Numerous reports OF big yield
of marketable crops in the PrOwers-
Baca country far south of the river
had produced the impression that
that region received much more
moisture than we got in this part
Of the valley. In many cases an acre
OF groond turned out goods of twice
the value I the acre itself. Now
comes the weather observations for
the year, the total being only 12.46
inches. This is small fraction less
precipitation than we had at
Pueblo. and it is of considerable
Importance as an Illustration and
lesson in dry farming. If the south
east corner of the state did so well
with stingy allowance OF moisture
other localities receiving the same
amount ought to make better show

STORY ABOUT A HEAD OF HAIR

Holland probably wants to be neutral, because
she's too poor to fight, but if she is, Germany will
take her sand and gravel away from her, and, if
she isn't the British navy will take her colonies.
The business of being neutral is becoming daily
more difficult and distressful, and Hollands diem
ma strongly reminds US of Story About a Head
Of Hair, which the late Mr. Aesop was very fond of
relating. You see, Mr. Aesop was Phygian slave
in the time of King Croesus, and occasionally, had
to spin story to suit both Mr.. and Mrs. Croesus,
or go to Jail. &c. when he found himself in this
neutral, or Hollandish, predcament he would pull
yarn about like this to excuse himself, which,
you'll have to admit, was mighty pat:
A middle-aged man became gone on two sweet
hearts, one of whom was spinster of experience
and years standing, the other young and buxom
movie actress considerably his junior. Them was
the happy days when middle-aged men were
choked with personal courage, and there was II

THE SALVATION ARMY

Perhaps, in the old days when war and your
home town seemed as far apart as Paris, France
and Paris ILL.,, you were a superior person who
used to smoker when you passed street corner
where small Salvation Army band was holding
forth. Perhaps-Heaven forbid you-you even
sneered little when you heard the bespectacled
sister in the poke bonnet bang her tambourine and
raise shril voice to the strains of "Oh, death,
where is thy sting gazing" Probably-unless you
yourself had known the bitterness of one who
finds himself alone, hungry and homeless in big
city-you did not know much about the Salvation
Army. w..
Well, we are all homeless over here and every
American soldier will take back with him new
affection and respect for the Salvation army.
Many will carry with them the memories of a
cheering word and friendly cruller received in
one of the huts nearest Of all to the trenches.
There the old slogan of Soup and Salvation" has
given way to "Pies and Piety." It might be
"Doughnuts for Doughboys." These huts, pitched
within the shock of the German guns, are RAM
shackle and bare and few, for no organization can
grow rich on the pennies and nickels that are
tossed into tambourines at the street-corners of
the world. But they are doing work that the
soldiers themselves will never forget and it is an
especial pleasure to say so here, because the Sal
walton Army, being much too simple and old
fashioned to know the uses of advertisement, have
never asked us to-. You, however, can testify for
them. Perhaps you do in your letters home. And
surely when you are back there and you pass once

A COURAGEOUS CANDIDATE

In declining the Nonpartisan leagues endorse
ment of his candidacy for the state senate James
Cumming, of East Grand Forks puts his finger on
the fatal defect Of the leagues poicy-its purpose
to array class against class Said Mr. Cumming
in his letter: a
In all my past, as citizen and as member Of
the legislature have opposed any favoritism to
any class of people, and l am opposed to any plan
which seeks to, may, array one class OF our peo-
pie against another. believe the farmers can or
ganize and promote their interests without antag-
onizing any other class of people.
The socialists who conceived and organized the
Nonpartisan league and control it as it it were
their own personal property, have from the outset
tried to persuade the farmers that they should be
Ishmaelites with their hand against every man
and every mans hand against them. The program
offered for farmer support is designed to make of
those who till the soil privileged class, bearing
minimum of the burdens Of taxation, and enjoying
special favoritism. Even the small town mer
chant is to be deprived of his livelihood by means
Of stores ostensibly cooperative, but actually the
property of the leagues inner circle.
Mr. Cumming is farmer, but that does not
prevent him from being an American citizen and
Minnesotan first. He conceives Of this common
wealth, it is safe to say, as made up of all kinds
Of citizens, engaged in all manner OF pursuits
with correlative and nterconneoted interests, and
all marching forward together toward a greater
prosperity and larger usefulness in the union
Not by emphasizing class distinctions not by an
tagonizing those engaged in one pursuit against
those engaged in others, but by policy of inteli-
gent justice to all, shall Minnesota be advantaged
Another reason also strongly influenced Mr..
Cumming to decline the endorsement of the league,
though he has himself been a member thereof
That is his we'll grounded doubts of the loyalty
not of the farmer members, but of the manage
ment of the league. He reads Of the conviction Of
officers of the league on charges of disoyalty, but
he has mot yet observed that any of the persons
so convicted have lost their positions officers"
He adds:
In view of the atmosphere which surrounds the
management of the Nonpartisan league, man.

had voice or a vote, must at this time, because
am determined that my loyalty shall be above
suspicion, decline the Endorsement.

to lollygag, and she would always notice that ne
had dark hairs in his head This worried her, as
she thought it de trop to have sweetheart who
appeared younger than she, and so she pulled out
all the dark hairs she could, with pleasure and
cunning little wiles to make him sit still for it.
However, when he called on his young, fresh,
beautiful and gay sweetheart, and she roasted on
him and lovingly wound her arms around his
neck, as the beautiful and gay ones often do, she
noticed that his head was becoming grayer and
grayer every visit he made her. Of course, she
didn't want the other girls to think that she could
land only an old, snow-headed geezer, and so she
pulled out all the gray hairs she could patting his
cheeks and calling him her "dear boy" etc., as
they do to keep 'em quiet while they're being
plucked.
Well, before the man could make up his mind
which to marry he was as bald as an egg-cup, and
