One Small Saving

We imagine that little has been lost
by the failure to provide money for
the Trade Commissions investigation
of the high cost of living. The four
hundred thousand dollars which the
administration wanted for the pur-
pose can be better spent in some other
way; and there are enough agencies
with ample funds to make the inves-
tigation without special appropriation.
The Trade Commission itself could
probably go on with the work within
the limits of its present monies. But
the policy of the administration al
ways is to get special appropriations
wherewith to give employment t. more

A Good Year for Crops

There Is good reason to believe that
farmers in Colorado will receive much
more than the average price when
the time comes to sell this years crop.
We hope that there will be some re-
lief from the present high prices but
we see no reason to think that there
will be any considerable falling off in
the demand for meats, grain and other
forms Of food for man and beasts.
Under such conditions it is good
business policy for Colorado farmers
to raise the maximum amount pos
sible for their land and their labor.
The foreign demand for the surplus OF
American farms is going to be prac-
tically unlimited, and the only result
of increased production this year is
going TO be an increase in the guam
tity exported, without any consider
able decrease in the price.
We believe that the Colorado out
put of cattle, sheep, hogs, grain and
alfalfa might be doubled or trebled
this year without producing any ap-
preciable effect upon local market
prices. With fruit conditions are not
the same, for fruit canot be sold in
Europe markets like the more staple
products. Yet fruit serves to a con-
siderable degree as a supplement and
substitute for other foods, and present
conditions are extraordinarily favor
able for a big crop at high prices.
II ever there was a time when the
advice, Make hay while the sun
shines" was particularly applicable to
Colorado farmers, that time is right
now. The farmer who increases the
yield of his fields this year will not
only have a financial reason for re-
joicing, but he will have sentimental
satisfaction in doing his full part to-
ward feeding his own nation and the
needy peoples Of the world.-Pueblo
Chieftain.

PROSPERITY AHEAD
PrOwers County Is Entering Upon
What Promises to BE Its Great
est Year

The past season has unquestionably
been the most prosperous in the his
tory of Prowers county, but as spring
opens in most promising manner the
prospects ahead for the coming sea-
son seem even brighter than those OF
last season. For one reason the acre
age will be greatly increased this sea-
son in all sections Of the county.
Nearly all the available irrigated land
will be in cultivation this year, far
greater percentage in fact than ever
before. In the dry land sections the
farmer. are rapidly learning the best
methods Of farming and best crops to
plant for the conditions prevailing in
their sections. This means IN i'm
mense increase in acreage on these
lands and an even greater increase of
revenue. An evidence of tho changed
conditions is the establishing of the
first Helvetia milk route running into
the exclusive dry land territory. 1t
is to take in the Little Kansas settle
ment and already 240 cows are pledg-
ed. This number will soon be greatly
increased and the results will encour-
age others to join in this great mon
ey making business. 1t will prove
the great resource Of the dry lands.
In the irrigated territory every crop
will be grown on greater acreage than
last year and as the war shows every
sign of continuing for another year or
at least through another crop season.
there is every reason to expect a
continuation Of present prices for at
least another year.
The conditions prevailing this spring
are fine enough to make optimists of
everybody, and the farmers are all
making big preparations for Zig sea-
son, and all expect to plant every
available acre in order to make the
most of the present situation. The
big campaigns Of the past season by
the alfalfa mills, Touring mills and
beet sugar factories, and the gigantic
feeding operations Of the stockmen
will be far excelled in 1917 unless all
signs fail.

RAILROAD STRIKE
Situation on the Railroads Again As
sumes Alarming Proportions

The four roalroad brotherhoods have
announced that they will wait until
Saturday Of this week for the su-
preme court of the country to pass
on the constitutionality of tho Adam
son bill passed by congress last Sep
tember under the whip of the brother
hoods and President Wilson, and If
they do not get decision by that
time call a strike. 1t is not be-
lieved that the supreme court will
submit as tamely as congress did to
dictation as to how il is to proceed,
so on Saturday somebody will have
to admit they are bluffing or the
country will have the long dreaded
dreaded, but the fact is that it has
been so long dreaded that the people
have become callous to its possible
effects, and where millions were hold
ing their breath almost in fear Of its
being called last September, few now
give it more than passing attention.
The Santa Fe railroad had the sit
uation so well in hand last fall that
they expected little interruption Of
traffic as a result of the wallkout, and
as the danger has been ever present
it is not very likely that they have
lost their organization and grip on
the situation. 1t is probably just as
well for the country to find out at
once whether or not they are abso-
lutely dependent on one class Of men.

