only salvation for the crop. There is
some danger of injuring beet crop
by a too early irrigation, tending as
it does to produce a sprantling root
A point worthy of mention at this
time is suggested by visit to field
few days since. The grower had
attempted to increase the size of the
irrigating furrow and in SO doing had
thrown two or three inches of dirt
on the seed row. burying the plants SO
deep that it was impossible for the
plant to work its way out. At ev-
cry point where the seed was at the
proper depth there wss a good stand
of beets. but at the places at which
the irrigation furrow had been so in
creased as to cover the plants deep
er, none at all. In case it seems nee
essary to re-crease the field, and this
will not be necessary provided th
ground is properly prepared for
crop. care should be taken not 10 ccv-
er the seed rows, for in BY far the
majority of cases the stand will he

KNIGHT rEMPLARs
Attend Church and Then Indulge the
Inner Man.

There was special service Mt the
or OF the Knight Templars. who at
tended 1 N a body. Banners OF the
order hung behind the altar and in the
chancel. Large bowls OF lilacs were
placed In the windows and in conven-
lent spots around the church. Sir
Knights were In full dress and made
n very imposing appearance as they
marched In twos up tie aisle to the
scnts assigned them. Their white
plumcs were lovely-prcttiest part OF
the costume to the writer's notion.
They wore the prettiest buttonhole
bouquets, too.
Yesterday was the Sunday after As.
cension day. no the sermon preached
WAS one suitable to the occasion.
Rev. c. u. Perins took for his text the
ninth verse OF the cath psalm. 'Iift
up your heads. o ye gates and be yc
lifted up ye everlasting doors and the
King OF Glory shall come In"
The speaker first sketched the DIFF
fercnt festivals Of the christian year
and touched briefly on the reasons for
observing the same. Many persons
observe the festivals such an Christ
mas and know not why they do IT,
They give and receive presents but
the spiritual signihcancc-that OF the
gift OF Christ to the world. Is by them
unrecognixed.
Taking up Ascenslontide the full
meaning of the seasons celebration
and the reason for rejoicing was thor
oughly discussed. AS Christ under
went trials and temptations and con
quercd them. We have the assurance
that II We live like Christ We shall
have the same help and reward.
Christianity is not as some people
seem to imagine n rockingchair where
one may sit at ease. but long march
with frequent battles. although there
are resting places between. Those
who would wear the crown must bear
the cross. The JOY OF the resurrcc
ton will be doubly dear to those who
have mourncd with Christ In Geth-
semane. Unto those who have trust
ed In him, following In his steps. II
will be given to ascend with Him on
high.
After the service the Knights march
cd to their hall, whore they were
