Our debaters are preparing zeal
"uslv for the debate to be had on next
Tuesday in Holyoke.
One OF the largest crowds in the
history of s. C. H. S. attended the
basketball games Friday night be-
tween Holyoke and Julesburg. Not on
ly did the Julesburg fans attend in
crowds. but Holyoke fans were also
plentifully sprinkled among the big
crowd. The Julesburg girls played
the Holyoke girls as curtain raiser,
defeating them to the tune of 81 to 0.
Our boys played afterward with the
Holyoke boys. In the first half the
Julesburg boys were ahead, but in the
last half the Holyoke boys gradually
gained. The game was fast and spir-
tied throughout. Holyoke won by the
score Of % to II. Our boys were de-
feated for the first, and we all hope,
the last time.

BEET GROWERS MEETING
AT SEDGWICk AND OVID
New 1924 Beet Contract Is Explained To Growers
By Representatives of Mountain States
Beet Growers Association At Meet
ings Held Friday; Another Meet
ing At Ovid Next Tuesday

Quite few Of the beet growers in
this section attended the beet grow
ers' meetings held at Ovid and Sedg-
wick last Friday, the Ovid meeting
being held in the morning and t h e
meeting at Sedgwick in the after
noon. At these meetings representa-
tives of the Mountain States Beet
Growers association from Sterling,
Nessrs. Litel and Hume, who ex-
planned the new beet contract for 1924
as agreed upon by the officials of the
Great Western Sugar Co., and the
representatives of the Mountain
States Beet Growers association at
the conferences held in Denver a
Greeley few weeks ago.
The beet growers representatives
stated to the growers at last Fridays
meetings that the 1924 beet contract
as finally agreed upon is better than
the 50-50 demand made by the asso-
citation before the conference. In de-
termining the contract, figures over a
period of ten years operation were
used, and the average of these was to
be the basis of the payment. In this
period it was found the average SELL
ing price of sugar was $3.50 per hum
dred and the average sugar content
1857 per cent, the average shrink 5.42
per cent, and an average extraction Of
86.98. It is understood that there is
to be an equal division between grow
er and the sugar company on the ba-
sis of sugar selling at $3.50 and test
Of 1857 per cent. Above these fig
res the grower is to receive so per
cent of the increase and the company
40 per cent, and when the figures fall
below this basis the company is to
benefit by receiving 60 per cent of the
difference and the grower 40 per cent.
In no case can the grower receive less
than AZ per cent Of the total amount
of the selling price, and the grower
can get as much as So per cent of the
total.
A very pleasing feature of the Ov-
id meeting was the serving of sand
witches and coffee to the growers by
the Ovid business men. The refresh
ments were greatly appreciated by all
present at the meeting, the Ovid busi-
ness men receiving a. unanimous vote
of thanks for their thoughtfulness and
generosity.
Another meeting of the beet grow
ers of Sedgwick county and vicinity
will be held at the Marshall store
building in Ovid on next Tuesday, Jan.
22nd, at one o'clock P. M. This meet.
ing will be held for the purpose of
discussing and formulating plan for
the best interests of both the growers
and the manufacturer. The commit
tee in charge of next Tuesdays meet
ing is composed of Messrs. Fra k
Sherman, Sedgwick; J. A. Krist, Ovid
and Frank Deich, Julesburg.. All OF
the beet growers in this section are
earnestly urged to be present at next
Tuesdays meeting.
Indications are that rcord-break-
ing acreage will be planted to beets
this year, with a much earlier settle
ment than for number OF years De-
tween the growers and the sugar COM
pany, as a much better feeling now
exists. This pleasing state of affairs
will prove, no doubt, a big stimutant
to the industry.

BASKETBALL

The Holyoke basketball team de-
feated the Julesburg high school team
by the score of 23 to II last FRIDAY
evening. in the S. c. H. s. gymnasi-
UNI. The game, although exciting,
was very slow and rough.
The Julesburg boys held the lead
the first half by an 8 to score. They
returned the last half and seemed to
be unable to connect in work.
The local boys went into the game to
win, but odds seemed to be against
them. Holyoke has a real team and
we offer no alibis. The Holyoke five
should defeat every team in this sec
ton of the state. The last quarter
Holyoke went their best. shooting bas-
kets from every angle. The Holyoke
team has two real guards and these
men seem to be able to add several
baskets to their score in every encoun-
r that takes place.
A record crowd turned out to wit
ness the game Friday night, the high
school gymnasium being crowded to
capacity, and the rooters were there
in full force. A large delegation from
Hol yoke was in attendance to cheer
their team on to victory. Holyoke has
a team of which the citizens of that
city have right to be proud Of
The local team will play Haxtun
here tomorrow (Friday) evening, Jan
uary 18th in the S. C. H. S. gymnasi-
UNI. Haxtun will come with both
the boys and girls teams. 1t is in
teresing to note that Haxtun was de-
feated by Sterling last week % to 49,
The S. C. H. S. boys feel confident of
defeating Haxtun.
1t was interesting to see the Jules
burg girls defeat the Holyoke girls
by the score of "a to O. Holyoke de-
feated Wray IA to 9 and also several
other team in the vicinity of Holyoke.
The S. C. H. S. girls in defeating the
Holyoke girls so decisively, have earn
ed a reputation already Of having the
best girls team in Northeastern Colo
rado. We sure hope they defeat Hax
tun, Sedgwick and Sterling in their
remaining games. Every effort will
be taken to push the girls to the
broadest championship possible. They
should be Champs" of this section
and contenders for honors of larger
sections of the state.