Alfalfa, the Versatile

The same old world, which, but a
decade ago, laughed at the claims for
the new weed" alfalfa, and hooted
at the progressive feeders who pre-
dicted for it an important place in the
stock rations Of the future, now wax
hilarious at the thought Of its use as
human food.
But is it such a dream?
We have been interested, recently,
in some Of the instances which have
come to our attention, Of the manifold
use to which the queen" Of forage
plants is being put We wonder il our
readers cannot tell us Of others.
OF course there is alfalfa tea, alfal-
ia syrup and fountain drink made
from the combined elements of celery
and alfalfa These are more or less
widely known. Likewise alfalfa bis
cults and pancakes (made from mix
lures of alfalfa and wheat flour) have
been tried with some degrees of sue
cess.
That the present shortage of dye
stuffs might be partially relieved by
this wonder plant is evidenced by the
fact that the Navajo Indians have
succeeded in making a dye from alfal-
ia seed, which they use successfully.
Also Alfalfa Seed Oil has come TO
form the basis of many Of the flesh
building remedies used in the sani-
tariums Of the nation.
And now alfalfa for tobacco! There
has always been a suspicion that some
of the famous brands of "malcin's"
were largely composed Of alfalfa meal
stepped in tobacco juice.
And we predict that green will be
the popular color for the stogie Of the
future and that Sir Walter Raleigh's
famous "weed" will yield place to
the healthful, and-nicotine "Good
Fodder" Of the Persians-Alfalfa.-
Mealology.

The Farmers Won

The memorable attack and defense
Of Verdun, France, was as tame as an
old maids quilting party compared to
the stunt that was pulled off at the
gymnasium Monday evening. 1t was
advertised as a basketball game, and
it probably was, although Of a variety
never before witnessed hera. At any
rate, there was something doing every
minute from 500 till nearly midnight,
when the combatants, thoroughly ex-
hausted, were forced 10 quit for lack
Of strength to continue. 1t was a
double-header, the first game being
between ex-high school students from
the country and a highbrow squad Of
the town. The contest was full Of
whirlwind ferocity, bare legs and ludi-
crous situations. The muscled young
hay pitchers just romped over the
town dudes, taking the sphere any
time and anywhere they desired, the
country lads winning by 25 10 IS. Then
came the main event, a contest to a
finish between the farmers and Wiley
business men. 1t was a melee which
should be seen TO be appreciated, fast
and furious while it lasted-a combi-
nation Frank Gotch-Jess Willard ex-
hibition. Occasionally a frenzied
player got the ball but was knocked
down before he had time to throw it.
Rules were cast TO the whispering
zephyrs, and the contest became a
test of strength and endurance, the
farmers winning 10 to 5. The even
ing was an enjoyable one and netted
the curtain fund Wiley Jour
nal.

BANK STATEMENTS
The Lamar Banks Show Greater Gains
Than Ever Before

We publish in another column the
statement of the First National Bank
of Lamar showing a heavy gain in
both deposits and total assets. All
three statements will be published this
week and all will make a big show
ing of gains in both lines. The total
assets will show near the million and
a half mark with deposits running
nearly twelve hundred Thousand. 1t
was only a year of so ago that the
combined totals of the assets of all
the banks of the county did not reach
the million dollar mark, and the re-
markable showing at this time when
the banks of the entire country are
showing small decline instead of a
gain, is an added evidence of the
great prosperity that his visited this
section of the valley the past year.
The banks merely reflec. the gen
eral condition of the people and a
perusal of these statements will show
that the people as whole certainly
have a very comfortable balance on
the right side. This, however, is no
more than could be expected after
such a season as the past has been.
Prowers county's greatest crop, alfal-
ia, brought the highest price ever
paid for it, and yet the manufacturers
made good profit also. Wheat, an
other big crop, brought the best
price also. Sheep and hogs, other big
crops, broke all records for price,
while all other crops, even the rough
feed crops, brought prices that in
most cases have not been equalled for
years. 1t was a golden year for the
producer and no wonder the bank
deposits are swelled.

