WELSH COAL KING

Any American who in the course
of the next year wishes to sell war
munitions to the allies should get in
communication with David Alfred
Thomas, for he is the man Lloyd
George has sent over here to attend
to that business.
In England they call David Al
fred Thomas the Welsh Coal King"
Within the past eight years he has
become the active head of collieries
in South Wales at which $4,000 men
find employment and whose output
exceeds more than one-quarter the
production of the entire field.
Partly because he is Welsh, but
chiefly because of his liking for mat
tiers that have mass of detail about
them, David Lloyd-George at once be-
thought himself of I'D. A." when he
began to organize the cabinet with
which he is surrounding himself as
minister of munitions, so he chose

PERSONAL APPEARANCE

Bret Harte wrote in one of his stor-
les that you couldn't judge anything
by the appearance of his characters.
The biggest scamp had Raphael face,
the bravest man in camp was the small
est, the surest shot had but three fin
gers and the best dressed was the worst
gambler in the State.
The same rule often works out in
real life. Nobody wrote more dry
philosophical books than England S
prize philosopher, Francis Bacon. But
one day while i'll and without consult
ing any works of reference he dictated
a volume of jokes which is still the best
collection to be found in London.

pension is not really something thrown
in as a gratuity, but deferred pay. Tho

SUGAR rAorogx IS MOVING

Definite assurance that a sugar
factory will be erected in Sheri-
dan this year in Readiness for the
crop of 1915 was received here
this afternoon ina telegram from
R. McGinnis, auditor Of the Holly
Sugar company.
The plant 81 IN company now
located at Holly Golo., is to be
dismantled and The machinery
shipped here for the new factory.
Work on that will commence at
once. It is likely that a new
company, the Sheridan Sugar
company, viii be organized. In
cluding considerable oeDl9apital.,,
Arrangements have Siready
been made for rd3sing approxi-
mately LOCO acres Of beets this
.-ysax, and call9 fars beet raiSers
are being sent to the principal
beet-growing centers of Colorado,
Nebraska and Montana. There
are several thousand acres of
beet lands contiguous TO Sheridan.
The plant in Holly has not been
operated for the last year, be-
cause the same company owns a
larger factory at Swink, which
has been able to care for all beets
raised in that locality. 1t is a
600-ton plant, but provisions will
be made for increasing its capac-
ity. 1t will be modernized in
every way.
The above story in the Denver
News was the first information
that the people of this section
had received regarding the mov-
ing of the factory, though this
paper mad tipped off the fact last
week that such might be expect
ed shortly.
The factory was built in 1905
at a cost of approximately $780,
600 and campaigns were con-
Quoted for six straight years.
Then the plant was idle for one
season and made but one more
run, being closed since 1912, the
beet production in these parts
falling off rapidly as the growers
became dissatisfied with the re-
turns from that crop.
Work was started Thursday
morning by force of men under
Tony Tovatt to tear down the
immense brick buildings, and it
is estimated that it will be sew
eral months before this work is
finished. All the buildings ex-
cept the large warehouses will
be removed and several hundred
men will be employed on the task.
The people here generally ex-
press but little regret over the
removal. Since the factory has
ceased to operate. the business
menlhave labored and hoped to
have same run, but farmers would
not grow the beets. Now that
the question is settled for once
and all times they can get down
to a solid basis and do some
real work. The removal of the
factory will make no difference
to the man who wishes to grow
beets, as the companies pay for
deliveries at the dumps.
Goodbye, old sugar factory
Holly got along without you and
couldn't get along with you.
Hail and farewell

ROAD MEETING

A rousing road meeting was
held At the club rooms Tuesday
evening. the principal speaker
being County Commissioner j. S.
McClung of Granada, who spoke
ut some length upon the work
which the county had done and
had planned to do upon the roads
OF this section.
The roads leading to the south
side were mostly discussed, the
business men generally favoring
that same be placed and kept in
. first-class condition. A COM
mittee was appointed to view
these roads and report back to
the club just what must be done
before the roads will be up to
standard, then the club will un-
dertake the task of placing them
in shape with the assistance of
the commissioners.
Several more road drags will
be brought to this town and
placed with men who will use
them when needed, and it now
appears that our citizens are be-
coming aware of the fact that
it takes good roads to make q
town and that this town is going
to have some good roads.
