that paper devotes just proportion

other farmers take it. 1t is pub
lished in small community, perhaps
the majority of its subscribers are
farmers. They have right to insis.
that it cater to their interests in q
fair proportion.
The editor makes his living by CIV
ing the people what they want. Some
times it is hard for him to find out
what that is. You can help him by
expressing transportation of agri-
cultural items which he publishes.
II he finds that people are reading
his rural columns and approaching
them, he will devoe more of his pa

up to you. Don't make him work in
the dark. Drop him a letter or call
him up on the telephone and tell him
that you like his paper and think that
his farming notes are the best thing
in it. He'll print more of them. If
your local paper carries nothing of
rural interest, it is your own fault.

The Denver Post is very much ex-
cised over the proposed bill now be-
fore the legislature affecting the IL
bel law. The present law makes it
possible for newspaper to attack a
mans character and say all manner
Of things about him to dis credit him
in the eyes of the people, as long as
the editor acted in good faith and
believed them to be true, and did it
in the "belief that he was doing the
public service thereby" The bur-
den Of proof is on the plaintiff, to
prove the fslsity Of the statements
and that they were maliciously pub
lished. The new bill .leaves it up to
the editor to prove the truth of his
assertions and also to prove that
they were not printed maliciously
One can easily see why the Post is
80 bitterly opposed to the new bill.
Some are also wondering whether
the pending bill has had anything te
do with the "tameness" Of manner
in which the Post alludes to the pres
ent legislature, which for Stiffness
seems to have "Twaddling Invent
ieth" and the SILLY Twenty-first'
beaten to whisper.

achievements abroad until we get
pust the stage Of idealism and have
an opportunity to see them put into
practice?
It now developes that the League
of Nations has a much broader field
of operation than merely to settle
disputes between nations and en-
force peace. 1t will be an agency
for promoting international COM
merc,; for equalizing the distribu-
ton of food supplies, SO that Their
will be no more famine in isolated
countries; to establish standard and
equitable wage scales in the world
SO that competitor between countries
in the markets Of the. world would
be eliminated to certain degreA
In fact, there is little to be criti-
cised from the standpoint of doing
something foA humanity. Any other
view, in our humble opinion, is born
Of innate selfishness.

REDUCTION UNDERSTOOD

Owing to the fact that the gov
eminent accumulated something like
SOC, 100000 pounds Of copper during
the war. and further fact that the
demand for the red metal has fallen
off, it is incumbent upon the pro-
ducers of the United States either
to reduce wages or shut down their
mines and mills. After a conference,
in which mine owners, government
officials and representatives of the
union participated, it was decided
that the adoption of the former
course would be for the best interest
Of all concerned. The government has
agreed not to break the market, and
will allow the producers to supply
nine-tenths of the copper demanded,
khus insuring work for the miners.
Prices, however, are declining, and it
is no longer possible to pay the war
scale. This being the case, a reduc-
ton in wages was inevitable if the
properties continued in operation in
the face of limited demand. The
miners, being in full possession Of
all the facts in the case, have accept
ed the situation with good grace in
Utah and elsewhere, for they realize
that shutdown was one of the al
Tentative propositions. In the opinion
of Charles H. Meyer, president of the
International Union of Mine, Mill
and Smelter Workers, the producers
have done the right thing.
The l. W. w. element has attem-
pied to cause some trouble as usual
hut will find as little sympathy as
it did in the Seattle strike failure.
Common sense and level head will
get more results now than the re-
evolutionary methods of the Reds.

BUREAU OF MARKETS ASSIST
IN DISTRIBUTING ONION CROP

The Colorado office of Markets,
maintained by the United States
Bureau of Markets and the Extension
Division of the Colorado Agricul-
tural College, was established for the
purpose of assisting in the marketing
and distribution of Colorado's agri-
cultural products. The activities Of
this office last fall in connection with
the distribution of the large Colorado
onion crop, and the results accom-
plished by the work., are Of interest.
Conditions Last Fall-The move
ment Of the 1918 Colorado onion
crop was exceedingly slow up to No
yember 1, at which time but 81 cars
of Colorado onions had been moved,
compared with 1876 cars moved in
1917 for the same period. In brief,
there had been but one-half the move
ment in 1917 compared with the
shipments in 1917. These conditions
are verified by the Weekly Carlot
Summary Report, issued by the
United States Bureau of Markets,
November ]. 1918.
Action raken-After careful
study Of the situation, this office
early in November sent tout over
1000 circulars to Colorado onion
growers and dealers, suggesting that
they get in touch with the Branch of.
| fices of the Bureau of Markets, in the
FOLLOWING large terminal markets;
Omaha, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth
Dallas, Chicago, Kansas City, New
Orleans, Memphis and Houston. Let.
tiers were sent to the men IN charge
Of these offices asking their cooper
alton in giving publicity through the
press and to the trade of the large
supplies of onions on hand in Colo
RADIO and in placing Colorado growers
and dealers in touch with reliable
dealers on these markets.
Onion Conditions in Other Sec
tions-A noticeable increase in the
weekly shipments of oniona followed
this campaign to apprise the southern
dealers of the stock Of Colorado
cnions then on hand. Conditions il
other states were also favorable fol
the movement of the Colorado crop
as much of the California stock hat
gone into storage and the Minncsot'
onion crop was practically moved.
Results Accomplished and Presen
Conditions Of Colorado Onion Crol
AT the present time. the 1911
Colorado onion crop is over four
fifths marketed. In the three months
of November, December and January
100 ears have been shipped. comp"r
cd with 81 shipped Inst seuson fo'
the same period. The handicap 81
100 per cent hns been PRACTICAL!
overcome and the Weekly Cnrlo'
Summary Report shows that Colo
rudo to February list Of this yea
had shipped 1872 cars compared witt
1877 cars in the snme period last year

LEAGUE OF NATIONS AT LAST
A SETTLED FACT

At LAST, the thing, which the peo
pie hoped for, but few believed te
be possible, has come to pass-tht
League of Nations is now a settled
fact. President Wihon, who Wal

iertaking, having completed his Ia

thusiasm of the populace Of Brest
The presidents first speech will be

SUP George Washington, making q
port there en- the return trip to New
York.
Again the obstructionists have
met with disappointment bnd the
presidents political opponents are at
a loss to know what the next issue
upon which they can attack him, will
be. They were cock sure they had
him in q corner when he left the I'm
tied States and sailed away on this
World Peace mission. They said he
was in small business" and had bet
ter remain at home to help run the
Congress, which, by the way. has ap-
parently done very little in his abb
sence-possiDly having method in its
madness.
While it remains to be seen what
the success Of his mission may mean
to the world, yet this one thing il
certain-he did what he believed to
he right and just to all peoples.
The significant thing is--he &C.
.omplished the thing he went after
lust as he has accomplished every
other big thing-and this in the face
Of the worst opposition being from
his own people. This opposition,
however, has had more Of the, per
sonal nature than Of any real oppo-
sition to the idea, itself. Many have
been In the position of the doubt
ing Thomas" honestly, while Others
expressed the doubt backed by the
hone that that doubt" would be ex
smpiified in utter failure. Many
however. have been with the presi
dent in their hopes and in their sup
plications to that Great Prince Of
Peace. If they doubted, they hop
ed that those doubts would be sweep
aside by actual realization Of thci'
hopes.
The doubters were to be found IL
high places and in low alike. Man,

ans and students Of international nj
