BANKERS HELP FARMERS

There is much that the local bank
er can do to stimulate better business
methods on the part of farmers. He
can also be of material aid to the ex-
tension agencies of the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State College of Agriculture on reach
ing farmers with results of research.
The increased demand for food by our
increasing population must be met in
the future largely by producing more
per acre. Unless this is secured
through the more general adoption of
improved methods; the increased pro-
duction will result in ever increasing
cost per unit of product. | wish to
commend especially the work of the
agricultural commission of the Amer
lean Bankers Association. Its work
is recognition of the SOLIDARITY of
the interests of agricultural and of
the financial institutions of the Unit
ed States. 1t is very gratifying that
the bankers of the country, through
their agricultural committees and
commissions, are taking an active in
tcrest in the work Of the Department
CT Agriculture and State Colleges of
Agriculture"

LET THE FARMER
OWN THE GAME

One of the strongest movements in
progress in this country today is to
make the farmer the owner of the
game on his farm, not the state. A.
it is at present in most CT the Unite !
States, the farmer can post his farm
against hunters, which is perfectly
proper and which nobody wants to
change. But as to the game itself,
the state claims ownership laws over
bird and beast and passes laws against
even the farmer killing them on his
own land.
All of which is doing the game no
good. The farmer has no interest in
the wild things. The alleged protec-
ton laws are not increasing the
game.
On the other hand, if the farmer
owned the game on his land mallard
duck, teal, goose, pheasant, quail and
the like--and could kill them for his
table and to sell as food, he would
make pretty sure that they were pro-
tected. He would exterminate their
vermin enemies, keep off game butch
ers, and more important than all, he
would provide his game with food and
even shelter on the few desperate oc-
casions in the winter when they die
in enormous numbers from starva-
ton.
The farmer would soon find that his
ownership of the increasing game on
his land meant not only better table
for himself but money in his pocket.
He or his boys would begin to breed
game in large numbers to sell to the
townspeople.
Briefly, this whole movement is in
tended to restock this country with
game birds. There seems to be no
doubt that the farmers ownership and
care of such birds would
increase their numbers nightly ev-
erywhereeverywhere, because wild
birds do not all stay at one place.

GENERAL CROP
PROSPECTS GOOD

A gentleman who had just finished
a tour through several of the extreme
southeast counties of the state gave us
some idea of the crop conditions there.
The wheat harvest, which proved very
poor, yielding only five to ten bushels
to the acre, he said was offset in large
measure by the fine prospect for
corn, cotton and sunfowers, which
are profitable crops in that section.
These products promise to be the best
they have ever had, and will relieve
any disappointment they may feel oy-.
err the failure of the wheat yield. Corn
is one of the most important and val
liable crops to the farmer, and it is
gratifying to learn that the lower
connties will not fall short of their
usual supply, ' "
In st. Francois county the wheat
crop is reported unusually good, al
though the acreage sown last fall
may not be as large as last year. The
heads are full and the grain Of unus-
ual soundness, so that the yield per
acre is much more satisfactory than
anticipated. Corn, however, is not so
promising here. The almost continu-
Gus rains up to the latter part of May
interfered greatly with blowing and
planting, and the consequence is that
if the acreage was not cut short the
lateness of the planting and the
drouth that set in the latter part of
May and has continued up to this
time has greatly retarded the growth
of the young plants. However, if we
should from now have reasonable
fall of rain and other favorable con-
ditions it may turn out well. Prices
may keep up, but surely we are not
in danger of starving and there is no
reason for elongating our faces over
the crop prospects.

AMERICANS MONEY CRAZY

C. A. Worthington, deputy gov
ernor of the Federal Reserve
bank of Kansas City, says:
eve can't stand prosperity! We
may as we'll admit it.
Americans, already the great
est spendthrifts on earth, have all
the symptoms today of burning
desire to increase their undesir-
able record for maniacal finance
until it will be forever the mad
house motto of the world, stand
ing as the climax of financial fool
hardness. Since the close of the
recent war there has been a grand
scramble for speculation and
spending which cannot be ex-
planned except by the fact that
Americans are noted for their in
ability to endure prosperity with
out the disarrangement of their
mental balance"
Gilpin observer., 1920-05-13
1.-THE TITLE "MR."

