here this morning, Henry Peterson, who
pleaded guilty to the charge of forging
the name OF A. ID. Campbell TO check
for s2I50 was sentenced to a term of
seven years In the state prison.

QUESTION OF BETS.
Field Supt JOB Pingree of the Anal
gamated Sugar company, has issued a
circular letter to the farmers Of this
district urging them to sign up con-
tracts for the planting OF sugar beets
this season.
Mr. Pngree sets forth the advantages
to be obtained this year. and calls at
tention to the fact that last year was
the only one in eight years that the
farmers were not successful. He said
this failure was due to the lack OF
water and the intense heat, and the
white fly. The indications for the COM
ing year, he said, were exceptionally
good and he begged the farmers not to
be discouraged.
1t has been learned that a serious
condition confronts the company be-
cause OF the very few farmers OF this
district who have made contracts for
beets because their demand OF an in
crease of 25 cents per ton has not been
granted by the company. Mr. Pingree
said that the company must know with
In two weeks just how much Is to be
planted.
