TO EuROPE

lHe decision 81 the faTIneIS NaIlOnal he
construction conference to send a committee to
Europe will probably. meet with the hearty ap-
proval OF our farmers and the labor forces Of
the whole country. The committee is to- attend
a great gathering of organized farmers and
workers from many nations. to be held in; Paris
at the same time the peace conference is in
session. This gathering will do important work
in watching the progress of the diplomats and
in offering suggestions or protests expressing
the common people. But more important still,
it will begin the great work of bringing about a
common understanding among the peoples Of
all countries.
The seven delegates chosen are men pro1l1i1l-
ent in the Nonpartisan League, he-American
Society of Equity, the Cleaners, the National
Farmers union and the governing board of
Farmers National Headquarters. Consequently
the progressive farmers Of America will be well
represented. Along with this committee will go
delegates of organized labor in America with
the same purpose.
It has frequently been said and is undoubted-
true that if there had been close union and UNI
derstanding between the common people of the
world prior to 1914, the recent terrible war
could not have happened. The hands Of the in
ternational schemers for power and trade priv
iliges would have beenrestrained from the des-
perate venture. AS it was, the little cornomn
understanding that the radicals of Europe had
developed furnished about the only opposition
to the starting of the war, and one great inter-.
national leader, Jean Jaures of France, was SO
feared by the big militarists that he was
assassinated on the eve of the declaration of
government; at least the men behind it We're
too big to be brought to trial.
A new and more powerful alliance and under
standing between the common people Of all ma
tions is the most effective way open to us at
the present time to head off future wars, and
it is a splendid thing that the farmers and
workers of America are going to take a prom
inent part in such a movement, The League of
Nations, dominated by old-styled diplomacy and
by the cupidity of the great special interests,
may fail us but a league of the common people
can not fail. It may, on the other hand, be sufffi-
GENTLY powerful to force the stiff-necked gov
ernments to form a real League of Nations.

WHY IS HE SORE

Secretary Houston, the political father of
American agriculture, recently delivered him
self publicly of the opinion that 1--WE shall be pes
tered by the narrow, selfish partisan and the
demogogue-the farmers of the farmers-their
pretended self-constituted friends" and much
more in the same line. There are a number of
things, very important things in fact in the de-
:partment of agriculture, which ought to have
been kept dark and this is that proud southern
gentleman's way of answering the revelations
IN regard to the said things. Alas and unfortun-
ately for the nation at this time he is being
watched too closely by "demogogues'' and other
bad people! Think of what he could do for the
farmers and how smoothly his department
would run and with what prestige for the next
election if it were not for these wicked people,
camped on his trail! ~.
Among the things the wicked harp on much
to his discomfort are the federal grain grades.
They should have been taken on faith, and if the
farmers had had sufficient faith they wouldn't
realize that they were being robbed for the
grain combine. Houston simply wanted to en-
courage thetfarmers to raise cleaner wheat, so
naturally devised a scientific method of finding
the careless and unfortunate, the fines to 90. Of
course, to the grain combine. q ,fe.
: Then there is that matter of concealing farm
costs. If the results of the Investigations had
gotten out, the proof of the need for higher
prices for farm products and for reform in our
marketing system, would have been so obvious
LHdC Tile QemOgOgueS would nave run away
with the department of agriculture and the
food administration to the detriment of ''legiti-
mate business" What could Houston do but sup
press them and fire the expert who found them?
Again the action should have been accepted on
faith; instead the "demogogues'' are trying to
force him to give a public explanation which is
impossible.
Third, there is that invasion of the depart
ment by the gumshoe Rockefeller interests to
Rockefellerize the publicity of the department.
and the rural education of the country. If it
hadn't been for the "demogogues" few would
know about this except Rockefeller and Hous-
ton. ~.
Then we might mention how Houston was
forced to oppose special loans to drought-strick-
en- farmers because the "demogogue," John NJ.
Baer, proposed it first and because the bankers
didn't like it, and how passports to Europe for
representatives of organized farmers were de-
MED. . ~ +.
Much more could be mentioned but enough
has~been said to show that Houston has suffi-
Gent grievance against a number of people to
warrant his calling them very bad names. What
the farmers, on the other hand, have against
him warrants his speedy disappearance from
public life. +. .r.-

MINORITY HOWL

Inc nOWl CnaC is now gong up from Cne NIL
nerity in the legislature and their henchmen on
the outside, regarding the refusal of the major
iy to accede to their dillatory tactics and waste
time in debating subjects already settled and
the alleged gag rule on the part of the majority
reminds one of the time when the shoe was on
the other foot. ; 1
The present minority seems to forget the time
they ran their measures down the. peoples
Threats. " &
One is reminded of the old Republican conven-
ton at the time Andrew H. Burke was nomin-
ated for governor when John NJ. Cochrane was
charging gag rule and refused to listen to the
minority and all those other sophistries we Of
ten hear and when B. F. Spaulding then got the
floor and said ..-, &
"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen Of the conven-
ton: It is the same old song we sing at every
convention, sometimes my friend Cochrane
sings it and sometimes I sing it..
Were the conditions reversed and the present
majority happened to be in the minority, they
would not even get the consideration now being
shown the present minority. This has been
proven time and time again the past 26 years.,
and Matt knows this and we know that he
knows it unless his memory has become defect
i've very very lately.
Some three of four years ago those persons
who announce themselves as fit to rule" were
prophesying that a federal land bank was not
needed because Of the splendid service of our
private institutions and more than this their
superior intelligence told them it would not
work on half of one per cent margin. In its first
year Of operationpthis unneeded bank has loaned
farmers over $3.50, 100000 and is making money
on the impossible margin. Now the same lads
are prophesying against the Nonpartisan lea
que program, and with as good grounds. What
they really mean is: '"The League program will
not succeed if we can possibly prevent it"

DRAW POISON THROUGH SKIN
Baltimore Physician Believes He Has
an Effective Cure for Rheuma-
tism in New Idea.

