The farmer is not receiving pro-
portionate returns lor his crop when
it is considered what that crop Will
buy in goods he has to have. He is
loyal patron of the fair. Many an
extra hour he has spent in order that
his cattle, horses. sheep, swine, poul-
try and other exhibits might compete
for the blue ribbon at the fair. He
profited by that, yet his consistent
efforts and patronage build up the
fair and make it pay. Would it not
be a good idea this year to make
real endeavor to see that he gets
"whale of show" for the money he
pays to see it?

ber of the Interallied Rhineland Com
mission, points out, "The Rhineland
separatist movement is absolutely of
French origin and carried out under
French protec ton. The rebellion was
planned by French generals and
launched with their assistance. The
separatist schemes are abhorred by
the great mass of the people" And
this serious indictment is corroborat-
ed by Major General Allen, in com
mand of the American troops on the
Rhine, to say nothing of the 'Rhine
boundary" demanded by the French
war cabinet in 1916, by the secret
Franco-Russian war treaty, by Cen
eral Foch at the Paris peace confer
ence and by M. Dariac's secret report
to Poincare on May %, 1922.
What has this mad militaristic am
bition to crush defeated enemy
profited France? 1t has brought
her to the brink of bankruptcy. In
order to maintain the largest army
in Europe, France has doubled her
total debt since the war. The interest
on her bonded debt alone is increas-
ing so rapidly that within two years
it will exceed the present govern
ment revenue-and she has paid no
interest on her colossal debt to Brit.
ain and America, The French poll
ticians have kept telling the people
that their tax burdens would be lift
ed by collecting huge reparations
from Germany. But bankrupt Ger
many can pay no reparations. The
French militarists have succeeded in
killing the goose that laid the golden
eggs.
More serious still, the French mil
itarists, like the German militarists,
have isolated themselves from their
former friends. British public opin-
ion is now almost universally anti
French" writes the peace-loving
Philip Snowden, British labor leader
in the House of Commons. One of
England's ablest statesmen at the re-
cent assembly of the League of Ma
tions remarked, "Over us hangs the
shadow of the French army, and the
fact that their airplanes outnumber
the British four to five to one. We
have but substituted one militarism
for another"
The collapse of Germany will not
bring peace in Europe. 1t will not
bring victory to France. 1t will bring
only direst disaster and distress to
the whole of Europe, which will in
evitably affect America as well.

ENTERTAINMENT. INSTRUCTION

A meeting was called for represent
atives and several employees of the
Colo. Fuel & Iron Co. Thursday, Nov.
15. for purpose no one suspected
until at the last minute most MEM
bers remembered that Mr.. Lichty
mentioned in the meeting prior to
this that an able speaker would pos
sibly come to Crested Butte and give
lectures on several subjects.
Mr.. L. V. Selleck's talk was on la
Dor Turn Over" He spoke of the
amount of men working at the Pueblo
Steel works, the amount hired, the
amount changing into different de-
partments, men 'layed off," men
quitting and men discharged and he
gave reasons for each of the above
mentioned He also touched on the
subject of different nationalities en-
ployed, at present 1870 Americans to
20To Mexicans are working at the
Steel works.
Mr.. Weitzel is also speaking on a
subject that he is very capable of do
ing as well as speaking about. His
subject is "a Leader of Men"
After the meeting at the office the
men adjourned to the c. F. & l. Hotel
where a wonderful meal was waiting.
Then came the entertainment at the
Princess Theatre and from there to
the dance. 1t seemed as though every
one had a wonderful time from the
beginning of the talk at p. m. until
1890, when the dance stopped.

The symptoms did not develop un-

er was alone physician was not
called till the following day, at which
time the deadly poison had taken too
firm hold for curative measures to
be successful
Wednesday at HOO o'clock the

passed away. At 200 a. m. Thursday,
the girl gave up the struggle.
