NINE DOLLARS PER ACRE IS AVERAGE OFFERED FOR BEETS (furnished from First Page) At the figures offered for next year's beet crop, Mr. Garnsey is the price we can afford to pay for next year's crop. The question of flat rate, or sliding scale similar to contracts we have put out during the past three years has been a difficult one to decide, as the sentiment seems to be almost evenly divided between flat rate and sliding scale. The Directors have decided to continue the sliding scale, and for the average beet testing 16 percent and under 16.5 percent to pay $9.00 per ton. In doing this, we feel that The Great Western Sugar Company is gambling on war conditions. The risk we are taking is a big one, and we are making this prices solely on patriotic grounds. We feel it is our duty to pay the best price we can; and we hope that our growers will be satisfied, and in turn, if for no other reason than patriotic motives, grow the largest crop of beets that has ever been raised in our various districts. New contracts will be gotten out as soon as possible; and we hope that our action will meet with your approval as well as that of the growers. Very truly yours, (Signed) C. S. MOREY, Chairman Board of Directors. We are pleased to announce that a much larger acreage will be planted.

If you did, you are most certainly proud of it. The Second Liberty Loan was over-subscribed, the amount subscribed for the second issue by the American people being over $5,000,000,000, a feat which every true American should well be proud of. It is the answer that the United States has given to the Kaiser and the Imperial German government and it is true evidence that the American people are backing the United States government in a most substantial and patriotic manner. With the closing of subscriptions of Liberty Bonds on October 27, Uncle Sam has shown the world that she is in the war with a full determination to win for the cause of justice and liberty.

Last evening was Hallowe'en and as usual, the younger folks engaged in the Hallowe'en pranks, but we have not thus far heard of any serious damage being done. The custom of destroying property which prevailed several years ago is fast becoming a thing of the past. However, this morning it was noted that store windows were marked up, small buildings upset and misplaced, and other articles of property disarranged, this being the extent of the festivities engaged in by the Hallowe'en marauders.