DIR. Fred Pridham of Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore has devised
treatment for joint affections. such as
rheumatism, that is being used very
successfully at the military hospitals
where it has been introduced. He
uses a mineral, double nitro-peroxide,
which actually extracts the infiamma-
ton.
The salt is mixed with a starchy
substance which holds it's action until
it is placed on the skin over the dis
eased bone, from which it extracts the
Impurities, the germs and their poi
sons.
The material is sprinkled on lint
or gauze and placed on the skin over
the diseased bone. When the doctor
removes the dressings, from six to
twelve hours later, there will be seen
blisters on the skin. If there is no
infection the salt will not affect the
skin.

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of 1t. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton'S Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, 1uffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
dOwny at first-yeS-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

New Mexico.

Lead and zinc production comes
from the Magdanela District in Socor-
70 county, the Steeplerock District in
Grant county and the Cooks Peak
District, Luna county. While lead
alone is mined in the Central District,
Grant county, the Victorio District,
Luna county and the Organ Mountain
District, Dona Ana county, and zinc
IN the Hanover and Pinos Altos Dis
tricts.
The report of the United States
Geological Survey on the output of
the mines of New Mexico for the first
eleven months Of 1918 and the esti-
mated output for December shows a
decrease in all metals. The total pro-
duction was $681, 900 in gold, 868,OO0
ounces of silver, 9,250,0C0 pounds of
lead, 98,620,000 pounds iof, copper and
25,OOO,000 pounds of recoverable zinc
The total value was $2S,625, 900, as
compared with the 1917 output, valued
at $34,986,765.
Copper, of course, is the principal
metal produced in New Mexico. The
larger part of this production comes
from the Chino Copper Company's de-
poslts at Santa Rita. This is a low
grade ore which is milled at the COM
pany's immense plant at Hurley. The
Phelps mines at Tyrone and
the Eighty-five mine at Lordsburg
also enter into the production figures.
Other copper mining districts in the
state are the Magdalena District in
,Socorro county, the Orogrande Dis
trict in OterO county and tha Cara
cito District in Torrance county.
In gold and silver production the
Mogollon District in Socorro county
leads with an output of $115,948 in
gold and $4,000 ounces of silver,
which is less than half of the output
of this district in 1917. Other dis
tricts producing gold and silver are:
The Aztec mines in Colfax county,
White Oaks, Parsons and Nogal in
Lincoln county, San Pedro in Santa
Fe county, and the Orogrande District
in Otero county.

this plant is running to full capacity.
During the past season an increas-
ing number of Boulder mining men
have taken up the spar mining at

The fifteen principal mining coun-
ties in Colorado are Boulderf, Clear
Creek, Eagle, Gilpin, Gunnison, Hins-
dale, Lake, Mineral, Ouray, Park, Pit
kin, San Juan, San Miguel, Summit
and Teller. The assessed valuation
of these fifteen counties on mining
property only in 1916 was $32,9O5,11
and in 1917 was $1C8, 8,474,00O. In 1918
the assessed valuation was $144,3O1,- >
691.
The stockholders of the Wellington
Mines Company, owner and operator
Of what is conceded to be Colorado's
largest zinc producer, on January 2
received dividend Of 100000, or 10
per cent on the company's capitaliza-
ton.
In the San Juan region the situa-
ton as to labor, mining costs and in
fluenza was particularly arduous, but
despite these difficulties San Juan
county's production fell off only $780,
900 in gold, 100000 ounces Of silver,
100000 pounds of lead and 100000
pounds of copper, and equaled the out
put of 1917 of 100000 pounds of

Paris, Jan. 20.-The two notable
events of the day were the meeting
of the Supreme Council to consider the
Russian situation and the gala lunch
con to President Wilson at Luxem-
bourg Palace. The meeting of the
Supreme Council was attended by
President Wilson, Secretary Lansing
and representatives of the other four
great powers. An hour was given
over to hearing M. Noulens, the
French ambassador who has just re-
turned from Russia, where he person
ally witnessed the changes which have
been taking place in the government
and conditions there.
What he told the council was not
disclosed, but an authorized state
ment from M. Noulens sums up his
views thus: "The Bolshevist power
is the enemy of the entente. 1t is re-
sponsible for the Russian detection
from the entente 1t furnished Ger.
many with food during the war. II
protested against the terms of the Ger

uncompromising attitude of hostility
against the entente. Until the regime
falls, development which hope the
allies will actively seek to bring
about, Europe will continue to be ex.
posed to the severest risks of agita.
