WILL OPEN EASTERN BRANCH
ID. A. NJ. 4 p. Co. viii Establish New
Office in Saint Louis.

As the largest market for alfalfa
meal products is in the southeastern
states and St. Louis is the principal
gateway through which that section
is reached the Denver Alfalfa Milling
and Products Co., the largest manu-
facturers Of alfalfa products, have for
some time felt the need of more direct
contact with that section. They have
therefore decided to open an eastern
branch office in st. Louis for the pur-
pose, and it will be in charge of Mr.
X. f. Nye. Mr.. Nye has been with
the company since its first mill start
ed as secretary and no one is more
thoroughly versed in all lines of the
business. His ability as a business
man and knowledge of the markets
will make the new office a great help
in placing the products of the company
in the hands of feeders.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nye have been resi-
dents of Lamar since the main offices
OF the company were moved here in
1918 and in that time have made a
host of friends in our city. Their re-
moval to St. Louis while a good pro-
motion for Mr.. Nye will be distinct
loss for Lamar and causes much re
gret among their friends.

NON-IRRIG GATED SECTION
NOW YIELDING CROP
Big Crop Now Being Harvested from
South Side.

Old timers who have considered the
grass tards in the non-irrigated sec
tions valuable only for grazing pur-
poses, can scarcely believe that the
stream Of golden grain that is pour
ing in has been produced on what was
termed the "Great American Desert"
a few years ago. A few sturdy farm
ers have settled in this section in
the past three years and by applying
successful dry land farming methods,
are making the growing of wheat a
big success even at the low prices now
being paid. Yields are reported 20 be
all the way from 10 10 25 bushels per
acre and land that cost the owners on
an average of probably SIS to $50 per
acre. With the aid of the latest i'm
proved machinery such as the harvest
'er-thresher. the crop is being put on
the market at a very low cost per
acre. With the aid of tractors the
ground is prepared while yet in good
condition and the wheat plant is given
a good start in the fall.
W. |. Sharpnack who has just fin
ished harvesting near Plains, is pre-
pairing $50 acres Of land for seeding
this fall Mr.. Sharpnack is a great
believer in summer following and plans
to prepare each year a good acreage
for this purpose.
George Turner is another farmer
who will plant an acreage this fall of
1900 acres. Ellis Oman who has re-
Gently finished harvesting 1000 acre
crop. will also plant like acreage

BEET DELIVERY SEASON EARLY
Orders Have Been Issued for De-
liyeries to Begin on Sep
tember sth.

The American Beet Sugar Co. has
issued orders for delivery of beets TO
begin in this territory on Thursday.
September Sth. This is one of the
earliest dates ever announced in the
valley for the opening of the cam
paign and is made possible by the fact
that the crop is about two weeks fur
ther advanced than is usual at this
season of the year. II will enable
practically all of the farmers, if ,he
fall is at all favorable, to get their
crop delivered without the trouble OF
siloing any part of it. 1t will also en-
able the company to handle their 10,
900 acres of contracts at the one fae
tory at Rocky Ford and give them q
chance to get out of this adverse sea-
son without p loss.
From the standpoint of both the
farmers and factories the past season
has been bad one for the sugar beet
industry, and it is being felt in cur
tailment of efforts in all lines of the
great industry. Many factories will
be closed in the state in spite oil the
fact that the crop is almost as large
as ever. The companies mostly oper-
ate several factories and will cut ex-
penses by making fewer and longer
runs.
The Industrial Co, which was or
ganized by selling stock to the farmers
of the state. built and operated one
factory at Fort Lupton in 1920, and
promised to build a new factory each
year for an indefinite period or as long
as the farmers would buy stock. II
will not run this year at all, and its
patrons are trying to sell their beets
to other factories. The affairs of the
company are in such state that they
will probably have to be liquidated in
the courts.

SERIOUS CRIME
South Country Aroused Over Sen
satiOnal Outrage.

