We. or Dry question Up.

A mass meeting Of the business
men OF Swink was held in the town
hall Friday night to ascertain II 1t
was the test policy for all concern
ed to have this town become anti
saloon territory. Every business man
present expressed himself as salts
fled with the present conditions OF
affairs and agreed to do everything
in their power to let the saloons re-
main here. Further Investigations
ipto this unpleasant struggle which
We are now in, demonstrates the fact
that it is a fight between the tax
payers and the non-tax payers. Al
most every tax payer Is fn favor OF
the town getting the revenue from
the saloons, while those who are
not paying taxes think the saloons
are a detriment A united effort Is
being waged by all business men by
which they are determined to leave
no stone unturned and they hope to
leave the saloons here by an over
whelming majority.

La Junta can reach. 10000 900 read
ers every week by expending $50
per week in classified advertising in
the leading Sunday dailies. agricul-
turaI journals, and magazines. Such
an advertising campaign would bring

all subscribers would have access.
getting names and addresses from
the secretary every week. f
This would make highly valuable
list of names and the results would
be the bringing into the city OF La
Junta from 500 to 1000 new famil-
les within year. Five hundred fam
les would bring in from $1,000 to
$1,000 capital apiece. They would
buy lots, build houses. buy farm land
and by increasing the revenue OF
city and county. bring about lower
laxes. Every merchant, business man
or laboring man would soon begin
to feel the results in larger business
and increased earnings.
We should get up nicely Illus
trated folder describing La Junta and
the irrigated lands under the various
canals near here. setting forth the
many advantages this locality offers
to the homeseeker Hundreds OF
thousands OF people are seeking west
ern locations. Other cities are spend
ing money to attract these settlers
elsewhere. La Jun> must let the
country know where La Junta is and
Z what La Junta offers. This is not a
time to sit idly by and see other
states. other counties and other
cities get this tide of capital without
reaching out OBTAINING hand.

This is a small sum, but 1t would
rebound to the immediate good OF
all our residents. There is not a
business man in La Junta who could
afford to refuse to subscribe 300
toward fund that would attract
from 100000 to $1,00O,0o0 to the
city within twelve months, besides
increasing our population by 1000 or
8 900 people. We must advertise our
advantages or they will remain un-
known. We must rustic for settlers
or resort TO the slow process Of a
natural increase.
With fifty business men pledged
for 800 apiece, 1t would not be long
before another fifty would find it to
their interest to subscribe also. and
thereby increase the fund available
for advertising. 1t would be quite i'm
portant to have access to the list
OF inquirers interested in seeking a
western location. Those with lots,
houses, farms or business to sell
could soon come in contact with a
purchaser. Capital would flow in and
La Junta would begin to grow.
To follow a live up-to-date course
Of advertising and hustling for five
years would bring US in a population
Of Is 900 people. and property would
advance more than 800 per cent in
i've years.
We need more buyers. We need
