COLORADO beet
RAISERS GIVEN
BETTERPR
Voluntary Concession BY Great
Western Sugar Co. Means |
Millions to farmers

Denver adyices state that the Great
Western Sugar Company, at its direc-
tors meeting held in Denver, decided
to make a voluntary increase of so
cents a, ton in the price paid farmers
for their sugar beets. The average
price to be paid this year, based upon
last years prices, will be $685. ton.
This will be the highest price ever
paid In the United States for beets
in large quantities. In making this
announcement the company's officials
added the statement that this years
sugar beet crop in Colorado will total
100000 tons-an increase of $50, 600
tons over last years crop Of j $50, 900
tons. At the new scale of prices Colo
RADIO sugar beets will this year yield
$12,635,000. That is an. increase Of
$2,97s,500 in the price paid, to farmers
tor the crop. . ~
Officers of the companysstatedl that
the voluntary raise in the price be
paid farmers was made simply h1f the
reason that the company is prosperous
and able to afford the increase. 1--WE
want the farmers to understand that
we are playing iair with them ssaid
W. D. Lippitt,> assistant secretary OF
the Great Western Sugar Company
1T simply is good business to make
this raise at a time when we can at
ford it. 1t is establishing better re.
lations with the beet growers, which
will react fayorably upon the company
in the future" The raise in the price
of sugar beets will affect approximate
ly 1900 Colorado farmers. There are
now 10000 acres in Colorado devoted
to sugar .beets. The agricultural de-
partment of the Great Western con-
Germ places the average number of
acres to each grower at twenty.

MURRAY SEES LITTLE
: LIKELIHOOD OF FIRM '.
COMPETING WITH CITY

Metered water. is proving too ex.
pensive for at least one business firm
Of Honolulu. Harry Murray, manager
of the water works, has been told that
manufacturing firm which had a
meter installed, recently intends to
dig a we'll across the street from its
plant. providing i. can obtain lease
of the property,
81 think the firm will not carry out
it's plan," said Murray this morning
ct will be necessary for it to lay
mains across the street in order to
obtain the use of the water and | be-
lieye the supervisors will not stand
for that. If they do we will soon
have a maze of private mains and
serious inroads on the city's supply
of artesian water will be made"
- He refused to=giEe the name of the
firm and declared that the plans were
only in tentative stage.

TRADE IN HAWAIIAN
DRIED PEPPERS MAY
BE DEVELOPED SOON

That trade in Hawaiian dried pep

and trade reports of the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce.
The article follows:
MANY mainland firms have made
inquiries during the past few months
concerning the common small red

other products of the HaW allan Isl.

count OF the report that the Mediter,
ranean fly had infested some of the
Hawaiian products, the pepper Is no
longer grown Ion a commercial scale.
Practically every Hawaiian, has q
plant or two around his house for
home use, but none are now grown
for drying or exporting. These pep.
pers are very easily raised all over
the islands, and III good market
could be found for the dried product,
the Territorial marketing division,
conducted under the supervision of
the United States experiment station
at Honolulu. believes that the indus

superintendent Longley Of the Ter

an attempt was made by the division
a short time ago to establish the
dried pepper industry here, using An

suited from his efforts.
Peppers can be shipped into the
United States dried, but there is a
quarantine against the fresh product,
due to its susceptibility to the melon
fly. The producer would have to get,

REPORTS SHOW SCARCITY
OF HIGH CLASS SEED

Experienced growers are predicting
that because of the scarcity of seed
much corn of inferior quality will be
offered Wisconsin farmers this spring.
They assign two eaus' for this infer
iority: because the seed has been
grown too far south, or because 1T is
poor in growing power.
Seed of varieties grown in the corn
belt does not meet the needs of Wis
copsln's most discriminating growers
for experience has convinced them that
such corn is not adapted to our soil
and climate conditions. They are
equally unwilling to run the chance of
planting Wisconsin grown seed which
has not been tested for termination
and so are insisting upon getting only
high testing seed from their dealers.
Everyone realizes that prices for
seed corn are so high that the tempta-
ton will be great to sell as seed corn
any which is bright in appearance
whether it will grow or not:
The state seed inspection service at
the College of Agriculture is inviting
farmers to send them samples of seed
corr for testing before buying, pro-
viding they are not able TO do the work
themselves. Unless abso-
lutely sure that the seed is all right,
this precaution would likely save dis
and loss.