The entire section of the county
south from Lamar has been highly
aroused the past week over one Of the
most dastardly and offensive crimes
in the history Of the county. 1t is
charged that on Tuesday of last week
the little five-year-old daughter IF Mr..
and Mrs. D. A. Pierce went over to
the home of Ed McIain to play and
not coming home at noon her mother
went after her, and on asking for her
Mrs. McI.ain called her up from the
cellar under the house. She was tax
en- home and on being questioned told
o story of being kept in the cellar all
day by McLain and assaulted.
A warrant was sworn out for Nc
Lain and Constable Geo. A. Watson
brought him to town last Thursday
and he was given preliminary hear
ing before Judge ]. 4. Kirkpatrick.
DR.. Casburn Of the south country and
several local physicians called in con-
sultation were witnesses for the pros
ccution and strong case was made
out. The defendant was bound over
to the district court IN the sum of
$500 bail. He succeeded in giving
bail and was released on Saturday.
Saturday morning the south eoun-
try heard of the fact of his giving
bond and the prairie country Just
seemed to empty q volume OF husky
big farmers into town and for while
it looked as though there would be
real doin's here. Both the sheriff and
undersheriff were out OF town at the
time and it was only quick work Ola
the part Of McLain's friends and Con-
stable Watson that succeeded in hiding
him out until he could be taken west
To q safer place. He is now lodged in
the La Junta Jail and will remain there
probably until court meets in Septem-
Der or perhaps the regular term in
November.
II ali reports are true the crime is
the most dastardly one ever committed
in this section and the people of the
neighborhood have the general sym
pathy Of all in their strong determine
ton to see that there shall be no mis-
carriage of justice. The little girls
condition has been reported as quite
serious.
McLain is past so years old.

Packing Plant for Lamar.

The Lions Club at its weekly meet
ing on Wednesday took up the ques-
ton of interesting Armour & Co. to
put in packing plant st Lamar. Mr..
Clof Simpson, former employee of
the Armour Co., and member of the
Lions Club, has been appointed as
chairman together with A. N. Parrish
and Charles Maxwell as committee
to take up the matter and furnish
Armour & Co. with the necessary
statistics, showing that the location
of such plant is feasible and good
financial investment. Those three
members of the Lions Club are giving
the matter their personal attention,
and Mr. Simpson is very enthusiastic
over the prospect.
During the last week the Lions Club
erected two large brick ovens at the
Tourists Park for the benefit of the
travelling tourists. Other improve
ments are in contemplation. Know
ing that the city is.having hard time
financially, the Lions Club paid the
expense of the ovens from out of its
own treasury without calling on the
municipality to shoulder it.

JUDGE HILLYER APPOINTED
VIII Be Legal Adviser for Prohibition
Law Enforcement in Colorao.

The appointment of Judge CRANKY
Hillyer rs legal adviser for the prohi-
bition law enforcement for the Colo
RADIO district has been announced. It
will necessitate Judge Hillyer having
an office in Denver in addition to his
Lamar office. There will be no change
in the legal firm of Hillyer & Kinkaid
as Judge Hillyer will still be able to
spend much of his time in his Lamar
office and attend all terms of court.
The recognized high legal standing
and ability of Judge Hillyer makes his
appointment one to be highly com
mended and his party services richly
deserve this reward. He is known
throughout the state as one of the
ablest attorneys and especially in the
criminal cases has he made record.
His ability will be especially effective
in the work for which he has been ap-
pointed.

Athletic Smoker.

The wrestling and boxing match CIV
en- last night at the Victory theatre
for the benefit Of the base ball team
was well patronized and netted good
sum for the support Of the team. The
four round boxing match between Ad-
olson Hall and NJ. F. Ward was hot
one and furnished much sport for the
audience. Hall easily won the first
two rounds and it looked as if he
might secure a Knockout. Ward re-
covered in the third and secured u
draw and won the fourth. This gave
Hall the fight on points. August Sepp,
niddleweight champion wrestler OF
Colorado, did not advertise himself as
a foot racer but had to prove himself
one as well as a wrestler in order to
save the forfeit in his first match.
His victim attempted to gain time by
sprinting and Sepp had to both catch
and throw him in the time limit. He
did the trick nicely and easily won the
rest Of his falls.

Ditch Loan Reopened.

The proposed loan of the Federal
Land Bank to the Marvel canal to re-
pair flood damages, which was recent
ly turned down by the bank, has been
again called up for investigation at the
request Of Congressman Hardy and
Senators Phipps and Nicholson. This
ditch in proportion to acreage was the
hardest hit Of all and should receive
the help as it is absolutely without
any debt, and the farms under it were
mostly badly damaged also and the
bank could render more needed aid in
this case than in most any instance Of
attempted flood help.

LAMAR WINS AGAIN
Eleven Straight, League Games and
Three Others Won by Lamar
Champions.
League Standing.

b The Lamar team went to Holly last
Sunday and as usual had no trouble
at all in winning the game. 1t has
become so much habit now that il
would be harder to lose in this section
of the valley than to win. The score
was one-sided in the extreme being
IL to 0.
The real test of the teams strength
is to come in the next two or three
weeks in games with the strong La
Junta and Trinidad teams. La Junta,
which has won the championship of
the Arkansas Valley league in straight
string victories just as Lamar has its
championship will play here on Thurs
day and a return game will be play
ed during the Rocky Ford fair. The
Lamar team goes to Trinidad next
Sunday August 81, and the Triniadd
team will be here for a return game on
Sunday, the 2sth.
The game Thursday will be the first
chance to test the relative strength
of the two valley champions and es-
pecially of the two undefeated pitchers,

May Take Salvation Army Holdings

w. W. Walker of Topeka, Kansas,
was in Holly Monday viewing the Sal
walton Army holdings north of Amity
for the purpose of determining if the
buildings could, if desired, be arrang-
ed for sanitarium purposes. The main
building which has been empty for
number of years, with a reasonable
amount of money spent could be ar
ranged to make an ideal hospital or
sanitarium. Mr.. Walker is interest
ed in Clarks Mineral Springs at Pu-
eblo and if the local proposition should
be taken up, would be handled in con-
function with the sanitarium at that
place.-Holly Chieftain.

