SUGAR BEET
HARVEST COM.
MENCES TODAY

The sugar beet harvest opened up in
entering upon the busy marketing sea-
son. The beet dumps have been op-
ened and the familiar scene of beet
wagons loaded with sugar beets has
again come into the limelight.
While it is reported that the acre
age of sugar beets is 10000 to $4,000
acres short from that of last year in
the Great Western Sugar Co.'S beet
growing districts, it is pleasing to
note that this shortage is not the fault
of the Sedgwick county growers. as
the acreage here is up to the average,
in fact there were more acres planted
to beets this year in this district than
last year
Field Manager Fred Maier informs
the writer that the beets in this dis
trict are testing higher sugar con-
tent than the average, but indications
are that the tonnage will beasomewhat
less this year. While the growers are
receiving flat rate this year and the
SuSaI SoIllGHl " III ~ io IL III Z III wv
lars and cents to them directly, they
have a patriotic interest in seeing the
product make as large volume of
sugar as possible to help cope with
the present shortage of sugar in the
nation And with this thought in mind,
the beet grower is to be compensated
this year at substantial increase in
price per ton which will offset the
flat rate paid by the sugar company.
Frank Deich, the cooperative wea-
ther observer in this city, has made
arrangements with the government
weather bureau to receive telegraphic
weather reports each morning, and he
has authorized us to announce that
he will be glad to furnish the farmers
with the report each day if they will
call his residence, the phone number
being Julesburg 1T J. This informa
ton will be furnished free of charge,
and should be big advantage to the

Every true American should strive to
give genuine assistance to his govern
ment at this critical war time. Sub
scribing for the Fourth Liberty Loan
will be assisting the government and
the soldiers.

TENTH DOWN IS
REQUIRED ON
FOURTH LOAN

Washington, d. C.-Ten per cent
on the Liberty Loan subscription
will be required on application in
stead of 5 as for past loans, the U.
S. Treasury announced last Monday.
Twenty per cent will be due Nov. 21,
20 per cent, Dec. 19; 20 per cent Jan
l6 and 80 per cent Jan. 80.
This is the first time more than
three installments have been arrang-
ed in addition to the payment on ap-
plication for any Liberty Loan. The
initial payment was increased as a
means Of discouraging the practice
of some persons, in the past of sub
scrbing without carrying out the in
stallments.
The setting of the last installment
of 80 per cent as late as Jan. 30 was
interpreted as assurance that the
fifth Liberty Loan would not be
floated before late in February or
possibly March.
The initial payment, altho due at
the time of pledging, need not be
paid until Oct. 10. the end of the
subscription period and loan cam

vised National headquarters that mil
lions of bath and hand towels and
handkerchiefs must be supplied Amer
lean soldiers in the hospitals of France
