Cause of Failure With Sugar Beets.
The raising of sugar beets is not an
easy task, especially to the western
farmer. The eastern farmer is ac-
customed to hoed crops and to giving
intensive culture, but the western
farmer has been in the habit for a
generation past of raising crops that
about take care of themselves, at
least till harvest time. For him to
attempt to raise a crop of anything
rnttC ~ urres constant attention and
the keeping down of weeds is little
out of his line. Sugar beets demand
a great deal of labor and prompt at
tention. 1t does not do to neglect
them for some weeks, while cheap
help is being waited for. Not only
must the weeds be kept down, but
the beets themselves must be thinned
as soon as they reach the size de.
manding it. This is task of good pro.
portions when the beets cover ten
acre field or larger. Labor pays we'll
when used in growing this crop, but
it cannot be stinted. That such labor
is difficult to get just when the beets
need 1t most all farmers know. The
heat of summer and the rains make
the weeds grow with surprising rap
idity, and 1t is at this time that labor
is employed in other things about the
farm. If there come several days OF
rains that make 1t difficult to get onto
the land so much the worse for the
labor problem.

Cheerfulness costs nothing. and it is
the best capital.
lt draws dividends all the time.
1t is always going out in boundless
beneficience, but the supply is always
increasing.
Even the stringent may spare a
smile. 1t costs nothing Refusal Is
due to plain meanness.
Cheerh,lness is a good partner in
business. II helps wonderfully in
making money, and It is indispensable
in truly enjoying 1t when made.
The travelling salesman furnishes a
good example of the actual cash value
of cheerfulness in business. His stor.
les, his jokes and his hearty laugh
clinch many contract that has been
held open for him because he Is a
good fellow.
People instinctively fall into the
habit Of going to store where a sales
man or saleswoman gives a generous
mood OF cheerfulness along with the
purchase.
The lawyer or doctor who Is a good
fellow has more friends and gets more
good will and more money than the
crusty fellows do.
II is proverblal that the politician
owes most of his success TO his jollity.
He may be small man-generally is
but in his veneer OF bright smiles
he is acceptable, when an abler man,

From behind your newspaper listen

the little folks do not know would cost

be good things for uncles and aunts

The Christmas spirit has laid hold Of
the hearts Of the young folks, and love
has grown and charity widened.
IL is one of the beautiful things
about Christmas.
II kills selhshness. Your boy has
learned to deny himself in order to
make a happy smile appear on your
face. He loves his mother so much
that he'd go without almost anything
because OF the JOY that is to enter her
breast on Christmas morning.
Il comes to him that poor children
in the neighborhood will have no
Christmas and from his store Of pen
nies he gives with unstInted hand.
Your children are learning one OF
the finest lessons OF life-that there
is more real JOY and heart content in
giving than receiving.
All this is the part of Christmas that
leaves an impress. Il is part Of
character building. It will make Of
the boy a better man, and of the girl
a more noble woman. II broadens
and II beauties. It feeds the soul.
You that have children should be hap
by at this Christmas time, for no ma.
terial gifts. whether OF gold or prec-
ious stones, can equal the richness Of
the unfolded love of children.
