GROWERS AND SUGAR CO.
MUST SOLVE SITUATION:
INDUSTRY IS IN BALANCE
0n11lnat

The sugar beet contract for 1929
proposed by the Great Western Sugar
Company was published in detail in
the last issue of the Grit-Advocate.
This new contract no doubt will not
meet the hearty approval of number
Of the beet growers in Sedgwick
county, and it is very evident that a
spirit of give and take must prevail
if the sugar beet industry is not to
suffer.
We believe the theory of the slid
ing scale is the best method in ar
riving at justice between the grower
and manufacturer. 1t is perhaps true
that when the sugar corporations were
making large profits in the sugar
manufacturing business, they gave lit
tie attention to the sliding scale plan
by which the sugar beet growers are
paid according to the prices obtained
for the refined sugar. But let by
cones be bygones; and the actions
and reactions have sort Of evened
thing up anyway; of late the sugar
company's profits have been in the
red. In 1920 the sugar company paid
$12 ton for beets. and later develop
ments in the sugar industry showed
that the manufacturers undoubtedly
lost money on the years business. In
1921 the price was materially lower
but the sugar market proved even
more disastrous than in the preceding
year and heavy losses to the manu-

ASSIGNMENTS MADE FOR
HOSE COMPANIES BY CHIEF
Matters Pertaining to Systematic e-Fighting
Thoroughly Discussed at Special Meet
ing of Julesburg Volunteer Fire
Department Held Last
Tuesday Evening

A special meeting of the Julesburg
Volunteer Fire Department was held
Tuesday evening in the Council Room
of the power plant, and an interesting
and beneficial session was the result
of this gathering of the city's fire.
fighters. -'ss.'..
The matter of arranging for a sys-
tematic way of turning in alarms in
case of fire by the people of Jules
burg was discussed 1t length. Man.
ager Schmit of the local telephone ex-
change was present and assured the
members Of the department that the
telephone company employees would
gladly lend their cooperation in the
matter of turning in fire alarms. 1t
was decided that the most practical
way would be for persons turning in
fire alarms, to do SO by calling "Fire
Department" and then the telephone
operator would connect the person
calling with a special telehone sta
toned in the boiler room at the pow
er plant, this phone to be used only
in case person wishing to turn in
fire alarm.
Manager Schmit further stated that
the secretary of the fire department
had furnished him with list of the
fire department members who had a
telephone in their home, and that in
the future the night telephone oper-
ator will call the members as soon
as possible after an alarm of fire is
given, and that the public be asked to
refrain from calling central until such
time as the telephone operator has
had time to call the fire department
members and notified them of the To-
cation Of the fire as near as possible,
This will greatly assist in getting the
firemen out to fires with the least
possible delay.
A vote of thanks was rendered Mr..
Schmit for his cooperation with the
department, which will mean much
better efficiency in prompt response
to fires by firemen during the night.
The proposition of becoming
more efficient in fighting fires
was thoroughly discussed. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of all
members that persons not mem.

facturers was the result,
These statements are not propapan-
da, but are borne out by conservative
figures, and are admitted by the beet
growers who have carefully studied
the situation. The beet industry is in
the balance. It's future depends in a
large measure on the cooperative
spirit which exists between the grow
ers and manufacturers. The growers
must consider not only the price Of
fered for this years contract. but the
history and future of the entire in
dustry. 1t lies in the growers hands
as much as in the hands of the manu-
facturers. They can make it or break
1t as easily as the manufacturers can.
What is Of public interest at this
time is that the sugar beet industry
in Colorado should not fall by the
way-side, because if it does, it is very
doubtful whether it will revive; it may
go altogether, for that is Just what is
demanded by Eastern Cobdenites, who
take the stand: "that Cuban cane and
cane sugar from other climates can
be grown and manufactured cheaper
than the American sugar beets; then
away with the latter and let the 9TH
er supply the whole American mar
ket."
For the centralized industrial East
ern sections of the United States this
argument may appeal; but what of the

