Of Interest to Beet Growers

1t has been rumored of late by par
ties not conversant with the methods
of beet raising and the lucrative re.

very unprotitable way of gaining a
livelihood. For the benefit of these

ering of their interests as we'll at
our own, | wish to state briefly few
facts concerning beet culture backed
by the testimony of some of your
well known growers.
Fist, we will compare the bee,
crop with other crops raised under
the same conditions When farm
er plants alfalfa, wheat. oats, OF po-
tatoes he has not the remotest idea
what he is going to receive for his
crop after its maturity. The down.
fall of his neighbors means his own
salvation for should there be an
abundance of hay or grain the prices
will be low. whereas, a big price will
mean small crop for an indefinite
period before finding buyer. Dur.
ing the past three or four years while
the potato crop has been enormous We
all know that the price received has
been so meagre that bushel upon bush
el have been allowed to rot upon the
ground, the market price being far
too low to pay the grower for the
mere handling. On the other hand,
when grower plants piece of
ground to beets. he is assured from
the start of receiving good price
for his product whether his crop be
small or large. When his tonnage is
small, he will, as he would with any
other crop, receive good price for
the actual crop produced whereas
should the crop be large, he Will still
receive this same good price. regard
less of his neighbor's crop. and will
find that he has received more money
for his product than he could have
possibly received for any other crop.

NOW A FREE
READING R0ON
Another Attraction Which GIenwOod
Mas Long Needed Has This
Week Been Supplied
OPENING WAS MOST ENCOURAGING

The boys of Glenwood Springs, yes,
and the girls too, bless EN-, are to
have place where they can spend an
evening reading choice literature and
the current papets and periodicals of
the day, or indulge themselves in in
noceut games. in a warm, cozy room
with cheerful and congenial associates.
This has long been the dream of
many in Glenwood who have deep
interest in the welfare of the boys and
girls of the town. This dream took
definite shape couple of months ago
when some of the good people of the
town, including the teachers in our
schools, put on the county fair at
Dougan's hall and thereby raised a
fund with which to properly equip a
reading room for Glenwood Springs.
Splendid rooms have been secured
at the Grand hotel, and Thursday
evening these we're formally opened,
and the record of the evenings dona-
tions is 216 books and $25. so in cash.
Several newspaper and magazine sub
scriptions have also been donated
Refreshments were served by the good
ladies and music was provided by the
GIenwood Mandolin club, and the
evening was passed in very enjoy
able manner, every one seeming de-
lighted with the privilege os contrib
uting to such worthy cause.
1t is the intent to set aside certain
evenings for men and boys and other
evenings exclusively for the gentle
sex, and to place the rooms in charge
of some discreet person who will insist
on perfect compliance with the rules
which will later be adopted for the
government of the library.
Considerable funds are now avail
able for adding to the list of the
books and equipment from time to
time, and it is to be hoped that the
project will prove in every way a
complete success and that our citizens
will continue to show their apprecia
tion of the efforts made along this
line.

FOR SWEET
CHARITY'S SAKE.
GIenwood CIergymen Organize a
Charitable Society with Broad
Views as to Scope
To BANQUET AT THE GLtNWOOD

A movement that is full of posi-
bilities for Glenwood Springs was in
augurated at meeting of the clergy
men of the town held Tuesday after
noon. There were present at this
meeting. Rev. Kester, of the Method
list church, Rev. Currens, of the
Presbyterian church, Father O'Dwyer
of the Catholic church and Rev.
Bulls. of the Episcopal church.
The meeting was for the purpose of
discussing the feasibility of forming
something on the lines of Charity
Organization society. The proposed
organization is intended to further
the intelligent giving of assistance to
the needy in a manner and at times
when it will be of service. There is,
among the permanent population of
the town, practically no real poverty,
but it often occuis that among the
transients, who come here for the
sake of the baths, there are people
who need little looking after along
these lines.
The cleIgymen do not desire to
usurp the functions performed by any
lodge or other organization of the
town, but rather to work in conjuc-
ton with any such body They will
undertake the investigation and rec
Cmmendation of cases, and will leave
the actual distribution work to some
named by the business men of the
town
To get the matter squarely before
the people, they decided to hold
banquet on February 5 in the dining
room of the Hotel Glenwood, and
formed themselves into committee
to make preparations for this affair,
Rev. Bulls, as the one who has long
est resided in Glenwood, being chosen
AS chairman, S. j. Kester as secretary
and j. w. Currens treasurer,
During the discussion of the propo-
sltion, the absence of Board of Trade
in town was commented upon. Had
there been such body the clerical
gentlemen would have taken the prop
osition up with the business men
through that body, but in its absence
they propose to do the next hest thing
and get the business men together
themselves,
While the charitable proposition is
the prim ary object in view, the cler-
gymen state that they are ready to
join in any movement for the good of
the town. and if they are able to form
their society they hope to see it or
ganized along lines that will make it
a charity organization in the broad.
est sense of the word
Such a movement is unique in the
history of municipalities, and the
least the business men can do is to
give the parsons chance. They can
do this not SO much by chipping in
their little mite toward the banquet,
but bv giving their personal attend
ance for that one evening. What
ever surplus there is left over after
paying the expenses of the meeting ON
the fifth, will be used as nucleus
for fund for the charitable purpose
of the society
Tickets for the banquet will be
furnished to business and professional
men only at 81. 90 each.
