The Country Editorial.

Many editors of small papers refuse to give their readers editor
ias on the ground that editorials are for the large city papers and
the public does not care for the views OF the country editor. AS a
matter of fact, the views of the rural population are really reflected
by the editorials of the large city papers, which CLEANS them from
the country papers which u editorials. The sound thought of the
country is to be found in the rural districts. Here, in the more or
less quiet of the country, men and women read and study and gather
data which results in conclusions founded on a solid basis. Some
times this thought may be biased by the politician who rune off at a
tangent with some new fad Or "ism," but generally such fads are
short lived and the sensible thinker of the country districts returns
to the sane and solid and conservative attitude which has always dis
tinguished him. The editor of the country paper, therefore, has a
duty to perform in crystsizing this thought and sending it out to the
world as the contribution of his section of the country to the agita-
ton of the day. The country editor, usually is a comparative poor
man, but he has sand and independence and a pride of work rarely
found in other professions. Moreover he is brought into closer per-
sonal contact with his constituency than the editor of the city paper.
1 tits safe to say that never before in the history of journalism have
editorials been more widely or more carefully read, not, perhaps as in
the old days, to base an opinion on the views of the editor, but for
the purpose of getting all sides of every question-Ex.

Broke Leg.

Martin Christensen young man
of this place, was unfortunate Mon
day in getting his right leg broken,
1t is a very bad break, being a
compound fracture just below the
knee, and while the break is a very
bad one the crushing of the leg
and bruising makes it very painful
and will be a long time before he
will again walk. DIR. Price, with
the kind assistance of w. M. Meek,
of Denver, a travelling man who
was ON hand, set the leg and Mr..
Christensen is doing as we'll as
could be expected.

THE FISH FRY
Annual Fry Pleases Visitors from All Over
Country-Done to a Turn and
Plenty Lett Over.

The biggest feature of the Car
bon County Fair was the fish fry
Monday on the large island in the
river. Hundreds of fish was con-
sumed, a larger crowd than ever,
and all hungry and good natured.
1t is said by those who attended
these fries, that no better has ever
been pulled off, and many thought
that it could not be improved upon
over former dinners. Zach year
this big feature gets and
more, and other towns in fishing
localities have taken lessons from
Saratoga, and are annually putting
on fine fried trout dinners, and
each are good, but none can i'm
prove on the originator, and Sara
toga, and the Fair Association have
just reasons to feel proud of the
Fry Monday.
This annual event, consists of
some 1900 to 1000 fried trout,
Saratoga chips, bread and butter
and coffee, and anyone is at liberty
to attend and bring any other ad-
d~itional edibles that they care to.
1t is a sort of outdoor picnic, I'M
der the trees on the island. You
get your plate and cup and go
down the line of ready servers,
who pile your plate high with the
finest trout in the world, and after
securing what else you want, you
hunt a place to rest yourself and
fill the inner man.
Fried trout, in dutch ovens, by
expert outdoor cooks, is II rare
treat, and many of the visitors here
each year come from places far and
near, who have never been to a
treat of this kind and it is needless
to say that, one and all are so well
pleased with it, and it's success,
that it takes them the balance of
their stay, congratulsting the fish
fry people, and this year the
affair was under Mr.. Young, as a
committee from the Association to
look after it. Mr.. Young in turn
procured the best help and men in
the country and they few at it
with a heart and the result is not
only gratifying to the Association
but to Mr.. Young and his good
crowd of assistants.

Brain Fag and War.

