REPAIR WORN MACHINERY
Scarcity Of Implements Must BE Met
BY Putting Old Ones Into
Shape for Work.

The gr.a. uutry for farm produc-
ton and the scarcity Of machinery
points 20 IN" need Of some way to
repair a great many implements that
ar, now u-,'"ss largely because OF the
urgIcc; with which they have been
treated. -ay- the United States De
par,mrut % Agriculture, which adds
rha, III" machinery manufacturers and
their 'pca, .alrs agents should help
to perform this repair service.
Throughout III" country there are
thousands Of binders, mowers and 9TH
or farm machines rusting in the fence
corners, and many Of these might be
made ayaIlabl" for further valuable
service. Tho manufacturers Of farm
machinery are admittedly unable TO
furnish all the new machines re
qulrrd and ar" paying for full-page
advertisements TO influence govern
mental authorities to insure them nee
rssary raw materials and trausporta
ton in competition with the demand
for machines Of war.
The railroads Of the country, &C
cording to ono Of their officials, are
being compelled in the present emer-
gcncy 20 rescue practically every scrap
locomotive from the old-iron grave
yards and rebuild them for active ser
vice. a similar plan should be adopt
ed, says the~departmcnt, for the rec
Iamation Of this cast-of farm equip
mcnt through the agency Of central
repair shops where the work could
be done. Many of the machines might
be made available for further service
with repairs Of comparatively small
cost.
Added to the almost sinful careless
ness of some farmers there has been
the attitude on the part Of farm ma
chinery manufacturers in years past
to favor the abandonment Of worn
and disabled machines in order TO sell
new ones: but now the time has ar
rived when it is difficult to supply
the market with the necessary new
machinery. The department suggests
that representatives Of the manufac-
turcrs, on the one hand, and of the
farmers such as farm bureau agents
or county agents-on the other hand,
should get together TO establish the
necessary farm machinery repair sta
tions in convenient localities.

In war time We care not the politics
OF the President, the governor Of state,

by the government, national. state and
municipal VIC did not support Speer,

one imagine Bob Spcer following the
policy of Mayor Thompson in the lat

Whatever criticisms may be urged
against Governor Gunter or Mayor
Sprpr-bOth Democrats-thc public
should congratulate itself on the fact
that Gunter and Sporr in these trying
and perilous day are strong and fear
less men-thc kind needed in war
times. While we do not agree with
them politically, yet We are willing
to give them credit and all the honor
due for lofty Amcricanism and genu-
inc patriotism during war emcrgcn-
cics, and give them hearty support
Tho best Republicans and Progress

GOD is TIRED"

Ex-Governor Alva Adams, of Colo
RADIO, in q recent address:
From every section there sweeps
toward Atlantic ports the units Of q
mighty army. 1t is the rising tide Of
. great people who'd have all men free
~ they themselves are free. It is the
challenge Of the republic for free
world, for a world democratic.
Emerson wrote: "God is tired Of
kings" The people are also weary
Of carrying dynasties upon theirbacks.
Under the divine impulse, the nations
Of the free are arising in their might.
No Alexander, no Caesar, no Napoleon
shall again inspire to world dominion.
It is the Armageddon between auto
cracy and liberty. Under the Kaiser
only vassals fight Against him the
allies of justice, liberty and humanity.
There can be no compromise. Eth
er God or Lucifer are to reign. JUS
tice, not the sword, must be made the
master Of human destiny. In this con-
test America gives her treasure, she
gives her sons that Belgium may be
vindicated and that liberty may not
perish from the earth.

REGA GERMAN PEOPLE
AS PRIVATE PROPERTY

The following extract from the will
of Frederick the Great, that model
of royalty on which the Kaiser and
the German nobility Of today outline
their ideas, gives an inkling of the pc
culiar state Of mind which possesses
not only ruling class who can take
that point of view, but also of the
common people of Germany who sub
nit to it.
When Frederick the Great, exem-
plar of all German royalties, died in
1856, he disposed of the kingdom of
Prussia in his will as if it had been one
of his horses. a bequeath unto my
dear nephew, Frederick William, as
unto my immediate successor, the
kingdom of Prussia, the provinces,
towns, palaces, forts, fortresses, all
ammunition and arsenals, all lands
mine by inheritance or right Of con-
quest, the crown jewels, gold and sill
yer service of plate in Berlin, country
houses, collections of coins, picture
galleries, gardens and so forth" Con-
pare this willwith the utterances of
Washington and Hamilton made at
the same time.

