after he knew the bank was insolvent.
At the time the case was filed Goddinp
was already under a $4,000 bond in the
other cases. so Judge Rizer did not ask
additional bond. But now as there is a
chance he might be pardoned the district
attorney asked that a bond be fixed. The
judge placed his bond at $4,000.
Attorney Glenn, who was present but
not in the case made objections. saying
he did not see how such an action could
be taken under the circumstances. He
claimed that the prisoner would have to
be released and placed under arrest on
before another bond could be
demanded. But the court thought other
wise and took the action noted above.

Farmers Union Demands Better Pri-
ccs for Bects and Cants.

The board OF the Farmers Coop
,:ativc and Educational Union for
the district comprising Pueblo, Otc-
TO. kioWa. PrOw"rs and Bent coun-
ties. met in Pueblo Friday and pre-
~arcd form OF contract which will
be submitted TO the beet sugar factor
les. The contract calls for a flat rate
OF s. per ton for sugar hccts. Mem
bcrs OF the board state that unless
this rate is granted, none OF the
farmers belonging to the union will
plant Dects and that it is certain. on
account OF a past Improbable season
the acreage will bc greatly reduced
no matter what rate is adopted for
the coming year.
Members of the board who were
prc~cnt at the meeting said that the
scales paid by the sugar factories this
year had proved ruinous to the beet
raiscrs. and that many of the farm
crs have suffered severe financial
losses owing to the failure OF the fac
tories to take the bects at any price
after they had been grown. The
farmers who are left in this prcdica
mcnt are feeding the bcets to cattle
in hopcs of realizing something for
their wears work. The general scale
OF prices paid was $3.50 for IL per
cent bcets and S. for IS per cent or
over. Different scales prevailed i'll
different localities. but members OF
the union say that in very few places
was any money made from the crops.
Another meeting OF the board will
be held At Rocky Ford JaJnuary 9,
=; which tho contract will be further
considered. The executive board
members feel sure that they have the
si;uation well in hand, and that none

PLEASING PROGRAM.
Woman's Club Meeting Last Satur-
day Was Most Interesting.


Noel Day meeting of the Woman's
Club held at the home of Mrs. Ella
NJ. Jackson on Saturday, December
10Th, was voted by those present a:
being one of the most pleasing. of
the year.
Miss Meyers read an article on
Christmas Day in France" describ-
ing in most graphic manner the life
and customs of the French folk at
this festive season, and illustrating in
a most effective way the light that
~uided the Three Wise Men of Old,
by flashing out a beautiful electric
star above a miniature reproduction
OF Bethlehem.
At the close of the description the
strains of the Adestc Fideles came
floating from above near and nearer,
soft and low. almost pcrsuading the
listeners that it was indeed midnight
of French Christmas eve and that
we were bcino thus summoned to the
celebration of midnight mass.
Small gifts in the form of creches
were presented to those in attendance
that we might further carry out the
spirit of the season, for poor indeed
least. one tiny representation of the
Manger and its Royal Guests.
Mrs. Clark next claimed and held
our attention with most pleasing
recitation. a Christmas Message"
from Wagner. followed by little
son" story. Tho Legend of the
Christmas Tree" which was bcauti
fully sung by Miss Lance.
In closing Mrs. Stout and Mrs.
IochncK gave an instrumental duet,
a niece well rendered and a happy
finale for our program.

contributed toward making the after
noon such 4 sucCess-COR.

l thought if we had misunderstood the
man this would be a chance to hear his
side. have always contended that we
are barking up the wrong tree when we
attack and legislate against John DIS
'rebating." The right Of private contract
is inherent in the principle of human
rights. and is supposed to be guaranteed
to US in the constitution. Afarmer has

he will haul one, If he wants to. We shall

the crude oil supply and the road-bed and
pipe line privileges Of the railway eompa-
niss. But that aside just now. The place
where John D. fell down on The witness
stand was where he confessed, and with
considerable naivets, that he had sent
spies into other mems private business
affairs with view to undermining their
business and compelling their surrender
to his great corporate power. He prae-
tieally verified all the charges that Miss
Tarbell made in her trenehant write-up
Of the Standard Oil Co. And yet. with
that oleagineous JUNCTION for which Chan
eellor Day SO much admirss him, no doubt.
he had the gall to say. "Providsnee has
forgiven me many things. and forgive
Miss Tarbell."
It is Christmas. and the Christmas
spirit has much in it that is commendable;
but what this old world still greatly needs
Is an all-the-year-round practice Of JUS
tics and honesty. not spasmodie charities
and pious gratuities.
