BRYAN's HOPE Being REALIZED

Pueblo Star-Journal:-
Natural causes are bringing about
what the eioquence and political abili-
ties of William Jennings Bryan could
not accomplish some years ago-put
silver on a par with gold. Bryan's
famous slogan Of 16 to bids fair to
be realized very quickly, as silver at
81, 1929 per ounce is the parity Of the
silver dollar with the gold dollar.
Silver undoubtedly will go much
higher and may reach what financiers
regard as the danger point when it
would pay private individuals as well
as the government to melt the dollars
for their silver contents. In Mexico
and France the price Of silver has
made the bullion value of coins exceed
the face values, with the result that
coins are being boarded or melted.
II silver reaches $1.3S23 psr ounce in
the Uuited States it will be profitable
to melt the dollars in circulation. This
condition seems likely to be brought
about. in consequence Of which the
country may face another silver issue
as intense as when Bryan was in his
greatest glory.
Already at Washington there is talk
of the government melting the silver
dollars and many bankers believe that
the government should take action to
prevent the price Of silver going be-
yond the parity point Of $1.2929 per
ounce. Colorado and other silver pro-
ducing states are vitality interested in
this matter and there will be vigorous
objection to any attempts on the part
of the government or others to force
down the price Of silver. The gov
ernment might be able to do so by
taking advantage Of the Pittman bill
Of 1918, which permits the melting Of
silver dollars and the sale Of the bull
lion by the government for the purpose
Of settling trade balances and to sup
ply commercial demands. The West
win object to being deprived Of the
advantages accruing from ths high
prfea of silver and win insist that the
law sf supply and demand be permit

TWO CURIOUS VEGETABLES

Paonian:-
One of the articles on display in
The Paonian's windows this week is
a huge beet weighing % pounds. 1t
was grown by William Spohr on his
ranch west of Paonia, and it is quite
certain to stand as the record for this
season.
A curiosity in The Paonian's win
dow this week, is New Guinea but
ter beam" grown by 7. NJ. Glib on his
mesa ranch, just west Of Paonia. This
vegetable is highly prized in New
Guinea, where it was once the sole
means of sustenance during famine
of all other foods. In warm cline,
this vegetable in three months attains
the weight of 25 pounds. 1t is cooked
in various ways, but usually is pre-
pared as the more common eggplant.

haulage and transportation problems
are quite as important right now az
the production of crops. This ma

Is designed as a practical means OF
proving motortruck efficiency to the
American people.
Each manufacturer concerned In the
run Is driving his truck to the farm

to perform over every type OF road
and under every condition In soft
fields. In other words, these build
ere are not merely proclaiming the
value of their commodity but are prov
Ing Its sturdiness and worth by actual
demonstration.
The need Of power wagons on the
farm is evidenced by the number al
ready owned and operated by Ameri-
can farmers. The potential market for
motortrucks In the farm field has not
until recently been given appreciable
attention by the big truck builders and
distributors. They have put forth
practically no effort to supply this
field but the farmers need of motor

NO REFUGE IN BANKRUPTCY
Melted Out to Men Unable to
Pay Their Debts

A curious custom was prevalent In
France during the sixteenth and sew
enteenth centuries. Anyone who found
It necessary to liquidate his affairs
WAS obliged to wear a green cap--n
humility to himself and a warning to,
others.
Those who made a hobby OF getting
rid Of their Indebtedness by way OF
the bankruptcy court should at all
costs steer clear Of China. Bank
ruptcles are almost unknown 10 that
country, as they entail Immediate ex
ecution.
A similar drastic punishment used
to be melted out to delinquent in
Japan.
To come nearer home, one need only
90 back to a little before the Act OF
Union to find that debtors In Scot
land were obliged to wear garments
OF diverse colors, suit Of gray and
yellow being the most common.
In Siam. a man unable to meet his
liabilities was put in chains and CONF
PEELED to work as a slave for his cred
itor. Should he escape his wife. chill
dren, father or other relative were
seized In his stead.
At one time bankrupts we're consid-
cred criminal offenders even in Eng
land. As matter OF fact certain
cases OF fraudulent bankruptcy have
incurred the death penalty In this
country. Any concealment Of books
or the secreting of property by
debtor was so punished Under this

He must remember to have the right
kind of crate ready in plenty Of time.
Many boys have failed to get their
pigs to the fair because, when the time
came to ship, there wae no crate. The
department has special sets Of specia-
cations for pig crates, calf crates and
others. A very important thing to re-
member in connection with the crate
Is that the pig grows at pretty rapid
clip. The crate must be built big
enough for the pig not when the crate
is made but allowing for growth be-
tween then and fair time. And 1t

member that the pig should not be fed

Prizes Are Not Al.
These are just few Of the things
that must be remembered In preparing
pig for the fair. And there are
equally many with regard to the calf,
or the dairy COW, or the poultry, or
any Of the things practically, that the
boy or girl, man or woman wants to
exhibit at the fair.
Even with all the care possible the
animal or other product may not be a
prize winner. There can't be prizes
for every exhibitor. The fair that tries
to arrange things SO that everybody

} much usually. 1t does not mean any

THE United States department of

PRIMARIES.

Eae another week passes by, the
primaries will be over. Next Tuesday
is the day the voters will decide upon
the men who are to represent them
upon the ticket at the coming Noyem-
Der election. There are opposition can
didates in the field for practically all
offices. The Pleasantville Press urges
its readers to use caution in marking
their ballots that they may have no
regrets at the result.
We believe hat the best interests OF
the party and of the people generally
lies in the success of the organization
candidates. We believe that the or
ganization used its best judgment in
the selection of Mr.. Bugbee as the can
didate for Governor. He is at present
the State Comptroller, and through his
excellent handling of the States funds
a surplus of many millions of dollars
is now in the State Treasury. He is
able, upright and intelligent, and will
make a Governor second to none the
State has ever had. Republicans, cast
your ballot for Newton A. K. Bugbee
for Governor on Tuesday next.
For State Senator, Hon. Charles D.
White was the unanimous choice of
the organization. Mr.. White is at
present one of the City Commission
ers of Atlantic City, and his record as
such is an enviable one. He is also
one of the proprietors of the MARI
ACKNOWLEDGMENT hotel, Atlantic City.
He is one of those progressive Republic
cans who believes in doing things, and
we believe he will make an able Sen
ator. Cast your ballot for Charles d.
White for State Senator.
For the House of Assembly, Hon.
William A. Blair and Joseph A. Corio,
Esq, have the backing of the organi-
cation. Mr.. Blair has proven his worth
during the past two sessions of the
Legislature. He is known in Trenton
dS d i've wife, dnu HIS pdoI CAPClE
ence will be a valuable asset to the
County's delegation. Mr.. Corio is a
young attorney. who has made good.
Born of poor parents, he has steadily
climbed the ladder to success, and it
was entirely on merit that the organi-
cation finally selected him to be the
running mate of Mr.. Blair. You will
make no mistake in casting your bal
lot for William A. Blair and Joseph A.
Cori0.
Altogether the above combination
should appeal to every Republican vot-
er who has the party's interests at
heart. They are all able. clean-cut
men, and will do honor to the County
and State.
Vote for Bugbee, White, Blair and
Corio.