OLDSMOBILE TOURING
PARTY HERE RECENTLY

A touring party promoted by tho
Oldsmobile agency in Denver came
thru here from the west week ago to-
day. There were ten or twelve cars
in the party and forty people. These
touring parties will come oftener as
soon as the beauty of our Rainbow
route is more generally known. Here
we have far and away the finest road
across Colorado, but we don't adver-
tise it enough.
This party left Denver Sept. 1, and
first took in the Cliff Dwellers' ruins
in Mesa Verda Park. They then
swung over toward Montrose by way
of Mancos.
This is the second sociability run Of
the Oldsmobile people. The party
took dinner at La Veta hotel.

Sl.50 DROP IN SUGAR RE-
PORTED DUE OCTOBER |

A drop Of $3.50 per 100 pounds
wholesale in the price of sugar is an
nounced by W. L. Petrikin, president
Of the Great Western Sugar company,
TO become effective on October first.
Nr. Petrikin suggests that the price
may go lower than the sl.50 decrease

price of suger keeps steadily rising
during the canning and preserving
season. Somebody must he - taken

- - n

1t is to be regretted that the State
Highway Commission could not see
their way clear to set up the funds to
finish the great Crested Butte-Somer-
set highway in 1917. However, the
State Highway Commission has
troubles of its own. The unspeakable
Post is now engaged in trying to force
the commission to build cement heads
all around Denver, while the rest Of
the state must suffer with great
stretches of country like the Upper
North Fork entirely undeveloped be-
cause of lack of roads of any kind.
At least that appears to be the esten-
sible reason of the Posts antics, plus
a revenge for something Tam-bom
wanted and didn't get.

INCREASING GRASS LAND

Denver Commercial:
England is now putting 2,0O0,0 900
acres of grass land into grain. This
is being done at sacrifice of the
herds of the kingdom, and is in line
with the policy being carried on in
France and Germany, where live stock
is also being sacrificed to the neces-
sites of present-day war demands
and for an increased grain production.
This condition can admit of but one
Interpretation, and that is that the
live stock and dairy problems, after
the war, are to be left largely to the
United States, while all the countries
of Europe are being put upon basis
of increased grain production, with
greatly depleted herds of all kinds of
food and dairy animals.

This rule is satisfactory for large tall

ducts. 1t was predicted when the

price before the season was well
started. However, the demand seems
to have been greater than expected, or
else the supply not as large. 1t

1t seems to be the general opinion
among experts that potatoes are go
ing to bring a good figure all next

from sl.50 to SLIGO last week; in fact
the only thing to fear is the dumping
Of large quantities on the market by
farmers who are not equipped with
storage facilities. AS cars are hard
to obtain for shipping, the man who
has no bins, will find difficulty, and
if there are enough of such farmers,
they might break the market severe
ly and scare q whole lot of others.
One authority states that the man who
takes less than s1.50 this fall is simply
playing into the hands of some
speculator.
Boulder Camera: Colorado editors
who urge farmers to raise 50 wheat
next year are likely to get in bad.
We know some farmers who say that
that isn't at all commensurate with
the cost of growing wheat One of
them pays his hired man $40 a month
and he only paid him S35 last year.
And another tried to convince US that
he had to buy new harvester every
year and harvesters and binding twine
are high now, awfully high. One
farmer got indignant because we
spoke confidently of his immediate
grain prospects at a guaranteed gov
ernment price of 81 bushel though
he cashed in $50 an acre this year
from 800 acres Of grain on land that
cost him $50 an acre a year ago. You
can't please the farmer. If you tell
him you are sorry for him he spurns
your charitable remarks by favorably
comparing his condition with yours,
If you tell him his profits are big he
frowns on such an idea. However we
take it that he will plant few kernels
Of wheat this fall and we wish hin
well.
