Strictly Personal.

Most merchants send to their custom
ers monthly statements Of the amounts
purchased. and in many cases expect
monthly settlements. This is most ex-
eellent practice and il adopted by the
country newspapers would be many dol
lars in the pockets Of the proprietors.
This is introductory to calling attention to
the subscription statements which are
enclosed in this weeks Enterprise. Dur
ing tho past summer no hint for money
has appeared in our columns and we
think that this long indulgence Of those
who are in arrears should result in very
prompt payment OF tho bills sent today.
Our bills for labor. paper. etc.. must be
paid every week. or every month at the
farthest. II our subscribers will but re-
member this fact they can see the injus-
tiee Of asking tho Office to carry them for
long periods. Hence we hope for very
general and cordial reception Of the en-
closed bills and for \ rapid infowing OF
cash between now and Jan. !.

THE BEET SUGAR
INDUSTRY ATTACKED!
The Storm Of Adverse Legislation Must Be weehered By Good
Management the Farm and in the Factory

the Philippine Islands. it certainly could
not have pre-arranged these attacks on
important American industries. Whether
or not the protest Of the domestic interests
will be heard remains to be seen. Al
though a recent press dispatch reports
that Senator Lodge has had a special
conference with Pfesiden, Roosevelt on
this subject. and that this measure may
not be urged at the coming session OF
congress. the domestic interests have
been forewarned and may as well pre-
pare for fight to tho bitter end against
such continued attacks.
In the meantime. tho bee. sugar in
dustry must make greater efforts than
ever to strengthen itself by every possible
Improvement In technique, methods OF
manufacture. fuel economies, careful So
lection Of imported bee; seeds. raising OF
hardy home grown seeds. increase in the
sugar contents Of tho beets. moro ratonial
methods OF cultivation. u;ilixations OF by
products. and the like. BY such means
Il will DO possible. not only to weather
the storm. but to stand forth stronger and

Tho reciprocity treaty with Cuba will

20 per cent reduction Of import duties to

dueers. when we hear Of . new danger to
the domestic interests in tho form Of spe-
eial legislature fAvoring sugar and to-

Do Your Trading at Home.

Now that the holiday trading season is
just beginning. it is well for every loyal
citizen Of every Colorado town and city
to remember. that his own interests as
well as those Of his town depend on home
trading. Special inducements are offered
at this time Of the year to the people Of
small places to buy their goods from the
big department stores, and great many
avail themselves Of the opportunity to
make selections from the mail-order cat
alogues. The result is generally unsatis-
factory TO the purchaser. who finds that
he could have bought the same quality of
goods at home for the same prices. and
saved the trouble and delay Of sending
away.
Money spent at home has double val
ue. for It helps to build up the town at
the same time that it benefits the local
merchant. These are things which should
be taken into consideration by every
Christmas shopper Journal.
