YEARLY REPORT OF SEC.-
TREAS. OF DORCAS SOCIETY

The past year has been a busy one
for the Dorcas society.
Two dances and a Community care
party and musicale were given tc
raise funds for charity work.
The two dances Melted $4,000 and
the Community party Melted $22
which, considering all things, was
very good.
Ten dollars was sent for the Bel
gian Relief Fund, $1.00 to the Chi
cago Woman's Shelter and $500 was
given a typhoid patient from the
hospital to aid him in reaching his
home.
Cash paid in during the past year
$266.8O and paid out $266.98.
New bed spreads were furnished
and window curtains were made and
furnished for the Dorcas room at St.
Joseph's hospital. A new brass name
plate was placed on the door. A
silver tray and a combination set in
Sheffield plate was placed in the
room. New sheets and pillow slips
e supplied. In all about $50 was
expended in this way. The members
of the society each giving a bath
towel or other articles for the room.
New Dorcas badges were procured
Groceries yer bought for the
needy and clothing furnished. In
some cases new clothing purchased
throughout the year.
At Xmas time the Merchants filled
rummage boxes-in most cases the
goods being of good, new stock, these
the Dorcas ladies sorted and appor-
toned into bundles, besides this buy
ing about $4,000 worth of underwear
and hosiery. The needy school chill
dren have been looked after and at
Xmas time candy and nuts were sent
with the clothing for those too poor
to buy. A committee went out with
a committee from the Elks club and
investigated the needy, so that none
might be missed.
Bedding was bought for two
families.
The Dorcas met and sewed for
several babies, in each case furnish
ing the material.
In some cases the Dorcas even went
into the homes and cleaned them
up, making the inmates more COM
Portable.
Committees are appointed each
meeting to visit the hospital and to
look after those who are in want.
Flowers have been sent to the
sick members and to others who
needed cheering.
If people who are strongly in SYM
pathy with the Sunshine society
would investigate thoroughly, they
would find the Dorcas but another
name for a local Sunshine order, who
are scattering more cheer than they
are credited with.

Advance In Contract

The Great Western Sugar Co. will,
in its 1917 contracts, raise the price
of beets so cents per ton. The 1916
contract was based on sugar content
and averaged about $5.75. Aside
from this bonus of SO cents per ton

tent. This company bought about
2.250,000 tons of beets the present
season and figuring next years crop
on the same basis the farmers of
Colorado, growing beets for the Great
Western, will receive an added rev.
enue of $1,125,OO0.
Another feature of the Great West
ern's 1917 contract will be a clause
permitting farmers to deliver their
beets as rapidly as they desire after
October 8.

The Old Cow Did 1t

c. r.. Williams of the Colorado
Rubber Co. of Denver, made this
while here on a business
visit Monday:
"The livest town in all the
Arkansas Valley is Lamar. 1t is
up and coming, and the sole rea-
son for it's prosperity is the dairy
COW. Everyone can pay cash
there because the farmers have
their money coming in monthly,
and good amounts of it at that.
1t is a prosperous place and the
COW is to be credited with it all"
The New Era has been trying to
find someone who travels the state
over and who is observing, who will
say that there is no money in dairy
cows. So far the man who will make
such a statement is yet to be found.
Every commercial traveller, every man
who, in any degree. comes in contact
with the retail trade over the country
is profuse in his praise of the old COW.

THE NEWSPAPER & THE TOWN
(EnWlar Trihnnel


Very few people realize what it
means to a town to possess news
paper. Thru exchanges it becomes
known to other towns. If it is able
to support a newspaper it is rated as
good town. If the advertisement
section is we'll filled the town is quot
ed as being progressive one. 1t is
gratifying or ought to be, for the
citizens of town to know that their
home town is being represented in
the state by their local paper. There
are also benefits derived from the
local paper as home factor. By the
chronicling of the events and tran
springs of the community, the people
come in closer contact with each 9TH
er; it also serves as means to con-
vey information and helps the bust
ness man to draw his patrons atten-
tion to what he has to offer. The
price for this for year is small.
Many person spends that much for
one evenings pleasure and thinks
nothing of it.
