In presenting the contract. w. D.
Lippit, general manager of the COM
pany, said:
I'VE believe this is very favor
able contract for the growers. The
sliding scale is now generally recog-
u;zed as fair method of fixing beet
prices. The growers participate in
the benefits of high prices and good
sugar content.
We have every reasonable ground
: for the belief that the future holds
promise of recovery for the sugar
industry. But no prophecy of flu
ture sugar prices is needed because
the sliding scale automatically adj
mits the grower INTO his share OF
high sugar prices. and the initial pay
mcnt of 81 50 leaves the grower un-
affected by declines which would
prove very detrimental to the com.
pany.
Consideration for Grower.
THE company has deep sense Of
its 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 to
continue performing this service.
For that reason we arc offering the
best contract warranted by present
and prospective conditions III the
sugar market and the industry. Un-
der this contract the grower of the
raw material is given every consid-
Grafton. We have a keen apprecia-
ton that his prosperity is essential
10 the industry's preservation and
continued existence.
what we can afford to pay for
beets this coming season depends
upon the amount of sugar in the
beets sliced and the price netted for
the sugar, less the necessary eN-
penses of manufacturing. These
latter are still considerable above
prewar levels.
'' The initial payment is fixed at
the highest possible point. The
company still assumes a risk in case
of another season of unexpectedly
low prices and sugar contest.
THE part played by the cash pay.
ment for beets in relieving the ag-
ricultural situation in the last two
years is not to be forgotten. a nor
NAL acreage of beets this coming sea-
son will mean the continuation of
these benefits. At the same time a
normal acreage is necessary to avoid
possible curtailed operations of fac
tories. a contingency the company
will not even consider unless forced
to do so by conditions beyond its
control"

Denver Colo, Feb. IA sliding
scale contract paying S. per ,or
Tor beets when the average net price
obtained for sugar is $3.50 per bias

Additional payment would bt

growers receive less than $3.50 pei

tories OF the company.
The S. mark was stated 10 be a
normal expectation ince both the
! IL cent per pound sugar price aud
the IS IL per cent sugar content
arc lower than the average in pre-
war years. In the last 10 years the
average sugar content in these dis

seven times. The average sugar con-
tent for bcets sliced by districts, not
the content OF indi' idual growers
bects, will be used as a basis because
OF the prohibi,iv expense OF testing
each growers deliveries.
Farmers Get neneft.
The sliding scale gives the farm
ers the benefit of good sugar CON

payment OF $3.50 relieves the grow

Venison is staple and wild ducks
and geese may be purchased for a few
centavos. Live quail as well as varie-
ties of pheasants and pigeons are sold
on the streets by peddlers. Indians
from the hills frequently trudge to the
city with wild boar, and turkeys may
be had for the price of paltry tip to
a native hunter.

SORRY SHE DIDN'T LIKE II
But Anyway, That Particular Hat
Wasn't for Sale, and 1t Made
Little Difference.

In and out of department stores and
millinery shops went the Woman and
her friend, trying on hats trimmed
with robbOn, hats. smothered in feath-
ers and hats where bloomed flowers
that never were on sea or land. The
WOman's friend was as hard to suit
as the little girl in the "Three Bears"
They were all "too" something The
Woman was growing weary, and spy
ing an attractive black hat with some
spidery white feathers in heap be-
fore another fussy shopper, she point
ed it out to her friend.
"Try to get chance at that I'M
usual hat. 1t has great deal of dis
tinction," she whispered.
The friend sidled UP to the show
case, and when the fussy shopper was
trying on yellow-tiowered creation,
she seized the hat and viewed the ef-
feet in the glass, exclaiming: ugh
| don't like this one a little bit"
"EXcuse me, madam" icily said the

bought in Kenosha. Sorry you don't

Steel Used in Umbrellas.

All umbrellas contain steel as a
necessary component. Just how much,
however, has been a subject of some
interest. While the umbrella industry
is not large user of steel, its total
consumption of wire and sheets is sub
stantial considering the light weight
of the finished product. A maker of
umbrella frames on a large scale in
Philadelphia is reported to use $500
tons of high carbon steel rods, $50
tons of soft basic rods and 800 tons of
bessemer sheet steel each year. The
entire industry uses about 1,500 tons
of sheets and about 1850 tons of rods.
Wire for the manufacture of ribs and
stretchers is made from high-carbon
rods, while the runners, notches and
various other small parts used in the
frames are fashioned from soft basic
rods. The steel rods are made from
bessemer sheets. Four companies
make practically all the umbrella
frames in the United States. OF these
three are in Philadelphia and one in
Newark. Philadelphia, therefore, may
be said to be the home of the umbrella
industry of this country.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. Wher
writing be sare and mention this paper.
