ROBBED IN RACINE RESORT.
Kenosha Man Has His Clothes Frisked
But Is Unable to Tell Racine
Sheriff Where 1t All Happened.

James Moysut, who said he resided
at 500 Bond street in Kenosha, report
ed to Sheriff Hollick of Racine county
on Monday, that he had been robbed
in resort north of Racine, but he
was not able to locate the place or tell
the sheriff any further facts in regard
to the robbery. The fact that a resort
existed in Racine county was such a
surprise to the Racine sheriff that he
spent some time questioning the Keno
sha man. The fellow said that he had
gone to the resort with a party of men
and that he did not know any of them.
All he knew was that during the even
ing his clothes were frisked and the
robbers got away with something like
twenty-three dollars in money. Moysut
came back to Kenosha on Monday af-
ternoon with the assurance that the
Racine officials would make an effort
to locate his bank roll but they did not
give him great deal of encourage
ment. They are more interested III
finding the resort than the money.
Possibly some Kenosha people would
be able to give the information desired.

ASKS BEET GROWERS TO STICK
President Piper Sends Out Communi-
cation to Growers of Racine and
Kenosha Counties.

Urging that the beet growers of Re
nosha and Racine counties stick for
the "big show" and decline to plant
beets until contracts of the right kind
have been signed, President A. J.
Piper Of the organization, has sent a
communication to the farmers of the
two counties. He says:
To the members of the Racine Kenosha
Counties Beet Growers Association:
For the information of the members
that either found it inconvenient or
neglected to attend the annual meeting
of the RacineKenosha County Beet
Growers Association held at Corliss.
Saturday, December 8, we are sending
out this letter.
The following resolutions were pass
ed after much deliberation and discus
sion, but almost unanimous. That the
price of beets to the grower for 1917
be $500 per ton and the labor not to
exceed $4,000 per acre for the hand
labor or $4,000 per acre for beets
yielding ten tons or less per acre and
80 cents per ton for each additional
ton above ten tons, to be left optional
with the sugar companies to engage
the labor but not to exceed one or the
other above prices. Also that the
sugar companies furnish good seed at
the same price as other seasons at Is
cents per pound.
Now these are only reasonable re-
quests that we are making of the sugar
companies, and the growers are abso-
lutely justified in these demands and
believe it is fair to both the sugar fac
tory and growers. Farmers wanting
to grow beets should absolutely refuse
to make contract under any other
terms, and if the beet sugar companies
expect beets the coming season it is up
to them to come out with a contract
to fully meet these terms.
The GAINESVILLE company. and the
Pope Sugar Company was represented
at the meeting, but offered no informa-
ton as to what price their companies
would pay for beets but would let us
know soon, but until they meet our
terms, "United we stand, in union
there is strength, -
Dated this 18th day of December.
1916. A. j. Piper, president.
