READY TO ASSIST IN
REBUILDING CHURCH

To the Public; The recent earth.
quake shocks here SO completely
wrecked the Colored M. E. church as
to make rebuilding necessary. Their
building was neat little brick erect
ed last year at cost of $4,000. They
carried ample insurance, but cannot
recover one cent for damage by earth
quake. The congregation is poor, but
have not lost courage. They have
planned a campaign for raising a
building fund at once. A committee
of white citizens will cooperate with
them in the effort. They are: E. F.
Howe. president; J. l.. Travers, secre-
tary, and A. w. Swanson, treasurer
All checks are to be sent to Mayor

Self Supporting Navy.
(By Bond p. Geddes)

Washington, Jaiy "A "self-sup-
porting navy making It's own bat

torpedoes, rroiee..ies, amor plate
powder and all war supplies, is the
ideal Of Secretary Of the Navy Dan
iels.
Today he outlined to me his hopes
of naval Utopia lie believes il is
not only possible, but probable, that
with proper financial assistance and
appfotel from Congress-. realization
of Iii plans may be reached before
the end of the present admhisja-
ton.
"Of course we never expect TO man
ufacture all Of our own materials fer
the navy; we Will probably always
buy a certain amount Of supplies
needed, but it is my hope that the
navy will be edaYpned to make in pan
all of the supplies it uses Secretary
Daniels stated
"By manufacturing ctr own SUD
plies we are not only largely indie
pendent of private manufacturers,
avoid being held up in prices, but
also destroy the incentive Of priva p
manufacturing interests to brine pres
sure upon Congress- for larqe appro-
priations in the interest Of the private
profit"
It is Secretary Daniels idea thai
If the navy is equipped to make its
own supplies, private maDufae.ue'
will not, when Congress comes to au-
propriating money for them, feel thas
as a matter Of course the contract
viii be let to them. Il would then
be uncertain whether the money would
be spent in government navy yards or
private manufacturing plants. The
"hounding" Of Congress for large APP
propriations would then be largely
avoided.
Secretary Daniels pointed out that
the effects Of such an administrative
plan were already seen.
Before the government began to
manufacture its own powder we paid
as high as 50 cents a pound to pri-
vate manufacturers" he said. "The
price was brought down to 56 cents.
This was largely because the navy
found out just exactly what it cost
To make powder. We then knew what
was proper price to pay, with prop
er profit to the manufacturer.

COURT IMPOSES
STRANGE SENTENCE

Possibly the strangest sentenc
ever imposed in any court in the con-
ty was pronounced yesterday afte
noon when Justice Of the Peace Ma.
field sentenced Jacob Duman to sery
2 hours in the county Jail in addition
to a fine of $25.
1t happened this way: Duman ~ :
subpoenaed to serve on jury
Justices court. Talesman after tales
man was called and examined, bul
Duman's name failed to be selected.
Wherefore Duman grew weary of
waiting and said he was going to his
office and that when he was wanted
they could come after him.
Later he was wanted, but was mo-
where to be found, so the court bai-
lift was sent after him and found
him at his office on Main street.
When he appeared before the court
Justice of the Peace Mayfield admon-
ished him and said that he believed .
fine ought to be added.
"How much do you want" de-
manded Duman, and jerksd . hand
full of change from his pocket and
ratified it on the Justices desk.
The court repeated his former state
ment with the added warning for Du-
man to subside. ....s.
But Duman failed to be impressed
by the majesty Of the law. Jingled his
money again and demanded to know
how much the court wanted.
So the court imposed fine of 2
hours in the county Jail in addition
to the fine of $25.
Duman was received at the Jail at
4:45 yesterday afternoon and was still
there at late hour this morning.
81 feel that my family needs the
$25 worse than the county does and
I'm going to serve the time" he said.
81 would do the same thing i | aad
it to do over again."
Hes going to stay there until he
either pays his fine or has served
his time," Justice of the Peace May
field said this morning. That's posi-
tive" he added.
Duman, if he remains in the bas-
tile S25 worth, will have to serve 12h
days, or 302 hours, including the 2
hours additional to his fine. The
Imprisonment is based on a valuation
of 50 a day.

1t was decided as the first step
toward economy that all city en-
ployees, who had heretofore re-
ceived free light and water SER
vice, be placed on the pay list.
The marshal will also be required
to turn the fees collected by him
from the city pond back into the
treasury. instead Of pocketing
same as has been the case.
It will be necessary to "lop off"
many thousands of dollars of ex-
pense next year, and just how to
do so is a problem which will
keep the city dads" awake for

WILL GROW MORE HEErs

Many of the farmers of this
section are largely increasing
their beet acreage for this season
and indications are that the larg-
est acreage ever planted here
will be grown this year.
With the increase in the price
Of beets, caused by the war, the
farmer can readily see that this
crop can be grown at a fair profit,
the returns on same also being
prompt and certain. There is no
trouble in marketing his crop, as
is the case in some other pro-
ducts, and labor may always be
easily obtained.
With the acreage now signed,
there is ever likelihood that the
local factory will have long
campaign next year.

that, it is said, will eclipse all
previous efforts. The National
Poultry show will be the largest
in the history Of this department
of the show and special attention
will be given to the agricultural
exhibits. The Baby Health con-
test, which was such a feature of
the show a year ago, is to be
made even more interesting than
before. The Denver Press club
is getting up q Brand Iron"
dinner and ball. The National
Cowboy Rangers association is

the state convention of the Colo

there will be no lack of live stock

ing to entertain the largest Stock
