Restaurant Fire
Is Quickly Ended

Fire broke out in the Robinson
restaurant Tuesday shortly before
noon, but was soon extinguished and
without loss. The fire was caused
the gasoline tank overflowing when
beng filled while the fire in the bur
ner was running. Another like fire
occurred in the same place on Sun ay
night but no alarm was sent in and
the fire was soon under control.
When the alarm was sent to the
Headquarters Tuesday Oscar Lind
holm acted as auto truck driver, five
man and all. He answered the call
and Immediately turned the crank
and was off. When he reached the
scene of the fire, took one of the
small chemical extinguishers and in
about three "jiffies" had the fire out
and was on his way back. One time
soon after the truck was received an
alarm was given and SO many men
piled on the car that it was almost
impossible to reach the fire, but the
one-man art of operation demon
strates that 1t is not thing desired
to have a lot of men on the truck,
enc or two men, and three at the
most, are all that need to ride. The
truck reaching the fire with one man
on It in a great deal better than
truck with a dozen or fifteen
men on it making it impossible to
make speed. Most fires are put out
with chemicals, and when the chem
icals get there on time 1t makes little
difference about whether or not there
are lot of men on the scene.

Beet Price May
Be Set by u. S.

There is talk that the government
is to set the price of beets and of
sugar and in that event, according
to the statement of a representative
of the National Sugar Manufacturing
Co., the National will pay the govern
ment price IL 1t is more than the
price set by their present contract.
This VIII apply even on beets already
contracted so those who contract to
grow beets need not worry about the
price.
The following from Washington
gives the information that the gov
ernment is to delve into the matter
and ascertain the cost of producing
beets:
The United States food administra-
tion VIII appoint commission of dis
interested Coloradoans to determine
the cost of producing sugar beets in
Colorado and a fair profit thereon.
The commission will be authorized
to hold public hearings, take the tes-
timony of producers who may volun-
tarily appear before it, and testimony
OF producers who may be called by
the commission, after which it will
make a finding.
The power of the commission does
not extend to the fixing of price
which shall be paid to the producers
by the refineries. 1t is limited to the
determination of the cost of beet
production and fair profit thereon.
The food administration is vitally
Interested in the production of the
maximum quantity of sugar beets in
Colorado. There has been an active
discussion regarding the cost of pro
Gucing sugar beets there.

there Is to be no sphere left in human
thought in which faith can operate.
1t was said Of Arnold Of Rugby that

cred truth. 1t is n grent thing to be
