time Gen. Joffre, representing the
French, and Gen. Bridges, representing
the British, came over here in 1917
until the date of the armistice it was
the ceaseless endeavor of their re
spective governments to use American
soldiers merely as replacement troops
in their own armies. From first to
last Gen. Pershing had to contend
against the constant British and
French demand, first for American
companies and then for American bat
talions, to fill up the depleted foreign
ranks. Gen. Harbord points out that
it was due to Pershing's effective re-
sistence to those opportunities that
our boys who gave their lives in the
war had the glory of dying under the
American flag rather than under the
colors of some foreign nation.
The fact shows, however, since the
United States first took hand in
European affairs, it has been the un-
remitting effort of the allied govern
ments to use American men and wealth
for their own selfish ends. They tried
to foist the league of nations upon us,
then Armenia, then the Turkish-Gree
mess, then as guarantor of France
against Germany, then the Russian
problems through the Genoa confer
ence, then Russia again at the Brus-
sells conference, and then as mediator
in the reparations dispute. Through
it all there has been relentless propa-
ganda to make American taxpayers
pay the IL billions of debt that Europe
rightfully owes the United States. But
the American people do not take kind
ly to being used, and are animated by
just the same sort of determination
that inspired Gen. Pershing in 1918

Nothing"

In his instructions to the jury, ID. r..
Hartwell, presiding at the Herrin trial
said: 1T is not against the law to
mine coal without being member of
the United Mine Workers of America.
If assaulted or killed for no other
reason it can not be justified because
they were not members of that organ
ization." The Boston Evening Tran
script captioned an article on the Her
rim affair, appearing shortly before the
jury rendered its decision: "Was Muir
der or Nothing" Evidently the jury
decided it was nothing" Does this
accord with the decision of the people
of the United States?

Filled Milk Legislation is Favorably
Considered.

Colorado dairy farmers will be in
terested in noting the progress of
national legislation forbidding the
shipment of filled milk in interstate
or foreign commerce. The measure
has passed the national House of
Representatives and recently it re-
ceived favorable action by the
Committee on Agriculture and For
estry in the Senate. Its final pas
sage is expected. Filled milk has
already been shut out of the mar
kets of many states, Colorado includ-
ed, and national action will probably
{ an end to trade in what the
dairy industry declares to be fraud
on the public.
The Senate committee, In its re-
port, declares that 1.-THE manufac-
turers of filled milk do not label their
cans as milk, as that would be vi
olation of the act, but use such
trade names as The COM
pound is put up in the same size and
style of cans as the genuine evapor-
ated or condensed milk, and is car
ried by the retail dealers on the
shevles side by side with the genuine
product. Your committee does not
doubt that the sale of filled milk, as
at present carried on, is a violation,
if not of the letter, of the spirit of
the pure food and drugs act"
The committee bases its recon-
mendation upon the fact that filled
milk has been robbed of butterfat.
which has been replaced by cocoanut
oil, which does not contain the vi
tamines essential to growth and the
well being of the human body. TIE
report also brings out that the com
pound can be manufactured for less
than half the cost of evaporated milk
and that its sale is pushed by retail
ers in many cities as being "as good
and better" than regular evaporated
milk.-Extension Service. Colo. Agri-

WASHINGTON NOTES
Employment Conditions in Colorado
Continue to Improve.

Sohtihuc " imphoNS.
The U. S. Employment service thru
Mr.. Ounce Record, Director of the Sth
or Mountain District, who has head
quarters at the Customs Building in
Denver, reports that industrial and
employment conditions show an up
ward trend in the Rocky Mountain
region, especially in Arizona, Monta-
ma, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. This
is particularly true in the metal min
ing sections.
The general report on the State of
Colorado reads as follows:
Employment conditions in nearly
all lines of industry slowly but grad
ually improving. Industrial workers
are employed in much greater num-
bers than any winter for several years,
with possible exception of coal min
ers. Nearly all industrial plants con-
tinue increasing their forces, particu-
larly those plants manufacturing
building material, railway and auto
supplies and mining machinery. In
dications are for very large increase
in sugar beet acreage over 1922 which
will necessitate large increases in field
labor in early spring and cause alb
sorption of much of the existing sur
plus of agricultural workers. lmprov-
ed prices of livestock have caused a
considerable increase in cattle and
lamb feeding this winter. Metal min
ing continues active. Considerable de-
velopment work in progress. The me-
tai mines output in 1922 nearly ST.
100000 greater than in 1921, and a
much greater increased output indi-
Gated for 1923. Activities apparent in
nearly every metal mining section of
the state. Metal mining operations in
Boulder county are resuming in
small way; indications are for increas-
ed demand for metal miners within
thirty days. Favorable weather in
nearly all sections of state permitting
building construction to continue on
a but slightly reduced scale. Build
ing mechanics steadily employed.

obligations to report, upon request,
as to the success or failure of the
trees supplied, in order that future
advice may become more reliable.

MAKING HARBOR IN THE
PAUMOTUS

As the long-boat rose on wave, we
jumped upon the cargo. Four Tahitians
were at the heavy oars, with Piri Tua-
hine, the steersman, at the stern, holding
a long sweep for rudder.
Now came as delicate a bit of action
with sails as yachtman, with his mother
in-law as a guest, might recklessly essay.
The schooner towed us to within eight
hundred feet from the reef. Then, when
it must have looked to landsman that
she was almost in the breakers, we cast
off the line and took to our oars. The
save time by minimizing rowing, but GER
tainly it was not in Lloyd's rules of safe
ty. In five minutes our boat was in the
surf, rolling and tumbling. Then I had
chance to observe the art of the Poly
nesians, the ablest breaker-boatmen in the
world. All about seemed to me solid
coral rock or distorted masses of limestone,
covered and uncovered by the surging wa
ter, but suddenly there came into my fall
tering view, as the steersman headed to-
wards it, strange pit in the reef. Into
this the water rushed furiously, drawn in
and sucked out with each roll of the
ocean. The Tahitians, at word, stopped
rowing. They tugged with their blades
to hold the boat against the sweeping tide
while Piri Tuahine scrutinized intently
the onrushing waves. He judged the speed
and force of each as it neared him. On
his accuracy of eye and mind depended
our lives.
In few seconds, with wild shout, he
set the boatmen again to pulling like mad,
while he both steered and sculled with
his long oar. "Tamau tie paina" they
yelled amid boom of the surf. "Hold on
to the woodw and down into the pit we
tore; down and in, the boat raced through
the vortex of the chute. All was in the
strong hands and steady nerves of Piri
Tuahine. A miscalculated swerve of
his sturdy lever, and we would have been
smashed like eggshells, boat and bodies,
against the massive sides. But spirit and
wood were steadfast
In few twinklings of an eye we were
past the reef and in the moat in fast
shoaling, quiet water, studded with hum
mocks and heaps of coral. The sailors
leaped into it, shoulder-deep, and guided
and forced the boat as far shoreward as
possible, so as to minimize the labor of
cargo-carrying. Then Captain Moet Nc
Henry and l plunged into water up to
our waists and waded to the beach.-From
