PULL TOGETHER
AND NOT APART

In the western beet sugar indus
try going to be treated as an asset
by the western farmers or is 1t go
ing to be further crippled this year
by a systematic campaign of reduc-
ing beet acreage to force artificial
prices for beets.
This season several large sugar
beet factories have been idle because
the beet acreage was reduced to q
point where they could not operate.
The agitator who planned the re-
duced acreage campaign last year
will not be the man to help the farm
ers get new factory or open an old
one which his work has closed.
In all the agitation which is car
ried on. this fact must be remem-
bered, the west cannot change the
price Of sugar and the price Of sd
gar governs entirely the price which
can be paid for beets.
If the agitators were successful
in reducing beet acreage to sypher.
and thereby closing every factory in
the west, 1t would Immediately raise
The price OF sugar.
The effect would be the killing OF
a growing industry, the reduction OF
cattle food "a shortening OF our pres

would expand to ship us just that

Under our existing laws and rules

under the American flag will be
much more costly than under any
other flag where Japanese. Chinese,
Lascars, Italians or Europeans are
employed as part Of the crews, using
the more highly educated men such
as American seamen in the more i'm
Iportant positions Of navigating and
operating the ships.
II these ships are to remain under
the American flag and carry traffic
in competition with those OF other
nations. some plan must be found to
eliminate this difference in cost Of
operation in order that American
owners may compete under interna-
tional conditions.
It has been suggested that tho
government pay differences in cost
Of operation by chartering vessels to
operating companies at rates which
will enable them to meet competi-
tion. This would be virtually a sub
sidy and lead to endless political fav-
oritism. Other means would be to

100 PER CENT PURCHASES

The employees of the Belding Foun-
dry Company went on record as a
patriotic lot of fellows early in the
campaign Saturday when the records
showed a 100 per cent sales at that
institution, every man had subscribed
for bond of the Fourth Liberty loan.
No argument was needed or rescrted
to in order to accomplish this but out
of the entire force there was not a
man but who saw the need Of the hour
with the nation and coming to it's
rescue with all the power that he
could command, bought a bond and
helped the boys that way. We doubt
if there are many concerns who can
feel more pride in the display of their

ing Foundry company ever the flag

ter from Sec. Lee III. Berce of the
Grand Rapids chamber of commerce
confirming our statement in last
weeks issue concerning Christmas
trading.
No merchant will be allowed to hire
more clerk help than at any ordinary
time of the year. He wilr not be al
lowed to keep his store open longer
than the usual hours and will be COM
PEELED to take care of the Christmas
trade in those hours.
The government wants the people
Of the nation to start their Christmas
shopping now and continue it through
the months of October, November
and December so as to help the mer-
chants take care of the Christmas
trade in conformity with the wishes
of the government.
Do not mistake this as a suggestion
on the part of the government; it is
war ruling and will be strictly en-
forced.

board, to the effect that hereafter
there will be no more water rent no

you wish to pay your water bill you

much it is. The city clerk says that
