BANKHEAD MAY GO

The house of representatives of Mis- sssippi has requested that an able speak CT be sent to address it's assembly on the Underwood boom before it's adjourn ment, scheduled for the middle of this month, and has suggested that Senator Bankhead be chosen to present the cause of the Birmingham candidate there. This message was brought to the local Un- derwood headquarters yesterday by Solon Jacobs, chairman of the transportation committee of the Underwood Marching Club of abama, who has just returned from a trip to Jackson, Miss, where he visited the Mississippi solons, now in session at the capital.
 According to Mr Jacobs the members of the house and senate are very en- thusiastic on the question of Oscar w. Underwood as the next occupant of the White House and expressed an urgent wish that the Alabama people would delegate Senator John H. Bankhead to appear before this body prior to it's dis banding, which is expected to happen about March E. Senator BanlShead is expected to be in this state at that time and it Is stated that arrangements may be perfected to have him make the speech to the Mississippi legislators. The propo- sition of having a representative of the Underwood campaigners speak as request ed will be submitted to the local eX- ecutiVe committee.

On Business

While I went to Jackson for business reasons, I could not lose an opportunity to talk about the most important polit- ical matter of the day, the election of Oscar w. Underwood to the presidency of the United States said Mr. Jacobs yesterday when referring to his Missis- sippi trip.
 Going up to the state capitol I found the Mississippi house of representatives and senators deeply interested in the can didacy of Mr. Underwood and anxious to hear more about him. his principles and his personality. number of the sem ators asked me to suggest to the execu- tive committee of the Underwood March ing club to appoint a capable man to speak to the house and senate before it's They are Underwood s warm admirers and are liberal in their praise of his superior qualities.

BONUS FOR EARLY BEETS.

July 20, 1917.
TO OUR GROWERS:
According to our books and re-
ports frcm our field men, We will
nave the largest tonnage of beets
this year we have ever had, so, we
must start our factory early to en-
able Us to handle this crop. 1t is
a benefit to the grower as well as
to the factory to get started early
for the reason that when we start
to receiving 'beets we are always able
to get all the cars we want for beet
loading and the grower is not de-
layed in delivering baets on account
of shortage of cars; also, if grow
er strts delivering early he is not
in any danger of having his beets
frozen in the ground as many of
our growers beets were last year.
In regard to sugar content, will
say, that the beets which were dug
early last year showed a higher per
centage of sugar and brought the
grower more money than the beets
which were dug at the finish of the
season. However to make the
early digging more attractive to our
growers, We will offer the following
proposition:
We viii star sampling about the
middle of August in our usual way
and as soon as the growers beets
test high enough in sugar, we will
order them to begin digging, and
on all beets which are ordered dug
and received at cur receiving sta
tons on or before September 10th,
we will pay bonus of 40 cents per
ton, or 40 cents more than our con-
tract calls for.
On all beetS which are ordered
dug and received at our receiving
stations from September 10th to
September goth, inclusive, we will
pay bonus of 25 cents per ton.
On all beets which are ordered up
and received at our receiving sta
tons from September goth to Sept
tember 30th. inclusive, we will pay
a bonus of 10 cents per ton
By offering this bonus. it should
be an extra inducement for every
one of our groewrs who have very
many acres of beets to begin early
and get this extra pay. This will al
SC give you a check on October Is.
il stead of November Is.
Hoping if you are one of our grow
ers who receives orders to begin
digging early you will do SO and that
the results will be satisfactory
Very truly yours,
THE WESTERN SUGAR & LAND
COMPANY.

Colorado's output this year is es-

This is easy enough to do when

REBELS THREATEN DEATH OF
ALL AMERICANS IN MEXICO

Elpaso, Tex, July 3O.-Lou Lach,
Mormon from Dublan, who arrived
here with his family last night,
said today:
SalaZar's staten ent followed his or
Irandes and again at Pearson, that
ii Intervention did not come from
the Americans within the next few
days, that rebels will begin to kill
every American they find, and keep
up the massacre until America Is
forced to cross the border. SalaZar
stated that 1t was the direct order
from General Orozco."
Not one of our people has been
der to disarm the Mormon colonists
at Colonia Dublin, Saturday. The
colonists surrendered 100 rifles and
about 1000 rounds of ammunition.
They Immediately prepared to
send their women and children to
El Paso. $50 arrived here last
night and more came today. The
rebels left Colonia Dublan with the
declaration that they would en-
force the same order at Coolnia
Jiuarez against other Mormons
Apostle Wins declared today:
Not one of our people has been
mistreated by the rebels so far, but
profiting by the hard experience dur
ing the past when they were as
sured of rebel protection they de-
cided to send their families away
Immediately when they were inform
ed that the guarantees were with
drawn. The rebels did not violate
any of the Mormons' homes. They
mercy issued orders that the Nor
mons should bring all arms and am
unition and this was DONE
Some Americans who recently left
Mexico consider that it will only
be few days before Intervention by
the United States is forced. They
say they expect the destruction of
all Am erican property.

