ASK BIG DAMAGES

Besides asking for "a ruling of the in
terstate commerce commission to put the
grocers and the packers on the same ba-
sis in regard to transportation facilities,
the grocers organization is asking dam
ages of $4,000 of the railroads for al
legged loss of business resulting from the
privileges said to be accorded the pack
ers
Edward Watkins of Atlanta, Ga, for
mer interstate commerce commission ex-
aminer, is representing the grocers' as
ISOLATION as its attorney, while the pack
ers and several of the larger railroads
have eight local representatives. A num-
Der of traffic and transportation experts
from various parts of the country also
are attending.
1t was alleged by witnesses today that
foodstuffs and other articles handled by
the grocers are carried in the privately
owned refrigerator or peddler cars with
meats and other perishables and distrib-
uted along the route to customers of the
packers. One rate from point of origin
to final destination with addition only of
ment as a result of the perishable con-
tents of the cars are thus obtained by the
packers the witnesses asserted. In eff
feet, it was said, the packers get carlot
rates on less than carload shipments,
and because of this can sell at lower
prices and give more regular delivery
service to the retailers along the routes.
Much of the compliments testimony
was entered on the records over the pro-
tests of the opposing attorneys.

SUGAR COMPANY HAS
STARTED CAMPAIGN
Alma Plant of Michigan Cor
pOratiOr Was Opened for
Annual Run Today.

The Alma plant of the Michigan
Sugar company was opened this
morning for the annual fall cam
paign, with prospects of the bright
est for run of three months at
least, and possibly for a longer per-
iod.
During the summer months some
thousands of dollars have been spent
by the sugar company in repair work
to get the factory in first-class con-
dition for the run and it is expected
that there will be little trouble ex-
perinced in the various departments
as a result. Among the improve
ments which have been made during
the past summer has been the almost
entire rebuilding of the extensive
beet sheds at the rear at the plant.
The company had large acreage
this year, there having been over
10000 acres of beets under contract.
A small part of this acreage was
ruined but there is a huge acreage
that is now being harvested.
1t is reported that the beets will
have a heavy tonnage this year IN
this part of the state, but that the
sugar content will not be as heavy
as had been expected, late rains
which started the beets to growing
again, having kept down the sugar
percentage, while boosting the ton
mage.
During the past two weeks hun
dreds of wagon loads of beets have
been hauled to the factory, and many
carloads have also been received. and
when the factory opened this morn
ing for the campaign, the sheds were
were well filled with beets. If fair
weather continues during the next
few weeks, it is certain that the
company will be able to cut to capac-
ity, and thus cut down the length of
the run. Poor weather is very liable
to slow up the slicing, because of
the increased difficulty with which
the farmers will meet in bringing
their beets to the factory.

EASY VICTORY
High SchOolers Romped Over st.
Louis High in Easy Style.

The Alma high school football team
returned to form in Tuesdays battle
with the st. Louis high school eleven
and trampled on that aggregation to
the tune Of AZ to 0 on the st. LOUIS
gridiron.
Alma opened the game by kicking
to ST. Louis and soon after the kick
off intercepted a pass, which was car
ried over, and from that time on St.
Louis did not have a good scoring
opportunity, being compelled to play
defensive game for the greater
portion Of the bout as the local We're
in possession of the ball for the
greater part of the game.
Three touchdowns in the first period
and two came in each of the succeed
ing quarters of the grid battle. Only
one goal was kicked during the game.
The Alma team displayed the best
brand of scrap that it has shown this
season, and had it played the same
stellar football in the previous con-
tests would not have lost a single
game.
Stan Sartor, Ellis, and Creech were
the main lights in the victory of the
local team. Captain O'Melia of the
st. Louis aggregation was the star
for his eleven.
