SOON TO APPEAR,
Ceoroe Gilbert Bancroft.

The Famous Educator and Lecturer,
needs NO formal Introduction to the
American public. Hailing from the
city by the Golden Gate, for fifteen
consecutive seasons he has appeared
upon the platform in all of the prin-
cipal cities on the continent. By edu-
cation both a lawyer and physician;
by natural adaptation and preference
an educator, lecturer and entertainer,
DR.. Bancroft brings to the platform a
wealth of practical and technical
knowledge and experience such as few
of his chosen profession possess. Stu
diously inclined from his youth, natur-
ally of an investigative tendency along
original lines, his mind at an early
age became centered in the fascinating
study of Human Nature. To hold the
key to mans mind became his dream;
"To know thyself' became his motto.
Having made a special study for
years Of insanity, criminology, soci-
ology and original psychological re.
search, he stands today one OF Amer
ica's greatest authorities in the study
Of insanity. normal and abnormal men,
tality, crimino!ogy, etc, his ability to
see in mans face, form and actions
reflection Of the mentality and predis-
position within is not speculative
philosophy, but an exact and mathe-
matical science.
Privileged by profession to travel
extensively both at home and abroad,
and being constantly alert for new
material, he has accumulated an ex-
haustive array of valuable scientific
facts, which he presents SO pleasingly
and startlingly from the public plat
form that to hear him once only in
sures that you will make strenuous
efforts to hear him again. Not only
has he acquired fame as versatile
and logical platform reasoner and in
structor, but he brings to his aid a
spontaneous, blunt, eccentric humor
that is we'll nigh irresistible From
hilarious laughter to sympathetic
tears has become his consummate art
DR.. Bancroft is an inspiratiOnal
speaker, steering clear of the set and
oily platitudes of the average plat
form orator he thus avoids firing his
hearers. His reasoning is exact and
profound, his logic perfect, his Ian
guage is terse and blunt, yet fluent
startling, original and laugh-produc
ing; his limitations eccentric and true
to life, and his instruction is priceless;
he leaves you with a practical and |
new jewel that you may treasure for |
all time in your eternal storehouse of |
memory, not made by hands-the hui
man mind
DR.. Bancroft is ably assisted each |!
evening by the charming Vocalist and |
Impersonator, ID. Lillian Lewis. in a |
brilliant and versatile repertoire of |
vocal and literary gems. Miss Lewis
is no novice in the art of platform en-
tertainment. Endowed by nature with
an artistic temperament, a sweet voice
and pleasing personality. she has
under the constant guidance and sug.
gestion OF some OF the best artists
gradually advanced to the enviable DO
sition which she holds today-The
peer Of the best.

SUGAR BEET PRODUCTION.

Bring yourself to comprehend
by comparison, the magnitude of F
single industry that promises t.
stow away into Uncle Sam's
pockets s150,000,000 year more
than is now swelling them almost
to burstlng-and this huge sum,
too, going principally into the
hands of farmers and farr,
laborers.
Tcis amount would be more
than enough to pay the nations
pension rolls and would nearly
maintain the army and navy. At
the average annual expenditure
estimated by Josiah Strong in the
North Atlantic States, it would
support 2l3,O6S families, of 1922
1875 persons-about Interpolation
of Boston and Baltimore.
What is this wonderful thing
that promises so much? Sug, r
beet culture and the manufacture
Of the beet into the product that is
demanded in every household.
Last year the United States i'm
ported l,s4O,466 tons of sugar,
valued at s97,645,449. Upon this
was paid a duty of S51, l7l.2S3.1s.
At the present rate of growth of
the beet sugar industry in this
country, it will be possible to pro-
vide, soon not only all the sugar
needed in America -2,632, PIG tons
were consumed last yesr-but
probably to provide also surplus
for export.
The industry is advancing by
leaps and bounds. Five years ago
American beet sugar amounted to
9 per cent of the imports; this year
it is expected to reach % per cent.
OF the imports. To the farmers
alone this seasons crop of sugar
beets is expected to bring s26,3OO,-
900; FIVE years ago they received
about ss,5OO,0OO.
It is an industry that brings
multiplied blessings in its train.
Deserts are made to bloom as rose
gardens and prospesous communi-
ties spring up like magic in beet
growing sections. Land values
increase and enterprises flourish.
A veritable magician of prosperity
is this heretofore neglected pro-
duct Of the soiI.-Jourral.

