FREE SUGAR REPEAL
Federal Shortage May Force Congress
to Take Action Sought

Washington, July 20.-Inquiries at
the White house as to the possibility
of executive recommendation that the
free sugar clause in the Underwood
traffic schedule be repealed continue
to call forth determined statements
that no thought Of such a procedure
is being entertained
Those interested in sugar who are
keeping touch with affairs here have
given up any hope Of such recommen-
dation coming from the president or
from the secretary Of the treasury.
Hope is entertained, however, that
conditions will force congress to re-
peal the free sugar clause.
There has been some improvement
lin the condition Of the national treas
Jury during the last few weeks, but the
outlook is anything but reassuring.
The new fiscal year is about to open.
The treasury faces a deficit Of $272,-
100000 1t will take more than the
sugar revenue to meet it, but it
would help decidedly in reducing the
amount that will have to be realized
by some other means.
The treasury will enter first year
with a deficit Of Ss2 100000 To this
is to be added the 100000 now be
ing produced by sugar. A postal def
icit Of SIS 100000 must be added. The
Panama canal will require S2O.OOO,-
900 more. The country will demand
additional military appropriations Of
no less than S5O,OO0,OOO. The last
item is likely to be very much higher
The war tax will stop by limitation.
making another 49,5OO,OOO that must
be found.
The condition Of the Golfers in the
national treasury is quite in contrast
with those of the national banks Of
the country. The statements Of the
national banks on May /, showed that
they hold s6,66l 100000 in deposits
National banks represent about one
half Of the banking facilities Of the
country. Twice the amount Of the
national bank deposits doubtless ex-
lists.

But here's introducing some of the
men from various counties who will
collect displays for the state fair this
year. Every one of them is a man who
is willing to give a lot to help his com
munity, even though he gets nothing
in return. X. S. Shahan Of Alamosa

they are right near the top of the pro-
fession. This was the first time that
a Glass A team has ever played in
this section and of course it had to
be Lamar TO start the ball rolling. In
all probability the enthusiasm and
support displayed here will make these
games frequent in the future.
The St. Joe boys arrived on No. IL
and were a fine looking husky bunch
of young men. They INDUCED in
about an hours practice, both batting
and fielding, at the park, which was
greatly enjoyed by the gathering
crowd. Vance and Wideman, the two
big stars of their pitching staff, warm
ed up on the side line and all of the
fans got an opportunity to see them
work out, although Of course they
were not allowed to pitch in the game.
Nicholson and Daily, two of their
regulars however, did the box work.
For Lamar Littler and Renell did
the pitching and Love the back stop
ping. Both the pitchers did good
work. Littler pitched five innings
allowing hits and runs and Renell
allowing the same in four innings.
Wycoff at second, Byers at short,
and Regan, center field, were Fort
Lyon players, and the rest of the team
excepting Renell were the regular La
mar team.
=. The game opened with St. Joe at
the bat and hit, stolen base and an
error put one run over and a runner
on first with only one out. The crowd
began to think it was to be a slaugh-
ter, but when the next batter hit the
ball Hines, Wycoff and link pulled off
one of the fastest double plays ever
seen here and retired st. Joe. Hines,
the first Lamar batter up, got a hit
and although no run was scored until
the fifth the crowd felt easier and
knew our boys were not so badly out
classed as most people thought From
then on it was fast and exciting ex-
hibition of the national game. Wyeoff
and link pulled another double play
later and st. Joe made one so the
game was marked by fast fielding.
Lamar's two errors were not costly
but the one by st. Joe's left fielder in
dropping an easy fly, which he thought
he had safe, let in Lamar's first run.
Evans and Sharkey each played a fine
game in the field and batted well. The
batting honors for Lamar belonged to
Hines who made two Of the home
teams six hits. The game was full
of real fine ball playing from start to
finish and all the crowd were well
satisfied they had their moneys worth.
The gate receipts paid all expenses
and left fair surplus.
The box score was as follows:

