LoVELANo BEET GROWERS.
Association Withdrsws Its Opposition
to Signing Contracts.

Denver.-A special 10 the Denver
Republican Gays: The difference be-
tween the sugar companies and the
beet growers have been harmonized
and the contracts for this years crops
are being rapidly signed. Individual
farmers will refuse to raise beets un-
der contract to silo twenty-five per
cent of them, but the majority are
willing to try this experiment for one
year at least.
1t is now practically certain that
nearly as large crop as usual will be
raised this year. The local executive
committee of the Beet Growers Asso-
citation, authorized to act for the asso-
citation met Tuesday and withdrew it's
opposition to signing the contract Of
Tered by the sugar company in the
following resolutions:
In order to effect harmony and CO.
operate with the sugar company, and
20 renew the former good feeling that
existed in tho past six years. this com
mittee would recommend the laying
aside of all past differences and cheer
fully sign the contract as given for
One year, 1t being expressly under.
stood, however, that this concession
on the part Of the growers is not to be
regarded as an entering wedge for fur.
ther concessions in future years for
the reduction in the price paid for
beets."
This action Of the committee meets
with general approval, as it removes
the danger Of the closing of the factory
for the coming season 1t has demon
strated spirit of fairness on the part
OF the growers, who are willing to Law
aside their differences, cooperate with
the company for the common good and
at least try the experiment for one
year 1t has also put the farmers in a
better position to ask for favorable
terms another year. The tension
caused by the uncertain outlook dur
ing the past few weeks had come to he
felt in business circles and the fact
that the matter has been definitely
settled causes general satisfaction.
Tuesday was final pay day atIthe
sugar factory, and $50 men walked out
to seek other employment until the
factory starts next October. Only
about fifty Of the 600 employees now
remain to clean up and make repairs.
The pay roll of the factory during the
past -FOUR and a half months has
amounted to more than 5000 900. This
added to the sum paid out for beets'
brings the total up to the handsome
ngure of $1,000.000.

The Problem of a Home

Tothe women who work and who do not live at home
the question of how to live is never-endlng problem
1t is an open question. There seems no solution OF
1t. The boarding house is not solution. lhere
never was a man, woman, or child who liked to live
in a boarding house The hotel is not solution.
1t gives more comfort than the boarding house, but 1t
costs and it racks we'll an atmosphere OF per
manenCy which is necessary to the making OF nome
To live in some ones else family is worst OF all And
the last resort is usually apartment OF ones own
Then the real trouble begins and for the simple reason
that no person can be home maker and bread winner
at the same time. That is what the woman tries to
do when she sets up her establishment even though
if be onlv tinv apartment while she is working Tor
the wberewthal for her daily bread. So it comes
back to the original statement There IS no solution
of the problem. The woman who IS bread winner
must either live in her childhoods home or she
must be homeless. The woman who goes dehbefateiy
out into the world to make career for herself should
consider this If she is forced out of the home nest by
grinding necessity she can only make the best OF things
Now the Lady Cab Driver
All Paris is agitated over the fact that two women
have recently taken to driving cabs. One OF them
was the wife of cabby who taught her to drive, and
after his death she decided that the simplest way OF
making living was to continue his business Nat
was simple enough The French woman OF the
working class frequently understands her husbands
business we'll enough to carry it on alone and although
this was the first one drive cab, she did not there
fore make of herself nine days wonder. Newspapers
commented on it more avenue OF industry open
to women and speculated upon the possible advantages

in the carriage tracks of the cab drivers wife came

ing the nobility of France. And all because she was
trying to find way to pay her bills and live honestly.
For She needed the money she would collect from her
fares. That was the pity of it. If woman does not
need money she may do what she Likes and PeoPe
call fad But if it is necessity, then 1t Is alS9lace
more or less the New World as well. If woman makes
her living selling milk, she is cold Milk Annie or some
thing like that If she has need of the dollars her
model dairy brings her, she is clever and ambitious

course makes him better citizen. 1t is IN the cities,
and not in the country towns that labor troubles arise
The best workman is the man who IS fixture IN his
community.
Protect Local Industries
II the theory OF protection be right land the civilized
nations seem to have accepted that view OF it, then 1t IS
the duty of every citizen to protect the trade and indus
tries of his local town. And it can be demonstrated
that it paws good dividends in dollars and cents The
man Tor woman who fails to be loyal to home lnstltu-
tons be they retail business industries, IS
to use homely phrase, cutting off his nose to spite
his face"
1t pays to protect a home industry. An example
Two years ago when the output of coal in Illinois so
far exceeded the demand that the price fell to eighty
cents ton at the mne and laid down at almost any
point of the state for ST 50 ton, small mine IN town
on the edge of the coal belt found impossible to meet
the competition because the cost of mining this partc
uar coal vein greater than the price for which coal
was laid down by outside mines at the consumer S
door. The town has number of industries that use
coal Under ordinary conditions, the output OF the
mine was absorbed by the local concerns. Now htty
cents per ton could be saved by buying coal in the open
market But to do this meant the closing of the mine,
and throwing fifty with families out of employment
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1907-01-10

The business of the town met and resolved to buy
their coal at home pay the higher price, and keep the
mine running They might have saved few dollars,
but they would have lost twice that amount in the end
To sustain their home industry was simply an evidence
of good horse applied ordinary business condi-
tons.
The Center of Industry
The center of population of the United States has
been moving steadily west until it has reached the lon
gitude of Chicago But the center OF the industrial de
velopment still remains near Pttsburg, Pa. tiscomlng
west but slowly Moreover, it is moving IN accordance
with financial interests rather than along the lines OF
natural development The greatest iron plant OF the
world is now being established at Gary near Chicago
Will it be benefit to the people of the West to have the
center of the iron industry transferred from Psburg to
Gary at the foot of Lake Michigan?
Why is the iron trust locating this immense plant
here Chicago the transportation center OF the west
True both the coal and the iron must be shipped
to Gary Here at the foot of Lake Michigan among
the sand dunes there is COAL water power no raw
material but there is transportation and it is within
half-hour of great population center 10 him
