VALENTREA BRIDGE THAT SPANS
j- j : THE PONT VALENTRE AT CAHORS, FRANCE . ; I
"Built in 1308A perfect example of a medieval fortified bridge.
i'i$-Mi
' In alii the vor1d therei is notja
bridge like the Pont i Valcntre at
Cahors in the south of France.
It is both amusing arid amazing.
Amusing because it was built to keep
trespassers out, which nowadays
seems a queer notion of a bridge's
functions and purpose ; amazing be
cause, six hundred feet long and six
hundred years old, it still -looks lrtce
a brand-new toy, though on closer in
spection the rugged strength of every
line and. curve stamp it at once as a
perfect specimen of a fortified bridge
of the middle ages.
The beautiful symmetry of its
arches reflected in the limpid waters
of tbe Lot and the clear-cut silhou
ettes of its towers against the Midi
jky ulicr!y belie its original unbridge

TAJUUFF FACTS AND j
l L THE FARMER
' " '
After reading various . discus
sions of the tariff question which
are ( broadcasted to the American
public purely from a political an
gle, an American citizen interested
in seeing more business and less
politics instilled itr- governmental
affairs is impressed with the will
fully or criminally misleading
statements that are made on the
tariff question in order to influ
ence the farmer vote.
The 'tariff is for two purposes:
First, to protect producers against
destructive foreign competition
second, to raise revenue for the
government, j ,
The tariff as It exists today Is
a matter of fact, not of conjecture.
Why tell the farmer that the tar
iff fails, to protect him or that It
does protect him if the -statements
cannot be substantiated from the
public records?
Why say that the tariff increas
es the price of what the farmer
buys and reduces the price of what
he sells when the following facts

By Edward v. Lecour :
to the roadway; or by letting the in-
vaders crowd onto the bridge and
dropping the gates behind them, the
besiegers could be nicely trapped into
three senarate mobs milling around
in search of quick exit while the de
fenders j picked them off at leisure
from the towers with arrows, rocks,
boiling liquids, or any old weapon
that came to hand. English and
French, Huguenots : and Catholics,
embattled peasants and royal men-at-arms
staged many a free-for-all on
old Valentre, lustily knifing and
heaving; each other over the parapets
ia tlie approved medieval way of
showing one's faith and devotion to
God and country. " Human nature,
evident!), was pretty much the same
then as now; only the weapons have i
changed. j ;

m But Pont Valcntre has another dis-
tinctionj it literally spans the ccn-
turies. It leads from an up-to-date
railroad station by way of "Prest-
dent Wilson Street" straight to the
heart of a fourteenth century world,

are open to public inspection?
Let the tariff question be con
sidered from the standpoint ot
protecting the farmer, protecting
the worker and raising revenues
for the government. Neither the
Republican nor the Democratic
party should hate a corner on
such a program which affects all
the peopel of this nation. When
the people are informed on this
subject;,, politics will be eliminated
from the tariff question. j

farmer buys are on the, free list.
PRICE DECREASE
IT BETTER
Automobiles are t Cheaper
Today Than in 191 3
I More Beautiful
What motor cars cost in 1913
as contrasted with- their, cost to
day, demonstrates a striking proof
of the'economies wrought in auto
mobile manufacture and distribu
tion, j Nearly every make of car
that was sold in 1913 and is sold
today : cost considerably more in
the pre-war period.
Statisticians of the Chevrolet
Motor'1 Company have shown that
taking a group of cars -in the
$1500 class and a representative
group ot cars in the less than
$1,000 class, the price decrease
since .1913 has been almost 50
per cent, while the price differen
tial fqr all commodities as shown
by gqveinment figures is a 45
per cent increase over 1913.
In spite of the fact that the
price of automobiles is less today,
the product Itself has been vastly
improved. Today cars are more
beautiful, more comfortable, more
mechanically perfect and more de
pendable. The; Chevrolet statistical de
partment has worked out an in
teresting comparison between the
quantity of basic food products
that were required to purchase
a Chevrolet touring car in 1913
and that required to purchase the
corresponding model today. It
must be borne in mind that the
1913 Chevrolet factory price for
the touring car was $1000, while
the touring car that has succeeded
this model lists today for $510. '
The cotton grower in 1913
would have to pick and prepare
sixteen bales of cotton for a Chev
rolet, I while today he would need
to exchange but four bales.

OUT IN WEATHER
Local Cycle Man Believes
Jhat There Shou d Be a
Shed for Bicycles
i There is about ten thousand
dollars worth of bicycles out in
the weather every day at the new
Junior high school according to
an estimate made by Harry, Scott,
local cycle man. j
"The need of a shed where the
bicycles may be stood Is apparent
to one after visiting the school
during school hours. ' Something
over 200. bicycles may be seen
scattered around the school
ground, some in back, some in
front, some up against the build
ing and some out in front.
A shed in the rear ot the school
building would not cost very much
and would ad much to the ap
pearance, j Racks could be fixed
so as to allow about twelve inches
for each wheel. The wheels then
would be protected i from the
wealjher and there would be less
danger of them being stolen. It
would also be better training for
the students if they were required
to put there bicycles , in a rack In
place of throwing j them down."

Abundant Inland Fishing
Enriches Red Lake Indians
'RED LAKE FALLS, Minn., Oct
11. Red Lake Indians .the mod
el Chippewa band of Minnesota!
gathered this . summer 750,000
pounds of fish from Red Lake, it
has been announced by II. B
Dooley, superintendent of the Red
Lake Teserratlon. j
..During the last seven years the
Indians, under a contract with
the -state ot Minnesota, have re
ceived more than $500,000 for
fish taken from the lake.
' The, fishing season lasts but
three 'months during the summer
but last summer four Indians,
with the help of their squaws,
earned $1,000 each and one pair
of fishermen, back and .squaw
cleared $1,500. ;
This work at fishing, in addi
tion to the rich -timber tracts on
the reservation, enables the Red
Lake Indians to live comfortably
and to educate j their children
When the Senate Indian Affairs
sub-committee visited the . Red
Lake reservation for one of a
series of hearings among the Min
negota Chippewas, he members
found a welldressed, prosperous
and contented band ot Indians.
Under their contract with th
state the Red Lake Indians, com
prising about 17,000 men, women
and children, have exclusive com
mercial fishing privileges on the
lake, but they must sell all their
catch , to ; the state which has a
packing plant there. v
