BEET LABOR WILL
RECEIVE. .$23.OO
AVERAGE ACRE
Beet Workers to be Paid Bonus
of so Cents Per Acre For
Each Ton Above Aver
age Yield of Ia Tons
Per Acre

A basic rate of $23.OO per ,acre for
beet workers and bonus of so cents
per acre for each ton above an aver
age yield of IA tons per acre was the
beet labor contract for the 1924 crop
formulated in conference between a
committee representing the Mountain
States Beet Growers Marketing Asso-
citation and representatives of the
Great Western Sugar Company.
The joint meetings on the beet labor
question marked continuation of the
friendly relations between the Compa-
ny and the growers which was in evil
dence at sessions that brought tn
conclusion.
Labor Commissioner C. V. Maddux
Of the company, who has made an in
tensive study of the problems involved
in recruiting beet workers gave the
Associations committeeman all the
information he possessed with regard
to the 1924 outlook. Managers of the
ten Great Western Colorado factories
attended the conferences. The grow
ers' committee was led by J. H. Roed-
iger, Fort Morgan; E. L. Montgomery,
Longmont; J. D. Pancake, secretary;
W. E. Letford, Johnstown, vice-presi-
dent; Ralph Clark, Eaton, and s. X.
Clark, Lucerne, an directors of tn e
association.
The basic rate Of $500 per acre is
an increase Of $500 per acre over the
1923 labor contract. The bonus fea-
ture is something new in the Colorado
district, although individual growers
have been paying a bonus on the high
yields for number Of years. The
conferences developed the unanimous
opinion on the necessity of increasing
the basic rate as compared with 1928
and also IN favor of the bonus as an
incentive for better work and higher
yields.

FLORA IS FINED
FIVE DOLLARS
STRIKING BOY
Russell Andrews, 14-Year-Old
Boy Is Victim of Blow in
Face While Engaged in
Innocent Play Last
Monday Evening

$500 and costs was the light pen
atty imposed upon Omer C. Flora of
this city by Justice of Peace E. J..
Frederick in Justice court last Tues
day evening, after Mr.. Flora was
found guilty by the court of the
charge of assault and battery upon
the person Of Russell Andrews, a IA
year-old boy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. A. Andrews of this city.
Mr.. Flora was arrested Tuesday
afternoon by sheriff Cunningham up
on an information issued from the Of
flee of Deputy District Attorney W..
H. Pound. A number of witnesses, all
of whom were small boys and play
mates of the Andrews boy, testified
that Mr.. Flora deliberately struck the
Andrews boy in the face with his
(Flora's) fist or hand while the An
drews boy was playing Monday even
ing with number of other boys on
the vacant lot near the Flora resi-
dence in the northeast part of Jules
burg. The testimony of the witness
es for the State was that Mr.. Flora
struck the boy with little or no warn
ing, and that after the blow was
struck, the boy, who was badly
frightened, started to run with Flora
In pursuit, but that the boy outdis-
tanced him and thus avoided any fur
ther complications.
Mr.. Flora testified on the witness
stand that he aia-aot straDe the boy,
but that instead the boy lodged the
blow which he (Flora) had intended
to give him (Andrews.) The evidence
of Flora to the effect that he did not
strike the boy was strongly repudiat-
ed by the testimony of the Andrews
boy and several other boys who wit
messed the alteration, and who firm
ly declared on the witness stand that
Mr.. Flora did strike Russell Andrews
as alleged in the complaint.
Deputy District Attorney W. H.
Pound represented the prosecution in
the case, and is to be commended in
the manner in which he presented
the prosecution. Mr.. Flora acted as
the attorney in his own behalf.
From the testimony given at Tues
day evenings trial it was plainly evil
dent that the attack of Mr..
Flora upon the person of a 14-year-
old boy was entirely unwarranted and
deplorable to say the least. The de-
fendant is indeed fortunate in re-
ceiving such leniency as the small
fine Of $500 and costs in such seri-
Gus charge. The fact that man the
age of Mr.. Flora can Millfully strike
a boy of tender age and be let off
with only small fine, is indeed blot
on the good citizenship of our com
munity, and we sincerely trust that
should Mr.. Flora-or any other man
dare to commit such dastardly act
again upon any Of our youngsters, the
law will handle the situation in the
manner it should be handled, and the
offender be made to thoroughly real,
ize that our children are guaranteed
the proper protection in this COM
munity.

RASK ETRAI.I,

The S. C. H. s.. basketball boys
team journeyed to Sterling last Sat
urday, where they were defeated by q
score of 18 to 9. The local team an
nexed five points before Sterling
could make point. The first quar-
ter ended A to 6 in favor. Of the Julss-
burg team. The game from then on
ran close until Sterling started to hit
the hoop at regular intervals. The To-
cal team was not outclassed, but the
Sterling basketeers just seemed to
have the advantage on their home
floor.
Howard Wilson and the Carlson
brothers played good ball with accur-
ate passing and floor skill during the
evening.
The S. C. H. S. boys and girls
wick boys and girls at the high school
the score of the boys game being 70
to q in favor of Julesburg. The
girls game resulted in the score of
80 to 10 in favor of S: C. H. S. girls.
In the boys game Julesburg had a
safe lead at all times. However, it
was very good game, the work Of
the Carlson brothers and Howard Will
son proving to be too much for Sedg
wick. In the girls game the score at
the end of the first half stood 9 to 8
in favor of Julesburg. In the second
half the Julesburg girls started out
and ran away from Sedgwick, defeat
ing them by the one-sided score of 80
to 10.
Last evening wednesday, Bates
and Company of Sterling, came to
Julesburg an undefeated basketball
team representing the Logan County
High School. Today they returned to
Sterling with the short end of 81 to
23 score as the result of the defeat ad-
ministered to them by the S. C. H. S.
squad. 1t was game that was play
ed from the very first, on through un-
til the last minute, with everything
each team had; game that was not
decided until the whistle told them it
was over.
A sensational comeback in the last
quarter by Sterling looked disastrous
when the score was brought up to %
and "a, but the S. C. H. S. five, who
were in there with an abundance of
pep,and fighting spirit, strengthened
again, and not only checked the Lo
gan SOuIty DOyS, Dut auueU lew
more points to their string. Jules
burg maintained the lead throughout
the contest, which is perhaps the most
hotly contested of any ever staged on
the local gymnasium floor.
The Sterling team is a very strong
one, having won four of the five
games played so far this season.
Bates, Sterling's long, rangy center,
is man to be reckoned with, being
very fast for his build and an accur-
ate basket shooter. Thirteen of Ster-
ling's 23 points in last evenings game
goes to his credit. Sterling has a
good clean team and they play basket
ball all the time.
The S. C. H. s. team started the
scoring right at the toss-up and put
out brand Of basketball that is sell
dom seen in high school games. At
all times they were masters of the
situation. .and the scoring combination
Of Carlson and Wilson, forwards, and
Carlson and Cloud at center, kept the
lead over Sterling at all times during
the game. Williams and Barnes,
at guard, were in the game all the
time, stopping the scoring rallies of
Sterling and aiding in the five-men
teamwork combination which makes
for the success of any basketball
team.
