 He was no travelling man. That much was noticed by clerk in the consolidated city ticket office at Hain Street and Court Avenue.
 s'Let me have sleeping car accom- modations on the train to New York, ' said the man, approaching the clerk cautiously.
 S'For a single passenger?" asked the clerk, smiling.
 "No," replied the man Pm Thar ried, but Pm not taking anybody with me. A single shelf will answer, suppose.
 "Upper or lower?" again asked the clerk.
 What's the difference ?" inquired the passenger.
 "A difference of about S4" answer ed the clerk.
 The passenger paused, as he fum- plained:
 "You understand of course, the lower is higher than the upper The higher price is for the lower berth If you want it lower, you'll have to ..o higher. We sell the upper lowei' than the lower. In other words, the higher the lower."
 "Why do they all ask for the low err" asked the man.
 "On account of it's convenience" re- piled the clerk hastily. "MoS per sons don't like the upper, although it it's lower, on account of it being high CT, and because when you occupy an upper, you have got to get up to your bed and then get down when you get up.

 Several school papers from schools all ovei the state have been sent us this year and this has created a de- sire to print a Carlisle school paper. We believe that " could make a sue cess of such paper if we could get enough advertisers and subscribers from the town men.
 The girls basket ball team will go eo DeYalla Bluff Saturday, Dec. IS. We played theil team here Nov. 20, and defeated them, and have great hopes of another victory.
 At the game here there were as many representatives from DeValls Bluff as there were from Carlisle. The team needs support and nothing would help them to win more than loyal sup port from the side lines.
 That Carlisle will hold permanent place in the literary world in the fu- ture will be proven next Monday when the senlors and juniors hand in their original Christmas stories.
 
 Miss Morrow was absent Monday and Tuesday morning on account of illness but her place in High School was filled by Miss Undene Osborn.
 Do not forget that the show, "From the Manager to the Cross,' will be shown at the auditorium Wednesday night, Dec. 22
 F The seventh and eighth grades gave the program in chapel Monday morn ing. 1t was an unusually good pro- gram and was enjoyed not only by the school children but by several visitors.
 The sixth grade will give the pro- gram Monday morning and would like for as many of the town people to be here as possible.
 The program given last Friday night by the music and expression pu- pills was very interesting.
 The senior class is very sorry to have one of it's members, Angie Os- born, absent on account of illness. school several days, we hope she will SOOn Uo dDie to return.
 The High School will have Literary society Friday, beginning at 3:15. You are invited to attend.
 The senior class met in the office Wednesday morning for the purpose of electing class officers. Those chos- en were: Ebb Miller, president and Mae Mann, secretary and treasurer. Sthoc' boys al !; rir';: Nc Att letics do not hinder promotion, because ev- cry pupil is required to make passing grades before he is allowed to play on the teams.
 Athletics encourage boys and girls to attend High School. Many older boys would drop out of school if it were not for the pleasure he gets in the athletic work
 Athletics develop strong muscles which means more in life than lots of other things. What to us, is we'll developed mind without strong body to support it. We all know that boys and girls in the city schools would not take the proper exercise without en- couragement to do so, in school.
 Last, but not least, athletics teach fair play. A good athlete knows how to lose, as well as how to win. He has strong regard for his fellow players He has learned that fairness means more than victory. Fair play in school means honesty in later life.
 Encourage athletics and you build up your town, you make your school feel that you are part of it, and you better your own environment.

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT UNDER
 TEST IN MARYLAND COURT

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 14.-Trial of the suit brought by the Maryland State League of Defense to test the validity of the federal woman suf- frage amendment was begun in the count of common pleas here today.
 The action is directed against the board of registers of the seventh pre- cinct of the Eleventh Ward, asking that they be required to strike from their books the names of two women, one white, the other negro, because the petitioners do not admit the force of the amendment.
 Two main points are set forth in the petition of the anti-suffragists- one, that the amendment is not such as Congress Is authorized by article four of the constitution to propose to the legislatures of the various states to be ratified by them, and the other that it was never properly ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.