An exchange wants to know if
anyone has heard of a single Demo-
crat in Colorado who is going to
vote for Taft. The Independent has
heen told of one-Judge Martin of
North Delta. Judge Martin is an old
time southern Democrat His Ian
guage, We are informed, was: 81
have never voted any but a Demo-
cratic ticket in my life, but l ex-
pect to vote for Mr. Taft this fall. l
believe with many of the people of
the South, that Mr.. Taft is the only
safe presidential candidate who can
be voted for this fall This was
not said to the Independent by
Judge Martin, but came through one
of his neighbo1s and we have no
right 10 question its truth. Judge
Martin is a well informed citizen
and the argument used must seem
to him a forceful one to urge the
sacrifice to that extent, party ties
which he has cherished a lifetime,
in his vote for president.

DEATH OF JAPANESE EMPEROR

Mutsuhito, emperor of Japan, died
Tuesday, July 80, at 12:43 a. m, of
acute nephritis.
The crown prince Yoshihito, sue
ceeded to the throne.
The emperor had been unconscious
since dawn Monday and had grown
more feeble each hour until death
which occurred in the presence of
the imperial family and the minis
ters of state.
The great crowds which had been
gathered for days outside the i'm
perial palace remained to the end
in silence, and even after his mai
esty's death was announced, remain
ed in the vicinity seemingly
hopelessly depressed
The crown prince was overcome
by the sad event and remained at
the palace in consultation with the
ministers of state, arranging for the
imperial funeral and for the con-
duct of state affairs.
Mutsuhito was crowned at Kioto
October ~. 1868. Eleven days later
he chose the name of Meiji to
designate the era of his reign. His
wife was horn in 1850. She is known
as ner imperial majesty, Haruko.
The new emperor is the third son
Of Mutsuhito and was born August
81 1879. He was nominated in 1883
and proclaim ed crown prince in 49,
SS. He married Princess Sabako and
they have three sons, the youngest of
whom was born in 1906.
While the emperor of Japan has
been emperor of his country for 43
years, period during which the
empire has made remarkable indus
trial and political progress, he has
lived life of comparative seclusion
and has rarely appeared in the con
duct of affairs of state. He ever
worked through his ministers and
advisers. The war with Russia and
It's successful termination, was ono

One of the things for which the
progressive Republicans of Delta
county can be commended for, is
their decision to stand by the nom
nees of the Republican county as
sembly, and, whatever may come.
we believe they will not regret
that decision. Colorado and it's
counties, we hope and pray and be-
lieve, will not always be mixed up
in political factions, and the home
is to be locked after first, polite

seems to be full of business fools.
A third paper in Montrose recently
went to the wall and it's material
was scattered to the four winds by
sheriff's sale for the benefit of the
creditors. And all this despite
the hardest kind of work on the part
of the owners and managers, who
were average newspaper men and
well acquainted with local situations
and that, by the way, is no mean
advantage. There are papers all

The Farmers Wife Today.
From the Atlantic


A generation ago the wife and mother
compared her lot with that Of her pioneer
grandmother. and felt that she had much
to be grateful for. Today the past Is for
gotten; comparisons must be made be-
tween herself and city sisters and friends
The family album with its reminders of
yesterday is seldom opened. Today is
ever at hand in the automobiles honk,
the jingle Of the telephone bell and the
headlines of the daily paper.
These farm women find themselves in
a new civilization, but not of it, They
have as great a long ng for the best that
life can offer as have the well gowned
club women of the cities. In many cases
from a financial standpoint they can as
well afford the luxuries of modern life
as the majority of those who possess
them. But as the wives of farmers they
must give themselves to the land. Their
houses go neglected that they may help
with work In the fields. Their hands are
coarse and rough from assisting their
husbands with pressing work on the land.
Wives of wealthy farmers, I'm this our
semble in their appearance ignorant, poy-
erty-stricken peasant women of Europe
Many a farmers son who has compIeted
the course of the city high school has
been helped to do so by the sacrifices OF
an overworked mother back on the farm.
who has taken upon herself many OF the
tasks that otherwise would have been
his. In the hearts of these lonely toll
worn women love for farm life Is turning
to bitterness. and the daughters are elect
ing new things.
