DO we want it? That will be the
question. Can we take care OF the
beet proposition is another question!
The CHIEF is in favor OF doing every
thing possible to secure the enterprise
from the fact that IL we secure t.fis fac.
tory others will follow. and we all know
that the city Of Red Cloud needs the
factory and all others that will locate
here. We are in the midst Of q fine beet
raising country and the progpectOrs

be as much to their interest as il is to
ours to get and give the best PROPOSE
tions that we can ecure The factory
would be Of i~ncalculable benefit to this
city and county, furnishing az it would
a fine home market for the best raising
product and the most prolific money get
ter that we have ever attempted to pro-
duce in Webster county. This fact has
been easily proven by Anthony Sohaefer,
who raised 200 tons Of beets in 1s0amak.

amount Of money can be cleared on 80

Mr.. Schaefer had to pay freight to Nor

we ought to work for the factory. In