GOING BACK

The American Federation of Labor,
headed by Samuel Gompers, declares
that "reaction is doing its best to con-
ceal and evade" the paramount issues
before the American people which are:
"The league of nations; protection
of the people against profiteers; re-
lation of government to the aspira-
tions of workers; use of the inJunc-
ton as a means of compelling work
ers to obey the will of employers; the
high cost of living; establishment OF
arbitrary tribunals and boards to Co
cree workers, repress their normal and
legitimate activities and clog the pro-
cesses of industry by artificial meth
DDS; the right of workers to organize
for mutual advancement and develop
ment and to withdraw their service
when terms and conditions of service
are oppressive.
"On these issues must America de-
eide. The American people never
willingly go back" =,
The league of nations question Will
be finally settled as our people dl-
rect. When it comes to profiteering
the American Federation of Labor is
guilty through artificially forced wag-
es, strikes and decreased production.
Relation of government to aspirations
Of workers according to Mr.. Gomper's
construction would mean that the
American Federation of Labor would
dominate the government. The use OF
the injunction is not to compel radical
workmen to work but to prevent them
from destroying life and property and
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-11-11

keeping others from working. The
high cost of living can be laid large
ly at the door of the American Feder-
alton of Labor which has stood for q
policy of decreased production at
greatly increased wages. Boards to
coerce workers and repress their nor
NAL activities is a misleading phrase;
the reference is to such organizations
as the Kansas Industrial Court which
is for the purpose Of settling labor
disputes without strikes. Such courts
do away with the job of the labor agi-
tator and prevent by legal process,
conspiracies to hold up the public
sub as We witnessed in the coal, rail-
road and similar strikes. The right
of workers to organize or quit work
when conditions are oppressive has
never been denied hut the American
Federation Of Labor claims the right
to enforce its arbitrary demands by
calling strike at any time, regardless
of public welfare, to force compliance
from any industry which opposes its
ultimatums.

Colorado's record breaking sugar
beet crop, estimated by the latest fig
ures of the Bureau of Crop estimates
at Washington at 2,740,000 tons, is
pouring into the factories without a
hitch. More beets are being piled this
year than ever before on account OF
The size of the crop and the speed with
which it was harvested. The factories
are doing their best to cope with the
situation and are making and break
ing records for efficiency almost daily.

NEW SUGAR FACTORY TO BE
CONSTRUCTED IN VEL
LINGTON. COLORADO

FORT COLLINS, Colo, Nov. 10
A new sugar factory is to be built at
Wellington by the Du Pont Sugar
yer and Colorado and Iowa men, which
plans to build chain Of sugar fac
tories in the state.
Before making any announcement
of the undertaking the company OBJ
tained five-year contracts with land
owners and farmers around Yelling
ton for more than 1000 acres of beets
yearly, and with more than l 200 more
definitely promised. This 5000 acres
in independent of the Buckeye district
where many farmers have expressed
themselves as ready to sign with the
company when arrangements are
made to receive beets for the fac
tory in that district. The factory will
serve any of the territory between
Fort Collins and Buckeye.
Factory Site Purchased
The site of the factory, 240 acres of
ground adjoining Wellington on the
south, has already been purchased.
Orders for machinery are to be placed
Immediately. and engineers will sur
vey the ground for the buildings with
in ten days. The construction of the
factory will begin as soon as possible
and will be carried on as rapidly as
the weather will permit. Contracts
for the building already have been let
to the Schwartz Engineering company
of Denver, which has just completed
building sugar factory at Green Bay,
Mich, and this concern guarantees to
have the factory ready for operation
by the middle of next September at
the opening of the beet harvest.
The plant is to be a model factory
of 60O-ton slicing capacity, of con-
create and steel construction, and will
be equipped with the latest design Of
machinery obtainable.
White Glazed Finish
A distinctive feature of the factory
and of the others to follow will be a
snow-white glazed finish inside and
out. 1t is the company's intention, it
is stated, to make the Du Pont COM
pany's plants white landmarks wher-
ever they are located, and make them
speak in this way the purity of the
sugar product they turn out.
Sites for two other plants have
been selected, it is stated, but they
will not be built until after the Well
ington plant is in operation. Until
then these sites will not be revealed.
Both other sites selected, however,
are in this state.-Denver Times.
