KAISER HOPED

PUNISHMENT
Realization He Must Pay Pen
atty Quite a Shock to
x-EmperOr.
Ameriongen. Tuesday, June "a

Ameriongen, Tuesday, June "a
(By the Associated Press.)
News of Germany's decision to ac-
cept the peace terms, including the
clause providing for the delivery of
the former German emperor to the al
lies, reached the castle late yesterday
evening. Exactly how the former en-
peror was affected by the tidings can
not be ascertained, but the attitude
of members of his party gives rise to
the belief that the news was a consid-
cradle shock.
When the associated Press Cores
pendent talked with attendants they
declared the news was already known
at the castle. They made the most
scathing criticisms of the German
national assembly for it's action.
Evidently, they had held to the hope
that some way would be found for
the former emperor to return to Ger
many. Now, however, It apparently
is realized that he is exiled forever
from his country.
The former monarch resumed his
customary log saving at the usual
hour.

i. S. of 4 Cents
On Railway Ticket

Texarkana, June 25.-Accused. of
defrauding the government out of 4
cents special tax on railroad ticket,
J. E. Petty of Naples, Texas, was
held under bond of $500 to await the
action of the federal grand urjy, after

The complaint charges that Petty
desired to travel by rail from Naples
to Slower, Tex, but instead of pur-
chasing ticket all the way, bought
one for rs cents to station between
Naples and Slower, got off and pur-
chased another ticket from that sta
ton on to Slower, which cost him but
Is cents, he thereby escaped the pay
ment of the per cent war tax which
obtains on all railway tickets cost
ing more than rs cents.
1t is claimed this method of avoid
ing payment Of the special tax is prac-
ticed by many who travel between
near railway points.

C0xey Has Remedy
for Unemployment

Washington, June 25.-Jacob S.
Coxey of Massaillon. Ohio, who in
1894 led his famous "army of unem-
ployed" to the capitol, appeared be-
fore the house banking and currency
committee today to advocate legisla
ton which he said would end unem-
ployment but after he had distrubu-
ted copies of pamphlet to members
the committee adjourned suddenly.
The publication discussed various
proposals for correcting conditions of
unemployed and contained this final
passage:
Cor failing in this peaceful and de-
sirable mode, then revolution, think
it over; is there anything else left for
us to do?
Coxey told the committee revolution
was not meant but he refused to ex.
plain just what he did mean.

DON'T CANCEL THAT
SILo CONTRACT
II Is Doub bly, Needed in Time of Drouth
How Silo Saved One Farmer.

Many farmers who have let contracts
for silos are cancelling them because
of the drouth. X. w. Clark, Of the
Colorado Agricultural College, says:
1.-The main object of the silo is to make
the most of feed and when there is q
shortage of it, the silo is most valuable
and indispensable. Silos have been
successfully filled with nearly all kinds
of crops and weeds and in time OF
drouth many farmer who otherwise
would have had to sell his herd, has
been able to retain it.
II know a farmer who, in the win
ter Of 1867 saved his home and kept
his family together by the use of
I0x30 pit silo. Had it not been for
this silo he would have had to sell his
herd and left home to work, in order
to support his family. He put what
corn he had in the silo and then com
pleted filling it with odds and ends Of
green stuff from his farm. including
weeds.
''If there was ever one time more
than another when a silo is needed it
is during the time of drouth. When
feed is short, scarce and high in price.
every pound of it should be preserved
and made to retain its nutritive value.
Lots of farmers who can afford
silos and who can pay cash for them
are eancelling their contracts, because
of the drouth. This is particularly
true in northern Colorado. This is the
time of times for them TO build silos
A silo well put up will more than add
its cost to the value Of the farm and
will pay for itself in from one TO three
years. We have lots of letters from
owners of silos confirming this state
ment.
where conditions are right in the
soil. pit silos may be constructed A
pit silo will pay for itself the first
year when the farmer has the feed
and the stock.
This being the situation, silo build
ing in Colorado should continue until
late in the season this fall"

What is An Anarchist?

