SUGAR FACTORY AT WORK

The Holly Sugar Corporation
started operations this week. There
has been considerable delay on
account of the heavy rains. 1t
takes sunshine to form sugar In
beets and they cannot be dug TILL
the sunshine has done its work
The beets are testing about Ia
per cent on an acreage and the
quality is good.
Next year the Holly Sugar Co
will greatly increase its acreage
and more farmers will raise beets
Sugar beets are a paying crop
especially when other crops fail as
has been the case this year in the
region of the factory.

WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS

Perhaps never in the history of
this part of Colorado have wheat
fields looked so green and vigorous
rs now. A ride through the South
Side farms would be revelation
to any kicker or knockers there
may be left in the country.
The abundant rains of the sea-
sen have assured bumper crop
of wheat for next year and has put
the ground in condition for plant
ing spring crops The ground is
full of water no matter how dry
the spring may be. This favorable
condition along with the bOuntiful
yield in row crops that we have
enjoyed in the so-called dry lands
this year presages a boom in land
selling this Fall unprecedented in
the history OF this section. When
land in a single season yields an
income per acre in excess of the
price of the land per acre why
should not people jump at the
chance to buy. 1t is only lack OF
available capital that keeps the
people in this section from buying
it all for themselves. AS it is our
people will invest all they can in
this low priced but highly-produe-
tive land -

IMPORTANT MEETING TO.
NIGHT


Joseph Passonneau, state direct
or of markets, will speak in Holly
this evening, Thursday, at s o'clock
in the school auditorium on the
subject of the cooperative market
ing of farm products as a means
toward better prices. A special
meeting under the auspices of the
Commercial Club will be held prior
to the evening meeting for the
purpose of explaining to the busi-
ness men the financial status of
the cooperative organizations.
Mr. Passonneau opened three
day tour of Bent, Baca and Prowers
Counties in Lamar last night. The
financial benefits of modern bust
ness methods applied to the mar
keting of farm products was stres-
sed by the speaker, who drew his
illustrations from the success of
the tobacco, raisin and other COM
modify marketing organizations of
California.
cooperative marketing is merely
theapplication of modern business
methods to the marketing OF farm
stuff" he declared. You can't
apply the principles of collective
production to the business OF farm
ing, but you can apply the princi-
Piles of collective selling. Until
the farmer applies these principles
that are in every other line OF busi
ness, he is competing with other
business on an Improbable basis.
"At the present time the price
of American wheat is being set by
the foreign markets. When the
majority of this country's wheat is
sold through one agency at one
price, that agency will be able to
set an American price for wheat
in spite of what the foreign price
is. The surplus can be shipped
abroad and sold in competition
with wheat in other countries, but
the American price should be high
enough to make up any loss taken
In the wheat sold abroad
Plans for nationwide campaign
to obtain control OF the majority
OF Americas wheat supply Will be
considered in Denver on October
30. according to Mr.. Passonneau.
At that time members of the
American Wheat Growers Associa.
ted will meet with the recently ap-
pointed national committee TO
formulate plans for the drive
The campaign in Bent, Baca and
Prowers Counties will begin at
once under the auspices OF the
Colorado Wheat Growers associa-
ton, C. f. Booty, organization man
for the association announced,
The Colorado association now has
$500 members, and has paid this
season hundreds of thousands OF
dollars as advance on wheat being

THE BOYS BAND

The Boys Band organized by DR..
Leonard last July has had its ups
and downs since then because of
sickness and other hindrances but
is now wellorganized and making
good progress.
The Wsiiose aames appear
below have all purchased their re-
spective instruments and are each
taking regular Individual lessons
each week. Then on Thursday
evenings they meet at the Com
mercial Club rooms for mass prac-
tice. The boys are much interest
ed and show much enthusiasm.
This regular band practice Is a
fine thing for our boys from every
standpoint. Music is an art and
pursuit of 1t means an attainment
of ethical culture of great advan-
tage to our youth. The regular
practice Is splendid dicipline and
the success of the band as a whole
will mean financial gain as well.
The members are the sons OF our
permanent residents which means
much for the bands future useful
ness. Good order is required and
maintained in all their practice.
We congratulate DR. Leonard on
his commendable work.

