The Medicine Bow national forest has

something of which the community

MaIl strsst Rack to the Soil

Three years ago the country startled by the news that Wall street had gone into the farming bus ness. The Morgan interests put up the money for 100000 farm in Montana the land to be reclaimed introduced to the blow for the first time. Many persons said that Wall street would fail at farming.
 The last year just closed the first real test of the venture. Nearly million bushels of wheat were threshed and a large quantity oats and flax was produced. In all 52.ooO were under culti- vation. Within five years, it is believed that the whole 100000 acres will be producing food. So Morgan is making good food producer.
 But the greatest share of credit for the enterprise should go to Tom Campbell regular" farmer who conceived the idea of interesting Wall street money in what was to be, and is. the biggest farm in the world. Campbell had two other ideas the all- machine farm the estseed- befound program.
 On this the biggest farm there is not a horse a mule not dog other animal than the human animal Everything is done by machinery. By the exclusive of and machine Campbell gets 5000 bushels of wheat per per season, and that will make up into quite large number of loaves of bread
 Living in a machine age Farmer Morgan also discarded some other moth-eaten farm habits. He maintains book keeping system the He keeps track of every acre, every dollars every man and every machine. The biggest farm is a business; not thing of guess work and trusting to luck
 If Farmer Morgan should "go broke" in this enter prise, thing unlikely to happen he will know his books how it has come about; he can see it coming. Under the old style of farming the farmer did not observe the approach bankruptcy until heard the crash. And then through the rest of his life, he could not figure out how it had happened.

If now the republican leaders should refuse to permit this country take it's part in the queting of the worlds turmoil there will be further disappoint- ment not only for republicans but for the people at large.
 Again we do think that the mandate of the people related much to the league of nations as to other matters The people dissatisfied with the national administration less because of it's views as to league than because of the conditions which grown up; there resentment at its conduct of the war; the incapacity every executive depart ment of the government. The peoples mandate was for a change from the things that were touching them unpleasantly.
 Though they had come to the defects of Mir. Wilson's covenant they would have overlooked that error if he had g ievnthem a good government.

Why the DeIsy7

The signature of the mine assessment exemption hin or rather postponement bill at late a date defeated in a great measure the purpose which was intended be accomplished by its enactment. In hundreds of cases claim toward the last fear fui that the bill would not effective hurriedly began more than usual expense the work that was necessary to protect their properties. others made out their claims exemption postponement and them to offices of county recorders to be filed as soon as if at al there should be permitting their filing Stn others unable to do their assess ment work abandoned their claims "denounce- ment" hoping that they themselves could file them again before some claim jumper could do so.
 Tho delay of the president in acting this bill thus occasioning such needless widespread uncer- tainty and anxiety is incomprehensible. The legis- lation was not intricate, the and purpose of inc b were plain conditions throughout the country were understood by all and the mining situ- alton was known such that there has not been in recent years so little incentive performance of work which may be regarded development work such as the requiring the performance assess ment work contemplates.
 The bill was sent to the president more than a week ago. Action it then, though adverse. would have been better for majority of those whose benefit it was designed would have better than this delay which has defeated fin very great mea- sure. the object of the legislation.

 Is it not possible that Senator Knox has misun- dcrstood the mandate of the people? We do not.

The Game of Solitaire

The program of reform which has been directed against the cigarette is said have been amended to include the game of solitaire" which has to be regarded in some circles as worse than poker since the latter is promotve of conviviality which is fellowship. while solitaire" may be described sort of solitary vice.
 The solitaire addict retires within hmself-with- draws from communication with his kind and after dinner lays out his pack cards into seven piles and proceeds oblvious the gossip with which his wife is bursting to tell him
 But that is minor misdemeanor- It is the dermning of ones character that constitutes the greatest evil of solitaire. There may be cheating and frequently is, in all card games But then men cheat another and the victims have recourse by cheat ing back. But it is so in solitaire. There the player is tempted (and faIs,) to cheat himself
 The meanest of thieves, the one who has sunk the lowest is he who arises in the silent watches of the night and clandestinely approaches his trousers removes whatever change he finds. So the man who cheats himself at cards is the lowest cheaers that is what the average solitaire player becomes

Hold for tho Better Market

Now that the county highway bonds have carried, tho board of supervisors should delay long as possible the sale of them board should pro- ceed with the utmost vigor to compel the bond purchasing syndicate to pay the ss.oOO.OoO due tho purchase of the original bonds, thus realizing sum which would carry road building operations year longer
 No serious action has yet been taken to clear the way for action against those bond buyers who do not believe would stand suit to enforce the performance of their contract with the county Sev eral members of the syndicate of such prom- nence standing and character that they could not afford the effect of the pilory which would be in- voIved in such an action.
 The reason why we should walt as long possi- hle before putting the bonds on the market is that every day that will elapse will increase their attractveness and give them greater value in the eyes of purchasrs. Municipal bonds have dragged the market for the last eight months but there is feeling among those best informed regarding finan- eial affairs that there are brighter times ahead.
 In recent article James S. Alexander, head of the National Bank of Commerce, New York pointed out at length why 1921 would be a much brighter financial year than 192o-the why there would be a wonderful expansion of credit resulting in activities in directions in which there is quetude if not depression.
 In his view there is before us a long upward trend in which the demand for good securities will steadily increase and certainly, security bearing six per cent and backed by such wealth as that of Msricopa county would be classed as giIt-edged
 The patience with which we should hold these securities for the better market should matched by impatience at dilly dalying longer with the bond buying syndicate which now $S,OOOOOO.
