POTATO FLOUR FACTORY BIG VALLEY ASSET

OF the various enterprises that have come IN tho San

more potatoes to the acre. The
prosperity of the San Luis
Valley depends upon the
farmer. who in turn depends
upon the money he receives for
his crops, and our new indus
try will increase the amount
paid to the potato grower by
from 100000 to $4,000 per
year. operated ut its present
capacity. Added to this il
will mean an additional
amount expended in salaries
and wages of approximately
$4,000.
In these days Of high cost
of living" it is very essential
that no food product grown be
wasted. as to do so results in
the effects being felt by the
entire consuming public. 1t is
therefore not entirely from
the narrower point of view of
business that we must look at
this new industry, but also
from the broader one Of patri-
otic effort of conserving val
liable food product. This was
well illustrated during the re-
cent coal shortage, when even
grain flour mills were COM
PEELED to suspend operations,
and the fuel administration re-
leased coal to the potato flour
mill, that there should be no
delay in beginning operations.
One carload has been received
and is now on the ground.
AS an example of enterprise
and rapid fire" construction
a record has been set by this
company in cooperation with
the local people connected
with it, that will stand for
many a day. Ground was
broken on the 10th day of No
vember, actual building opera
tions beginning on the 25th,
and the building was complet-
ed and turned over to the
company on December 18th.
When one stops to consider
that a hundred thousand feet
of lumber was used in the
building, that seven hundred
feet of railroad siding has
been laid, that electrical wir-
ing, power transformers and
equipment have been installed,
that a one hundred and fifty
horse power boiler has been
received and set and is now
ready for steam, that five car
loads of machinery and equip
ment has been received and is
practically installed, and that
the company will be in posi-
ton to begin operations by
January first in compliance
with its promise, it reflects
great credit on everyone con-
nected with the work. Many
of our fellow townsmen smiled
broadly when Contractor Fred
Oellien agreed to have the
building completed by Christ
mas, but he, with the help Of
Cement Contractor Berry and
the Akers Lumber company,
has made this promise true
and with ten days to spare.
And from the fact that Fred
drew down a handsome bonus
in addition to the contract, for
such speedy and satisfactory
work, he wears a very we'll
satisfied smile himself.

Prof. Massey Gives
Delightful Entertainment

Thursday evening a most
enjoyable entertainment was
given to the people of Franklin
ton by Prof. Massey, the blind
and gifted musician who is
spending a short while in our
midst. Porf. Massey was assist
ed in the evenings performance
by the Misses Greenlaw of Vir-
ginia, both of whom are talented
in music.
Prof. Massey has been blind
since birth, but this has not
prevented him from cultivating
a naturally sweet and mellow
voice and also perfecting his
gift for piano performance, and
while both Of these and his
readings we're remarkable and
highly enjoyable, it was his violin
music that was considered so
wonderful and has excited much
comment from all who we're
fortunate enough to hear him on
this occasion.
Mr.. Massey has been impor.
uned for another evening of
song and music so with an en-.
tirely new program, and still
assisted by Miss Ida Greenlaw,
finished violinist and pianist and
her young sister Dora, piano
accompanist, he will entertain
the people on Friday evening at
the school auditorium.
All who heard these perform.
ers last week can be assured of
another evening better still, and
those who were unfortunate
enough to miss the first per.
formance can count upon getting
their full moneys worth Friday
evening.
Prof. Massey is public spirited
and generous and makes a point
of giving part of the proceeds of
his performance to some worthy
cause in the town. Out of his
earnings last year be donated
$1,000 to the Red Cross, the
