IS DEPL0RED
FOR CHURCHES
Denver Divine Says 1t, is Crime
and That Aims of Christianity
are Defeated

That church competition is
crime and the chief cause of the
failure of organized Christianity to
make satisfactory progress wds the
assertion of the Rev. d. ID. Forsyth
at the Men and Religion meeting
held in the Central Presbyterian
church in Denver.
Il know towns where five or six
different denominations are trying
to make living and every one OF
them is falling he said. Lack of
Christian unity is retarding the
Characterization of the world, and
we ministers are more to blame for
it than anyone else.
"Christianity is nowhere near
keeping pace with immigration in
this country. One great denomina-
ton reports 10000 rural churches
closed for want of patronage
Churches are interested only in
their own denomia ton. l know a
wyoming town that had six
churches, and they combined and
hired minister. Now they are do
ing good work"
A. F.. Sitlow declared that only
by getting together is there any
hope for the church.

WELD COUNTY FARMERS
have IMPORTANT MEETING

having been appointed to confer
with Mr.. Ward Darley regarding
the securing of an independent
sugar factory or factories for this
locality, have decided to secure the
sentiment in regard to such an en-
terprise, and are causing to be cir
culated for signature a statement
that the signers will raise certain
number of acres of sugar beets for
the support of such an enterprise,
provided the beets are paid for upon
the Durango plan of profit sharing.
and we would appreciate it If each
farmer in Weld county would ex-
press his Willingness to support this
move, as we believe it will result in
the growers securing much better
price for their beets than at present.
Respectfully submitted,

The issue concerned matter
which grew up about two years ago
when an Improvement ca, paign
was instituted. At that time GER
tain taxpayers in the district stood
for the Improvement of the school
grounds with trees, shrubs, etc, and
the planting of lawns on the school
lot Others opposed this on the
grounds of the expense. The i'm
provement crowd won the election
and the school house grounds were
beautified.
The non improvement side con-
tinued to stand for different pol

economical school management
mustered their forces. 1t is said
that feeling ran so high that a

AULT MUST
GET WATER
FOR PLANT
lOWN BOARD CONSIDERING
PROBLEM OF SUPPLY FOR
NEW HULLING PLANT-BIKES
MUST KEEP OFF SIDEWALKS

Aulr, May S.-Some way will be
devised by the Ault town board to
furnish the Empson Pea Hulling
plant water for its boilers and other
factory uses from the city water
plant. This was one of the principal
topics talked over at the meeting of
the town board last night at which
Mayor Hill presided with all mem
bers attending. The Empson plant
needs considerable water for wash
ing the peas and for six weeks in the
year must have it. There is no
abt but what the supply will be
forthcoming at the proper time.
There was also considerable dis
cussion concerning the collection of
water rents at the meeting. 1t was
decided that on failure to pay such
rent by the firth of the month the
party should be notified and fined
25 cents If unpaid then the water
shall be shut off the premises and a
fine OF 81 assessed. 1t was ordered
that all licenses be promptly paid on
automobiles and bicycles, also that
bicycle riders keep off the side
walks. The street grading has been
completed at a cost of about slue
and many paid their poll tax by
working it out.
Every thing considered town af-
fairs are in good shape and the slo-
gan of the board is Economy in all
things.
