TAINTED POLITICS

There is more blue sky in cam

running for once than was ever con-
tanned in the prospecruses Of the bold

hates hidden in the phrase Be il en-

der any and all other disguises.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress IN
this nation than the greed for gold,
and II ought 10 be regulated by Law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as Tele1uessly or
visited more heaTtless cruelty upon
their customers than Z political party
that seeks 10 make junk Of an in

success. through tariff measures, po-
Etical supervision and otttines de-

platforms are as alluring 10 the voter
as the story Of the rainbow with its
pot Of gold and their consummation
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics There are many
men in Office today who, If they
could not shake plums of the tree OF

PAGES ADVICE ON
HOME CANNERIES
Every Farmer Is Urged To
Invest In Fruit And Nege-
table Gamer.

The general val outlook IN EUROPE
indicates q gloomy prospect for the
cotton market this fall In fact the
price Of cotton for future delivery
has been declining for the past thirty
days
This impresses the importance OF
The farmers in this State and the
South preparing to meet the hard
times that may continue through the
next season. by taking advantage Of
every opportunity available, The
means Of doing this is to provide
yourself with small homecoming
outfit. 10 can fruits and vegetables
for table use during the winter and
early spring months.
Until recent years it was thought
that the main secret in preserving
fruits and vegetables by the canning
process, was in keeping the cans
air tight. Formerly il was thought
the oxygen in the air spoiled the
fruit and vegetables. Later discover
les proved that bacteria and minute
organisms not visible to the naked
eye caused them to spoil or ferment,
and that to sterilize or heat is
necessary.
The modern canning outfits for
farm use are made to meet the
scientific requirements in simple
way. and can be operated by any
housewife, or perhaps the children.
There are number Of different
kinds on the market, and they are
all good. The outfits are complete,
and are accompanied with full in.
structions for canning all kinds Of
fruits and vegetables, and besides
the manufacturers will often send a
man to show you how to operate
them. The dealers will furnish the
cans, with solder on them, and also
attractive labels if you want them,
so your canned goods will look as
attractive and be as good as any
sold in the stores. The canning
outfits sell as low as $3.50 and up
to SIS. $50 and higher. With a S25
outfit you can put up from 500 to
800 cans a day with the labor Of
2 to 4 people. Some of the manu-.
facturers sell their outfits for part
cash and the balance on time. It
would be an easy matter to buy a
$25 outfit and pay for it out Of the
profits on tomatoes, beans, sweet
potatoes and pumpkins, that can
yet be grown in time for canning
this season.

perhaps if the child had not been al
lowed to run across the room with
the doll in her arms, she would not
have fallen breaking the dolls eyes
and having her own eyes cut by the
broken bits Of glass. Many of these
preventable accidents can be avoided
by using a little care and ordinary
common sense. Not alone in the
care Of infants, but with adults en-
gagged in ordinary household en-
ployments as we'll little extra pre-
caution will often prevent serious re-
suits from apparently trivial acci-
dents. For example, eyes have been
ireparably damaged by flying bits Of
glass from a broken tumbler; by a
tack flying into the eye, in laying a
carpet; from small bit of lime fall
ing from a broken ceiling; from
stopping in a dark room and striking
the eye on the sharp corner of table
or chair. In fact, the possibilities
of accidents of this sort are innumer-
able, where little less haste perhaps
or little extra care, would prevent
them.

A RURAL CREDITS LAW.

Newspapers in the Southwest and
in the Western section OF the country
generally. are freely discussing the
prospect of rural credits legislation,
at the next session of congress draws
near. Congressman Henry OF Texas,
who has heretofore championed a
$500, 100000 bond issue for the re-
lief of cotton planters, is making a
demand for rural credits law, the
chief plank in the platform on which
he is canvassing his state as candi-
date for the United States Senate. 1t
was Mr.. Henry who introduced the
first Of the rural credit bills in the
House, very soon after the convening
of the special session of Congress
April IS, 1913.
Tile fight for rural credits to be
made by congressman representing
the cotton states will depend, to a
considerable extent, upon the condi-
tion Of the cotton trade at the time
Congress meets. Should conditions
then be normal, or near normal, their
fight for rural credits Will be much
more aggressive than one for some
special legislation for the relief Of
cotton planters. Should the cotton
situation be desperate, however, the
fight will be made for special cotton
legislation to afford quick relief, and
that for rural credits law, apply
ing to the entire country. will not be
so earnestly pressed. The outlook
for rural credits legislation is not,
accordingly, either dark or bright.
There is hope OF normal cotton sit
uation during the winter, but this is
not an assurance. Any aggressive
support OF such legislation may have
to come out of the West and North
west, if the Democratic House ma
jority. which comes mainly out of
the South. is in a complacent mood
because the chief staple Of its section
is moving freely at good prices.

