State Grange Makes Appeal for Agri-
cultural Training.

The Colorado State Grange, at its
last annual session, adopted report
of the Grange educational committee,
advising farmers to make better use
of the educational facilities provided
by the state for their especial bene-
fit. Study of the rural school sys-
tenn and its improvement was urged
in the committee report and a strong
appeal was made for higher educa-
ton for the sons and daughters of
the farmers, in paragraph reading
as follows:
"We would emphasize the adyant-
age to yourselves and our agricul-
tural industry of making every pos
sible beneficial use of the resources
of our State Agricultural College and
the members of its staff. Our sons
and daughters need the kind of edu-
cation it exists to provide. We pay
taxes to support our college; and
then many of us allow our children
to enter upon the duties of citizen
ship with only the elementary and
inadequate training our country
schools can give. We spend money
to provide well bred animals for our
herds, but often many of us seem to
act on the belief that any sort of
elementary schooling is good enough
for the sons and daughters of the
farms.
1T seems to your committee that
we should make every effort and
sacrifice to educate our country chill
dren, so that they may become more
effective leaders in country affairs
than we are, or are capable of be-
coming. For it is to be remembered
that the country is represented by
its men and women, not merely by
its land values and the number of its
livestock. II the country is to have
the leadership in the future which
it has a right to claim, that leader
ship can be secured only through the
education and training of country
born and country bred men and wo-
men. The State Agricultural Col
lege is the place to send our sons and
daughters to get their equipment for
the future. (Signed) ID. w. Work
ing and Elsie Peterson, Committee.

EverybOdy's Disaster.

What penalty private business paid
in the rail shipments strike last sum
meri
Fruit growers, farmers, live stock
breeders, manufacturers of products
needed daily by the public-these have
been telling the story of losses sus-
tanned to their interests as a result
of paralysis of shipping. The Depart
ment of Justice started out to find
what damage was done to railway
property because of the strike; the in
vestigation is developing that phase of
such industrial struggles which has so
long needed to be given widespread
consideration-the strikes effect on
ncn-participants.
These have been severe sufferers,
no matter how distant their connec-
tion with the trouble. Shippers lost
through inability to supply food mar
kets. Dealers were unable to meet the
demands of their customers, although
overhead expenses continued. Prices
had to be advanced, and the individual
consumer was oppressed with increas-
ed living cost.
The full penalty cannot be accurate
ly estimated. The whole number of
sufferers will never be known. What
findings are possible, however will
show vast harm resulting to partici-
pant and non-participant alike It was
not rail, not a shopworkers' affair.
1t was a disaster to all the people.

Origin OF Navajo Blankets.

The origin Of the famous Navajo
blanket is picturesque. At the time OF
the Spanish conquest, the Navajo tribe
n Indians was too Insignificant to be
mentioned. 1t grew. however. rather
rapidly, and In raids upon the Pueblos
took many Of the latter prisoners.
From these (the Pueblos had long
been weavers OF native cotton) they
picked up the textile art; and then
stealing sheep from the Spaniards.
they inaugurated the weaving OF the
woolen blanket.
Only the women OF the tribe were
weavers. and in the early days did 1t
largely AS an artistic recreation, Just
as the women of civilization do EN-
broidery or tattlng

Since that time. after voyages Of q

Among college students it's well

very marked. l suppose It's Just as
haps more so.
Men who had cherished grudges
against each other for months or

to speak again and would perhaps
become friends. Acquaintances that

Congress Adjourns.

The Sixty-Seventh Congress has
come to a close after two regular and
two special sessions. The Admins
tlation and the Congress have had one
of the most difficult tasks ever given
to the Nations leaders, namely: to
bring order out Of political, industrial
and agricultural chaos, caused by the
sudden ending OF the World War, and
a most unusual period of initiation
which came with the war. 1t is be
lieved, however, that as the result of
wise leadership, which has insisted on
readiustment upon a sound, perman-
ent basis, the crisis in this country is
well passed, and that the present up
ward trend will steadily continue.
Among other important measures
the Sixty-Seventh Congress has en-
acted emergency and general tariff
bills; several laws, both temporary and
permanent, widening credit facilities
for farmers and stockmen, including
the revival of the War Finance Cor
poration; good roads legislation;
general revenue law; and the budget
bill. Acting with the President it has

WASHINGTON NOTES
The Song of the Spindles.

Probably no American industry has
been more greatly benefited by the re-
storation of the protective tariff policy
than the textile industry. Summarize
ing recent reports it is apparent that
the volume of business done in wool
ems and worsteds for fall trade has
been large. 1t is certain that some
agents have been called on for goods
which will oversell their mills. In cot
ton goods the well-sold position Of the
mills makes it difficult to get addi-
tional accommodation where nearby
goods are wanted. Production in silk
centers shows signs of constant expan-
sion, 50 great in some instances that
the labor shortage is seriously inter
fering with the necessities of the busi-
ness. Some OF the artificial silk pro-
ducers have been overwhelmed with
offers Of business they cannot accept
and make proper deliveries. The knit
goods industry is enjoying great
trade revival. In the Passaic, n. j.,
handkerchief mills great activity is re-
ported, with an increasing demand for
linens. In the women's wear market
one operator said the buying for fall
reminds him of the good old war
days" He was asked whether he also
had in mind the terrible days of 1920.
lie looked grave for moment, but
the smile of optimism came quickly.
The dress strike has been settled and
the men are returning to the shops,
which are ready for boom sales. The
textile prosperity will not supply the
Democratic party with any campaign
ammunition in 1924. Textiles are our
trite tariff testimonials. The activity
of the mills means steady work for
the employees, regular full pay on
Saturday night and a correspondingly
good demand for the commodities
these mill workers must consume. The
active textile mill II cans a better mar
ket for farm produce, for lumber, for
fish, for luxuries of all kinds.
