NON PARTISAN LEAGUE EXPOS
ED
Leading Member of the Executive
Committee Shows How the Farm
ers and Others Are Being
Fooled

Denver, Nov. 12.-State Senator
Agnes Riddle has handed the Nonpar-
tisan League a life sized wallop, and
as the result Of the blow already de-
livered and other blows to be deliver
ed, the North Dakota gentlemen who
came to Colorado for a little easy
money, may have 10 retire from the
field whipped by a lone woman.
Some time ago Mrs. Riddle was in
duced to become a member on the as
surance the organization had but one
purpose and that was TO organize the
farmers for mutual protection and aid
in the marketing of products. Being
a farmer herself the scheme, on the
face of it, looked good. Then she
was asked to become Chairman Of the
executive committee for Colorado -
and accepted the place. As Senator
Riddles reputation is excellent, or
ganizers found her name was enabl-
ing them to make a killing.
About a month ago Mrs. Riddle
heard things that did not sound good
to her. She was informed the organ
ization had been charged with being
unpatriotic and that got under her
skin for If there is any one thing
which she prides herself it is her
loyalty TO this government. Then she
ascertained that the money being col
lected from members in Colorado was
all being sent to the headquarters at
St. Paul, and outside the jurisdiction
of Colorado court. With ]. NJ. Col
lins and ]. A. Ferguson, the other
two members of the executive commit
tee, she called at the Denver office
of the league and demanded of R. w.
Morsar, "state aanager," but sent
here from North Dakota as the per
sonal representative" of C. A. Town
ley, national president, to see the
books to have an accounting for the
cash collected. This right was de-
MED her.
In. consequence the three called a
meeting of all organizers at the AL
bany hotel and there they got to COM
pairing notes. They found that prac-
tically all the charges made against
the organization were true, but the
one that seemed to hit them the hard

Pork Prospects

A birdseye view of the pork situa-
tion may be had from figures an
nounced by the U. S. Food Admins
tration. At the beginning of this
year, swine in the United States num-
bered about 67,45O,OOO. In Europe the
decrease in hogs since the war began
has exceeded 32,OOO,O0O So the Euro
pean shrinkage equals about half the
total number of hogs in the United
States.
In the face of this situation, the
American people consumed moro than
three pounds more pork per capita
during the last fiscal year than in the
average of the three years before the
war. Farmers who are doubtful
about pork prospects should remem-
ber that the nations feed supply is
above normal and the meat supply is
below the demands now made on it.
Lower hog-feed prices are already in
dicated in the reduced price of new
crop corn.
In a recent statement, Herbert
Hoover. U. S. Food Administrator
SAYS, eff farmers are to find mar
kets for feed, it must be to a great
extent through an increase in ami
mails. The monetary Interpretation
of this situation must be that we will
have a low range of prices for feeding
stuffs, and in view of the European
situation and our own shortage in
hogs We will have a high average
price for pork products.
Therefore, it must be to the vital
advantage of every farmer to raise
hogs"

Good Broom Corn Crops

c. Ausmus, ono of the settlers south
Of Granada, was in Lamar on business
this week. He is just harvesting his
first crop in Colorado and thinks
Prowers county dry lands are : big
investment Although this was an
extra dry year he raised pl'nty of
feed for his stock and in addition has
harvested ten tons of broom corn,
which is now bringing above three
hundred dollars per ton. He says all
the neighborhood in which he lives has
had fine season and the people ere
well pleased with shoir years work.
He and several of those cear kim have
pooled their broom corn and have one
hundred tons of choice broom corn to
sell to the best bidder. This WAS all
raised on land that was recently home
stcaded or else could have beca
bought for about S5 per acre. A whole
section could have been bought = few
months ago for less than the crcp on
40 acres will bring.

Just a Suggestion

While the government officials are
busy asking us to observe meatless
days, wheatless days, and even eatless
days, we would suggest that about
one hundred thousand of the govern
ment officials occasionally observe
paperless days. On these days they
would print no circular letters what
ever to clutter up the wastepaper bas-
kets of the country. This would ma
terially lessen the demand for paper
and relieve the great and growing
stringency in the paper supply of the
country.