ment was that it should meet as often
during the vacation as might be nee
essary fer gathering all needed data
bearing upon the problea and pre-

inactivity may or may not indicate
that the administration is not favor
able to the rural credits law. Mr..
Glass of Virginia, member OF the
committee, and often an administra-
ton mouthpiece, asserts that the new
banking system makes a rural cred
its law unnecessary. The president
denied this in one of his messages to
Congress. But Mr. Wilson has often
shown his ability to change 'front.'

Relic of Prehistoric Days.

Messrs. Finalyson and Roddick,
who operate the Quartz Gulch placers
east of town, at the foot of Canyon
mountain, brought into town the 9TH
er day very interesting relic. 1t is
petrified ivory tusk The tusk is in
two pieces, one piece about II inches
long and the other about is inches.
The two pieces do not fit together,
but evidently belong to one tusk, the
middle part having been broken from
the other parts and as yet not located.
One Of these pieces was found year
or two ago embedded in the ground
at a considerable distance below the
surface. 1t was. washed out while
piping for gold. The other piece was
found near by this season. The mid
die piece likely remains in the
ground. Whether this tusk belong
ed to a mastodon or an elephant Is
not known, but it is evident that some
monarch of the forest roamed over
Canyon mountain ages past, leaving
this relic as mute evidence of his ex-
istence.- Canyon City Eagle.

LET Us REAP THE BENEFIT.

The artesian water developed by
the NewIeus in Morrow county, was
not an accident as many such dis
coyeries are. but was the result of
persistent effort Of three years of
hard work in the sinking OF many
wells to determine the true geologi-
cal formation Of this section Of the
country. Their success in producing
this valuable well has been phenom-
enal insofar as they have had to over
come what would be to many, insur-
mountable obstacles.
There is just one other thing that
the Newlons are as much interested
in as in getting water for the wonder
fully rich section known at "the Ba-
mana Belt" and that is, that the peo-
pie of Morrow county should reap the
benefits as far as possible from this
discovery.
Mr.. Newton learned only last Sun
day that there was a company form
ing to take over large tracts Of this
land. This company will OF course be
made up of spectators, and this is
what the Newlons are trying to keep
out, and as they are In a position to
get the choicest of this land for the
bonifde settler or developer at ap-
proximately $3.50 per acre, on very
easy terms, those interested will not
miss it by making an early selection
for their future homes in the Banana
Belt of Morrow county.

NORTHWEST CLAIMS GRAHAM

I. D. Graham has resigned as as
sistant chief of the livestock depart
ment OF the Panama-Pacifc Interna-
tional Exposition to become editor OF
the Rural Spirit, at Portland, Ore.
Mr.. Graham is a welcome addition to
the ranks of those who are working
for better farming conditions in the
Pacific Northwest. He was for nine
teen wears a professor in the Kansas
Agricultural College and for several
years was editor of the Kansas Far
mer. He was the organizer Of the
Kansas Pure Bred Livestock Associa-
ton and was one of the strong men
in getting legislation fayoramle to
the farmers.
Mr.. Graham is we'll known to local
readers of the livestock journals of
national circulation, he being a reg
ular contributor to several of them.
He Is enthusiastic concerning the
possibilities of livestock in the Pa
clfic Northwest, and prOn0unceS the
exhibits that he has inspected at the
state fairs of Washington and Oregon
as the equal of the best they grow in
the corn belt states, where much OF
the foundation focks and herds in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho have
been purchased. Mr.. Graham has a
national reputation as an authority
along livestock lines and in his ripe
experience as an educator the farm
ers of the Northwest have gained a
splendid co-worker.
