Bowen and his man rode the rango for days in the attempt fo locate these cattle but were unsue- cessful. “It was after this search that a boy named Stupps reported to Bowen that he had seen Offley and Bert Taylor driving off these cattle and that Off- ley had told him that he had the right to drive thom.

Night Riders Shoot. “Three weeks ago (about January 15) Bowen, going home was met by two night riders who suddenly peared trom out a bunch of horses on the ranch.

I resolved to get away from it all and think it out by myself, before I formed an opinion upon which to base my own judgment of the future of Europe. Today I see a new vision. I do not forget the difficulties which are all too apparent, but Iam better able to measure their importance and I see a world which has been desperately il] entering the first stages of convalescence and the peo- les of those countries which have borne the brunt of the great strujyle preparing to face a future beset with many difficult, but filled with hope for men of courage and determina- tion.

The transportation which has carried munitions and supplies to the armies, and at the same time served the civil population at home, will be devoted solely to home requirements.

There are, of course, many excep- tions to this rule, but the peaple of England and France have more money than formerly, even though its buying power may not be as great. ‘We also sometimes forget the fact that.os wages are increased in a nation, the consuming power of that nation increases, for the in- creased wages quickly find their way into circulation. through the pur- chase of added comforts and luxur- ies. T recently read a very gloomy de- scription of the possible result of the increased wages in Englund and :the probability of England’s inability to compete in the export markets of the world. I will not attempt to argue this contention, for the result depends so largely on conditions which cannot be clearly foreseen at the present time. I have great.confi- dence in the sturdy common sense of the ‘British people and the man who prophesiés that their own action will be ‘the means of cutting off their markets is likely :to be without honor as a prophet in any country. If the wages in England remain ata higher level than before the war, as' sure every thinking man must be- lieve they will, for it is undeniably true, that English labor has been desperately unpaid for generations, the result of the higher wages will be.an increased demand among Brit- ish rubjects for ‘the products of their labor which will decrease the neces- sity for an export market. ‘The wages in many industries in Er.g- land have advanced several pounds a week. ‘Of conrse all of the popula- tion of the British Isles is not en- faged in jproductive pursuits, but if the average increase in wage should amount. to only $2.00. per week sper: head, for 2! of the population of re Seeks OF. rful Canals of France Tr. Peace Conference: L. Orlando, Clemenceau ar 45,000,000 peonle who live in the British Isles, there will still be an increase in spending power of $90,- 000,900,000 per week. I give there firures merely as an Mustration. I believe the wnaze increase will be vastly more than this amount. Much of this will-o in the higher cost of food ani living riecassities, but if the labor of Englanti is made more pros- perous, they will ‘consume great quantities of manufactured articles which have | fore been forced to find a t in foreign ‘lands, because the la!mr of England was so orly paid as te be unable to. buy, Fr so large a measure 2s should be the case, the pri: workshons.

Britain ‘has ‘been without power to manufacture or import motor cars, and with a strict regula- tion of gasoline. The fact remaii however, that a prosperous and wel paid people will consume ‘a much greater percentage of the products of their own factories than a people working for low wages. Neariy all of the observations which I have made are generalities, and do not apply to all of the na- tions of Europe, for the psychology ‘of each is different. If one thinks of the economic structure of France the first thought is of the thrift, of the French people. The care with which they utilize what is treated as waste ‘in ‘this country results in a saving nearly sufficient to support the French population. The recovery of France will be largely based upon the thrift of the’French people. In Germany the saving of the money which has been spent by past genera- tions upon its war machine will goa long way towards spaying the war debt which must he met by the next generation of Germans.

It is difficult to recognize it day by day, but as we took back it will-loom large. Lator needs a few headaches to understand capital, and capital a few backaches to under stand labor, while reform needs to ret ite hair cut to understand either.
