Following the noble example of former
Secretary Of the Navy q. Won L. Meyer
and society lion TruXton Beale, who
stirred Washingtons upper set yester-
day by a common street brawl, the
Camden and Jasper teams of the Eastern
Basketball League frightened up the cor
ners of Nonparcil Hall last evening with
a similar fstiC production.
Ractzcl refereed the Kensington bouts
which occurred simultaneously with the
basketball game. Bact2el was not able
to handle the delicate situation and
called in the cops. much to the disgust
of the big crowd. The bluecoats put an
end to the exhibitions Of the manly art,
then Jasper proceeded to trim Camden,
81 to q.
The game last nIght was the play-off
of the contest scheduled for January 6,
which Camden refused to play because
Bill Hummer was in the Jasper lineup.

DON'T SET OUT TENDER PLANTS
TOO EARLY
No Advantage Gained, and They May
Be Stunted and Weakened

Professional, as well as amateur
gardeners generally make the mis-
take of setting out tender plants be-
fore the permanent warm weather
sets in. No advantage is gained by
setting out tender plants like tona-
toes, peppers, and egg plants before
the soil is thoroughly warmed up
and all danger from frost Is past.
If planted too early, the plants be-
come stunted and weakened and will
not produce a normal crop. '1rtLer,
they do not ripen their fruit as early
as plants that are set later or when
the season is far enough advanced to
eliminate all danger from Frost and
cold weather If the above mention
ed plants are set out in the ground
about the 2Oth of May in eastern Col
orado, they will make q better crop
than if planted earlier.
The practice of placing tin cans and
other receptacles over the plants to
protect them from frost Is not, as a
rule, good practice. While these
receptacles may ward off the frost,
the plants invariably become chilled
and stuated, and their progress later
on in the season is much slower than
if the plants had not had setback.
Plants that are able to withstand
frost, like peas, radishes and onions,
should be planted as early as the
ground and weather permit This is
especially true of peas, which are not
injured by frost, but on the other
hand, are benefited by cold weather
and soil, as they develop a better
root-system and make q better crop.
The same is true, to a great extent,
of onions and radishes Lettuce and
cabbage will also stand moderate
frost.-E. P. Sandstein, Colorado Ag-
rlcultural College, Fort Collins, Col
orado.

Are We Prepared for Peace?

At the present time our prosperity
has not lasted long enough to give
US any great advantage. Our at
tempts to build up foreign trade in
new countries have not gone far. With
war demands shut off, the situation
would be one requiring the utmost
diligence and caution. Nothing has
been done for the railroads, nnd with
extra transportation eliminat ted they
would slump back into their former
discouraging position. Tariff walls
are still down, and with Europe at
work assiduously at low wages and
economizing in every direction, we
would, in all likelihood, have to meet
competition. The bclligcrent coun-
tries would try to supply their own
needs outside Of food, metals and
cotton.
What a year or two more Of the
war would do for the United States
depends upon conservation of profits,
unfagging effort to build up perman-
ent foreign trade, the enactment of
wise shipping laws, and the reform
of the tariff on business and not
political lines,
But We have an administration
which is showing no capacity for
helping business on sound lines. The
opinions of business men arc regarded
with suspicion. There have been no
broad national movements which
would have been taken long ago by a
great government, to place the COM
merce Of the country on a footing
where every advantage could be
availed in the widest opportunity ever
given to a nation to establish world
supremacy. Instead, we have such
worthless, unsound expedients as the
government ship purchase bill, OBJ
stinatcly urged against every sensible
objection and wasting an enormous
amount of government energy, while,
meantime, such an indefensible meas
ure as the Seamen's bill is allowed
to become law and to work destruc-
tion to our merchant marine. The
dyeing interests have been pleading
for help for a year, but have made no
headway against ignorant, theoretical,
departmental opposition, while the dye
shortage is wreaking countrywide de-
struction of textile business.
There is every evidence that great

SHEEP DIPPING NECESSARY
Still Essential to the Con-
tinued Freedom of FlOcks From
Scab

