Want Local Marble
For New Postoflce

Instead of Yule marble, Mesa
county granite may be- used in the
construction of the Grand Junction
postoffice.
Samples of the material will be for
warded to the supervising architect
in the treasury department, and the
Western Slope Manufacturers Asso-
citation will get behind the move
ment to push the local quarry pro-
duct.
Yunker & Callahan have plans on
foot for the development of their
granite deposits in No Thoroughfare
canon, and will be able to meet the
demand for the granite, IL they re-
ceive contract.
Heretofore local efforts were made
to have the Yule marble used. not
only because it is n Colorado product
but because it would be more slightly
than limestone or sandstone.
A committee was named last night
to investigate the possibilities of q
bacon factory here, and the associ-
alton hopes to be able to interest the
farmers in hog raising to that extent.
Plans were also made by the asso-
citation to effect a big attendance at
the meeting for DR.. d. w. Working
on Jan. 23, which was announced in
yesterdays Sentinel.

companies are enabled to add to the
price of the sugar sold in many sec
tions of the country. These items
combined would make very hand
some sum.
In addition have figured on a
comparatively short campaign-one
hundred days. A factory properly
located should make a hundred and
fifty day campaign thust materially
increasing the profits.
During the tariff debate a noun
tain of evidence has accumulated
showing the enormous earnings OF
the sugar companies.
Some Sample Dividends.
Mr.. Oxnard admitted before the
senate lobby committee that his con-
cern-the American Beet Sugar COM
rany-was capitalized for five times
the amount OF money actually invest
ed. and the company's annual re-
port for 1910, showed that it had
earned at least As per cent on Its
roal capital.
The Great Western Sugar company
is capitalized for thirty million, and
at least half of this is water" When
this concern was only five years old
it had accumulated surplus of nine
million dollars in addition to- paying
generous dividends.
The Michigan Sugar company is
capitalized for twelve million five
hundred thousand dollars. of which
seven millions is water" The COM
pany pays big dividends and has a
surplus Of three millions twenty-five
thousand dollars. or so per cent oi
the capital actually invested.
In the face of these figures, the
sugar barons will find 1t difficult to
convince the farmer that they are
unable to pay him fair price for his
beets. They will discover that the
tiller OF the soil is canny Missouri

PHYSICIANS OPPOSE LICENSE.
Strong Resolutions Adopted BY
Cecil Medical Society.

AT its Fall Meeting, held Thursday
October 22, the Cecil County Medical So
ciety unanimously passed the following
resolution:
Whereas. The licensing of the sale OF
alcoholic liquors will be again submitted
to the voters of Cecil county at the APP
preaching election on November 8. 1914
Therefore, be it Resolved, That this
Society, as guardian of the public health
and promoter of the public welfare and
prosperity. believing that the sale and
consumption of alcohol is inimica to the
best interests of both, and that prohibition
reduces the use and abuse Of alcohol to a
minimum, goes on record as favorable to
the present law in Cecil county, and sub
NIT as reasons therefore the following
specifications;
l. That the saloon is allied with every
other evil agency
2. That it is:detrimental to all business
interests, except the rum business.
8. That the licensed sale OF liquor does
not decrease the tax-rate.
4. That the whole national system is
unconstitutional.
S. That the plan proposed for Cecil
county is undemocratic.
6 That alcoholism is the one great
cause of fmbecility. idiocy and mental de-
generacy in children. Statistics, compiled
by Superintendeuts, who have charge of
those institutions which care for these in
nocent. helpless and pitable unfortunates,
show that IS to 80 per cent is caused by
alcoholism, in one or both parents.
Be it further resolved, That this minute
be written in the records of this Society
and copy thereof be- given to the Press
or any other agency which may desire to
make public use of it.
