Beet Sugar Items.

Lehi Banner: Exaggerated reports
have been floating around regarding
the amount of damage done to the beet
crop by last Fridays wind The people
at the sugar company's office place the
loss at 10 per cent and that is in this
district with the exception of a few
fields injured at West Jordan. Most
of the damage here is done to patches
on the south side of the creek. In some
places where the land is inclined to be
sandy the little plants were cut off or
blown out of the ground. Patches that
had been recently rolled suffered badly.
In many cases they will have to be re-
planted and some farmers have already
began to do this. On the Willis farm,
owned by Mark and Heber Austin, the
crop was entirely ruined but the soil
was in good condition and replanting
began yesterday. This means loss of
seed and will throw the beets a little
later No damage is reported from the
southern districts.

Dressing and matinee sacques are in
dispensable garments, and there are
many pretty ways to make them for
summer wear. The materials used are
fine cambria, lawn and wash silk,
trimmed in lace or embroidery and
with ribbons. At the back thew are
shaped to the figure, but are loose fitting
in the front. To make a matinee sacque
very dressy it takes no end of trim
ming and material The beauty of
sacque of this kind is in its daintiness
and freshness.

The public sentiment in favor of our
making our own sugar is so intense
that a sufficient duty to accomplish it
seems sure to be enacted. The new adj
ministration is pledged to it, it is in
harmony with Republican policy, and
manifestly to our interests as nation.
Surely the great army of farmers and
working men who sorely need relief
will be listen to by the party which has
pledged itself in its national platform
to foster the domestic sugar industry.
This promise redeemed, the industry
can be built up to large proportions.

the business, if they and the beet sugar
producers work together for their mu-

The nature of the sugar beet is to
grow deep. and with proper cultivation
and soil it will bury itself entirely un-
foreground. with the exception of a
small leaf crown. Hence the reason
for deeply-worked Soils which allow
the beet to develop to a good size with
out crowding itself out of the ground
By this means beet is obtained. with
but few rootlets, of good conical shape,
penetrating the earth deeply without
resistance, and producing a large prod
ute both in sugar and tonnage.

which is the seat Of many government
Offices and the center Of important man
ufactures of cotton, silk, woolens and
cutlery, having a population normally
of over 100000, has been invaded by an
extensive migration from the outlying
districts, where scarcity OF winter rains
was the rule. Government activity, in
connection with the irrigation work and
other public enterprises, and thorough
precautions taken for the relief of the
unfortunate have averted an acute crisis.
Half crops only were secured through
out this section of the country this
season, but the fodder supply is good
and II is hoped the worst effects of the
famine will be STAYED off for two months
longer at least. The correspondent has
visited the local poorhouse, accomo-
dating about 1000 persons. A piteous
spectacle was here presented by the

STRIKE ORDERED.
Employees OF Barry g. Co. OF Brockton
Sustained by Union.

Brockton. Mass. Feb. All the shop
employees OF 7. ID. Barry g. Co.
met the officers OF the local union yes
terday afternoon to decide whether or
not strike should be ordered as q re-
suit OF Mr.. Barry's refusal TO pay his
sole fasteners and edge makers 2ls cents
per pair instead Of $3.50 per day. After
conference Of some hours the union
ordered strike. and unless q COM
promise Is effected the men who were
locked out last week will not go back to
work. although promised their old sit
uations by Mr.. Barry
The history OF the trouble dates back
to last Monday, when Mr.. Barry. unable
to come TO an agreement with his men,
closed his shop and made arrangements
for carrying on his business In the
neighboring town of North Easton. The
local board Of trade, however, took up
the matter and persuaded Mr.. Barry
to reconsider his action. and the latter
promised to open his factory today IL
the men would return to work at the old
schedule OF prices. In the meantime
the men who were suspicious OF Mr..
Barry's threatened removal from the
city held a meeting. and voted, 96 to So,
to support the shoe fasteners. and the
matter was then laid before the Boot
and Shoe union. At the medting yester-
day of the union when the strike was
decided upon. the representatives from
the Barry factory were not allowed to
vote on the matter. the union officials
deciding that the factory hands were
already on record as favoring a strike.
The Barry factory is considered one OF
the best in the city, the work being reg
ular and the pay the highest Of any fac
tory in the city. and 250 hands are usual
ly employed. Mr.. Barry says that, II
the men do not return by noon today
he will carry out his original plan of
moving to North Easton.

Against the Grays.


Against the Grays.
r Providence defeated Salem Saturday
light in a sharp game. Salem made the
first tally, but after that they could not
score. Hipson sent IL in once, but the
ball would not stay there.
The element OF luck in polo was shown
in the failure of the Salems to score on
plays which were thoroughly we'll made,
while one OF the goals scored by Provi-
dence seemed to be made without half
the trying and yet without apparent
fault on the part of their opponents. Tie
home team played a superior passing
game.
Mills ignored fouls even when men
sailed down the rink holding back oppo-
nents with jerseys stretched out after
the style of an elastic skin man. The
only foul on Sword was for going down
to make stop, and under the rules it
should have given another goal to Salem.
