WHY NOT WORK TOGETHER

Recently there have been meetings
Of sugar beet growers and beet sugar
manufacturers in western beet sugar
centers such as Denver and Salt Lake.
There has been a great deal of loose
talk from different sources about the
price of sugar.
1t would appear that some persons
would be glad to lead the public to be-
lieve that crime has been commit
ted in allowing the beet sugar indus
try to develop and actually prosper
the last year or SO.
The long struggle of 20 years, when
sugar beet growing and manufacture
was in the experimental and non-prof-
liable period, is lost sight Of.
Sugar beet growing and sugar man
ufacture must exist together.
The manufacturer is interested in
paving the grower the highest possi-
BILE price to increase production. The
grower is interested in prosperous
factory that can take his beets.
Even though the farmers owned the
factories as some persons agitate, they
could not pay themselves greater
price for beets than would allow the
factory to meet outside competition.
Sugar manufacture now has a good
start here in the west and growers and
manufacturers must work in close
harmony for their own self protec-
tion.

A PERSONAL INTERVIEW WITH

In order that readers Of News

ton regarding just how it feels to
have a bout with the "flu" the man.
agement, sparing ro expense nor pains
(emphasis on pains), sent the editor,
himself, for an interview with the de-
mon.
Here's what it feels like:
1t feels as though some representa-
tive of His Satanic Majesty were set
ting off enormous charges of INT in
your cranial cavity supposed to con-
tain useful gray matter. You are
stretched upon a rack of medieval
times, and stretched, and stretched,
and stretched. The stretch all takes
place in your back, which according
TO your sensation has become about
five blocks long; your arms and legs
are normal. Then, they run an army
tank up and down your spine, the
the treads of the tank being equipped
with 6-inch spikes, causing 10000
stabs of pain as the rumbling, roar
ing contraption perambulates up and
down your backbone. 1t stands on one
end, turns round and round, lays over
on its side, and performs other favor
ite tricks of the breed in that region
of your anatomy which was formerly
the small of your back, multiplying
ten thousand fold the agony centered
there.
That's about all there is to il. If
you can stand this for three or four
days and have sense enough to obey
your doctor, you're all right until
You try to go to work. And, then
You simply are not there" That's
all. A block seems a mile, an hours
dictation a week, a simple problem
in judgment a colossal. complicated,
unsolvable enigma.
If you haven't had it. you've missed
something.
But you've nothing to regret.

LIGHTS CAUSE EYE TROUBLE
UNLESS CARE is TAKEN

Too much emphasis can not be laid
upon the danger resulting from the
improper use of the modern, power
full lighting units such as the nitro
gen filled incandescent electric
lamps, is the advice of L. S. Foltz of
the Colorado Agricultural College.
The steadily increasing prevalence
of defective vision is mute testimony
of this danger. If possible, discard
the old and unsightly lamp cord with
its bare lamp. 1t belongs with the
PAST. Have the walls and ceilings
of your rooms of light color and
use lighting units that conceal the
source of light. See that no reflec-
tion from polished desk tops and
calendered paper enters the eyes.
The eyes are very sensitive to the
entrance of light from below as any
one having had experience with sun
light reflected from snow well knows.
Sem;-indirect units are good for
parlors and sitting rooms but for Of
fices the total indirect units with
light colored walls and ceilings are
far better.

What the Red Flag Really Means

A few definitions are in order.
One of them concerns the red flag
which has been so widely displayed
uganda and which is acclaimed by its
followers as the symbol of liberty.
Since we already have in this country
flag of red, white and blue which
we have associated with that term, it
becomes appropriate to inquire what
Interpretation OF Liberty" the red
followers have in mind. Clearly it is
something different from our own or
they would not need another flag to
express it. In this matter, as in most
other matters, actions speak louder
than words. Red actions have spoken
most loudly in Russia, and it is there
that we can get our best idea of the
red purpose toward liberty.
One Russian fact stands out prom
inently-the red purpose toward lib
erty of the bourgeoisie; and this
brings US to our second definition:
Who constitute the bourgeoisie?
In plain language they are the pro-
ductive class of the nation. Any man
or woman who has farm, a shop, a
store or a factory, large or small. or
who gives employment to a single
other person, is bourgeois. America
is largely bourgeois and every work
ing man will become a member Of the
bourgeoisie if he prospers. In other
words, there are no hard and fast
classes, but constant change and
progression. For the proletariat to
advocate destruction Of the bour-
geoisie is for the present to attempt
the destruction of the future.
The doctrine of class distinction and
class consciousness is anti-American
and is menacing to the fundamental
principles of our nation. 1t is per-
haps the most primary difference be-
tween bolshevism and Americanism.
It is the fruit of Russian Tyranny and
has no place in free America.
