SAN LUIS VALLEY GETS BUSY

A unique plan for the building of a
prosperous agricultural section has
been launched in the San Luis Valley
Of Southern Colorado. Assisted by the
Holstein-Friesian Association of
America the San Luis Valley Dairy
association was formed during the
past winter to include the business
men and farmers OF the Valley. Max
Grandy has been employed to conduct
the work. His February report indi-
Gates the wisdom Of the idea and out
lines in detail the work that is to be
undertaken.
A survey was started at the outset
to ascertain the needs OF the farmers
Arrangements have been made to or
ganize local branches OF the new as
sociation for the purpose OF making a
start on definite program OF work
Following are a few OF the more i'm
portant activities to be followed, some
of which are already under way: for
nation and conduct OF bull and COW
testing associations and purebred sire
campaigns, tuberculosis control, perm
anent pastures, herd management,
dairy shows and the establishment of
demonstration farm in each of the
many communities.
The San Luis Valley Is a beautiful
irrigation valley situated 1900 feet
above sea level and located about 100
miles south OF Denver The area of
this valley Is about that OF Massa-
chusetts. AS 1t is surrounded by
ranges OF mountains on all sides there
is formed an inland empire which Is
ideal for dairying because OF it's favor
able climate, excellent artesian water
and the abundance OF numerous crops
that may be grown. The program OF
the new dairy association is organized
for five years OF intensive work.

WOMEN"
SCORES GREAT SUCCESS

One of the best photoplays OF the
season yet presented on the screen
OF the Colonial theatre is Trifling
Women" the Rex Ingram production
| for Metro which was seen for the first
time Yesterday. The remarkable young
director, whose recent photoplays have
lifted him to the front ranks of picture
producers, has in his latest work main
tanned the high standard Of his earlier
photoplays. "Trifling Women" should
enjoy widespread success wherever 1t
is shown.
The story OF "Trifling Women" was
written and adapted by Mr.. Ingram
himself 1t concerns mysteriously
fascinating siren, crystal gazer-
Zareda by name-who lures men on by
her beauty. Father and son enter
competition for her favors, and friends
love. An Illicit affair between the
woman and her young suitor is
brought to a terrible end when her
husband discovers them in the en-
brace of each other. They are impris-
oned in the Sorcerers Tower, a weird
room to which they have been led by
vision which Zareda saw. 1t is here,
too, that the wronged husband meets
his end, when the desire for revenge
has been satisfied.
Players seen in earlier Ingram
photoplays have the leading roles in
stFr,.-s 4 Wy
ara La Mari Ramon NOvarro and Ed
ward Connolly, all in "The Prisoner Of
zenda," have important parts in this
picture others are Pomeroy Cannon,
Hughie Mack and Gene Pouyet.
"Trifling Women" was photographed
by John F. Seitz. The production
manager was Starrett Ford.

finally become the advisers Of the
most reactionary section of the Brit

this they serve the benefciaries Of

"NOrnl-OiL-cy"
By SCOTT NEARING
Federated Press Staff Writer)

The oil expose is not scandal in
any accurate sense. 1t is a lesson in
realism. Senators Lenroot and Walsh
have merely exposed to public view
the ordinarily accepted transactions
between business men and public Off
Gals, in the course of which bust
ness men exploit American resources
and plumber the American people.
Mr.. Daugherty does not regard the
matter as scandalous. Mr.. Coolidge
has not, in any one of his public ut
terances, displayed the least indigna-
ton or ever surprise. Men high up
in American public life are evident
ly quite accustomed to this kind Of
thing, and are annoyed-not scan
dalized-when it comes to light.
Read Imperial Washington Or. +.
Pettigrew); turn the pages of Ida
Tarbell's History of the Standard Oil
Co.; run over the works which Ray
Stannard Baker, Lincoln Steffens
and Charles Edward Russell turned
out in the undertaking days that pre-
coded the war, and you will find this
story repeated again and again, in
chapter after chapter of American
business history.
Nor is it homogeneous that these
very men were the arch patriots of
the war days. The war, like Teapot
Dome, was a business proposition.
The same men who profteered be-
fore and during the war have been
profteering since the war, and will
continue to profteer so long as the
profiteering system remains.
It may be difficult to explain to
those patriots who fought and bled
in the war why a few men should
get away with millions, and this will
prove particularly embarrassing dur
ing the coming months in audiences
of bankrupt farmers and workers on
part time. But with the press -four
ishing, the movies in full swing and
the radio broadcasting, it win be pos
sible to persuade the American mass
es to forget even tho they cannot
forgive.
