Iumbana Nuts in Philippines.

The bureau of agriculture in the
Philippines has been making efforts
to develop the lumbang, or candlenut,
industry in the islands, and to encour-
age the planting of trees to replace
the wild trees, which are being exten-
sIvely destroyed. A. w. Prnutch. IN
expert of the bureau, hns made u
study of this industry for some years.
At present. 1t Is conducted In very
hnphazard manner, the collecting be-
ing done chiefly by the wild tribes and
the trade being conducted by Chinese.
Most of the nuts that reach Manila
come from Mindanao. The soft-sheiled
variety Is the one that offers the best
possibilities Of development for COM
mercial purposes. Lumbang oil Is
used as an illuminant. in painting, and
rur calking.-Scientific American.

Prospects of a Potato
Crop Fading

The prospects of a bumper po-
tato crop are glimmering. Re-
ports from far and wide. say the
deadly little worm is at work and
there is bound to be a shorter
crop than was promised. Maybe
a remedy will be found. bur the
worm is a hard proposition to
handle, for it does its destructive
work inside the stalk. into which
it burrows and cleans out the in
side until nothing but the dead,
hollow stalk remains. The worm
is submarine in its habits, Great
ing its havoc before it can be dis
covered and its seclusion makes
it impossible to reach it with any
poisonous preparation. 1t has
legs at either end of the body,
no doubt being equipped that 1t
can run both ways at once. The
varmit has no particular choice
of vegetation and is found in the
corn, tomatoes, cabbage and all
other garden products = even in
the flower beds. The prospects
for bountiful supply of pota-
toes and other needed products
are fading away rapidly in this
neighborhood. Mt. Carroll, Ills.
Mirror. .a
So far we are pleased to say our
potato crop is looking fair, and
we have an outlook at present.
for a good crop OF "spuds" in

SOFT COLLAR NOW IN STYLE
Starch Is Food and Its Use In Cloth
ing Has Been Put Under Ban
In Great Britain.

Starch has gone out of fashion in
England except in the backbOnes Of
the people. A man who enters draw
ing room in hard-boiled shirt and
high collar is apt to find himself out
of tune with the surroundings, which
are more than likely to be khaki or
norfolk jackets and soft collars.
Starch is food, and the question
of what an Englishman eats comes be-
fore what he wears. The food con-
troller is inexorable. "It is thought"
he says in answer to the Launderers'
association, that potential food should
be employed nowadays for internal
rather than external use"
Housewives are urged to do without
starch in table linen, blouses and
other things. Starch in clothing, in
the eyes of the government, is an
anachronism. Consequently licenses
for the manufacture of the product
have been cut down until there are
only few such factories, each with a
limited output.

LAST RECRUITS OF sLAvE..iT
Remnants Of Cargo Brought to Amer
lea in 1859 Make Up interesting
Colony Near Mobile.

Perhaps the most interesting colony
OF negroes in America today Is to be
found in Alabama, about three miles
from the heart of Mobile. Here in n
little town called Plateau lives group
of nine weather-beaten, grlzzled old
men and women, the remnant of the
last cargo Of slaves brought to Aineri-
can soil from the coast Of Africa, says
the Southern Workman. The youngest
is entering on his sixty-sixth year; the
oldest Is not less than one hundred and
ten; while just few years ago one OF
their number died who had seen more
than one hundred and forty years.
They were brought to America in the
summer Of 1860. In 1865 their emanci-
patton came. For the next few years
they were buffeted about by changing
fortunes without any settled home.
One among them, wiser than the
rest, saw the dangers of their unset
tied condition. Not owning their homes
they could be turned out at any time,
and, hiring themselves to strange mas
tiers in search Of la5orers, they might
some day be carried off again into
slavery, perhaps to Cuba or Porto Rico,
for they learned that slavery still e1-
listed there. With such incentive be-
hind them they selected tract of
land just outside Mobile, on Three
Mile creek, and began the purchase Of
homes.
AS one goes over and about Pla-
teau, he is struck with the appropri-
ateness of the setting in which this
African colony Is to be found. About
one-half the town is owned by negroes,
and of the property occupied by them
Mt least T5 per cent is owned by their
own people. The largest single hold
ing of land among them is between so
and GO acres. Another negro land
lord owns and rents about 20 houses.
There are nine stores, of which seven
are owned and operated by colored
men. The largest Of them oil is one
Of these seven and represents vol
ume of business amounting to more
than 1000 annually.

Sheriff Ferrin makes Life
Miserable for Tourists

Sheriff Eugene H. Ferrin was
a busy official Wednesday after
noon. The sheriff received a tel
egram from Art Brown. sheriff
of Cheyenne county, to intercept
Lee Kibbee who was wanted at
Cheyenne Wells as a witness in
the Wyant murder case, and who
was headed toward Denver in a
Ford car.
Gene stationed his Ford in
front of the Democrat office and
waited for his man. Pretty soon
a party started out of town in a
Ford car and the sheriff started
in hot pursuit. It was an inter-
esting race, but the sheriff won.
The man cleared himself of being
the party wanted and the sheriff
returned to his post in front OF
this office. There is large num-
ber Of tourists passing thru town
now. and it wasn't long until an
other Ford whizzed by dangling
trailer as long as the car. The
sheriff's eagle eye caught sight
of the vanishing caravan. A few
turns of the crank and he was
off like the wind. Halt, in the
name of the law" was the stur-
dy command that reached the
ears of the man with the excess
baggage, who had led the sheriff
merry chase to the foot hills
west of town.
Fooled again" was the COM
ment OF our hero as he retraced
his rubber tired steps to an ad-
vantageous position in front of
our sanc.um.
Three, four, aye five times did
our sheriff charge the tieeting
van Of automobiles as they hur-
ried westward in quest OF peace
and quietude in the cooling bree-
zes Of the mountain fastness.
At last the sheriff was rewarded
and returned to town with a will
ing prisoner who volunteered to
make the trip back to Cheyenne
Wells and give what little light
he could on case that is being
bitterly fought in the courts Of
our neignboring county. Hugo

