Beet GROWERS
. MEET TO PLAN
Farmers Want Protec.
ton for Risk They
Have to Take
SLIDING SCALE

In order to strengthen their or
ganiation in this county the men,
bers of the local beet grawers' asso-
citation held a meeting Friday after
noon at the Isis theatre. The meet
ing was presided over by Arthur
Manwaring, president of the tempor-
ary organization, who told them
what had hitherto been accom-
plished.
W. F. Bergman, cashier of the
Standrod bank, spoke to the assem-
bled growers in the name Of the
commercial club. He asked their
cooperation with the club in matters
of production and sale of the beets.
His request was met with ready
response from the growers.
G. G.. Patterson, secretary of the
IntermOuntain Farmers association,
addressed the meeting on the sub
ject of general cooperation among
farmers. He read them plans COW
ering the acreage of beets and the
prices to be demanded. 1t was the
sense of the meeting by vote that
a local branch Of the association be
lOl uCu, duu d AuulUOIt VI CIlC
men signed up. Arthur Manwaring
was made Blackfoot trustee for the
local association. Bishop John r.
Williams was appointed for Thomas
precinct.
About forty men attended the
meeting, which was very successful
in results.
A contract drawn up by the Inter-
mountain Farmers association and
presented to all members for their
consideration, contains the following
sliding scale for beet prices:
When sugar is cents pound the
farmer shall get SO ton for his
beets.
When sugar sells for 9 cents, $12
a ton.
When 10 cents, $14 a ton.
When II cents, $1e ton.
When 13 cents, $40 ton.
When IA cents, $22 ton.
When Is cents, $24 ton.
These charges are based on an in
crease of operating cost in making
sugar of about 240 per cent since
before the war. The argument made
is that sugar is sure product, while
the farmer takes the risk Of losing
his crop from various causes. There
fore, it says, the farmer should re-
ceive something for his risk.

Need Another Juror
Before New May Be
Tried for Murder

Los Angeles, Dec. l6.-Eleven
jcrors had been accepted tentatively
when adjournment was taken late
today in the trial in the superior
court here of Harry New, alleged
son of Senator Harry S. New of In
diana, charged with the murder of
Miss Freda Lesser, his sweetheart.
Two were women. g.
Judge Gavin w. Craig indicated
he might order a night session to-
morrow if greater speed was not
shown in examination of prospective
jurors.
Lecompte Davis, leading counsel
for New, made it clear the defense
offered would be insanity. ...
Thomas Lee Woolwine, district
attorney, who, with Deputy Asa
Reyes, is prosecuting the case, an
nounced the state would not at
tempt to prove New is an intel
lectual giant" but maintained he was
intelligent enough to be held re-
sponsible for his acts. Many of his
questions were seemingly framed
with the idea of ascertaining whether
the talesman believed man of what
he termed dull" mentality should
be punished-if he committed a crime.
The name of Senator New was
mentioned early in the proceedings.
Mr.. Woolwine asked talesmen if
they were acquainted with Senator
New or any of his relatives and said
he thought it possible testimony
might be introduced regarding al
legged circumstances of News birth
and alleged relations of News
mother, Mrs. Lille M. Berger. with
Senator New.

Supreme Court Decisions
Leak Not Yet Discovered

Washington, Dec. 16-Numerous
conferences were held by officials of
the Department of Justice in an eff
fort to develop if there really was
anything criminal in alleged. leaks
of supreme court decisions. Official
comment. was refused, but it was
made clear that the government re-
garded the premature publication of
its Investigations as extremely I'M
fortunate.
No evidence has been discovered
to warrant the prosecution of any
persons investigated, and it was
said further inquiry into statements
by individuals that they had ad-
vance information of decisions by
which they could make fortunes in
the stock market had been handi-
capped by the publicity.
An attorney employed in the De-
partment of Justice, who was men
toned as one of the persons con-
cerned in the alleged leaks, has not
been removed or otherwise dis
ciplined, it was said. James D..
Maher, clerk of the supreme court,
issued statement denying there had
been any leak in his office.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Unusual strength in
the corn market today resulted largely
from anticipation of the passage of the
Edge foreign finance bill. Prices closed
buoyant, 17sc to SIC net higher, with
January s1Ss% to $1.3s%, and May
s1.347s to s1.35. Oats gained 1&c to SIC
and provisions so cents to $3.50.
Bullish sentiment as to corn began to
develop as soon as trading opened At
first, the chief factor was the meager
ness of receipts together with the prospect
that owing to preference given to coal on
the railroads, no increase Of supplies
would be looked for in the immediate fu-
ture. Higher quotations on hogs tended
further to lift prices, and so likewise did
an advance in sterling. Then came gos-
sip that the enactment of the Edge bill
was assured At once demand broadened
out, especially as it was announced that
the president would sign the bill without
delay and that export sales of wheat and
cats to France had already commenced.
Heavy buying on the part of houses
with seaboard connections made oats even
stronger than corn. Cash lots command
ed the best figures yet this season.
Provisions scored the steepest ascent
in some time. The causes were the same
that gave impetus to grain.

Radical Measure Of
North Dakota House
Is Unconstitutional

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. l6.--Housc
bill No, 90, passed at the recent spe-
cal session of the North Dakota
legislature and which would give
immediate effect to every measure
adopted at the session, is uncon-
stitutional, according to an opinion
by Attorney General William Lam
ger. The opinion was given at the
request of Carl Kositsky, state au-
ditor. The latter inquired as 10
whether section 81 of the state con-
stitution providing that only acts re-
ceiving two-tilirds majority vote in
each house is emergency legislation
and given immediate effect, applied
to regular as well as special sessions
of the state assembly.
The attorney general says the
constitution applies to both special
and regular sessions and unless
two-thirds vote is received, meas
ures are not classed as emergency
laws and would not become effective
until July |.

Though the fuel restrictions have
been raised in Omaha, gas stoves
are still being used for heat in the
