Ianan Makes Hay.

Professor Bellesort, an eminent
French student of Eastern affairs
says that Japan is the only nation that
has benefited from the war. that sh'
has built up enormous textile and
chemical industries, and that "onco
started in this direction Japan rcsolv-
ed to acquire complete economic in
dependence" This French authority
merely confirms the information COM
ing from many other sources. In
maintaining an economic independence,
Japan has many advantage over such
nation as the United States. tho
chief of which is the willingness Of
her people to work long hours for los
wages. Our people are not and should
not be willing to do that. Af;er tho
war, Japan will turn her largely de
veloped inductries to competition will
the industries Of America, and will
seriously invade our markets unless
we do one of two things-either ap-
proximate the Japanese wage scale
or set up n protective tariff barrier
We shall not do the first. If we dc
not resort to the latter, we shall buy
Japanese goods and pay for them with
good American money.
In justice to Japan. it should be add.
ed that her extraordinary profit from
the war has not been due to any re-
luctance on her part to bear her share
of the burdens. She has repeatedly
offered and is now offering her man
power in the war against PrussiaE
militarism, and she is not to be con
demned if she is forced to keep hei
men in factories instead of on ths
firing line.

ARTIFICIAL FEEDING WILL
SAVE CATTLE SUFFERING
FROM MYSTERIOUS DISEASE
Stock in Eastern Colorado Stricken by
Unusual Malady-Become Blind
and are Unable TO Eat or
Drink.

A disease among cattle not previous
ly reported appeared last summer in
Eastern Colorado. 1t has appeared
again this summer and is becoming
quite serious. Cattle, one after an
other in herd become blind and are
unable to eat or drink. Investigation
of the disease in the dry-land districts
of otero county recalled quite Il seri-
Gus condition.
There is apparently paralysis Of the
optic nerve and the tongue, without
inflammation of these or adjacent or
gans There is congestion. of the brain
with but very little if any fever. Ami
mails arc unable TO eat or drink but
if food is placed back in the mouth
they will masticatc it with avidity
and swallow it without difficulty. If
water is poured into the mouth they
can easily swallow it and will give
evidence Of wanting more.
We do not know the cause of this
condition but bad water and scarcity
of food would seem to be contributory
factors. 1t has been learned that if
animals are fed artifically and water
ed for few days that they almost
invariably recover, otherwise they us
ually die. No poisonous plants were
found that could be considered respon-
sible.
In the absence Of definite inform
alton respecting this disease we can
only suggest at this time that plenty
of feed and pure water are most es-
sential and that most animals may
be saved by artificial feeding.-Geo.

Beans are very sensitive to arsenic,

BEAN BEETLE WILL DAMAGE
CROP UNLESS DESTROYED
Has Made Appearance in Bean Fields
of Staie-Method of Control.

The spotted bean beetle is doing
elious damage to the bean crop in
many localities. This is a difficult
insect to control. The methods are
given below. Use the one that best
fits your conditions.
In small garden patches, go over
the plants every two or three days,
examine the underside of the leaves
and destroy the beetles, which are
rusty brown in color with many small
black spots on their backs; or their
young. which are light yellow in color.
Also destroy all the egg patches which
are on the under side of the leaves.
In large patches, much can be done
by brushing the beetles and their
young upon the ground in the hottest
part of every warm day.
Spraying the plants with one pound
Of arsenite of zinc and one pound of
freshly Stacked lime, to fifty gallons
Of water, gives very good protection.

In every state visited by National
Chairman Will II. Hays, there has
been manifested the most cordial will
ingness among republicans to get to-
gether and work in harmony for the
best interests of the nation, and con-
sequently, of the party. Mr.. Hays is
giving expression to the spirit every
where manifested by republicans. that
the first duty of every man is to
speed the war to victory words that
are abundantly supported by the deeds
of republicans in and out Of Congress

Instead of no politics at all as some
people expressed a desire to see it
now looks as if there was to be i
grand free for all race for the official
promotions this fall. Both parties
hold their assemblies on Friday of this
week and the large list of candidates
for most all of the positions indicates
that not only will each party have 4
full ticket in the field, but that the
primary election will be as warmly
contested as the election. Running for
Office is one of the inestimable privi-
leges of every free born American and
the privilege is going to be exercised
this year with such zest that it looks
like some Of our citizens fear Kaiser
Bill will take the privilege away from
us, and they want to get in and get
their feet wet while the getting is
good.

Let not Henry Ford vaunt himself
too highly. In 1911 Woodrow Wilson
then Governor Of New Jersey and
dreaming of future greatness, ordain-
ed that one James MARITIME should bo
made United States Senator from New
Jersey. And behold! it was so. But
before MrMartine had completed more
than scant half Of his Senatorial
term his creator had turned upon him
and sought to rend him. The final
job of rending was attended to by the
republicans of New Jersey, but not
before Mr.. MARITIME had demonstrated,
to his own satisfaction, at least, that
Woodrow Wilson was rot the whole
thing, even in the democratic party OF
his own state.

elect a majority Of the next congress
upon the issue of the marrow sec

this should be added the eorollary-

Reimburements for N. G. Costs

Washington, July 9-(Special cor
respondence)-The several states are
to be reimbursed for their costs in
equipping, subsisting, paying, and
transporting men who have been ac-
cepted into the armed forces Of thc
United States if Il bill introduced by
Congressman Andrew j. Nolstead of
Minnesota becomes law. The moas-
ure is drawn to cover a period of five
years prior to its passage, and is in
tended to apply to the National Guar
that was in the Federal Service along
the Mexican border, and TO rails
men for the war with Germany. Many
states have been similarly reimbursed
for expenses incurred by them during
the Civil War. and the measure pro-
posed by Mr.. Volstead carries out tho
spirit of former legislation relating
to that conflict. The bill is now in
the hands of the committee on the
judiciary, of which Mr.. Volstead is the
leading republican member, which fact
indicates that early action ON it may
be expected.
