BEET GROWERS RECEIVE
$1.0O PER TON BONUS

The beet growers of this section this
week received checks from the Great
Western Sugar Co. as bonus Of 81 90
per ton for sugar beets delivered in
1919. With this bonus, as stated in
the last issue of this paper. the sugar
company disregards the proposal Of
the Mountain States Beet Growers
Association in regard to prices Of the
1920 crop and announces that a flat
price of $1,000 per ton will be paid
this year.
The beet growers of this section,
practically all of them being members
Of The Mountain States Beet Growers
Association, are unanimous in their
opinion that they should receive =
higher price for the 1920 crop and
have signified their intentions of not
signing beet contracts until further
advised by the Mountain States Beet
Growers Association.
Upon the payment of the $1.00 per
ton bonus for the 1919 beet crop the
price of sugar simultaneously went
soaring upward. and the "dear public"
must pay the bill, or 60 without the
sweet stuff. All indications are to
the effect that the beet growers are
going to the mat for finish fight
with the sugar barons, and it would
seem that the growers are going to
win their cause. which is indeed just
ore.

will be the attraction, and a large
crowd should be in attendance at this
event.
Gay Zenola MacLaren attends the

This, at once, places Miss MacLarenn
as an entertainer in class entirely
by herself. It is needless to- try to
compare her type of work to that Of
any other.
In preparing for her recitals she
attends only great productions, sees
the Interpretation only by the best &C.
tors, and in the leading playhouses of
her home city, New York. Miss Mac.
Laren frankly admits that her power
is not the result of years of study and
work although it has taken close ap-
plication and pains to develop and per-
feet it but Of . natural born gift for
mimicry. She does not claim to orig
mate the many characters she assumes
but to give a faithful reproduction Of
them as protrayed by the great art
lists and their supporting companies in
the original productions.
Season tickets for the community
lyceum course are being sold now at
one-fifth reduction, these tickets be-
ing good for the remaining four num-

BEET GROWERS REQUEST
$21 TON MAXIMUM AND
Sl2 TON AS MINIMUM

A sliding scale of prices for sugar
beets, ranging from $12 to $21 per tor
according to the seaboard refined
sugar price was adopted for the
entire country Tuesday by the Ma
tional Beet Growers Association con-
vention in session in Denver.
The minimum of SIP is based or
cent sugar, and for each advance Of
1 cent in the sugar price, the beet
growers demand an additional $1.5C
per ton for beets. The basis is now
laid for negotiations with the Great
Western Sugar company, which Of
fered flat rate of $12 per ton
Growers in other states, as we'll, will
present the scale to their respective
factories. While the national organ
ization stands behind this demand the
various state organizations may CON-
promise with the sugar companies on
lesser price in case a deadlock is
reached.
Demand 10 Compromise
The demand of the Mountain States
Sugar Beet Growers Association was
originally for one dollar per ton more
than the scale adopted in the con-
vention, which in itself, represented
a compromise reached by representa-
tives from every beet growing state
,on the price and contracts committee.
The Colorado delegation in the Noun
tain States Association, led by Fred
Cummings Of Fort Collins, president,
favored letting each factory district
thresh out their own price with the
companies. The stand taken by the
Colorado delegates resulted in the
price committee increasing its orig
inal scale from 81 to $2.25 ton. This
demand for local autonomy in prices
and a suggestion that the Mountain
States delegates, the largest group
in the convention, have not received
consideration due their strength were
the only intimations of lack Of har-
mony.
Cummings vsted Ceafideaee
At a separate meeting following
the regular convention session yester-
day the Mountain States delegates
veted confidence in Cummings, who
expressed fear that other states may
not be as well organized as Colorado,
and therefore might prove weak links
in a national organization.
Another important decision reached
was to increase the wages Of labor in
the sugar beet fields Is per cent dur
ing 1920. This means an advance OF
about - a month per acre cultivated
The percentage will be divided per
cent on thinning and 10 on pulling and
topping.
Labor Contract Left Open
A proposal from the labor contract
committee to give labor bonus of
81 for every ton above an average
yield of ten tons per acre was voted
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-01-29

out. 1t was decided to leave the bo.
nus question to the individual farm.
ers.
T. B. Jacobucci, Brighton delegate,
who is school commissioner there,
sounded a warning to the beet grow
ers that child labor in Colorado's beet
fields during the coming year will not
be tolerated.
The labor contracts committee re-
ported in favor of better homes for
sugar beet laborers, so that their
children will develop into better
American citizens" The committee
deemed it inadvisable to recommend
fixed price for labor owing to vary
ing conditions in different districts,
but advocated general raise Of Is
per cent "to promote better relations
between the grower and the labor
contractor"
Price Of Sugar Not Affected
r. v. Clark, chairman Of the price
committee, declared in his report that
the Interests Of the beet grower,
manufacturer and the public must be
considered in fixing a scale Of prices
for sugar beets." He asserted that
in demanding a scale which averages
about 81 ton more for beets than
Colorado growers have ever received
that it does not necessitate any ad-
vance in the price Of sugar to the
housewife.
Tom Farnsworth Of Windsor, Colo,
pleaded with the growers to stand by
the scale adopted.
"When we met President William
L. Petrikin of the Great Western
Sugar company recently I asked him" !"
said Mr.. Farnsworth, whether he
would accept the Mountain States As
sociation's proposal. Petrikin said he
would not. I then asked him wheth-
er he was willing to split the pro-
fits of the beet sugar industry $3.50
with the beet growers. And Petrikin
said he would not. You'll find many
growers in favor of flat rate be-
cause they can not understand this
sliding scale proposition, but we must
educate them"

By Brisys

VIENNA, Jan. ia strange trag-
edy, arising out Of a series of philo-
sophical discussions, has occurred
here.
Bertha Wohiscmuth, schoo!
teacher much addicted to literature
of an interpretive character. had ar
rived at the conclusion that life was
not worth living. She decided to die,
but lacked the courage to commit sui
eide.
She met a young student, with
whom she was unacquainted, in the
street, and persuaded him to accom-
pany her to a cafe. She read to him
three passages from Schopenhauer
and other philosophic works and con-
versed with him on abstruse matters.
The two subsequently met by agree
ment at the same cafe daily for a
fortnight, at the end Of which the
woman had contrived to persuade her
companion that this life was futile.
and that both would do wisely to
quit 1t.
An appointment was made, after an
evening spent at the theater for the
following morning at the rooms OF
the student. He and the young wom-
an there signed a statement that they
had voluntarily gone to their death.
The man first shot his companion and
afterward himself.

ON ECONOMY PROGRAM

Influential Republican members OF

They have set out on a quest for
improvements for their districts, and
increased wages for the Federal en-
,loyes among their constituents to
bolster their chances for renomina-
ions to Congress- They are raising
the cry now that the Republican
economy" program Is In reality a
'parsimony" program that will not be
-dorsed by the people.
Republican Leader MondeH states
there can be no additional bond is
sues, no new taxes, as there will be a
'~ficit of over a billion under present
revenues.
Defiance to this ultimatum was un-
