The above holds more truth than you
would think at first glance. Stop and
take a look at yourself and see if you
are not taking this matter of living too
seriously. The present is as good
period to CLEAN enjoyment out Of life as
any future period will be. The accumu-
lation of money is not the highest enjoy
ment you can get. Take business in
stitution like this, for instance, and the
keenest enjoyment we can get is the ser
vice we can render you. or course it is
essential that we make fair profit on
our investments, but on the other hand
we feel that you are the ones that are
entitled to share in the benefits that can
arise. There is something more than
just getting your dollar and then taking
no further interest in you. 1t is a game
of give and take, you help us and you
will find we are always willing to render
accommodations back to you.
The price of ranch eggs has advanced
the last few days to 17lsc per dozen.

All the ladies of the store enjoyed a

A FAVORABLE REPORT

The first annual report of the
San Luis Valley Beet Sugar COM
pany submitted to the stockbold-
ers at their annual meeting in
Denver Monday shows that the
company in the initial year of its
operation earned four per cent net
on its capital of 81, 100000. This
showing exceeded the most SAN
gulne expectations of the directors
and was pronounced by President
W. }. Galligan to be most credit
able in view of the fact that it WAS
the first year in new territory,
and but a small acreage was plant
ed.
The report shows the net earn
lngs to be S59,271.97, amounting
to eight per cent on the preferred
stock. Over SS2O,OOO is invested
In the factory and factory site at
Monte Vista, Colo, and in equip
ment.
In reviewing the work of the
year President Galligan declared
that the unfamiliarity of the grow
ers with the growing of sugar beets
developed a lesser tonnage than
was expected. The retiring direct
ors were reelected, with one ex-
ception, that being the selection of
o. W, Sylvester of Monte Vista to
succeed W. O. Station. The other
directors are j. B. Cosgrif, George
Mclean, W. J. Galligan and w.
ID. Hoover of Denver; John E. Os-
born, Rawlings, Wyo.; and E. F.
Dyer of Cleveland, Ohio.

ing to be erected will be 400 feet
long and lis feet wide, OF modern

because he was poor. No person &C
cused Of crime ever sought his aid in
deferss and was denied because ap-
pearance were against him In the
cause of the outcast and helpless his
ability as an advocate reached it's
highest mark. because he knew that
the world is cruel in its judgments
and that to be down and friendless is
to be out. To the aid Of the penniless
accused or INDECENT sutton he brought
an enthusiasm and determination of
which few lawyers can boast and of
which all might be proud He loved
men, and detected good in those whom
others stigmatized as irredeemable
Because he was sincere, truth loving
and discerning, and because he hated
shams and pretenses, Mr.. Lowry was
not a speaker for all occasions. He
could not arouse an audience, however
we'll chosen his language and address,
unless spurred by his faith in a client
or the just demands of a cause. He
could not make an impromptu speech
such as may be made by those who
love to hear themselves talk, for he
was not loquaci Jus, not full of

he was perhaps the most effective
forensic orator among the mem bers of

Rotation Of Crops Reduces Pest Loss

Insect and fungus pests are annual

to avoid large part Of this loss and
one which pays profits rather than
costing money is TO practice intelligent
rotation of crops Fur ther, the proper
system of rotation prevents running
down of the fertility. It builds up
the soil and makes it more productive
