B-,s Make Money Plentiful

In order that their employees may
have plenty of money TO buy their
Christmas presents this year. the Of
ficials OF the American Beet Sugar
Company have decided TO make Sat
urday a payday. instead OF waiting
| until the e5th as usual. Next Satur-
day. more than $4,000 will be paid
to employees of the local mill. and
most OF this money will be spent
right here in Rocky Ford within the
next week. Already scores OF factory
packages wrapped and laid aside a,
local stores, and when they get their
checks cashed they viii leave most
OF the money in cash registers be-
longing TO Rocky Ford merchants.
Work is being pushed rapidly at
the A. h. 5. factory in an effort
TO get all the bpets in before another
cold spell and before the roads are
broken up. All OF the field beets are
in. but quite a number OF growers
have their beets sliced and are still
hauling them 10 the factory. II Is
no, definitely known Just how much
longer the campaign will continue
but it Is thought that the factory will
run until the second week In Janu-
AIRY at least. Beets have been good
this year, and while the total acre
age vas not as large as some pre-
yious years the sugar content has
been well up to the general average
and in some instances way above the
average
The last payday to the growers
will come just before the first of the
year. II i estimated that between
sevcnty-five and eighty thousand
dollars will be paid out at this time.
Most OF this money will be paid to
growers in the Rocky Ford territory,
between Fowler and Las Animas.
Already the Arkansas Valley grow
crs have received nearly a million
and a quarter dollars from the Amer
lean Beet Sugar Company In Rocky
Ford. and the payday this week will
bring the total To more than a million
and half Growers in the Las An
imas territory we're paid more than
a million dollars by the American
Beet Sugar Company The Las An

Fred W Knapp. who was elected
state auditor of Kansas at the recent
election, arrived In La Junta last
Saturday for brief visit with his
father. j. W. Knapp. OF the Fair
mount country. Mr. Knapp was for
merly editor and proprietor OF the
Gazette, at Beloit. Kan, and visited
this city about three years ago while
on an automobile tour OF Colorado
with his family He wrote rather
caustic article on the condition OF
the main thoroughfares of La Junta,
which at that time had more
bumps" In them than a corduroy
road. and which was reproduced in
the Tribune at that time. Mr.. Knapp
says he is rather pleased TO observe
that the article had the desired eff
feet, as most OF the objectional fea-
lures which he criticised have since
then been eliminated.
Kansas. as well as Colorado hon
ored spapermaH by electing
one Of the tribe to the position Of
state auditor. Mr Knapp, simon
pure republican Of the purest ray
serene, being so houored In our ad-
joining sister state Of Kansas, and
Charles Leckenby, Of the Steamboat
Springs PILOT. having that dlstin-
guishcd honor thrus, upon him by the
democratic landslide In Colorado,
Although Woodrow Wilson had a
majority in the state OF Kansas OF
$4,000. Arthur Capper. editor OF the
Topeka State Capitol. was elected
governor OF that state by a majority
OF lss, coo. and this difference OF
nearly 100000 shows that the indie
pendent voter was very much In ev-
idencc in the sunflower state at the
recent election The returns also
showed that the high man on the
republican state ticket. under Gov
eruor Capper, was Fred W knapp
auditor-elect. In the western half Of
the state, whore Mr. Knapp vas best
known, his vote was heaviest. and In
Mitchell county. his home, Il was
almost unanimous in both primary
and general election Wherever the
people knew Fred Knapp, they piled
up big majoritics for him, and these
were based on the knowledge OF his
superior Publications and fitness to
administer the duties OF the state
auditor.
Mr., Knapp leaves today for his
home In Beloit, and will be installed
in the office on the first Monday
in January.

JOHNSON ARRIVES FOR
BOUT WITH BARRIEAU

Eddie Johnson of Pueblo. Colora-
Go, accompanied by his manager and
trainer, ]. Elmer George, Mrs. John
son and Mrs. George, as well as Mas
ter johnson, arrived in Ely on We'd
nesday last and the clever welter-
weight has commenced his hard grind
to prepare for the fastest battle ever
fought in his division
Frank Barrieau is due to arrive
on Tuesday night and the two boys
can be seen in action at various
places throughout the district up to
Saturday, February, 5th, the date on
which the big battle will take place.
Johnson appears to be in the best
possible shape and seems to need just
the final touches to put him in con-
dition to meet any man in the world
at his weight. For a few day she will
probably confne himself to the Bio
hall in Ely, where the spacious floor
will afford some opportunity for work
which he would otherwise do in the
open. Owing to the present condi-
tion of the roads, work ON the outside
is out of the question, but as soon
as conditions permit. it is Eddie's in
tention to devote considerable time
to a systematic course of training in
the open air.
Jack Dempsey, we'll known as the
Tight heavyweight" of Salt Lake. is
due to arrive In Ely tomorrow night
and will work out with Johnson. Ed
die requires a man that will take q
terrible handling in order to feel that
he has had anything like a workout
himself. In Dempsey he has Just that
man and the johnson training quar-
tiers will doubtless be the center of
great attraction.
Upon the arrival of BarYieau he
will be accompanied by competent
handlers and he is known to be one
of the most faithful men in the bust
ness while in training.
Interest In the match is hourly In
creasing, and 1t is safe to ay that the
local followers-6f fandom will be at
a white heat lSng before the men step
