Annual Meeting of Stockmen.

The Dolores -Montezuma Counties
Cattlemen's Association held their
annual meeting in the Town hall at
this place Friday. The president and
vice president were both absent and
j. H. Trimble was chosen chairman.
The minutes of the last meeting were
approved as read.
The officers present were Harry V.
Pyle, secretary treasurer; Jess Robin
son and John K. Trimble, members of
the advisory committee.
The following members of the Forest
Department We're present by invitation
c. f. Steward, Harry Kaufman, r. r.
Thomson and D. S. Thomas.
The report of the secretary treasurer
was read and placed on file.
The matter of placing salt on the
summer range came up for discussion
nd the chair called on Forest Ranger
Thomson who outlined the situation as
it appeared from the view point of the
Forestry Department. Forest Super
visor C. E. Stewart then advised that
the stock association take up the mat
ter of handling all salt for this division.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the association.
Forester r. R. Thomson explained
fully the Importance of all stockmen
being members of the association as
the Forest Department could not take
as affective action on individual COM
plants as they could on complaints
coming through the stock association.
If all stockmen would profit by his
advice, join the association and attend
the meetings they would get results in
matters of longer seasons for turning
out stock, etc. The Forest Serve is
anxious to adjust all differences to the
satisfaction of everyone concerned if it
is possible to do so, but all complaints
should come through the association S
advisory board.
Ranger Kaufman discussed Forestry
conditions and concured in the remarks
of Mr.. Thomson and Mr.. Stewart.
The annual meeting of the associa-
ton was changed to the first week in
January. This change in time was
made so that all matters of Importance
to come up before permits were issued
could be acted upon in time to affect
conditions for the coming year.
R. R. Thomson suggest that date
be fixed upon which stray cattle from
all parts the district be collected
together and turned over to the owners.
This, with a social event in connection,
Would be of great benefit to the stock
business.
The levy for the coming year was
placed at q cents a head, and the secre-
tary was instructed to collect that
amount.
The matter of range dispute between
Virden and Void was referred to the
advisory committee and the Forestry
Department.

ing will probably be held in Mancos.

Food in France.

 Ill the first week of March about 300.0 tons of provisions arrived in Paris, most of it to the order of the food ministry. Large sheds in va rious sections Of the city have been hired, and the food will be sold at cost. Supplies will be sent by spe- cial trains to the other large cities. I is expected that the dumping of this large quantity of foodstuffs at cost into consumers laps will com pei an indirect lowering of other food and comma oditv prices, The French governm ent like every other govern nent, finds it difficult to wage a cam paign against high priced, home grown food, for the agrarian interest is too strong. Ky using imported foods for the purpose, it avoids the political responsibility, and yet forces down both retailers margins and the producers price levels. A scientific daily ration for a work:n gman worked out by a comm ission costs 65 cents in Paris 42 cents in New York and 35 cents in London.
 As the Ontario governments fish distribution scheme proved to us, governments can, if they will, and if the need exists step into the food business and by direct action assist the consumer. The best field is in the bringing in of large quantities of a certain food. and the distribu- tton of it. directly, or through regu- lar cham e?s at a small, fixed charge. Both the British and French food authorities have repee tedly worked along this line. in 8 small way, and the result has been the growth of a sustained demand for continuance of the practice.

Will Congress Meet?
(Sprin gfield Republican,

Republican statesmen killing time between sessions in Washington are prolific in new int expectations of the constitution calculated to knock Will son into cooked hat. One is that congress may call itself into extra session whenever the majority of the two houses get ready to convene Of to justEfy the action but, it is argued. the afoNasad majority may pass iudg- ment on the gravity of the emergency. All this notwithstanding the explicit statement of the constitution that the president may, on extraordinary oc- casions, convene both houses, or either of them" The power is con- ferred upon him exclusively. Senator Lenroot comes forward, also, with the oWel suggestion that since congress has the constitutional power to de- clare war. it also has the power to declare peace, although the cOnsti- tuition cOnfers on congress no such power and never has congress as- sumed that it had such power. Peace making is such a different process from declaration of war, necessarily involving the exercise of the treaty. making and diplomatic functions of the president that the framers of the constitution saw the absurdity of the position which Senator LenroOt now sees fit to take.

Dangers beset the pathway of those who criticise the vaudeville stage for it's lax morals.

ANOTHER LODGE SHIFT.
1 Senator Had Different Views of Pres idents Views. Under Roosevelt.

(From speech by Senator Lodge on l the floor of the senate chamber on ! January "A, 1916):
 { NO one, I think. can doubt the absolute power of the president to in ] ltlate and carry on all negotiations; i and after a treaty has been returned to him with the ratification of the ! senate, to withhold it from ratifica- 1 ton if he sees fit so to do. There is no doubt that the senate can by reso- luton advise the president to enter upon negotiation. or advise the , president to refrain from d negotia- 1lon; but those resolutions have no ; binding force whatsoever, and the ac- ton of the senate becomes operative i and actually effective only when a treaty is actually submitted to it.. We have no possible right to break sud denly into the middle of a negotiation and demand from the president what Instructions he has given to his rep rcsentative.
 From the foundation of the gov crnment it has been conceded in practice and in theory that the con- %titUtion vests the power of negotia- 1jon and the various phases-and . 1heN arc multifariouS-of the con- Guct of our foreign relations ecxlu- : :',vely in the president He does not exercise that constitutional power, nor can he be made to do it, under the futclage or guardianship of the sen ate O. of the house, or of the sen 2te and house combined When he shall have negotiated and sent his proposed treaty to the sen ate the jurisdiction of that body at

 because the war is over nothing fur

 reality the situation is just the re-
 verse. for, much as land girls were
 needed during the war, they are still
 more urgently required now particu-
 larly skilled workers. Girls who put
 up with the monOtony of office routine
 during the war have now an oppor-
 tunity of enlSting in the Land Army
 and of doing work which, from the
 health point of view, is distinctly ben
 eficial, and from the standpoint of
 pleasure, infinitely more interesting
 than their previous occupations. Girls
 who like agricultural work need have
 no fears of unemploym The Food Production departm ent has received requests for women as mole-catC ers and bee-keepers. A hedging course has been started for Land Army girls in Monm outhshire. He'd ging and ditching are keeping many girls busy when field tasks cannot be under taken. Thatchers have been busy in , all parts of the country, and a large
 part of last years corn harvest was got in by girls
 "Other employments, apart from direct agricultural work. in which women have been engaged are road repairing and the collection of fir cones for seed purposes. The train 1 ing of girls in tractor work has re- ! suited in an increase of availa ble l drivers for the land directly the weather allows cultivation to proceed l There is colossal task awaiting the 1 land girl this spring and summer.

 Today, when a syndicate offers that sum to the mayor for the right to build IA l00O-foot piers on the main channel of Jamaica Bay, to use these piers for 50 years and then to let the property revert to the city. there is serious question whether the offer is large enough, in view of the obliga- tions which it's acceptance would i'm pose upon the city.