THE ART EXHIBITION IN JERU-
SALEM.
Special to the American Jewish World
By DIR. Hugo Bergman.

April 2O-Last Thursday, the first
Art Exhibition in Jerusalem was for
mally opened by Sir Herbert Samuel.
The Pro-Jerusalen Society which in
augurated the exhibition. has restored
the wonderful David Tower, which
long stood dirty and neglected, and
Jerusalem has acquired for good, an
other beautiful building. The Tower
is approached by medieval bridge,
and is built into the wall of the city.
At the entrance one is greeted by a
piece of ancient sculpture, excavated
at Ascalon.
The exhibition might as we'll have
been called an exhibition of Jewish
art, for it is composed almost entirely
Of works by Jewish artists. 1t is as
we'll, however, that in this case the
Jews have not separated themselves,
so that if Arab art is revived in Pal
estine, this will be ground for mutual
understanding. At the present mo-
ment there are only two non-Jewish
exhibitors, and they are not Arabs:
The Armenian, A. Muradian, who
studied in Constantinople, is a mas
terly painter of dark interiors; we
may, indeed, justly consider the chief
feature of his work to be mysteri-
Gus darkness, bordering on the fune-
real. Then there is Tran Albina, an
Italian, the wife Of an Arab of high
position. She has become a member
of the Jewish Society Of Artists. She
still paints in the classic style, but

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD


very delicate miniature shows her
mastery in handling the coloring of
the human body. In contrast to this
classic artist, Of feeling we have the
Jewish painter, Snowman, who immi-
grated to Palestine from England;
he is fiat and expressionless: He un-
derstands technique (also the tech
nique of appealing to the public), but
there is no depth of treatment in any
of his subjects. He shows his three
types of the Jerusalem Jew-an ad-
mirable conception, but treated by
him in the style of Ghetto-Grure pic,
ture. And there is no place here for
sides there is passionate seeking to
appeal to what is deepest in the soul,
and this is achieved by the company
of artists grouped around the "Bezal-
ell" A great many objections have
been raised against Prof. Schatz, but
here one sees that he has really Gre
ated something; it is a beginning.
There hangs "Ben David" Bulgar-
ian Jew, in costly attire, the zap
plique" work different colored pieces
Of cloth stitched side by side) and
buffoonery producing very good eff
feet. The same technique is employed
by Sewy, the whole of whose work
has a general tone of melancholy
about it. He has secured very tone
full effects with this Applique" as for
instance in the reception of the Sab
bath by Yemenite women and the
dance Of the Bokharian Jewish wom-
en-.
In Melnikof we have an energetic
sculptor, who was commissioned to
carve bust of General Allenby for
Beersheba. He is exhibiting two
leads, the chief being one of Hillel,
which far from according with the
popular conception of him, is given
a grave and determined countenance.
The Bezalel woman student Rioka
Stark Avivi, has developed tech
nique all her own; with dolls artist
cally made out of rags, she manages
to produce singularly expressive work
on small scale, whether it is Jew
ish Westinghouse in Lithuania, or an
exceedingly comic group of an Arab
Sheikh with his "most beautiful wife.
Another female artist of the Bezalel
is Hanna Gedron, who exhibits a
painting with the surfaces we'll dis
tributed, and boat crossing the ferry
with the ferryman Schur, the teach
er of miniature painting at the Bezal-
ell has good portrait of himself and
an older picture of the well-known au-
thor, Eliaschoff. The most modern
tendencies in painting are shown in
Feldmann's work, at least one detects
something of the impressionist in his
pictures. Otherwise Palestinian art
is not yet either impressionist or fu-
turist.
The architectural sections has a
drawing Of the town-plan for the
Talpioth quarter, which is to be built
near Jerusalem (by Haufman), the
town-plan for Carmel, plans of the
building Association Kedem.
The badge of the Society of Jewish
Artists has deep meaning: the hand
of the priest of the Cohen raised in
blessing, with the additionally spread
fingers, holding pencil. A blessing
for art. This exhibition of Jewish ar
lists with their anxious desires for
the future gives us renewed courage.
Palestine is creating her own future.
