ening the hand Of the law can they
be overcome.
The work of the reds is especially
aimed at the organization of the ma
tional guard units, as they say that
when they get ready to turn hell loose
in the country like it is in Russia.
they don't want any soldiers in arms
to interfere with their plans. They
are planning to make a second Russia
out of this country. and while it is i'm
possible for them to succeed yet if
the forces of law and order are un-
organized and totally unprepared they
can turn loose a reign of murder and
arson that will cause fearful destruc-
tion before the forces of good govern
ment can be modified to combat them.
This is not pessimism it is merely a
statement of conditions that it be-
hoves all law abiding citizens to as
sist in meeting. The secret service of
both the government and state posi-
lively assure us that such a revolu-
tion is being planned and by organiza-
tion strong enough to do great dam
age unless a proper force is ready to
cope with them. "Americanism and
Safety First" is the watchword of the
campaign for the local guard company

WASHINGTON ITEMS
Farmers Want the Facts

Washington, Apri, 7.-(Special Cor
respondence) Both farmers and con-
sumers are getting deeply interested
in the charges of wheat and flour prof
iteering while grain marketing was un-
der the control of the Food Admins
tration. Some time ago a grand jury
at Spokane, Washington, in the midst
of the great wheat producing section
of the finland Empire made u rath-
er lengthy and direct charge that of
ficials in control of grain sales had
made immense private profits in grain
or flour. That charge is now under
investigation by Senate Committee.
Following that charge Of prcflteering
comes now a statement from Commits
sioner of Agriculture Cannon, of Ida
no, urging 4 grand jury investigation
of flour-milling operations in that
state during the time of price regula-
ticn under the Food Administration.
The Food Administration it will be re-
membered, represented to the country
that it was limiting the profits of mill
lers to 25 cents per bar-el. Mr.. Can
non is quoted as saying that prior to
the price-fixing period, the average
profit Of flour was 25 cents per barrel,
but that during the year 1917 these
same mills made an average of 80
cents on every barrel Of -four sold and
nearly 2S per cent on their investment,
profits that arc indafensible, consider
ing the fact that one mill for six
months of the year shows as high as
50 barrel" Even higher profits are
alleged to have been made in 1918 and
1919. The Food Administration con-
tinued its control of grain until the
end of 1919, so the charge made by the
Spokane grand jury and by the Idaho
Commissioner of Agriculture that
there has been profiteering at the ex-
pense of farmers or consumers or both
indicates that the Food Administra
tion was guilty Of acts Of either omis-
sion of commission from which the
country suffered All the facts will
probably come out in the Senate in
vestigation.

With over one hundred members
Lodge No. 1919, b. p. o. E. closed the
most successful years work in the his
tory of the lodge with rousing meet
ing. The new officers were installed
and given an enthusiastic boost to
start out another year with deter
mination to duplicate the good work
The statement of the secretary and
treasurer for the years work showed
that over 220 new members had been
added to the lodge and the treasury
is in the most opulent condition it has
ever been even after paying over three
thousand dollars for the site and or
ganization work looking to the build
ing of the proposed new home.
The officers who retired with this
fine record were r. L. Christy, Exalt-
ed Ruler; j. A. Rourke, Z. Id. X; A.

LOCAL COMPANY
OF NATIONAL GUARD
Col. Taylor Of the l15th Engineers
Here to Start the Work of Or
ganizing a Company of the
Colorado National Guard
for Prowers County.

Governor Shoup has appointed +. VI.
Wilson as chairman Of the civilian
committee for the work of organizing
the Prowers county company of the
Colorado National Guard and Capt. II.
c. Byrnes of the army reserve is the
head of the military committee of this
division, and these two are working to-
gether for the success of the move
ment.
Col. Taylor of the 1l5th Engineers,
who has been appointed by the war
department to take charge of the work
in this section, was here yesterday
and at dinner given in his honor by
a number of the business men active
steps were taken to get the good work
under way. Several committees wore
appointed to take charge of various
features of the work of organization,
and it is believed that results will soon
be obtained. The conditions are much
more favorable now than in the past
and there is a wealth of well drilled,
able bodied material to make up the
company. Also more favors will be
shown them by the community, the
state and the government than hereto
fore, and lot of discouraging fea-
lures of the past history of the guard
will be removed.
The situation throughout the nation
is becoming acute in many respects
and every good American citizen
should lend his encouragement to the
establishment of strong force in each
county that will stand for law and
order, the protection of lives and prop
erty. The perusal Of the daily papers
most any time will convince any SEN
sible person that the forces Of an
archy, destruction and disorder are
actively at work not only in all the
larger cities but even in the more rur-
al comrunities and only BY strength

An Expensive Luxury

The Nonpartisan League govern
ment of North Dakota has been a rath-
er costly experiment to the people Of
that state. Farmers in other states
probably will look very carefully be
fore they leap into the same kind Of
a mix-up. The following from the
Country Gentleman" gives a pretty
fair idea Of the situation:
at cost the farmers Of North Da-
kota SIG per head to join the Nonpart-
iran League. A. c. Towney. grand
saehem Of the league, promised them
brightness and blessings, the strang-
ulation Of Big Biz and taxation with
100 per cent farmer representation
Now Tovnloy has delivered both re
presentation and taxation, with the
emphasis on taxation. Last year the
farmers Of North Dakota paid 81 .6SS.-
3j5 in taxes. This year they will pay
Si,j4O,S26 in taxcs-an increase Of
only I69 per cent Your state is in
vited to follow North Dakota's lead
and establish a Townley Soviet gov
ernmcnt. 1t will cost only SIG a mem
bership to listen to the big noise and
then have your taxes jabbed up 169
per cent. Big Biz in its most rapa-
cious days couldn't have contrived a
gaudicr gold brick to bounce on the
skull of a gullible public"

