BEET GROWERS IN
STRUCTED TO USE
OWN DISCRETION
Final Statement of Organization Officials Object
to Great Westerns Proposition for 1920
Beets; Will Enter Negotiations
for 1921 Price

The controversy over the price OF
sugar beets of l92O's crop was end
ed Monday by formal announcement
from the Mountain States Beet Grow
ers' association authorizing its mem
bers to use their own discretion as to
price and acreage. This leaves the
price of twelve dollars ton, with 81
per ton bonus for every advance above
basing price for refined sugar.
The final outcome of the controver-
sy is partial victory for both the or
ganized beet growers and the Great
Western Sugar Company. The grow
ers are guaranteed one dollar per ton
more than they received for their 1919
crop and the company put off for
another year the growers demand for
sliding scale of prices.
Independent Mill Suggested
However, in anticipation of confer
ences with company officials this sum-
mer, at which a sliding scale of prices
for the 1921 crop is to be considered
the Mountain States Beet Growers
association is planning to sign up the
largest possible beet acreage, with the
growers pledged to act solely on the
associations initiative.
Thus the association hopes to con-
front the beet sugar refining com
panies with solid lineup of growers
The officers of the association pointed
out yesterday that by this means and
in view of the summer conferences the
growers will know in plenty of time
whether they will have a sliding scale
Of prices for their 1921 beets. If no
satisfactory scale is forced from the
sugar companies, the growers threaten
to enter the refinning field themselves
with cooperative and independent su
gar factories.

EVANGETNTIC
MEETINGS INTER-
EST MANY PEOPLE

The Stucker-JOnes evangelistic
meeting at the Community Church
continues to be the center of attrac-
tion for the people of Julesburg and
the surrounding country these days.
DR.. Sucker breaches n bible message;
breaches it from conviction, and for
conversion, and gets them. Many
have already seen new light and
turned to the Saviour As many as
twenty have gone forward at a single
service. With unusual power. Mr..
Jones brings his messages in song;
not only because Of his fine voice but
because of his clean life. and the type
Of man he is. The orchestra and u
fine chorus choir are giving him 10y
al support. as are the many young
people of the community who have
become greatly interested in his
work among them. Not every people
who get evaneelists are so fortunate
as we were in this instance.
These men leave here early next
week for Hawarden. Ia. where they
will hold a two weeks meeting.

BEET GROWER TAKES
ISSUE WITH SUGAR COM
PANY ON EXISTING STU
ALTON OF THE INDUSTRY

The Great Western Sugar Company
threw quite fit few days ago when
they sent a personal circular to each
beet grower laying down the law to
him. This great Company, that al
ways strives to get together with the
farmer, in their rawlings, say that
they are not aware of any law to com
pei them to pay more for raw mater
ial than they choose, or words to that
effect, and make it very plain that
$1,000 flat is the limit and to ell with
the beet grower. Take it or leave it.
The grower chooses to leave it. AS
all feel that the time of the dictator
is past. they also overlooked the fact
that there is no law to compel the
farmer to grow beets. He will do as
we'll on other crops and generally
better, and of all the good old times
is to quit it right now. We certainly
can exist without the Sugar Company
but they cannot do so without US. We
ask the farmers to write to United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington. D. c., and ask for Farm
ers' Bulletins 772 625 and 6ls on
beet diseases. If you do this you Wi!

pointed to investigate the probable
amount of financial support needed
for q winning team, this committee to
make . report 1t m early date. From
reports neighbormg towns are going
to place good teams in the field, and
,Julesburg should keep up the fspu-
tation of having one Of the best base

ING TUESDAY EVE.
Committees Appointed In Matters Pertaining to
Streets, Trade Campaign. Base Ball

