The sugar beet industry in Wood
County, Ohio has suffered a re-
lapse since 1924. For instance in
1924, Wood County farmers plant
ed 14,367 acres of beets. In 1929
the acreage had fallen to 4,066.
The beet sugar companies evident
ly alarmed at the loss of farmers
willing to be robbed by them are
now sending their agents out in
Sandusl1y county trying to get
farmers to grow beets for them
under contract.
The contract offered by the beet
sugar companies is a brazen in
suit to any intelligent farmer, but
many farmers in Sandusky Coun-
ty are in such desperation that
they are willing to take chance.
Under this contract the farmer is
bound from the very start. First
of all he agrees to buy ali his
seed from the company at 15c per
pound. The company obligingly
agrees to supply him all the seed
he wants, taking of course a lien
on the crop.
The farmer agrees to allow the
Company to absolutely supervise
in detail the planting and care of
the crop. Paragraph No. 5 is par
ticularly vicious. 1t provides that
the Company may if it is not sat-
isfied with the way the farmer
tends his crop. enter upon the
land and care for the crop and
charge expense to the farmer.
One of the most vicious provi-
sions of the contract is Paragraph
No. 8 in the list of provisions
agreed to by the farmer. It reads
as follows: "To contract for field
labor under form of contract APP
proved by the Company providing
among other things that any and
all disputes between the grower
and field laborers shall be submit
ted to the Company or its repre-
sentative, and its decision shall be
final and binding"
This provision makes the farm
er a slave driver for the beet sug-
ar company, that Is IN cases where
the farmer has sufficient acreage

that he must exploit more labor
than his family supplies.
The farmer agrees to deliver
the crop to the company and &C
cept the company's weight after
the company has decided how
much tare 10 take off. The com
pany does not agree to pay a sin
gle cent for the crop unless it (the
company can show met proceeds"
on the sale of sugar, molasses and
beet pulp. The company agrees
to give the grower one-half the
net proceeds on such sales.
Of course the company agrees
to pay the farmer in two INSTALL
ments of 81 per ton each in cad
vance" after all the beets are de-
livered, on his share of the net
proceeds, providing there is any
thing left after seed and other
necessary expenses are paid.
Altogether this contract is a
most enslaving, vicious yellow
dog" document. Poor farmers and
farm laborers must unite in fight
against it. Poor farmers must
unite and sell their beets on their
own terms TO the beet companiesl
Farm laborers must organize and
fight for more wages and improv-
ed standards of living in the beet
field whether the beet sugar COM
panies agree to it or not.
Poor farmers! Join the United
Farmers League! Farm Labor
ers! Join the Agricultural Work
ers Union, affiliated to the mill
tant trade union center, the Trade
Union Unity League.

The work of repairing the dam age done to the Lipman block on
 Main street, by fire two weeks ago, Is progressing. The Anderson Bros who own the sandy and lunch store, where most of the damage occurred, will open up again as soon as the building Is repaired. Chief Robert Henderson in speak ing of the fire last evening, stated that the new equipment recently purchased for the department, con- sisting of gas masks were great help in checking the fire. When | the fire companies arrived at the scene the building was filled with smoke. but with the masks the | frement were able to enter the building and get at the seat of the trouble. A few years ago, when this same block burned, the fire men were unable to fight 1t prop erly for the lack of equipment, and the building burned. The firemen did some fine work at the last blaze and were able to check the flames with very little loss to the building. The high school basketball teams will play the Collinsville high school on the local gym court this evening. The girls game will get started at 7:30 o'clock to be fol- lowed by the boys game.

Autoist Scheduled To Leave Hospital; Returns To Station
|olice Ready to Receive Young Man Whose Auto Ran Down and Fatally Injured Two on Thanksgiving
 !" Night-Has Been III Past Month

Fl Providing Thomas Hovda, 31, Bales crew manager from Brooklyn,
 N. r.. obtained Q bond of $1,000 or Succeeds in paging friends to come
 to his assistance he will be trans- ferred this afternoon from his cosy
 room at the Waterbury hospital to the desolate quarters of the main Retention room at police headquar- fers. The bond of $1,000 would
 have been s5,000 and perhaps
 $10.000 but for the fact that the young man is recovering from an attack of serious sickness and the Authorities are endeavoring to make It as convieninet as possible for him 10 return to his home. Hovda had been in the hospital since Decem- fber 4th and in the custody of the police since Thanksgiving night .when his car ran down and fatal ly injured Thomas V. Griffin, 72, and Timothy Ryan, 50, prominent residents of the eastern section of the city. The two men were cross. fng the street when run down.
 Hoyda was taken i'll while being detained at police headquarters and was on the verge of death
 when removed to the hospital. He was found to be suffering from gas-
 tfic hemorrhages. Blood transfu- ssions were found necessary. After over Q months treatment at the Hospital, Coroner John T. Monzanl and the police were notified by the
 i1Cspital authorities that Hovda
 was to be discharged to-day. Un-

NO ARRESTS
 IN STORE BREAKS
Officials May Locate Guil- ty Parties Through Aid
 of Fingerprints
SAME LINE OF ATTACK

Yesterday mornings daring bur glaries at the Dunphy pharmacy on the corner of East Main and Well ton streets and the Ideal Pharma cy on the corner of North Main street and Spencer avenue were investi- gated again today by members of the detective bureau.
 Both "breaks" showed the same line of attack and although the police were not admitting 1t cor responding finger prints were found in both stores, which indicates that the two burglaries were the work of the same parties.
 Less than $50 in cash and mer- chandise was taken from both places, but the fact that front win dows were smashed in stores on such busily frequented streets as North Main and East Main streets reveals either daring or desperat- eness that the authorities have not been confronted with in many years. The responsible parties singled out drug stores and felt either assured that patrolmen were far away or confident of getaway in event of discoverey.
 Members of the detective bureau questioned residents in the vicinity of both stores today in hopes of afflxing the exact hour of both breaks"
 Whether the fingerprints corro- spend with any of the authorities collection was not disclosed today.
