SUGAR BEET
HARVEST IS ON
First Loads Were Hauled to
Scales on Tuesday
FACTORY CAMPAIGN
BEGINS NEXT MONDAY
Sugar Content Is Averaging High for
Start and Successful Cam
paign is Expected


On Tuesday of this week the
first wagon loads of sugar beets
were received at the local weigh
ing stations of the American Beet
Sugar Co. and the harvest of the
most valuable vegetable grown in
the world is now fairly on for the
season of 19l4-15.
Reports received from the out
lying dumps and shipping stations,
which this year include the
Lamar and Las Animas districts,
are to the effect that beets are
being received in sufficient guam
titles to assure supply at the
Rocky Ford factory to begin slic-
ing on Monday next, Sept. q,
when the big force of factory en-
ployes have been notified to be on
hand for the opening of the fac
tory campaign.
The big engines at the fnctory
were started up ON Wednesday for
the purpose Of running out the
brown sugar left from last season
and making thorough test of the
machinery, which has been over
hauled and repaired during the
mid-season, and everything was
found to be in perfect order SO
that the big plant will take up the
grinding of beets at its full capac-
ity when the campaign opens next
Monday.
Because of the blight which has
this year been prevalent in some
localities, the tonnage is expected
to fall a little behind that of last.
and this i'll connection with the
slightly decreased acreage will re-
duce the length of the campaign,
but it has been estimated that
there are sufficient beets to keep
the big factory in constant opera
ton until after the new year or
for about four months.
According to all reports the
beets are testing as high as usual
at this early date, and the present
spell of cool nights and warm sun
SHINY days is adding to the sugar
content SO materially that it is ex-
pected to average higher than
usual, and as result the farmers
will receive proportionately larger
profits from their beet crop this
year. The weather prospects are
now very favorable and the out
look for harvesting and marketing
the beet crop in this section has
never been brighter.
1t is estimated that nearly
150, 900 tons of sugar beets will be
handled by the Rocky Ford fac
tory this campaign, which means
that close to one million dollars
will be distributed to our farmers
for beets alone by the A. b. S.
Co.
With the big plant working full
force for an extended period, the
resultant labor payroll added to
the amount paid our farmers
should bring abundant prosperity
in this section and decided inn
provement in Rocky Ford bust
ness conditions this fall and win
ter.

La Junta Wins
Lamar failed to take the game last
Sunday and tie up the league race as
they confidently expected. La Junta
knocked the offerings of Gordon and
Littler to all corners of the ball yard,
while Starr had the false alarm hitters
at his mercy. Consequently La Junta
romped in an easy winner by score
of 10 to 2.

A UNIFORM
White Way
Cluster Lights Under Super
vision of City Engineer
STREET NAMES AND
NUMBERS MUST SHOW
According to Orders Emanating from
U. S. Postal observation-disclosures
Hall Must Pay License

In conformance to the policy of
street improvements determined
upon and now taking place under
the direction of the city council. it
was ordered at the regular meeting
of the council last Friday night
that all cluster light poles along
Main street must be of uniform
style, height, ETC., and must be in
stalled under the supervision, of
the city engineer. This insures
five and three cluster lights of
three and four to the block, and
will give us the most attractive
"White Way" of any town in the
state.
At this meeting of the council
Il H. Larmore appeared and asked
for compensation for his daugh-
ter's injuries resulting from fall
ing in hole in the street crossing
at Twelfth and Locust on Sept. 2.
The matter was referred to the
city attorney for investigation.
Several requests were received
for an extension of time to make
sewer connections. amongst them
that of John Vroman for his prop
erty on North Eighth street. Some
were referred to the health officer,
but the petition mentioned was re-
fused by the council.
M. S. Martin was granted a
billiard and pool hall license and
the bond of Police Magistrate
William Green was read and ap-
proved.
Complaints that the cemetery
gate was not kept closed and that
stock was getting in and running
the lots were referred to Alder
man Goodner, and the water COM
mittee came in for lacking up"
because of the flooding of lawns
and streets in the southwest part
of town through the clogging up
of laterals.
The proprietor of the South
Main street dance hall asked that
lie be allowed to run without a
license, the same as public dances
were allowed about town, and his
request was laid over for investi-
CATION until the adjourned meet
ing on Tuesday evening, VIXEN it
was refused, and SO Mr.. Scribner
must pay license to do business
in his dancing academy"
At the adjourned meeting Post
master Brown reported that the U.
S. Postal department demanded
that all streets within the city de-
livery circuit should plainly show
the street names at every crossing
and the street and alley committee
was instructed to have the streets
forthwith relettered and renum-
bered.
1t was ordered that all streets
and alleys must be cleaned, and
the marshal and health officer were
instructed to see that this order
is obeyed within reasonable
time.

Judge Advocate General %. II. Crowder is authority
for tho statement that tho actual per centage only

tho officials OF tho War Department but TO Americans
generally.
General Crowder attributes the low rate TO the
legislation passed by Congress mitigating the treat
ment deserers and other military offenders. In fact
he thinks that both Congress and tho War Depart
ment have done everything possible TO reduce deser

RODE AWAY IN

Although the robber or robbers who
stole the communion set from 81.
Johns p. j.. Church and part OF the
service from st. Andrews Church ON
Sunday, have not been caught, the po-
lice arc following q clue which it Is
thought Will result in en- arrest. This
clue was furnished by residents near
St Johns Church who recall seeing a
Young white man leave the church
building following the close Of the $50
O'Clock services on Sunday. Mrs.
Minnie Il. Jacobs, of No. 2122 Market
street. gave the clue as was stated in
THE EVENING JOURNAL yesterday.
After leaving the church the man
walked TO Twenty-second and Market
streets, and jumping into a waiting
automobile, he hurried away. The man
carried a straw suit case. He was
smooth shaver. wore dark clothes and
felt hat.
Members of St. Johns vestry were

ST. Andrews vestry will meet on
Thursday. In connection with the
robbery at that church il was stated
yesterday that a strange man had
been seen about the church during
Sunday morning after the 7.30 ser
vices. There is no doubt in the
minds of the members OF either
church that the robberies were COM
mitted by the same person or per-
! sons. It is also evident, they think,
that the guilty person has made him
! self thoroughly familiar with the time
! Of services, the customs and the habits
of those connected with both churches
and that he knew just when he could
enter each place in comparative
/ safety.

URGES GENERAL ACTION

URGES GENERAL AOAAON
ON HERESY CHARGE.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOl 'RNAL.
Sir. We have been waiting to sec II
any Of the other denominations or the
pastors thereof would endorse OF con-
mend their Baptist brethren for their
protest against the alleged heresy OF
DR. McNutt. now that you have made
il so public. Ii seems to us it would be
proper for every true Christian to COM
mend and endorse all our Baptist
brethren have said.
This heresy set forth by DR.. McNutt
strikes at the very basis Of the Chris
tian's hope. Remove the doctrine OF the
atonemcnt and you remove the entire
hone Of both Christian and jew. II IS
the theme of the prophets and apostles
II repudiated by anyone such person
might Just as well throw aside Gods
Word (the Biblel. Surely with such
statements coming from learned men
great lights as they are terned-it be-
hooves every true Christian to take "th6
sword Of the spirit, which is the Word
of Cod" and Eepel these adversaries
who, while appearing as Christians
deny the very foundation Of the Chris
tian doctrine.
We hope the pastors and brethren OF
all denominations will show forth then
faith in the atonement by commencing
the resolutions passed by the Baptist
brethren.
Yours in the atonement,