DOUGLASS DAY 1928

Call to Afro-American by race or
ganization for another annual observ-
ance Of birth Of famous advocate OF
full liberty and equality for his race
and Of race making a fight for itself
Boston, -Fellow-Afro-Ameri-
cans:-At the start Of the New Year
your National Equal Rights League
extends cordial greetings to all. Stout
hearts and steady hands are the needs
of our American elements as we face
prejudice, prescription and persecution
for a race still strong in our native
land.
The fatal debacle on the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill, against which the
League fought till the last, has left us
without any measure of federal iegis-
lation, leaving the League to invite,
as the old year 1922 closed, officers Of
the anti-lynching organizations to con-
ference for unity of program against
oppression.
This, then, is time for consecra-
ton and inspiration. No such tre-
mendous wrongs as Cypress so large
a nominally free group can ever be
mitigated except by the common spirit
and concerted action of its own mil
lions from within out. History shows
that in all great races or successful

fummery, and mumbo-jumbo, and
handling much gullible money"
Declaring that the Garvey type Of
agitation is the counterblast to the
white supremacy" propaganda enun-
ciated by Lothrop Stoddard, DR.. Du
Bois warns that in both lie the seeds
, OF hate and of war.
Here is Garvey yelling to life, from
the black side, race consciousness
which leaps to meet Madison Grant
and Lothrop Stoddard and other wor-
shippers Of the great white race. 1t
is symptomatic and portentous. If
with a greater and more gifted and
efficient Garvey it sometimes blazes to
real fame, it means world war and
eternal hate and blood. 1t means the
setting of the world clock back thou
sand years. And yet the worlds Gar
veys are not solely to blame, but
rather every worshipper of race su-
periority and human inequality. On
the other hand, back Of all this turks
the quieter, more successful, more in
sistent, and hopeful fact. Races are
living together. They are buying and
selling, marrying and rearing children,
laughing and crying. They are fight
ing mobs and lynchers and those that
enslave and despise, and they have not
yet failed in that fight Their faith in
their ultimate and complete triumph
are these homes, this business block,
this church, duplicated a hundred
thousand times in a nation of twelve
million. Here, then, are the two fu-
ture paths, outlined with a certain
sullen dimness in the worlds blood
crimson twilight, and yet to be des-
cried easily by those with the seeing
hearts. Which path will America
choose?"

The bubble of Garveyism is burst in

movement represents a West Indian

The Garvey ventures have cost his
followers, chiefly from the British Is

Dubois writes:
1T is no ordinary tribute to Amer

the most singular proofs Of this is that
the latest support Of Garveyism is

SOCIETY TO SEE NEGRO
THEATER OPENING
Original Brand Of Jazz Dancing VIII
Serve to Amuse Elite on Jan. 20.

The society world will amuse itself
with new kind Of jazz very soon
or, rather, with the original brand of
jazz. The opening Of the Negro Folk
Theater, set for Monday evening, Jan
uary %, at the Avenue Theater, Indi-
ana avenue and Thirty-frst street, is
to be attended by scores Of the men
and women who have occupied boxes
at the opera during the current season.
The plays which will be given dur
ing the weeks following the opening
performances include jazz "Salome," ="
a jazz "Everyman' and dear Shake
spears Comedy of Errors" all jazzed
up with circus tent scene, a Negro
jazz band and many other features
to relieve the strain of the classic.
"A beautiful professional Negro ac-
tress, Miss Evelyn Preer, will take the
title role in "Salome," the opening per
torrance, which is to be an invita-
tional affair. Professional Negro &C
tors from New York and Chicago are
rehearsing for the repertory, one Of
the men having just arrived from Lon
don, where he played a Negro part
with Mrs. Patrick Campbell.
There's to Be lots Of fun in all this,
with no taint Of the highbrow or the
over-intelIectua1 about it-just won
derful color and music and laughter.
A group Of prominent white people
and Negroes are sponsoring the sea-
sons performances. Mrs. Arthur T.
Adds, is most interested, and Prof.
Frederick Starr lends his distinguished
name to the venture. Sherwood An
derson, the novelist, who is interested
wherever there is a promise Of gales
of fun, is also one of the sponsors.
