cent home building meeting has been
doing some active work in the last

ready to announce the beginning Of

They believe that action just now Is
more needed than talk and are going
to set an example which it is hoped
many others will follow. Over $4,000
worth of stock has been sold.

4 Word To Beet Growers

have been informed of the condi-
tion in regard to the dissatisfaction
about the sugar beet contracts for
1920. understand it is flat price
tof $1,000 per ton. / can remember
last fall ard winter when talking to
my neighbors about raising beets for
1920. we all said if we could get $1,000
next year we would double our acre
age. But We are offered S12.00. 1t
may be we should have more but how
are we going to know under present
conditions. Futures are very uncertain
both for us and for the company. |
have jus. read the article written by
my friend, The Famous Writer, w. A.
Leonard, and / am also in favor of a
flat rate for beets in our locality. II
we could raise high test beet in our
county then it might pay to kick for
a sliding scale. But with our splendid
soil and plenty of water we keep our
beets growing until it is about all we
can expect to get, ~ or 10 per cent
beets. So sliding scale would do no
good in this case. / have been here
in Los Angeles, California, about two
months, and have inquired some into
the beet situation. In the vicinity of
hOxnard. where Mr. Fred Noble is man
ager of tho beet factory. they have
their beets about all planted and some
urc thilrirg. Mr. Ernest Below.
formerly of Lamar factory. is one of
Mr.. Mobiles assistants. was talking
TO Mr.. Below in regard to the growing
of beets for sugar here in comparison
with growing them in Lamar vicinity.
/ He tells me- the farmers at Lamar
will make as much money at $1,000
flat rate as the Oxnar.i country will
on II sliding scale. The sliding sea-,
here is equal to about so cents for
every / per cent sugar. If the beets
test 20 per cent it would bring SIC 90
per ton. Now this Oxnard country
grows a high per cent beet. but their
average in tons is about oirht tons
per acre. But in addition 70 this slid
ing scale ccrtrac. they have n clause
in the contact whereby if sugar goes
Go a certain price. the growers got
come more money. But that is in .he
future. Now | am for high pr,-H
FOR bects If the company ear give it,,
but | d1a't want to go on record as a
labor union;tr. We konw what they
hrc asking. Hero beets average about
G tons per acre with an average of
about 20 per cent sugar. that at so
cents for every / per cwt. sugar
would figure $1,000 per ton. Eight
IONS per acro would be S12S per acre.
Now, if We get $1,000 per ton. and
average ~ tons per acre we get Sl44
tper acre. Irrigation water here costs
Iabout four times as much as ours, and
their investment in land is about three
tirnsE rs much as ours. So you see

CARPENTER IN
EXCELLENT FORM

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Both Georges
Carpenter and Battling Levinsky are
in excellent condition for their twelve
round bout in the Jersey ball park to-
night.
Carpenter is pronounced in perfect
shape for this. his first real test on
American soil. The noted French box
er is the picture Of the perfect athlete.
There is no sign OF war strain and II
is probable that he is now a much
better ring fighter than he was when
he took up arms in defense Of his
country.
The French champions appearance
has improved greatly. He is no long
er the pale, weary-eyed youth that ue
was when he first made his appear
ance here. His eyes are now bright,
his cheeks rosy and his muscles stand
out so that he looks TO be larger and
far more formidable tina before he
began to prepare for the present bout.
Levinsky also finished training IN
apparently perfect condition. He has
removed most Of the surplus flesh
that he carried into the ring for his
last few bouts. and he now looks like
the vicious fighter of e few years back.
At that time he was head and should
ers in class above the numerous heavy
weights he faced and defeated.
1t is possible that Levinsky has been
burned out inside from the years Of
training and hard fighting he has put
in, but only the rigor of tonight's clash
will tell that. lie appears TO have re-
gained all his old-time speed and
stamina and is hitting harder than
ever, although he was never a success
as a knocker-out.

GREENvILLE, S. C. oct. 12.-oni-
GERS of the Greenvile baseball club
yesterday fatty refused to lease their
ball park for an exhibition ball game
IN which Joe jackson and Claude Will

men proposed to organize two teams

nounced refusal.
It is reported that an owner OF an
apartment house in Greenville declined
to rent the ball players an apartment

OSWEGO WILL
TRY TO SIGN
CARPENTER

George Oswego. promoter OF the
East Chicago boxing rena left tor
New York yesterday afternoon to wiz
ness the Carpentier-Levinsky fight and
at the same time sign up Carpenter Il
possible for g. bout at the East Chi
cago arena on the evening OF October
p. The opponent has not yet been de-
cided upon but probably Greb viii be
given an opportunity TO meet the
French champ.
b Will be the first evening fight to
be staged at the East Chicago arena
but the management has made ar
engagements for lighting and other
features which a night show would
make necessary. The wire fence
which was erected around the arena
last week was put up for just such a
show in order to e1ectually keep any
from slipping in in the dark. Elec-
tricIans are ready as soon as Carpen-
tier Is signed to so into the park and
wire 1t complete for lights.
Although last Saturdays fight was
announced as the last open air fight
the management may decide to take q
chance on making the Carpenter go
an open air affair. If the weather be-
tween the present and that time Is
good the fight will be open air but IL
the weather is bad a force OF car
penters will be rushed TO the job and
the entire arena will be enclosed. or
course II the weather turns bad a day
or so before the fight time the man
sGsment Will be out OF luck.
The Friday night Innovation IS sx-
pected to increase the crowd over that
st previous shows. The Saturday sf-
ternoon shows have not drawn the
crowd that they should have had and
Oswego thinks that more will be able
to attend II the fights are held on Fri
day night.
