SUGAR BEAT RAISERS SADLY DISAPPOINTED Munster Growers Protest at Size of Bonus They Received This Week MTN'STER. Ind., Feb. 25. The sugar bett raisers in this community have hen receiving their bonus checks from the Holland-St. Iouis Sugar Co, this week amounting to 7 cents per ton delivered. The amount of thv bonus was quite a disagreeable surprise to the farmers as they were expecting$2.00 per ton. They had contracted the beets for $10.00 per i.-" and In addition a bonus over a certain price reeclved for sugar. The River dale company paid their beet. raisers $12.00 per ton and as the misers say they were promise dat least as much as the Riverdale company would pay. This 7 cents a ton bonus makes them sore and It looks at present as If the Holland-St. Louis Co. would not get beets here this coming season, Thay offer $6.00 per ton this year.

No friend lias appeared thus far to say a word In his behalf and Levine has refuse,! to talk. While it Is Intended to place him in jail at Indianapolis to await a hearing before the grand jury, federal officials have received Information which leads them to believe that a surety company with a branch at Indianapolis, will furnish the bond as soon aj he gets there.

The case thus far has proven to be one of the best covered to come to the attention of federal agents for they have bee nunabb to connect him in any way with tht organizations for importing . liquor which are known to exist.
