Meetings nt which war memorials
wore bestowed by the French gov
ernment upon the relatives of our
fallen heroes In the world war, were
hold on Sunday, Washington's birth
day, throughout the length and
breadth of this broad land, many of
tnom very elaborate nuairs with the
greatest orators of the day, but at
none of them could greater sympathy,
higher tribute or deeper gratitude- be
paid than was oxprcssod by Post Com
mander It. O. Mackintosh at the
Franklin auditorium for these boy a
oC North Platte mid Lincoln county
who gave their lives that liberty might
live. As for the address on Ameri
canization by the Hon. H. M. Grimes,
well might it be for the country, could
ho have shouted it from the house
tops for all the world to hear and
take heed of the menace of radical
ism that is creeping into our very
homes . Judge Grimes' appeal was a
clarion call for the preservation of
American principles and ideals and
mot witli frequent applause from un
lappreGjativo audience. Post Com
mander J. E. Evans of the G. A. R..
linked the past and present together
in some well chosen remarks and paid
tribute to the women's hands which
have been ready to servo when duty
calls. The Community Chorus, con
ducted by Mrs. O. H. Schriver, lead
in the singing of our national hymns
and Stamp's orchestra lent its ser
vices to a most memorable occasion
Following are the names of our boys
whom the French government in
proud to honor: Harry Churchill, Noel
C. Donegan, Carvin R. Duckworth
Paul R. Martin, Albert Leonard Oar
roll, Raymond F. Burgner, Ralph C.
Robison, Frederick J. Gill, Orva C.

There arc relatives of several oth
er soldiers who died in service who
live in North Platte for whom me
morials were not received from the
government. If these relatives will
call on Post Commander Mackintosh
of the American Legion, applications
for the memorials will bo made.

WHAT
WANT.
The Keith and Lincoln Counties' Beet
Growers Association, composed of 105 beet
growers of the two counties, respectfully
submit the following to the public:
We ask that the Great Western Beet Sug
ar Co. and the American Beet Sugar Co.,
for which companies we grow beets, give us
a minimum flat price of $12 per ton for our
beets, based on a wholesale price of $9.00
per 100 pounds of sugar, and an additional
$1.50 per ton for beets for each $1.00 per
100 pounds of sugar in excess of $9.00, this
excess to be based upon the average price of
sugar during the months of November to
March inclusive. In making this demand of
tho sugar companies we are acting in co
operation with the National Federation of
Beet Growers which was recently organized
in Denver and at which seven beet pro
ducing states were represented. Wo be
lieve that the sliding scale is just to tho
growers, for certainly the sugar factories
can afford to pay the growers more for beets
when sugar is selling at $15.00 per 100
pounds than when it sells for $10 per 100
pounds, as in both instances the cost of
manufacture is tho same.
In making these demands, we are not
placing ourselves in the position of profit
eers, for we are willing to grow beets for
$12 per ton if the factories will maintain
sugar at a maximuin price of $9.00 per 100
pounds wholesale.
Do you think our position is unfair?

the difference between a real line car like
the various models of the Chandler line and
the common product. Just like a line watch,
the good manufacturer dresses up tho ex
terior of a line car so that it is pleasing, but
the works of either fine watch or car must
be built up to a high standard, also.
Chandler motor cars aro line products of
nutkers who never tried to make anything
cheap and today such motor equipment .is
Bosch magneto, Morse silent motor chains,
solid aluminum motor base, show the in
built quality of this car. Have any engineer
ing or technical export go over this car me
chanically and you will be astonished as to
how much of real quality you are buying at
tho moderate price now asked for the
Chandler motor cars. The standard touring
car is still $1 805 f. o. b. factory.
