disced. In such cases the crops are
short and weedy. Plenty Of rain has
fallen but the moisture has not had an
opportunity to be stored. Crops could
hardly look better where the soil was
plowed good and deep and properly
narrowed, and seed sown fairly early.
Farming may be a good deal of a
gamble, but it is not gambling to put
crops in poorly. The farmer hasn't
a chance to win in such cases. Taking
conditions generally, the crops appear
excellent and there will be a great
many mighty fine yields.

The crops are very good on the av-
erage altho they will not yield quite
as we'll as they did last year, which
was an exceptional season. The writ
er has travelled considerably thru the
country and notes that there are many
fine fields. There are also a good
many fields that will prove great
disappointment around harvest time,
but no one is to blame except the
farmer himself. Land that should
have been summerfallowed, was

The difficulty between the railroads
and the employees is far from being
settled and it is entirely possible that
strike will be the result. If a half
million railway employees walk out,
the commercial business of the coun-
try will be tied up at the very time
when prosperity is at it's height. The
employees among other things demand
an eight hour day. This the railway
companies say they are willing to
grant but will insist that the men
work the full eight hours. For in
stance, if an engineman comes in from
his run of seven hours, he will be ex-
pected to put in an hour at some
other kind of work. The railway COM
panies are willing to arbitrate the
differences and it appears that this is
about the best way out.

North Dakota, which ought to be
exporting thousands of tons of cab
bsge, onions and other vegetables, ac-
tually ships in hundreds Of thousands
of dollars worth of these products an
nually. This is a strange condition.
We have the finest soil in the world
for growing vegetables and ought to
grow a great surplus. Instead, every
year, thousands of North Dakota
farmers buy the onions which they
use, paying in the neighborhood of
ten cents pound, retail.

Down in New Jersey it is dangerous
for young men to promise to wed girls
and then jilt them. Judge Klenert of
Paterson sentenced Otto Eckhart to
seven years in prison for doing this
ungentlemanly thing but suspended
sentence when the youth changed his
mind.

II has come to the attention OF the
undersigned that one @. Arthur Hob

the Anti-Saio0n League and also sn.
gagged in lecturing to Sunday schools
and churches. Is spreading the report
that Honorable J. C. Scott Of Sterling.
now . candidate for reelection on the
Republican ticket for the Legislature,
was opposed during the last session
of the Legislature. to the Prohibition
bill. We desire to say that II Mr.. Hol-
lOway is reporting or stating that Mr..
Scott was opposed to the Prohibition
bill In the last session. that he is
stating what is absolutely untrue.
The Prohibition bill was known A.
Senate Bill No. 80. introduced by
Senator Peterson Of Pueblo. When the
bill came from the Senate to the
House. and during the dis cussion Of

Mr.. Scott said that we were pledged
to vote for a prohibition bill and to
his mind the proposed bill was not
stringent enough. Mr.. Finch made no
reply to Mr.. Scott's inquiry, but left
the chamber. The House amended the
bill. and had the bill been passed in
accordance with the proposed amend
ment by the House there would have
been no liquor sold in Colorado ex-
cept for sacramental purposes. A con-
ference committee was appointed Of
the Senate and the House and as a
result of such conference committees
report the bill was changed to read as
finally enacted into law, changing the
amount that could be purchased at
one time from six to four ounces.

Ny dear Mr.. Scott
1t having come to our knowledge
that statements are being made in
your district to the effect that you
we're not in line with the Republican
Administration during the last session
Of the Legislature in matters of legis-
lation. and that you we're opposed to
the Prohibition Law" We want to
state to the citizens Of your district
that any such statements are abso-
lately without foundation.
All measures advocated by the Ad-
ministration in the Legislature had
your cordial support. and in the mat
ter Of the Prohibition law. you wanted
to go even further than the law, as
hrst proposed. and eliminate the sale
Of liquor by drug stores entirely. and
did vote to reduce 1t from six ounces,
IS was first proposed. to four ounces.
which was eventually adopted.
Hoping that this testimony will re-
move any doubts in the minds OF your
constituents, II any such exists, as to
your loyalty to the administration and
the Prohibition law, we remain.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE A. CARLSON,
Governor.

Rear Sir:
remember with great pleasure
your support of the dry Law" pass
ed by the last legislature. The oppo-
sition to It in the House" was very
little indeed, but almost everyone-and
you were by no means in the rear OF
the procession-seemed not only will
ing, but anxious. to carry out the will
Of the people as expressed by their
vote.
Very truly yours.
