paign and Promise Support.

La Junta has been dry town
since July. 1908. II was voted dry
at the city election in April OF that
year, but was not officially made
SO until July. pending a decision OF
the supreme court as to whether one
ward. which voted wet-the ward In
which the saloons were located
would remain wet territory. when
the town as Il whole voted dry The
supreme court decision was against
the saloons. as II usually Is whenev-
er case is submitted to 1t. The
saloons have no rights. under the
law. except those granted to them
by the people. and in consequence
the people Of a community are them
selves responsible for all the Ills and
heartaches that result from the tol-
Grafton OF saloons.
The Tribune Is of the opinion that
the people Of this community would
vote for a dry La Junta on any day

VALLEY DITCH ASSOCIATION
Elect Officers and Hear Report ON
status OF kansas.< 'Olorado Suit
~ Assessment Made.

A very distinguished looking rep
resentation of the ditch interests OF
the Valley convened In La Junta last
Tuesday on the occasion of the an
nual meeting of the Arkansas Valley
Ditch Association. The personnel OF
the meeting included directors from
every ditch In the Valley, besides
many other notables, among them
being two state senators and one rep
resentative. who We're always ad-
dressed by their proper title. and al
so enlivened the occasion by making
numerous and sundry addresses for
the enlightment OF the common herd
present.
AT the morning session Fred A.
Sabin. attorney for the association.
made an interesting report as to the
status OF the kansas-C colorado suit
The complainant In this suit is the
United States Irrigating Ditch Com
pany. composed of a coterie of Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver capitalists,
including Penrose a Mcneil who
went into Kansas and bought some
old bitches that had been abandoned
for years, with the hope that the
courts would sustain the contention
advanced In the Kansas c Colorado
suit. and thus enhance the value of
IA bankrupt property into millions of
dollars at the expense of the people
OF Colorado.
In his report Mr., Sabin said that
the complainants In the suit had al
ready taken twelve volumes of testi-
mony. each volume containing 500
typewritten pages fourteen inches
long. There will probably be two
volumes more before the testimony
OF the complainant Is all In. and 1t
the testimony for the defendants on
the Colorado end OF the suit MIR. Sa-
bin. however. Is confident that the
Arkansas Valley will win II no t.su-
mony other than that of the com
piainant was submitted.
The complxinants claim $50 sec

In Kansas that have been abandoned
for thirty years. and if the claim WAS
sustained by the courts II would ef-
feet $3.50 feet that are now being
taken out OF the river by bitches In
Colorado. The sum that has been
expended In defense OF this suit al
ready amounts to s42.2s5. but the
association very cheer:uily voted an
assessment OF 81 per second FOOT on
every ditch In the valley to carry on
the fight
Two resolutions were adopted
one commencing Governor Ammons
and the last Legislature for the aid
they had given the association In Its
fight to retain th. water of th. Ar
kansas river aud m. other expressing
sorrow for the death Ia Denver OF

cHILDREN'S BUREAU
SHOWS SUFFRAGE NEED
Julia Lathrop, Head Of National! Chill.
dren's Bureau, Pleads for
Suffrage.

Without a word in 1t about suffrage,
Miss Lula c. Lathrop's admirable re.
port for the Federal Children's Bureau
Is one Of the strongest arguments for
voman's ballot eve printed. The fact
that about 300, 900 babies under a year
old die annually in the United States
fully half of them from preventable
causes-shows the great need of more
attention to child conservation. In
New Zealand, where nurses are sent
around to all mothers to teach them
how to keep their babies healthy, the
infant death rate is the lowest in the
world.
Striking proof Of the good sense and
tact of Miss L%athrop's women investi-
gators is furnished by their success in
getting the information wanted. The
first investigation was made in Johns
town, Pa.
"A schedule was prepared for this In
quiry to embody. when filled out, a pic
ture of the social. civic and Industrial
conditions of the families studied, to-
gether with q careful history of the
growth OF the baby during the first
year Of its life, with special attention
to feeding. The questions were neces-
sarily intimate and difficult, and only
women agents were, of course, employ.
ed in securing the replies. How far
the good will Of the community was Sc.
cured is indicated by the fact that
1851 schedules were secured and
there were two r~efusals."
Miss Lathrop asks for an increase OF
the STAFF to 76 persons. and an increase
d the appreciation to $164.64O. II the
mothers of the United States were
voters, there is no question that the re.
quest would be granted. A. s. B:

List Includes Names Known
to Every American Citizen
SUFFRAGE IN NORTH DAKOTA
WILL BE A SUCCESS AS IT
is ELSEWHERE.

