Washington, Feb. THE president
Tuesday made public a letter urging
upon congress a modification of the
law against hazlng at the naval acal-
envy. Unless congress shall promptly
amend the existing laws against haz-
ing, which makes mandatory the dis
missal of any midshipman found
guilty of any form of hazing, the sec
rotary of the navy may be forced to
dismiss thirty-three midshipmen from
the naval academy within the next
month, in addition to the eight who
have already suffered this penalty, and
the three whose cases are awaiting
the action of the department.
Secretary Bonaparte, after urging
upon individual members of congress
the necessity for immediate legisla-
ton, finally laid the whole matter be-
fore the president.
1t is admitted at the navy depart
ment that if the present law is al
lowed to stand, the service will suffer
severely. The investigating board Of
officers appointed by the superinteni-
ent of the naval academy, TO obtain
evidence against all midshipmen
guilty of any form of hazing, has al
ready brought to light evidence result
ing in the trial OF fourteen midship-
men, of whom two have been acquit-
ted, eight dismissed one pardonei
while under sentence of dismissal,
and another, Midshipman Minor Mer-
riwether Jr., whose case is row await
ing action by the department, has
been found guilty and recommended
for pardon. The papers in the cas- Of
Midshipman Jules James, of Virginia,
and w. T. Boyd, Jr., Illinois, are be-
fore the department for execution of
sentence of dismissal.
The investigating board has left
with the superintendent of the acad-
envy, evidence against SO other mid
shipmen. who will probably be order
ed for court martial. The law will
necessitate the dismissal OF each mid
shipman found guilty. Included in the
list are midshipmen whose records are
otherwise above reproach, among
them, members of the first class, who
will graduate next week, and a mum.
Der related TO prominent members of
congress.
The case of Midshipman Merriw tn
er, now before the secretary, will prob
ably come TO the president for con-
sideration.

attendant on the possession of great
wealth. But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gcstiOn are rampant among these people
aud they suffer far worse fortunes than
the millionaire unless they avail them

STARTLES ATTORNEYS.
Acknowledgement Doubts Authenticity
of Portion Of Copy Of Letter
Written BY President.

Chicago, Feb. limited States At
torney-General Moody took an active
part Tuesday in the trial OF the pack
ers' case. In the opening OF the
court he was called upon by Attorney
John S. Miller, who represents Armour
& Co., TO produce the original copy of
a letter written to him by President
Roosevelt, or to admit the authent city
of a copy which Mr.. Miller produced
in court
The encouragement admitted the
accuracy of the document as a copy,
but declared that the clause in the
latter, which the attorneys of the
packers construed as meaning that
the department Of justice and the d.
partment of commerce and labor were
working in unison, was not correct.
His assertion caused much excitement
among the attorneys for the pack RS,
and they objected to the statement Of
the encouragement as being fmprop-
er before the jury. The letter was
not offered in evidence, but was mark
ed for Identification.
But three witnesses were on the
stand during the day and their evil
dence was not Of general interest.

BEET GROWERS, ATTENTION!

We wish TO close our contracting up
right away and not have the business
dragging until so late in the spring
when it is time to get our seed out.
This holding back i'll contracting may
seem trivial TO you, but it means much
to us. If contracted early, it gives us
plenty of time to get your name on our
books in a systematic way which makes
it easier for us to give you the best pos
sible service and information about
growing and handling your beets.
You ought to raise a few acres of
beets anyway in order to show your
appreciation of an industry which di-
rectly appeals to the farmers of this
vicinity for its support. If you are not
beet raiser now you certainly will be
in the near future, for no farmer of
Gratiot or Isabella counties who lives
within ten miles of a sugar factory or
six or seven miles from a shipping sta
tion can afford to not raise some beets,
and the sooner you begin to learn to
raise beets by actual practice, the better
off you will be.
Farmers who have raised beets for
five years or more all say that it is the
very best money-making crop we have
today, and actual experience is worth
just as much in beet raising as anywhere
else.
Now when one of our agents calls
upon you, let him write your contract
Immediately and do not keep him wait
ing bothering you and wasting his own
time, or if an agent does not call for
your contract soon, write us stating the
number of acres you want, the township
you live i'll, the section you live upon,
the point where you will deliver your
beets, your post-office address and rural
number; then upon receipt of this in
formation we will fill out contracts in
duplicate and mail them to you for your
signature. You can sign them and re-
turn one to us. We will then place
your name upon our books as one of our
regular patrons.
During this freezing weather it is a
good time to rub and break down the
corn stubbles where you are intending
to SOW beets the coming spring In fact,
it is very good policy to break down
these corn stubbles now while you
have plenty of time, whether you intend
putting the corn ground to beets or not.
If the stubble is rubbed, crushed and
broken down, the land plows better and
stubble turns under deeper which makes
the ground easier to fit and the stubble
is not liable to come to the top while
doing the same We think a plank
float weighted down some is about as
good as anything to crush aud break
corn stubble down, unless you are lucky
enough to have bar of iron either
railroad or a pillar for building sup
port that has square, sharp edges which
will cut the stubbles off better while the
ground is frozen than plank float.
We shall be pleased to receive sugges-
tions from our farmers along this liz g.
How do you handle your corn stubble
for sugar beets or other farm crops:
