EEET GROWERS WILL RE
CEIVE MINIMUM OF
$3.50 PER TON IN 1917

Colorado beet growers will receive
a minimum of $3.50 per ton for their
beets as result of a resolut ion adopt
by the directors of the Great Western
Sugar company yesterday morning, in
which it was agreed that the increase
of 80 cents which was given the far
mers two months ago dependent up
on the price of sugar should be grant
ed without reservation. This action
means that for beets with a sugar
content of 1873 per cent the compa-
ny will pay $3.50 and for each per
cent above that figure it will add %
cents per ton, so that it will be pos
sible for farmers to earn as high as
$500 per ton.
The action taken BY the Great Wes-
tern company will doubtless be fol-
lowed by the Holly Sugar corporation
and the American Beet Sugar COM
pany.

only too glad to see the Great Wes-
tern Sugar Company taking the mat
ter in hand.
Mr.. Hoover informs US that he has
been sent here to bring the PROPOSE
ton to point, whereby a final de-
cision may be made by his company.
He has already made trip into the
territory east of Julesburg, in the vi
cinity of Big Springs, Brule and Ogal-
lala, and will cover all the territory in
a thorough manner during his stay in
this section. Mr.. Hoover is very
pleasant man to meet and we believe
he will deal in fair and conscien-
tious manner with the people of the
territory, in his work of investiga-
ton. He is a man of ability and has
years of experience in the sugar beet

gagged in numerous 9TH sugar fac

GERMAN SUBMARINE
is SHELLED BY AN
AMERICAN VESSEL

Captain Rice of the American
steamship Mongolia, which ar
rived at a British port, told the
Associated Press yesterday that
the Mongolia had fired the first
gun of war for the United
States and sunk a German sub
marine.
The naval gunners on board
made a clear hit, at 1000 yards.
The periscope was seen to be
shattered.
The submarine, Captain Rice
said, was about to attack the
great liner in British waters,
on April 10. He declared there
was absolutely no doubt that
the U-boat was hit and that
there was every reason to be-
lieve that it was totally de-
stroyed.
Even more pertinent a fact.
as regards the ultimate fate OF
the submarine, was that ne
shell disappeared Immediately
after the hit was made. The
captain stated that shell al
ways ricOchets in the waters,
and can be seen again unless 1t
finds the mark.
The American steamship was
vessel of 1868 tons, owned
by the International Mercantile
Marine company, and left an
American port for London on
April Z on her second trip since
Germany's submarine declara-
tion of Feb. 1st.

Our new Model Fourteen linotype
machine is now in operation-and we
are naturally very proud of this new
addition to the Grit-AdvOcate's me-
chanical equipment. c. w. Wildey
an expert linotype machinist connect
ed with the Mergenthaler Linotype
Company, has been here the past sew
eral days, engaged in installing the
machine, and it is now working per
fectly.
We have set this issue of the Grit
Advocate on the new machine and
besides have already done consider
able job composition in addition to
the regular newspaper work. We in
vite you to come in and see the Won
derful machine in operation and thus
see for yourself how your paper will
be composed from now on. We are
now in a position to do any sized Job
of printing and hope you will real
ize this fact in the future.
With this issue of the Grit-Advo-
cate we have joined the All-Home-
Print ranks, which simply means that
all Of the paper will be printed here
in the future, the ready-prirt pages
being eliminated. This means an ex-
ira cost of production-but with our
ever increasing business, we believe
that the people of this section want
the best there is in the way of a To-
cal newspaper.
We solicit the cooperation of all
in helping us to make the Grit-Ad-
vocate the best newspaper in this
section-it is to your interest as well
as ours. A good newspaper in any
community is a big asset, and it IS
entirely essential that we have the
support of all in our efforts to give
the community a paper that will be
a credit to the community in which
it circulates. Let US all boost for
a bigger and better Julesburg-anc
we assure you that the Grit-Adyo-
cate will do its share in working to-
wards this end.

we had thought that few cents

The gentleman was a total stran-

Fast Ball Team
Now Expected
Fussel and Tollefson Secured
Cor Julesburg Battery Other
Fast Players Obtained

