ment of the long pending Irish controversy was mmed
lately possible as soon the representatives Of both
sides sincerely desired such settlement If there had
not been such desire negotiations would have been
broken off long ago, and Ireland would have dropped
back into condition worse than ever before
The conference, in its dealings with greater prob
lens, meeting with unexpected for similar
reason. The most important thing not the assemb-
ling of the representatives. Of the nations, but was
the demonstration Of the universal sentiment among
the civilized peoples of the world 1t that revea
ton of sentiment that gave strength to the American
proposals. and that caused the statesmen of all nations
to work for peace instead of selfish advantage.
The principle will operate in other fields Of
controversy. Industrial peace will prevail when all
those concerned have sincere desire for peace upon
basis of and justice Industrial war arises
because there too many persons who find their
selfish advantage and profit in strife and violence and
in the interruption of orderly industry.
Since the Irish settlement, human controversy
is to be regarded hopeless. peaceful ireland is
the best proof that world peace is something more
than dream.

President Harding's Message

In bis annual message to congress- presented in an
address to that body President Harding outlined
gram OF progressive and constructive staecraft of the
highest Importance and of satisfactory merit
The extraordinary session of the present congress.
caed together immediately after the presidential in
ausuratlon and continuing almost up to the day fixed
by law for the regular session was devoted to matters
of emergency that demanded instant attention The
accomplishments of that session were numerous and Of
the utmost Importance even tho results fell below
popular expectations But until the regular session
began was it possible for the president to present
general program of permanent legislation.
The Harding program is, inevitably, very largely
the result of the both regards domestic and for
eign affairs. But in dealing with these matters it
to that this national leader has a. vision Of some
thing better and advanced than the craftsmanship
Of the past.
This progressive spirit is especially noticeable in
tie suggestion that the permanent tariff law shall be
Flexible rather than rigid that it shall be within the
power OF the tariff commission the president, to make
changes within limits fixed by congress, in the rates
or the methods of determining valuations and thus the
rapdly changing conditions of foreign trade NAV be
adjusted and cquazed similar increase of executive
discretionary power recommended in connection with
the funding of the debts of the Allied nations.
The spirit is evident in the proposition for
an industrial tribunal investigate disputes between
labor and capital. To this as to the suggestions of
enlarged executive powers in the administration of tariff
laws, there will be opposition but the president
leads rather than lags behind public sentiment in these
matters.
Another very significant feature of the address is
the presidents statement concerning the attitude that
the United States ought have toward foreign nations
Isolation and ENHANCEMENT equally remote from the
presidents idea. This great and prosperous republic
owes duty to all other nations and peoples and that
duty may be discharged without any impairment of
national Independence or conflict with the supreme pr
pose of government which is protect the welfare Of
the American people
1t would be greatly to the benefit of the American
people, and of humanity in general if President Harding
conld rely upon the support Of working majority in
The fact that there Republican maoritics
in both houses does that all the suggestions
Of the message will be formed into legislation.
Whatever may be the result Of congressional debate
it remains true that President Harding has the pro-
gressive view. New issues have been projected into
the of political discussion, of which not
likely to be determined until they have thoroly
examined by all the people.

Christmas Shopping and
Pueblo Merchants

1t took much than the usual amount of COM
mercial courage and loyalty to do what Pueblo mer-
chants have done since the flood Much has been said
about flood rehabilitation from various angles, but the
story remains to be told of the business men of the
city who put Pueblo retail business back the map,
in astonishing short period, better than ever.
It is indeed new city that the holiday shopper
this year. New stores very largely, decora-
tions fixtures and goods While merchants
in other cities trying to work off old stocks,
nearly possible at prices. Pueblo buyers get
their choice of the recent offerings of eastern
manufacturers and importers at prices based upon
actual present values in the wholesale centers
The buyer of Christmas goods in Pueblo this year
spreads his bene6cence three ways. He compliments
the Pueblo merchant who has contributed largely to
the citys restoration; he benefits himself individually
and citizen of Pueblo; and he obtains for the
favored objects of his Christmas gifts better values than
can be had elsewhere.

What X. w. IT. Means.

The electric light bill for the month
Is received In the morning mall. 1t
reads, perhaps as follows:
Present reading, 961; previous read
ing. 935: consumption 26 k. w. H.
$3.50.
What does IL mean? Obviously.
that 26 X. W. h. of electrical energy
have been used during the month.
But what is a X. W. h.
X. w. H.. Is the abbreviation of kilo-
watt hour. A kilo-watt is a thousand
watts. A watt-hour. therefore. rep
rescnts the work done by one watt of
electrical energy expended for ono
hour. and a kilo-watt hour a thousand
times that amount.
A kilowatt- hour is practically tho
equivalent of one and onc-third horse
power hours. since T46 watts equal
one horse power. Therefore. the 26
X. ". h. indicated in tho bill mem
toned were equivalent to approx
mately 80 horse power hours. which
were placed at the householder's dis
posal merely at the push of a button.

Il number of years, but ii was not pos
Sible To introduce it extensively be-
cause of scarcity of seed. In the re-
gion where ii was most valuable il has
not been feasible to raise purple vetch
in large quantities because of climatic
conditions. In the North. on the
other hand, the G can be grown sue
cesSfully, but there the purple vetch
is not In as great favor for forage
as common vetCh, which is harder and
has become established in popularity.
TO make Il bridge between the two
geographically distant localities has
been the work Of a number Of years
on the part of the department experts.
II was first necessary TO demonstrate
the value of purple vetCh in the
Soutl, and afterwards to induce north
ern farmers 70 substitute it 10 some
extent for their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
Vetch was not quoted in the market,
and also because, where Il sale was eff
fected, farmers were tempted to sell
their entire stock, reserving no seed

The assistance of Il large California

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department
of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Less Quickly.

Poultrymen still discuss the rela-
tive merits OF drawn and undraWn
poultry. Practice varies in different
communities. Opening the body I'M
doubtedly exposes the internal surface
to the air which always contains mi
crO-Organisms, and thus may hasten
decomposition; but it should be re-
mcmbered also that the visCcra decOm-
pose more rapidly than other parts of
the body, and if left they may faint
or infect the rest of the bird.
In elaborate experiments with
drawn, partly drawn. and undrawn
poultry, conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, il
was found that undrawn birds spoil
least quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn ones
from which, not only the v~isccra. but
also the heads and feet, have been re-
moved.