Interesting testimony is being heard
at the trial of the Ford libel suit
against the Chicago Tribune for ST.
900 900, because of an editorial pub
lished in that paper headed, Ford is
an Anarchist" The head of the edi-
torial department, when asked why he
approved the characterization Of Mr..
Ford as an anarchist" gave the fol-
lowing reply:
Because at time when the United
States was in grave danger he advo-
Gated the destruction Of our army and
navy; because he said he did not be-
lieve in patriotism; because, with the
world in flames, he opposed prepared
ness; because he said the flag should
be pulled down; and because he said
that soldiers were murderers."
That representation of the man.
seems to be borne out by his published
statements during the war. Yet he is
the Individual whom Mr.. Wilson want
ed elected to the Senate, utterly re-
gardless of his stand on Americanism,
and solely because his presence in that
body would mean one more Democrat
ic vite. But the good people Of Mich
igan thought otherwise and elected
Senator Newberry, who had been on
active duty as an officer in the Navy
since the outbreak of the war, and
who refused to leave his post even
while the Michigan campaign was at
its height.

1919 SPRINGFIELD FAIR

Doc Emerson, the Baca county pion-

fair, was in Lamar this week inviting
all his old time friends to attend the
Annual Fair at Springfield on Septem-
Der 1S, 19 and 20. 1t is going to be
big reunion occasion for the old time
pioneers and hundreds of them from
others sections have already promised
to join in the homecoming celebration.
The crops of the county were never
better than this year and never before
was there anything near as much land
in cultivation. The exhibits are going
to be something worth while and the
program of amusements and sports
will be immense. Doc says no letters
of regrets will be accepted-all you
will be allowed to do is come and have
the time of your life. He says Spring
field now has electric lights, all night
restaurants and other metropolitan ac-
cessories that make it unnecessary for
you to sleep unless you want to. Citi-
zens who have been away as long as
six months won't recognize the old
town when they get there, but Doc
will be on hand to see that they don't
get lost or miss anything in the line
of hospitality-and that is 'nuff said
for those who know him.

to barter the rights of nations, to sell

at has been a psychological drama,
as President Wilson believes, perhaps
sincerely, that he incarnated not only
the aspirations of America, but also
the aspirations of Europe. Instead,
President Wilson, despite his pure in

turns to America leaving behind him
a chaos of disorder, passions and dis
illusions, since he could not conclude
peace according to his principles, but
made compromise brought about by

"The Shepherd of The Hills. "

As wholesome and refreshing as a
mountain breeze on a spring day is
the story unfolded in the picturiza-
tion of Harold Bell Wright's celebrat-
ed novel, "The Shepherd of The Hills"
which come to the Opera House, July
81 and August /.
Through it all runs n sentiment OF
buoyant optimism and sturdy faith
in the finer qualities of human nature
that is splendidly inspiring in its effect.
So simple in outline, yet so true to the
rugged but sincere human nature it
portrays is "The Shepherd Of The
Hills" that its popularity is readily
explained 1t deals intimately with
the homely lives of the Ozark dwellers
when luxury was unknown and when
rough hard work of pioneer existance
was met with fortitude and industry.
In its heart warming fashion, it tells
of the stranger who comes to the little
community from more pretentious
life and how from a simple tender OF
sheen he becomes a shepherd Of men.
With such splendid subject matter
as this, the scenes follow each other
in Kaleidoscope variety, forming
picture drama which is being viewed
by thousands of theatre-goers with
wonder and intense interest.

to follow the shifting estimate of the

kind when he left our shores to take

achieving the success of his personally
contrived plan to reflect glory on him

Colorado will not lose the majority
of her county agricultural agents as
has been feared for the last six months
This important work was widely ex-

of the war with funds made available
by the national war emergency appro-
priation. Until 4 short time ago
there was considerable doubt as to
whether the national congress would
pass legislation which would make it
possible to continue the work. The
agricultural bill which passed June 30
carried an appropriation Of 81 SOC, 900
for this character Of work in the Unit
