4 New Beet Digger.

one OF the objections TO the culture
OF sugar beets Is that it requires so
much hand work to care for and har-
vest them. Thus far but little ma
chnery has been produced that will
40 the work. A Denver man claims
that he has produced a machine for
digging and topping bects which,
when perfected, will greatly simplify
the work of harvesting beets. His
machine plOws them out in the usual
manner and then elevates them to IA
point where there are two rotary
knives, where man so places them
that the tops are properly cut off and
then the beets are elevated into a
wagon or to platform, where they
are dropped into piles. The machine
is at present in crude form but he
claims that he harvested two acres
successfully with it, and that when
better built it will do the work OF har-
vesting beets as easily as selfbinder
harvests grain. If some one will now
invent a machine to thin the beets the
crop will be no more difficult to tend
than potatoes or any grain.-Greeley

A Good Plan.

Most Of the Phillips county farmers
who are putting in fall grain are drill
ing it in corn ground. They propose
TO catch and hold the snow. This is
certainly wise move. not only on ac-
count of the benefit to be derived from
the snow but because the corn ground
retains the moisture better during the
fall and winter than ground that has
been in small grain.-HolyOke Her

She was the best-dressed woman in the
room, and, although her clothes were
the last cry of fashion-for the mo-
ment-they were simplicity itself, but il
was the simplicity of perfect art She
was a woman of rank, and an acknowl-
edged leader of fashion, but she was also
a Bohemian ingram, and, at the same
time, strange as it may appear, per-
sistently conventional, and stern
stickler for etiquette and the proprie-
ties, when the occasion demanded both.
Her bridge parties were the talk Of
the town, for she was able, actually, to
insist that, if her guests played for
money, their winnings should go to the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
i
her house, the game was played almost
invariably for love. "You can't get peo-
pie to gamble for good purpose" she
was wont to say, with twinkle in her
dark eyes.
The set that she leads is brilliant,
but not very intellectual section Of
society. Il am not one of the brainy
ones" she would say. 'but I know how
to enjoy myself, and how to make people
happy. We all know what muddle too
many cooks make, and too much brains
spoil society,"
She adored young people, and had a
crowd of young men about her always.
"They are not in mischief when they are
with me-" she would explain, and have
been told that many young fellow
owed his social salvation to her good
offices.
Later she pointed out, with incisive
comments, some of the club celebrities.

me that it is possible for member Of

and rubs shoulders with all sorts and

500 delegates, and report was made that

support of 913 Zionist organizations, that
there were at least a quarter Of mil

ed that the bolero was thing of the past,
and in support of their conclusions, they
point to the increasing vogue of the
close-fitting half-length coat, the short
coat with basques, the revived REFER,

most chic among the new models shows
boleros, and one is forced to conclude
that the end is not yet, although the
bolero is never so much worn in autumn
as in spring and summer.
Waistcoats are, by the way, effective

What strong influence, then, brings

Various philanthropical colonization

the last quarter of century labored at

to find homes in the Holy Land; but

of the organization, regards the matter
from a political point of view, and is
willing that the dreamed-of Jewish
state" should exist either in South Amer
lea or Syria. Dr. Herzl first laid his
plan for the great state before the peo-
pie at the first international Jewish con-
gress of 1897, at which congress, as we
before suggested, he was able to appeal
to Jews from the four quarters of the
globe. The people whom he addressed
showed much sentiment for return to
the Holy Land. and unanimously de-
clared for return to Palestine.
Palestine was ill-governed, tenure Of
land and taxation were uncertain, but
Palestine seemed the only land that
would appeal to the widely-scattered
race, and so Palestine was finally chosen
as the place of refuge. The Basic con-
gress declared that nothing of hostile
character to the established government
was intended, and scheme was evolved
for the obtaining of national fund
whereby necessary concession could be
secured from the porte by purchase.
Though many rabbis disapproved of the
non-religious nature of DR.. HerZl's plan,
the mass of the people began to accept
it with enthusiasm. In all the countries
of the dispersion, hundreds of societies
were formed and careful watch was kept
in perfecting the organization in gen.

held in London, one in New York. one in