Donald Mcintosh

Donald Mcintosh, resident of Col
orado since 1875, and one of the states
well known capitalists and sheep
growers, died at his home in Denver
Sunday, March 4, 1917, aged 72 years,
after a short illness. He was laid to
rest in one Of the cemeteries of that
city on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Mcintosh was born in Inver-
ness, Scotland, and came to Colorado
fortytwo years ago. He entered the
services Of the Boston-C Colorado
Smelling Co. at Black Hawk, and
later became superintendent of the
plant in Denver. While en-
gagged in this business he became in
terssted in the sheep business with

PUEBLO DRAGGING
Lamar Will Soon Take First Place in
the Valley az a Trade Center

1t has reached the point in this
country where it is admitted that the
best barometer of business conditions
in any section is the sale of Ford
ears. Other cars have popularity in
places but the Ford is the one uni
versal best bet, and any time com
munity is prosperous the Ford sales
will rise in proportion.
The evidence of last month is there
fore strong that Lamar has outstrip-
ped all other towns of the valley in
business and is rapidly overhauling
Pueblo. The daily papers of Pueblo
have been making considerable brags
because the sales of Ford cars reach
ed the high water mark of rs in Pu-
eblo in February, but at the same
time the Sunday Garage in Lamar
sold 60 cars in the Lamar territory.
When Pueblo's claim of a population
of $4,000 in the county is taken into
consideration it will be seen that the
Lamar territory is far more populous
and much more prosperous than even
our own people have believed.
Mr.. Sunday is enlarging his plant
every few months to try to keep
abreast of the big sales of Fords, but
is continually running short of floor
space to accommodate his cars, al
though he sells them almost faster
than the company can supply them.
Material is now being put on the
ground for another big addition to the
plant, which is now one of the largest
institutions of our city.
The Pueblo papers seem to think
that the February sales are an evi-
dence Of real business and prosperity
there, but If they had sold in proper
ton to the Lamar sales they would
have had Denver outclassed. The con-
ditions here are more favorable than
ever before and it looks as il the
coming year would witness the biggest
boom In Lamar's history.

his brother, William Mcintosh, now
deceased. Some twenty years ago he
removed to Bent county and with his
brother, John Mcintosh the three
brothers engaged in the sheep grow
ing business on a large scale, and
from this and other investments he
amassed large fortune. Several
years ago the brothers disposed of
their large herds and thousands Of
iacres of leased lands. Two years
ago, with his wife and only child,
Janet, he removed to Denver.
MIR. Mcintosh was a reserved man,
but to those who came to know him
in daily life and in the privacy of
friendship, he was admired for his
manly qualities, strict honesty and
gentle manners. His word was his
bond, and to many hard pressed men
in financial affairs he gave freely a
helping and saving hand. He was
for many years a trustee of the first
Presbyterian church and served one

NEW CONGRESS
Special Session Called by the Presi-
dent to Meet April 16

President Wilson has been forced by
the dilatory tactics of the last con-
gress to call a special session of the
new congress to convene on April 10.
Nobody can guess even what the new
congress will do as the lower house
is without a majority for the first
time in over so years. The congress
elected in 1854 was unable to elect
speaker by a majority vote and finally
agreed to elect the man who received
the highest vote on the next ballot
and Nathaniel p. Banks was selected
The present congress now stands PA
republicans, PA democrats and 6 in
dependents, with one vacancy caused
by the recent death Of "a republican
elected from New Hampshire.
There have been many attempts
made to form combinations to con-
troll the organization, but there is no
evidence as yet that any success has
attended these attempts. One propos-
ed deal was for the republicans and
democratoc organization to throw in
together and reelect Speaker Clark,
and divide the Offices and committees
equally. This was to be done to pre-
vent the little squad Of independents
from obtaining the upper hand and
being able to dictate the patronage
and business of congress.
While the democrats have majority
sufficient in the senate to carry
through strictly party measures, there
are enough opponents of the Presi
dent among the democratic senator's
so that his personal dictation can no
longer control even that body.