Modern man is a top heavy
being whose brain is dispropor-
tionately superior to his other Or
gans," says the New York Medi.
cal journal, and then goes to
prove that the war in Europe is
the result of brain fag. The Jour-
nal believes that the stress and
hard mental work of this age TEN
ded inevitably to the ~reassertion
of the primitive impulses. Some
thing had to snap, and when it
did the result was the war. Other
nations accuses Americans of liv-
ing too fast; but they do not see
that we combine pleasure with
work to such a degree that, if We
don't let down on the play, we are
apt to remain normal human be-
ings. For instance, the tired bust
ness man takes a couple of hours
from the Office and goes to the ball
grounds, where he yells like a
Comanche Indian, bowls like a
steam siren, cusses the visiting
team and throws p~op-bottles at the
umpire. The women relieve the
tension of modern life by dancing,
or motoring, or strenuous physical
exercise on the golf course or ten
mis- courts. The use of tobacco is
mans first aid toward taut nerves.
1t is said that the sudden stoppage
of drugs would result inevitably
in a nationwide irritability that
would result in a possible social
upheavel. American men work
hard and live fast. 1t is better
they should find relief in harmless
amusements and stimulants than
to go on until something snaps and
the result is wsr.-Corr.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE ri APPRo-
PRlATlohSs
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are Inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports Ii
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed i'll conquer
ling the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion Of our ports for the pro-
ducts Of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are en-
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,000,-
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
toll of approximately $50,000O00
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
it's benefits as that of free pert
and none can be more easily and eff
fectively secured

THE VITAL PROBLEM Or
AGR|CUL TURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
Of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tuticns have spent $3.50, 100000 III the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
OF agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp Of
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers editors
and statesmen must unite in solving
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods Of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans Of marketing, but does not be-
tieve in promoting one to the neglect
CT the other We consider the work
Of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and con-
mercial agencies seeking to help US.

and advice, but we believe that their

MANY DIE NEEDLESSLY
IN SEARCH FOR HEALTH
tuberculosis Can be Cured Without
Hunting New Climate Says
Association.

NEW YORK, June 24.-From
10000 to $4,000 consumptives go West
in search Of health every year. Such
is an estimate made by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis in a statement
issued today based on recent investi-
cations of the United States Public
Health Service. The association con-
cludes that there are at present be-
tween 100000 and 100000 consump-
tives in the states of California, Ari-
IONA, New Mexico, Texas and Colora-
do.
Investigations were made during the
past year by surgeons of the United
States Public Health Service, P. M.
Darlington in California, E. A. Sweet
in Texas and New Mexico, and A. d.
Foster in North and South Carlonia.
The national association draws the
following conclusions from these stud
les:
~ Thousands Of consumptive at
tracted by the climate migrate every
year to the west and southwest While
no definite figures can be procured the
facts ascertained would indicate an an
nual migration of at least 10000 and
possible $4,000 into the states Of Cal
ifornia, Arazona, Colorado, New Mexi-
co and Texas.
Many Hopeless Cases
(2) From 30 to so per cent of these
consumptives are hopeless cases and
die within six months after their ar
rival, the percentage of those dying
within 80 days running as high as Is.
(3) A large, but unknown percent
age die in almshouses or are the reci-
pients or charity, and the great ma
jority of these could have been made
comfortable in their last days if they
had stayed at home among friends
and relatives.
(4) From 40 to 80 per cent of all
deaths from tuberculosis in the west
and southwest are of natives Of other
states, nearly fifty per cent coming
from Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kentuc-
ky, Tennessee and New York.
(5) People who can afford it and
who are not in too far advanced stages
of tuberculosis will find the climate of
the west and southwest an aid in the
treatment of tuberculosis.
49,. :. -. Delay Dangerous. -. -.
(6) No one should think of going
west or southwest for his health I'M
less he has at least $1,000 above hiss
railroad fare, and can leave his family
in comfortable circumstances; and no
one should go who is in an advanced
stage of tuberculosis or who has not
taken careful medical advice.
% tuberculosis can be cured in any
part of the United States, and it is
far better for a consumptive of mod
crate means, such as the average
workingman, to go to sanatorium
near at home, than to &C. west with
out proper food or medical care.
(sl Finally there may be plenty Of
jobs in the west and southwest for
bodied men, but the consumptive
will find the greatest difficulty in get
ting work, and no one should go west
therefore in the hope of getting job.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
will send free literature or give in
formation about sanatoria and hos
pitfalls to any one inquiring at its Of
