Local Sugar Season Was Good.

The 1914 sugar campaign in Grand
Junction closed last week and the run
was one of the most satisfactory in
the history of the Western Sugar q
Land company. The acreage was. of
course, much smaller than ever be-
fore, but plans for the coming year
include much Increased tonnage
and a considerable raise in the price
of beets to the grower.
About $4,000 tons of beets we're
sliced during the run from the $500
acres planted The production
amounted to 12.7OO,OOO pounds of high
grade sugar, most of which will be
sold in western Colorado.
About 175 men were employed
during the run, exclusive of the heads
of departments. beet shovelers and
field workers. The pay roll to the
employees amounted to about $4,000
and probably $4,000 more was paid
for supplies. Figures compiled today
show. that the payments to growers
amount to approximately $276.5OO.
The sugar content was well up to
standard and was much better than
last year.
Supt. Roy Boyer, who succeeded
George II. Bushby, made an excellent
record throughout the season.
Manager Holmes, who will continue
in charge of the plant. is looking for

WITH THE THINKERS

Tom Thompson.-Did you ever sit
down and figure how much it cost you
to maintain three or four of your IA
vorite grudges through a large part
of your life? If you have not actu-
ally lost good money by it, you have
lost much valuable peace of mind
which is just as important. Do not
even harbor a grudge and try to come
through the new year without one. 1t
is too expensive. The state of Colo
RADIO is filled with the wrecks of peo-
pie who have taken on the wrong
kind of a hunch.
w. H. Doubleday.-Do you realize
that the farmer is about the only man
in this entire world who will benefit
by the war in Europe? That beef has
gone up? That pork has gone up?
That wheat has gone up? That corn
has gone up? That everything he
grows has gone up? The more he
the year, the richer he will be. There
are waiting nations for all he can pro-
duce, whether field product or live
stock. Your German, French, and
Russian farmer is carrying a bayonet
now. The American farmer must pick
up his hoe and feed the world.
DR.. Cyrus Northrup.-I am an old
man now. and have seen many things
in the world. have seen this great
western country come in my lifetime
to be populous -and rich. The forest
has fallen before the pioneer. the
field has blossomed and the cities
have risen to greatness. If there is
anything that an old man of eighty
years of age could say to a people
among whom he has spent the happi-
est days of his life. it is this: We live
in the most blessed country in the
world The things we have accom-
plished are only the beginning. AS
the years go on and always we in
crease our strength, our wealth and
our power. we must not depart from
the simple teachings of our youth.
For the moral foundations are the
same and interchangeable.
we have become very extravagant.
The fault is not confined to any geo
graphical section, nor to any particu-
lar occupation or profession. East,
and west, north and south; the banker
and the blacksmith; the high-salaried
and the day laborer. have all breathed
the air of prosperity SO long as to be-
come more careless of the future than
is good for u.s. The disarrangement
of the normal financial conditions in
our own land by reason OF the war has
suddenly brought people to a realiza-
ton of the fact that springs which
have been unfailing for years can, un-
der circumstances, diminish or even
go dry. 1t should do us good to take
notice and get back somewhat to our
former and more prudent manner of
life. On the other hand, the natural
tendency is always for the pendulum
which has swung too far in one direc-
tion to go to the other extreme in its
return. To shut off all purchases en-
tirely on the part of thousands of
people who really can well afford to
spend, is a grave mistake.

SUP RENE COURT BUSY IN IA
1863 Cases Decided. Average Length
Of The Opinions Was
2,203 Words.

Des Moines, Dec. S.-The Iowa Su.
preme court decided 463 cases in 1914,
each justice writing G6 opinions dur
ing the year, according to Docket"
which has just been published. The
average length of the opinions of the
Iowa court is 2,2O3 words.
The statement shows the amount
of business done by every state Su
preme court in the United States. II
includes the Appellate courts of four
states in addition to the Supreme
courts of these states.
OF So state courts, only Is decided
more cases in 1914 than the record
shows. There vera 81 courts which
did less business than the Iowa court
Texas had the largest number of cas-
es-1,S14, while the Nevada court had
the smallest-69.
There we're 10000 cases submitted
to the Supreme courts of the various
states last year. The average number
of cases to each Judge was So. There
vera SO courts which did less business
per Judge than the Iowa Supreme
court and there were 16 which did
more
The Iowa Supreme court had more
cases to determine in 1914 than the
highest court of New York or Illinois
regardless of the fact that those states
have greater population. The New
York court decided 224 cases and the
Illinois court 432.

Committee Meeting in Washington
Hears Evidence in Contests Filed
From kentucky and Oregon and
Settles Them AmicabIy.

Washington, Dec. S.-St. Louis was
the next Democratic national conven-
ton, which will convene in 1915.
Pleas for cooperation of all fac.
lions and for the burying of all fac
tional differences featured the ses-
sion of the Democratic national COM
mittee.
Thomas ]. Pence Of North Carolina,
who was elected secretary of the COM
mittee, took occasion to deny en-
phatically the report that he and Ma
tional Chairman William F. MCCombs
had quarreled and that he (Pence)
was heading a movement to force Nc
Combs out. The outstretched olive
branch quickly was accepted by Nc
Combs, who, in a brief speech, also
declared for party harmony.
1T is a subject for congratulation,"
said McCombs, that the committee
meets under such suspicious circum-
stances. 1t is at the very opening Of
a Democratic congress and this COM
mittee Is in position to cooperate
most enthusiastically for the future
success OF the party.
There is not a cloud on the Demo
cratic horizon. There will be none If
we will continue to cooperate, and l
want to assure the committee that |
will continue in unremitting and undi-
minished effort to continue the sue
cess we have had"
The committee heard the evidence
in the contests that had been filed
from Kentucky and Oregon while the
president was at the capitol. 1t was
accepted that in Kentucky Urey Wood
son would be seated until the next
convention, when w. B. Haldeman, the
contestant who was elected at the re
, cent state convention, will be given
! the post.
Roger Sullivan, for many years com
mitteeman from Illinois, sat with the
committee holding a proxy from
Hawaii.
