DID SOMEONE TRY
TO "FRAME-UP"
THE NEW MARSHAL

During the past week reports have
been circulated throughout the city
that the new city marshal. Lott Rob-
inson, had been, or would be arrested,
for selling hard cider. The rumors
caused considerable comment. and
the Mayor and City Council immed-
lately took the matter up, and made
thorough investigation.
1t appears that some OF our good
citizens had gone to Couniilman Chip
man and Informed him that the new
marshal was selling cider. Council
man Chapman. who is on the police
committee, ordered Nightwatchman
Duncan to investigate the matter.
Duncan did so. found some cider in
Robinson's cellar. and took a bottle
down to the City Hall to have II
tested He made no arrests or could
he find where Mr.. Robinson had sold
any cider. Mr. Robinson told him
the cider was there for vinegar. Then
the Mayor and Council took the mat !.

PRICE OF BETS FOR
1920 NOT AGREED upon

The delegates 70 the Utah State
Farm Bureau convention which was
held in Salt Lake Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. had three days busy
session. but came to no definite con-
clusion with the sugar factories peo-
pie. as to the price to be paid for
beets for 1920.
The beet growers discussed questions
relative to the 1920 contracts with
the refineries, and while no action
was taken on definite understand
ing with the refineries IL was made
apparent that the farmers will de-
mand with considerable vigor that
the contracts that are finally made
make provision for the sharing of
business chances for both big profits
and little profits by the farmers and
the factories.
The farm bureau has already work
ed out tentative contract, to which
its members have given their full APP
proval. But one company in the state
the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, has
az yet announced its contract price
for the 1920 contract at $l2 per ton.
Representatives of the Amalgamated
Sugar company and number Of
smaller factories said at the meeting
that they are not yet redy for such
an announcement because OF the I'M
settled condition of the sugar market
The contract approved by the farm
bureau includes the following pro-
visions:
"The company agrees to pay to the
grower on the fifteenth day Of each
month $11 per ton for beets delivered
the preceding calendar month. The
company further agrees to pay to the
grower on January Is, 1921, an amount
per ton for beets delivered during
1920 in addition to the price given
above sufficient to make up In price
one and one-fourth times the aver
age seaboard price on each bag OF
| sugar TOT lne tullIc 'hiSiuoi 'N"'
of 1920"
Proiit-sharlng Involved.
II was stated at the meeting that
this contract conforms to those made
in middle western sugar-producing
states. II is the first definite effort
on the part OF the farmers OF Utah
TO place their beet sugar production
upon a basis in close conformity 10
the market prices paid for the fin
ished product, While the factory
representatives did not place them
selves on record as fayoring the spe'
cific contract, they let 1t be under
stood that some profit-sharing sys
EN- in the contracts would not be un'
acceptable to them.
| A committee of farmers was ap
pointed to confer with the various
sugar refineries OF the state before
] the matter Of conracts will be de
, finitely determined, II Is said al
agreement will be reached within
! two weeks or less.
