To War Savings Stamp Pledgors.

This is the last appeal can make
to you before the end of the War Saw
ings campaign on December 31st and
wish could make it strcng enough
so that each of you who read it will
at once go and buy all the War Saw
ings Stamps you have pledged and
more if possible. We certainly do not
want the world to know that we made
a big grand stand play and pledged
to buy our quota and then when it
came to a showdown fell down and
failed to keep our pledge. You know
as much about the governments fl
nancial program as ! do and conse-
quently you know that the government
must have this money which we have
pledged for stamps or must raise it
by some other methods. The war is
over, but two million men are still
abroad and thousands are still TO be
demobilized in this country. All this
takes money and the War Savings
Stamps which we have pledged TO buy
is one way of raising il.
Show your approval of the part the
United States played in winning the
war by buying the remainder of your
stamps today. Prowers county still
owes Uncle Sam $4,000 for War Saw
ings Stamps. DO YOU OWE ANY
PART OF IT? IF so co AND PAY
1T NOW!

Future of The Sugar Industry

The sugar beets grown in 1919 will
be made into sugar to sell in 1920. -
A fair price to be paid for beets is
agitating growers and manufacturers
alike and will be affected by the world
supply of raw cane sugar.
The national sugar equalization
board has agreed to buy the entire
Cuban crop, estimated this year at up
ward of 3,S000,000 tons, at $3.50 fob.
northern ports.
1t was planned to resell this sugar,
one-third to the Allies and two-thirds
to American refiners.
If the refiners committed themselves
to the purchase of two-thirds Of the
Cuban production, it might obviously
involve their buying more than 2,4OO,-
900 tons.
Refiners stocks have been accumu-
lating, and the estimated carry-over
for 1919 is 100000 tons.
Domestic cane sugar and beet pro-
duction, including Porto Rico and
Hawaii may reach 1,65O,0O0 tons.
A possible supply of more than A.,
100000 tons of raw cane sugar, there
fore in sight for next year, compared
with n normal United States consump-
ton of around 100000 to 3,sOO,OOO
tons.
A surplus of 100000 to 100000
tons is thus indicated, and refiners dc
not like the risk of carrying and dis
posing of two-thirds of the entire
Cuban crop in the circumstances.
The above facts are taken from a
review of the sugar situation in the
Christian Science Monitor of Novem-
ber 10.

Land Settlement Plans to Re Submit
ted to Assembly.

As result Of a meeting called last
week by Governor Gunter, at which
many Of those interested in the settle
ment and development of the state
were present, definite program Of
legislation will be submitted to the
general assembly when II convenes in
January. The program will cover both
what is known as the Lane plan and
what is known as the California plan.
At the general conference called by
the governor representatives were pre-
sent from the United States reclama-
tion service, the state immigration de-
partment, the railroad immigration de-
partments, the state land board, the
state engineers office, the Colorado
Development Federation and the Civic
and Commercial association of Denver.
After a discussion which lasted the
greater part of the day former Cover
nor Ammons, as chairman of the meet
ing, named n committee of five to
serve with Governor Gunter, Cover
nor-elect Shoup and himself, to in
vestigate the legal and practical phases
of the situation and recommend legis-
lation. The committee consistc of the
following. in addition to the three
governors: A. A. Edwards, president
of the state board of agriculture; Cas-
f. Harrington, head of the Colorado
Development Federation; John Z
Field of the state land board, Edward
d. Foster, commissioner of the state
board of immigration, and George w
Martin of the Rock Island railroad.
The committee met in an all-da,
session on Friday and finally deter.
mined upon a broad program of set
tlement and development, including
both national aid and work Of a pure.
ly state character. Under the Lsne
plan the government will be asked tc
cooperate in the colonization of lands
lying under completed government
projects, putting the farms in condi.
ton for immediate development and
selling them to settlers on long tern
amortization plans.
The state program will be modelled
after the California plan, under which
the state secures title to tracts of
land, erects buildings and other neces-
sary equipment and sells on terml

MOVEMENT TO PLANT
TREES AS MEMORIALS
GAINS MOMENTUM
Suggested That Each Community
Plant Tree for Every Citizen
Who Died i'm The War.

The nationwide movement toward
planting trees as living memorials to
our dead heroes is bringing more con-
crete suggestions. One from the state
forester of New Jersey proposes that
each community plant a number of
trees corresponding to the number of
soldiers who represent the commun-
ity's sacrifice. mo more fitting com
munity tribute is conceivable. Just as
the roots grow sturdier year by year
so will public appreciation of the serv-
ice rendered deepen, broaden and in
crease with the passage of time" says
this official.
"The idea is in every way so suit
= able that it hls already taken a ma
tiOn-wide hold and needs no argument
to spencer it. However, unlike mar
BILE shaft, hee connot endure with
out some systematic care. 1t would
be both unfortunate and uniting that
a memorial should be dedicated to such
cause without mature consideration
for its subsequent care. Further, a
large number of individual trees plant
ed haphazard, especially throughout
the rural sections, will largely express
an individual sentiment without the
dignity that should be accorded such
a memorial or the permanency that
comes only by community interest.
10 fhaxafAt. Lat a1l 1l,-
urged by the state forester that such
paintings be undertaken as universal
ly as possible, but that the efforts be
under the supervision of and with the
cooperation of public body or some
private body with a promise of per-
manency, such as the various clubs,
societies and fraternal orders in every
case. 1t is also suggested that so far
as may be, such paintings be done
in groups Of trees in public park or
square or in avenues along some high
way, and not by single trees, whether
along the road in parks or on some
private property. Such groups may
represent by the trees the total numb
or from any community or body who
have given their lives in the cause of
liberty, il this seems most fitting"
The state forester, Fort Collins,
Colorado, will be glad to advise in
regard to proper, hardy species to
grow in given locality in this state.
