TOO MUCH CANE IS TROUBLE
WITH LOCAL SUGAR MILL
Continued from PaEs ID


trust and | imagine the little fellows
wouldn't live long unless they did
accept those prices. Those prices are
all right for the home market but
the minute they get outside into COM
petitive territory the profits are
slashed and only the fact that in
creased production results in de-
creased proportiionate expense per-
mits the mill to make sugar for 9th er
than its own market
Bigger production, naturally,
means longer campaign and bigger
payrolls for the laborers and fatter
checks for the grower. 1t helps ev-
erybody. But here in Grarnd juno
tion | have been surprised to find
that less than 40 per cent of the
sugar used in western Colorado is
made here in Grand Junction. You
can talk about your tariff all you
want to and all the other things in
this intricate and complex industry
but the fact stands out like light
in a fog that If the Grand Junction
factory could sell the people of west
ern Colorado all the sugar they used
the campaign here would be twice as
long and the company would have a
chance to recoup from its. previous
losses and probably increase wages
to its laborers and the scale of prices
to its growers.
And the funny thing ID that su-
gar Is cheaper and. ordinarily. fully
as good or better for home use than
the cane product"
The government examiner was not
ready to state what the results OF the
Investigation was going to, be but ex-
pressed the opinion that there was
much to be said for both sides in the
controversy over tariff reduction.

To admire the erumbly castles and

In the land of youth and freedom be-

Where the air is full OF sunlight and
the flag is full OF stars.
Oh, london is a mans town, there's
power in the air;
Aud Paris is a woman's town. with

And it's sweet to dream of Venice,
and it's great to study Rome,
But when ii comes to living there is
NO place like home.

flashing fountains filled;
But, oh, to take your hand, my dear,
and ramble for a day
In n friendly Western woodland
where Nature has her way.
! know that Europe's wonderful, yet
something seems to lack;
The past is too much with her. and
the people look back.
But the glory OF the present is to
make the future free
We love our land for what she is and
what she Is to be.
Oh, it's home again, and home again

to plough the rolling sea.
To the blessed land OF Room Enough

Where the air is fun of sunlight and

st. Matthews Guild to Give MAY
Ounce and Strawberry Sumner

The ladies of st. Matthew'S Guild
OF the Episcopal church have planned
to give, on the evening of May 20. a
May dance and strawberry supper
which will be one of the most enjoy
able social functions the Guild has
ever given. The ladies were so en-
couraged by the very successful dance
given at Margery hall by their guild
during the winter that they feel sure
of this second similar affair being
equally successful. The Auditorium
has been chosen for the dance on ac-
count OF the GOODNESS of the hall and
its size which will better accommo-
date the crowd. The strawberry
supper, which will consist of good
d-fashioned home made strawberry
shorteake and cream and stra wber-
ries served in various other ways,
will be served attractively on the
stage on small tables during the in
termiasion. Doucet's orchestra has
been secured with the promise of the
best music. including that suitable
for all of the latest dances, which
will be introduced on the program.
Tickets will be sold with discrimina-
tion and will be on sale shortly.

that moment he had sat content, hud-
died in his ignorance; but he left the

day-dreams, it appeared, divine day
dreams, written and printed and
bound, and to be bought for money
and enjoyed at pleasure. Down he sat
that day, painfully learned to read

fnGuctive and Deductife.

Deductlve reasoning is from the
DRY to facts, while inductive reasoning
is from facts to theory. Deduction is
sometimes mere dreaming, oftentimes
very foolish dreaming Gas in the case
Of medieval scholasticism) while in
duction is the sane reaching out from
particular facts to general laws Gas
in the case Of modern science). Most
of the things that have cursed man
kind have come as the result Of de-
ductive reasoning; while pretty nearly
all that has helped men has been the
gift OF the inductiye process.
