The initial number of The DESIGN

plete with helpful matters of inter
est, to feminine readers in particular.
The winter fashions and millinery
are charmingly set forth in artistic
colors and in black and white, and
the many other illustrations are of
equal merit. Designs of great orig
inality for masquerade and fancy cos
tunes are given in this issue, and
points on Dressmaking" contains
the valuable and seasonable advice
commenced in December on the "Mak.

three capital and entirely new ideas
given for holiday entertainment, viz:
"a New Fashioned Candy Pull" "An
Exposition Evening"" and "An End
of the Century Party" There are
three short stories: "Aunt Maria's
Castaway," "The Finger of Duty"
and "Jack Frost" the last tale for
the little folks. The parlor comedy
this month is "How Kate Proposed
and it may be performed effectively
by amateurs without the aid of spe
clal scenery or costumes. A very at
tractive illustrated article is "Some

doubtedly prove of great value to the
holiday hostess. "Congenial Fields

month of the woman designer. The

A GREAT SUCCESS.

last week:
Length Of season two months.
Tons of beets received $4,000.
Average per cent of sugar II.
Average per cent of purity "a.
Average price paid per ton $4.S3.
Paid growers over 100000.
The sugar has been of the first
quality and approved everywhere.
A much large acreage is wanted
next year. Send in your application
early.
The company will reserve fair
proportion OF the contracts for new
settlers, which are expected in large
numbers.
The first campaign has far sur
passed expectations in every respect
except the acreage. Many of the
farmers lacked faith in the industry
and either did not plant at all or put
in small acres. The reports of large
yields, however, are coming from all
parts of the valley and the high av-
erage per cent of sugar for the valley
insures big profit to the raisers,
in fact the crop has proved the most
profitable one that has ever been
raised in the valley. Another import
ant point is that the farmers are now
thoroughly convinced that the Beet
Sugar Company is doing business
strictly on the square, and is using
every endeavor to assist the farmers
in making success of the industry.
The company will probably enlarge
the capacity OF the factory next year
and be in shape to handle 100000
tons of beets during the usual run
ing season. At the price paid this
year this will mean about 100000
to be distributed to the farmers of
the valley, and the effect of the dis
tribution and circulation OF this large
sum will be felt by every industry
and business located here. There
fore every business man should ap.
point himself on a committee to help
increase the acreage and get new set
tiers to come in and plant beets.
The Beet Sugar Company as an
inducement to assist in getting far
mers to come here and raise beets,
makes the liberal offer to return one
half the railroad fare and freight on
household goods from any point on
the Santa Fe Route to the Arkansas
valley to any settler coming here for
the purpose of raising sugar beets.
With the wonderful advantages of
fered by this valley in every line of
agriculture, the special profits which
are afforded by the great sugar beet
industry, aud this liberal rebate of
one half railroad charges by the COM
pany, it ought not to be any trouble
to induce settlers to come to Prowers
county where there are still thous
ands of acres of land and water, yet
to be had at reasonable figures. The
company has shown a disposition to
do everything in their power not only
to help the farmers make a success of
the industry but also to encourage
new settlers. It is now up to the
people to do their share.
Every citizen of Lamar and Prov
ers county should make an effort to
induce new settlers to come to this
county by writing letters to their
friends in the east, and sending them
copies of the local papers and other
advertising matter, especially data
concerning the wonderful results of
this first season Of the sugar beet in

There is strife among the owners of

some notifications while q part IL

the paper has not been paying venture
and the big profits for sales the past week
seem to have convinced some OF the
