much interest in the good or bad fortunes of the
country as whole they dc in conditions in their
own community, so their is the first to be con.
sidered with great deal of satisfaction that
we can contemplate local conditions and compare
them with those of ago. when there was little
doing, when unemployment at the greatest height
had ever known.
We have practically unemployment.
Almost every man who can work and wants work
can find it. Some thousands of men are now
ployed on the Santa in its double-tracking oper
ations. Word comes from Jerome that 1900
men will shortly be set work in the mines there,
and it is that they will probably be found with
some difficulty. In some lines told, enough
men not now available.
Merchants In the towns of this valley are all
enjoying improved trade. There the alfalfa fields
which bring the valley $4,000 o0o the grain
fields from which will derive almost as much.
Thousands of bales of cotton are unsold and which,
though they may ultimately be sold at loss, will
turn loose volume of cash. Livestock prices
now high The dairying industry, such source
of wealth to the valley is rapidly coming back.
Altogether, the outlook Is bright.
1t is fact that have been in serious de-
preston. We have minimzed the seriousness
of it. We fell sadly short of our expectations when
we put acreage into the 1920 cotton crop. It
is regrettable that we were so disappointed that
so many farmers lost heavily and that some lost
their ALL But that is all in the past and rreparable.
We only look with profit to the future which is
so promising. and around US to the present which
find so much improved.
We were not alone in the financial and economic
distress which began be felt in this country in the
latter part of 1919 and which became most acute
year later. The whole world groaned with pain We
of this country suffered less heavily but suffered
such for suffering. 1t the elimination OF
events which began eight years ago with the wastage
of accumulated wealth and the suspension of pro-
ductive industry We all turned to the fatal produc
ton of for the further wasting of wealth and
to the production of supplies for the sustenance of
those the battlefields who had been chosen to
waste it.
Now that to look back wonder that
the recovery could have come about quickly.

Our European Loan

1t we are going to cancel the European war debt
had better do quickly then, for two reasons
we will have much to lose; we will lose less
accumulated interest, and that annually appan-
ing We should do this, If do it at ALL
the theory of an old Ohio cross roads blacksmith
who had peculiar scale of prices. If, for instance
when he shod horse all around, the was pre-
pared to pay cash, the blacksmith charged
dollar. But if the owner OF the horse only promised
to pay in the future he was charged rs cents Being
asked why the latter figure was charged the black
smith replied: debtor doesn't pay I'll not lose
so much.s .
Another reason why our action with respect to
the cancellation of the debt should be reasonably
prompt that the longer the matter is held in
pense, the more associates in the likely
ask. Indeed, French statesman not long after
the signing Of the peace treaty suggested that we
should be getting off lightly with the loss of
loans to our associates, and he intimated that
should be made pay something of the expense
by the allies before got into the war; that
is that should be fined billions for being late
We have just received a copy of an article by
President T. B. Macaulay of the Sun Life Assurance
Company of Canada, who regards that a reason
able proposition. but he would consent to remission
of the debt owed the allies previous to April 1917
if should forever quit talking about that seven
billion dollars which We seem to think the allies
If would only abandon that illusion, the
whole thing might be regarded settled
1t is the theory of Mr.. Macauay that it was as
much our war on August l. 1914 as it became nearly
three years later; that if had recognized it then
and got in we would have been the means of saving
items of billions of dollars and millions of human
lives
That is perhaps true; still we hardly think that
we ought to be mulcted now for all those billions
which might have been the means of saving Nor
do quite think that Mr. Macaulays view is nation
ally disinterested.

She responded intensely to the un-
necessary hardships of life about her.
to "the cry of undernourished chill
dren echoing through unkempt day
coaches as they numbered slowly
over South Dakota plains; the
knowledge that mothers, already too
heavily burdened with care, respon-
sibility. and the endless work, must

alone, miles from any medical assist
ance. in order that our state, needless
of their needs. might be enriched by
the coming of new life; the dearth of
good homes among our workers:
the lack Of educational opportunities

She became interested in the aims
of the -Partison League, and

league for superintendent of public
instruction of the state she gave up
her salary and teaching to devote all

The housekeeping OF state includes

After looking Kid Lee. colored
lightweight champion, over in his
short bout Friday evening with
Boney Gagliardi of Trinidad. AL
buquerque fans cried out for a
chance to see the colored lad in
real action. 1t was apparent from
the first minute of his bout Friday
night with GagIiardi that he was
head and shoulders above the
class OF the Trinidad boy. Lee ex-
hibited everything which wins
bouts and pleases the fans. He has
speed, class, a wallop in either NIT,
sportsmanship--and during the
last year has held his own with
many of the best lightweights in
the country.
Feeling that the fans were not
satisfied with the short exhibit Fri
day night, the Veterans of Foreign
Wars who have been planning an
all-star program for the near fu-
ture, wired offers to a number of
leading lightweights for bout here
with the colored champion Janu-
airy is.
Joe Kale, probably the best light
weight ever produced in the south
west, accepted the conditions and
the match was made by wire early
last night. It IL understood that

bout Is one of the largest ever Of

The Friday evening bout was the
first chance Flynn has been given
to demonstrate his class against a

decision of the boxing commission,
which acts as judges, was a close
one. Heretofore Flynn has had a
path of roses, ending his matches