A few thousand years ago very
few people were fortunate enough
to have title. Only those who be-
longed to royalty, to the army or
to the church, were so distinguish
ed. Ordinary people did not even
have a surname. When Adam was
created he was started off upon
the journey of life without any
title or surname. Many great
men who lived in later times are
known in biblical history as Noah,
Matthew, Mark, Luke, Peter, John,
etc. Even Methuselah who reach
ed an almost fabulous age, never
had the pleasure of being called
Mr.. Methuselah, and Moses, the
greatest law-giver of ancient
times, never rose to the dignity of
@ title.
But in more modern days titles
became very plentiful and we had
our Kings, Lords, Dukes and
Earls, and thousands of other
titles, but the great majority of
people were still without any
title. In order that everybody
might have a title, the general
title of "Mr." was created. 1t has
no special meaning except that it
might indicate that the person
who carries it is not entitled to
more particular distinction.
The millionaire and the tramp,
the horse thief and the model citi-
zen, the atheist and the devout
Christian, the wise and the fool
ish, the strong and the weak-all
of the best, the greatest, and the
mediocre of the human race and
all of the riff-raff and off-scour-
ings of Gods creation are punched
into one conglomerate mass and
each atom is designated "Mr."
Gilpin observer., 1920-05-13

the one will practically offset the
other, but the votes of those who
are paying too much for flour and
sugar, shoes and hats will be as
the leaves of the trees, falling in
November to cover and bury the
plans of the election prophets.
Mistakes they may make. The ac-
complishment of their purpose
may be delayed or misdirected for
a time, but this revolt is the one
that will mark the pages of his
tory, when l. w. w., Bolshevists
and Reds are forgotten.-Boulder

Figures being compiled by the
State immigration Department for
use in the 1920 edition of the Col
orado Year Book show that the
total amount of taxes assessed in
the several counties of the state
for the construction and main
tenance of roads and bridges this
year is 1882, ,6O8.98, or the equiv
alent of a general levy of about
"a mills. The total amount of
taxes assessed for this purpose
last year was S2,622,276.93, or the
equivalent of a levy of abaut 1.8
mills. More than one-half the
counties in the state increased
their roads and bridge levies for
1920.

THE SILENT REVOLUTION

There is vast amount of prop
aganda going forth detailing the
plots of the l. w, w. and May day
horrors anticipated on the one
hand, and equally terrifying stor-
les of the profiteers, of financial
and commercial panic and des-
truction of big business and cap
ital. There is little said of the
great revolt that is in progress
the breaking Of endurance of the
millions of the middle class. There
are few hundred of the reds"
and a few thousand of the profit
ecrs and big businessmen and it
is of the slightest consequence if
they turn to riot and revolution.
The police can take care of both
elements and all their troubles.
But the farm-owning farmers, the
homecoming artisans in all the
trades, the small business men,
professional men, the teachers,
preachers and men dependent on
fixed income, numbering millions
of sane, sound citizens-they are
in revolt at this moment. Their re-
volt is in progress, not with bomb
and gun, not with financial re-
prisal and industrial oppression,
but in an orderly way that has a
menace not so bloody nor so lad
en- with suffering as that which is
Matched in the l. w. w. councils
or in the cabinet meetings of cap
tains of finance and trade, but
marching to a transformation of
conditions as complete as even
Lenine and Trotsky instituted in
Russia. 1t has mopped the earth
with General Wood, in an orderly,
irresistible way. It will wipe off
the map many another political
magnate, industrial despot, finan-
cial conspirators, ere the end of
this election campaign.
This is the really momentous
revolution that is in progress
news of which is suppressed by
the press and public speakers SO
that the people may not know. 1t
has overwhelmed North Dakota
it is the dominant element in
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska ;
and in Colorado it has and will
use the power to completely
change the political aspect of the
state, to correct the evils of trade
and restore normal conditions.
The votes of Wall Street nor
the votes of l. w. w. will affect
in the slightest degree that COM
ing election, they are too few and
