RAIsERs FEAST ON ROAST PIG.
Association Celebrated Its Victory
Over Rages Of Cholera Epidemic.

Monte Vista.-Roast pig was the
leading feature of the menu for ban
quet held in Monte Vista to celebrate
the close Of the first year of the organ
ization of the Monte Vista Hog Grow
ers' Association. AS far as possible.
the entire bill of fare for the banquet
was prepared from products grown in
the San Luis valley. About 200 mem
bers Of the association and business
men of the city who have contributed
toward its support were present at the
banquet. The Monte Vista Hog
Growers Association was Incorporated
upon the suggestion of DR.. George H.
Glover, state veterinarian, for the pur-
pose OF making united effort to
stamp out hog cholera in this section
OF the state. This was the first really
organized effort ever made in the
United States toward the elimination
OF this disease. A veterinarian was
employed and under his direction the
hog raisers cleaned up and disinfected
all places where the cholera appeared
and strict quarantine has been en-
forced. So successful have been these
efforts that, while In 1912 the losses
from cholera amounted to nearly so
per cent Of all herds, with a monetary
loss Of at least $4,000. the loss for
1913 has been less than $50 hogs, and
the greater part of these has been
among hogs shipped into the valley
from outside the state. While the ban
quet this year was confined to mem
bers of the association, 1t is expected
that arrangements will be made to
make the hog roast" an annual event,
open to all, on lines similar to the
various festivals held in other cities Of
the state.

the privately owned express service,
the American, Wells Fargo, Globe,
Adams and subsidiary concerns in the
same business OF package transporta-
tion have put into effect new sched-
ule Of rates with which they hope
to compete with the government.
Reduction all along the line Of from
20 to 27 per cent on 'long hauls' to
lesser amounts on the short hauls''
are announced, and In pamphlet ad-
dressed to patrons general informa-
tion on the subject is given. The
pamphlet issued from the Denver Of
flee of the American Express Company

every section in the United States

the rates should be regulated on ac-
feasibility to the region, population,
etc. For instance: Zone is the high
est because of the mountainous Sec
tion, railroad facilities and long hauls.

Pottage Is Nations Century-Old
Pledge of Capital Development;

Representation.
May 4, 1914

The only intense local enemies
OF the half-and-half provision are
those who look upon it as the pur-
chase price in pottage OF the Dis
trict 5 political birthright. Repre-
sentatives Johnson and Prouty
and some OF the most radical and
strongest OF the local suffragists
construc the act OF 1873 as in es-
sence such transaction. The
privilege OF voting in municipal
elections for all or part OF the city
officials Is viewed by them as an
American birthright. The price
OF the birthright. the mess of pot
tage for which it was sold, is in
their opinion the national contri-
button toward capital upbuilding
under the half-and-half pro-
vision OF the organic act.
Mr.. Johnson has expressed on
the floor OF the House his right
eous Indignation over this trans
action and has vented his with
ering scorn upon ashinyton as
a greedy. shameless. modern
Esau, and upon the Washing
tonians who prefer gold" TO
liberty" and who put the dollar
above the man by defending the
hali-and-half provision against his
assaults.
But the voting privilege in
municipal elections is, as we have
seen in preceding letter, not an
American birthright at all, but a
privilege to the municipality by
grace vi the state. and privilege
