THREE BENEFITS.

Perth Amboy is not slow in coming
to the front with liberal contributions
for the San Francisco relief fund.
This city is not rich and has few, if
any, really rich people. It is made up
of the class who earn every dollar
they get and it means something to
them when they give one away. True,
Perth Amboy has plants owned by
rich corporations, but they all give
through their main Offices in the cit
les. Take, for instance, the $50 900
contributed by NJ. Guggenheim's
Sons. Their smelter is, perhaps, the
richest concern in Perth Amboy, but
their contribution goes to swell New
York's fund.
Other means besides the mere CIV
ing of money has now been devised
in this city and two benefit perform
ances have been arranged whereby
people can spend an enjoyable eve
ming and, at the same time, contrib
ute to this most worthy cause. The
first of these benefits will be given
tonight when the high school seniors
will repeat the entertainment they
gave in the high school auditorium
Friday night. The program is an ex-
cellent one and was described at
length in the EVENING NEWS Sat
urday. The students did well and de-
served the high praise everyone who
was present bestowed upon them.
There is the musical comedy, THE
Old Songs" which is well worth the
price of admission in itself, and then
the play, "She Stoops to Conquer"
Everyone in the city is Interested in
the high school and its success and
to help the San Francisco relief fund.
Thursday night, the Elks display
their talent in a concert. The Elks'
reputation is well known and the
mere announcement should be sufi-
Client to draw a crowd.
The other benefit will be given Fri
day when Prof. S|teinhauser and Al
bert Bollschweiler will join forces,
the orchestra and brass band, in a
concert to be given in Washington
Hall. Music lovers will want to hear

A Biz Bunch of Sweetness.

The Cashton Record reports that dur
ing the middle of last week load of
sugar beets was unloaded near the rail-
road track in town, and by Saturday
night hundreds of loads we're piled there,
and at this writing farmers are still
dumping them. The pile is about 150
feet long, 40 feet wide and at least 7
feet high. 1t contains about 400 ton
and represents heap of money IL

opinion in regard TO the paying part Of
raising beets. Some farmers claim they
can make good money at 1t, while
others prefer raising grain or tobacco,
and therefore the acreage may be de-