That the prohibition laws pass

shown by the issuance of permits

Washington Letter
By Edward Heating


Congressman from the third Colorado
district.
Through the appeal which he
made to the consciences and pat
riotism of the leaders of the busi-
ness world on July 11th. Presi-
dent Wilson has probably saved
the American people hundreds of
Millions of dollars.
1t was one of the most remark
able of the many extraordinary
documents which have come from
the pen of the president in recent
months.
For weeks and months the ma
tion's chief executive had labor
ed through his trusted lieuten-
ants with the representatives of
the great industrial enterprises
of the country in the hope that
he could induce them to abandon
their demand for war profits.
Apparently the conferences were
futile. Ffa.
"Big Business" talked patriot
ism but it insisted on profits-not
reasonable profits but such pro-
fits as Avarice had never dared
hope for in all the experience Of
mankind. Heretofore CONNER
.cial greed had been satisfied with
millions. now it planned on gath
.ering billions into its Golfers.
ATTEMPT TO QUIT UNCLE
SAM.
1t is true that the government
was offered some material discont
but ouly OIL conditions that the
great combines and mOnoplies
were left free to exploit the peo-
pie and the governments Of
Europe which are cooperating
with this country.
In these letters | have told how
the men who control the output
of coal and steel had increased
prices so as to add about four
billions to their profits. They
were not isolated offenders. 9th
er captains of industry" were
quick 10 follow their example.
Eventually the presidents pa
thence was worn threadbare and
he issued his scathing appeal.
"A just price must. of course,
be paid for everything the gov
ernmeat buys" wrote the presi-
dent. by a just price | mean
a price which will sustain the in
dustries concerned in high
state OF efficiency. provide a liv-
ing for those who conduct them.

and make possible expansions of
their enterprises which will from
time to time become necessary
as the stupendous undertakings
of this great war develop
/ Would it be possible for the
human mind to formulate a prop
ositiou which would be fairer to
.capital u. d labor?
PROFITS AND PATRIOTISM
Continuing the president gave
.utteranee to these thrilling SEN
timenls:
Patriotism has nothing to do
: with profits in a case like this.
Patriotism and profits ought new
.er in the present circumstances
to be mentioned together.
In these days of our supreme
trial, when we are sending hum
dreds of thousands Of our young
men ACROSS the seas to serve a
great cause. no true man VINO
STAYS behind to work for them.

1T is inceivable."
MUST PROTECT PEOPLE
The president. made it clear
that he would not be satisfied
with fair prices for the govern
ment. The people, too. must be
safeguarded from those who
would exploit them.
1.-The public is now as much
part of the government as are
the army and navy. themselves.
We must make the prices to the
public the same as the prices to
the government"
That the President had big
Stick" in reserve. was revealed
when he declared that If moral
suasion failed 1.-The law must com
mand these things" y
There was no misunderstand-
ing the message. The represent
atives of the Steel trust were the
first to ask for terms. The others
will probably follow. AS this is
written the exact result cannot be
determined but everyone agrees
that the president has hurled a
sixteen inch shell into the camp
of the e&ploiters. E
The people and the majority of
the members Of Congress are
with him, and if he stands pat
he viii get all the assistance he
needs.
FIX PRICES WHERE NECES-
SARY.
The government should not
hesitate to fix prices on anything
the people need the moment it
becomes apparent that some
combination is manipulating val
ues.
S, far as food is concerned,
the problem is solved satisfact-
orily by the Lever bill. Unfor-
tunate!y the influence Of the
food pirates' has been suffici-
ent to delay its passage through
the Senate. 1t should have been
law by July first, but it will pro-
badly not be placed on the stat
ute books until som stimei in Aug.
Every days delay means millions
to the pirates, and although the
pc eople petition. and Wilson
pleads and Hoover argues certain
Senators talk!
THE Interests" are also get
ting in their work on the reve-
nue. bill which we put through
the House some time ago.
Almost every amendment so
far considered by the Senate
committee which has charge of
the measure is an attempt to
shift the burden of financing the
war from the shoulders of the
rich to the backs of the poor.
Ugly stories of Wall street in
fluenc. are beginning to circulate
through the corridors of the Csp-
itol. However false these tales
m ly be. it is apparent that the
big financial interests are fight
ing increased income and excess
profits taxes with every weapon
at their command. The real bat

from office who fail to enforce the
prohibition law. Governor Alexander

support of the measure, Il Is claimed
that bootlegging is in progress in
many counties. and to put a stop TO
IL the proposed law will act as a club
over county officials, forcing them to
perform their sworn duties.
A memorial to congress was also In
troduced in the house, asking that II
pass amendments to section /, article
2, and article ~ Of the federal consti-
tuition, abolishing the present method
or electing q president and Vice-presi-
dent by means OF electors and provid-
ing for the election by direct vote OF

to be submitted TO the several states
for ratification.
The senate passed a memorial ask
ing congress to include In the Indian
appropriation bill, now pending before
1t, $4,000 for the construction OF good
roads in the Fort Hall Indian reserva-
ton The memorial was introduced
by Senator Evans OF. Power county.
When the mileage committee re-
ported in the senate the mileage TO
which each member 10 entitled, Sena-
tor John e. Pincock of Madison county
declined to accept his pro rata share,
amounting to $40. He explained he
was elected presidential elector, as
well as q senator. and that the
federal government had made allow
