Which Shall Ii Be?

The hundreds of millions of dollars
which the American beet sugar in
dustry distributes among American
farmers and laborers for beets grown
and sugar produced under American
conditions in field and factory should
be taken into serious consideration
when considering a protective tariff
for this industry which will allow it
to compete on an equal basis with su-
gar produced by Cuban growers with
cheap foreign labor.
The American beet sugar industry
saves this nation from being left en-
tirely dependent on the foreign grow
ers and spectators for our sugar sup
plies.
1t is impossible for this industry to
exist in competition with sugar pro-
duced on an island a few miles from
the United States with the cheapest
kind of labor and shipped here in free
competition with our domestic product
All that the beet growers ask is a
tariff sufficient to equalize this des-
parity in cost of production and allow
them an even break for the business
with American consumers.
One or two things must take place
if our sugar tariff fails to give Ameri-
can farmers and beet sugar manu-
facturers this protection. Either the
cost of labor in American beet fields
and sugar factories must be reduced
in proportion to the Cuban wages or
the American beet sugar industry will
go out of existence.
This fact was recognized in the pas
sage of the emergency tariff act which
increased the duty on sugar from 81 90
to S1.6O hundred pounds and the ex-
tension Of this act as a permanent
policy is essential if domestic sugar
industry continues in this nation.

Y. NJ. b. A. MEETING
Vote of the Three Organizations
Shows What the Majority Feels
Should Be DOne-But
Will 1t?

The meeting at the Elks Club last
NJ. b. A. to announce the result of n
canvass of the business men of the
city on the question of the four ques-
tons that Lamar should unite upon
as its progressive program for the
year, was well attended. The speak
err of tho evening Prof. Petersen of
the University of Colorado gave fine
talk on the progressive and up-to- date
city and the duties of its citizens.
The Y. NJ. b. AS, Rotary and Lions
Clubs had all sent out quest;onnaries
asking for replies as to what should
constitute Lamar's Big Four campaign
for the year 1922. There were many
answers but the totals made four ques-
tions stand out so boldly that there
is not possible room for doubt as to
the wishes of our citizens. Paving
the business section received seventy
five per cent of the vote, and better
lights for Main street and city was n
close second. A new hospital received
nearly half the votes and county
fair was close up to it. Then follow
ed long list of propositions that had
varied votes but all so small that they
could not possibly be placed in any
but the also-ran class.
When the proposition was first
agreed upon it was generally under
stood that unanimity of support would
be given the four propositions that the
popular vote favored. However, the
will of the majority was no more than
announced until opposition sprang up
and il is now evident that harmony
of action is not possible under any
circumstances. The Register believes
that four more needed end worthy
propositions could not possibly have
been named and in this as in all other
public affairs cheerfully accepts the
will of the majority and is ready to
do its share to help in their promo
ton.
The Y. NJ. b. As. decided to launch
.nother drive for funds similar to the
one of last year, and will ask the bust
ness men to duplicate their subscrip-
tions of that date. The money raised
last year has been used to promote
many new things for the benefit of
our city, one alone of which-:he pro-
curing or the JetcWood wholesale
grocery house-is more than worth to
Iam-r all that was raised for the
year. The association is actively at
work to promote the best interests of
our city and should meet a hearty
response from the business men.

IRRIG ALTON CASE TO COME UP
SOON-MANY POINTS INVOLVED

An irrigation suit which has been
pending since 1918 in the district court
will be set for hearing by Judge
Trimble on Saturday. The suit was
brought by the Holbrook Canal COM
pany, the Fort Lyon Canal company
and the Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet
and Irrigation company against the
Twin Lakes Irrigation company.
Some new points in irrigation liti-
cation are at issue in the suit and for
this reason it is being watched with
interest by attorneys and irrigation
companies. NJ. G. Saunders and J. H.
Voorhees, represent the Twin Lakes
company and the plaintiffs are repre-
scented by Fred Sabin of La Junta.
The plaintiffs charge that in 1917
the Twin Lakes company stored water
to which it was not entitled under its
rights. No release of this water was
asked in 1917 but demand was made
during the irrigation season of 1918
for the water alleged to be improper
ly stored. The Twin Lakes is said to
have refused to release the water on
the ground that it should have been
demanded during the same irrigation
season in which it was stored.
Another feature of the case is in
volved thru the storage of water in
Clear Lake reservoir near Granite.
The plaintiffs charge that the Clear
Lake thru construction of its dam was
not able to let pass down the river
water which belonged to the plaintiffs.
Demand was made on Twin Lakes as
holder of the next priority to the
Cleak Lakes to open its gates and let
water pass. Twin Lakes refused
claiming that the Clear Lakes stor-
age should be released before demand
was made on Twin Lakes. The plain
tiffs contended that they had the right
under their priority to all water that
could pass and if it was impossible
for Clear Lakes to release the water
then Twin Lakes should cease storing.
Still third question involved con-
Germs the right of water right hold
er higher up on the river to store
from local rains or melting SHOWS be-
fore all prior rights father down the
river are satisfied. 1t is charged that
on June Is, 1917, Twin Lakes stored
water that would have reached bitches
of plaintiff companies few days later
if it had been allowed to pass and
that this water stored on June 18 was
demanded of Twin Lakes on June %
and that the demand was refused.
The contention of the Twin Lakes
company is that water available high
er up the river as flood storage might
not be available for flood storage on
storage water rights lower down the
river for the reason that it would be-
come underflow, be lost to some ex-
tent thru evaporation and seepage
and not appear as flood in the lower
portions of the river channel.
The case has had numerous hear
ings on demurrers and motions dur
ing the past three years. Saturday it
is expected to be set for hearing on
its merits.-Pueblo Star-Journal.

