the least bit OF use TO stop to argue.
When Busy Bee loses her temper
she won't stop to listen to reason.
Tho only sensible thing to DO Is 10

Now Farmer Browns Boy didn't

Then Farmer Browns Boy tied

Once more he ventured out where

was surrounded by q cloud OF the
angriest bees ever seen. How they

stolen. With the first daylight
they had been abroad looking for

100 and maintenance IN making estimates
Of cost. in prescribing the materials oi
construction with regard to tho character
and volume of traffic in solving difficult
engineering problems, in building speci-
men roads as object lessons. in doing
everything, in fact. except the actual
manual, labor in the completion OF pro-
jeeted systems. All this is a uemen-
dously important mission for any organ
ization to undertake and it goes without
saying that. lacking the CO. operation OF
the people and the help of the news
papers, 1t cannot succeed. Then there
must be coordination in the efforts Of
all existing organizations working for
road improvement, wise and uniform
legislation by the several States, skilled
supervision in the construction OF the
roads, agreement among the States and
smaller political units as to routes and
service. SO that working together and
building together there will emerge from
the local. county and state lines har-
monious system as wide as the Nation
itself and all to the immediate advantage
of the whole people. This is the object
of the American Highway association.
which will furnish articles for The Enter
prise.
OF cost and materials. of construction
and maintenance. of country life and
country roads, Of marketing facilities and
practical economies that can be secured
only by the building of good roads. there
is wealth of information and suggestion
that will be given in these articles so
that the people may understand fully
the great purpose of the American
Highway association.

Otero Irrigation Bond Case.

In the district court last week Judge
Rizer listened to the arguments in a
suit to mandamus B. G. Wilson, as
treasurer of Otero county, and by virtue
of his office of treasurer of the Otero
Irrigation District as well, to compel
him topay So, 400 unpaid interest on the
bonds of that corporation. The plain
tiff, William E, Sweet, of Denver, is
the holder of $50, 90 worth of the $780,
900 issue of Otero Irrigation bonds.
There are five different issues of bonds
on the land in the Otero Irrigation Dis
trict, and the bonds of the plaintiff
company are in the third series. The
plaintiff contends that the board of
county commissioners made the proper
levy in 1913 for the payment of the in
terest on the bonds, amounting to $47,-
600, but it is alleged that the county
treasurer's collections were not suf-
ficient to pay all of the interest, so he
did not pay any of it. The plaintiff
contends that the interest on the various
issues of bonds should have been paid
pro rata according to the amount of
money on hand. The county treasurer
is in doubt about this, and in conse-
quence has refused to pay the interest
on any of the various issues of bonds.
At the present time there is about $780,
900 on hand in the fund to pay the in
terest on the bonds.
Judge Rizer took the case under ad-
visement and has not as yet rendered
his decision.-La Junta Tribune.

Three QUARTER
MILLION DOLLARS
Paid to Sugar Beet Growers
of Arkansas Valley
ONE OF LARGEST
PAYDAYS IN HISTORY
People Of Rocky Ford and Vicinity
Have Good Reason to Celebrate
Thanksgiving

One of the largest paydays in
the sugar beet history of the Ar
kansas Valley was that of Monday
when checks totalling over three
quarters of million dollars were
received by the growers for sugar
beets delivered during the month
of October.
OF this stupendous amount over
one. half-or given in figures $780,
0OO-was paid by the American
Beet Sugar Co. for deliveries to
the Rocky Ford factory.
AS goodly number of growers
for the Swink factory of the Holly
Sugar Co. are within few miles
of this city, and that company paid
out nearly $500, 900, it is estimated
that over a half million dollars was
paid to the farmers of this imme-
diate vicinity on Nov. 10.
The distribution of this goodly
sum surely gives ample reason for
a Thanksgiving celebration by our
people before the regularly ap-
pointed time, for beet growers and
workers are able to square up
their debts with this pay and still
have money to spend.
Placing half million dollars in
circulation in Rocky Ford at one
time should have an exhiliarative
effect on business conditions in all
lines.

MARKET REPORT
Shows Advance in Beef Cattle, Hogs
Going Up, Sheep Are Steady
lines.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. Is
Beef cattle sold 10 to l5 higher after
Wednesday last week, but stockers and
feeders quit at the low point, with the
yards pretty well cleared. Receipts
today are 26, 600 head, big drop from
recent Mondays, killing grades steady
to strong, yearlings and twos 10 to 25
higher, and good feeders also stronger.
Buyers apparently realize that the
time is short when they can get the
good range cattle and they are taking
them today eagerly. Colorado year
lings and twos sold at $40 to S7.35,
some 100 lb. feeders at $40, cows
$3.50 to Sc, heifers $40. Country
purchases of stockers and feeders last
week were 1888 head, as compared
with %, 700 same week year ago,
showing an immense untitled demand
yet existing.
Hogs sold higher after Tuesday last
week, but big run at Chicago today
caused decline of 10 to Is cents. Re-
ceipts here are 5000 head, top &c. 10,
bulk of sales $40 to S6.65. Both
packers and order buyers paid the top
price today, which means that hogs of
any weight above $50 lbs, are eligible
to the top, if they have the quality and
finish. Packers have exhibited larger
capacity for supplies recently. and in
creasing receipts were taken care of at
advancing prices last week. However,
six dollar market is still the objec-
tive of the buying side.
Sheep and lambs sold unevenly last
week, but averaged steady, top lambs
sS.85 on Friday. Today receipts are
II, 900 head, market 10 lower, due to
weaker prices at Chicago and Omaha
Top lambs brought $3.50 today, fat
ewes, are worth S5.25 to S5.75, year
lings S6.5 so to s7.25. wethers s5.75 to
s6.25. Feeding stock is in liberal sup
ply, but will be scarce after this week.

The work of the Association is educat-

COUNTY TAX 5.3 MILLS
Slight Reduction from Last Years Levy
For Which We Have Good Reason
TO Feel Thankful

An added reason for returning
thanks by the property owners OF
Otero county was made public last
Friday, when the county commits
sioners gave out the glad news
that they had fixed the county levy
for taves at 5.3 mills.
This is reduction of one-third
of n mill from last years tax levy,
aud is an apDreciable change from
the reported increases in state,
