BEET GROWERS ORGANIZE

Denver, Dec. 15.-Western beet
growers want half the sugar pro-
duced from their beets or, they de-
clare, "there won't be any beets
next year." it was decided today at
the annual meeting of the Mountain
States Beet Growers association.
The growers voted to do away
with the sliding scale and the mini
mum price proposition after a
lengthy fight. This year they were
guaranteed $12 with a proportionate
increase based on the seaboard price
of sugar. The slump in the sugar
market was responsible for the
changed form of contract.
''What we want" said President
Fred Cummings, "is contract pro-
posal we can stand back of with the
threat Of putting in no beets unless

SAYS HOLD WHEAT
4 ON THE FARM

Fargo. Dec. 14.-In letter to the
press, J. A. McGovern calls atten-
tion to the farmers Of the fact that
in storing wheat in public elevators,
the law provides that the elevator
company, which issued the storage re
ceipt, has the option to deliver the
grain at the terminal point. or at
the place where received. It is
therefore unlikely that farmers who
would like to get a return of their
wheat to store on the farm, or else
where, will be able to do so. He
urges farmers, in holding wheat to
retain it on the farm, not to place
it in the visible supply by storing in
elevators before sale, and to affect
the sale as far as possible, to the
millers or elevators direct from the
farm. This means more farm gran
aries, but an eventual benefit to
the farmer in securing higher pric-
es for his grain. '

motioned him to his corner, believ-
ing that he had beaten the knockout
count on the 18th.
Dempsey said: Brennan was
tougher than I expected. He stood
up longer than I thot he would. His
blows didn't hurt me at any time,
but I found him a hard man to hit
properly"
Dempsey's manager said the
champion was not in the best of con-
dition, having trained too hard.
Dempsey expects to leave for the
Pacific coast tomorrow to remain
until late in February, when he will
come back to New York to train for
his match with Jesse Willard on St.
Patrick 'sday.

Genva, Dec. 15.-Proposal that the
league Of nations assume the duties,
which hithertofore have devolved
upon Holland under the internation-
al opium convention regulating traf-
fic in the drug, was taken up by the
assembly today.
The committee investigating the
subject recommended that the sec
retaries of the league collect inform
alton from the interested countries
and the subject be further investi-
gated by an advisory committee in
Guiding representatives from the
countries especially concerned, Hol-
land, Great Britain, France, India,
Japan, China and Portugal.
The committee report mentioned
the difficulty resulting from the alb
sence of the United States and Ger
many from the league and suggest
ed that il these governments could
not forward their information to the
league they might continue to COM
municate with Holland on the sub
ject.
During the discussion DR.. Yelling
ton Koo, of the Chinese delegation
said that efforts had been made by
China during more than century to
suppress the opium habit. He rec
ognized, he said, the great debt of
gratitude China owed the United
States for Americas 8 aid in this work
He was particularly pleased he said,
that the committee had decided the
United States should be especially
invited to send a representative to
meet with the advisory committee.
The committees suggestions were
adopted by the assembly, and the
subject of the "white slave" traffic
was taken up.
The propositions regarding this
traffic are tina: the countries which
l.1i iered to the International confer
ence of 1904 be invited to send del
egates to another international con-
ference before the next assembly;
also that the council appoint a COM
mittee to investigate deportation of
women and children in Asia Minor.
