The new contract provides for
the placing of the 5000 shares in the
hands of trustee and that it shall
be unassessable and have no voting
power so long as it remains in the
hands of the trustee. The assess
ments that have accumulated against
the stock since 1920 are cancelled.
The contract provides that an esti-
mate shall be made jointly by the
two companies to ascertain what if
any will be the cost of charging the
canal SO that it will be able to carry
the full 1850 second feet and there
by be able to water the full $4,000
acres. The cost of this enlarge
ment work, If it is found that an en-
largement is necessary, becomes a
charge against the 5000 shares of
stock that are in the hands of a
trustee and the stock cannot be with
drawn from the trustee except as this
charge is paid. The stock may be
withdrawn in blocks of not less than
500 shares upon the Securities COM
pany paying the proportional part of
the estimated cost of enlargement
and other costs which have accrued
against the stock. Another cost
that will accrue against the stock Is
its proportional part of the cost of
the water right purchased in Jackson
Lake. This must also be paid be-
fore the stock can be withdrawn
from the trustee.
The Securities company has three
years in which to withdraw the first
half Of the stock and the second half
must be withdrawn in five years. Any
stock not withdrawn In the required
time becomes the property of the
Aberdeen-Springfield company. Pro-
vision is made in the contract for ad-
vanced notice being served on the
Aberdeen-Spring1eld company of the
intention of the Securities company
to withdraw stock so that the Aber-
deen-Springdeld company will have
ample time to increase the canal
capacity to carry the additional
water IL 1t Is found that additional
capacity is needed.
The contract also provides that
should the Aberdeen-Springfield
company wish to do enlargement
work prior to the time the Securities
company desires to withdraw any
stock from the trustee that the
Securities company Immediately
pays one-half the cost of such en-
largement work and refunds the
other half to the Aberdeen-Spring-
held company when the stock is later

has been made keener by the lack o
beet checks and the lack of labo
checks for operating the factories a
Blackfoot and Shelley.
Sugar Man Talks
George H. Smith said there hat
been a great deal of misunderstood
ing and lack of harmony between
growers and factory, and at times Il
had seemed an almost hopeless task
to try to harmonic things, but in
the present crisis all parties are seek
ing to adjust things and to get right
on everything they can. The stock
any dividends for nearly three years,
and the growers and stockholders
are all sacrificing.
On being asked whether we can
depend upon the company to operate
the Blackfoot and Shelley factories
this year If we raise the beets. Mr..
Smith said that If we raise 100, 900
tons in the two districts, 10000 for
Blackfoot and 10000 for Shelley,
both factories would operate, and
that the more we raise, the longer
they will operate. The average ton
mage for the past seventeen years
in the BlackfOot district was $4,000
tons, and the average for the past
five years was $4,000 tons. We are
only required this year to pass the
$4,000 ton limit to have the factory
operate, and neither of the factories
in this county has the steffenhouse
equipment. Those at Lincoln and
Sugar City have it, and enables
them to get forty pounds more sugar
from ton of beets than can be done
here. 1t will cost the company about
quarter of a million dollars to in
stall the Steffenhouse equipment
here, and there is not much encour-
agement' for them to install it when
people lay off at times and do not
raise beets. On the other hand,
there is not so much encouragement
for the people to raise beets when
the company ships part or all of the
crop to these other factories and
thus lose us the employment and the
syrup and pulp. The company
recognizes the injustice to those who
do stay with the beet business, when
they are deprived of pulp and en-
ployment, and they want to clear up
that source of dissatisfaction and |
loss to both the people and the COM
pany. They hope to get the CO.
operation of the whole community, |
get large tonnage, and operate the |
Blackfoot and Shelley factories as
ong as they do the others. They |
want to see the dairy industry
started, and the stock industry and
nave so much prosperity for all
parties that these little differences
will be forgotten.

