CARO- BEET GROWERS
ARE GIVEN CONTRACTS

Orders were received at the Caro-
plant of the Michigan Sugar Co., says
the Caro- Advertiser, to begin writ
ing contracts for beet acreage last
Saturday morning, and by the middle
Of the week there was every indica-
ton that the work would be complet-
ed by this, Friday, evening.
The contracts are substantially like
those written the past year, the price
remaining at six dollars per ton fiat,
with a return to the former rates for
foreign labor when furnished by the
company.
General Manager w. II. Wallace of
the Michigan Sugar Co., is reported
as saying: "The reason the contracts
were held up and the reason for the
Sc price was because we did not know
what the conditions were going to be
at Washington. If our Democratic
friends had gone through with their
first plan of taking the tariff off sugar
early in the next year not one Of our
plants would have started next fall.
Now we hope all will open. 1t is our
belief that the tariff will stay on SUI
gar. That means we get protection
and will pay the same price as we did
this year, Sc ton straight through

ALMA GETS A BIG
MOTOR TRUCK ORDER

Probably one of the largest motor
truck orders ever taken for domestic
use has been closed by the Republic
Motor Truck Company of Alma by
the acceptance of an order from a
Chicago firm for 700 trucks, involving
an expense of over $1,250,000. This
order was brought about by the Won
derful sale of Republic trucks in that
city last year, which fully warranted
the dealer in making a purchase of
this magnitude. This and other large
orders has put the company in a posi-
ton that TO fill orders it will have to
increase it's capacity. At the present
time the company is employing over
800 men in the plant and some Of the
departments are working over time.
