Give the Sugar Beet
Industry a Fair Trial

The following from the Alamosa
Journal is an Indication of how
they feel down there about the
idle sugar factory:
If the farmers of the San Luis
valley are wise they will insist on
the sugar factory running next sea-
son. If all, or the majority of our
farmers, will make an effort to
grow a few acres of beets success
fully there is no reason why they
cannot succeed both pro6tably and
satisfactorily. The sugar beet in
dustry has not been given fair
test in the valley, and we know
whereof we speak. The secret of
success in the culture of sugar
beets is intensive farming-not ex.
tensive One thousand farmers
growing six acres each will make
the sugar beet industry in the San
Luis valley success while 100
farmers attempting to grow 60
acres each will make failure of
the industry as sure as fate. The
sugar industry is the leading in
dustry of the state and the San
Luis valley can be one of the fore
most sugar oenters if our farmers
will only do their share to make it
80. And it behooves them to do
30, as they are the ones who reap
the greatest reward. 1t takes
some work, more horse sense and
cooperation; that is all. The
farmers of the northern portion of
the state had the same disoourag-
ing features to overcome in the
beginning, but look what they
have accomplished by sticking on
the job until they learned how to
turn the trick in most satisfac-
tory manner.

Monte Vista
Gives Flour
For Be|gians

While the American nation is
striving to assemble contributions
to relieve the situation of the starv-
ing millions in Belgium, there is
one small community which will
give a donation that will be dem
onstration of real generosity rival
ing the charity of any place on the
globe. From the splendid manner
in which the residents of this sec.
ton have come forward with their
subscriptions, it is estimated that
Monte Vista will be in position
to contribute between 100 and $50
barrels of -four to the Belgian fund
by December lst.
Aside from the donations of the
milling company and those of other
mercantile establishments and the
churches, the list of private sub
scriptions to the relief fund is grow
ing daily. The banner subscrip-
tion to date is the five barrels
given by Bowen Sunday school.
No public solicitation will be made,
but anyone may give a donation,
no matter how small, toward the
-four shipment.
1t is interesting to note that the
innocent victims of the European
war in Belgium are already receiv-
ing food from this country, and
their gratitude toward the United
States gives us greater pride than
would all the triumphs in arms
which may result in the great con-
flict.

JURY DECIDES
AGAINST LAND FIRM

The case of John M. Hughes
plaintiff, vs.. G. G. Kerr & Co, de.
PENDANTS, occupied the attention OF
the district court last Saturday and
was concluded on Monday. The
case involved the division of Ger.
tain alleged profits realized upon
a certain real estate deal had be-
tween Kerr & Co. and A. l.. Nc
Clure, Hughes alleging that large
profits had been realized by Kerr
& Co. and that under his contract
with them be was entitled to two
thirds of the profits. The contract
was admitted by Kerr & Co., but
they set up as defense that no
profits were made and also that
Hughes had violated the contract
and forfeited his right to any
profits under the contract.
The case bad been tried prior to
this trial before the late Judge
Holbrook, resulting in verdict in
favor of Kerr q Co. Hughes ap-
pealed to the supreme court, re-
sulting in reversal on account of
certain erroneous instructionsgiven
by the trial court and it was re-
manded for a new trial. At this
trial Hughes prevailed, the jury
awarding him verdict against
Kerr q Co. for 1928 Oh.
James P. Veerkamp was attor.
ney for Hughes and Jesse Ste
phenson for Kerr d Co. We un-
derstand defendants gave notice of
motion for new trial.

Bright Outlook
|. For Revival
| In Business

Now that elections are over for
the next two years and the presi-
dent has a congress with him that
will prevent any unfavorable legis-
htion affecting the tariff, the cur
rency, the trusts and labor unions,
there is every reason to anticipate
revival in business such as this
country has not enjoyed during
the last quarter of a century.
Special interests have opposed
tbe progressive policy of the Will
,on administration and have dis
outraged the setting to work of
idle labor. This was clearly evil
denced in the large manufacturing
states of the east where tariff was
the main issue and resulted in the
return of such standpatters to the
enate as Penrose and GalIinger
and Uncle Joe Cannon to the lower
house. Idle labor always votes for
q change. Bryan we'll says:
"Now that the election is over
the Protected manufacturers are
already resuming work. Some of
them suspended operations or cut
down their force before election,
and they did it under conditions
which left little doubt that they
hoped to arouse opposition to the
new tariff law. Seeing that the
new law is here to stay they will
now proceed to demonstrate the
fallacy of the arguments which
they used in opposing reduction.
A standpat congress cannot block
The wheels of progress during the
next two years and idle labor will
hnd ready employment. Woodrow
Wilson will lead the party of pros
perity and that party will control
the government for the next six
years.

