HONG KONG KOLUM THANKSGIVING AS IT MIGHT BE IF we had i siig.iv factory we certainly would have some thing substantial to be thankful for this Thanksgiving time that is, to judge by the experiences of other com munities Half a million dollars distributed in the valley through the farmers would certainly be something to be thankful for and that is what is happening in the beet sugar dis tricts. Here is what happened in Ogdon, Utah, the other da'. Bedford might have the same story another year if the farmers all realized their oppertunity: OODH.V, Utah, Xov. 1C. Any financial depression that may hnvc existed In Osden won dealt a knockout blow today when nearly $400,000 was put Into circulation by reason of payments for stiRar beets and the monthly pay roll of tho Southern Pacific shopmen. It wns estimated this evening that tlio AmalBamated Suj;ar company had distributed checks aggregating moro than $200,000 nnd the shops' pay roll was almost equal to this mnount. Including the amount paid out today and tho checks to bo distributed within tho next few days, the sugar company will hnvo paid out about $340,000 for beets delivered prior to Xovembor 1.

Tho business section of Longmont have tho appoaranco of n Saturday before Christmas and tho banks gave n com mondablo Imitation of a Chicago wheat pit In panic times, nil owing to the fact that tho farmers havo received their first checks for tho season's beet crop a snug llltlo sum of something like $700,000, being for that portion of tho crop delivered before Nov. 1. Thero was not n merchant In town hut what, directly or indirectly, got a clianco to hnndlo homo of that $700,000. Hills thnt had been run during tho season weru settled, new goods woro purchased nnd new luxuries in dulged In. Tho laborers who havo cared for tho crop during the season, wcro on hnnd to recolvo their last pay. It Is estlmntcd thnt tho money to ho expended by tho sugar company next month, will total upwards of $.100,000. Talent could in 191') bo in the same class with Spanish Fork if the fanners in the northern end of the valley would co-operate as they sheuld: SPANISH FORKS. Utnh..

Ish Fork stores, as tho Utnh-Idaho Sugar company distributed among the farmors of this vicinity npproxlmntoly $200,000 as tho first payment for tho 1915 crop of beets. Tho fnnnora wero fortunate In getting tho bulk of tholr crop In boforo tho storm and in most localities tho beets wero un- usually good. Phoenix might be enjoying in future years similar scenes io those described atLohi, Utah, inthe following, if its farmers put all their available acreage into sugar beets: MCI 1 1, Utah, Nov. II.

These dispatches cover only a small strip of territory but the same story is repeated from every beet sugar district. Alcdford business men have done all that can be done to secure the acreage. They havo proved their good faith in the enterprise by subscribing $20,000 for a company to lease laud and conduct operationsonly to find in many instances that fanners will neither sign themselves nor lease their land, save at outrageously exorbitant prices. The late ot the factory Jiangs m the halaiice it is up lo the iarmers whether or not prosperity like that de scribed elsewheie blesses the valley another Thanksgiving.

THE ROMANCE GONE npllE world can be thankful to the kaiser for one thine; fjr stripping war of its romance, for ripping off tlio brass buttons, lor tearing ott the tinsel and glamor, lie has exhumed the whited skeleton from the splendor of its whited sepulchre and dangled it before the world. Herman efficiency as applied to war leaves no detail of destruction to the imagination, overlooks no system of slaughter, omits no item of terrorism. .It reveals war, as it is, an atavism of barbarism. Even Roman thoroughness failed to rob war of its glamor. The feudal ages clothed it with the romance of chivalry. The formality and etiquette of the succeeding century dignified it. The French revolution and Napoleon glorified it. The kaiser alone, sinco Aftilla the Hun de vastated hurope a thousand years ago, has, by resorting to all the methods of human annihilation evolved since Cain slew Abel, brought the world to a full realization of what war really means. Written history is largely a story of human conflicts, in which are recorded the triumphs the triumphant are iirTnccml iiwl i lik v.ii iii m id iitd fmwrAf i mi 'Plii i i to ! tayajtj. m hiivi tiv unninniM iwiimi iii inv ir im i n iv pieled, the del eat overlooked. Tile story ot the strong is magnified the laic ot tlie weak unrelated. War is a business the business of murder and ruin. And it has been as thoroughly organized as any of our great industries. The kaiser has created a murder trust and is as ruthless in enforcing the propaganda as any of our commercial trusts. And his methods must be copied by the rival trust to secure an even break. Yes, war litis lost its romance. Artillerymen never see the masses of humanity they arc destroying. Infantrymen shoot from covered trenches against unseen enemies.' Vic tory is decided by preponderance of munitions. The most guns, the most powder and shells, the most human fodder, drives back, but fails to capture the enemy. The reat victorv is a thing of the past. Individuals have been re placed by masses all are units in great machines directed mechanically from unseen sources. They stiil reward unusual savagery with an iron cross hoping thereby to shut out from public view the millions of wooden ertuws oer the million r human corpses, ltiit the effort is a pitiable failure. The ghosU nf the dead will not down. 'I I'e wooden roes remain, the u..u ar' lost. Something I letter To tho Ktllter: When tho JlcdynskI plan was sub mitted to tho voters of Medford at tho special election tho voters were entreated to vote It down by tho op position, claiming that something better would bo presented nt tho next general election In Jnnunry. Now that the bond imeasura was voted down by n small majority wo novor hear n word of a something hotter mensure to bo placed on tho ballot at tho January election, and wo bo llovo with many,others of our follow citizens thnt nooning better was ever Intended to bo placed on tho ballot at tho next election, and many wl-c voted against tho bond Issue, hnvo ox pressed thomselves ns having been deceived and had they known what they now know that they would havo voted for the bond Ibbho. Thoy feel thnt they have been lied to and It thoy had a chnnco ngaln they would vote for the bond issue; so if no bet ter plan shows up soon I am In favor of placing tho bonding plnn on tho ballot at tho coming election. A change of a few votofl would earn It. The time Is fast pressing, tho sit uation Is tense and no nimsuro Ot relief Is being presented for tho re lief for those whoso homos nro In Jeopardy nnd whoso occupants nro ut terly unable to pay off an encum brance unjustly incurred for public Improvements which belong to tho city nt largo to pay. As tlmo Is growing short I suggest thnt steps be taken Immediately to again submit to tho people tho only practical plan ever prosontod for tho rollof of a larno number of our un justly oppressed fellow citizens. I offer no apologv for again bringing up a measure that was supposed to bo effectually put to sleep. Justlco and right never ro forever put to "loop. ,T S UOWAim.