NO DANGER OR
NEGLIGENT
Not q Warship Completed Since
Democrats Gained Control House
SIxTY-SEVEN AUTHORIZED
President Says Country Facing Crisis
but No Effort to Hasten Con-
struction Vessels

Washington, D. O., Feb. IAN ap-
palling oversight of the Democratic
administration in providing for nation
ri defense has been laid bare.
Representative Patrick FL. Kelley OF
Michigan, a member of the Naval AT
fairs Committee, has disclosed TO the
House that of the nine 6readnaughts,
seventeen destroyers, thirty-nine sub
marines and two transport and supply
ships authorized by Congress or under
construction since the Democrats have
been in control of the House. NOT
ONE Is COMPLETED.
More important still, no apparent
effort has been made by the President
or the Navy Department since the be-
ginning of the war in Europe to has
ten the construction and completion of
these additions to the Navy.
Why this neglect on the part of the
administration to carry Out the man.
date of Congress to equip the navy for
adequate national defense at this time!
In a resolution setting forth this
condition Mr.. Kelley referred TO the
Presidents recent statement that 1.-The
world is on fire and we are daily tread
ing amidst dangers not of our own
making and not under our control; no
man can tell what day may bring
forth"
His resolution proposed that the
Secretary of the Navy be directed to
negotiate at once with contractors and
government ship yards to learn the
earliest time within which these war
craft can be completed, and report to
the House.
The President has said in his recent
speeches that the country faces a
crisis" said Mr.. Kelley, land none
could tell what a day might bring
forth" If this language means any
thing, it means that our need of de-
Tense is a present need. Dreadnaughts
and battle cruisers authorized by this
Congress will not be available for the
defense of the country for four years
to come.
Hence it seems to me that the first
duty of Congress is to see that the
sixty-sevsn ships now under construc-
tion or authorized for the American
navy are completed and made available
al the earliest possible moment. Pre-
parations which do not materialize
for i've years would not avail us any
thing If our danger is present one.
al cannot understand hew the Presi-
dent, knowing the danger as he only
can know it, has made no suggestion
TO Congress that the ships now under
construction ought to be rushed to COM
pletion.
Either we are not in danger or the
President has been negligent in this
regard.

CAN OLD AGE BE CHEATED?

A former tennis champion gave UP
the game shortly after leaving col
lege. While he had lost none of his
interest and love for the sport, pres
sure of his regular business made it
impossible for him to devote as much
time to the game az he had done. Dur
ing the past summer he was inveigled
into match with far younger man.
The former champion displayed re-
markable skill and made comeback
which was amazing to both. Thus en-
couraged he played frequently and
hard at the game.
Toward the end of the season he had
to give up the game on account of
"tennis elbow" which was so painful
that it made his brilliant plays, which
had done so much to offset the youth
of his opponent, impossible. Some few
weeks later this man suffered from an
intestinal attack and became call run
down" Not recovering promptly, he
was finally advised to go to a sani-
tariupl for few weeks rest, course
of baths, massage, mild gymnastics,
and other forms of treatment employ
ed to resuscitate old, broken down
business men. To his utter disgust he
was told by the physician in charge
that at 45 he was too old to play vigor-
Gus, competitive games. Unwilling to
accept such en unwelcome statement
and to shape his life accordingly, he
attributes his breakdown to having
stuck to his business too long without
vacation. The physician, however,
was right.
AS | have stated before in this
column, every man, and woman also
for that matter, needs physical recre-
alton and play, but most decidedly and
e~nphatically it should not be in the
form of vigorous, competitive contests
of strength and skill. and especially
not against the present generation of
college athletes. 1t is bettet thou
sand times for one to lead an almost
absolutely sedentary life chan to over
tax ones physical strength in competi-
tive games.
1t is difficult to realize that one is no
longer physically young at 45; and yet
the history of the prize ring is one
long chronicle of defeats of young
middle aged men by youths from 20 to
% years DID, Prudence, if nothing
else, dictates that people should at
tempt to grow Odd gracefully and COM
placently.
The real need of those of US who are
approaching the danger line is form
of physical play and recreation thati is
adapted to our physical abilities and
requirements. Golf, during a good
part of the season, seems to do better
than other sport and it is encouraging
to see so many courses being opened.
But we need more winter sports.

John R. Mclean.

A notable figure in journalism and a strong
factor in Democratic politics passed from the
scene OF triumph and defeat when death sum-
moned John R. Mclean While Ohio knew him
as fighting force in politics, in Washington,
his home for score of years or more he was
IA dominating influence in the larger affairs of
business, while his city and suburban residences
were, during the lifetime OF Mrs. Mclean, the
scenes of social entertainments unrivaled in the
history of the Capital In the past few years
Mr.. Mclean narrowed his active interest in the
financial and commercial enterprises which
earlier engrossed him, devoting more OF his
time to his newspapers and to his more int-
mate friends
Mr.. Mclean, was intensely American, with
an unwavering faith in its institutions and its
destiny. Devoted to art and music, with the
great wealth at his command he became almost
IA magician at times, when he dazzled the
Capital by bringing Caruso here to sing for his
guests of evening. With all this he hated
and despised publicity for himself or his
achievements. OF disposition almost secretve
only his intimates-and there were few of
then-understood him, and even for them he
was full of surprises. If he was exacting of
his friends, he was also considerate of them
and loyal to them.
1t little world that knew of Mr.. Nc
Leans good deeds. He never refused an ap-
peal for help on a large scale for the poor. He
gave with eager hand to funds for free ice,
free bread, free anything for the needy. Once
he paid the expenses back to America of a
whole company of stranded American actors
Yet his name never appeared in a published
list of contributors to charity
Neither the business nor the political worlds,
from which he had gradually withdrawn, will be
shaken by the passing of Tohn R. Mclean His
going will cause sorrow to not few
