BEET GROWERS TO GET MORE
Wisconsin Sugar Company Boosts the
Price to Eight Dollars a Ton
in Voluntary Offer.

According to letters received by
local beet growers, who hold contracts
to supply the Wisconsin Sugar Company
with beets at seven dollar a ton this
year, the pioneer sugar concern has
voluntarily raised the price to eight
dollars per ton in order to stimulate
the production, in view of the war
time food crisis.
The growers also will respond to the
appeal of the President and the state
government if they can get help in the
care and harvest of their crops. The
scarcity of labor is a source of anxiety
to farmers here, although every effort
possible is being made to encourage
men, women, boys and girls in the cities
to help when they can on the farms
Tn view of the changed conditions
since we have contracted with you con
corning the raising and delivering of
sugar beets for the ensuing season, we
have decided to pay eight dollars per
ton for beets delivered to us in the fall
of 1917, in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the aforesaid CON
tract. 1t will not be necessary for you
to renew the contract which was mail
ed to you by this Office properly approx
ed, as this letter attached to your con-
tract will be sufficient evidence that
payment will be made on the above
basis according to contract for grow
ing beets which you have made with
us this season.

PROGRAM Being ARRANGED
Publicity Committee Starts Work Thurs
day Night and Kenosha Invitation Is
Going to Be Most Cordial Ever Ex-
tended by Any City to Veterans.

"Kenosha wants every man who
fought in the Civil War to be its guest
in June. This was the invitation de-
cided on by the publicity committee of
the State Encampment of the Grand
Army at it's first meeting on Thursday
night, and within few days great
posters, announcing the coming SEES
sions Of the Grand Army in Kenosha,
will be hung in every post hall Of the
Grand Army in Wisconsin.
Following up this poster is going to
be a little booklet which is going to
every member of the Grand Army in
the state. Tt is going to be Kenosha's
invitation to the Grand Army men. It
is. going to contain not only copy of
the program for the reunion which is
to occupy the time from June 18th to
June 22nd, but it is also going to con-
tain lot of interesting data about
Kenosha.
No effort is to be spared in making
the ffty-ffth reunion of the Wisconsin
veterans a success and it is planned to
advertise the eneampment more widely
than any gathering of the veterans
ever held in Wisconsin.
The committee in charge of making
the formal program is now busy and
within the next ten days the program
will be ready There is going to be
many features connected with the en-
tertainment of the visitors. Every
theatre in Kenosha is expected to
throw open it's doors to the wearers of
the bronze butte and factories and
other places of interest will adopt the
open door" policy for the three days
that Kenosha has the states heroes as
its guests.
Men who have been active in the
national organization of the Grand Ar
my are coming to Kenosha for the
three days encampment, The grand
commander and his staff are expected
to be here and many men who have
served in the national organization, in
high official positions, will be invited.
Committees who are to have charge
Of the housing Of the thousand guests
of the city have started this monu-
mental work and already many of the
loyal patriotic people of the city have
announced their intention of opening
their homes for the entertainment of
the old Boys in Blue and their wives.
A special invitation is to-~be issued to
the veterans to bring their wives to the
Kenosha encampment and as many of
these women are members of allied or
CARNATIONS, it is certain that they will
accept the invitation.
The publicity work is to be started
at once and within the next ten days
every old soldier in Wisconsin will
know that Kenosha is ready to enter
tain him as he has never been enter
tanned before. Other committees con
necte with the entertainment of the
encampment will meet the first of next
week and the thorough organization of
all committees will be made at that
time.
