the rangers are posting the roads
with permanent guide signs which
tell distances and directions, espe-
cially at forks and crossroads. The
signs are usually put up in the win

go on snowshoes, dragging loaded
sleds and rail the signboards to the

NEIGHBORLINESS.

When the police broke open the

of the girl who had ended it all: 81

care about me-" This was miles
from Durango in city of hundreds
of thousands. Yet lonliness had
broken this girls heart and courage
and she went out, Probably she had
come from small village where
irlenship wasn't measured by dollars
and wind words by affluence. None
mad cared about her ambitions in the
city.
We are SO busy with our individual
affairs that frequently we neglect to
give the cheering word which means
SO much to those trying to forge
ahead. Encouragement may be given
IN so many ways with truly won
derful results that We who neglect it
should be ashamed. If you ask a man
"how's business" as though you
didn't give a snap of your fingers
how his was as long as yours was all
right, the inquiry doesn't mean much.
When true personal interest is shown
the good work begins.

SUMMER SONGS AGAIN.

Summer music this year will not
be strikingly different from that which
makes every summer resort unfit for
meditation. Popular music is synco-
pated music with emprasis on faulty
grammer and questionable subject
For several season it has reflected
the plot of the best sellers-martial
infelicity and complaints of the love-
lorn. The composition that can be
ragged and sung with chewing gum
in the mouth, and told how happy a
hen pecked husband was that his
wife left him alone to be as devlish
as he wished. was a hit.
Every season an attack has been
made on popular music the same as
on popular novels. Their evils are
pointd out to the youth of the land.
But the music houses still furnish
them and the public still purchases
them.
The dance craze in the United
States has something to do with the
class of music which has the widest
sale. Anything that has the cut time
necessary for the tango, one step,
hesitation waltz or any variety of
the modern slip alongs, is good sell
ler. The old favorites were not made
for the modern dance. The vaude-
will taste for the ricque has created
a demand for unsavory songs. The
popularity of song is determined
by its success in vaudeville.
The public is to blame is the songs
are bad. 1t has applauded the offer
ings at cheap vaudeville performances
and these smutty tests are built about
syncopated themes and have been de-
clared hits by the public and publish
ers. This variety of cheap songs will
always be popular when the public
is willing to have such entertainment.

A MATTER OF SERIOUS REGRET

Secretary Bryan had right to re-
sign and we presume that he had am
pie reason, President Wilson has evil
IDENTIFY ignored him to certain ex-
tent by assuming his duties. This has
been trying experience to Colonel
Bryan. But other presidents have
done the same thing. There were
times when Lincoln took "the bit in
his teets" and made his own de-
cisions. In later years we remember
that Colonel Roosevelt was an auto
crat..
These are incidents arising from our
form Of government. They must be
endured by the men who are chosen
to cabinet positions.
But there is one phase of the ques-
tion which Colonel Bryan should have
considered We refer to the effect of
his resignation on foreign countries.
Our American people are slow to
Semi-weekly herald., 1915-06-28

growth of war. By this we do not
mean munitions, but agricultural
products, clothing, medical supplies
implements, leather goods and the
hundred and one things which citizens
must have when the men are at war
and many industries are closed.
As a result, companies formerly
engaged in making goods for which
the demand has fallen off are chang
ing to what is generally classed as
war goods. Those who do not change
have found an increased home market.
The luxury buying public is awaken
ing to the fact that "made in Ameri-
ca" products are just as good. This
is particularly fortunate for Ameri-
cans turning out articles of enjoy
ment, adornment and certain articles
of dress which there is little or no
market abroad.
What is even more important, the
new European market is not going to
cease after the war is over. There will
be a demand for food and clothing
and the simple necessities of life for
some time ater peace has been de-
clared.
In recent letter issued by Homer
A. Miller, president of the Iowa Ma
tional bank, attention was called to
the fact that war orders estimated at
one billion dollars are waiting to be
filled. How quickly American indus
tires are rising to the emergency may
be gained from the recent report of
cur export trade. For the nine months
ending March 81 the value of ex-
ports to Europe increased s163,000,.
900, or 10 per cent, over the same
period the year previous. However
if the exports for the month of March
are taken separately we find gair
Of S114,000,O00 or 81 per cent more
than the same month last year.
What is considered in some quart.
ers as business depression is only Q
turn in the road With the founda.
tion for South American commerce
about TO be laid, with China beg.
gng for improved trade relations
and with all Europe increasing its
orders by leaps and bounds it is only
a question of time until the wonder
full recourses of this nation can adapt
themselves to the new conditions ant
thereby assume a supremacy in the
world of commerce that will be far
beyond the fondest imaginations.-

WHITE SOCKS.

