spends his money in his own COM
munity where it increases the wealth,
prosperity and happiness of home
community.
You cannot afford to miss reading
the ads every week. They will save
your dollars.

The Democratic party not only re-
fused to indorse Governor Ammons
but he was actually hissed in its con-

adopting no resolutions whatever in
its assembly; and it crowned its ad-
herence to the forces of disorder by
nominating Thomas M. Patterson for
governor, man whose whole career
in Colorado has been one long record
of political, factional and business
strife. The attitude of the party and
of its nominee are consistent. They
go hand in hand for disorder and re-

our state government rests.
