SUGAR BEETS DOING WELL.

The Durango Exchange secretary
returned last evening from a trip to
San Juan county, N. NJ, where he
inspected a number of the sugar beet
plots being grown there for the Ex-
change. On the George Allen ranch
he found a fine stand of beets, which
were planted the latter part of May.
The Bero. Coleman and Simms
ranches showed excellent beets. If
beets will make a success here this
year, with the late start they got
in the early spring, the sugar factory
people can safely bank on factory
for the Basin. And it is our predic-
tion that if one plant is built here,
it will not be three years more until
more will be necessary to take care
of the great amount of beets grown.
The soil, the plentiful water supply
and the labor for thinning are all
here, and the average season will
mature beets to perfection, in the
opinion of many farmers who grow
them annually for stock feed.

October 3, A, 5, and 6
Are Dates of Big Fair

In accordance with our predictions
we are now able to state for the ben
eft of the San Juan people that the
Colorado-New Mexico fair associa-
tion has found that the response of
the people is such that we must have
fair by all means this fall. While
the committee has not yet been able
to raise the necessary amount it is
believed that when those, who have
not yet donated, help out there will be
sufficient amount to put on one of
the best if not the very best fair ever
held by the association.
Acting in accordance with this idea
the directors have decided to arrange
for a fair and have selected as the
dates October 3rd., 4th., 5th., and 9Th.
This time in the year has proved to
be the best, in many particulars, in
the past, and for this reason the
directors have again decided to hold
the fair the first days of October.
Now, that we are able to have q
fair this fall let every man, woman
and child do everything in his or her
power to assist the directors and the
other officers in staging the best fair
ever held in this southwest country.
The people of the San Juan expect
that of the association The visitors
who come from various parts of the
state expect something out of the
ordinary. Let US not disappoint them.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Despite
the effort to control the epidemic of
infantile paralysis it has increased
nearly 100 per cent over night. The
scourge has extended its tentacles
to all parts of the city. One hundred
and ninety new cases have been re
ported, making u total of 1900.
The city health department with
the assistance of the police force,
civic organizations is directing its en-
tire attention toward combating the
epidemic within the city limits. The
federal health experts are concen-
trating their efforts upon prevent
ing the spread of the epidemic in
othr parts of the United States.
DR.. Thomas Darlington, former
president of the city health board
says:
"Many physicians who are not ex-
perts in their diagnosis have re
ported as infantile paralysis certain
of infantile summer diseases which
are in no way allied to this"
Thus far the plague has caused the
death of 270 New York children. Re
gardless of the rapid spread there
are now sufficient number of hos
pital nurses and physicians to ac-
comodate all cases.
Citizens are being fined for infrac-
tons of the sanitary law.
How To Guard Against InfantiIe
Paralysis
While not case of infantle pa
ralysis has been reported in Colo
RADIO as yet, it is well for mothers to
know how to guard their children
against the disease. A prominent
physician says:
''lf child has a fever that may
be Indigestion or summer bowel
trouble or any of the less harmless
contagious or infectious diseases is
olate him and call u physician at
once. 1t isn't always necessary to
do this when mother knows how to
treat child for minor illness, but in
paralysis it is the safe thing todo.
In few days u physician can tell
whether it is infantile paralysis. The
paralysis shows up in two or three
days after the fever develops. Pre-
vious to that the disease seems like
any one of several children's diseases.
That is why it is difficult to control.
The disease looks and acts like
typhoid fever in the start, in fact,
there is no way of telling the differ
ence until the paralysis develops. 1t
is not confined to children although it
is much more common in children.
So far as known rest and massage
are the best things to combat the
disease"