Fashions come so easily that we
scarcely stop to discover how or why.
White socks are now the fashion for
men. The people Of the southern
states, several months ago, commenc-
ed wearing white cotton. This is all
innocent enough and general notion
has been that those who set the fash
ions have been busy doing this thing.
But the truth is that the American
manufacturers have never learned to
make dyes that would stay put. Such
dyes have always been imported from
Germany. AT the present time Ger
many is not making dyes but is en-
gagged in filling up graves and using
quick lime on the dead. Germany,
being busy with such matters, the
helpless manufacturers of America
are making white socks for men. Cen
tlemen sit around the club, display
ankles in their white socks, not know
ing that they are proclaiming one
of the weaknesses of this great re-
public. 1t is pity that this great,
rich country has not attended to de-
tails, has not looked after small
things. This country affords every
known material for the manufacture
of dyes. Yet we have been importing
ing them. Germany has been able to
make them cheaper. There being no
tariff, Germany has held the market.
Germany has furnished Great Britian
with her dyes and an effort to orga-
nize great company for the manu-
facture of dyes in Great Britain has
failed. When men were asked to buy
stock, they replied that the British
demand for British dyes was only tenn
porary and that after the war Ger
many would make them cheaper and
better than the same could be made
in Great Britain.
These lessons ought to sink into
the hearts of the American people.
This country should not be depend
|ent upon Europe for anything, not
even music teacher. When the next
European war breaks out we should
be able to laugh at the warning coun-
tries.

THE FLAG.

1t was on June IA, 1777, that the
American congress decreed that the
flag of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen stars
white in blue field, representing a
new constellation.
From that time down through the
years the stripes and stars increased
as new states were admitted to the
federal union, until April 4, 1918, when
congress changed the law and provided
that there should be only thirteen
stripes, but that the number Of stars
should be increased with the addition
Of each new state.
Many beautiful things have been
spoken and written of the American
flag, but few of them surpass the hap
py sentiments expressed by President
Wilson at the naval review in New
York few days ago. AS he looked
upon the imposing pageantry Of the
sea and noted the stars and stripes
floating above them, he said:
"When l think of the flag that
those ships carry, the only touch Of
color about them, the only thing in
their solid structures that moves as
if it had settled spirit in it, 1t seems
to me that l see alternate stripes of
parchment on which are written the
rights of liberty and justice and
stripes of blood spilled to vindicate
those rights, and then, in the corner,
a prediction of the blue serene into
which every nation may swim that
stands for these things"
If the people were ever apprevia-
tive of the real meaning of the Ameri-
can flag, it ought to be now, floating
as it does under peaceful sky.

THE CHERRY PIE GIRLS.

An eastern newsagency featured
the fact that a New York society
girl was able to make a cherry pie
and called attention to the good find
that her fiance probably had made.
All of which was worthy of comment
and very apropos for June but why
should it be unusual
She was referred to as young wo-
man who had been reared by old
fashioned methods and had been
taughts these old fashioned habits.
That may be very well with Bar
Harbor folks and in accord with the
Atlantic City ideals but such traits
in Colorado are not considered old
fashioned.
If prowess at sculpturing a beau
tiful pie crust from dough then in
laying it with mixture that when
baked and given the honor place on
the table recalls your ambitious boy
hood, is so unusual, Colorado is more
than an unusual state. Making pie
has always been fashionable in Du-
range. The girls not only are able to
make pie but actually make bread.
Another bit of old fashioned train
ing by the eastern standard but right
up and coming in the west is their
ability to keep house.

suggestions resulted in the canvass Of
the city, better hours for the working
girls, better streets and flood of
friendship such as had never been
seen before.
Your block could be made over if
the silly fuses were made up and
more backyard calls were frequent.

REAL PROSPERITY.

