BEET PRICES
A sliding scale contract paying $5
per ton for beets when tho average
net price obtained for sugar is $4.50
per bag and tho average sugar con
ton in beets sliced is 15 per" cent,
was proposed by tho Great Western
Sugar Company nt a confrenco hero
this afternoon with growers' repres
entatives. Additional payments would be
made if tho sugar content or net
price Is higher. Small reductions
would follow lower prices of sugar
content, but In no case would the
grower recelvo less than $4.50 per ,
ton, tho initial payneut on delivery
of all beets from districts sorved byi
tho Colorado and Nebraska factories '
of the company. ,
The $5 mark was stated to be a
normal expectation since both tla

is wrong. Tho child's min4 is pla-
tlc. It quickly receives impressions
and retains tnem. At no tlmo In
life does one learn so much in a giv

probable that if wo placo a value
for an hour spent in tho school
room as equal to the avorago of the
valuo of tho hours spent in labor
after leaving tho school and entering
active life, wo will havo about the
correct amount. This la if a man
throughout his oarnlng Hfo perlo
earns 50 cents per hour for tho time
he works, it would be fair to place
that value on each hour spent in tho
school room. If ho Bhould earn $5
per hour, then tho tlmo he spent in
tho school room was worth $5 per
hour. Your observation supports
