BEET GROWERS
WILL ORGANIZE
PLAN AN ASSOCIATION OF THOSE
WHO IRRIGATE-CALL WILL BE
ISSUED LATER IN YEAR.

SALT LAKE, January 25.--An organ
iZation of beet growers is to be formed
this year if present plans are carried
to maturity. Representative George
Austin of Lehi, who is in charge of the
agricultural department of the Utah
Sugar Company is one of the leaders
in the movement. He and others in
terested in beet growing will probably
issue call for a convention of all su-
gar beet growers who use irrigation,
to be held in Salt Lake later in the
year. The convention will probably
be held shortly after the session of
the National Irrigation congress in Og-
den beginning September s.
The idea is to organize all the beet
growers who use irrigation" explained
Mr. Austin, yesterday. The object is
tC study the different problems of beet
culture exchange ideas and take con-
certed action wherever necessary for
the good of the beet growers. 1t will
be a good business proposition for
every farmer interested in raising SUI
gar beets, for If he can learn how to get
more beets and a higher percentage of
sugar, 1t will come back to him
promptly when he sells his crop, more
than making up for any expense he
might have in attending a convention.
Utah is the pioneer in raising sugar
beets, and l hope that permanent head
quarters will be established in Salt
Lake. In my opinion it will not be adj
visable to take in states where irriga-
ton is not used, but practically all the
beet growers west of the Missouri river
use irrigation and should join the new
organization. The time will be ripe to
talk the thing up and bring it to a TO-
Gus when the national irrigation con-
vention is here. We can show the Wis
itors a few things about what we have
done in Utah along these lines, and
believe we can start out the organiza-
ton with a big membership"

WOMEN WANTED TO VOTE

The Boston municipal election this
year opened with the thermometer al 10
below zero. Many timid citizens stay
ed at home. SO far as can be judged,
the woman came a good deal nearer to
voting their full registration than the
men; but it will be some time before
the exact figures of the womens vote
can be ascertained. The Boston pa
pers are lamenting the APATHY" of the
male citizens; but it is not suggested
that those male citizens who showed
public spirit enough to wish to vote
ought to have been debarred from do
ing so because of the apathy of their
neighbors. That sort of reasoning lis
applied to women exclusively.-Wo

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

It was once thought that
medicine was all the more bene-
fetal for having a nasty taste and
smell. We now know that such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the SEN
ses than why food should do so.
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories of the past
few years is what we may call
the redemption of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in it's natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take cod liver oil, and the emul-
sions are quite as foul and abom-
Unable as the plain oil, no matter
what may be alleged TO the con-
trary. Now it is one of natures
laws that a medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as a medi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from it. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part of
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-
table as honey and contains the
nutritive and curative properties
of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by us from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites and the Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
The palate accepts it as it does
sugar, confectionery or cream.
Taken before meals it goes to the
very secret stronghold of diges-'
tive disorders: prevents and cures
Nervous Dyspepsia, Scrotula,
Throat and Lung Troubles and
all diseases due to impurity of
the blood. DR.. G. G. Shannon, of
Canada, says: 81 shall continue
its use with, l am sure, great ad-
vantage to my patients and salts
faction to myself" Has all the
virtues of cod liver oil; none of
its faults. Effective from the
first dose. Sold by all chemists.

A VILLAGE TO MOVE.

The village Of Benton, Neb., has de-
cided to move. This does not mean
the inhabitants alone. The buildings,
houses and stores. besides all the per-
sonal effects, will float down the Platte
river for three miles. Benton was
built on it's present site many years ago
with the expectation that when a rail-
road came that way it would pass
through the town Finally, when a
railroad did come it was found impTaC-
ticable to go nearer than three miles,
and as a compensation the officials of
the Union Pacific road offered induce
ments to the people of Benton to move.
This was accepted.

CAUSED SENSATION.
Porto Rican Abuses Court That Jailed
Him.

A Porto RiCan Vagrant caused con-
siderable of a sensation in Judge Will
cox's court yesterday afternoon. Fauto
was the name of the prisoner. He was
charged with vagrancy. The court
sentenced him to serve six months in
Jail at hard labor. Fauto flew into a
rage when sentence was pronounced.
He cursed the court, vowed vengeance
on the judge and asked to be shot. So
violent was the youth that he was re-
moved from the court room. He tried
to choke himself by using the lining
that had been taken from his hat. He
was handcuffed and put under restraint
Santiago and JacintO Selch Porto Ri
cans were also given six months at
hard labor. Santiago had been posing
as a bootblack. A Porto Rican named
Antonio is reported to be conducting a
fake employment establishment from
which his COuntrymen were purpOrted
to be supplied with bOotblaCking outfits
The court did not think much of this
establishment and said so. Selch was
charged with trying to eXtort money
from Police officer All On. The latter
adopted the child of Selch. Selch went
to All On's place recently and demand
ed the return of the child or else money.
Selch was accused in court of the theft
Of two watches. 1t was alleged that
he had given the watches to a Porto
Rican named PachecO. The latter was
later put under arrest.

THE REASON OF IT.

According to a Belgian paper wo-
man whose husband had lost his life in
Il railway accident received from the
company 10000 francs by way of com
pensation. Shortly after she heard
OF a traveller who had lost a leg and
had been paid 10000 francs. The widow
at once put on her bonnet and shawl
and went TO the office of the company.
"Gentlemen, how is this?" she asked,
you give 10000 francs for leg and
you allowed me only 10000 francs for
the loss of my husband"
Madam" was the reply the reason
Is plain Twenty thousand francs
won't provide him with a leg, but for
10 900 francs you can get a husband

DRUID ALTAR ENCHANTED.


Mr. ROsshard, the well-known Swiss
archaeologist, who has been carrying
on eXcava lions in the village of ChOeX,
canton of Valais, has discovered a
beautiful Druidical altar entirely made
of marble, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The altar facing toward the
east is at the extremity of a large un-
derground amphitheater whore the
crowd collected to view the human sa-
critics.. In the center is situated a
huge stone statue of the god Thor,
which is reached by a stone staircase.
1t was from the foot of this statue that
the priest dealt out justice and taught
the people. on each side of the god
1 Thor there are four other statues in
stone representing minor divinities.
The amphitheater is surrounded by
chambers cut into the solid rocks,
where the prisoners of war were con
fined prior to the sacrifice. Facing the
stone slab is an immense fireplace, haV-
ing closing doors. and able to contain
ten persons at a time. 1t was here
that the priests burned their victims.

because his father married for love
and not for rank
When Archduke Ernest chose a
wife he selected a Hungarian girl OF,
common rank He bought an estate
in Carinthla and he and his wife lived
there in retirement from the world.
A few years ago the Emperor. in
recognition of the way in which the
archduke had kept the disgrace" of
his marriage for love from the world
at large. conferred the rank of baroi :
ess on his wife. who thereupon as
sumed the name of Wallburg. The
imperial decree made no mention OF
her children. but 1t was assumed that.
as in all cases of morganatic mar
riage. they would inherit their moth
er's rank and title.
Archduke Ernest died in 1899, and
his wife followed him into the grave
few months later, but the Austrian
authorities refused TO acknowledge
their eldest son as Baron Wallburg.
On the contrary. efforts were made
by the legal representatives of the
Austrian court TO deny the legality of
marriage on the ground that no mem
Der of the imperial family can con-
tract a matrimonial union without
the Emperor's consent
Baron Wallburg was "a when he