NEW FARM IMPROVEMENTS
American Beet Sugar Co. Beginning
Work on Big Building Program
in Prowers County

Owing to the good results obtained
from the hotel building erected on the
West Farm near Lamar, the A. b. S.
Co. decided to build similar ones on
the Marvel Farm near Granada and
the Center Farm at Carlton. Accor-
dinghy they let the contract last week
to C. A. Dahlgren of La Junta to con-
struet the two hotels and about fifty
bungalows on the various farm be-
sides. The total contract calls for an
expenditure of about $4,000 The
three big farms of the company in
Prowers county have in a few years
under scientific farming management
become one of the best paying assets
of the company. They have abandon
ed the renting feature and employ
their own help and farm under the
management of capable superintend-
ents. They are rapidly making the
farms model homes for all the help
needed to successfully run them, and
are adding all possible modern con-
veniences and attractions TO make
those residing on the farms comfort
able and contented.

this as it means that the other $3.50

COUNTY STATISTICS
immigration Board VIII Hake Esti-
mate of State Crops by Counties


In practically every state in the
Union this year a special effort is
being made to compile detailed statis-
tics Of agricultural output by coun-
ties, in order to show definitely what
each local community has accomplish
ed in the way of increased food pro-
duction. Those in charge of the ma
tional campaign for crater food pro
duction regard such data as essential
to the success of their campaign for
next year, if the war emergency
makes such work necessary again for
1918.
The Colorado State Board of I'm
migration has undertaken to collect
the data by counties in Colorado this
year, and has asked the assistance Of
county assessors, newspaper publish
ers, county agricultural agents, sec
retaries Of commercial bodies and
other public spirited people in every
county. Blanks have been distributed
to all sections of the state, and addi-
tional blanks may be obtained from
the Office of the Board in the state
capitol, upon request.
Several very carefully compiled re-
ports already have been received, and
numerous letters have come in, stat
ing that the data is being collected
and will be available not later than the
last week in November There are
comparatively few counties from
which the Board has not received as
surances that the required informa-
ton will be supplied
1t is essential TO the success Of the
plan that reports be received from
every county in the state. 1t is well
understood that in many cases the
figures will be only estimates, for
there are few counties that have un-
dertaSen detailed crop surveys. How
ever, through the cooperation of tho
best informed people in each county,
it will be possible in every case TO
obtain approximately correct reports.
Few states have made a better
showing than Colorado in the food in
crease campaign. There has been a
substantial increase in acreage culti-
waited in nearly every county, and the
value Of crops produced in the state
this year will be fully fifty per cent
greater than for 1916. This is dus
partly 10 increased production and
partly 10 higher prices.
All reports should be in the hands
Of the State Board Of Immigration not
later than the last week in November,
in order that they may be checked and
compiled by the middle Of December.

H.OO-HOO CELEBRATE
 SILVER ANNIVERSARY

Chicago, Jan. 2O.-The members of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, the great social organization of the lumber and affiliated industries in this country, will celebrate tomorrow the completion of the first quarter century of the existence of the order.
 A railroad wreck is responsible for the existence of Hoo-HOo. It was conceived by six men who were de- trained at Gurdon, Ark, on January 21. 1892. While the half dozen trav- elers were seated in the hotel re- counting their experiences son the road" one of them, Boiling Arthur Johnson, of Chicago, proposed the Hoo-Hoo. II was at first intended as a society of limited members for fun only, but it grew so rapidly into pop ular favor that the original by laws were amended to make the present organization possible.
 The original living membership was limited to 9,999. The initiation fee is $9.99 and the original annual dues were 99 cents. The annual meet ing is held on the ninth day of the ninth month, convening at o'clock in the morning.
 The order has no lodge rooms ana no forced attendance at lodge meet ings. It's members are scattered over the world. Each member carries a book containing the names and busl- ness addresses of every member. The objects of the organization are " a purely social and fraternal nature.
 The black cat was selected as the emblem of the Hoo-Hoo because the black cat is considered bad luck, and one of the objects of the order is to fight superstition.
