ALBERT.
We do not hold with Kings-as such
In fact we nippantly have stated
That we'd not worry very much
II they were all exterminated.
The Kings Of whom We used to read
In hstorys romantic page
Great kings, in thought and word and deed
Belong to dim and distant ages.
But here's 4 King. who when his throne
Was topplsd by royal neighbor
without q murpur or q moan,
Exchanged his scepter for 4 sabre;
Who, with sturdy couarge that
No grief or hardship could diminish
Put on q troopers iron hat
And fought the struggle to finish.
He shared his humblest soldiers lot
He battled like q great crusader
Mid stress and storm--'mid shell and shot
He met the might of the invader
He cheered his people on TO fight
When hope Of victory seemed denied them,
We do not hold with kings-as such
We Yankees are not keen about them,
II would not pain US very much
II all the world should do without them
But here's Z king more nobly bred,
A King new crowned with shining gores
Tho kind Of King Of whom read
Long years ago--n fairy stories!

STATE INSISTS THAT
. MARION COUNTY TAX0
! REMITTANCE is SLOW

Considerable interest attaches to the
controversy which wages between the
state treasurer's office and d. ". Dra-
ger, treasurer of Marion county, rela-
tive to the question of whether or not
this county Is delinquent in the pay
ment of It's taxes because of the fall
ure to remit the same to the state
by November /. Drager has taken eX-
ceptions to published statements to
the effect that q penalty equivalent to
six per cent per year was being levied
upon the last half OF Marion county's
taxes because of failure to remit by
November 1. Drager contends that he
still has until December l to make
the remittance before the penalty be-
comes effective and is withholding
payment until that time because the
delay will mean a saving of approxi-
Imately $225 to the county through in
terest earned in the extra month.
| In q letter sent out by Deputy State
Treasurer Joe Richardson today Dra-
ger is again advised that the county Is
regarded as being delinquent in the
payment of the tax and that the pen
atty is now running. The letter tc
,Drager reads as follows.

THE FARMER AND BEETS.

| AS an illustration Of what the beet
sugar industry means to the west and
how deeply the farmer is interested IN
it's successful development, the follow
ing figures from one company we'll IL
lustrate:
In addition to the figures shown by
the Great Western, there is the Amer
lean Beet Sugar, the Idaho, the
Amalgamated, the Holly and several
other companies, all with probably
the same proportionate increase.
The total which will be paid farm
ers for sugar beets in the states of
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Cal
ifornia, Washington and Nebraska
will undoubtedly run we'll over $780,
100000.
The total acreage of beets contract
ed for by the Great Western Sugar
company in Colorado alone now
amounts to about 10000 acres, COM
pared with $4,000 acres last year. Just
how much additional acreage will be
offered cannot be stated at this time.
The two conspicuous thoughts
brought out by these figures is the
large cash revenue to the agricultural
territory of northeastern Colorado,
the general industrial impetus inspir-
ed thereby in contrast to the apathy
in the general industrial activity of
our country at the present time. The
revenue from 100000 acres of beets
averaging twelve tons per acre at
$1.O0 per ton, to the farmers of north
eastern Colorado, will amount to $780,
100000. This is quite a contrast to
the harvested acreage of 10000 acres
in this same territory last year. Since
commercial activity is universally re-
garded as the grand specific antidote
for Bolshevism, the beet sugar indus
try of the United States promises tc
be an important contributor to the re.
establishment of American industrial
standards.
This additional acreage will require
thousands of extra laborers. This ir
turn means increased business fol
many othe rlines Of industry. The
beet sugar industry is helping solve
employment problems for returning
soldiers as out of the $40 men enlist.

Of the graves registration section.
They set out on their solemn mis-
sion equipped with pick, shovel and

into the ground for the identity of
the dead warrior, sometimes they fer
ret into the recesses Of discarded dug
outs and sometimes they clear away
the brush of the forest to find some
track of the victims of battle.
Each cemetery where Americans
have been buried is fully plotted on

vice is now extending every energy
to complete the burying, marking, re-
