Broke Record.

The legislative session did not close
as soon as expected last week owing
to the deadlock between the house and
senate over the highway commission
bill The deadlock lasted sixty five
hours breaking all Colorado records
and Hon. w. b. Gordon, who was chair
man of the house committee. had to
be constantly on the job. He won out
and the senate finally surrendered.
Mr. Gordon has returned and is now
busy trying to catch up with his own
business affairs and get ready for the
spring term of district court which
opens next week.

Redeeming a Promise.

President Harding promised that one
of his first duties would be to redeem
the failure of the preceding admins
tration to provide adequately for dis
abled service men. To that end he has
appointed a special committee to study
the general question Of soldier relief
The personnel OF the committee gives
assurance that its work will be per-
formed with the utmost efficiency, and
that its recommendations may be fol-
lowed with the certainty Of attaining
the desired results. Gen. Charles G..
Dawes Of Chicago is the chairman. His
ability as chief OF the supply division
OF the American Expeditionary Force
to get results in spite Of exasperat-
ing difficulties is well known. Associ-

Kissing The Rod.

Recent happenings in Europe only
confirm the good judgment Of the
American people in keeping clear of
the league OF nations and Old World
politics. In spite Of the lofty ambi-
tions ascribed to the lower classes Of
European society by the former Presi-
dent and others, it appears that they
care little for a republican form of
government. The peace conference
carved out a motley array of new
states, few self-styled leaders set
up what they called republics within
their borders, and the world was in
formed that monarchies were despis-
ed and abhored by the people in their
new freedom.
What has happened? Greece has
recalled her royal family by an over
whelning popular vote; the Hapsburg
dynasty seeks restoration to the
throne of Hungary; the royalist senti-
ment in Germany appears to be gain
ing strength; and it is predicted that
uation will see new car in power.
The trouble is the people of Europe,
with one or two exceptions, have been
ruled by kings and emperors for hun
dreds of years, and it is utterly fore
ign to their nature to adopt any other
form of government. II was fatuous
for the leader of our peace expedition
and the idealists who accompanied him
to think they could construct republics
out of the subjects Of monarchies. You
can't make a purse out of a pigs ear.
The European welter is at safe dis
tance and had better be kept there.

One Proposition Defeated.

The official canvas of the vote at
the recent city election revealed the
defeat of the proposition to sell the
city's water rights in the Fort Bent
Ditch Co. The vote for was few
more than those against, but it re-
quired favorable two-thirds vote, so
it was defeated. The other PROPOSE
tions with the regularly nominated
ticket had practically no opposition.

BEET ACREAGE
Crop in Valley Will Be Almost as
Large as Last Year.

The campaign for acreage for su-
gar beets for the 1921 season is prac-
tically closed now, and in an inter
view with the local chief agriculturist
Of the A. b. S. Co., C. E. Swink, we
were informed that the total on Sat
urday night showed about 5000 acres
will be planted in the Lamar territory
or about so per cent of last years
crop. The total number of farmers is
almost the same as last year, but
many have reduced their acreage
somewhat. The on.pacts run at about
fifty-fifty so far as the sliding scale
and flat rate contracts are concerned.
The A. b. S. Co. will have $4,000
acres in the valley The acreage in
the Rocky Ford district is about two
hundred acres larger than il was last
season, but Pueblo county is greatly
reduced. The acreage is said to be
considerably reduced around Las Ami
mas, but the big acreage at Lamar
and Rocky Ford insures big run at
the factory.

Need a Band.

The attempt to organize a band in
Lamar is again being tried and it is
hoped will meet with general encour-
agement from our business men. There
is no greater attraction in any place
than first-class band and Lamar has
ample talent if the proper spirit is
put behind the movement.

State Legislation Affecting Agriculture
is Satisfactory to Farmers.

Cooperation among all the farmer
organizations of the state is believed
to be responsible, to a great extent,
for the good results obtained in a
legislative way from the session of
our state legislature just closed. Just
before the legislature convened, the
Legislative representatives of the four
farmers organizations had a meeting
and agreed on what legislation should
be asked for by the farmers of the
state. When this legislation was pre-
sented, backed by the unanimous en-
dorsement of these organizations, it
was given due consideration and was
passed with very little opposition. The
bills as presented and finally passed,
receiving the Governors signature, are
rs follows:
Establishing department of mar
kets under the supervision of the
state; establishing a department Of
economies at the Agricultural College
in Fort Collins; forbidding the use of
the term cooperative by corpora
tions organized for other than purely
cooperative purposes; Strengthening
the insurance code for the protection
of mutual insurance companies; in
crcasing appropriations for pure seed
work; increasing appropriations for
bee inspection; passage of purebred
lei, of ha sttla ,lRu he
testing law; passage of the reciprocal
demurrage law; appropriation Of sl2,-
500 for use of Biological Survey for
determination of predatory animals. to
meet $4,000 appropriation of Feder-
al funds; desirable change in the fenc-
| ing law, and several measures relat-
ing to irrigation matters which were
backed by the Water Users Associa-
] ton"
In appreciation of this action by the
Governor and the Legislature, resolu-
tions were sent to each House and to
the Governor as follows:
ITO the Honorable Oliver H. Shoup.
Governor of Colorado. Strive, the
members Of the Legislative Commit
tees of the Colorado Farmers Con-
gress. Colorado State Grange, Colora-
do Branch of the Farmers Education
al and Cooperative Union and of the
Colorado State Farm Bureau, desire
to give unanimous expression to our
appreciation of the manner in which
Legislation affecting the agricultural
interests of the state has been given
| final sanction at your hands.
"Our united thought on this subject
1 is embodied in resolutions presented
/ for record in both the Senate and
House of the Twenty-third General
Assembly, copy Of which is herewith
submitted for the information of your
self and as further expression to the
Chief Executive of the good will Of
the farm organizations.
ave feel that public recognition
should be given the Chief Executive
and the General Assembly for the very

Santa Claus, for an erminc wrap of
this sort costs well over a thousand
dollars But the beautiful thing is
so soft and light you can crush 1t up

more luxurious by the deep cape

the back.
These snow white ermine cloaks
Of the season are not trimmed with
black ermiue tails--that would take
away from the spotless whiteness.
But sometimes the smart little black
tails are used TO trim the lining of
the wrap. A wrap of spotless
ermine, for instance, has lining OF
white chiffon over white satin, with
stripes OF ermine tails at Intervals
down the length OF the garment.
