Messrs. Meacham and W,ma
returned Wednesday from a trip
through New Mexico.


The president will probably re-
ceive the republican nomination,
Notwithstanding the efforts of his
opponents to prevent it. In that
event a progressive democrat,
whose faith is known not only by
his words, but by his works, should
be our standard bearer-Dr. B. L.
Jefferson.
w. j. Galligan of Denver, presi-
dent of the San Luis Valley Beet
Sugar Company, was in Monte
Vista Tuesday on business trip.
He is very optimistic and is conf
dent of good beet crop in the
valley this year. The company is
making plans for material i'm
provements at the factory before
the beets are harvested.
One of our Grand Rapids SUBJ
scribers writes: "Our democratic
congress has come out for free
sugar according to last nights
papers. If they make a go of it
good bye beet sugar" Don't
worry! There can be some scheme
arranged by which the price of
sugar can be taken care of. We
are now importing Is per cent
of the sugar consumed in this
country. The beet sugar indus try
is here to remain.
A local bank down in the San
Luis valley early last fall advised
the farmers to feed cattle and
offered to loan money to them to
do SO. A large number took ad-
vantage of the offer and as con-
sequence have made some good
money in the business. Many of
the feeders have turned their fed
stock several times during the
season and thus made several
profits which means that the bank
kept raking in the shekels on in
terest account. The feed in the
country was worked off and thus
everybody was happy.-Field &
Farm.

PROFITS GUESSED AT

"The Durango plan," as devised
by Ward barley, calls for an equal
division of profit between the
stockholders of the factory and
the farmers who raise the beets.
The farmers are to receive $3.50
fat for each ton of beets delivered
at the factory Before the final
settlement is made at the end of
the season, the stock holders are to
be paid 10 per cent on their in
vestment. All the operating ex-
penses of the factory are to be
figured before the net profit will
be ascertained.
After that has been done the
net profit of the factory will be
divided equally, the stockholders
to receive so per cent and the
farmers so per cent.
with the Durango plan in OPP
Grafton the stockholders will real
ike profit of ID per cent or more
on their investment and the farm
ers will receive in the neighbor-
hood of s. a ton for their sugar
beets."
What the Missourians want to
know is whether these estimates
of profits are reliable and in case
of loss who is to stand for it?
The people of Durango raised
the $4,000 promotion fund. The
promotion committee, appointed
by the Durango Board of Trade,
backed barley up strongly. Then,
of sudden, the committee Topped,
side-stepped.
There seems to have been only
one thing wrong with the Duran
go plan, that it wouldn't work.
The latest from that field is briefly
summed up by the Durango Dem
ocrat az follows:
"As the result of disagreement
between the beet sugar factory
committee of the board of trade
and Mr.. Ward barley, the pro-
moter, the latter's contract is an
nulled and all negotiations for the
factory are cancelled"

AUTO|STS ARE SUS-
PEcTED OF BURGLARY
Thieves Escape With Furs and Silks
Worth $1,000.

Sioux City, Nov. 12.-Burglars
forced door OF the A. o. Ringsrud
store at Elk Point. S. D., Sunday
night and stole furs and silks to the
value of $1,000. They are thought
to have escaped in an automobile.
The burglary was discovered after
the store was opened yesterday
morning. The thieves had worked
so carefully that nothing seemed
disturbed Curtains still were on
the shelves. The best of furs and
silks had been picked out and the
coverings carefully replaced. Pony
and plush coats were missed.
Suspicion has fallen on two
strangers who spent several hours
yesterday at Elk Point. They made
inquiries about the road to Akron,
Iowa, but did not start for that
place. They travelled in a Chalmers
car that bore a paper number plate.
A description Of the stolen arti-
cles has been furnished the police.

The majority of the excursionists
were from points south of Wood
vile, Miss, which is 80 miles north

White men risked their lives to
save injured negroes from the rap

men rushed into the steam and
flames to rescue white persons as
we'll as members of their own race.