Ever Bearing Mulberries

An expert orchardist up the river
from St. Louis has developed a var
iety Of mulberry tree that will bear
all summer long" it is announced, but
this need not alarm city people whose
ornamental mulberry trees bear with
an exceeding fruitfulness that nearly
drives their owners to distraction.
A mulberry that won't bear is the
desirable sort. After it has strewed
its purple and empurpling fruit on
the lawn and on the sidewalk for four
or five weeks, inviting the flies from
all the region roundabout, one may
wish that its fructiferous efforts
might cease. Nor do all mulberry
trees seem to bring forth their fruit
at once. They work in shifts. When
one mulberry tree isn't busy another
is; and they proceed with that wild
abandon that some people show in
producing vast quantities of things
that nobody wants.
For city mulberry tastes very much
like a blackberry that has been soaked
in rainwater for twenty-four hours.
We never could understand why the
birds which have such good taste and
Judgment on cherries should appear to
be equally fond of mulberries.

millions and this" says the Adver-
ization in the interest of economy,
which has gone on for several months
in the postal system of the country.
The shake-up in the service was done
for no other reason, we were told at
the time, than to run the department
during the year just ended, and If the
receipts were only 100000 less than
the year before, how is it that to the
war is directly attributable the deficit
which is now confronted by the de-
partment."
The president of the New England
Shoe and Leather Association asserted
recently that the domestic shoe trade
of this country was not more than
fifty per cent of normal. The people,
he said, are economizing and the re-
pair trade has shown an enormous in
crease. In other words, people can
not afford to buy new shoes and they
have their old ones cobbled up to last
longer This looks to us like a fun
damental demonstration that hard
times are by no means over, despite
war orders" which concentrate large
sums Of foreign money in few To-
calities where war material may be
manufactured. The truth is that bus
mess is bad in this country and that
it will not become permanently and
generally better so long as the present
low tariff is in operation.
When the newspapermen called on
Edison and Daniels and asked the
former what he thought about the lat
ter's proposed advistory board, Edi-
son said, Its his idea Let him talk"
The main problem, however. in this
and all other naval matters, is to get
Josephus to working instead Of talk
ing.
Mr.. Bryan, announcing his return to
the lecture platform-was he really
away from it, by the way-takes oc-
casion to remark that while he was
in public office the republicans had to
contribute to his salary, whether they
liked to or not. Bless the mani Doesn't
he know that we republicans got our
moneys worth out of him every min
ute he was in the state department
Henry Ford's campaign against
eating too much" is interesting, but
belated. The democratic congress beat
him to it by about two years through
the enactment Of u low tariff.
On the same ballot which the Unit
ed States Chamber Of Commerce used
in recording its opposition, by $50 to
80 votes, TO the administration ship
purchase scheme, was printed this
question: do you favor subventions
from the government to establish reg
ular mail and freight lines under the
American flag TO countries in which
the commercial interests of the Unit
ed States are important, and 10 Amer
lean dependencies ?" On this question
the member-bodies Of the Chamber
voted: Yes, 7l3, no 52 If the ear of
the administration is keenly attuned
to the wishes Of the country, there
will be no faltering on the merchant
marine question. Republicans in con-
gress, we feel sure, will put tho ques-
ton squarely up to their democratic
colleagues.

State Fair

The thousands Of interested spec
tators who visit the state fair at Pu-
ublo. Sept. 10 to Is will wonder per
haps who selects, assemblies and ar
ranges the magnificent displays from
all over the state. To get up a state
fair display a man must be able to
Judge fruit, live stock and garden pro-
ducts, and his judgment must be un-
erring. He must know the locality in
which he is to collect the display and
he must be a thorough and brilliant
diplomat in order to retain his friends
in the community after he has rejected
many offerings and selected for the
fair. those which seem to his judgment
most fitted to represent creditably the
district which sends them. After his
work is done and his county has won
the prize, he must be ready to pass
the credit and the prizes to the grow
ers.
The keen mind and splendid judg
ment that assembled the display gains
no fame, receives no reward. The win
ners' names and their crops or stock
become famous, but the patient col
lector stays in the background until

