who have no standing in law, and
whose signatures can give Mr..
Meredith no protection in law, but
they succeed.
A Friend of Boys
Meredith believes in people, and
he believes in boys. When he finds
a boy who@want to go into the stock

money to buy an animal or two for

him time to raise the animal and
pay off the debt.
There are hundreds of young men
scattered over the Mississippi val

CITY TO HAVE
own WATERWORKS
Council Takes First
Steps Toward Pro-
viding Municipal
System
USE DEEP WELLS
Mount Putnam Project
Will Not be Given
Up BY City

The city of Blackfoot is to have
a municipal water system according
to plans formulated at the meeting
of the council Wednesday night. A
motion was passed which stated that
the city council should take immedi-
ate action to provide the city with
an adequate deep we'll water system
with the distribution SO constructed
to permit the addition of the gravity
system if desired at a later date.
With the decision of the council
to install a deep we'll system came
the announcement that the Mount
Putnam project would not be given
up but steps would be taken to &C
quire water rights and protection to
the city in future years when the
growth of the city wouldspermit the
installation Of that project.
Representatives of the commercial
and rotary clubs were present and
talked to the council on the plans
for water system. They agreed that
the Putnam project would be too
expensive for the city to handle at
present but urged that the plan be
worked on for protection at later
date.
The present water system was dis
cussed and il was pointed out that
it is inadequate for the needs of the
city and even in case of the city ac-
quiring it, it would be necessary to
reconstruct it.
Several estimates have been fur
nished the city on a new water sys-
TEN but the council took no action
on them other than deciding on the
deep well proposition.
The paving question which was to
have been discussed was continued.

GROWERS WANT
new CONTRACT
Utah Farmers in Session
at Salt Lake Ask for
Share in Profits
of Refneries
Local Men in Attend
ance During Tues
day Meeting

Utah beet growers have rejected
the offer of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company of fiat rate of $12 for
beets during the 1920 season and
are definitely standing for a sliding
scale which will give the. growers a
chance to share with the refineries
the chances for both large and small
profits.
This conclusion was reached dur
ing the state convention of Utah
Farm bureaus held at Salt Lake City
Tuesday afternoon. The session was
turned over to the beet growers the
entire afternoon and the question of
1920 contracts was brought up and
fully discussed. Beet growers Of
Idaho were invited to attend the
meeting owing to the fact that both
states deal with the same refineries,
but only D. A. Stone, Marion Ginger
and John F. Munson of this section
attended.
A tentative contract has been
worked out which meets with the
approval of the Utah growers but al
though representatives of the vari-
GUS sugar companies were present
at the Salt Lake meeting they an
nounced they were not yet ready to
make a statement on it because of
the unsettled condition of the sugar
market. The contract which, It is
stated, conforms to those made in
middle western sugar producing
states, and is the first definite effort
on the part Of western states to place
their sugar production upon a basis
in close conformity 10 the market
prices paid for the finished product.
While factory representatives did not
place themselves on record as being
favorable to the proposed contract
they gave the understanding that a
profit-sharing system in the con-
tracts would not be unacceptable. :
The contract approved by the Utah
beet growers has for it's most i'm
portant clause, "Ane company agrees
to pay to the grower on the fifteenth
day of each month $11 per ton for
beets delivered the preceding cal
endar month. The company further
agrees to pay the grower on January
Is, 1921, an amount per ton for
beets delivered during 1920 in ad-
dition to the price given above, an
amount sufficient to make up in
price one and one-fourth times the
average seaboard price of each bag
of sugar for the calendar year Of
1920" Other clauses gives the
grower the right to purchase the
screened pulp at 80 cents per ton to
the amount of 20 per cent of the
weight of beets delivered.
Eleven counties of Utah approved
the tentative contract.
