NAY GET
FACTORY

What this section has long want
ed, but ceased to hope for, appears
to be here--a market for sugar beets.
Last night W.. H. Fairbrother,
representing the bankers who own the
Monte Vista. sugar beet factory, ar
rived from Denver to meet with the
Durango Exchange Directors and
made proposition to pay So ton
flat rate at the dumps for sugar
beets grown in this section, lrovid-
ing an acreage of 5000 can be Sc
cured. If the mill run on this amount
shows that the San Juan basin is a
place where sugar beets can be rails
ed profitably to the grower and
factory owner, the Monte Visa fac
tory will be dismantled and moved to
Duranog next year.
Why the Move Is Contemplated.
The factory has not been a success
in Monta Vista. The season is too
short for the beets to mature, and
the farmers have not grown crop
OF sufficient acreage to supply the
plant.
1t appears this section has about
everything in soil and climate that
has made beet growing success in
the Brush and Greeley sections. In
addition the Navajo reservation will
furnish cheap labor. Nsa
Efforts Made to Secure the Acreage
Mr.. Fairbrother is not asking one
cent Of money to promote the scheme
all he wants is guarantee of
acreage. To determine whether the
Aztec and Pennington sections will
promise their quota, mass meetings
will be held there early in the week.
Messrs. Herr, Jackson, Jarvis, Nor
ris and other prominent business men
will make the trip with Mr.. Fair
brother and use their influence to
interest the farmers in "signing up"
Meanwhile live wires of those sections
are doing everything possible to make
the trip a successful one.
On their return to Durango, Mr.
Fairbrother will interview the farm
ers here. 1t is realized it is late
in the season to start such move
ment, but those behind it hope the
work may be accomplished.
TRIPS to the Pine river valley and
the Ignacio, Tiffany and Allison
vicinities will be made later.

LONDON, March There were
three Americans in that marvellous
Christmas truce in my part of the
trenches; Eugene Jacobs, of Pawtuck-
ct, r. l.; Victor Chapman, Harvard
man, from New York, and myself.
We belonged to the foreign legion
which had been made up in Paris of
men of all nationalities and we had
been in the trenches for twenty con-
secutive days before Christmas dawn
ed. For twenty days we had faced
that strip of land, forty feet wide, be-
tween our trench and that of the
Germans, that terrible no mans land,
dotted with dead bodies, criss-crossed
by tangled masses of barbed wire.
That little strip Of land was as wide
and as deep and as full of death as
the Atlantic ocean; as uncrossable as
the spaces between the stars; as ter
rible as human hate. And the sun
shine Of the bright Christmas MORN
ing fell on it as brightly as if it
were lovers lane on the aisle in some
grand cathedral.

gan in other trenches, but in our hole

who believes that Mahomet and not
Christ was the prophet of God. The
sunshine of the morning seemed to
get into Nadeem's blood. 1t was only
an enthusiastic boy, always childish
ly happy, and when we noticed, at
the regular morning shooting hour,
that the German trenches were silent
Nadeem began to make a joke OF
it.
He drew a target on board, fast
ened it to pole and stuck it above
the trench shouting to the Germans:
'See how well you can shoot"
Within a minute the target had
been bulls-eyed. Nadem pulled it
down, pasted little bits of white pa
per where shots had struck and held
it up again, so that the Germans
could see their score. In doing so
Nadeem's head appeared above the
trench, and we heard him talking
across the No Mans land Thought
lessly raised my head to. Other
men did the same. We saw hundreds
of German heads appearing. Shouts
filled the air. What miracle had hap
pened? Men laughed and cheered.
There was Christmas light in our eyes
and I know there were Christmas
tears in mine. There were smiles,
smiles, smiles, where in days before
there had been only rifle barrels,

WAR NEWS FEATURES

PARIS, Mar. 16 (By mail to New
York Paris is the only city in the
world to date enjoying regularly
organized aerial night police service.
Since the recent Zeppelin threats by
the Germans France has taken steps
to guard herself against aerial
marauders and especially those which
might come prowling over Paris at
night. While the average Parisian
is enjoying a good nights rest, free
from all worries of possible German
bombs, French aviators are constant
ly flying over the city.
The night aeroplane force is divid-
ed up into squads and each squad
flies for about four hours steady.
The air is thoroughly patrolled at
various heights up to about 5000 feet
precluding the possibility of Zeppe-
Inns sneaking up without their pres
ence being known.

except from time to time when for
a moment an electric flash is turned
on to permit of the observation of
their instruments. Temperatures
taken recently by the night aviators
showed that the average is about IL
degrees above zero (centigrade).
AS each squad returns to earth
after four hours of service its place

tinued until the approach of day

Polk County Option Election May "a.

Crookston. - Following a rousing
meeting by the county option forces
here, the petition asking for an cleo
ton has been fled with County Audi
tor Welte. The election will be called
for Monday, May "a.
While 1927 signers were necessary
the petition contained approximately
1900 names-more than twice the
number necessary--and the optionists
say they could have secured many
more. The speakers voiced the utmost
confidence that Polk county would go
dry.
That the vote will probably be the
largest ever polled in Polk county is
predicted by both sides. The option
forces will have every voter canvassed
before election day, the work on both
sides. according to plans now being
made, to be the most thorough ever
attempted in an election in Polk
county.
While the optionists say they Val
win In a walk, the anti-optionists are
not willing to concede defeat.
