gone to the front. However the local

burg the best possible in cage sport.

are doing their bit along with other
baseball, basketball and football

ATLANTIC CITY
Is BIG WINNER
Takes League Game From
Harrisburg Division Team
at Rutherford

Atlantic City Division team of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
League yesterday put a crimp in
the winning stride of the Harrisburg
Division nine. The game was played
at Rutherford, the seashore boys
winning by score of 4 to 1. Allan
tic City brought along many rooters.
Hitting Big Factor
Hits figured in all of the runs by
Atlantic City. They clouted the ball
at the right time. Miller's triple
after Thompson had singled saved
Harrisburg from whitewash. Errors
put men on bases for visitors, and
long hard clouts sent runners over
home plate. The score:

AN the banks of the Arkansas river,
" at the point where the old Santa
Fe trail turned southwark, and
constituting today an important grand
division point of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad, is the city OF
La Junta, the thriving metropolis OF
the Arkansas Valley in Colorado east
of Pueblo.
Situated as it is, in a rich agricul-
tural section, in land of eternal sun
shine, where the horizon haze lifts at
times to disclose the snowcapped
Rockies-with skies the bluest, fields
the fairest-little wonder that La
Junta has come to be the gem of east
ern colorado, the city of schools, OF
churches, and of homes.
Located originally in old Bent coun,,
ty-when Otero county was formed
La Junta became the county seat, and
later a handsome court house was
erected-the pride of Otero county.
With its busy life of today, La
Junta has little time to recall its past.
Yet, it was only yesterday that the
streets were cleared when the cowboys
rode in off the range, and amused
themselves by shooting up the town;

Now, as for centuries past, the river

IDEALS OF DEMOCRACY.

1t was de Tocqueville, in his Dem
ocracy in America" who said; 1T is
certain that democracy annoys one
part of the community, and that aris-
tocracy oppresses another part"
Democracy is annoying to the super
egotist who believes that the people
should be ever ready to allow their in
stitutions to be guided by select few.
Aristocracy is the real menace, be-
cause it oppresses.
Aristocracy has its theory, its sci
ence, its system of logic, its art, its
literature, its poetry, even its music.
Aristocracy has its philosophy and its
religion.
The philosophy of aristocracy has it
that the efforts of the masses should
be directed primarily to the comforts
of the few.
Only within recent generations have
those who believe in democracy or
ganized their own system of thought.
Thinkers like Marx, Lassalle, George.
Rousseau, Hugo and other lovers of
the common people refused to accept
the ideas of the aristocrats. AS con-
sequence. we now have democracy
with its ethics. its science, its poetry,
its literature, its arts, its philosophy,
and its religion. This system of
thought is decidedly opposed to that
of the aristocrats.
The poetry of the democratic spirit
breathes the hope of humanity in its
battles with privilege.
The literature of democracy mir
rors the lives of the common people
rather than the doings of the idle rich.
The ethics of democracy demand
that actions are right when they are
of service to humanity, and are wrong

ter interests of the people. The true
democrat says, with William Lloyd
Garrison. "Our country is the world
our countrymen are all mankind" Or,
if he prefers, he can credit this senti-
ment to Thomas Paine, who said the
same thing, only he put it in different
words.

and the Colorado Savings and Trust
company. These are controlled by
conservative business men of sound
judgment, who are in sympathy with
the life of the community, and active
in all that pertains to its interests.
The La Junta Brick and Tile COM
pany owns and operates an immense
brick plant in the west part of the city,
which turns out an excellent quality
of brick as well as draining tile and
vitrified sewer pipe.
The J. X. Mullen -four mill does a
prosperous business and has a capac-
ity of $50 barrels daily. La Junta
has also an ice plant with a capacity
of twenty-five tons daily; four lumber
yards and two creameries.
The farmers adjacent to La Junta
are beginning to realize the possibili-
ties of dairying. In no other country
can there be grown so many tons of
milk producing foods TO the acre. The
mild climate, together with cheap feed,
is found to attract dairymen from 9TH
er states.
Four great irrigating systems sup
ply water to the farmers round about
La Junta, and these last yield rich
harvest of alfalfa, wheat, sugar beets,
oats, cantaloupes and garden vege-
tables In addition to these there are
large vineyards yielding the choicest
grapes; cherry, plum and apple or
chards, and small fruits in abund-
ance.
The Arkansas Valley Railway, Light
and Power company gives excellent
service and furnishes the light and
power for the city.
La Junta has its own water system
the best in the valley. The water, of
which there is an unlimited supply, is
shown by chemical analysis to be
entirely free from elements harmful to
health. This is obtained from wells
northwest of the city. There is an
up to date pumping plant which forces
the water thru some eleven and one
half miles of city mains. La Junta
has also an up to date sewer system
with seven miles of pipe by which the
sewerage is conducted some distance
below the city.
As in the old days all roads led to
Rome, so now all roads in southeast
ern Colorado lead 70 La Junta. It was

According to the latest bulletin of
Secretary Marvin of the National As
sociation of Wool Manufacturers, our
imports of all manufactures of wool
during the ten months of the year
1916-l7 amounted to Sl4,4So,3S6 and
our corresponding domestic exports for
the same period rags. ready made
clothing and "all other" to S15,074,-
597, an excess of imports over exports
for the period of S594,221. Previous
monthly statements have shown n
large excess of exports over imports,
the excess occurring mostly in the
early part of the fiscal year. There
has been marked decrease of exports
of woolen fabrics and woolen clothing
In fabrics the decrease was from S27,-
512,907 in the ten months, ending
April, 1916, to S10,250,904 in the cor
responding ten m months of 1867.
The decrease in exports of wearing
apparel was from SlS,0S6,326. For n
time the war was a great help to
American wool manufacture, alike in
the decrease of competitive imports
and the large increase of exports of
fabrics and clothing.