These are some of the great Ameri.
cans, men and women, who are for
suffrage. Civic patriots that they are,
they believe in protecting the country
from the enemy within as well as from
without. They believe that in a re.
public all citizens should have the
right to shape the policies of that a
ton.
Abraham Lincoln: I go for all shar.
Ing the privileges of the government
who assist in bearing it's burdens, by
no means excluding women.
William Jennings Bryan: l am not
willing to deny to my wife any political
right which l exercise myself.
Hon. Robert M. La Toilette: I have
always believed in woman suffrage to
the same extent as nan suffrage.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley: If woman
suffrage were not desirable for any
other reason, it would be worth while
merely because it would ensure better
pure-food legislation.
Jane Adams: City housekeeping
has failed partly because women, the
traditional housekeepers, have not
been consulted as to its multiform &C
t~ivities.
William Dean Howells: Everything
In the movement to give women the
suffrage appeals to my reverence and
sense of justice.
Tom L. Johnson: A truly enlight.
ened and democratic form of govern
ment would, of course, recognize the
equal rights of women
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley told the suf.
frage school in Washington the other
day that no pure food reform will be
efficient and successful until the house.
wives of the nation have a vote in re.
gard to the question.
Thomas Edison: Woman should GER
tainly have the vote. 1t is only right,
and it is %expedient, too.
Norman Hapgood: The wisdom Of
having wor:en vote has passed beyond.
the stage of reasoning on general prin-
ciples to the stage of practical demon.
stration.
Julia Lathrop: Women suffrage, in
stead of being incompatible with child
welfare. leads towards it, and is, in
deed, the next great service to be rem
dered for the welfare of the home.
Louis d. Brandeis: am Convinced
that for the solution of our socias
problems we need all the ~people-wom-
en- as we'll as men.
orof. Sophonisba Breckenridge, Of
the University of Chicago: A woman
has not the power she needs as a house
keeper unless the officials of the city
are as much responsible to her as the
domestic servants she selects.
Charles Edward Russell: believe
In votes for women just as I believe in
votes for men, and for the same rea-
ons
Maud Ballington Booth: All the evils
that affect the home are largely de.
pendent upon politics. Women should
have the power to deal With these. :
Rev. William c. Cannett Rochester,
N. Y: Womanhood and motherhood
will yet be arguments for voting. as
manhood and fatherhood are today;
and the scorn will be Tor those whose
refinement" shirks TIE duty.
Lexow's daughter pleads for the
vote: IT women are permitted to
teach boys civics and politics they
surely are capable of voting. Voteless
women today are an arraignment OF
democracy.

UNFINISHED HOUSES.

The Diepolder home which appears
IN this section together with the Re
gelin and Kunze homes is long ways
from being completed and should be
given notice as one of the houses built
during 1915 rather than 1914. At the
time our photographer took the picture
herewith reproduced there had been
nothing done for some time on it owing
to the cold weather. The photo gives
fair idea of what the house will be
when finished but at this time it is i'm
possible to state what the complete re-
suit will be either as to value or appear

Black Hole of Calcutta.

The innate corruption and depravity
Of human nature were perhaps never
more clearly brought out than in the
historic Black Hole of Calcutta. That
atrocity stands unrivaled as an In
stance OF the utmost suffering human
fly can endure, passed through by a
large number. yet leaving few sur
vivors to tell the tale. Many more
have been slain or executed at one
time, death being expected; butt
probably only safe keeping Of the pris-
oners was intended, and only. fear OF
breaking q despot's sleep prevented
their earlier release. Yet this torture,
"unequaled in history or fiction,
whose record cannot be read unmoved
after the lapse Of a hundred and fifty
years." was produced merely by crowd
ing men together in an Ill ventilated
room. No fires, racks, nor scourges
were needed; all that was done or re-
Quired to be done was to take from
each the amount Of air and space to
which he was accustomed, crush him
into close proximity with his fellows,
and the thing was accomplished

you can all understand, and the faster
It Is played the more fun 1t Is. The
players are divided into sides with
leaders or captains and sit In line
on opposite sides Of a table. A toss
up Is made for the first start, and 1t Is
the place of the leader of the "in"
team to say what shall be done by the

ter is best) which they must endeavor
to keep concealed.
The players on the "out" side pass
the coin from one to another beneath
the table, leaving 1t hidden with one
of the members.
When the leader calls up Jenkins"
and raises his hands over his head,
the opponents follow his example with
their hands closed. He says Down

down on the table. The "out" team
follow his example and now the lead
er must say under which hand the
quarters is concealed. Crying "off,"

SET OFF THE PEACHY SKIN
Excellent Reason Why Black Velvet
Patches on the Skin Have Met
With Such Favor.

Black velvet patches are more fav-
ored than are the older-fashioned
patches in court-plaster, because they
are so much more becoming to their
wearer. Their soft denseness makes
a sharp contrast on a peachy skin
and in these days every fashionable
woman's cheek is peachy, either nat
urally or artificially. The black vel
vet patches are round, diamond or
crescent shaped and so tiny that only
with the utmost difficulty are they
handled while being put on. But once
attached to the cheek, the chin or the
brow, they stick tightly for they are
mucilage-backed. The true coquette
nearly always wears a black velvet
patch these days with her evening
gown and sometimes she places one Of
them upon her shoulders or her back,
depending on which Of these parts OF
her anatomy is the most beautiful.
