prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The success which has attended the
raising of Angora goats in the rugged
Ozark country of southwestern Mis-
souri, has suggested to specialists that
1t might be equally profitable to place
such herds on many other wild tracts,
particularly those which have been
cut over. because these goats are prov
ing of great help in clearing away
underbrush. While growing mohair
and producing kids, the Angoras in
the Ozarks are also trimming down
the brush, manuring the hills. and
preparing the way for grass. cattle,
and sheep.
Hired to Clean Up Land.
Some owners of brush lands, moi
wishing to invest in goats, have paid
goat owners from so to IS cents per
animal per season to clear the land
for them. Thus the herd owners, by
renting out their goats. have received
good returns for their browsing in.
stead of having to pay feed bills.
In addition to the rental income
good Angora nannies, when properly
cared for. are returning an average OF
3 to 31a pounds of mOhair and are
bearing a goodly number of kids
Well-bred. thrifty wethers, bucks and
young goats are keeping the average
of mohair clip up to about 3h pounds
With mohair selling from so to 75
cents a pound and kids valued at 50
to S4 per head, each rented mamie
returns from IS to 81 per year, gross.

representative of the state college of
agriculture in Missouri. the number

NEW YEAR.

Tomorrow will be New Year dav
and we suppose that all of us will
make certain resolutions, which will
be kept-until temptation comes our
way. But why should we make Ne"
Year resolutions? Have we ways
which we should change? Maybe we
have, but who admits it?
Nevertheless, there may be some
good come from our tendency to re-
solve anew that we shall live differ
emily in some manner and the ten
dency should be encouraged. not only
to resolve but to adhere through
thick and thin to the good resolu-
ton.
Let us then welcome the New year
and devote such talent as each may
have in an honest effort to better
ourselves and others all through the
year May each and every one pros
per in wisdom and in the blessings OF
life.

VICTORY SEEMS DEFEAT.

Certain hotel managers of this
state, it is reported, plan to employ
men to take the place of women who
have been awarded the minimum wage
of $lS a week. Under the decision of
the state supreme court sustaining
the validity of the law the award is
retroactive, so women who have been
paid less than the $1S minimum NAV
collect the difference for service since
June 2, or the difference between
S13.20, the previous minimum. and
SIS. This will give them a neat bit
of ready cash, but if their employ
ment shall terminate as soon as men
can be found to displace them, their
victory will be of the Cadmean sort
more disastrous than defeat.
At the present time considerable
number of men are out of employ
ment in this state, and their obliga-
tons to wives and children will COM
pei them to accept any employment.
With some of them it may not be a
question of minimum wage, but of
any wage that will enable them to
maintain those dependent upon them.
And this brings the matter down to
the basis of cold facts, not theory.
Such situation is deplorable, but it
comes about as logically as any
change in the physical world comes
1t is the effect of cause The business
Of the country has shrunk far below
wartime dimensions. Two years ago
Seattle had 10000 or more men in
shipyards or related industries. How
many are there now? When the
building Of ships stopped these
thousands had to seek other employ
ment. They had received high wages
A specious prosperity" deluGed mil
lions of people of the country into the
expectation that the vast wartime in
dustries would be sustained by de-
mand from war devastated countries
for anything the wartime industrial
plants could be revised to produce
This delusion was soon dispelled. and
since then the business of the coun-
try has gravtated toward the level ia
which the memorable working out of
the law of supply and demand is car
rying it. SO there are now in this
state more men than jobs, and conse-
quently there is competition for en-
ployment, with the factor of wages a
secondary consideration. For those
unemployed it is a matter of exist
ence. A hard condition, indeed, but
the inevitable result of the vast dis
location of labor and the disorganiza-
ton of industry during the war.
The court, of course, had to pass
upon the validity of the minimum
wage law. but if the effect is to de-
prive women of employment and to
establish wage which, in a time of
great surplus of labor, will make it
practically impossible for them to
find work, they may wish the issue of
the validity of the law had not been
raised. The theory of the minimum
wage law is good, but it cannot avert

The Z. S. Government insists on
deporting the so-called soviet ambas-
sador, Martens. and Russia threatens
to cancel the contracts given to
Banker Vanderlip for some billions of
trade, and there are those who ques-
ton the wisdom of our government in
insisting on deportation under such
circumstances. Martens and others
who should be encouraged to agitate
the overthrow of the American gov
eminent, should he be allowed to re-
main here, might possibly do more
than few billion dollars damage.
What is the measure of damage to
Russia by Bolshevism? What might
it not be here if allowed to run ram

The house appropriations commit
tee has cut down the sum asked by
the different departments, to be car
ried by the sundry civil bill, by $420,-
914,192. One item which attracts
general interest is the refusal of the
committee to allow an item of $780,
600 asked by the department of justice
for the enforcement Of prohibition.
The report Of the committee indicates
a genuine attempt to get the govern
ment down to an economical basis in
expenditures, a result very much de-
sired by everyone.

all us "birds" against the pirates

all need the protection of a "blue

president of the Commercial Trust
Company of Philadelphia that more
than $250.000,000 worth of fraudulent
securities are sold in the United
States every year, and as there are
only eight states which have no law
against the sale of such Securities"
Washington must get a large share

Former President Taft was in con

perhaps not quite such as either ex-

great need is letup in the build

see other nations continuing to en-

would cause all factions and all ma
tions to come to an agreement to do
all in their power to end war and it's

As will be seen by an article pub
ilshed elsewhere in this issue of the
Echo, the county board is arranging
new road program, finding that the
plan promulgated following the cleo
ton at which bonds were authorized
cannot be realized, owing to non-com
pllance in the work by the state and
nation. Just what may be the fate of
this part of the county can be deter
mined, perhaps, by the interest taken
by Leavenworth people in the matter
which will be decided within few
days, if indeed it has not already
been settled upon. The upper valley
is entitled to a good share of the
road Improvement and hard surfac-
ing should be insisted upon from
Leavenworth to the Peshastin church.
Anything less, it seems to us, would
be considered by this section as un-
just and justifying the suspicious of
those who were won over to vote for
the bonds only by the greatest eff
forts, and also of those who were not
won over.

butter fat will net the farmer 10 cents per
quart next month, as against a3 per quart
this month. The price to the producer in
February, 1919, was $3.50 per 100 pounds.
1.-THE reduction in the price to the farmer
Is due to a decrease in the wholesale
prices of butter and cheese, which are
used. In part, in computing the Dairy
mems League prices Butter has dropped
recently about ten cents and cheese one
cent q pound. The farmer will continue
in February to sell milk below what it
will cost him to produce it, repeating hi.
experience Of the last few months. Some
Idea Of what the milk producer is up
against in his feed bills alone may be
gained from the fact that in December.
1919, the wholesale price for gluten feeds
was quoted at $3.50 per ton. as compared
with 5000 in December, 1918; $50 in De-
cember. 1917. and about S35 in December,