given final authority, but was to sub
NIT plan to the stockholders fol
ratification. The board did not sue
coed in reaching an agreement with
the Securities company, but had
made some progress by the time OF
the annual meeting in February this
year. The stockholders then passed
resolution giving the board full
power to consummate an agreement
with the Securities company. The
contract signed on the twentieth is a
result of this resolution.
The contract recently signed is
really an amendment to the contract
of April 8, 1919 and several of the
provisions of the old contract re-
main unchanged. Out Of the 10000
shares of stock issued in 1919 nearly
5000 shares have been applied to
lands under the Rockford pumping
plant so the present contract has to
do with the other 5000 shares which
were issued to the Securities COM
pany in 1919 and none of which have
ever been applied to any lands. The
1919 contract provided that this
stock would be assessable in 1920
and thereafter and also that if it
was found that additional carrying
capacity had to be provided in the
canal in order to carry the full de-
cree of 1850 second feet the Securit-
les company would pay for the cost
of such enlargement in excess of
SIP, 500. The enlargement work
was to be done by the Aberdeen
springfield company. These provis-
ons of the old contract we're not
lived up to. No assessment was ever
paid on the 5000 shares and neither
vas the enlargement work done.

Sugar Beet Contracts
Mr.. Hale explained the present

the cooperation of all the interests

tonnage of beets. In addition to

about one-seventh as much money

we raise a ton of potatoes we pay

When we raise tons of sugar beets

of product and the rest of the ton
Stays here to help the stock industry. |
When a ton of beets is treated at the
factory, it circulates about $3.50 in |
the community as wages, and when a |
ton of beets is grown on the farm it |
circulates still another sum as wages,
either to employees or to the own
ers of the beets if they do their own
work. For very ton of beets grown
on farm there is support for some
dairy stock, and for each COW kept
on a farm for the year, the added
fertilizers increase the beet tonnage
of the following year from one to two
tons. A ton of beets brings the
grower minimum of $3.50 plus the
bonus that ranges from about 81

This year the bonus already paid was

another payment in June. He said

Opening Meeting

The first meeting of the newly or
ganized Alpha Eta chapter of the
Delphian society was held at the Ro-
tary room of the Mckenzie hotel
yesterday morning at $3.50 o'clock
with Miss Elsie Roe of Chicago, ILL.,,
organizer, as leader.
As an appropriate opening Miss
Ada Pearl Roller of Chicago, organ
izer. explained the significance of
the word "Delphian" which was chos-
en- as the name Of this society. She
quoted the following original bit of
verse in opening:
Looking backward into the dim
distant past into field so vast.
I'VE pause in reverence today and
homage pay
Him who guided our children's
I'm its onward and upward way"
She explained that "Delphian" had
been chosen from the name Of the
oracle in ancient Greece over which
Apollo feigned, making known his
wishes to the world through a prizes
tess. This shrine was visited BY
kings. potentates, and priests who
wished to be advised of the future.

Paris, Sept. >29.-Tke French cou-
turiers have many points of differ
cnce,> but in two respects they all
think as one:
l. All stress the long, straight
line.
2. All grant velvet the star role
in the fashion pageant.
The velvet of this season is so
soft and supple that it may be used
for any tyne of costume, and it
comes in subtle colors that may be
obtained in no other fabric.
Changeable velvets are new and
very fascinating, and they cry out
and ask to be draped. Figured vel
vets come in very rich colors and
complicated designs, and hence are
used for the simplest type of
straightline frocks, or are combined
with gold tissue cloth or with plain
colors.
These figured velvets are used not
only for gowns, but for coats and for
Innings for coats, and particularly
for smart little jacquettes to be
worn with plain frocks, or straight
line blouses combined with fur.

In evening frocks, velvet in pas

and it is most frequently combined
with fur-the rich the fur the bet
ter. Naturally ermine is the ideal
complement of black velvet, but fox

spised.

require any decoration has been
quite discarded this season. Free
