FARMING CONDITIONS MUCH
IMPROVED IN THE SAN LUIS

ROCKY FORD, Colo, Jan. 2-Prof.
p X. Blinn, who has charge of the
State Agricultural college alfalfa
farm in this city, returned recently
from fortnight's trip through the
San Luis valley, where he has been
giving talks on alfalfa raising to
farmers. He says conditions in that
section are much improved over few
months ago when cholera among the
hogs nearly wiped out the industry
there. He said farmers are going
largely into the silo business, using
field peas, barley and several other
products for ensilage.

caught off their guard, just as Jof-
fre expected they would be and as
he is believed to have planned and
the so-calied battle of the Marne end
ed in a victory for the allies and the
consequent saving of the capital.
How did Joffre lead up to his VIC
tory? By refusing to play the grand
stand; by attending to his job re-
gardless of what the public might
think.
The French commander in chief de-
cided to retire the bulk Of his forces
east of Paris to positions south Of
the Marne and the Ornain and there
prepare his offensive. On the first
of September this movement was well
under way and, SO far as can gath
cr, it was the rapidity Of this mo-
ment which fooled the German COM
manders and led them into the error
Of believing the French and English
armies to all intents routed.
From this supposed definite retreat
of the allies, the German command
ers took to their cue. They had two
alternatives before them: either they
would have to pursue the allies with
the bulk of their armies, in the mo-
ment neglecting Paris or else let the
allies go and take Paris, a result ap-
parently nrdenly desired from both
military and political points Of view.
{ they ehose the fret ssarse, they
rislSed development in country cut
by numerous water courses--Marne,
Grand NORM, Petit NORM, etc.-but
IL they chose the second such q vast
number of troops would be necessary
that elsewhere their lines would be
so weakened that an offensive by the
allies might prove disastrous.
So they chose the first course, since
apparently the allies were practically
defeated, determining to pursue them
and annihilate both French and Eng
lish. Thus came to be fought the bat
tie of the Marne which was not really
The battle of the Marne at all, but
Of five or six other rivers as well.
The battle commenced around Sept.
5. The danger of the enveloping
movement probably forseen by the
Germans but discounted because they
thought the allies definitely in re-
treat and incapable Of serious fight
ing, at once became apparent. The
French and English pressed in from
The west, making a pocket, the bot
tom Of which was in the region Of
Coulomniers, Courtacon and Ester
nay, and here Generals Foch, d'Es-
percy and others resuming the often
sive, began their smashing blows. The
rest of the story is known. The Ger
mans retreated preeipitiously leaving
behind considerable material. The
French praise the German command
ers for escaping at all. Under less
able leaders, the French say, they
could not have extricated their arm
les, SO well prepared were the plans
of General Joffre.
Among military men, foreign -
well as French, General Joffre II re-
garded as fox for strategy and ut
terly free from pose. These two quail
ties, they say, permit him to plan
his movements carefully and without
an eye TO the bleachers or an ear
TO public opinion. He fights for
France instead of for his own glory.

PORTLAND DOGS

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 2.-There
was great rejoicing in dogdom today,
for the city ordinance repeating an
other ordinance making the muzzling

effect. The dogs were ordered muz-

threatened to be an epidemic of hy-

dogs, had died of the rabies. With
the practical disappearance of the
disease, the city commission believed
it safe to allow the dogs to shed the
leather and wire cages that have COW
cred their months for so long.

Conservative Democratic leaders in
congrers ar appalled, at the revenue
problem that confronts them. They
admit that the demand for appro-
priations is well nigh irresistible. and
that at Z. time when receipts areFfall-
ing behind. According to the treas
ury statement, the excess of expendi-
lures over receipts is approximately
$60,000,000. This is a deficit, pure
and simple. Leaders in congress fear
that unless the war revenue act and
the income tax law give better yield
than is now contemplated, that the
government will either have to revise
the tariff or issue bonds.

ration of Governor Carlson and the
announcement of the immediate pol
icy, not only of the leaders of the as
sembly but also of the governor. 1t
is generally known that number
of the leaders have been working to
secure the immediate enactment of
two laws: one, reducing state eX-
penses, and the other creating a pub
lie service commission which entails
the abolishment of many of the pres
ent boards and bureaus and which
compensation act. This is the pro-
posed policy of Governor Carlson and
the leaders of the party organization
There is some opposition to this plan,
especially to that part of it which
reduces the state expenses through
the abolishment of several boards and
bureaus. 1t is an easy matter for
leaders to party organization to
create public positions which give
salaried places to party workers, but
it is different proposition to abol-
ish public positions which take salar-
les from political workers. This feat
ure will represent the greatest senti-
ment that will be against the policy
as outlined by the party leaders.
The insertion in the proposed law
of workmen's compensation act
which will provide certain compensa-
ton in case of injury or death with
out having to resort to the courts,
should cause the measure to receive
the support of the laboring classes
of the state.
In addition to the two general bills,
steps. are being taken to formulate and
enact six measures which will make
the prohibition amendment effective.
These measures are being drafted by
the Anti-Saloon league and it's attor-
neys. They include measure pro-
yiding fines for the violation OF laws
abolishing the sale of liquor. also a
search and seizure bill, together with
other measures that are deemed nee
essary to put the amendment into eff
feet. In this connection there is one
feature which will command the i'm
mediate attention of the assembly. A
number of saloon keepers in the state
have purchased licenses to sell whis-
key, through the wear 1916. Under
the constitutional amendment giving
us the initiative and referendum,
amendments to the constitution take
effect following a proclamation of
the governor to the effect that they
are in force. Governor Ammons has
not yet issued such a proclamation.
There is nothing to hinder a man
buying license in advance if he
wants to, and a number of the Denver
saloon ks pers did this very thing.
1t was done for the purpose of test
ing the proposition if the license will
be legal after the prohibition amend
ment has gone into effect.
These are few of the things the
people of the state are watching with
a view of determining the policy Of
the coming administration.
