ROCKY FORD, COLORADO, FRIDAY OCTOBER g. 1916
PRIZE WINNING STOCK
thing in Sight at New Mexico
State Fair

Clark Kitchen, the proud owner
of our famous Guernsey dairy
herd, and Wiley Robertson, the
Poland China hog man, returned
Monday from Albuquerque, N.
NJ :, and brot the pleasing news
that they "made n cleanup" of
every premium for which they had
entered at the New Mexico State
Fair.
These honors are more highly
priced by the recipients than those
of the Colorado State Fair, as
well they may be when it is known
that the prizes offered at Albu-
querque had induced many COM
petitors to enter and it was graft
flying to carry off the blue ribbons
from such company.

Women of Colorado,
You have the vote.
Help Get 1t for Women Thruout
The Nation by Voting Against
Woodrow Wilson
and the
Democratic Candidate for Congress
Their Party Opposes
National Woman Suffrage

"Henceforth." said the Field Secretary.
Miss Elsie Hill, with merciless calm in
describing the bill board campaign" the
politicians responsible for the delay OF
justice to women must bear some of the
cost and discomfort of our prolonged
campaign. Until now, women have borne
the whole expense of the waiting recon-
mended to US by President Wilson. II the
national Democratic candidates do not
enioy the complication of their campaign
this year caused by the Democratic de-
feat OF the Nationa Suffrage Amendment
they have only themselves to thank. We
hope that every additional outlay Of money
or energy by them will rouse in each
candidate the determination to submit tc
the states the National Suffrage Amend
ment at the December session of Con
gress."

A. Latson. of Rocky Ford. and the next
county treasurer of Otero county without
the peradyenture of doubt. was a La
Junta visitor yesterday, and during the
day made speciality of the business of
getting acquainted with the people OF La
Junta. The oftener the people of this
community. and the people of Otero county
as well, meet Mr.. Latson, the better they
will like him. That has been our expert
enoe, and we are convinced that it will be
the experience Of many others. When you
vote for Mr.. Latson for county treasurer

Of it forever and a day.-La Junta Tri-

One Reason For High Prices

1t beats all now the prices of irrigated
land has kept up during the financial de-
preston Of the lastfew years. The answer
is not such Chinese puzzle while the
present scale Of high prices is on. but we
have not been enjoying such emoluments
all these years. 1t must revert to the old
indisputable argument that there is only
one crop OF land and that seven million
men are called upon to feed fifteen times
as many hungry people.-Field and Farm.

WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN
Is Cordially Endorsed by the RepubIi-
can National Committee

New York, N. Y, Get. 2.-Cordial
endorsement by WlliamR. Wilcox, chair
man of the Republican national committe e
was gwen to day to the Hughes campaign
train which the Republican Women's
Campaign committee and the Women S
Committee of the Hughes Alliance are to
send across the continent in October
The best thing about it is that it really
has for its first object getting votes for
Mr.. Hughes said MIR. Wilcox. Women
throughout the country are interested in
showing that women's political activity
is by no means wholly expressed in the
cause of suffrage. This train is not a
suffrage train. 1t is practical express
sion of women's political CO. operation
with men for the election OF Mr. Hughes,
in national crisis.
Besides getting votes for Mr. Hughes,
! think the campaign train will serve a
large purpose as it goes through the
twenty-nine states in its Itinerary, earring
a group of national women workers and
speakers. 1t will unite woman in national
solidarity behind national iss ue.
The train will be financed and manag- :
ed by women and the party of speakers
on the train will be entirely women"
VIII Campaign in Earnest
That the National Woman's party has
taken up its anti-party- Empower cam
paign in dead earnest is evident by the
appearance in Pueblo Of a series OF bill
boards done in purple, white and gold,
bearing the following legend:

Better hurry, Mister New Yearl We've
been waiting, waiting long
For the romping of your rapture and
the laughter of your song,
And the gate is standing open where
the living dreams are sweet
While the happy hands of welcome
scatter roses for your feet.
Hurry, Mister New Year,
There's welcome warm for you,
Where the hearts of hope are wait
ing
And the dreams are coming true! !!
Hurry, Mister New Year! We are
weary of the king
That has ruled so long with sorrow
he's forgotten how to sing
We are weary of his scepter and the
burdens that he knew,
And we're waiting in the highways
with welcoming for you'll
Hurry, Mister New Year!
Lo. the morning purple CLEANS,
And the heart of hope is waiting
For the browning of its dreams!

Little New Year.
BY KATHERINE FAITH.

The old. old Year goes out at the door,
But the little New Year comes in;
And to take the place of the squan-
dered days
There's n Year just about to begin
He's dear little chap, is the small
New Year,
And deep in his eyes of blue
Is the promise of all the joy that life
Is holding in store for you.
Healths shining there-if you'll cross
your heart
To live with wise discretion
And then follows Sleep, and then fol-
lows Play.
And Love joins the dim procession.
And trailing behind are the ghosts of
the years
That wait on the Grown-Up Shore.
And haunt all the paths of After-a-
While
Tint lead to the Futures door.
The New Year stands on his tippy-toes
And puts in your two brown hands
The reins of his steeds, I CAN and
l WILL
To drive through the deep life SANDS.
And hard he stares with his wistlul
eyes,
Wond'ring if you'll get through
And hoping that all of the dreams he's
dreamed
Will have the good taste to come
true.

Specific Terms Not Named.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The absence
of any specific terms for peace in the
German note or in the German chan
cellor's speech was in a measure a
disappointment to those who expected
some concrete expression of basis
on which negotiations might begin.
Advices from Berlin to the German
embassy indicate, however, that Ger
many's peace terms, in general meas
ure, propose the restoration of the
status quo before the war, with the
exception of the establishment of in
dependent kingdoms OF Poland and
Llthuania.
They are understood to propose the
complete restoration of the occupied
portions of Belgium and France in re-
turn for Germany's captured colonies
and to dispose of the Balkan situation,
because of it's extremely complicated
nature, in the peace conference.
IN the note the four allied (centraD
powers propose to enter forthwith on
peace negotiations. The propositions
which they bring for such negotiations
are, according to their firm belief. ap-
propriate for the establishment of
lasting peace.
"The governments at Vienna, Con
stantinople and Sofia transmitted
identical notes and also communicat-
ed with the holy see and all neutral
powers"
The German peace offer was almost
the sole topic of discussion at the din
ner to the Cabinet given by President
and Mrs. Wilson.
