"The company has deep sense of
it's responsibility to the farmers and
the beet growing communities. We
realize that in the service of trans
forming the raw farm product into a
salable food staple we are actually a
part of the agricultural system in
these districts. We are anxious l.,
continue performing this service. For
that reason we are offering the best
contract warranted by present and
prospective conditions in the sugar
market and the industry. Under this
contract the grower Of the raw mater

have a keen appreciation that his
prosperity is essential to the indus

"What we can afford to pay for
beets this coming season depends up
on the amount of sugar in the beets
sliced and the price netted for the
sugar, less the necessary expenses of
manufacturing. These latter are still
considerably above pre-war levels.
"The initial payment is fixed at the
highest possible point. The company
still assumes risk in case of another

DONALD GIL
CHRIST DIES in
DENVER FEB. 9

This community was shocked to
learn of the sudden death of Donald
Gilchrist. the 2-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. M. Gilchrist, former resi-
dents of Julesburg, but now residing
near Morrison, Colo. Death was caus-
ed from the effects of severe scalds
suffered when the little boy stepped
into a pail of hot water at the par
entail home about three weeks ago.
The boy was given medical atten-
ton Immediately after the accident
and his injuries were not thought to
be of serious nature. His condition
grew worse and, five days later, he
was taken to Denver and placed in
the home of Mrs. Ferguson, a friend
of the Gilchrist family. Death oc-
Cured Thursday, February 9th from
the results Of poisoning in the wounds.
According to the mothers story,
she had been cleaning the floor with
a pail of hot water and the little boy
while playing backed into the pail.
Donald Neil Gilchrist was born
April 6, 1919 at Julesburg, Colorado,
and died February 8, 1922, in Den
yer, Colo, at the age Of two years,
eleven months and three days. He
leaves a father, mother, seven broth
ers and one sister to mourn his loss.
The body was brought to Julesburg
Friday from Denver, accompanied by
the parents. Funeral services were

DISASTROUS FIRE
IS AVERTED BY
PROMPT ACTION

A disastrous fire was narrowly
averted last Tuesday morning by the
prompt arrival of the Julesburg
Volunteer Fire Department at the
grade school building in this city.
Fire broke out in the fourth grade
room, which is directly over the fur
mace room, and the flames had burn
ed through part of the floor. Short
ly after the alarm was given at about
$3.50 o'clock a. m. the fire department
was on the scene, and by quick work
in getting stream of water into the
building, the conflagration was ex-
tinguished and the building saved
from being destroyed. This was a
very fortunate circumstance, as the
delay of only a few minutes would
have given the fire such headway
that the flames would have been
much harder to get under control.
Considerable damage was done to
the fourth grade room where a large
hole was burned in the floor and the
ceiling and walls damaged by the
flames and water. The fire occurred
before school had taken up and there
were only a'few persons in the build
ing. School was dismissed until
Tuesday afternoon, at which time the
regular school work was resumed
with the exception of the fourth
grade, it being necessary to make
quite extensive repairs in this room
before it can be used
The origin of the fire was due to
an over-heated furnace pipe, catch
ing the floor directly above. The
loss is fully covered by insurance.

DUAL TRAGEDY
HELD RESULT Of
SUICIDAL PACT
Kentucky Couple, Married Only
Few Months, Found Shot
to Death.

CINCINNATI, April 14.-Lewls
Phillips, humane officer of Kenton
county, KY. shot and killed his wife,
Emma Gllsey Phillips. whom he mar.
ried last December. and then fired a
bullet into his brain at their home
in Covington, KY, probably Tuesday
night, but the murder and suicide
was not discovered until yesterday
morning. Whether Mrs. Philips had
consented to a suicide pact Is not
known, although because of the con-
ditions surrounding the double shoot
ing Coroner ID. w. Stephens ex-
pressed the belief that an agreement
to end their lives had been made.
Relatives OF Mrs. Phillips declare
that they do not believe that she
would have consented to a suicide
pact, and they expressed the belief
that she was killed while she slept.
Phillips suffered a nervous break
down about two months ago and
several times complained to friends
about the s.pte of his health, but 30
far as has been revealed he did not
make any threat of suicide.
Phillips had been known to thou
sands OF travellers es baggage agent
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
before he was chosen humane Off
Ger. For many years he had board
ed the trains at Covington and rid
den TO the Grand Central Depot In
Cincinnati, issuing transfer checks