to the limit of his endurance, ana then
came relief in the shape of a letter
from the city. 1t read:
Dear husband:-
We've been having a pretty good
time, but things here do cost awful
l wanted to buy some things for Mary
but can't, for we'll have only just
enough to pay our fare home after
staying another week."
Another week." groaned Johnson.
How'll we ever get through it?"
Then he continued:
I'VE went to that machine place
number and found twas fraud, just
like warned you. The laws shut it
up, and there's a lot of letters held
for their owners. I hired a lawyer
and he found. it out, and he said one
letter was yours and would be sent
back 1 suppose it's the one with the
fifteen hundred dollars you sent"
John drew a quick, hard breath, and
then read the postscript.
81 suppose it's pleasanter there
without us, and you're living cheaper
and better, like you've always said;
but it's lonesome here in the big city,
and Mary and l will be both glad to
get back. Well come a week from
Saturday"
Johnson dropped the letter and
leaned his head upon his hands.
Thinking was something unusual to
him, but this time it was to good pur-
pose, for it ended in his writing in
cramped, laborious hand.
Dear wife:
81 take my pen in hand to answer
your welcome letter. We've been
having an awful time and want you to
come back just as soon as you can.
All the men will be glad to taste of
your cooking again, and I won't ever
say any more about it's being easy.
I'm sending a hundred dollars with
this to buy some things for Mary, and
I'm free to say think it's a good idea
to have a hired girl. We're well off
now and can afford it, and I'm sorry
I didn't see the need Of things in the
house like have them outside before
this. l won't have anything more to
say about the kitchen. nOnly please
come home soon"

five hired men, numbered wonderingly

stove? Where's all the women folks?
What's up?"
Johnson started, then drew himself
together hurriedly.

run up to Mary Browns for day or
two" he answered gruffly. THE visit
was-er-pretty sudden, and they had
no time to send me word, nor to get
dinner. But l guess we can patch up
one between us, Ell, Jake" trying to
pass it off lightly. Get just as good
dinner as the women folks, and
mighty sight quicker"
Course we cam cried Jake, with
alacrity, and pleased at the thought of
so novel task, "and one We'll like
better, too. Men folks know just what
men folks want. Well have injuns
and taters, and coffee that's strong

of favorite dishes.
Come, come! We can't have every
thing at once" expostulated Johnson,
impatiently. Here, pitch in, all of

But in spite of the superabundance
of assistance the dinner progressed
slowly, and it was o'clock before the
men drew their chairs to the table,
red-faced and Tuning at the stupidity
of each other. And in spite of the
fact that 1t was of their own cooking,
the dinner did not seem to please
them. They tasted suspiciously of
one dish and another, and pushed
their plates back, and then tried again,
grimacing and scowling and at last
rose sullenly and left the room.
Johnson glanced at his watch as the
last one disappeared. He had work
of importance to look after, so the

But long before that the sun had
fallen behind the apple orchard, and
the kitchen was so full of shadows
as to call for artificial light. He
was tired and cross, and this did not
facilitate dish-washing and supper

their late chores he was bristling with
angry Impotence, and his face and
clothing were spotted with grease and

water and cooking utensils. Again they
were called upon for assistan &c. and

the dishes and food were left on the

be necessary to remove them.

cooking was persisted in, but by that
time the pleasant kitchen had been
transformed from place of orderli-
ness to den of chaotic neglect. Then
Jake declared that all the flies of the
whole neighborhood had come to feast
with them, and that il no change was
made, he, for one, was going to take
his meals henceforth over to Neigh
Dor Gould's; and that the other hired

So the next morning JAKE was sent
unceremoniously to Mary Browns

In the end he sent for one Of the
Gould girls to come and attend to the
house work, and after two days sent
her back and engaged one of the Cady
girls. But she was no better.
Then he tried it again himself, but
with even less satisfaction than be-
fore. He had not dreamed house
work was so endless and eXasperating,
and before the week was out was SO
far humbled as to acknowledge to
Jake in private that he would rather
hoe corn sixteen hours day than pre-
pare a single meal of victuals.
