Seek Injunction

r. l.. Christy, county treasurer, was
in town last Saturday to get accurate
information that the plant OF the
Holly Sugar Company was being dis
mantled, preparatory to removal, and
he announces that this county will
ask for an injunction to compel the
company to pay some 10000 back
taxes, which the county claims to be
due and unpaid.
Dispositions were taken from a
number OF citizens that the factory
was being demolished and no doubt
the injunction will be granted until a
satisfactory settlement can be made
with the company.
The machinery needed to remove
the plant has not yet arrived in town
and many men are here to assist in
the work when same arrives.-Holly

SUGAR CITY FACTORY
Has Six Thousand Acres Contracted
Assuring Long Campaign

The contracted acreage OF sugar
beets for the factory here is now
rapidly approaching the 5000 mark,
says the Sugar City Gazette. AT
the conservative estimate OF an aver
age production of IL tons per acre,
it means long and prosperous CAM
paign. The dependability of the SUI
gar crop in this irrigated section is
appealing more strongly than ever
to the average farmer. He has his
product sold at fair price before
the seed is put in the ground. His
profits then depend upon his skill
and energy in making three-pound
beeis grow where one-pound beets
grew before. And then there is the
indirect profit that he has learned
10 consider, for he has his share in
the general prosperity that the pay
ing out OF full million dollars will
create-making a better market for
any other product that he has to sell.
There are other good crops but he
knows that he can bank on beets,
and when the sugar money comes in
in, it boosts his land, his horses, hay,
beef and pork.

DISTRICT W. C. 7. U.
Press Correspondent Gives Interest
ing Report of Last Weeks Con-
vention In Pueblo

The Thirteenth District of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union, which
comprises four counties Otero,
Crowley and Kiowa-met at the Bethel
M. E. church in East Pueblo on
March 25 and 26. Notwithstanding
the very unpleasant weather the church
was well filled at each meeting, the
citizens as well as our own members
coming out in goodly numbers.
We received hearty welcomes from
the city by one of its commissioners,
j. Knox Burton, who said in part the
city stood ready to do all it possibly
could to aid in enforcing the laws of
city and state.
The welcome extended to us by the
schools was given by Superintendent
Frank D. Stutz. He in his remarks
paid US high tribute; inasmuch, that
we had builded well in this work for a
dry nation, by having scientific temper
ance taught in the schools. He said
to teach and instil in the minds of the
children these great truths they would
never depart from them, when they
were men and women. He accounted
for the great temperance wave that had
swept the country in the past two or
three years in that this branch of our
work had had been taught for the past
thirty years in the schools of our coun-
try.
The welcome from the clubs of the
city was given by Mrs. Nv. H. Baker,
who said they realized in us power
for good that no other club could ques-
ton, that we were the Mother of all
clubs" being the first women to organ
ize for the betterment of mankind,
taking for our motto For God and
Home and Native Land"
The four unions of Pueblo enter
tained US delightfully."-, opening their
beautiful homes to US and serving lunch
in the church, noon and evening,
which gave us a pleasant, social time
and the opportunity for the various
committees to get together and do
good work.
Some of the subjects that were ably
presented and discussed were: 1.-THE
value of our official papers. Every
citizen personally responsible for effec-
tive prohibition. "How to interest
the young people in our work." "How
the children could be used for the local
work" 1.-The relation the local Unions
bear to Nationwide Prohibition"
The following resolutions were adopt
ed: 1--WE, the members of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union of the
Thirteenth District of the State of
Colorado, now assembled. give thanks
to our Heavenly Father for the
way in which He has led us during the
past; for the victory we have gained,
and we herewith pledge our untiring
efforts until our country is free from
the curse OF intoxication. Realizing
that this is crucial year in our be-
loved state of Colorado, we hereby
pledge ourselves to use every effort,
our talents, time, money and prayers,
that the amendment we have labored
and fought for may be enforced and
become a lasting part of our State
Constitution.
