To our growers:
We herewith announce the beet con-
tract we will offer this coming sea
son. 1t is practically the same as

the beet payment clause, which reads
as follows:
THE company agrees to pay for
beets delivered and accepted at the
rate of $500 per ton f. o. b. factory
sheds or cars at nearest receiving
station after tare has been deducted.
If the New York sugar price should
average more than $3.50 per hundred
pounds and less than s725 per hund-
red pounds, $3.50 per ton will be
paid for the beets. If the New York
sugar price averages S725 per hundred
pounds or more. 500 per ton will
be paid for beets. The New York
price shall be determined by taking
the average daily wholesale price as
published from October 1st. 1917 to
December 81, 1917.
The time of payment clause will
read as follows:
The company agrees to make
settlement on or about the 18th of
each month for all beets delivered
and received during the previous
calendar month at the rate of $500
per ton. Any amount due for beets
in excess of $500 per ton will be paid

Equality Desirable

Apologists for the present electoral
college method OF electing a president
say that 1t has worked no injury TO
either party. But it has worked an
injury to the country. Under the
present system a plurality of the vote
cast in a state carries the entire elec-
toral vote OF the state. No one out
side the state. therefore, pays much
attention to the means taken to pre-
vent n fair election. But II the vote
were direct for presidential candidates,
a vote from Louisiana would count for
as much as a vote from Indiana and no
more. and every Republican in Louisi.
ana should have a chance to vote and
have his vote honestly counted. A full
vote fair count would have lef

thousand votes behind in the recent
election. And the country would have
