FINE FAIR WEATHER
Rains Put Roads in Good Condition
To Reach Springfield-Lamar
Day, September Il.

Reports from Springfield are to the
effect that the rains Of the past few
days have put both the roads and fair
grounds in fine shape and everything
is in readiness for the biggest fair
Baca county has ever had. A fine
band will be present, splendid exhib-
its are being placed and good races
are assured. More strings Of relay
horses are already entered than ever
before. 1t is expected that Lamar will
send big delegation and the hustling
citizens of Springfield promise to see
that all have a grand big time.
The fair dates owing to the rain
were postponed one day making Sep
tember 10. 20, and 81. Sunday, Sep
tember 81, will be Lamar Day at the

A fine lunch was served after lodge

of new home most apparent to all
and many hundreds Of dollars worth

Japan Wins American Trade

To those who think that there is no
need to fear trade rivalry following
the war, and that the United States
may safely pursue watchful waiting
policy, the latest statistics of trade
with the Orient arc respectfully refer
red. These figures Indicate tl-at Jap
an is not only vigilant in international
politics but in international trade. And
she has not neglected her opportuni-
ties offered in America under the Dem
ocratic tariff law.
In June last we imported from Jap
an goods to the value of $4,000, 900
and in July to the amount of s39 900. :
600, an increase of $4,000. 900. In the
same month we suffered loss Of ex-
ports to Japan to the amount Of sl9,-
100000. showing a total change in
Japan's favor to the extent of $29,-
100000. In other words, Japan is en-
titled to call upon us for nearly $29.-
100000 to balance the account for the
month of July. Manifestly, American
producers cannot compete on even
terms with the Japanese.
But that is not all. In our trade
with China and India we suffered sim
liar reverses, with the result that our
total debt to the Orient on account Of
trade balances for July was S70,0O0,-
900. IL that trend Of affairs shall keep
up, we shall soon have an adverse
trade balance with the Orient of more
than s1OO, 100000 per month, which
would mean that every man, woman
and child in America would, on an
average. send dollar month to the
Orient to pay the difference between
our imports and our exports to that
portion of the world.
League or no league, IL Japan can
keep up the July record we shall not
break her heart. however badly we may
treat the heart Of the world"

At Columbus, President Wilson ask
ed il any one believed that Germany
would have gone to war il Germany
had known that Great Britain would
fight; and lie added that certainly
Germany would not have started the
war if she had believed that America
would fight. This was used as an
argument for the league Of nations
backed by force, while at the same
time the Presiden. is telling others
that there is none other than moral
force behind it. The truth Of the mat
ter is that Germany learned Great
Britain would fight. Lord Grey mad,

wINTERING STEERS
AND BEEF COWS
Principal Object Should Be to Garry
Through Cheaply Without
Losing Flesh.

The principal object in wintering
stock cattle is to carry them through
cheaply without letting them lose
flesh. II is poor economy to under
feed cattle in winter and let them
lose much that they gained in the sum-
mer time. Heavy feeding of calves
and yearlings in winter is expensive
and reduces the gains they will make
on grass the following summer when
gains are cheap.
Straw, beet pulp. sugar beets, can
all be used to advantage. Cows can
be wintercd on good hay alone or on
80 lbs of kafir silage and lib. cotton
seed meal per day. Alfalfa hay or up
land hays make good rations in them
selves, while with prairie or cane hay
or Sudan grass, it will be better to
give some extra feed, especially to
cows that are to drop calves.
Some shelter is advisable in winter,
even though only a windbreak. Where
there are plenty Of trees, cattle can
often get along very well with these
for shelter. The following are some
representative rations that might be
used in wintering stock where fatten-
ing for market is not desif :. ]. 20
lbs. hay (slfalfa or park hay). ii. 25
lbs. cane hay or corn fodder, l lb. cot

"The More the Worser."

When closely questioned by the SEN
atorial committee President Wilson
said he had paid little or no attention
as to whether America was to get any
thing out of the peace settlement, but
he had some recollection that he Sc
cured the island Of Yap for us. He
said it was a little dot on the Pacific
ocean inhabited by few dark COM
plected people who appeared all day
long in the fullest possible evening
dress. From this it appears that at
tremendous expense we sent five Yaps
to the peace conference and got six
Yaps back. And the only way we
could have beat Europe would have
been to give them the whole six.

1t would seem that Mr.. Wilcon's en-
