CHAPTER XVI.

While Ricardo watched beside the
unconscious Webster one of his aides
galloped up the street, to return pres
emily with a detachment with stretch
ers, into which Webster and Don Juan
CafeterO were laid and carried up the
palace driveway into the huge golden
reception hall where only the night
before Sarros had greeted the bellies
and beaux of his capital. In the mean
time Mother jerks had succeeded in
restoring Dolores to consciousness;
supported by the indomitable old
woman the girl slowly followed the
grim procession until, at the door of
the reception room, they found their
further progress barred by a sentry.

Dolores nodded.

continued, but the General ordered

over. If l was you, I'd wait in that

Mother jerks accepted his advice
and steered her charge into the room
indicated. AS they waited, Ricardo
Ruey stood %anxiously beside the table
or which John Stuart Webster's big,
limp body reposed, while Doctor Pach-

clothing from his body.

I'll ONLY MAN WHO
CAN STOP WARS.
PAGE SIX

The science OF biology proves that
man is a fighting animal. We are
sorry for that, but we didn't make biol
ogy. On the other hand, we are among
those who still hope mankind Will
some day live at peace.
Now there is the president OF the
International Machinists' Union. W.
il. johnson, who has called on the
metal workers OF the world to refuse
10 manufacture arms and ammunition
and thus put an end 10 all wars.
II will be painful new TO Mr., John
son to hear that war Is not at all de-
pendent on the metal workers. Thous-
Rnds OF years h. THAT Is, before
Johnson-or before the Krupps, or be-
fore steel, men made war very sue
cessfuIly without guns, or powder OF
Il. N. r., or even swords. The sling,
the stone Ratchet, the bow and the
simple wooden club were once very
efficient killers.
The truth Is that the most horrible
war ever waged could be staged today
without a battleship, or n cannon, or
a rifle or plstol-and even without an
ounce OF powder. 1t would no be
necessary for q single member OF the
p~roletariat 20 take n mana III II rae
tory or In the battlefield.
This war would be waged with air
planes and the ammunition would b'
deadly vapors and p%olsons made In
laboratories by scientists In the EN-
ploy OF any government deciding t.
wage war. Before It's conclusion you
would see one or the other of the con.
flicting parties scattering diseas,
germs.
Mr.. Johnson is n victim of vaporingi
which have been common In labor un-
ion halls for nearly half n century. tt

all powerful. that by the use Of hi
hands or the refusal to use his hands
he could enforce on the world anything
be wished. Pleasant to hear, but un
true.
The only all powerful man In thi
world is the farmer who could stop
war by refusing to grow food,

SILLY IDEAS o
THE FARhl,ER II.

Everybody clings to a lot OF claptrap.
One foollshness common TO towns
men the world oven ia the idea that
the farmer is a hick, That somehow
he isn't quite as bright, or as clever as
q business man, or as we'll read az the
townsmnn.
Where the idea originated we do not
know but there In a strong suspicion
that Il came from "thoid and thoity
thoid Street New York or the imme-
date vicinity thereof, Unfortunately
the first people TO engage in the NOV
ing picture industry were city dwell
lers, hence their wrongful and In ac-
CITRATE pivtsr!zation OF tho true Amer
lean Farmer,
the farming class in this country
nave always averaged higher In native
wit and ability than the town folks
OF late years the American farmer has
been better read, better educated, and
a far better business man than many Of
his town brethren and sisters. Any
one doubling this Is invited to read any
farm paper of national circulation ans
note the contents thereof, and then e
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1921-05-13

read a typical smart magazine that
appeals to the strictly urban intelli-
geDce, and note what sort OF claptrap
II contains.
The American farmer has more time
to read, more isolated opportunity to
think. fewer unnecessary things TO do,
and he gets on the job earlier in the
morning TO do 'em.
And while every other business has
nearly broken its back the biggest IL
quotation Of any business, has continu-
ed TO buy in a dear market and sell In
a cheap one. and has generally wealth
cred the storm without Fedeal aid or
public sympathy.
Another thing: Maybe you have
noticed that when the farmer boy
comes to town to get o job he gets II
and he seldom visits the bread line
whereas, the average town man who
emigrates to the country TO show 'em
how to farm at a profit frequently goes
broke; the farmer in town can play the
town game and win, but the city man
can rarely make a living In the coun-
try.
Seeing that our bread, our meat, ouI
butter, our eggs, our blankets and ouI
sheets, everything we eat on wear
comes from the country, and that the
cities are never more than one week
ahead of starvation, unless the regular
flow Of rural food-stuffs keeps coming
In, IL behooves us to realize the fact
that these unseen workers who keeI
ns fed are fellow men of high intelli-
genee, OF as efficient ability.
Consider this: When did a reform
an uplift, eyer start In town?
The farmers of the nation have in.
auguarated every forward movement
the nation has seen, and the farmers Of
every country are always the last tC
be swept away by passion, revolution
or mob hysteria. A farmer Is self-suf.
ficient " he makes a living; the ma
jority of townsmen are dependent fol
their daily bread and heath, their heat
their light, and their transportation, on
some corporation, some servant, SOM
caterer. The farmer is his W butch
er, baker, doctor, blacksmith anC
street car; also he IL his W police
man, usually his W magistrate ant
grand jury. Consider how few civi
grand Jury. Consider how few civil ant
criminal cases come from the coun
try; the countryside needs few law
and few officers, for every nan dwell
In his own kingdom, and as he give
justice to his neighbor so IL is mete'
to him again as a matter of course.
We should be thankful that we liv
at American Falls a farming commun
ity Of first merit and that our horizon
Is North, East, South and West-no
straight up.

A. White spots or the |fingernail
are said to be caused by a blow or
other injury at the base of the nail
while 1t is forming. There Is no way
of removing them. They will remain
until the nail grows out, and they are
filed off. They may be avoided by
protecting the nails from rough usage.