MUCH INTEREST IS
DISPLAYED AT
HIGH SCHOOL GYM

Enthusiasm was at high pitch at
the Sedgwick County High School
gymnasium last Monday evening
when the six teams of the Julesburg
Community Club Volley Ball Tourna-
ment played the fifth series of the
tournament. There was intense
"rooting" from the balcony for the
favorites. 1t reminded one of the
spirited college foot ball game, where
the bars are down and you can yell to
your hearts desire if your vocal or
gans will stand the gaff.
The first game was played between
teams No. One and Four, and result
ed in victory for No. One. Next
came the game between Teams No.
Two and Six, and No. Two defeated
No. Six. Then Team No. Five played
No. Three, resulting in victory for
No. Five. Following this team No
One defeated No. Three. Team No
Two defeated No. Five and No. Four
won out over No. Six.
Teams No. One and Two won both
games while Teams No. Three and
Six lost both of their contests. Teams
No. Four and Five each lost one and
won one. AS the result of the fifth
series three teams are now tied for
first place and three teams tied for
second. The race is good one, with
the interest growing as the tourna-
ment progresses. The next series OF
he tournament will be played next
Monday evening, February 9th, COM
mencing at 1880 o'clock sharp. The
tournament is half over and five more
series yet remain to be played.
Following is the standing Of the

bers of the organization be pro.
hibited from entering any burn
ing building, or interfering in any
manner with the department when
fire is in progress; that the gen.
eral public refrain from handling
any of the fire-fghting equip
ment at all times, unless called
upon to do 80 by the department;
that cars and vehicles refrain
from running over the hose; all of
which is in strict violation Of
law, and that any person or per-
sons caught violating any of these
rules be arrested and prosecut-
ed. 1t was further explained that
each member of the department
had police power in case of fire
and that they should exercise
their authority when the case
warrants.
Chief E. D. Charles announced the
appointed chemical men, nozzle
men, hose men. line-men, plumber, po-
lice, ETC., these assignments being
for two hose companies, with the
First and Second Assistant Chiefs,
Messrs. Clarence Daggett and Dale

HELP FOR FARMERS.
Much Needed Relief Offered Livestock
Growers OF South Carolina.

The South Carolina Cooperative
Livestock Association will supply 6
much needed relief and assistance tt
the stock growers of this state. Fol
the first time in history our govern
i, ment has seen fit to come to the n
nancial assistance and aid OF the
stockgrowers.
His has indeed been lone fight
in the past, and still in the present
The majority of the banks do moi
consider livestock good collateral
The few that do give it any consider
alton at all do not extend their loans
over 500 of the value CT the live
stock offere1 as security. Now thc
government, has at last extended
helping hand. It cannot be blamed
for not recognizing the industry in
the past as the venture was too risky
IL would have had to depart from It's
sound business methods to have done
SO.
There has at last been an Act
passed that makes it possible for a
livestock grower to obtain very iber-
al loans on his stock. Although the
War Finance Corporation, from which
this assistance can be had, does not
recognize the individual livestock
grower, it does recognize an associa-
ton of growers.
The South Carolina Cooperative
Livestock Association hes been form
ed according to the requirements OF
the laws laid down by this Act. By
being a member of this association
a grower is privileged to receive OF
borrow from two-thirds to three
fourths of the market value Of his
livestock. The money thus obtained
can be expanded in enlarging the
herd, fattening, breeding and orderly
marketing; and, in fact, in any way
that applies to this particular In
dustry.
Thus the members Of this asso-
ciation will bring thousands upon
thousands Of dollars into the state
This is going to put new life into
the veins Of the industry instead OF
letting it smash on the breakers OF
a demoralized market.
With the assistance offered by the
association the livestock industry
should grow rs it will bring about
a condition that would eliminate the
speculator and give the producer a
chance to market his livestock or
derly and at a time when a Justlfl'
able price can be obtained.
The grower must do his part. The
government has offered to meet him
halfway. If the grower grasps the
opportunity that is offered him, prop
erty will take the place Of poverty
The exercise Of good judgement by
the stocln,en Of this state will make
a landmark in its history.