From all indications Julcsburg is in
line for a rafting" good base ball
team. The boys are enthusiastic ov-
er the prospects and are willing to do
their part towards developing a good
team for our city during this sea-
son.
Fred Fussel, who is well known by
our citizens, has been engaged to
do the twirling act for the home team
and this means that department will
have its full strength, as MIR. Fusl
sell can rightfully be termed pitch
ing "wonder" He is in greet de-
mand, not only by ameteur clubs but
by the league teams as well. He has
made quite an amiable reputation on
the diamond the past two years, and
with his services, Juiesburg should
come out of most the games played
with the big end of score. Fussell
alone will be big drawing card for
the .Julesburg team.
Another addition to the team will
probably be Q first-class catcher and
captain in the person of Tolly Toilet
son, who comes here from LuVerne.
Mimi, and has signified his willing
ness to play with Julesburg during
this season. Mr. Tolleyfson is an
experienced man behind the bat, hav-
ing played with several state league
teams, and has splendid credentials
to back up this argument. Owing to
the fact that he is looking after land
interests here, the Julesburg team
will be able to secure his services for
the summer.
With Tollefson behind the bat, and
captain Of the team and Fred Fus-
sell in the pitchers box-can you
beat it for battery that will show
up in grand style? Aside from this
we must not overlook the home tai
ent. who with some consistent prac-
tice work, will back up the said Fus-
sell and Tolleyfson in good shape,
and will develop base ball team that
will do credit to our city.
Let's all boost for a winning base
ball team this year-one that will
meet all comers and give them a good
run for their money"

We are glad to note the prompt ac-

ISINCREASING
ATLUNCHEON
rs Attend the MONDAY
Luncheon.-.Various
Things Discussed

Last Wednesdays Noon day Lunch
con held at the Brown hotel by the
Julesburg business men was very
interesting session, and was well at
tended, there being over twenty-five
present. President L. d. Parker, Jr.
of the Commercial Club, presided in
his usual pleasing manner, and nu-
merOus important subjects were dis
cussed.
President Parker called on the COM
mittee recently appointed for The dec
oratior day program, and after hav-
ing discovered that nothing definite
yet had been done, it was urged that
they get busy and make report at
next Wednesdays gathering.
The committee in charge of the aid
ing of those who desired to enlist in
the army and navy reported that one
young man had been sent the past
week to Denver, but that no funds
were needed in this particular case,
as the applicant wished to furnish
his own transportation. A report
will be heard from this committee at
next Wednesdays gathering.
p. r. Mcdowell reported that he
had received a letter from Hardy w.
Campbell, the dry farming expert of
Lincoln, Nebr., stating that he would
come to Julesburg some time during
the early part of June if his services
were so desired. After some discus
sion it was decided that owing to the
busy season of the year for our far
mers it would not be advisable to
have Prof. Campbell at that time.
The matter of legal crossing be-
ing established at the railroad cross
ing on second street was taken up.
f. F. Clayton, member of the city
council was present. and stated that
the matter had been up before the
council, but no definite action had yet
been taken by that body. After some
further discussion upon this matter,
a motion was made and seconded, that
the chairman appoint committee to
confer with the city council, and urge
them to take action along this line
In view of the nuisance and incon-
venience which has been experienced
in the past, arising from the block
aiding of the crossing by trains, we
believe this a splendid move, and we
hope that the council will take action
towards establishing legalizcd cross
ing at this particular point, at least,
in order that trains will then not be
allowed to block the crossing for more
than five minutes at one time.
A suggestion was also made that
we get busy on trying to prevail up
on the Union Pacific railroad compa-
ny to build new depot in Julesb burg.
1t is certain that this city is entitled
TO a better depot, especially so, con-
siGering the amount of business done
by the railroad company at this point.
We believe united action will be
taken in regard to securing a new de-
pot for Julesburg in the early future,
one that will be credit to our city,
and not d discrcdit, as is the present
structure.
The last, but not by any means the
least on the program at yesterdays
luncheon, was the splendid talk made
by w. A. Hoover, representative of
the Great Western Sugar Company.
Mr. Hoover said he admired the spir-
it shown by the business men of this
city in holding MONDAY luncheons
once each week, and was sure that
good results were being obtained by

reality.
We hope that the investigation
campaign now being carried on by Mr..
Hoover will prove highly satisfactory
to the Great Western Sugar Company
and that their decision will be to the
effect that they will erect a modern
sugar factory within the territory
covered by the Colorado Nebraska
Beet Growers Association in the ear
ly future. Let US cooperate in ev-
cry possible manner with Mr.. Hoov-
er in his work, and lend him any as

either to shake hands or tc put their
arms affectionately around their
shoulders. There is not much senu-
ment in the makeup of an American
artilleryman. His one idea is that he
is in France to fight, so it took a mo-
ment or two for the men to decide to
accept the demonstration of approval.
Even when this was done, the Ameri-
cans were more or less embarrassed
and many, whose business for some
days, had been confined to killing Ger
mans, actually blushed

gun carriage The horses were worn
out and some laid down as soon as
they reached their beds of straw
Not Man GrumbIed.
Despite the hardships, not a man
was heard to grumble except about the
fact that no mail from home was
waiting for him. Every one declared

said that the night the American
trench was raided the artillery got in
to action quickly and poured a coun-
ter-barrage into NoMans-Land. They
were sure they prevented all the Ger.
mans from reaching the trench and
that some of the Germans never got
back alive. The officers and men were
proud Of their ability to handle their
guns in this manner.
The members of the crew which
