BEET GROWERS GET A MILLION
Idaho Beet Raisers Receive Nice Sum
Of Money.

Idaho sugar beet growers were paid
$6SO,OOO, Nov. 10, for beets delivered
during October 1t is believed the De-
cember pay day will bring the sum re-
ceived by farmers in this state for
beets up to the million dollar mark.
The Southern Idaho factories and
the sums paid to the growers supply
ing them are given out as follows:
Idaho Falls .............. .$175,O 900

Burley 16O, 900
This is the industry that the beet
sugar companies claim President Will
son will put out of business when
sugar goes on the free list. 1t remains
to be seen II these claims prove true.
II they do, the free trade party will
get hard jolt in the beet growing
sections. 1t is by testing out these
theories that the actual facts are
known.-Nampa Record.

There is to be special excursion

Aberdeen Girl a Close Second and

to the Republican.

The Republican office wants .
subscription clerk" to take care OF
the renewals as they are turned In.
Contestants who get out and make y
known that they are after subscrip-
tions, 60 to front rank, and many
people who come to the office to pay
up, are Indifferent about who they
vote for because they have not met
any of the girls and have no choice.
This indicates that the girls who get
out and find people at this time and
let, them know there are pianos at
stake, are the ones who will get the
big block of votes. A live weekly
paper always finds a place among the
farmers, and the Republican stands
the test Of comparison. The town
people find it has satisfactory news
service and the advertisers know that
it brings results, and these are the
reason why buiness is on the jump
around the Republican office, and ev-
erybody busy. ot Es1tssAJ @~s sex
The contest closes in four weeks,
and the girl who turns in the most
money by next Thursday for job
printing and advertising, will receive
