Charges.

The father Of Bruce Lake came to
this city last night from Des Moines
and immediately went to the home OF
Jacob Frank at 1924 High street.
Captain Lake did not resigter at a
hotel because OF his desire to avoid
undue publicity. This morning he
conferred with his sons attorney, w.
g. Blood, and 1t was stated that he
would visit his son in the county jail
this afternoon.
Captain Lake is apparently in
excellent health at seventy three, and
has been a noted lawyer. While not
condon1ng any criminal act his son
may have committed he will assist In
determining the course to be pursued
in the matter, It is not thought prob

Lake will or will not plead guilty.

Beet Growers Balk.

The new contracts being offered
growers of sugar beets for next sea-
sons crop are said to be meeting with
much opposition and several meetings
held at which the farmers are united IN
a protest against accepting the con-
tracts.
The beet growers of Rock and neigh
boring counties have organized, also
Milwaukee and Waukesha counties, as
we'll as Racine and Kenosha counties,
and the farmers have just right to
demand fair contract from the beet
companies, and other manufacturers
and dealers, as the farmers are not
getting the profit they are entitled to
for their labor, money expended and
capital invested. They declare they
will never grow ,beets under such
contract, which reads that growers
shall deliver beets in such quantities as
may be required by the beet company
during the months of September, Octo-
Der, November and December.
The grower must protect the beets
to prevent willing and thawlng or
deterioration. 1t is impossible for the
growers to comply with those terms,
when the beet company refuses to al
| low the beets to be loaded, and compels
| the growers to hold large per cent of
the crop until December as they did
| the past season.
1t also demands that the beets shall
be tared at the factory and weighed by
| the Western Railway association at the
factory, and that settlement shall be
made on the basis of such weights and
tare. The company shall pay for only
suitable beets after making deduction
for damaged beets, leaves, dirt or 9TH
er refuse and improper topping. This
makes the grower responsible until the
beets arrive at the factory, are weigh
ed, tared, sorted and accepted by
the beet company. This work should
be done at the loading station so the
farmer can see if he is getting his just
| dues or not, and after the farmer loads
his beets in the car in good and proper
condition, the beets ought to become
the property of the beet company and
settlement made on that basis, instead
of the farmer being responsible for
beets standing around on side tracks,
three and four weeks, subject to heavy
| shrink age, deterioration, and in fact
| total loss, and the grower be subj ct
on arrival of the beets TO discretion of
the beet factory how those beets shall
be tared and accepted.
