AUSTIN BEET
GROWERS HOLD
BIG MEETING

A representative number of beet
growers of the Austin and Pavne
beet dumps met at Fairview school
house Saturday afternoon.
The recently organized Western
Slope Beet Growers association of
which the Austin district is a part
adopted their bylaws at the meet
ing. E. C. Peyton is president. and
! l.. c. Weaver secretary of the local
There were also present representa-
tives from Olathe, Grand Junction.
Mack and Iona.
Considerable discussion was had
among the members as to certain in.
terests working their way into offices
in the Western Slope organization of
beet growers.
w. H. Cox, of Iona, president, VIM.
A. Knapp and NJ. G. Hinshaw, Grand
Junction, directors of this association.
were present. King Banks, director
from California Mesa, and Mr.. Atkin-
son and Eugene NJ. Stone of Olathe
were in attendance.
Mr. Banks spoke relative to the
contract of the Holly Sugar corpora
tiOn as compared with that of the
Great Western Sugar company. He
thought it unwise to attempt a change
this year, as the organization was not
in a position to make any demands.
and he thought such and action would
set the association back. He spoke
of the cost of transporting help.
which he said was equal to 55c per
ton.
E. NJ. Stone of Olathe did not quite
concur with the statements made by
some of the speakers. He said that a
few years ago more than 1000 acres
of sugar beets were signed up before
we had the factory. He believed the
acreage should be assigned to a com
mittee.
He criticized T. w. Mcneil for his
activity against the Mountain States
Beet Growers association, which a
few years ago was quite strong in the
Olathe district. He did not believe
that Mr.. Mcneil should be on the
board of directors, owing to his in
terlocking interests. He said Mr.
Mcneil worked through various organ
izations, including the Chamber of
Commerce, etc, and that he could
not be depended upon. He said that
all the beet growers of the Olathe
district desired was a fair contract.
Mr.. Atkinson of Olathe, who was
formerly member of the Mountain
States Beet Growers association, talk
ed on the subject of sound and sane
organization for the beet growers.
Mr.. Williamson of Austin thought
that any man who served as a direct
or of the district association or had
any conflicting interests whatever,
either stock in a sugar company, or
anything else whereby his interests
would conflict with those of the grow
er, should not be permitted to serve
as such
G. H. Hinshaw of Grand Junction
proposed a resolution calling upon the
district association to call a special
meeting whereby only dirt farmers
would be eligible to become directors.
Considerable discussion and com.
parisOns were made of the 1924 CON
tract of the Great Western Sugar
company with the contract proposed
here
The meeting was very enthusiastic.
The growers seemed to be in favor of
raising beets in 1925. At the same
time they voiced their sentiments and
went on record in favor Of demanding
contract which would result in the
highest possible figure for sugar
beets.
The Austin local is said to be one
Of the most closely organized in this
territory.

.832 STATE VIEWS
SENT TO JUDGES
IN FOTO CONTEST

Eight hundred and thirty-two
photographs were entered IN tne
statewide "See Arizona" photo con-
test which closed October l. ac-
cording to a report received tnls
week from the Arizona Industrial
congress which has completed the
work of collecting and tabulating
the entries for submission to the
Judges. Counting enlargements
sent in with many of the pictures,
more than 900 photographs were
received. All parts of the state be-
ing represented.
To facilitate speedy judging, the
statewide committee Of judges has
authorized a preliminary check by
an elimination committee and then
final decision by the judges as a
whole. This will afford a better
opportunity for determining the
best pictures before final award OF
the cash prizes of $50, S25 and $40.
So many excellent pictures were
entered the work of the judges will
be far from easy.
The contest also was particular
ly successful in bringing out scores
of striking new views OF many
hitherto unpictured scenic spots in
all parts of the state, which will
be of great value for publicity pur-
poses. Many of the best views sub
mitted will be published in the
newspapers, and in some cases,
magazines, in the east and on the
coast, and will also be used in de-
scriptive booklets and displays in
the state itself.
Awards of the prizes in the con-
test will be made by a committee of
judges consisting of John Ball,
Bisbee; Fred Barrows, Phoenix;
Tom Bat, Prescott; A r. Buehman,
Tucson; Carl c. Meyhew, Flagstaff;
Robert Rae, Douglas; and 1. D..
Rickerson, Yuma. Owing to the
large number of entries, it prob
ably will be the end of the month
before the results of the contest
can be announced.

Vic Hanny Kills Bear
Without Least Effort

Vic Hanny, accompanied by H d.
McVay, while out on a hunting trip
in the Fort Defiance region in
northeastern Arizona, killed black
bear supposed to be the one which
cattle men of the north have been
after for years. Vic shot the mon

the exact weight was not mentioned

it is believed to be a whopper since
it was necessary for the hunters
to cut it into five pieces in order
to get it to their machines.
The two hunters left last week
for the hunting grounds in search
of wild turkey, deer, and other big
game. However, the wire only
mentioned the bear which is now
enroute to Phoenix by express
Phoenix Gazette.

Aside from the enhanced beauty of Ford cars, one
Of the things you will notice first is the comfort of
the seats, which have been moved back and are low,
deep and wide.
Marked convenience has been effected in the Tudor
Sedan, Coupe and open cars by placing the gasoline
tank-of greater capacity beneath the cowl where
it affords better gravity flow and can be readily
filled from outside.
Widened transmission brake drum and band con-
tribute to smoother braking action increased brak
