anxious to secure full course OF
high-class entertainment, cOnse-

enough to secure B0humir kryl,

and his accomplished daughters as a
starter, so that we may know your
wishes In this matter.
The price of $l.OO for adults and 80

cessive demands of the entertainer,
but in the future we hope to have at
fractions to which we can charge
much less. Come and encourage this

Our Scotch Americans

Scotch! A reader writes from Sierra

the fact that Governor Mcdonald OF
New Mexico, in telegram to the
Order Of Scottish Clans, compliment

that ''in these strenuous days when
we hear so much about the Father
land, we hear nothing Of Scotch
Americans. The Scotchman Ia a
'cotchman always, proud of his
history as such, and the glory Of
Scotland and its clans, and at the

The Great War And Horses

The Pueblo Chieftain of late date
says:
An effect of the present war in
Europe that is being given little or
no thought is the depicting of the
stock of farm horses. according to II.
r. Haden, a buyer, who is n Pueblo.
The supply of horses is diminishing
rapidly. The prices in this country
are mounting accordingly, horse
dealers here declare.
Unless the war stops very soon the
farmer will find it next to impossible
to buy the proper kind of work
horses" said Haden. blinded by
the high prices paid by the warning
nations many farmers have sold their
best stock and now they will soon
find themselves unable to replenish
their supply.
1T is difficult to find out just what
prices are being paid by the purchas-
ers for European armies, because the
work is being carried on with such
secrecy. According to the dealer
quoted the present prices in the
country are said to be from 1928 to
4ls5 head for the same class of ami
mails that could be bought for from
465 to *l25 when the heavy buying
began a year ago.
I'm eleven months ending May 81,
the latest date for which official gov
ernment reports have been made, ex-
ports for horses and mules were
SD2, 129 head, valued at 81 million dol
lars compared with exports OF only
rs, ,O79 head in the corresponding
period in the preceding year. The
shipments have continued large dur
Ing the last three months.
"rhe supply Of good work horses is
being reduced as never before the
dealer said, land when domestic
trade, principally in the southern
states, begins the full effect of the
enormous foreign sales will be felt.
Domestic trade in horses has been
smaller in the past year than for n
long time, owing to the low price of
cotton and the discouragementin in the
south over the marketing of the crop.
The south has been selling instead of
buying which has made it easier for
contractors to get horses for the
foreign governments. A revived de-
mand from the south is expected
soon.
"rhere are still some things In
which the horse snrpasses the auto

Protection Fallaciousness

New York and some other finan-
ciers, who have by heredity and GUS
tom long been high protectionists, are
squirming about like bunch of
earth worms In the bait can. Why
this uneasiness? Our gold reserve is
getting top heavy; our trade balance
is entiraly too lopsided.
Inconoclasm, pure and simple!
Haven't we been taught, from the
cradle, by the uncOmpromising
stand-patters that the salvation of
the nation lay in q tremendous trade
balance, the more tremendous the
more salvation? Haven't we had it
dinned into our ears ever since the
Revolutionary war that America
should, indeed must, II 1t would ever
become truly great, build around it
II Chinese wall against foreign i'm
portations?
Haven't our puerile arguments that
real national prosperity depended
upon a more or less even trade bal
ance with other countries, been
scoffed at and jeered as the vaporings
of an immature mind?
And now, as we were almost per-
suaded; on the point of embracing
the idol of high protection as our
own little fetish, the keepers Of the
temple knock the props right out
from under it. Oh, War! What hast
thou done to our gods?- Denver Ex-

Christmas for Poor Children.

The Elks of FL PasO are going to carry out their
usual Christmas custom this year and fill the stockings
of as many worthy poor children they can find.
1t is an annual custom with the antered herd that
is worth encouraging.
Already the arrangements have been set under way
by appointment of committees look into the needs
of the boys and girls of the city whose parents
unable to provide them with the things that make boys
and girls happy. Their efforts not confined to
any class OF creed of people, except that they must be

who is deserving and every American family in need

If you know of any that deserving, send their

The big hearted Elks don't to hear of any boy
girl in FL Paso getting out of bed Christmas morn
ing and finding something to make his her little

Il you don't know of any boys girls or families
who need help, you might send check to help make
happy those who do need it The Elks have not
asked for any outside helpthey debut the Eks
can use all they can get. The Herald knows that.
This work of the Elks differs from most Of the
other charities of the city While much of the money
raised for this Christmas fund goes to buy baskets Of