CLAIRE JOHNSON
SENTENCED FOR BICAMY

Claire johnson, also known as
Cement" johnson, passed through
Monte Vista Tuesday night in GUS
tody of Sheriff Goad on his way to
Canon City, where be has begun a
term of twenty months for bigamy.
johnson was tried last week in the
district court, but the jury dis
agreed and new trial was had the
first of this week, resulting in a
verdict of guilty. 1t was shown
that johnson had been married to
girl in Iowa from whom he has
not been divorced and later he
married Miss Efie Terpenning of
Monte Vista. His last wife was
subpoenaed as witness and testi-
fed in behalf of the state. She
has lately been married to Albert
Lane, a Tramway conductor of
Denver. A copy of the marriage
license of johnson and the Iowa
woman was produced in court.
1t seems that johnson is a thor
oughly worthless character, owing
to his desire for booze. He was a
hard worker and understood ce-
ment work, but after landing a job
would get drunk and forfeit the
work. When having nothing else
to do he would try to make a living
by bootlegging, and this got him
into trouble in different towns of
the state. One time he had his
hip crushed by having horse fall
upon him when he was drunk, and
his wife was compelled to take in
boarders to provide for the wants
of the family. After recovering
from this injury he left his wife
and she and the baby came to
Monte Vista. About four months
ago he followed his wife to this
place and attempted a reconcilia-
ton, but was unsuccessful. He
was arrested for bigamy and has
been in the Del Norte Jail until
the present term of court.

For THE first time in the history of Colorado,
the agricultural output of the has passed the
SIoooooooo mark According to the figures of
the United States department of agriculture, sup.
plemented by reliable estimates on crops not yet

COLORADO citizens, by majority which will

record as favoring the construction of better roads
throughout the state. AS result of this action
taken at the last election construction will soon be
commenced on such system of highways as will
make Colorado the greatest pleasure-seeking state
in the world. Homeseekers and investors always
follow such improvements and this state therefore
faces what has been rightfuly termed the most
constructive work ever undertaken"

FOOTBALL GAMES

The Monte Vista high school
team last Friday defeated Trinidad
by score of 20 to IA, at the latter
place. Throughout the game the
Trinidad referees gave Monte the
worst of it in all cases, and the de-
cisions were 30 prejudioed that the
wonder is that the visiting team
was allowed to win at all. Monte
played superior football and the
fighting spirit displayed by each
one of the team against odds is to
be commended.
On Thanksgiving day Del Norte
was easily defeated at this place,
the score being 35 to 0. This game
closes the football season. Ar
rangements for the Las Animas-
Monte Vista game, which would
probably have been the best game
of the season, could not be COM
pleted. The home team has played
six games and lost none.

Stow Articles
Given Wide
Publication

The articles published in the
journal during the past two months
on our agricultural resources have
been copied and published in many
papers and journals throughout
the state. This extensive ciroula-
tion given this information regard
ing the wonderful productiveness
of the crops raised in the Monte
Vista agricultural district should
result in interesting many people
who are desirous of locating in a
growing, prosperous agricultural
section.
In addition to several of the
weekly papers in the San Luis val
ley printing these articles on agri-
culture, the Pueblo Chieftain, the
Great Divide and the Denver &
Rio Grande Red Book also have
given prominent space for their
publication. The Field and Farm,
the largest farm publication in the
west, will print the page article
which appeared in our last issue
in their special edition, which will
be published on December 3lst.

Ill UsI0M IN WEIGHT.
BIunders That Simply Prove Person's
Good JUDGMENT.

6Iunders That Simply Prove Persons
Good Judgment.
Take sofa pillow in one hand, bal
ance 1t carefully until you think you
have right sense Of its weight. Hold
q large glass In the other hand and
have some one pour water into it until
you think it weighs about as much as
the pillow. Then weigh the two and
see how far out of the way you are.
Or take cap in one hand and put in
the other as many coins as you think
may be needed to balance It. You will
and your judgment far from correct.
Take two stone Jars. Fill one with
hot water and the other with cold and
ask a friend to say which is the heav-
Ter of the two The bottle with hot
water will seem 25 per cent heavier.
Take three articles weighing the
same. Put one on the ground, one on
a table and one on a high shelf. Ask
a friend to lift them and determine
which Of the three is the heaviest. He
Will pick the one on the shelf as the
one which weighs the most every time.
The laws OF Illusion in weight are
quite exact, and it is marvellous to see
what large proportion Of people viii
make exactly the same mistake in ex-
actIy the same way. Thus the pillow
seems lighter than 1t Is because its APP
pearance suggests lightness. OF two
similar weights the one that is the lar
ger In size will always seem the light
er. That is why the weight Of the cap
will be underestimate in the expert
ment just described.
Any change from normal tempera-
ture, either hot or cold, will appear to
increase the temperature. A piece Of
ice the same weight as glass Of wa
ter will seem to weigh twice as much.
The extra exertion needed to sustain
the weight OF an object either above or
below our natural reach seems to make
It heavier, and for this reason the
weight on the shelf will seem to have
the advantage.
Does this show what poor judges we
are2 Not at all. It only proves our
good judgment. It is like the sad case
OF the college student in class on op-
tics who could see through the illu-
sions, so that matters which appeared
crooked to the rest Of the class, al
though they were really straight, ap-
peared straight to him. Instead of
ccmplimenting him on his discernment,
the professor promptly expelled the
student from the class on the ground
that he was drunk. And he was!-
