The test made last week by the
Eaton Sugar company of beets
raised in this vicinity was not sat
isfactory, and beets for another
test were secured by the com
panys agent early this week.
The result of this later test has
not been made known, but it is
thought that it will show an i'm
provement over the former test
and that the work of harvesting
the beets will be commenced early
next week. The first test showed
the percentage of sugar to be
good-over 14-but the purity
was found to be below the stand
ard N some Of the fields, this be-
ing due to the unripe condition of
the bCcts.

themselves and act as though they

gaze of the people who pass comment
upon them This morning the female
pheasant got out and tried to fly through
a window glass over the balcony on the

with the window pane rendered her IN

al feathers out of the top of her head.
She was captured and confined in A
