l«P .47 DATE SET.
mr ' _
r
At their meeting yesterday the direc-
tors of the Midwinter Fair Association
set the dates for the fair. It is worth
while to get the date—or dates well fix-
ed in our minds. The days chosen are
January 7th to 17th. inclusive. No bet-
ter dates Could have been selected since
the period between the day of opening
and the day of closing will include two
big trade excursions to the Valley The
work will be pushed with vigor from
now on. Meawhile let us remember that
the fair is a valley institution that the
whole Valley is interested in it; that
in all the years during which the fairs
have been conducted there has not been
one in which a successful fair could
mean so much to the valley.

SOUND DOCTRINE.
Recently at a banquet of the Indiana
UiCinebers of the* Associated Press. Sec-
retary of tin* Navy Daniels was one of
the speakers. Referring to Huerta's at-
tempt in his recent message of the Mex
can congress to create the impression
' the American people were likely to op-
pose President Wilson’s Mexican poli-
cy.. these words of wisdom which des-
erve to be read and pondered were ut-
tered by the secretary:
“I raise the question: ‘What is
tin* duty of the press of the United
States when their government has
a delicate international problem to
solve?* That is a questi m which
every editor in America has been
called upon to answer twice since
March 4. It has not been difficult
for most editors for they regard
themselves as citizens before they
are editors and therefore they
have supported Iho poli -.v of the
government through its chosen
agents when its policx commended
itself to their judgment. When
they were not convinced they have
acquiesced or pointed out in a way
that could not be used against their
country their views

Speaker Clark ti.ok the floor Wednes-

••If I Were silting in a erimiu
al prosecution." remarked Judge
Cullen. in the Sul/.er trial Thurs-
day. "1 should have to charge the
petit jury that if the owner con-
sented to tin* use in any manner of
the money or check given. Tiv .the
party to whom it was delivered
such use would not constitute lar
enry.
If Judge ('ulfen has declared the law
correctly his derision is important not
so much for its hearing on this partic-
ular case but on the whole question of
campaign contributions While it would
not remove the necessity of correct’y re
►orting campaign funds it would remove
taint of criminality on spending them
for other purposes by permission of the
donor. Also it might leave the question
open as to what a campaign donation
reailv is.

THE KIO OKAXDE VALLEY.
Just how wonderful the great Kio
Orande Val’ey region will lie when it
shall have been fully developed is not
computable at this time lint it bids
fair to become the most product i\e
country in the world.
A railroad official who has been inves-
tigating present agiiciiltural conditions
there brings an interesting slorv—in-
teresting. because in some respects crop
conditions have not been entirely satis
la-dory this year.
Speaking of corn he says the croj
rims from forty lo seventy-five bushels
per acre. This indicates a very high
average and would be considered good
anywhere* but the remarkable fact is
that this corn is growing on ground
from which a wonderful truck-crop was
gat bend in the early spring and inns be
added to the spring production in ol-
der that the acre production of the land
may be ascertained.
The cotton yield is estimated at a
bale audit hu'f per acre which at pres-
ent prices is a gratifying return. The
statement that three crops of corn can
be produced there in a single year
shows the wonderful fertility of the
soil. Tile farmers too. have learned that
in order to avoid tremendous waste hog
raising must be increased. There are
times when the market will not absorb
the ahudant yields of truck.
When this happens the crop can he
profitably fed to hogs and another crop
immediately for more favorable mark
et s.
In slunA the overshadowing advan-
tage enjoyed by the valley farmers i>
that thev can raise two or in *re crops
a year on tin* same land and heavy
crops at that.
able conditions should be attracting at
It is 1101 strange that these remark
tent ion in all portions of the country.
Ilomcsi-ckiti- throughout the States are
much belter informed of these condi-
tions than Texas people are. because
every autumn thousands visit the val’ey
to see for themselves whereas the Tex
as people merely read these stories of
extraordinary production and take them
with a grain of salt when as a matter
of fact the half has not been told.
The great problem of the valliey far-
mers is one of markets and distribution
a problem that confronts farmers ev-
erywhere. There i> no place within tin*
bounds of the ITiitcd States that is so
productive in the matter of early vege-
tables and sometimes we hear com
plaints of -Tops rolling in the field for
lack of markets which means that pre-
vailing prices are so low ii is tin profit
able to ship. That was notably true of
the vast cabbage crop of the va’Iey last
spj ing.
When such condition arise farmers
become discouraged of course but the
hog ought to be able to eliminate that
embarrassment. There is a shortage of
hogs throughout the country and there
is no immediate prospect that the sup
ply will approximate the demand until
the farmers pay more attention to such
farm economies as are possible when
hogs are raised.
The valley farmers aredestine d to
become the most thrifty and independ-
ent in the world. Lands capable of pro
so abundant in the Enited States and

The situation in Ire-laud is very sim-
ple. If the "Home Kale." bill misses the
British parliament the people of Els
tor w ill repudiate it and fight the irov-
oniment. !f the bid fai s to g<-t through
parliament the neople south of faster
will fight because it has failed to pass.
Extremely simple as a situation. Ex-
tremely eompleated as a problem for
British statesmen.

A recent ruling of the Ereneh gov-
ernment will affect the Mexican situa-
tion finan -ial y. The governmef has no-
tified the French bankers that it will
not countenance foreign loans until its
own financial needs arc provided for

The -trike troubles in In-land are
growing. The situating is complicated
with politics. Thirteen thousand men
arc out of employment in Dublin.

the chance of settling the Mexican troit |
