ENORMOUS INJUSTICE.
One of Rocky Ford's Lead
ing Industries Seriously
Damaged by False
Reports.

During the past few weeks items
have appeared in the Denver pa
pers which reflect severely upon
the Rocky Ford creamery. The
charge is made that Mr.. Babcock
is sending out oleomargarine in-
stead of butter. The state law
permits the sale of oleomargarine
when sold as such, but provides
heavy penalties for selling the
compound as butter. State Dairy
Commissioner Monson is empow-
cred to secure samples of all but
ter and alleged butter and analyze
them to ascertain if they are true
to name. In pursuance of this
duty Mr.. Monson procured n brick
of supposed Rocky Ford butter Of
the Sutton Mercantile Co., the
Pueblo agency of the creamery.
Mr.. Monson's analysis showed the
sample to have 81 per cent of fatty
acids and coloring matter, making
it oleomargarine and nothing else.
How came such stuff to be OH
the market as Rocky Ford cream
cry butter? It was never made in
Rocky Ford, nor shipped from
Rocky Ford. Mr.. Babcock makes
nothing but the best of creamery
butter--has no facilities for making
oleomargarine if lie desired to do
so. Some place along the line
somebody has packed olemargar-
Inc in bogus wrappers, counter
feited for the purpose of swindling
the public. Either this has been
done or the dairy commissioners
chemists got the Rocky Ford SAM
pie mixed with pure oleomargar-
inc samples. The Sutton Mercan-
tile Co. has reputation which
torbids the charge that the bogus
wrappers were provided by them.
A blunder ought not to be possible
in the dairy commissioners Office
whereby such a seriously damag-
ing report would obtain circula-
tion throughout the state. But
there is no possible question but
that sonnet ody has greatly
wronged the Rocky Ford cream
cry. The suggestion that Mr..
Babcock may have shipped in oleo-
margarine and packed it in his
own wrappers is too preposterous
to consider for moment. He has
been in the creamery business for
years, and always made the high
est grade of butter-has too much
business sense Ito say nothing of
his sterling integrity to permit
him to damage the reputation of
his product by attempting to palm
off oleomargarine for butter.
The important question now is:
Who is responsible for this very

is the only way to secure the per.
petuity of the Republic. Among
dagers which threaten the nation
are wealth, political corruption,
the foreign element, the rum
power and the great growth of
the cities. Let the people be
faithful and realize their RESPONSE
bility to God.

The business session was fol-

occasion, that by Gen. Royal, com.
of the G, A. r. of Colorado. We
are unable to give q synopsis of
Gen. Royals speech but it is uni
versally spoken of hs being q most
able patriotic effort, dealing with
topics especially pleasing to the
hearts of the old soldiers. Gen.
Royal has long had a reputation
for platform eloquence and his
Rocky Ford auditors acknowledge
that his standing as speaker is

The main address of the even-

Elections which won applause from
a large audience.
Gen. Royal was called on for a