1t is hard for a man whose partic-
ular line of business has not been
benefited by the war to appreciate
the great wave of prosperity talk
which is spreading over the country.
Financial and industrial journals are
emphazing the wonderful increase in
exports and the decrease in imports
since the war began as an indication
of good times and they are quite
correct in their conclusions, although
the decision must be based upon con-
ditions as a whole and not upon GER
tain industries.
1t should be borne in mind that
American industries are undergoing a
slow but steady change, the ultimate
result of which should be to give this
country an era of prosperity such as
it has never known.
There will be a few who must of
necessity suffer until the transfer
nation has been affected. For in
stance, there is little or no demand
from abroad for the products Of
America which are being used for the
purpose of upbuilding industries. The
same applies to the principal manufac-
tured articles of enjoyment and those
which may be classed as luxuries.
On the other hand, there is an un-
market for those indus
trial products which arc the out

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The foreign dried egg industry is
one the growth Of which will be watch
ed by the farmers of this country
with some anxiety for the future, un-
less some steps are taken to meet the
situation.
Witnesses before the ways and
menas committee in 1910 stated that
eggs contain about 73 per cent of
water and 27 per cent solid matter.
1t requires three dozen eggs to make
a pound of dried product, which is
made by breaking the eggs into pat
ented evaporating pans, slow heat ap-
piled, and the resultant dessicated mat
ter placed in containers, sealed, and
kept at refrigeration temperatures. A
large portion of this product was man.
ufactured in Topeka, Kansas, from
eggs produced from western farm
ers.
These witnesses asked for q duty
of Is cents a pound on dried eggs,
intimating that unless such duty
was provided the Chinese would soon
begin to take advantage of the situa-
ton and get into our markets. The
duty requested was granted. But the
Underwood law cut this duty to ten
cents pound. That this was too low,
is apparent from the statement ofU.
S. Commercial Agent +. G. Babbitt
San Francisco, California, who says:
Several Of the largest bakers sup
ply houses in the United States con-
template erecting factories and drying
plants in China to manufacture dried
eggs. One plant has already been es-
tablished near Hankow and another
is to be erected at Shanghai with
branch at Tientsin. 1t is planned to
market the produce in one-ponnd tins
and several grades will be market
ed"
e True, II Is the Americans and not
the Chinese who arc entering the busi-
ness, but the eggs will be bought from
China, and not from western farmers,
a. formerly, and the dried product
will come into competition with the
srfs produced in this country. A tru-
II proteetiye duty would stop this
1r Y thing.

SENATOR ROOTS PRAYER.

Senator Elihu Root is known
throughout the nation as great
statesman, profound constitutional
lawyer and n man whose spoken OF
written works are always worthy Of
consideration.
1t is question, hoover, whether
any utterances of his in several years
have attracted quite as much atten.
tion as the proyer which he Offered
the other day at the opening of one
of the sessions of the New York con.
stitutional convention.
The clergyman who had been as
signed to the task of presenting the
convention to the Throne of Divine
Grace, failing to arrive, Senator Root
as chairman, sounded the gavel, step
ped to the front of the platform, and
before the hushed assemblage offered
the ollowing:
Almighty God we pray thee to
guide our deliberations this day. Make
us humble, sincere, devoted to the pub
lie service. Make us wise, consid-
crate of the feelings and opinions of
others. Make us effective and useful
for the advancement Of thy cause Of
peace and justice and liberty in this
world. Amen"
So far as we know Mr.. Root may
be no more of church member than
was Abraham Lincoln. By his willing
ness, however, to assume this respon-
he gave mankind another evil
ience that as people we recognize
that it is righteousness which exalts
a nation, and whil4 permitting no
eagalized union Of church and state,
We allow no stress and storm Of COM
industrial or political life to
obscure the vision to the
act that we believe a Divine Hand
las something to do in shaping in
lividual and national destiny.

President Wilson's note to Ger
Germany was so mild that readers will
wonder what Secreary Bryan could
discover to find fault with. We are
not prepared to say that the note
ought to be more vigorous, but we
say that it was mild to what was ex-
pected after Secretary Bryan's spec
tacular resignation. We were dispos-
to deal generously with the secretary
but since the policy of the admins
tration has been disclosed, we feel that
Colonel Bryan has no cause whatever
certainly none of a public nature to
desert the administration.