Washington, d. c., April "a. 1916
Sheep owners should continue for
some years to come to dip their hocks
at least once year as precaution
against sheep scab, according to spec
ialists in the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture. During the past ten years
systematic efforts to eradicate this
disease have been so successful that
there is tendency on the part Of
many flock masters to believe that all
danger Of loss from this cause is at
an end. This, however, in the opinion
Of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, is not the case. 1t is true that
the economic losses from the disease
at the present time are insignificant,
but scab has not been completely Grad
icated, and it is necessary for the
protection Of the industry that dip
ping be continued for some time to
come.

c. b. Stewart, who was one of the
early Prowers county editors, died at
his home in Ordway on April 10Th.
Mr.. Stewart and his family were well
known both at Granada and through
out the county in the late '90s and
they still have many friends in that
section. All will regret to hear Of
his death. The following obituary
notice is taken from the Ordway New
Era, which he started after leaving
Granada:
Charles b. Stewart was born in
Iowa City, Iowa, in 1912 when Iowa
was still territory. He resided in
that state for several years and spent
all of his early life in the Mississippi
valley towns and in Chicago. He took
up the printing trade when quite a
young man and worked at the print
ing and newspaper business all his
life. When the Civil war broke out
he enlisted and served with credit to
himself and country, and at the close
Of the war again resumed the work
OF his chosen occupation For sew
eral years he resided in Missouri,
where he edited and published a
newspaper and it was in that state
that he and Mrs. Walters were united
in marriage on November 10, 1890.
They were then residing in Carthage
In 1898 they moved TO Colorado, tax
ing up their home in Granada, where
Mr.. Stewart started the Granada
Times. Selling his interest there the
family moved to Ordway in 1902, in
March, and commenced the New Era.
He sold out his interest here about
five years later to Jay F. Johnson, but
continued to make Ordway his home,
living for a short time in Cheraw.
For the past two years he has been
with the New Era working at the
printing trade to occupy his mind and
time, and his association with the
paper during these two years has been
pleasant both for himself and to the
ones with whom he worked.

Democrats Discriminate Against the
Farmers

Washington, April 26 Especial Cor
respondence)- Congressman George
W. Fairchild of New York points out
the manner in which the democrats
discriminate against farmers. He
said in a recent address: There is
feature of the democratic tariff
which the people Of New York, in
common with the people Of all the
northern states, in justice to them
selves, ought to keepin mind. This
feature is the spirit cf sectional fav-
oritism which the democratic party
displayed in its tariff work. The
democratic party is controlled for the
most part, as we know, by representa-
tives in congress from the southern
states. These men, although they
profess the theory Of free trade as a
principle to be applied generally,
nevertheless took good caro- in franz
ing their tariff that their own agricul-
tural constituents should not be hurt
as severely rs the farmers Of the
northern states.
"The grains such as are raised by
the northern farmers were either
made entirely free of duty or cut
down to extremely low rates, but rice,
a great product Of southern farmers,
was permitted to continue to enjoy
a protective duey Potatoes, which
northern farmers produce, are prac-
tically on the free list, whilc peanuts,
which the farmers Of Virginia, North
Carolina, and other southern states
produce, have the benefit of a pro-
toctive duty. The wool produced by
northern farmers is on the free list,
but the hair of the Angora goat, which
is produced in Texas, has a protective
duty. The fruits of the northern
states were made to suffer heavy re-
ductions of duty, but the oranges pro-
duced in Florida are allowed a sub
stantial protective duty.
"Our northern farmers are rot mar
row in their views, and are not dis
satisfied that southern farmers enjoy
the benefits of protective duties such
as they themselves do not now enjoy.
Our farmers realize that any develop
ment of industry in this country is
benefit to all, and that thiG is true
whether the industry be agricultural
or manufacturing. But they realize
also that the policy Of the southern
democrats in congress was narrow
one in not giving just consideration to
the needs of agriculture in all sec
tions, and that it could also be crit
icized as unfair to the sections dis
eliminated against"
