Our merchants have proved to their
own satisfaction that the people can
and will buy if the price is low
enough. Wherever prices at the re-
cent sales were cut to the point of
exceptional values the sales were sue
cessful, but wherever the price in
ducement was lacking the public soon
found it out. In these times of COM
ing down with the market the fell
low who comes down first gets the
business. Of course the public often
demands too much, but the public is
not to be blamed for that inasmuch
as the public seldom knows the ex-
act replacement of things or the rea-
sons for market conditions. The man
out of work thinks everything is
high at any rate and the farmer
selling farm products as pre-war
prices will not be satisfied with any
price for merchandise short of a pre-
war price and pre-war prices have
not yet arrived in manufactured
goods. Skilled labor is not down to
pre-war levels in any factory, and
freight rates have not returned to the
pre'war level, nor has coal come
down. All of these elements of cost
will grow less as time goes on but
it took six years of world war and
its aftermath to reach the peak Of
prices in 1920, hence we ought to be
content to wait more than one year
to unscramble our economic eggs.

While not altogether an unmixed
blessing, the storm Of last week was
on the whole most opportune and
benficial. 1t did some harm, lodged
the fall grain and in some cases
broke the stalks of wheat, it tangled
up the hay in way that is going to
take many hours to cut it, but it was
godsend to the spring crops, par
ticularly on the dry land farms in
the northern part of the valley. There
is no use in gainsaying the fact that
the spring grain In most cases and
the fall wheat in many was begin
ming to burn badly. The storm came
just at the opportune time to help
fill the fall wheat heads and to stim-
ulate the spring crops. The fact that
there was so much snow near the
mountains and in the center. of the
valley the rain was continuous rath-
er than driving, meant that there was
little run-off to the storm. The mois-
ture went into the ground where il
was so badly needed. 1t is going tC
take some real calamity to keep the
Gallatin from having a bumper crop
this fall.
The Bozeman courier., 1921-07-06

Two months from now we will be
getting ready for the fall term of
school again, people will be wonder
ing whether an early frost will catch
the late wheat and merchants will be
preparing for fall business. The
question with every man should be:
"Am / prepared for long, hard WIN
ter?" Next winter to those unem-
ployed this summer is going to be a
severe one.

 MEXICO CITY, May so-Develop- ments in the negotiations between President Obregon and George T. Summerlin, American charge daf- faires, relative to the memorandum of the American state department have reached a stage where it is freely predicted here that recognition of the present Mexican government by the United States is possible with in short time- It is known that the memorandum presented by the charge to the president yesterday Was in such form that the Mexican president could by his mere personal signature make recognition by the United States virtually assured. It is also known that document which may be signed by President Obregon is mostly guarantee that certain requests of the United States will be complied with. Chief among these is ample protection for American lives and property in Mexico
 The state department is understood to have championed no special Amer ican interests but in broad and general way to have suggested that safely guarantees for all must pre- cede recognition Such guarantees are said to be not only for physical protection but for property rights.
 President Obregon has emphasized that it is impossible for him to sign anything reflecting on the national honor or derogatory to national pride that if the president does sign a guarantee it will be in such form as not to offend the suspectibiities of the Mexican people
 Newspapers reported that the pres ident had requested Mr. Summerlin to call at the national palace today for further exchange of ideas, but the American charge informed the correspondent he had received no in- vitation. He added, however. that he would attend in a personal ca pacity a reception to be given tonight by the president at Chapultepec castle
 to M. A. Robles who leaves soon tc | take his post in Madrid as Mexican minister to Spain.

 I FRANCE HONORS AMERICAN DEAD
TRepubIican A. P. Leased wIrel


 PARIS, May S0.-Memorial exer- cises were held today in every Amer ican cemetery in France, and even on isolated graves Of Americans who died in this country during the war wreaths were placed. The French government exerted every effort to make sure that not a single American hero was forgotten.
 At the suggestion of the govern. ment there were guards of honor at the principal cemeteries and wher- ever Americans were unable to send delegations to conduct the services the French offered to lead the exer- cises, as well as to participate in the programs
 The principal program for the day was given at the Suresnes cemetery, near this city. where Hugh c. Wal lace, American ambassador; Maj Gen. Henry T. Allen, commander of American troops at Coblenz. and Marshal Petain spoke.
 We come always to the graves of our soldier dead" said Ambassador Wallace, with feelings of reverence and devotion, for the gratitude which inspires us can be expressed in no other way than in the sentence: All that a man has will he give for his life Yet these men gave life itself for home and country. Unselfishness could go no further and it hallows the ground on which they lie. Here as nowhere else we realize the meaning of the cross. Where men have died for men we mark each grave with @ sign of Him who died for all.
 Could I have my say, these graves would never be disturbed. The 1ov- ing care of the French people has made them beautiful and the peace which reigns here should be un- broken. I intend no disagreements with those gold star mothers at home who asked that the bodies of theiI sons be returned to the land which bore them, but think that in follow i ing this natural impulse they may l have acted without full understand l ing of the true conditions. Could I they be with us here today and see what. l see they would not deprive i their boys of their places in this field of honor, where Glory Guards Sol emnly Around the Dead ''.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. May 30. = The defense of Denzel Chester, on trial charged with the murder of Miss Florence Barton, by supposed high wayman on the night of October 2, last. while motoring with Howard Winter, her fiance, attempted to prove that the shooting did not occur where Winter said it did. Efforts also were made to impeach the tes- timony of Mrs. Blanche Ryan, star state witness.
 John Curtis, former policeman, and s. o. Hall. still on the force. told of searching the road a mile and a half west of the home of R. B. Gar vey, near which the tragedy occurred, according to Winter. The search was made between and o'clock in the morning following the tragedy for broken glass from the coupe in which Winter and Miss Barton were riding. and for automobile tracks, showing where a car might have drawn up at the side of the road. No glass and no tracks were found. both men testi- fled. Both declared such tracks and glass of the same thickness as that in the shattered windows of the cou- pc were found on a lonely road known as0.spooners' road"
 On cross examination, both said they could not say whether the glass they found was from any particular car nor whether the wheel tracks were made by any special make of car, nor whether they had been made that night or several days previously

 Senator Heflin favored amending the federal reserve law so that the federal reserve board would be com peiled to recognize staple cottan as a basis for credit.
 Ways and means of rehabilitating the cotton industry and putting it on a pre-war basis were discussed a; the opening session today.
 Leading cotton growers and gov ernmental officials warned that the country faced the shortest cotton crop in the last 25 years. and that unless immediate steps were taken to create market and restore the sta pie to a profitable price. greater short age would result in the next few years.
 Cotton Acreage Cut Figures presented by speakers showed that the reduction in cottor acreage this year ranged from 30 tc 35 per cent. due to the acreage reduc- ton campaign of the National Cottor association. the ravages of the boi wevil and unfavorable weather.
