BEET CONTRACTS
Communication Tells About Meeting
Which Settled Beet Prices.

At a meeting Of the beet growers
association and the Michigan Manu-
facturers, held in Saginaw January
%, 1918 there was disagreement in
regard TO the price the Growers AS
ISOLATION demanded and theManufac-
turers would pay for sugar beets for
season of 1918.
The Growers Association demanded
Q straight SO fiat price per ton and
the manufacturers fatty refused TO
give this much at the present Gov
eminent price for graduated sugar
George A. Prescott, Michigan's
State Food Administrator, was pre-
sent at the meeting and tried to har-
monte matters. He suggested that
p the Manufacturers pay and the grow
. crs accept of $500 per ton guaran-
e teed price with as much added to this
price as sugar sold above $500 per
100lb. during four months of next
falls campaign, to which suggestion
the Manufacturers agreed. The
Growers Association refused to con-
slider anything but $40 fiat price.
Under this contract suggested by
Mr.. Prescott the Manufacturers say
they are perfectly willing to pay the
farmer $500 per ton plus Sl.00 more
III sugar sells S1.00 above $500 per
;00lb. so if the price of sugar should
advance to 5000 per 100 or more the
farmer will get $40 per ton and more
Eor his beets next fall.
Mr.. Prescott, State Food Admins
traitor, thought this was a square
and fair contract for the Manufac-
turers and perfectly safe and square
deal to the farmer.
Some members Of the Growers As
sociation declare they would advise
and keep the farmer from contracting
nj anything less than the fiat $40
price, whereupon Food Administra-
tor Prescott declared that he would
make it very interesting for anyone he
found doing such a thing.
With the extra thousands upon
thousands Of dollars the manufacture
err are expanding to procure labor the
enormously higher price Of beet seed
(For which the farmer pays the same
price as usual, l5c per poundD it seems

offered a very liberal and fair con.
tract.

INTERESTING LETTER.

for the winter, has written very in
teresting letter TO the Alma Record.
The letter follows:
New Orleans, La, Jan. 10, 1918
| Dear Mr.. Brown:
You said when we left Alma, lets
hear from you" Well, here we are
after a month or more. When we left
Alma il was showing hard and il
showed for two days and we found
snow in southern Alabama and in
northern Louisiana. We were almost
three days and two nights on our
| way
When near New Orleans we crossed
seven miles Of lake by railroad. We
felt much easier after we were across.
When we arrived at New Orleans we
were met by Dr. and Mrs. Fuller and
we were soon in their homo and made
. comfortable. We have had some cold
weather here, the coolest for many
years. But cold weather don't last
long here. We have some very beau
tiful days.
This city is quite a large city,
three hundred and eighty thousand
population. Mostly French, Spanish
and Italians. also many colored peo-
pie. This city has great shipping ia
cilities. There is about - miles of
dockage along the river. Since we
have been here there was an explosion
on the river. the steamer Freeport, an
oil and gasoline steamer. This ex-
ploSion took place very early in the
morning. A tank Of gasoline explod-
ed. One man killed and five wounded.
There were two AuStrian-German
sailors employed on this steamer and
they arc now in the tolls, charged
with the crime. This explosion shook
the whole city, and brought the Sam
mics to their feet in a hurry.
There are about twelve hundred sol
diers along the river, guarding the
ships and harbor. a few weeks ago
man came down the river in a mo-
tor boat and came near the dock. The
soldier called TO him to halt, but he
paid no attention to the call The sol
der shot him at once
n few days ago and inspected the
ships and river front. There will be
many more soldiers put on. The river
is closely watched here.
This city is pulling hard to get the
Henry Ford ship building plant here.
Mr.. Ford will be here soon. This GER
tainly would be a fine location for a
plant like that, all kinds of material
and good location. We are expect
ing the British Tank Brittania here
from New York about Jan. 25th. This
tank has been in many battles. They
tell Us a sharpnel will not penetrate
one of these tanks. We expect large
crowd here at that time They go from
here to California.
A few weeks ago we were per-
mtted to hear Bishop Bashford, of the
NJ. +. church, on China He said
China was the oldest nation in the
world, over two thousand years old.
He also said it was the strongest ma
ton in the world. A week ago there
were so missionaries started from
here for India. Among them were
some from Michigan, Miss Tubbs and
Miss Thomey, from Kalamazoo.
We went down Canal street the
other day and we counted SO Republic
trucks on Canal street. thought that
was pretty good. The manager told
me afterward he had over 300 of
those trucks in the city.
Must close. Our best wishes to our
Alma friends.

backache, the result OF catching cold
which settled in my back. Foley
Kidney Pills always give me prompt
relief and I can cheerfully recon-
mend them"
The reason Foley Kidney Pills act
70 satisfactorily is because they neu-
traiize and dissolve the poisonous
waste matter that remains In the
blood because the kidneys do not
do their work properly in altering
and casting out from the system uric
acid and other poisons.
Relief usually follows in a few
days and such symptoms as pain In
the sides or back. stiff joints. sore
muscles. rheumatism. too frequent
action OF the bladder at night. and
other painful and annoying ailments
disappear. Foley Kidney Pills con-
tain no harmful Ingredients. They

Speeding up of Wayne

the surprise Of their lives" when they
60 to the polls next November and at
tempt to vote. They will be met with
absolute refusal from the election
board because Of the fact that they
neglected to register as required by
law.
Despite all warnings that have been
given in Wayne county since early
last spring. less than one-third Of the
voters thus far have registered. The
Wayne county registration board is on
duty daily, excepting Sundays and hol-
idays. In the clerks office at the court
house. There Is no fee charged by
the registration board and the process
requires but few minutes Of any vot-
er's time. This Is not a partisan af-
fair. the registration board points out
and 1t is essential that the member
means an absolute taking away of the
voters privilege OF participating in
the general election next fall The
final day for registration Is october
z, and the election takes place one
month thereafter.
Unless a speeding up process takes
place very quickly, there is bitter dis
appointment In store for many voters
who will not realize their predicament
until election day arrives and they find
they can have no part in the contests.
In case voters send for registration
blanks, they may fill them out before
notary public at any place and mail
the blank hack to the registration
board in Richmond. There are no eX-
emptions. No matter where a voter
may be temporarily. If he expects to
vote in Wayne county next November.
he must get his name on the registra
ton roll before October Z. The day
following will not do. Register now
and be a voter next November.
