SUGAR FACTORY MEN
DISCUSS TARIFF MATTER

All sugar factory employees held an
Informal and enthusiastic meeting on
Tuesday afternoon at 200 O'Clock in
the big warehouse of the company.
The matter Of the tariff and the sugar
beet industry was discussed at length
by the men. who included all the EN-.
ployees from the highest to the low.
est.
The benefits which accrue for all
connected in any way with the in.
dustry when the tariff is where it is
now was shown and this is appreciat.
ed by the men. They decided unani.
mously to stand with the farmers and
to help keep the tariff on sugar as
much as they can and in any way they
can.
The meeting showed splendid
spirit and the fact that the men went
on record so unanimously for the helm
possible to the farmers is an iudica.
tion Of the right sort of ideas and
ideals among the men: a spirit of co.
operation is manifest by them in this
way.

Even in her last moment as the lamp
of life burned low, the lips which had
never forgotten to say please" and
thank you" breathed the words.

HEAVY WIND BLEW OFF
MANY APPLES IN COUNTY

The heavy winds Of the past week
did quite little damage to the apples
Of the county. blowing many OF them
Off the trees However. the damage
was not so great as az first thought
by the apple growers
Most OF the apples blown off were
defective though some good ones
fell. too Tho damage will total sew
eral cars The larger varieties, such
as Rome Beauties, Ganos and Dellci-
GUS suffered more than the smaller
ones as the wind could get at them
hetter and they clung less tenaciously
to the trees.
While considerable damage was
done, II will not be a great loss to
the farmers as the apples which fell
were the poorer ones, many OF which
would have been culled out anyway

PAVING PROGRAM AGAIN
DELAYED SHORT TIME

Waiting for the tile TO 'sripen" or
become seasoned enough for use
caused a slight delay in the paving
progress this week as the ditcher
ceased work for a few days. How
ever, digging was begun again today
and no more delay is anticipated.
In the meantime, upper Main street
has been plowed up and dirt removed
to lower the surface to make the
pavement the right height. Side
streets have been rolled and harden
ed and the work of laying the curbing
has progressed. One can begin to see
some of the neatness and cleanliness
Delta will show when the paving is
completed.
