Association Unite in
Splendid Demonstration
Was WELL ATTENDED

The Fathers and Sons banquet given
at the auditorium of the Junior High
school "Wednesday evening under the
joint auspices of the Lions club and
the Parent Teachers association was a
success in every respect, the attend
ance and interest being beyond the
average and the spirit of cooperation
and good fellowship between the men
and the boys proving a delightful expe-
rience for both classes.
The attendance was so much better
than the committee had anticipated
that at the last minute it was neces-
sary to provide extra tables, but the
committee was equal to the occasion
and no delay resulted, and although
140 people were served at one time,
thanks to the convenient arrangement
of the building and the methodical
planning on the part of the good la
dies, the service was splendid and the
ladies had gathered up the fragments
and were ready to depart for their
homes at an early hour. The proceeds
from the supper are to go into the IL

The committee on entertainment had
prepared the following program which

themselves to other lines of endeavor.

WAGNER WINS on
SALE CONTRACT

In the district court last Friday
jury returned verdict for the plain
tiff in the action of VIM. Wagner
versus A. D. Shearer, this being an
action for recision of contract on a
purchase by Wagner of ranch from
Shearer, the plaintiff claiming misrep-
resentation and fraud.
Wagner claimed be bought the ranch
on Shearer's representation that there
were so to 55 acres of cultivated land,
while the defendant denied that and
said he told Wagner the land would
show for itself and Wagner could take
it or leave it alone as he saw fit.
Wagner farmed the place for year
and then decided that it contained less
land than was represented by Shearer,
and had the land measured by sur
veyor who found it to contain 27.59
acres. He then demanded his money
back and recision of the contract,
and the jury returned verdict in ac-
cordance with his petition. Inasmuch
as Wagner had paid $4,000 on the pur'
chase contract and $3.50 in taxes, the
verdict is in the nature of n judg
ment for that amount.
Taylor and Noonan asked for five
days in which to file n motion for q
new trial, but this will be resisted by

HARDWICK BRIDGE
GOES INTO RIVER

A message reached the sheriff's Of
flee Sunday morning to the effect that
.he Hardwick bridge across the Roar
ing Fork river five miles south of Glen
wood had collapsed under heavy load
of cattle and had fallen into the river,
some of the cattle being killed and
others injured.
The sheriff was soon on the scene
with some local butchers and two of
the animals were killed and dressed,
and four others that could not be re-
covered or that were badly mangled
were put out of their misery.
The collapse came when a number of
cattle belonging to N. M. Hubbard Of
the Bar Forks ranch were being driven
across it in too great numbers for safe
tv, starting vibration, and the
bridge gave way under the swaying
motion started by the cattle, and the
entire structure left the piers and top
pied into the river, carrying n few OF
the cattle with it.
The county commissioners claim that
they are in no manner liable, but that
the blame rests with those in charge
of the cattle who permitted too many
cattle on the bridge at time
The bridge is completely ruined ,ex'
cept the abutments, and new struc'
ture will be required. It has been Of
great value to the ranchmen Of the
west side Of the river, who will be

During the past few years, and es- =,
recially since the beginning, and more
especially since the close of the great |
woild war, there has been much COM
pla mt because of the great spread be-
tween the prices on commodities re-
ceived by the producer and those paid
by the consumer. In other words there
the public has termed the unwarranted
profits exacted by the middleman or
dealer
Much of this criticism has been JUS
titled, but no doubt much of it has
heen based on a misunderstanding Of
fact and failure to take into consid
Grafton the element of cost which is
Necessary in the conduct of the or
d-nary commercial enterprise. But
there is feeling that this matter of
aaded cost has been greatly exagger
ated, and that much Of the present
ranted at all. 1t is also well known
that many producers, and especially
the farmers, have operated during the
past few years without profit or else
at a heavy loss.
1t was with a view to Investigating
the cause of these abnormal conditions
and if possible finding a remedy for
the same that Senator Callen of this
county the past week united with Sen
ator Saunders in the introduction in
the state senate of senate joint reso-
luton No. 4, which is as follows:
Whereas, There is reason to believe
that there is gross inequality between
the amount received by the producer,
and that paid by the consumer for
articles of common consumption and
the ordinary necessities of life, that
formerly u16er the law of supply and
demand, reached the consr .ner at a
fair and reasonable price, and that
many of such articles have become the
subject of monopoly, and unlawful
combinations in restraint of trade,
through organizations and combina-
tons bctwcnn middlemen and others;
Whereas, 1t is believed, that in many
instances the amount paid by the con-
sumer for such articles is exorbitant
and far in excess of a reasonable prof
it, and that in order to secure and
maintain high prices food products have
been destroyed;
Whereas, 1t is believed that rents in
various towns and cities Of this state
are far greater than n fair return
upon the money invested;
Whereas, 1t is believed that there is
an urgent demand for thorough and
careful investigation of all such mat
tiers and things, including, especially
current prices, the cost of production
the amount received by the producer
and the amonnt paid by the consumer
for the common necessities of life
and the leaSOnaDleness, OF uHreusoha
ablcness or rents; that waste and prof
iteering be eliminated and prevented
and that the necessities of life ma,
be obtained at fair price; and tha
some practicable and effective remed,
h, provided to secure substantial ant
beneficial results;
Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved, b.

eral Assembly of the State Of Colorado

ALL ABOUT MUSIC

WHAT ABOUT THIS
To the Editor:

To the Edltof:
We ere in receipt of a clipping Of q
statement said to have been published
in the Journal OF Dallas, Texas, read
ing as follows:
"The insurance business pays out
SJ.JOO.00O in salaries. There are
sions in Dallas annually. There are
5000 people connected with the busi-
ness in Dallas"
This is an indication of what it is
worth TO city TO have the head
quarters of insurance companies.
Until about twenty years ago most
of the Headquarters of insurance com
panies in Texas were either in Gal
weston or Austin. There had been
established. however. one very large
general agency in Dallas. The bust
ness men of Dallas and the section
around Dallas did so much 10 especi-
ally helm and encourage that business
that others sooh thought it wise TO
also move their headquarters to Dali
las. The wide-awake business men of
that city began more and more TO
realize how valuable these insurance
Headquarters were to the city and in
duced one concern after another to
move their headquarters to Dallas.
We have. on several Ocasions. pub
1ished a statement that over three mil
lion dollars were spent annually in
Dallas by insurance companies and
we know what we ere talking about,
but. of course. we had to be very con-
sentative in order TO be able to prove
our statements if necessary.
We have repeatedly tried to impress
San Antonio people with the fact that
our companies are the only ones MAX
ing headquarters in San Antonio for
Texas and that we sDend about one
hundred thousand dollars year in
this city, of the same kind of money
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-10-21

which other insurance companies
spend in Dallas.
We believe that it is TO the in
terest of San Antonio business men
TO patronize the companies which
make their state headquarters here,
not only just TO benefit those COM
panies or their representatives, but
because it might induce other COM
panies TO move here. The reason for
saying this is that, of course. with
more than 80 per cent of all the COM
panies making their headquarters in
dallas. the business there is natur-
ally divided somewhat. 1t might be
that some of the companies who are
not getting a great share of the BAL
las business might believe it better
to move to San Antonio, if that city
showed the spirit of wanting to build
up the companies which spent their
money there.