Government Accumulated Debts

Many people overlook the fact that
on turning the railroads back to their
private owners the Government mana
gers returned them under many hand
leaps and embarrassments. Among
these handicaps is an accumulation of
claims and lawsuits which were not
prosecuted while the railroads were
under Government control. Men hav-
ing claims against q railroad company
either under contract or for damages,
could not bring suit against the Gov
eminent with the same opportunity
for success that they would have if
the railroads were under their private
managers. These suits and the press
ing of claims, therefore, were in n
large majority of instances deferred,
and now that the roads are back under
their private owners the suits will be
pressed As a result of that, the rail-
roads will be callri upon u liquida'e
"a large accumulation cf aims accra-
ing under Government operation and
properly chargeable to the expense Of
Government operation but ultimately
showing on the books rs paid while
the railroads are under private man
agcment.
On the face of the record, there
fore, the railroads under private man
agement will in this respect make a
disadvantageous showing due largely
to the fact that the railroads were un-
der Government control for two years.

A Pleasant Surprise

During the absence of Register A.
L. Beavers at Trinidad the past week
few of his friends knowing his en-
thusiastic admiration for Herbert
Hoover, candidate for president, got
a handsome picture of his favorite and
a fine frame and beautiful inscription
with the words "my choice" on it, and
decorated the wall above his desk with
them. This touching evidence of es-
TEEN so affected the veteraE federal
official that it brought tears to his eyes
and struck him speechless for a period
Of half second or less.

Alfalfa Meal Mill Finishes Seasons
Run

; Tuesday ut u o'clock the citizens Of
Wiley were alarmed by an unusual
noise at the alfalfa mill. Upon investi-
CATION it was learned that the boys
had just finished cleaning up the mill
yard and were done grinding for the
season and engineer Geosch ives cele-
brating little with :he whistle. Mar
ager Durham reports that it is re
cord breaking year for the Wiley mill,
having ground about 2500 tons more
this season than was ever glound in
one season at Wiley. The company at
l-Niley has paid out for hay alone ap-
proximately s250,0O0OO the past sea-
son commencing July LIST, 1919. Dur
ing the same period Of time a little
better than $29 10000 has been paid
out to the working men of Wiley fer
labor.
During the past season the Company
has added to its property here two
large warehouses or hay sheds, being
built in such manner that they may
be used for either warehouse or hay
shed as circumstances might demand
and the past few months owing to ox-
treme car shortage these warehouses
were all that kept the mill running and
made it possible to finish up the sea-
son in SO good time.
At the present time Foreman A. c.
Roger and his men are disulanteling
the engine and boiler room as fast as
possible preparatory to installing a
new Murray Corliss, tandem-compound
300 horsepower engine. The setting
for the boilers is to be torn out and
rebuilt new so that by the beginning
of the new season June 18th Wiley
will have one of the best if not the
best alfalfa mill west of the Missouri
river
Following the finishing 1f grinding
on Tuesday Mr.. Durham invited all
the mill hands down to Moon dining
hall where they were treated TO
threc-course chicken banquet Plates
were laid for twenty-four. F. VI. VIII
son, general manager of the company,
r. f. Cooper, assistant general man
ager, r. E. Nye. secretary; f. W. John-
son, general superintendent, all of La
mar, and H. r. Lowe, manager Of the
McClave mill were out of town guests.
At the close of the banquet Mr.. vii
son in behalf of the company and as
a token of their esteem of his efforts
to make Wiley one Of their top notch
mills, presented Mr.. Durham with a
fine gold seventeen-jewel Elgin watch.
Mr.. Nye then presented foreman, A.
c. Roger with a beautiful gold stick
pin. Mr. Roger has been with the
company eight years and is one of the
best experienced alfalfa meal men in
the state of Colorado.
The spirit of cooperation and good
fellowship between the employers and
employees of the Denver Alfalfa Mill
ing and Products Co. is one of the
paramount issues of the company. Ere
auently an occasion similar to this one
is enjoyed by these men. On many
occasions Manager Floyd Wilson has
entertained the men under his manage
ment with an evening of good fellow
ship and big feed. This is one of
the greatest avenues to successful
management and mutual cooperation
between employer and employee and
they have spared nothing in making
for mutual accord in tine milling sys-

Charity for the Worthy

The Italian Premier is authority for
the statement that throughout the
world there are now idle 100000, 900
men who ordinarily are engaged in
productive enterprise. OF course no
ono can know definitely whether his
figures are accurate or not. They are
certainly not accurate if the rest of
the world were to be judged by con-
ditions in the United States. There
are exceedingly few idle men here; but
wherever there is an idle man, here
or elsewhere, there is some other work
ing man who is doing enough to make
up for The idleness. If there are 30O,-
0O0, 900 idle men throughout the world,
the high prices of commodities in the
United States today are due in some
measure to the fact that those millions
of men are not proc nut are con-
suming, and a large rip Vi the COM
