INDEPENDENT SUGAR FACTORA
May Be BUILT IN GREED
DISTRICT BY EASTER
Representative of Capital Is Quietly
ing Beet Situation in Weld County-
operative Factory In Which FarmenV
lnterested-Recent Rulings Make Indl
Factory Possible.
Az Independent beet sugar fac

An Independent beet sugar fac
tory for Greeley.
Following rumors and specuIa-
ton on such an institution for sew
eral year. plans are finally under
way that contemplate the building
of a large independent factory in
Weld county. probably in or near
Greeley.
Representing practically unlimit-
ed eastern capital. prominent
eastern manufacturer has been in
Greeley and vicinity for several days
looking into the project. He has
been investigating conditions here
and sounding the sentiment among
the farmers. 1t is said that the aid
OF the farmers will be enlisted as
stockholders and in guaranteeing a
sufficient acreage to keep the FAC
tory going in return for which they
will receive price for their beets
commensurate with the prevailing
prices OF the manufactured product.
Independent factories have been
talked before in Weld county, but
it has not been until recently that
such proposition was safe for
capital because of the control Of the
mdTket eXeTClSeb ny Tue sugar
trust. The recent rulings of the in
terstate commerce commission rela-
tive to the sugar trust. its stopping
the rebating practices of railroads
to favored shippers and other subtle
methods of killing OFF all competi-
tion. have made it possible for an
Independent industry to operate
without being hampered as former
ly.
1t is believed that strong support
can be had for an independent fac
tory here at this time in view of the
excellent crop of beets and the re-
fusal of the trust to pay higher
prices for the beets. 1t was pointed
out by Mayor Speer in his Greeley
address that the beets the farmer
receives IS for manufacture about
SIS worth OF sugar
The Independent factory at Grand
Junction Is cited as an example that
might be followed in the Greeley
district. This was the first factory
built In Colorado and is owned
principally by Colorado Springs
capitalists. 1t has large percent
age OF its product unsold and ex-
poets to profit largely from the re-
cent raises In the prices OF sugar.

Prof. Hochbaum Talks ON "What Is

Near to Nature

Emphasizing the idea OF Esttins
love and knowledge OF ms tTe oY
personal observation and contact
with familiar things about u rather
than by storing up book knowledge
of things foreign to us. H. W. Hoch-
baum gave an unusually Interesting
talk to the ladies of the P 3. O.
Sisterhood Thursday afternoon on
the subject of What Is Nature
Study. Mr.. Hochbaum began his
talk by saying: Education should
fit one for life The high schools OF
today do not do this, but leave the
graduate untitled for any means OF
earning a livelihood. The new cdu-
cation is endeavoring to FL this
need with vocational school
Mature study should relate the
life of the individual befor5 the
school days with the life Of the
school. The school sholid be
taught in terms of daily environ
ment."
In closing Mr.. Hochbaun gave
warning that in study plans and
especially animals, should not be
endowed with human emotion and
sense of reasoning, as one .miEht be
led to do by certain authors and
nature takers.
1t was extremely Appropriate
that the work of the yea. on nature
study" to be taken up by the Sis
terhood should be outlined at the
first meeting by Prof. Hochbaun.
The meeting was held at the

euort to secure enough money to
build the dam. 1t is out OF the
question for the city to do SO at this
time, in view of the many obliga-
tions it has and the limited amount
of money that is at hand. Those
best informed believe that the only
way to get the lake for the kiddies
is for some big hearted person or
persons to come to the front, dig
down in their pockets and produce
the lecessary coin of the realm.
An attempt was made last Iall to
make a skating pond at Island
Grove park. Leading citizens work
ed hard for the project. small do
nations were made from men, wo-
men and children, but the conditions
were such that the ground would
not hold water, and the venture
that promised we'll proved a fail
ure.
Those who have looked into the
Glenmere lake proposition say that
no such failure need be feared there.
The conditions are right for lake,
they say, and all that is required Is
a good strong dam to insure six
acres of water surface.
1t has even been suggested that
the dam or the lake be named after
the person who will stand the ex-
pense OF construction.

There is a splendid opportunity
for some philanthropically inclined
person Of Greeley TO erect for MIN
self or herself an enduring monu-
ment. II will beat all OF the memor-
ial windows that can be put into the
churches after the embryonic phil
aprhropis, is dead. The monument
viii do homage during the life OF
the donor and will ftick like
brother TO his memory.
This monument will be similar 10
the one left by the late Mr.. Cheese
man of Denver. When he died, the
newspapers and people generally
united in declaring that his most
enduring work was the great
Cheeseman dam, impounding the
water supply OF the city of Denver.
Now the opportunity has come
for some Greeleyite to immortalize
himself with dam. Although 1t Is
a prosaic form of immortalizing a
name, it is extremely effective in
this case, since where the dam is
needed is in the new park just pre-
sented to the city in Glenmere ad-
dition. In the nineteen acres that
was given to the city Tor public
playground, there is a natural site
for a lake. The expenditure OF $500
to $1,000 will build a dam across
the little stream running through
the park. A $3.50 dam will make a
lake covering six acres, large
enough for boating and fishing in
the summer time and the real thing
for a skating pond for the children
in the winter.