OYSTERS KILLED IN
 LOTS 0F MILLIONS
But Two Out of That Amount
 Usually Reach Opener

London, Oct. 6.-So numerous and rapacious are the enemies at large in the sea of the young oyster, that the British Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries estimates that only two out of 100000 young oysters ever reach the knife of the oyster opener The remainder of the million fall vic- tim to the attacks of their foes.
 It is never the oysters fault if oysters are scarce. The oyster is a generous provider. It makes no fuss over producing million at a birth. That sort of thing is just all In the days work with the oyster. But the enemies of the oyster never take a day of. They are the hosts that prey on .oyster fry" as 1t is called by oyster cultivators.
 Water Is Sterilized.
 The heavy percentage of loss be- tween birth and maturity moved the ministry to take steps of protection On the coast of Wales. at Conway it established an experimental station where the scientist in charge, Dr. Dodgson, is said to have succeeded a number of times In Keeping alive and bringing to maturity 100000 oysters out of every million born. His suc- cess was due mainly to the fact that he sterilized the water in which the oysters bred.
 "The enemies of the young oysters" Dr. Dodgson explains. "are numerous, but mostly small and by sterilizing A1- in to breed, all the enemies of the young are killed off and the young are then free to attach themselves to suitable surface.
 "The experiments have been suc- cessful for four years In succession and if they prove successful on larger scale, English oyster lovers are looking forward to a more abundant and cheaper supply of the native pro- duct"

that will establish good music as an every day need
 Tt is necessary for people to have cupation," said Mir. Eastman In com menting upon the enterprise T be- lieve that working hours are going to be shortened In order that people may live fuller and happier lives. What ia going to be done with the leisure l thus obtained2 l am not at all of the opinion that people have been ground down by industry. Leisure Is unfrnlt- full because we do not know how to use it productively, Do not imagine from what l say that I am a reform er-far from that I am interested In music personally, and I am led thereby to want to share my pleasure with others.
 For many years l have been con- nected with musical organizations Tn Rochester. have come to see that what we need Is a body of trained listeners quite as much as body Of trained performers. Without appre- ciation, without the presence of n large body of people who understand music and who get joy out of it, any attempt to develop the musical re- sources of any city is doomed to failure Because in Rochester we realize this, we have undertaken q scheme for building musical capacity on a large scale from childhood.
 Music Essential.
 T do not imagine that music is going to occupy all of the leisure in- terests of people. I know that my own interests are varied. l am fond of athletics. All sorts of sports, rec reations and diversions must be de- veloped If we are to make full use of our leisure. In this field certainly it is not case of fighting old wrongs but of creating something entirely new. Interests must be built up If we are to get the happiest use of leisure. Incidentally, in the pursuance of this ideal I should like to see Rochester become a great musical center, know throughout the entire world"
 Entrance to the theater is by the way of a commodlous lobby finished in rich marble and bronze. The mas sive auditorium abounds in exquisite marbles sculptural reliefs and rich hangings The decorative scheme Is Italian renaissance. Venetian in treat ment. .-....
 When the playhouse opens 1t will mark the end of motion picture pres entation in the dark, according to the experts associated with its construc ton. Through the lighting system, the hazard of a gloomy auditorium will be eliminated. The theater will be sufficiently we'll illuminated so that patrons may read without dis comfort and at the same time view the film without any visionary effort.
 The theater will serve also as medium of expression for the hun dreds of pupils of the Eastman school of music.

Chinese Hold Meetings and Ask. for Rain, Continued Drouths Having Aroused Fears in Honan.

Chicago, Oct. 6--Ten thousand | Christian Chinese troops and thous-
 ands of other Chinese, both Christian
 and non-Christian, gathered in Honan | province in monster open-air prayer meeting for rain, according to i representatives of the Methodist Epis- copal church, working in China. Continued droughts during the spring and early summer in Honan province aroused fears among the Chinese people of return of famine and whole villages went on pilgrim ages to the temple of the rain god in
 Yu Tao He valley to pray for rain. Major General Feng Yu Hsiang,
 member of the Asbury Methodist
 Episcopal church of Peking and com mander of the Eleventh division of the Chinese army, sent out an invita-
 tion to all Christians to meet with his troops in prayer for rain. < A grand review of the Eleventh di-
