GIRL GETS BACK HER LAND

SAN FRANCISCO, CALF. Jan., Z Miss Sybil Powers, ceased being |

 According to Attorney M. F.. Har- rison, representing Miss Powers, Sh" became the ward of Mrs. Kate C. Perry just prior to inheiting the es- tate from her parents. The day Miss Powers became eighteen years of age. according to papers filed in the case, Mrs. Perry took her to an attorney } office, where she secured a promiSory note, together with absolute right to all rentals and income from the prop. erty. From that time on, according to testimony in court, Mrs. Perry kept Miss Powers in the dark as to finan- cial matters. The girl finally demand ed her property, only to find it tied up in a maze of legal complications. She then began suit to recover the es. tate.

As highest and fairest of face,
He would ''tie" every entree at goal

NO CHANGE N 1919 PRSCE
OF SUGAR DEET0

The board Of directors of tie Great
Western Sugar company have au-
thoFixed The issuance Of contraets
naming the 1919 price Of sugar beets
at SO per ton flat to farmers in the
Colorado. Wyoming, Nebraska and
Montana districts served by the COM
pany. This is the same price paid
last season, and it is regarded as
strikingiy, significant of the general
prosperity of the beet sugar industry
in the West that with all consump-
tiOn restrictions on sugar lifted and
should still be able to obtain a war
time price for this one product
On Dec. 10 last officials of the
Great Western Sugar company dis
cussed the contract question with
delegation of farmers from the four
states served, and it was explained at
that time that available information
as TO the future course of the sugar
market was very meager, making it
impossible to forecast possibilities for
the period from Oct. l, 1919, to Oct.
!, 1920, during which sugar made
from beets grown in 1919 will be mar
keted. Despite this inability TO OBJ
tam an accurate gauge on the indus
try, the board directors have mailed
to all factory managers a letter au-
thOrizing the $40 per ton price and
giving orders for the immediate print
ing of contracts to be placed in the
hands of the company's field staff.
How big an acreage of sugar beets
Colorado growers will plant in 1919 is
wholly problematical, and officials of
the Great Western company, which
owns ten of the fifteen sugar factories
in this state. are unwilling to hazard
any guess. Last year the planted
acreage for Colorado was 142 900 in
contrast with normal acreage nearer
10000. The 1918 season was far un-
der normal for various reasons due to
war time conditions. The question of
price agitation, government investiga-
tior, the scarcity of labor and the
high price of wheat, which induced
many farmers to stick almost ex-
c!usively to the raising of that pro-
duct, had great deal to do with the
fact that about 20 per cent less sugar
beets were grown last year. The fact
that the Great Western company in
1918 paid $ll 100000 to Colorado
sugar beets growers, and $5.51O,OO0
to the sugar beet growers of Nebras-
ka. Wyoming and Montana is indica-
tive, however. of the general prosper
ity enjoyed by an industry that is
primarily of the West
Altho officials of the Great Western
company will not attempt to estimate
acreage figures for 1919, it is gen.
orally believed that the next acreage
will run very close to normal again
in view of the fact that there will be

that many wartime problems vill
have been swept away.
