military poll tax OF one dollar.
But Colorado appeals to you at
this critical time to waive that ex-
emption and voluntarily contribute
the equivalent Of the poll tax as 4
matter OF loyal service to your coun-
try.
One dollar from you and from
each OF the 10000 women voters
In Colorado means war fund OF

erything TO the soldiers OF Colorado.

brief visit with his parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. c. w. Bomgardner, before re-
spending to the call of duty as an
able seaman In Uncle Sans Navy.

He has been assigned to the coast
patrol, with headquarters at New
port, X. l.. and may be summoned

his orders read that he must report
at Newport not later than June goth.
Henry reports that there are 3O,-
600 recruits OF the army in active
training at Syracuse, n. Y, and that
city and its environs present very
military aspect. with marching SOL
diers in every part OF the city at all
times of the day. When Mr. Bom-
gardner passed through Chicago
there were 1900 recruits at the
Great Lakes Training Station. and It
was expected that this number would
be. increased to $4,000 before the
end OF the week. All over the east
the recruits are shown every cour-
tesy. having free entrance to all OF
the picture shows. and ride gratis on
the street cars. While coming west
he observed that every bridge be-
tween New York and Kansas City
was guarded, but failed to observe
any guards on duty west of Kansas
City. Mr.. Bomgardner expects to be
in La Junta for a week or ten days,
unless he receives a call to report
Tor active duty.

Former La Juntaites in Cyclone

Mrs. Blanche Snyder received u
letter one day this week from Mrs.
William Fiscus. of Worthington,
Ind. n which she tells Of the de-
struction wrought by a cyclone which
visited that section Saturday. May
26th.
Worthington was right in the
heart OF the cyclone. and Mr.. Fiscus
Is engaged in farming near that
place. All of the buildings on his
farm, with the exception OF the
house, were totally demolished.
Thirteen windows in the house were
blown out, and the furnishings of
the interior were SO badly damaged
by rain and mud that they were
nearly ruined. Nearly every room
in the house had to be cleaned out
with shovel All of the crops on
the farm were totally destroyed. in
cluding the trees in peach orchard
that were loaded with fruit.
No lives were lost in the vicinity
OF Worthington. although several
people received fatal injuries In the
track Of the cyclone. which extend
ed into the adjoining state OF Mich
igan. The horses in Mr.. Fiscus'
barn we're buried in the wreckage
when 1t collapsed, but with the as
sistance Of neighbors they were dug
out and none OF them were serious
ly injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fiscus will have the
sympathy Of many La Junta friends
in the misfortune that has befallen
them. with the assurance that they
will be given a cordial welcome
when they decide to return to sunny
Colorado where cyclones are un-
known. even to the oldest inhabi-
tant. Eventually they will return.
as nearly every one does. so why not
now?

Another Big Boost for La Junta

The attention OF many thousands
of homeseekers has just been called
to the Importance of the dairy indus
try Of the Arkansas Valley OF Colo
RADIO by the Santa Fe railroad through
its official paper. "The Earth" A
three PAGE illustrated article tells OF
the factor the milk COW has been in
building up the valley; the rapid de-
velopment OF the dairy industry since
the establishment by the Helvetia
company OF the condensary at La
mar. and the prospects for future de-
velopment as a result OF the estab-
lishment Of the new condensary at
La Junta.
c. l.. Seagraves, industrial COM
missioner OF the Santa Fe. is quoted
as expressing the opinion that the
Colorado dairy industry will show
a greater development in 1917 than
during any other year in the states
history. Mr.. Seagraves has been de-
voting n part OF the energies OF his
office to work with that end In view.
II was through the efforts OF his de-
partment. largely. that the Libby,
Mcneil e. Libby Company OF Chicago
became Interested in the Arkansas
Valley. and finally decided to build
a condensary at La Junta.
Interest In the LARRY industry has
been aroused throughout the valley"
Mr.. seagraves said. "and In the last
six months there has been nm In
crease In milk cows in practically ev-
cry community. Farmers have be-
come convinced that cattle are neces-
sary TO save their soil from deterIor-
alton. The milk COW not only does
that. but also Is source OF revenue
week after week. keeping the COM
munlty alive by the circulation OF
new money
