Blind to America

The depth of the Presidents misin-
formation on vital subjects affecting
his own country is truly astounding.
However intimate he may be with re-
spect to the affairs of Europe, he shows
complete ignorance of matters inti-
mately. related to the business Of
America. At the White House con-
ference Senator Lodge inquired of the
President as follows: Are we not
trading with Germany now, as a mat
ter of fact?" Mr.. Wilson's reply was,
mot so far as l know, sir"
On July l4th the Senate Department
issued a bulletin of which the follow
ing is an excerpt: "The War Trade
Board Section of the Department of
State announces that general enemy
trade license has been issued 2uthoriz-
ing all persons in the United States
on and after July IA, 1919, to trade
and communicate with persons resid-
ing in Germany" Exceptions were
made of dyestuffs, drugs, and chemi-
calls. Under that authority several
cargoes already have gone to Germany
from the United States, and New York
papers have contained advertisements
of ships about to sail for German
ports.
In view of those facts what becomes
of the Presidents contention that our
resumption Of business relations with
Germany awaits action by the Senate
on the peace treaty?

BEAT TWO UMPIREs
Lamar Boys Get Raw Deal From the
Sailors on Labor Day.

With the constant assistance of two
sailor umpires the Fort Lyon sailors
were able to nose out Lamar in the
valley championship contest on Labor
Day at the Fort by a score of ID to
13. The Lamar boys have been win
ming long string of victories and were
about to annex the scalp of the sailors,
who have been claiming the champion
ship of the valley since the demise of
the old valley league. The sailors did
not like the idea of giving up their
title, SO named both umpires for the
game and through their brilliant work
managed to get a decision which they
little deserved. Both teams are hard
hitting ones and the game became a
slugging match on both sides and the
heaviest hitters were winning hands
down when the umpires took hand
and helped the Fort out Of the hole
The Lamar team is playing a class Of
ball hard to beat now.
Quite large delegation of Lamar
ties was in attendance at the celebra-
ton, and enjoyed Ii long list of sports
and other attractions. There was a
large crowd from all sections of the
valley in attendance and it was a big
day for all.

Filling The SiIo

The corn, sorghum and other crop
similar to these should be allowed to
ripen before being cut for the silo,
but should be cut before any Of the
leaves dry and fall off. In other words,
let it ripen to a point that will give the
highest termination test Of the seed
without loss of leaves. The largest
percent of nutrients is formed during
the last two weeks preceding this
stage. When the crop is cut too early
it gives a low tonnage of dry matter
and low percentage Of digestible nu-
trients. In case of frost the sooner
the crop is cut the better.
The cutter knives should be well
sharpened and set SO as to make a
clean complete cut. This saves power
and gives better silage. When the
crop is partially shredded it does not
pack well, air cannot all be expelled
and the silage is likely to be Of an in
ferior quality.
The filling should not be too rapid
as there is a possibility that the silage
will not be well packed. At ordinary
rate of filling two good men should
be placed in the silo TO distribute, mix
and tramp the corn as it comes from
the cutter. To insure good silage every
phase of this work must be carefully
done. Good men only should be as
signed to this part of the operation.
Men who will take advantage of their
boss should not be put in the silo.
If the corn has been frosted or is
little dry when it is put into the siio

Executive Obsession

For the past nine MONTHS" says
Congressman Rodenberg OF illinois,
the Presidents mind has been absorb
ed by this idea of a league of nations.
He thinks of it all day and dreams
of it all night. In fact, in my judg-
mcnt, 1t has become sort of obses-
son with him. Ii there were Il famine
in China, drought in India, flood
in the Mississippi Valley, IN earth
quaAe IN Porto Rico, a volcanic erup-
ton in Central America, or IN epidem-
ic OF spinal meningitis in New York
City, the President by process of
reasoning that satisfied himself, at
least, convinces himself that the sole
contributing cause Was the i:Ilure to
adopt the league of nations"

Kicking Themselves

The democratic press is raising
big howl because a republican congress
has bills before it for appropriations
for over three million dollars for in
vestigations Of the high cost of living,
and denounce it as a steal. At that
they are pretty close to the truth for
them. They forget to mention that the
bills were prepared by official pets of
Mr.. Wilson and were introduced by
friends in congress Of the administra-
ton, and the graft all goes to friends
of the family. However, don't worry
that same republican congress will
kick the daylights out Of all of them.

Information Comes High

The High Cost Of Information is a
subject that might well receive some
attention from the taxpayers of this
country. The Department of Justice
wants million and half, the Feder-
al Trade Commission half million,
the Department of Commerce about
the same amount, and Department of
a little more than half a
and other governmental agen-
cies smaller amounts, the total Of three
and half millions being demanded
for economic investigations only. Those
are dixzling figures when compared

Larger Profits With Silage

The Iowa Experiment Station in feed
ing steers finds that full ration of
silage (52 pounds) and no corn gave
larger profits than u full ration of
corn and half ration of silage (27
pounds)' linseed meal and alfalfa hay
being fed to both lots of steers.
The lot that received u full ration
of shelled corn and half ration of
silage gave a profit per steer Of Sl5.S2
while the lot that received no shelled
corn and u full ration Of silage gave
a profit of S23.ll.
The farmers Of Iowa have been
building silos by the thousands and
in few years there will be one on
every farm in the state. The same
should be true in Colorado.-R. w.

