USE MANY WORDS EACH DAY.
Men Ordinarily Give Utterance to
Many Thousands of Phrases
in Twenty-Four Hours.

Il have been trying to figure oui
how many words the average mar

gentleman who has a penchant fol
peculiar things, according TO the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, but | have
been unable to reach any satisfac-
tory conclusion on account of the
different rates of speed at which diff
ferent persons talk. OF course, ]
have no reference TO the different
kinds of words which may be found
in the daily vocabulary of the aver
age man, but l am talking about the
total number of words uttered,
counting repetitions and all, during
every "a hours. There is the quiet,
melancholy gentleman, who will not
speak on an average of 500 words
a day, and there are many who for
one reason and another would not
utter anything like this number. On
the other hand there is the converse
tional Calling gun, not always a
woman either, who will roll off words
at a fearful rate of speed, and whose
aggregate for one day would run up
to dizzy heights. Then there is the
normal talker, who will strike a
good, decent ayerage-the man who
will neither bore you with his indif-
fereut silence nor tire you with his
verbosity.
But suppose we figure that the
average person will utter an average
Of 80 words every minute, or about
51600 words for every "a hours. OF
course, no person will talk this much,
as the windiest OF men and women
would probably break down before
hey had talked as much as 81 col
lmns in the average daily newspa-

much time each person puts in talk

women are situated so that they can

REST HOUSES; NO LIQUORS.
Arthur Chamberlain Explains His
Plan of Reform In Tenn
perance.

Much interest has been aroused In a
novel departure which is to be made in
the direction OF temperance reform by
Arthur Chamberlain, chairman Of the
Birmingham (Eng) licensing justices.
Recognizing that the progress Of his
scheme for the reduction Of tempta-
tions 10 alcoholic excess among the
working classes by the reduction Of
licenses is greatly hampered by the lack
Of alternative provisions for public con-
yenience. he has formed a local com
mittee to supply the want by selecting
suitable houses to be run on normal
public house lines, with the sole excep-
ton that no intoxicating liquors will be
sold therein.
Explaining his scheme, Mr.. Chamber
lain said that clubs and coffee houses
do not meet the difficulty, being con
fined in one case TO members and in the
other to a continually changing custom,
making them suited only to the center
of the town
we propose" he said, ito start or
binary pubic houses near main thor
ouehfares in thiekly populated working
class districts, where any passerby may
enter without formalities and obtain
comfort and refreshment. and doubtless
also amusement, without the necessity
Of purchasing alcohol.
The effort is to retain the rest and
seclusion and familiar company Of the
licensed house without the temptation
to drink. BY practical experiment we
hope in this way TO ascertain what
prejudices and tastes will have to be
met before the public house can be SUI
'erseded in the favor OF the working

A Talk to the farmers.

The Sanilac Sugar Refining company
is meeting with good success in securing
its acreage for 1903 and chiefly within
wagon-haul of the factory. Agricultural
Superintendent Trowbridge makes a few
statements regarding the crop that are
applicable in any locality and we here
with present them:
l. That sugar-beets can be grown
with more profit than any other farm
crop has been too fully demonstrated in
other localities during previous years to
need discussion here.
2. In a fair season and with good
land the Ecrop should yield at least
twelve tons per acre. Many have OBJ
tanned results as high as 20 to % tons
per acre. The cost of growing and de-
livering II tons per acr acre of sugar
beets will not exceed $40 per acre, allow
ing rental for land and compensation at
current wages for all time spent in
caring for the crop, leaving a margin of
net profits of $40 to S25 per acre.
3. The growing of sugar-beets iE-
creases the value of farm property hence
the farmer is able to get better results
from his land.
4. The growing of sugar-beets puts
the land in better shape for succeeding
crops, owing to the depth to which the
soil is worked in handling and harvest
ing the beets. Corn, oats or wheat fol-
lowing a crop of sugar-beets yield from
20 to 40 per cent more than would be
obtained under the same conditions
when following some other crop.
5. An acreage of sugar-beet properly
cared for leaves the land free from foul
weeds.
G.. The growing of sugar-beets fur
nishes employment to women and
children, who would not otherwise find
continuous remunerative employment
during the summer.
7. The growing of sugar beets brings
into the country greater numbers of
laborers, so that help is more available
for haying and harvesting season.
s. A crop of sugar-beets furnishes
employment for teams during the late
fall and early winter, delivering beets to
the factory, when otherwise the teams
would be earning nothing for much of
the time.
9. The presence of a successful sugar
factory in any community makes a
marked increase in the population of
that community, furnishing a greater
market for all farm produce, insuring
reader sales and better prices.-Bay
City, Mich Sugar Beet.

Want More Teams Urgently.

Culbertson seems to be the present
center of the sugar beet industry of the
Republican valley. With their 1,50C
acres being prepared and planted to beets
the scene presented is n of intense &C
tivity. Teams are being pushed to their
utmost, earning 81 to 50 per day, and
many more teams are wanted. 1t is
feared that some of their best beet land
will be idle this year for want of teams
to do the work.
