Tin." president thinks the liijr; flood is had enough, without
jiivinj,' toiiKivss a chance to turn loose a flood of oratory
jiUnit it. '
If Sacco and Vunzetti had heeu tried for murder in some
of our other states, they'd have boon sentenced to life im
prisonment, finished serving their terms and got out long: be
fore this.
The world's chicle forests m e ln'iiijj chewed up by Ameri
can jrum cliewers and their imitators in other lands. Cer
tain varieties of trees whose sap is used in .makinji chewinj;'
liuni are killed by the necessary tapping, not immediately
but within a few years. Thus the original stands in Central:
America and nlunjr the Amazon valley are slowly disappear-j
inj;. Lest anyone to w hom (turn chewing is an annoyance j
leap to the conclusion that the pastime will disapix'ar along!
with the original trees, it should be said that cultivated i
plantations are to taUe place of the wild forests. Before ex-,
tiuctioriMias. actually overcome all the gum-producintr trees i
in tho world,, manulacturors will have established planta
tions big enough to supply their growing- needs. Some oilier
means must be sought to combat the chewing gum menace.
FRENCH FORTS j
The world is surprised by the announcement that France;
is going to begin at once constructing a vast system ofi
fortifications along her frontiers. Next year's budget pro-j
vides an enormous sum for building what is described as "a
powerful series of defenses and fortresses at strong points, to
be linked with the latest improved earthworks, with strategic
highways, railways, irdronies, batter emplacements,, troop-
assembling shelters and other appiii tenai":es that were dem-
onstvatcd as necessities to the (Ileal War." I
President. Poincale announces that a series of giant forts
like those barring invasion from the east I'elfort, Metz, Tool,
and Veidun will be built along the north frontier and
and thiough the Aidcnncs. And all this must be completed
lie fore the government will reduce the militaiy service of.
conscripts to one year. That stirs a universal sigh of discour
agement. The need of such mighty and costly defenses was
supposed to be pasl, even if "the war to end war" failed to
accomplish its lull purpose.
Are they really necessary '.' It is hard for Ameiicans to
think so. Where is the peiil? From Cermany. disarmed and
apparently disposed to be friendly, or at least conciliatory '.'
From deal lliilain. which obviously wants no mme war
Nvith any first-class power'.' From Russia, which is bioken
economically and politically, ami far away? From Italy,
strong-spirited but poor in resources? Fiom America, which
wants no more wars anywhere?
It is haul for us to judge the necessities or appreciate the
fcais of Fiance, lull one thing at least is safe to say: Amer
ica should furnish no more money for anv such purpose as
that, to any Fuiopeau nation. A id perhaps we should be
less considerate in Inline debt conferences.

NORTON'S KIDDY SHOP
The JJcst In Children's Wearables
At Low Popular Prices
Universally Stable
and
Profitable
There is probably no other industry which has so potent
a natural safeguard in the conduct of its business as the
manufacturing of lime.
In the management of most factories, large quantities
of raw material must be purchased, and often stored, to
secure lowest possible prices and to insure adequate supplies.
Quantity production must follow to keep down the cost
per unit of finished product to a minimum. Stocks on hand
are therefore often large and must be stored. Under nor
mal conditions this is well and good. Shipments are fairly
regular and quantities stored are normal and customary, i:i
anticipation of usual business.
But when the slump comes, as it does, periodically to
every industry, it invariably catches the manufacturer with
large supplies on hand which he has generally produced un
der a high wage scale and a high cost of raw' material. No
need to mention the result; everybody knows the answer.
Iiroadly speaking, lime must be used as produced. H
will slake if exposed to the air for any great length of time
and he useless for most purposes, and it is too bulky to store
in great quantities even though it were practicable. There
fore, lime manufacturers are never caught with embarrass
iiig surpluses. There is no incentive to over-production.
General depression in the business world, with correspond
ing lowering of wages, means only to them a readjustment
of output to meet a temporary lessening in demand. This
is one of the reasons for the universal stability of the lime
industry.
So closely related are the factors of supply and demand
that if the lime kilns of the country were shut down, at the
end of !'0 days there would not be a paper mill, an iron foun
dry, a gas plant, or a paint factory in operation, and the
building trades would be at a standstill.
.The limestone deposit of the Black Marble and Lime
Company is its source of supply of raw material and was
purchased at a price which is less than lc per ton for th"
visible supply. This insures against fluctuations in values
in this regard, and guarantees supplies for this generation
and the next.
Complete detailed information regarding the entire proj
ect is available to all those who call at the office of the Pres
ident, Chas. A. Bingaman, in the New Sonnner Bldg L-i
Grande. We will be glad to discuss the possibilities with
you without obligation on your part
