Governor Hoch will not be inaugurated for second time until January 14. His message sent to the senate and house today is as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: "In obedience to constitutional requirement and in harmony with custom, i transmit herewith my biennial mes-age for your consideration.

"You meet under auspices and inspiring circumstances. The state is enjoying unprecedented prosperity. The year just closed was the most prosperous in its history, and this prosperity was limited to no locality and confined to no interest. The yield of wheat aggregated over ninety- HOUSE AND SENATE AT TOPEKA HAVE ORGANIZED. have been decided upon and only a few minor ones are yet to be settled.

There will be little or no change in the contract this year. The price of beets will remain at $5 a ton, the price paid this season and the same price will be paid for siloing the beets, twenty cents a ton. These are the principal features of the contract. This last season demonstrated the necessity of the silo and the farmers have made little or no objection to It. Manager Gillespie in speaking of this today said: "Upon the silo depends much of the success of the sugar beet industry in the Arkansas valley, and I think the farmers recognize this.

When ther is too large a quantity of beets in the sheds, it is impossible for them to get as much air as they need and they disintergate and a part of the sugar is changed into glucose. The beets can be worked up but the per cent of sugar is lower. The beet shels are large enough to accommodate 50,000 tons of beets but I do not want to see over 10,000 tons of beets in them at any one time. When the beets are siloed, its keeps thm in better condition and the per cent-age of sugar is higher." Speaking of the coming season, Mr. Gillespie said that if the beets should ripen as early next season as they did this season that the factory would begin making sugar the first of September and this would lessen the need for siloing.

8. Rev. Dr. Henry A. Buchtel, was inaugurated governor today.

The oath was administered to him and he delivered his inaugural address in Trinity Methodist Episcopal church. The governor concluded the message with a prayer followed by the Lord's prayer. A considerable opposition developed in both house and senate yesterday when the report of the joint committee on the inauguration of the governor was read. Since the decision of the committee that the inaugural ceremonies will be held in Trinity church, there has been a steadily growing opposition to the selection of a denominational church for holding the ceremony instead of the capitol building, as has been the practice heretofore. The house started the ball rolling by sending for the house members of the committee, which was then in session.

Representative Dolph made the report to the house. He told how the Democratic members of the committee had been the first to fall in with the express wishes of the governor re "One of the best things Garden City could do," says H. O. Meek, "Is to establish a paid fire department with a combination chemical and hose wagon. Even if it was started with but one man on a permanently paid basis the saving in insurance would soon pay for the expense of wagon Bigley's military band held its annual election of officers at the meeting held in the court house last night.

In this great work, at the threshold of your labors, the executive department tenders you cordial cooperation and submits for your earnest consideration numerous recommendations."

It is not necessary to go at this on a big scale, but the city could not make a better move for everybody than to start a paid department." Mr. Meek is qualified to speak on this subject, as he organized a paid department for his former home town in Missouri, and had the satisfaction of seeing it bring the results he predicts for Garden City. secretary and Charles Weeks treasurer.
