BEET GROWERS
RECEIVECHECkS
THIS WEEK
Sugar Company Mails Checks
Two Days Earlier Than Usu-
al; October Deliveries Small
On Account of The Inclement
Weather Conditions

Beet growers in this dis
trict received substantial checks Tues
day for the November payment for
beets. Payment was made two days
earlier than usual, the purpose of the
change not being announced by Den
yer office of the Great Western Su-
gar company. The payment is small
er than in many former years, large
ly because of the fact that inclem-
ent weather conditions prevented the
usual large delivery of sugar beets
during the month of October. The
payment represents deliveries Of 130,-
600 tons of beets in the entire Ster-
ling district, the total amount paid
in this payment being $715.0OO The
initial payment under the sliding con-
tract is $3.50 per ton. The payment
is for approximately half of the 1928
crop of beets. Because the November
payment is smaller than usual, the
December payment will be larger. 1t
is estimated by the sugar company
that the December 18th payment will
be about $5OO,O0O. This payment or
dinarily is between 100000 and $780,
600.

NEWS NOTES OF
THE JULESBURG
GRADE SCHOOL

by Dave Hart and Wilson Mcdowell
We celebrated Armistice Day in as.
sembly in the upper grades last Fri
day. The program was as follows:
Salute to the Flag--------The School
AS We Go Marching By-----
---Song by Seventh Grade
The Tribute Mildred Hildebrand
Address Vaukht
Patriotic Songs s---s---a- The Scf,Gol
Mrs. Vaught spoke to us about the
proper display of the flag. She said
that if we regard the flag as living
thing representing our nation, we will
always be careful to observe the pro-
per ways of displaying it. We appre-
ciated her talk very much.
We believe a number of our older
citizens of Julesburg should learn how
to take care of the flag properly. The
seventh grade noticed five flags i'm
properly displayed last Sunday and
Monday. A flag on one of our public
buildings was left out in the rain on
Sunday. The rules for the display of
the flag were published in this paper
last week.
Last Monday the boys in the 9TH
grade chose new sides in foot ball
The captains are Leroy Austin and
Jerome Lanckriet. Austin's team won
by scoe of Is to 6.
The seventh grade girls keep certain n
teams for six weeks and keep their
score for the entire time. Alma John.
son and Gladys Frey are captains al
this time. At present Alma's team is
ahead. The score is 81 to So. The
members of the winning team are
Alma johnson, Regina Beanblossom
Catherine Baker, Grace johnson, Alice
johnson and Ardella Oberender.
The eighth grade is glad that their
girls are good base ball players. lr
the eighth grade the leading team is
composed of Esther Eversman, Edna
Boss, Elsie Etchison, Ruth Fender
Dorothy Parker, Pearl Robertson
Marian Beadle, Elvera Spillman and
Iva Randolph. The score is 81 to 40
The sides are quite evenly divided and
scientific ball playing is usually dis
played.
The seventh and eighth grades took
the National Intelligence Tests this
week.
Mrs. Parker is reading "Tom Saw
yer" to US in the seventh grade. We
hope to get "Huckleberry Fin" next,
because it tells of the exploits of Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
The mothers will be pleased to hear
that the marble season has begun
Now they can mend stockings.
We have perhaps much of our
sports in this writing, however, we
work as hard as we play and we en-
10Y it too, even if We don't talk much
about it.
