Agreement Insurlng In
creased Acreage
BY MICHAEL r. DACEY,
international News Service.

DENVER, April 24.-That Colo
lrado will continue to be the lead
ing sugar beet producing State
was assured when 1t was an
nounced that the deadlock between
the Mountain States Beet Sugar
Growers Association and the Great
Western Sugar Company had been
broken.
The impasse, which had existed
for three months and threatened to
disrupt the entire system of mar
keting Colorado's most important
agricultural product, was ended
shortly after District Judge H. p.
Munson, of Sterling, issued per.
manent injunction restraining the
growers association from interior
ing with the individual contracts
OF its members.
New Contract Signed.
The Injunction paved the way
| for an amicable settlement OF the
differences between the growers
association and the sugar company
and within twenty-four hours q
new one-year contract had been
drawn up that is expected to result
| in an increased acreage of sugar
beets this year over the enormous
planting of 1924.
The compromise" agreement,
suggested by the association and
accepted by the company manage.
ment. provides for an increased
initial payment on beets-from $3.50
to Sc per ton-further agreements
being:
elimination of the fire and
strike" clause.
Recognition of the growers asso-
citation as a marketing body.
Collection by the company Of two
cents a ton dues from association
membersr-provided $4,000 acres
are contracted by the company In
Colorado.
The original court action was be-
gun by Henry Wagner an, associa-
the association, acting as his
agent, had made a contract with
the company In 1924 at q fair and
reasonable price for sugar beets.
Association Acted Slowly.
He averred that, with the 1925
planting season at hand, "the asso-
citation has failed to negotiate or
obtain or improve any contract for
the marketing or sale of sugar
beets to be grown by the plaintiff
and other membeEs Of the associa-
ton during 1925. and has not OBJ
tanned any purchaser therefor, and
that the association is unable and

tiate or obtain any contract for the
marketing or sale Of sugar beets
other than or more favorable to
the members. than the 1925 con
tract rendered by the company to
| the beet growers"
Wagner sought relief from inter
ference by the association in any
individual contract he might make
with the sugar company.

ance."
That's the conclusion of Doctor

eled after the American Christian

Though eighty-five years old and
blind. Doctor Tsanoff still retainE
a sound constitution and mind
which he attributes to the fact THAI
he never smoke or drank and al
ways ate his meals at regular
hours.
my own experience teaches me
that the greatest principle of sue.
cess in life is character" he de-
clared IN an interview. What we
most need is men Of character. The
world still exists because of the
strong characters Of some persons. =
Being deprived of his sight has
not made Doctor Tsanoff bitter. On
the contrary he said he had nothing
to complain of.
/ "I became blind at eighty-two,
but think of the great Milton, who
lost his sight at forty-five." he said.
Now, see in different way, so /
don't consider myself blind. Now l
enjoy seeing with my spiritual ana
mental eyes, which see 90 much
further"
Bishop Stephan, of Sofia, In dis
cussing Doctor Tsanoff, called him
the modest Bulgarian living
chiefly because of his work IN con-
nection with the Bulgarian Evan
gelical Society, for which Doctor
Tsanoff received inspiration In the
United States where he graduated
from Amherst College in 1871.
Born of poor but pious parents,
Doctor Tsanoff worked his way
through the Plovdov American
School before going to the United
States. After completing his edu-
cation at Amherst he returned i'm

twenty years the editor of Zornitsa,

tions to become Minister of Educa-

INDIVIDUAL STAR
 BANE OF BASEBALL
Eddie Collins Describes Situa.
 ti0n Just Like in Football

New York. Dec. IS R - Eddie Collins, manager of thc Chicago White Sox and graduate of Co., lumhia university. has described a situation in baseball that parallels one element of college football which has drawn condemnation in many quarters this fall
 Collins. addressing q gathering in Philadelphia yesterday, declared that too much attention is being paid 10 individual brilIiancy in base ball and that he favors a re- turn to the old days when the crowd icered the visiting team and sometimes went further in it's par tisanship. He argued that the game appears to bc losing its origi- nal spirit 10 the modern tendency toward hippodroming.
 Football followers also have been bcwailng the attention paid individual stars, particularly con- contrating their fire on the selection Of "all" teams. Individual fnats q so have been ovcrpraised, they feel
 Collins paid tribute 10 the all around cyccllencn Of Ty Cobb, who he said is the great player in the game.
 Hans Wagnor's awkwardncss. Napoleon Lajoie's grace. Rube . Waddclls easy going attitude and Christy MatheWsons admirable qualities made them also colorful personalities. he said.
 Summing up his views, Collins added:
 Ruth is a great snowman, fans go out 10 see him hit. They go out 10 see him because he is n great star. That is all very we'll but I would like to see the fans more interested in the home team, 10 sec them win anl show little en- , thusi~sm, Let's have more of the old fighting spirit. the local pride and less interest in the great indi- vidual stars of the diamond"
 So il would seem that football and baseball are open to much the same criticism.
