Obituary.
ARCHIE MALTPRESS.

After an illness Of several years with
heart trouble, Archie Maltpress died at
the home of his parents east of town on
Monday morning, Feb'y 6, aged II years.
Archie B., the third child of J. T. and
Mary Maltpress was born Jan. 25, 1888,
in the town of Turtle, Rock county. But
since three years of age had resided with
his parents at the Maltpress homestead,
one and one-half miles east of Edgerton.
He. had never been rugged child and at
the age of seven it seemed for many
months that he could not live but rally
ing from that his parents hoped he
would outgrow the heart trouble which
from infancy had chung to him. But it
was not to be so and at the age of II was
compelled to relinquish his work in
school and leave unfinished life's task
which he had scarce begun. He is sur
vived by large number of relatives and
of the immediate family, the parents,
two brothers and four sisters.
Funeral services were held from the
home at 10 o'clock and from the M. E,
church at 2 o'clock on Wednesday, con-
Quoted by Rev. F. @. Richardson, and
we're very largely attended by friends
and classmates. Interment was made in
Fassett cemetery. The many handsome
floral offerings were fitting tributes as
the last token of esteem TO young life
ended. The thoughts suggested by the
death of this young man were, immor-
tality the only solution of life's unfinish-
ed tasks

Without doubt most of the readers oil

Beet Growers Meet Sugar Plant Owners
and Receive Cold Turn Down.

Beet Growers Meet Sugar Plant Owners
and Receive a Cold Turn Down.
The committee appointed by the Rock
County Beet Growers association met
the owners of the GAINESVILLE and Menom-
once sugar plants at GAINESVILLE on Mon
day. The committee presented amended
| contracts containing such provisions as
the following: That the buying price of
beets should be S4.75 ton: that beet
seed be furnished free by the factory;
that the beets be weighed and tared at
the station from which they are shipped;
that all the freight charges be paid by
the company. After \ free discussion of
| all the various pha SEES, of the questions
involved, the committee was informed
by the manufacturers that their requests
could not be granted. The GAINESVILLE
factory has already decided that it will
provide for weighing at stations where
2OO acres or more of the roots are raised
and feels that it can make no further
concessions. The possibility of competi-
ton with low priced Cuban sugar is
looked upon as constant menace by
the sugar men and they are not disposed
to stand for an increase in the cost of
raw material.
The committee was informed that the
action of the Rock county farmers in
forming this organization for the pur-
pose of compelling the factory to make
concessions has already worked consid-
cradle injury to the state by indefinitely
sidetracking all projects for new factor
les in Wisconsin. The proposed new
one at Madison had been abandoned for
this reason and no other
AS to the attitude of the growers as
ISOLATION towards the stand taken by the
company, President Burdick would
make no predictions A meeting of all
members has been called at the James
vile Y. M. G. A. building for Thursday
afternoon, Feb. 16, and at that time the
report of the committee will be heard.
The old growers generally say that
they cannot afford to raise beets under
the terms of the old contract which
gives them only $3.50 per ton, less 25c
ton freight, for Il per cent beets, and re-
quires that the beets be weighed by the
Western Railway Weighing association
and the tare taken at the factory. The
weighing is sometimes delayed for fort
night entailing great loss to the grower
in shrinkage and other shortages.
The intimation that the tobacco inter-
ests were responsible for the agitation
among the sugar beet growers ending in
an organization for mutual protection
will be Indignantly denied on the part of
the beet growers as we'll as the tobacco
men of the state. The sugar beet pro
moters have diligently declared through
the tobacco sections that beet growing
was the more profitable industry, and
now having failed to make good are cast
ing about to find somebody to charge the
trouble that has come to them from the
dissatisfied growers The truth is grad
ually coming to the surface and that is
just what The Reporter has been wish
ing for.

Prof. Jacks New Plan.

Prof. Frank M. Jack, principal of the
Sparta high school, and we'll known in
this locality, has evolved plan for Sc
curing efficient results in his work in
that city. In brief his plan is to render
individual help to such scholars as need
assistance. The individual help period "
CONES between $3.50 and 4:3O, after those
who have had their lessons during the
day have been permitted to leave. The
teacher will then devote as much time
as is necessary to help each student who
remains, individually, and assist them to
understand the point or points which
they did not thoroughly comprehend
during their class period.
There seems to be much of merit in the
proposed plan in that the early hour of
leaving school dependant upon good les
sons makes it an object for the students
to have their lessons and further the de-
voting of time by the teachers to the
students individually, as their require
ments demand and on the subject with
which the student seems to have troub
will it seems to us, tend to show each
scholar that an interest is taken in him
personally and that it is the wish of the
school board, principal and teachers
that they shall be thoroughly connersant
with each study. .@s
