CAMPAIGN FOR
CONTRACTS START
OFF VERY WELL

The Colorado Packing Corporation
sent its field men out this morn 'ng on
their final campaign for tomato acre
age contracts While II is too early
to give any definite report, it is known
that the men are being received cor
dia ly and iwth consideration and sew
erai contracts have already been
signed up Quite number of ac- es
we're signed up Thu sday, one of them
being for 10 acres.
The company desires to get each
grower to take as many acres as he
can possibly care for, btu acreage as
low as quarter of an acre is being
accepted cordially
One man in Park Center saw one of
the field men this morning. and said :
Put me down for five acres. l have
made arrangements with the Park
Center Ditch Company to get water
enough to irrigate that much, and I
certainly want to do It. not only for
my own benefit. but for the good of the
canning company as well. Last year
/ grew tomatoes and some of them
were badly sun scorched. / thought
tiSs were total loss TO me. but half
hearsed'y took them to the plant and
the management paid me full price for
them. although / knew that IN order
to use them they would have to do a
great deal of trimming and cutting.
THAT little incident showed me
their heart was in The right place, and
that they were ready and willing at
all times and under all conditions to
meet the grower more than half way II
/ .-e. was in trouble. ! am for them
strong. and I am going to tackle five
acres this year"
Last year in some sections the toma.
toes were badly hailed and stood to
lose great deal OF money. but this
reporter has found growers in that
area who say that the canning com.
pany told them to bring their tomatoes
in hail or no hail and they would be
given full price for them. despite the
fact that the contract made it posi-.
Bile for the company TO refuse the dam.
aged tomatoes entirely. or at the most
only give reduced price for them
The same was true of the cherry
crop. which also was hailed The
next morning after the hail officials
of the company telephoned those who
had contracts and told them TO bring
in the cherries regardless of the con-
dition. and they were given full con-
tract price or where they were unusu-
ally damaged. within cent or two of
the contract
The policy OF the company is TO be
absolutely fair in every respect. and
TO aid the grower and to meet him
more than half way in every instance
Those of the growers who have had
experience along this line are not hes
itating to sign the contracts this year
They know that it is a matter of mu-
tual advantage.

Why is William s. Hart one of the
greatest drawing cards in the silent
drama? First. he is the ablest eN-
ponent of the romantic characters Of
the rapidly passing frontier, even
seen on the screen. Second, he is an
actor whose individuality is sub
merged in every character he por-
trays. Third, all of his characteriza-
tions bear the imprint of his genius
as student of manly representations
ed, brave men of an almost bygone
age whose lives were the embodiment

of N;r;'e romance. Foutht, by his
~, MIR, Hart has brought to the
screen 4 series Of portraits which,
cnye seen, viii ever live in the mem
ory Of spectators. Every picture in
which he appears is superior in con-
ception, treatment and finish to its
predecessor. so that when Breed Of
Men, his latest photoplay directed by
himself under the supervision of

be unhesitatingly asserted by his ad-
mirers to be the best in which he has

BIG MONEY IN SOCIALISM
(Kansas City starl

thdhSaS CIty GIarJ
 Pittsburg, Kas.-The Appeal to Req son, the socialist weekly paper or Girard, as a money maker was shown in the suit of Mrs. Meade T. Hargiss of Pittsburg and Mrs. H. H. Stephen son of Ann Arbor, Mich, against ther brothers, Walter H. Wayland and John Wayland of Gnard.
 Mrs. Hargiss and Mrs. Stephenson this week were given a verdict for s75,000 against their brothers. They sued for division of the estate of their father, J. A. Wayland, founder of the Appeal to Reason, who com- mitted suicide in Girard in November, 1911.
 At the trial at Amarillo, Texas, where the late J. A. Wayland owned property, it was brought out that in 1911 the socialist paper made a profit of s53,000. The next year the profits dropped to s35,O0O but rose again to $56,000 the following year.
 Mrs. Hargiss and Mrs. Stephenson were told by their brothers that their father intended the Appeal to go to the sons. A letter which the late J. 4. Wayland wrote to a friend, stating that the daughters were to have a half interest in the Appeal figured prominently in the trial
 During the war the socialist paper was operated as the New Appeal. Re- gently the old name of the paper was resumed

custom is rapidly disappearing, and rightfully so.
 We have big questions before us this day One of these is government ownership of public utilities. Few know anything about government ownership other than what they hear or read. But government ownership will be a paramount issue in party platforms in years tocome, and it re- wolves upon thei individual to study it out for himself To vote as he sees the proposition, not because this or that is a plank in the platform of any par ticular party"

 The salutatory was delivered by Clarence Bennett, followed by the vale dictory by James Grand. Miss Jennie Lorenz then sang "The Valley of Laughter by Sanderson.
 Following the commencement ad- dress by pr. Roberts, the orchestra gave another selection, after which Daniel r. Jantzen, principal of the high
