Tampa Observer Acclaims Frank
Williams Second to None as
Hero of World War

The Observer, a Tampa, Florida,
publication, in a national publicity
edition which was published Oct. A,
1924, had an article in which many

C. Williams. eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Marion Williams of Cody, and
a one-time business man of this
state. The article as it appeared
in the southern publication is print
ed below:
World War Hero
Tennessee has its Alvin York,
but Tampa claims one of the World
War heroes, who was just as brave,
and who was not only honored by
the allied countries, but who also
received a Congressional medal and
whose name is in the Hall of Fame.
This hero is Frank C. Williams,
now in the real estate business and
associated with Frank Cooper in
promoting some of Tampa's most
valuable propositions.
major Williams. until a few
months ago was chief of police of
vicious. His work was marked
with remarkable courage and he
made a record most pleasing to the
law and order element. Until com
p~aratively recently, Major Williams
was the champion rifle shot of the
world. He is modest, but ono of
the bravest men in the United States.
He has thousands of friends, is al
ways courteous and, even now, al
though not an officer, is feared by
l~awbreakers."

WARREN, OF WYOMING
(From the Denver. News

General Dawes went into Wyom-
ing to aid the reelection of Fran
els E. Warren as United States sen
ator and it was a worthy mission
taken on behalf of a notable cit
izen of the west. A bond of fell
lowship must exist between the old
er and the younger men. for Sen,
ator Warren was a Medal-of-HonoI
man of the Civil His interest
in military affairs in the senate has
been intimate and full of under
standing from one of wide expert
ence and sympathy with the Ame>
lean army. Senator Warren. too
is in line with Dawes on the bud
getary system and economy in ap
preparations.
Colorado is interesttNdl IN the re
election of Senator Warren, who
has been a friend to the state In
its need more than once, when
politically speaking, Colorado was
off the United States reservation,
The well wishes of citizens of this

his campaign, thls, 100, as q matter
of reciprocity.
An outstanding figure in the SEN
ate, mentally as well as physically,
Senator W%arren's reelection is re-
duired Of Wyoming as a duty to
the nation. This is stated without
craftsmanship. He has been a power
of strength on and in important
senate committees and as a coun-
cilor of his party for many years.
He has been in the Senate thirty
four years. There is no one to
take his place in Wyoming; no one
in the senate quite able to fill his
shoes. Senator Warren's election
is not local to Wyoming; it has
wider significance and Wyomin:
electors will so look at it.

SUGAR BEET GROWERS PAID ALMOST
TWO MILLION DOLLARS ON 1923 CROP

An extra payment totalling ST.
"T79,433.46 to growers of the 1923
sugar beet crop in final payment
therefor was made Monday by the
Great Western Sugar company.
The extra payment amounted to
.sixty-nine cents a ton in the Col
orado district, sixty-eight cents q
ton in the Nebraska district, and
one dollar and ten cents a ton in
the Billings-Lovell factories. The
total price paid per ton in the three
districts was, respectively, $S.19,
sS.1S and 1901.
The payment was made in accord
ance with the participating sliding
scale contract between the growers
and the company, a contract Under
which the farmers are paid for their
crop a price per ton fixed by the
sugar content and by the net price
the company realizes for the sugar.
With this additional paymer- the
company's gross total disbursements
among beet growers for thu 1928
crop reached s20,27S,19O.57, divided
among the three districts as follows:
Colorado, s12,67S,S O5.11: Nebraska,
$4,S92,415.75; Billings-Lovell. 81

The final payment, which is being

factory offices, shows the following
totals by districts: Colorado, ST.
~O6S.6S9.29; Nebraska, S4O5, 3O4.79;
Billings-Lovell, s3O5,439.3S.
The difference in the district pay
ments is partly explained by the
fact that the Colorado fac Dries

growers, due to the company's high