A DEMOCRATIC OPINION
What the Senator from Mississippi
Thinks of His Own Party

Washington, d. c., July 27.-That
the democratic party is incompetent
is the statement made by Senator
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi in
an address to the United States SEN
ate.
"The poor, dear, old foolish demo-
cratic party is going through the same
game that she can generally be
trusted to go through" said Senator
Williams to his democratoc colleagues.
."You cannot govern the county. You
are incompetent"
Some measure of that incompetency
has been referred to hitherto in stories
pointing out specific errors in the tar
.iff bill due to inexcusabe bundering
Mistakes in other laws have been dis
cussed in more recent articles. A brief
resume of these mistakes is given
herewith, to be followed later by in
stances Of other faulty democratic leg
islation.
No. s. The provision enacted by
the democratic congress to build up
the American merchant marine utterly
failed to achieve its purpose, and con
ferred the proposed benefit instead up
on competing vessels of other coun-
tries, giving to foreigners the profits
from high freight rates, according to
the decision of the Court Of Customs
Appeals in the five per cent rebate
case.
No. 9. The democratic congress
blundered in enacting the law to pro-
vide greater safety and comfort at
sea for passengers and seamen by
naming two conflicting dates for the
time it should take effect
No. 10. The "war tax" law was in
accurately drawn; was not based up
on correct estimates and failed to pro-
vide the money needed; necessitated
expensive litigation; and adequate pre-
paration for its enforcement was not
made, causing great delay, annoyance
and confusion.
No. IL. The executive branch Of
the democratic administration is at
war with the legislative branch, and
has asked the Supreme court to de-
clare imperative the law allowing a
five per cent reduction in the tariff
on goods imported in American bot
toms.
No. u. The most vital error leg
islative body can make was incorpor-
ated in the "war tax law, congress
having given two conflicting dates as
to the time schedule B should begin to
operate.
No. 13. Congress invited litigation
over schedule B Of the war tax" law
by failing to clearly express the mean
ing of the provision to tax Cosmetics
and the matter is now in the courts.
No. Ii. Thousands of dollars col
lected from trust companies under
the "war tax" law may have to be
refunded because congress failed to
make clear whether or not they are
subject to the taxa question that has
been taken TO the courts for determi-
nation.

FINE GAME
St. Joe Wins Exciting Game From La
mar by Score of 6 to

Lamar was Bome baseball excited on
Tuesday, and everybody with his wife,
sister and aunt was a fan. There were
over one hundred and fifty autos out
to Association Park from Lamar and
Wiley, Bristol, Granada, Fort Lyon,
Hartman, Holly and other points. Be
sides the grand stand, bleachers were
packed and hundreds standing. In all
a close estimate of the crowd showed
about 2,200 turned out to see the game
scheduled between the st. Joseph
team Of the Western League and the
Lamar team Of the Arkansas Valley
League assisted by some of the Fort
Lyon players.
The game proved that the Arkansas
Valley league plays some classy ball
as there was just little difference in
class between our team made up from
the two teams of the league and the
visitors, who belong to a Class A
league, just a little below the major
leagues. As several of the st Joe
players have already been claimed by
the higher ups it will be seen that

A Digest of Freaks


The Literary Digest recently
published a list of the fre.k
bills which Legislators in vaIi-
Gus states had introduced at the
recent sessions with the hope
of having them enacted into
laws. The list was taken from
a Texas newspaper of standing
and influence. In the list was
the bill introduced INTO the
K ansas Legislature early in the
session by some wide eyed re-
former who wanted to prohibit
women from trying to appear
younger than they really are.
The bill paced a ban upon tire
use of face powder or rouge,
hair dye or bleach. piercing the
ears or wearing earrings. The
publicity given the freak leeis-
lator's dream caused the Wichi-
ia Eagle to remark ed;torially
to the effecs that the time had
come to squelch the freaks who
ere making a laughing stock
of the state. This sentime Mt
was re-echoed throughout the
press of Kansas and it is likely
that, in the future, very few
bills of that nature will ever
see the light of day in Topeka.
Here is the list as published
in the Literary Digest:
To prohibit the catch ng of
frogs. Minnesota.
To prohibit the use of face
powder, rouge, hair dye, or
bleach, the piercing of the ea,s
and the wearing of earrings.
Kansas.
To compel chickens to go to
roost before z p. m. To provide
that bulls driven along the
road at nie hit shall wear lights.
Prohibiting hip pockets in
mems trousers. Colorado.
Providing that all weeds and
plants which cause hay fever
shall be removed from the road
sides. Bachelors to paw an an
nual tax of SIS per head. Pro-
.hibiting the wearing of whisk-
ers by doctors and dentists.
Massachusetts.
Compelling the National
Guard to do ninety days work
each year on the roads and
bridges of the state. Requir-
ing dealers in stock foods to
pay an annual license of $25 a
year. Prohiting free lunches.