FavOrably

of Ralph Rozell, W. ]. Mccoy and G.
A. Reed. and We are informed that g
report will be made at an early date
A committee composed of P R. Nc
Dowell,' c. F. Schroeder and Ralph
Rozell was appointed to investigate
what amount of funds would be neces-
sary for the proper support of base
ball team in Julesburg during the
coming season. This committee was
instructed to make report of their
findings at the next community club
dinner. 1t was apparent that ali
present at Tuesday evenings gather
ing were heartily in favor of a win
ming base ball team for Julesburg dur
ing the coming season.
The deplorable condition of the
streets in Julesburg was discussed.
and upon motion seconded and carried
Prof. V. H. Rowland was appointed
as committe of one to investigate
the cost of securing gravel and rock
to be placed on our streets, and to take
the matter up with the city council
to ascertain what cooperation and as
sistance was needed in the matter of
putting the streets in good condition
which would reflect credit instead of
discredit to this progressive commun-
ity.
Last, but not least, was the report
Of the publicity committee made by
George H. Thompson. Mr.. Thompson
briefly outlined = trade campaign
which the committee recommended in
the nature Of series Of Bargain
Days, in which the merchants Of
Julesburg would cooperate by offer
ina some staple article in the store
at reduced price. Il was pointed
out that Bargain Days which were
held In JulesbufE about two years ago
had proven . huge success, both in in
creasing the volume Of trade for Jules
burg and also creating q more har-
monious spirit between the farmers
and the merchants, and that Jules
burg had received some good adver-
tising.
The report Of the publicity COM
mittee as presented by Mr.. Thompson
was unanimously accepted, and mo-
ton was made. seconded and carried
to the effect that the publicity COM
mittee proceed to make arrangements
for holding Bargain Days in Jules
burg in the near future. The pub
licity committee is composed of Geo.
H. thompson, Ralph Rozell and P. r.
Mcdowell.
Such meetings as that held last
Tuesday evening have tendency to
do a lot of good for this community.
With the numerous opportunities con-
fronting US, it behooves the progress
sive citizens of Julesburg to get into
the boosting game in earnest, with a
view of mutual benefits. An even
larger attendance should be present
at the next community club dinner.

ed:
During this summer we will meet

Just and manly means to agree with
them on a form of contract for 1921

There is excellent reason to feel
that a proper contract will result:
and if, unfortunately an agreement h
not reached, there will be ample time
for our growers to make plans for The
following season. There is the alter

Around the festive table at the
Brown hotel last Tuesday evening,
sbout thirty business men assembled,
the occasion being the regular Com
nunity Club dinner, an event that Is
becoming more popular all the while
and is responsible for considerable
agitation in various matters pertain
ing to community welfare.
President Frickel presided at the
post-dinner discussion. The first
matter brought up for discussion was
that of the telephone extension, con
Meeting with Venango Telephone Co.
lines on the south table. After con-
siderable discussion of the mat
ter it was moved, seconded and car
ried that the telephone committee
make arrangements to hold special
meeting at an early date, at which
time the residents of the south table
section will be invited to attend and
participate in discussing in detail
what action should be taken toward
building a telephone line which would
connect the Venango line with Jules
burg. This meeting will probably be
called at an early date. Messrs. Geo.
n. Thompson and Guy Smelser con-
1tltute TINS cOmmlCtee.
President Frickel reported that the
executive committee of the commup-
ity club, which had the matter Of the
community building in charge, were
waiting for some definite information
relative to securing a suitable loca.
tion for this proposed enterprise, and
that just rs soon as possible report
would be made as to what progress
had been made.
Prof. v. H. Rowland of the Sedg-
wick County High school made shorl
talk outlining TIE work Of the Jun
ior Community Club, composed OF the
students Of the high school, He point
ed out where this new organization
had already accomplished results il
the way of cleaning up the high school
building, and that it was intended to
also to do public welfare work along
the civic improvement line outside Of
the school. One of the thingsmen-
toned was that of placing waste pa
per and rubbish cans on the business
streets. All present at Tuesday even
ing's gathering appreciated Prof.
Rowland's remarks and it was the
unanimous sentiment that the Jules
burg Community Club lend its hearty
support to the junior organization:
The matter of paid community
secretary was again discussed, and
apparently much more favorable at
titude was in evidence towards this
proposition than on previous occa-
sions. After lengthy discussion the
committee recently appointed was in
structed to at once ascertain what fl
nancial support could be secured from
the various business enterprises for a
budget system of funds to be used in
defraying the expenses Of a paid Sec
retary. This committee is composed

Through the Leaves" published by
our good friends, The Great Western

pIant?" Plant anything as there is
about as much money in any crop as
there is in sugar beets. Wheat is
fully as good and potatoes and beans
twice as good and far less work. As
we have said. the time of the dictator
has passed There was no law to
compel the Kaiser to abdicatc the
throne, but he did. 1t is also time for
the beet growers to shake their die
tator. And another well-known die

the Great Western is putting on the

out that there seems to be growing
