Dear Editer, take my pen in hand
10 let you know that | am not In
fayer of selling the light and water
plant for severel reasons. This is a
subjeck that has got to be thought
we'll into. 1t is too serous to be
jumped at.
In the first place, if we sell the
plant, we amt going to have 1t. III
YOU have ct your cake it is gone and
so in this case. Now hayin the plant
has give us a lot or advertisin and
made us look progressive and UP to
date. They is manny City in this
land of ourn which would give a
good deel to own there light and
water plants apd they cant get
holt of them. And the reasons they
want to get aholt OF them is this,
i. Any concern which will pay a
profit to a company is desirable
investment, and why not have the
City own it? ,. When a City owns
its own plants such as these, they
aint forever having trouble with
light and water companies about the
kind of service and the prices. They
aint havin to fit with a company
about them afeedin the people tyfoid
fever germs, and chargin too much
for electricity. Companys gos into
business to make money, and havin
cleer feeld they work on the plan
of maxim as much money as they
can A elecktrick light and water
plant is good thing for city if
| it was losn money on it, because it
gives the city CONTROL over such i'm
portant things as light and water.
Ever City had ought to own its
light and water plant and it's gas
plant and its street cars. g. All such
things as these is important in
town. we cant do without them, and
they know it; and what is the re
suit? They act independent, and
what are you goin to do? You think
you will pass laws, and then you
find out that the alderman from the
first ward is elected by the gas com
pany and the alderman from the sec
ond ward is elected by the water
company, and the alderman from the
third ward is elected by the electric
light company, and the alderman
from the fourth ward is elected by
the street car company and they are
all sayin to each other, If you will
work agin this ordnence will work
agin thatn.
On the subjeck of the ernins of
the plant bein used in eXtendin the
lines and so forth, say amen, SO let
ii be, etc. If it takes all the ernins
at the present time for eytendins.
how in Sam Hill would we get a
company to make them sayed extern
dins when they have got to pay there
company some dividends, which we
aint got to do?
AS to the subjeck of price, we have
got to consider that the price here
is alters agoin to be niger than in

CHICAGO. April 25.-Co-operatlon
and Advertising make possible the
uniform distribution OF California cit
rus fruits at a cost of less than five
per cent, said II. j. Eustace. profess
sor Of horticulture at Michigan Agri-
cultural college, addressing the sec
ond national conference on market
ing and farm credits meeting with
the Western Economic society to-
day.
Mr.. Eustaee described the methods
OF the California Fruit Growers ex-
change from the time the fruit was
picked by the $500 growers, until II
was sold to the retailers on the mar
kets throughout the country. This
exchange, he said, was probably the
largest and most successful co-opera
/ tive organization of fruit growers In
the world. over sixty per cent OF
all the citrus fruits grown in Cali
Z lOTllld was plChtut shipPVN "hN SS'e
by the exchange.
The yearly volume of business
amounted TO twenty millions made
up entirely of returns for fruit ant
receipts for supplies necessary e
grow and market the fruit.
The low marketing cost of five pc
cent. was one reason why the mem
Der of the California Fruit Growers
exchange could have his fruit PLACED
on a market 5000 miles from his OF
chard and make profit often great
er than that realized by local frui
grower from growing apples.

COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING MAKE

quantities of fruit under brands and
grades that we're uniform and the
names of which were protected by
copyright. Skillful advertising had
resulted in increasing the demand
for oranges forty per cent and had
made 1t possible to reduce the price
to the consumer by encouraging
quick sales.
Well managed cooperation among
so many fruit growers had made pos
sible a uniform distribution of their
crops over the United States and
Canada. The markets in some places
were not oversupplied and other
places undersupplied. There is prob
ably no fruit so thoroughly and uni.
/ formly distributed over the country
as California grown oranges and lem
ons. 1t is almost unheard of to find
a state in the most remote regions
where California orange cannot be
purchased at nominal price at any
time during nine or ten months in
the year.
In addition to cooperating in the
packing, shipping and selling citrus
fruits it had been possible and had
been found desirable for the mem
beers Of the exchange to cooperate
in the purchasing of supplies. This
was done through department AS
the supplies were purchased in ever!
large quantities so in turn low prices
could be quoted to exchange mem
bers. Many thousands of dollars
worth of box material. wrapping pa
per, nails, labels. fertilizers and othe
supplies were sold to members at
great deal less than would be pos
sible to unorganized individual grow
ers.

ARMY OFFICERS
RISK THEIR LIVES
TO DRAFT MAPS
WAR DEPARTMENT SUPPLIED
WITH INFORMATION ABOUT
MEXICO.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.--
American army officers. who have
been granted leaves of absence for
several months during the year, have
been in Mexico drawing maps of the
entire territory that the United
States army might traverse in case
Of hostilities between this country
and the southern republic. Several
of these officers have been granted
leave of absence because OF sick
ness and others have taken their reg
ular leave and utilized their time in
the government service.
Outside of the chief of staff of the
army probably nobody has been
aware of the activity of these Off
GERS, but during the last two or three
weeks their work has become entire
ly apparent here because of the fact
that profile maps of Mexican terri
tory that might be invaded by Ameri-
cans have been sent to western de-
partment officials.
1t is IMPOSSIBLE to overrate the
work these officers engaged in map
drawing have done. They have been
in territory fought over by federal
and constitutional forces and under
went many risks and privations.
If the United States army goes
into Mexico as a result of the pres
ent crisis it will have working plan
that even the Mexicans themselves
have not, thanks to the devotion Of
these officers who risked their lives
for their country.

= mighty. change In sentiment as to
the Negroes interest In Municipal and
state government
The Qearfeld settlers want roads,
bridges. school houses anu range
law to protect their crops from the
stock OF the large cattle owners. The
Dearfield settlers have issues that are
very plain and natural, and when the
candidates of Weld county are con-
fronted with the issues concerning
the Negroes Of Dearheld. there will
have to be the same kind OF an un-
derstanding before time to vote.
The masses Of the laboring. Negro
people are confronted with united
white labor organization which bars
them from earning q living because
they were born colored. These peo-
pie will have to have an understand
ing with the legislation candidates and
their county candidates before they
cast their votes. The railroad train
porters are confronted with full crew
laws, ETC., that threaten their jobs.
Negro bartenders and porters have a
grievance against the .bartenders' un-
ion which is affiliated with the strik-
ers' union, which has barred most all
of the Negro bartenders and porters
from employment in first class places.
The grievance Is of a very serious ma
ture because the state is on the verge
of being voted dry" and the Negro
loves retaliation, regardless of cost.
The candidates have an adjustment in
this grievance that must be under
stood before this class vote.
Negroes who are educating their
children have a grievance because
they don't feel that we. as class of
taxpayers. yet our just proportion of
employment in return; and there are
many other minor grievances that
should be discussed by our people and
the candidates questioned on these
subjects, regardless OF his or your
party. For there is nothing in party
any more but a name; the real issue
is within the privilege of the candi-
date, and 1t is your duty to work your
political salvation out of the candidate
as he or she is your representative af-
ter election. For that reason you
should weigh the candidate for every
Office and know something from your
own people of his or her fitness and
principles to fill the ONCE that is with
in your power to give. Is not that rea-
sonable and fair?
