MONDAY. OCTOBER 80, 1872:
GREENE AND POTASH

.doption by the Lamoille County
taru- Bureau of a resolution condemning
he vote of Congressman f. L. Greene
ior a small duty ON potash and urging
VERMONT farmers not to vote for him
as United States senator from Vermont,
has aroused some feeling throughout the
Stale. Most of the potash used in fer
filters is imported from Germany and
lie farmers claim that imposing a duty
IN it will increase the cost of their fer
filters and is, therefore, against their
Lest interests.
Mr. Greene in an address before the
franklin County Farm Bureau has ex-
glained his vote on the question. He
says that during the war it was impos-
lille to get potash from Germany and
t.>or.can firms spent large sums in an
IF TT to produce potash at home: that
the admission of potash from Germany
free would destroy these American en-
terprises and leave the American farmer
again at the mercy of foreign monop-
oily in both the supply and price of his
potash. In conformance with the Re
publican principle of protecting Ameri-
can industry and developing home pro-
duction and independence from foreign
monopolies, he had voted for a duty on
potash for a period of three years At
the end of that period it would be dem
onstrated whether or not American pro-
duction is practical and, if it is not, the
American farmer would be relieved of
paying any duty on potash.
To The Reformer Mr.. Greene's posi-
ton seems the stronger. The develop
ment of a dependable and adequate sup
ply of American potash would be worth
while. The effort to supply American
potash during the war when no other
supply was available was patriotic one
and it should be given protection long
enough to demonstrate whether or not it
is practical commercial proposition.
The ethical question of direct political
action by any group aided by state and
( federal appropriations is also involved.
! The funds for Farm Bureau appropria-
{ tons are drawn from all groups and POI
litical parties and for any group like
them to use any part of these public APP
preparations for propaganda for or
against the candidate of any political
party is a questionable procedure.

If you are planning an elopement with
somebody else's wife or husband, first
burn your letters. Everyone has been
warned not to write compromising let
ters, but ever since the invention of the
stone hammer and chisel the temptation
to put thoughts into permanent form
has been too great to be resisted. Many
thoughts are well worth inscribing, but
there is one class of thoughts which
should either die a-borning or be left en-
tirely to the lips. These are the thoughts
that make love letters so thrilling when
first written and read, but so silly and
pathetic when turned into Exhibit A of
a divorce or murder trial. Think of the
scorn, the shame and heartache that
could have been avoided by the proper
use of single box of matches.

Last Wednesday woman at Island
Pond Vt, placed her poeketbook con-
tanning about sos in bills in the slide
rep of her parlor stove. Later in the
afternoon she built fire, entirely for
getting the purse in the top. About 5
o'clock she remembered placing it there
and hurried to her safe deposit nook
only to find the bills in ashes. As our
Senator-to-be Frank Greene says, you
don't have to tell Vermont people to look
in the back of the book for the answer to
a story--or the moral.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED

Most always things turn out just a little better
than expected and at all times there is some way
10 get by regardless how dismal things may look
We note that after all the howl abou, the wheat
crop in the Panhandle being failure this year
that il has turned ont much better than was first
expected and now they are getting nice round
price for what was raised, so there is still silver
lining to the heavy clouds that have been hanging
over the Panhandle the past few weeks OF course
there not that prosperity that they usually able
to boast OF at this time Of the year but there is
lot wheat and lot more dollars than most
people dreamed there would be. and the Pan
handle will still be in the swim. The people Of the
South Plains of which Lubbock is the Hub need not
be blue. This great diversified farming country
is capable of producing a crop after il is thought
that it is too late. The past two months Of dry
weather is having its effect on some of the crops
but after all with the many different kinds that can
be raised in this section, there is no need for ex-
IRENE uneasiness. and before the last days of har-
vest have come there will no doubt be more farm
products raised than many people at this time ex-
pect. Never give up as long as your head is above
the water Keep doing your best and and outcome
will be better than you expected

GETTING READY FOR THE FAIR

The management of the South Plains Fair
which will be held in Lubbock this fall is getting
active. and there many things being done now
in preliminary way toward getting lined up for
the biggest fair that has been held in Lubbock
II has been demonstrated to the people of adjoin-
ing counties and other counties of the South Plains.
that Lubbock is determined to make the South
Plains Fair a permanent thing. and the confidence
of the South Plains people has been gained by the
efforts of the management in the past-by their
cesses we might add and for that the neigh
bors of the South Plains going to be here strong
this fall-much stronger than heretofore. and for
that reason the interest is becoming widespread,
and the attendance viii be much larger. Lubbock
is the logical place for the fair. and the people
know il. Our strongest rivals admit that and we
all know it, hence the importance of making good
all the way through. The buildings to be work
ed over and painted. This will add much to the
appearance Of the grounds and there will be many
other improvements made between and the
opening date Of the fair which will add much the
attractveness Of the fair this year The capital
stock Of the South Plains Fair Association will be
greatly increased This will enable the manage
ment to make greater Roadway toward the success
OF the fair There is a lot of work to do between
now and the opening dates and every citizen of
Lubbock should be his in assisting in every
way to boost the fair along.

THE ISSUE

The election returns revealed wonderful
surprises for the people of Texas Especially was
this true in regard to the race for United States
Senator This practically reversed itself from
what the most of people really thought If the news
paper stories could be taken as refecting the views
of the people of Texas in the outcome of the cleo
ton. 1t has brought out few things that the
Avalanche has been contendng, figured conspcu-
ousy in the election. and which a great number Of
people believed were dead issues. Prohibition, for
example The majority of the people of Texas
commended that prohibition was dead that it was a
constitutional proposition and that the issue would
not amount 70 anything. What do you think now
you fellows who said it not going to figure in
the election Of officers 10 important places in the
United Statesp What put Jim Ferguson in the sec
ond place in the race for United States SENATOR The
people are against prohibition and and this is not
denied by those who support him the strongest. II
is not denied by Jim himself. he has already an
nounced that it will be of the issues of the
in the second primary. Now you people who want
booze to stay down had better see to it that Jim
and all other fellows who are working overtime
to get the prohibition laws amended so that beer
and wine can be sold several points stronger, had
better get busy and line up strong dry vote
in this August 10th primary the ants will walk
away with the nomination and land right square
In congress with both feet and working every rope
possible to get booze back in the land in legal form.

real constructive work in the city than does the Ro-

clubs are composed of representative business men,
professional men. farmers and ranchmen Of Lub-
