Several selections of music were given by the orchestra, and was great ly appreciated by all.
 The members of the W. o. W. have voted to turn their hall over to the young people of this community on the second and fourth Friday nights of every month, so that they will have a place to come together and enjoy themselves. We take this opportunity of thanking them for their kindness and the interest they have shown in the young life of this community.
 The men have gotten together and decided that they have hesitated long enough and have started to work on our community shed. They have it almost covered and expect to finish 1t this week.

A Brighter Future
for Sugar Industry

''GeneraI cond lions surrounding
the beet sugar industry have shown
marked improvement in the past few
weeks with indications pointing to q
stabilization Of the industry" Judge
H. ii. Rolapp, president of the Unit
ed States Sugar Manufacturers as
aociat:on, declares.
Judge Rolapp expressed the opin-
ion, based on q close study of the
interests, that their worst days have
passed. Among the factors he men
toned IS giving rise to this belief
arc the recent strength displayed by
the New York sugar market, where
strong demand has been noted. the
moderate advance in the price of
sdgar and the measures taken in
Cuba to prevent any probability Of
1romiscuous dumping OH the United
States market.
He likewise emphasized the import
ance of tariff legislation as 4 favor
able factor and stated that the dom
este sugar industry can count with
some assurance upon the adoption of
adequate measures of protection in
the Fordney permanent tariff bill
when it is finally enacted into law.
Many members of Congress of both
parties indicated by their stand on
the emergency bill their strong be-
lief in the necessity for protection
to home grown sugar, Judge Rolapp
said.
General business conditions in the
East are showing improvement in
Judge Rolapp's opinion. On this
subject he said:
while eastern financial sentiment
is moi exactly buoyant, the psychology
Of the situation is materially better
and men are looking ahead with con-
tidcnce. 1t is my belief that we have
scraped bottom and will be definitely
on the upgrade by the end of the
year. While the forward movement
Is not likely 20 be runaway affair,
next year should bring in general,
and the beet sugar industry in partic-
ular, far greater measure Of sue
cess and prosperity than they have en-
joyed in the months of depression
now approaching an end"

$500 THE YEAR
Eads May Become
Railroad Center

Eads may become q railroad town
some of these days. According to
the Wall Street Journal there is talk
in railroad circles to the effect that
the Missouri Pacific is planning to
build line from Eads direct to Den
Yer. to connect with the Moffct road
and share in some of the buciness of
Denver and the northwest portion of
Colorado
Reasons for building from Esds
across is that the distance is not
much greater from Eads to Denver
than it is from Eads to Pueblo. 1t is,
by rail. 107 miles from Eads to Pu-
eblo and the distance from Eads to
Denver on a direct line is consider
ably less than $50 miles. A road
to Denver extended from Pueblo
would traverse country already
well supplied with railroads, while
across from Eads it would open up
much new territory.
