To the Editor Of the Evening Capital:
Now that our army has got started
with so much vim and success, we can
see. in our minds eye, our troops en-
tering the Brandenzburg gate at Ber-
lin. pass up the famous Under den
Linden avenue. and take charge Of the
dark, dismal castle Of the late mad
Kaiser who had died at the hands OF
mob in coblenz ON the Rhine. We GER
tainly expected and hoped that our
little army would come up TO the fight
for democracy, justice and Christiani-
ty, with galiantry and bravoura, but
We did not exactly realize that our
boys would surpass all records in wip-
ing out the Huns, and scare them to
such an extent that they have been
taking TO their heels and dropped five
hundred cannon. These came just in
time to be used by our busy men on
the Germans. What a satisfaction TO
know that a large force of Red Cross
nurses are close TO our men and are

Has every one of your intelligent
and patriotic readers become a maya
zine member of the Red Cross? By
sending $500 TO The American Red
Cross, Washington, d. c., you will re-
ceive the beautifully illustrated maya

illustrations in the September number.
The colored illustrations are by ia
nous French and American artists
and are very beautiful. In fact, it
would seem impossible to furnish so
much for so little money as $500, yet
all the profits from the same are added
TO the Red Cross war funds.

HOW THE BRITISH DO 1T

Much good has come to Palestine
through British occupation of that
region. The orange industry was
saved by the British who imported oil
for irrigation machinery and provided
transportation facilities
A special organization has now been
established for the purpose of saving
other industries and beneftting the
whole country Normal life has been
resumed in Jerusalem. and that city
is said to be cleaner under British
occupation than ever before in its
history.
So far the cost of this British ad-
ministration has been met from army
funds The inhabitants have not been
taxed at all Also. cash is paid for
everything taken by the administra-
ton. There are no fines or levies
such as the German administration
OF Belgium has seen fit 20 impose up
on that suffering land.
1t is not to be wondered at that
feeling of confidence and good will
exists between the inhabitants and
their British friends. The population
Of Palestine has good reason for be-
ing pro-British and pro-Ally in its
attitude
II the Germans were given to read
ing morals and learning through OBJ
servation and experience, they might
profit by British example in the Holy
Land

ABSENT SOLDIERS

IL has been necessary again TO send
out general warning against the alb
senting of soldiers from their training
camps Few men actually leave the
camps without permission. but large
numbers of them over-stay their
leave of absence-an offense which,
according to strict army rules. is no
less serious.
II is hardly correct to class cases
as "desertion. The boys do not in
tend to desert: they are having a good
time at home, and are simply tempt
ed to continue il with too little re-
gard for the military obligation. If
the evil continues to grow, however, it
may become necessary for the army
authorities 10 adopt stern measures.
The men themselves should recog-
nize the vital importance of their sub
hitting TO the army discipline and
getting the maximum of training in
the minimum of time Wilful alb
sence from duty is especially serious
when the nation is engaged in a great
war whose successful issue depends
on these men. and when the units TO
which they belong are liable to be or
dered abroad at any time.
Almost as much responsibility rests
with the relatives and friends of the
men concerned. Any person who
knowingly encourages a soldier to
over-stay his leave is guilty of little
less than treason. In some of the
belligerent countries heavy punish
ment would be visited on both classes
of offenders. 1t should never become
necessary TO adopt such a policy here

Report of Farmers Committee on the
Cost of Sugar Beet Growing -



We are handing you herewith a
copy of report on the cost of pro-
duction of sugar bects in this section
of Colorado, made by "A committee of
our members appointed for that pur-
pose at a meeting held on the 18th
dav of January and unanimously ap-
proved and adoptcd by "A meeting held
in Lamar on the 26th of January,
which meeting was participated in by
about sixty representative farmers of
this vicinity. members Of the Lower

''It appears certain that for the year
1918 the labor cost will be consider
ably higher than in 1917. We believe
that the conservative estimate of this
additional work will cost for this year
about $1,000 which, according 10 the
cost for 1917, would make an actual
cost of production for 1918 of $500
per acre.
"The above does not include any
allowance for profit" to the grower.
We believe it will be conceded that the
growers are entitled to a profit of at
yeast $1,000 per acre, thus making
$500 per acre as the average return
which the grower should receive for
the product of an acre.
"As nearly as we have been able to
ascertain, the average tonnage pro-
duced in this territory in the year of
1917 was approximately IL tons. This,
however, was an exceptionally good
year and the average was consider
ably higher than in the ordinary or
average year. We find that the av-
erage yield in an ordinary year is
about ten tons per acre. Our conclus-
ion is, that taking into consideration
the value of the land for other crops.
and the cost of production of beets.
that the beet growers of this territory
can not afford to raise beets for less
than n fiat price of $1,000 per ton, and
we recommend that our association in
sist upon the sugar company paying
us such price or grow no bects."

REDEEMING STOCK
Masonic Temple Stock Already Being
Taken Up Although Contracts
Not Completed

Orient Chapter No. 80, X. A. NJ.
started in last week with the first call
for Masonic Temple stock. They re-
deemed fifty shares Of the stock. The
Temple was built by Lamar Lodge No.
30. A. F. g. A. NJ, and Orient Chap
ter. The first issue for the original
temple was all taken up by the two
orders before the big new addition was
built a little over u year ago. Owing
to the location being somewhat out of
the business section in 1902 when the
first building was erected the redcmp-
tion was slow at first and it was not
until 1916 that all was taken up. This
time although the stock issue is much
greater the redemption begins in a lit
tie over a year from the date of dedi-
cation and before all the contracts for
work have been completed. 1t is
splendid showing not only of the pros
perity of the order in Lamar, but Of
the city itself that this splendid build
ing will begin paying out on its stock
before entirely completed. The stock
was subscribed by members of the or
der, and draws six per cent interest
payable when the stock is redeemed.
II is evident that in few years time
this splendid home will be owned en-
tirely by the Masonic bodies, and is
monument which will be the pride Of
the members and all citizens Of La
mar and vicinity.

ENLISTMENT NOTES
EL,istments for PrOwers County Reach
the High Mark of 355, Lamar
Having Almost Half of the
Number

The committee of the County War
Council was arranging the lists for
the service flags for the various towns
of the county this week, and the re
suit shows that Prowcrs county has
more than done its share to supply
the army and navy with recruits. The
total number for the county was
found to be 355 so far, almost three
per cent of the government estimate
of the county's population. At this rate
over the country there would be over
three million men under arms, OF
twice as many as the country actual,
has. The Lamar total is 170, Holly
70, Granada 81, bristol 33, Wiley l6,
Hartman 10. The figures for Granada,
Bristol and Hartman owing to the
mixed rural routes are somewhat mix
ed but the number as given above is
made up from the postoftiee addresses
given by the recruits.

Hearings are continuing in the sen

on the administration bill giving the
president certain powers over the
railroads, including the guaranteeing
Of their securities. The republicans OF
that committee are devoting them
selves to the work of perfecting the
measure that it will meet the APPROX
al of the roads themselves, and not
cause them to go to court after its
passage in order to protect their prop
erty rights. To throw the billions OF
railroad securities into prolonged lit
igation at time like the present prob
lbly would do more than any other one
hing to disrupt completely our eco
lomic establishment. Such a misfor-
tune would be an overwhelming EN-.
barrassment to the government in the
fotation Of future bond issues of Lib
erty Bonds. The republicans can rcn.
der no more patriotic service to the
'ountry than so to amend the railroad
bill as sufficiently to satisfy the com.
panies so that they will be content tc
qbide by its provisions, instead OF
having recourse to the law courts.