KANSAS HORSE DISEASE

The Kansas horse disease, which
broke out in Colorado near Hartman
and Bristol about the middle of July,
has new spread east as far as Holly
west as far as Rocky Ford. and north
to the vicinity Of ordway. Reports
also Indicate that some trouble is be-
ing experienced in the eastern part of
the state in the vicinity Of Fort Nor
gan and Wray. II seems probable also
that few cases have appeared in the
San Luis Valley. In these latter stu
ations, the disease has, however, not
proven serious. The experience in the
epidemic seems to indicate that treat
ment given early is Of great value, so
that it behooves the stockmen to detect
the cases as early as possible. The
first symptoms are dullness and an ex-
hibition of wabbly gait on being
moved. In these districts stockmen
should see their horses at least three
times day and note whether any of
the animals are showing these symp-
toms. II so, a veterinarian should be
called at once, as it is only in the early
cases where treatment seems TO be of
much value. Do not under any cir
cumstances attempt to drench the ami
mails as in most instances the throat
is paralyzed and the medicine goes into
the lungs. This results in mechani-
cal pneumonia which always means

States Would Pay

In 1915 Australia had 2,263 miles
of railroad, of which 20,O62 was Gov
ernment- owned. The annual loss in
taxation on these state lines is about
Sl0,OOO,O0O. A relative loss of taxa
ton should the United States own our
265 900 miles of railroad would be
about Sl3O 900 900, which would have
to come out of our pockets in some
other fashion, to say nothing Of addi
tional expense to us arising out of
Government operation. The State of
New Jersey, for example, would have
to recast its entire system of taxation
if the Government owned the roads,
while the City of Baltimore, which has
provided for the laying out and up
keep of its entire system Of parks and
squares out of railroad taxation, would
be obliged either to let the system go
to weeds, or tax its citizens in some
other manner. Thousands Of similar
instances might be cited, all of which
weigh heavily in considering the rail
road problem.

Cost of Unpreparedness

Investigation OF ordnance expendi-
lures in the War Department by u
subcommittee of the House hrs reveal
ed the fact that only 4ol guns were de-
livered in France after expcncing ST.
1Sl ,lS2,S50. Only " American-made
guns reached the front. This would
mean that from the standpoint of re-
suits, for results could only be count
ed by the number Of guns actually en-
gagged in the fighting, each one of
these guns cost the Government about
SIS, 100000. Out Of the total Of 10000
guns of all descriptions contracted for
only 4,Os2 were finished at the sign
ing Of the armistice. only 4s1 had been
shipped to France and but " reach
ed the front. 1t was also Ehown by
the departments own figures, that the
result of the $3.l74 ,054 SAG. expended
for munitions was actual delivery Of
just enough shells to last little more

water should be added. The best way
this can be done is to connect a barrel
with the blower and allow a small
stream to enter and the water will be
blown up with the corn into the si.o.
Corn, a little dry, does not pack well
or keep well. Enough water should
be added to cause the corn to pack
well.
In sealing the silo, all that is nee
essary is to wet the corn thoroughly
and tramp it well. # this is done there
will be very small amount of spoil

news items in country weekly papers
a few years ago relative to automobiie
trims. which have since become obsolete
owing to their freduen.y. However,
readers of The Holly Chieftain VIII be
interested from this time on in read
ing of the flights of its aerial trans

when someone wishes to go to Denver,
Kansas City, Chicago or some other
place in hurry.

HAS NOT HAD
CROP FAILURE IN 10 YEARS
J. II. Lindsey Raises Excedllent Mel.
ons, Broom Corn, Wheat, Maize,
kafir and Feterits.

J. II. Lindsey, residing IL miles
south of Holly and one Of the most
thrifty and successful southside dry
land farmers, came in this morning
with small load Of watermelons.
muskmelons, and samples OF his field
and broom corn
Mr.. Lindsey's homestead, which he
filed on 10 years ago. when he came
from Kansas, is somewhat sandy and
well adapted to melons. The samples
he brought in today were pictures"
and The Chieftain is more than CRATE
full for three fine specimens including
both kinds Of melons.
Mr.. Lindsey has ten acres of fine
broom corn this year which he says
is maturing well. Some of his last
years crop was bought by the Lamar
broom factory and was reported to be
as good as brush which bought 5 ,00
per ton.
He has a good crop OF maize, Kafir
corn and had 20 acres II wheat this
year. Mr.. Lindsey made thiJ signi-
ficant statement this morning, that he
had not had a complete crop failure On
his homestead during the entire 10
years since he filed on it.-Holly

Taxation without Representation

Has familiar sound to Americans
even yet although the League of Ma
tions has supplanted the Declaration Of
Independence. Korea advances that
reason for its claims Of right to in
dependence from Japanese tyranny.
and the United States of America,
whose sole excuse for existence rests
on that principle, is under the League
of Nations bound to assist Japan in
putting down such Il rebellion. Nice
mess we are getting into.

with some records made by Republi-
cans. When Jonathan Bourne was put
at the head of the Committees to in
vestigate Railway Mail Pay and Fed
eral Aid to Good Roads, he was given
S25 900 for each undertaking and after
spending about two years on the wark
he turned more than half the money
back into the treasury. And his study
which resulted in enactment of the
