VOICE OF HIS CHILDHOOD.
Why Mr.. Brown Quit Complaining
About the Baby

About the Baby.
1t is good story. and Mrs. Brown
had to tell it-confident!ally. Then it
leaked. until Mr.. Brown himself heard
Of its true inwardness. and si,ce then
he has found no fault with his crying
baby.
Charlie Chats Mr.. Brown was
awfully annoyed by the crying OF our
dear little Tommy" said Mrs. Brown.
land the fact Is that his complaining
was harder to endure than the baby's
bowls. Finally had an inspiration.
'Ore morning. at the pgonizing hour
Of four O'Clock, Charlie was awakened
by most unearthly baby yelling and
screaming. and sat up In bed with a
start.
Cant you stop that baby!' he de
manded. Did you ever in your life
before hear such a racket from a pair
OF lungs? don't think that there

He made no audible reply. but he
did apparently mutter something un-
der his breath. and then turned over
and went to sleep. He hasn't conf

1t has occurred to him that there was
no such thing as a phoncgraph until
long after he was a baby"

MORE SUGAR FACTORIES
FOR ARKANSAS VALLEY
Manager Winterhaltero of Rocky Ford
Plant States That Beet Crop Is
Fifty Per Cent more than
Last Year.

From The Colorado Chisftain.
w. T. Winterhaltsr, manager OF
the Rocky Ford beet sugar facto-
ry who is in the city today, gave
voice to the first authoritative
statement of this years beet sugar
conditions i'll the Arkansas valley
and the state generally.
Mr.. Winterhalter expresses him
self as moro than pleased at the
outlook. He states that the beet
sugar industry in Colorado is in
its infancy. The factories in the
Arkansas valley have paid better
than any in the United States.
The beets are richer in saccharine
matter, he says. than those from
any other region, and the cultiva-
ton. therefore, is more profitable
to the farmer.
"The present factories" says
Mr.. Winterhalter, "are only the
forerunners Of more to come, and
those NOT IN THE DISTANT
FUTURE.
In regard to the present season
in the state generally, he says that
the area of beets under cultivation
is greater by 25 per cent than for
any preceding year. The product
promises to be far better than last
season. Owing to shortage of wa
ter in 1902 the beets were small
and the average production per
acre comparatively light. There
was plenty of water this summer,
and. as consequence, the beets
have reached great size. a con-
servstive estimate on the increase
The Holly chieftain., 1903-09-11

above that Of last year would place
it at SO rer cent. As the beet
grown during the dryer year is
somewhat richer in the quality of
sugar, the increase in the amount
Of sugar that will be turned out
is estimated It 40 per cont.
Farmers along the valley are
said to be more than satisfied with
the revenue derived from the SUI
gar beet. The cantaloupe is high
ly profitable, but many have found
that the beet brings even more
money and are planting their fields
with the latter. The area tributa-
ry to the Rocky Ford factory has
been largely increased. The San
ia Fe railroad is now building two
spurs at points between Pueblo
and Rocky Eord, in order to facil-
itate the shipment of beets to the
factory. y

In growing cabbage, farmer
John Freisner has had novel ex-

as he told it. Last fall. in gather

in the ground, after cutting off the
heads for use, leaving only one

This year he has crop of one
hundred or moro heads Of cabbage
grown from the old stocks. This
is new idea, aud gives the farm

FORREST CITY AGAIN NICTO.
RIOUS.
Second Game Easily Captured by
the Locals.

The final game of the series with
Lonoke proved another easy victory for
the locals. As on the previous day, the
visitors We're clearly outclassed and
were never dangerous at any stage of
the game. Lorraine and Sutton were in
the points for the visitors, but even
this failed to help them, aud they
played in the same loose manner that
characterized their work on Thursday.
Their team is lamentably weak in hit
ting, and but for a base on balls, hit
Eastman and an error, they would have
suffered another shut-out.
Ashford, who pitched Cor the locals,
was in good form. and the visitors fail
ed to score anything that looked like a
hit.
The locals hit Sutton hard, and their
hits came when hits meant runs. The
locals played with the snap and vim
which has characterized their work for
the past two years, aud succeeded in
keeping interesting what would other
wise have been long, tiresome contest.
The scoring began in the first. After
Lonoke had been retired, q 'Bryen drew
base on balls, went to third on outs
by Ashford and Simmons. and scored
on Sanders hit to right field Sanders
scored few moments later on a pass
ball OF Loraine's. Four runs were aG-
ded by the locals in the third innings
on hits by O'Bryen, Simmons, Ashford
and Hayes.
Below is the score by innings:

Next week the locals will probably
line up against Cotton Plant, and this
series OF games should be very inter-
estlng, as both teams play good, fast,
snappy ball.
The management has also received
letters from Wynne and Helena, also
Christian Bros. team. of Memphis, and
the next match should be full OF good
ball fast enough for even the most fas-
tldious far. In their next game the
locals will more than likely appear in
their new uniforms, which will be blu e
and gray.
