BUSINESS IS GOOD,
SAYS HENRY CLEWS
Noted Ftnancier's Views on tho
War-America to Become
A Lending Nation.

The following is the latest let
ter from Henry Clews, whose re-
marks may be appreciated here:
"While this treat country is not to-
day enjoying the same degree of prosper
ity that it did three or four years ago, it
10 nevertheless saving money freely, be.
Cause business 10 fair in volume and econ.
omy has taken the place of extravafancs
in both businsss and private expenditures.
lhe chief source Of extravasance today
10 IN government, state and municipal en-
terprises; source of waste that calls
loudly for restraint and greater efficiency.
There is no doubt large amount of eapi-
tai seeking food investments; and with
Conscience and enterprise at home estab.
lished, our ability to take back q fair
amount Of foreign holdings in America 10
unqusstioaed.
ln oil probability American investors
will have . chance 10 buy some of the
silt.edee securities now held by rich for.
ei&n holders at prices which will Weld
considerable profit after the war when
conditions have become more normal. A
more favorable opportunity for taking
back q considerable amount of American
stocks could not be expected. Such pol
icy would strengthen this country fnan-
cially and industrially. Our foreign OBJ
litations would be diminished, and Eu-
rope would be better able to conduct the
war by withdrawing temporarily at least
portion of its invested capital in the
United States.
This does not mean that we shall no
loneer need foreign capital, or that We
have a. yet reached the point where we
will have capital to lend abroad. When
normal conditions are resumed the devel.
opment of our natural resources and Of
our city and industrial life will require
lar9e sums, much LARGER in fact than We
will be able to command at home. Al
NO distant future We may atain be seek.
.in1 torsitn capital, though not ON the same
scale a. during the last fifty years; while
ON the other hand. before another fifty
has passed we may have besome one ef
the Arst lending nations in the world. If
not the first"

cH1cAcoAN LOCATES HERE

Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Bred.
we'll, after investigating condi-
tions here for a week past, de-
cided that the Holly country
offered the best inducements for
homeseekers, and have purchas-
ed splendid tract of 32O acres
about nine miles southwest of
town. Mrs. Bredwell is a cousin
of Mrs. J. E. Kennedy, also of
the Southside.
The tract will be cultivated and
improvements on a large scale
will be made. it being their inten-
ton to branch out in the stock
raising business as soon as prac-
ticable.
Before leaving for a weeks
tour through the mountains, Mr.,
Bredwell stated that he h a d
enough of a large city and sees
many opportunities here that he
would never encounter in the
Windy City. to say nothing of
the salubrious climate the Holly
country offers.
At this rate Holly will soon
possess a colony of Chicagoans,
so score two more from the Windy
City, and more on the way.

The Troubles of the Settlers.

The government is working to de
wise ways and means by which to
settle up the west with good perma-
nent. bona fide settlers. / am inter
ested in the same thing but there is
something wrong and that something
is the lack of consistent cooperation
venture TO say that out of the thou
sands of people who have obtained
patents to their lands in Colorado in
the last ten years not more than half
of them are on their lands today and
there are good many reasons why.
The most of the people who file on
land do not do so for the fun there
is in it, but to build home for them
selves and their families where they
can be independent of the landlord,
where they can get close to the heart
OF nature, and where they can lay
their plans and fix and arrange their
homes according to their own tastes
| The homesteaders are the hravest
men that Uncle Sam has to-day, for
II takes grit, grace and greenbacks
homesteads of today lay from ten to
seventy-five miles from railroad
which makes il impractical for
homesteader to raise grain and feed
and haul IL to market. More than
this. the most of the land in the west
is semi-arid and the annual rainfall
will not justify the growing OF grain
for market.
The homesteaders' life is one of
sacrifice. They have to travel the
many times find themselves thirsty
and without water; furthermore they
have more than once been compelled
to postpone their meals until n more
convenient time. In winter they have
to make these same drives to town
in the snow and cold and they have
to 20 equipped with shovels to dig
their way through the drifts; many
times they have to lay out at night
and be exposed to the elements.

Twia sliaht on Apples.


This year, Twig Blight bacillus
amylovoru) is very prominent on the
apple trees thruout the state. This
is perhaps due to a large extent to
the peculiar spring conditions.
Twig Blight, also called Fire Blight
or Blossom Blight, is a bacterial dis
ease, and usually enters thru the
flowers or thru bruised portion OF
the stems or leaves. Trees which
have abnormal growths. such as water
sprouts, or on the other hand very
slowgrowing stems, seem to be at
tackled more readily than healthy,
normal trees.
Soon after the tree becomes infest-
ed, the tip leaves on many of the
twigs take on yellowish appearance.
These later turn to dark brown color
and shrink up. A little later the
whole spur dries up and dies. AS a
rule. many of the twigs on the trees
are infected; this gives the tree the
appearance of being fire-swept. Fruit
on infected branches, takes on a gel
lowish, shriveled appearance, and
later dries up.
The disease is transmitted by means
of germs. These may be carried by
the wind. by insects, or by the dis
eased portion coming in contact with
healthy branches.
The damage done by the disease is
Il mo afr,l. in l,a Of
fruit. In some cases branches are
killed and in extreme cases, the whole
tree is killed.
To destroy the disease, all the in
fected portions should be pruned off
as soon as possible after they ap-
pear. Each cut should be made sew
eral inches below the diseased por-
tion. After each cut the instrument
should be disinfected by dipping it

First Thought is of Pardon.

OF the federal court. This. in eN-
planation of the large correspondence
with which the judge is daily en-
quilted.
"The idea of pardon seems to be
the first thought after they reach the
penitentiary," said Judge Lewis.
Some seem to look upon their SEN
tence as a personal grudge that the
judge had at them. They are very
submissive. naturally, and seem to
think if they can Just get the COURT 5

This in spite of the fact that it

The Judge is besieged With letters
from the prisoners and from their
friends. rehearsing their personal con
tentions rs to why the defendant
should be released, how he happened
to get into trouble to begin with and
how good he would be If he could
get out. Some days the judge re
ceives as hish as ten or n dozen of
this sort of letters, and most of them
are unanswered
AS a matter of fact the laws and
courts are much more lenient with
prisoners now than they used to be. :
remarked Judge Lewis. The major

offenses mostly are technical and do

Oct. Cattle receipts were fairly
liberal yesterday, some 5000 head
showing up. The two days supply
total over q 500 head. The small
supply of cornfed cattle sold ready al
steady to possibly a shade stronger
prices. If there was any change in
the market for western beef cattle as
compared with Monday it was in the
direction of stronger prices. Demand
from all sources was good and there
was healthy competition from feeder
buyers for anything they could use.
Cows and heifers were also in rather
broader demand and stronger, while
stockers and feeders generally sold in
pretty much the same notches as on
Monday.

W. II. Olin.-If the proper love for
the farm is developed in the child
there will be no desire on the part of
young men and women to leave the
farm environment. From their mer-
est infancy farm children should have
only the most attractive side OF the
farm picture presented TO them In
the early formative years impressions
are created which stay with the indi-
vidual all through life. II you instill
in a child a love for farm animals
for baby sheep, pigs. chickens. horses.
dogs. or what you will--the love for
all those things is going to grow
deeper and more intense as the child
grows. Yet how many children on
the farm lead lonely lives because
they have no pets and because their
parents are too busy TO see that the
little folk have the companionship
which they crave.
