Dinner Party

The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Fensler on Fourth street
was the scene of a very pleas
ant occasion yesterday, the af-
fair being a one o'clock dinner
given in commemoration of the
seventy-ninth birthday of Mr..
II. P. Lewis, father of Mrs.
Fensler. The family were all
seated at a long table, which
looked very attractive with
pink roses and a table mirror
as a center piece. A four
course dinner was served by
Mrs. Fensler. The afternoon
was most enjoyably spent in
visiting. The following mem

Kansas City. Its Suburbs and
Some Other THINGS

Friend Robert: | have not
forgotten the Times, but have
been too busy of late to write.
Our fine winter weather has
moderated; January 20, mer-
curry registered 70 above zero,
today it is ten above and snow
ing quite hard.
Kansas City is here yet and
will no doubt remain for some
time. Solomon said "there j.
nothing new under the SUM-"
This applies to the union depot.
The question of natural gas
has been the all absorbing
theme for some time, and
enough gas has been wasted to
light and heat the city for gen.
erations, providing it had been
of an Illuminating quality.
Kansas City has certainly
reached the pinnacle of fame,
it having been officially stated
that there are more murders
here than in any city of its size
i'll the United States. Other
crimes multiply and replenish
the stock of news items until
nothing short of a genuine
sensation creates more than a
ripple. Some time ago it was
charged that a negro guard at
the work house was in the habit
of whipping female prisoners
with a piece of garden hose
split into strips, and with SUBJ
jecting them to other forms Of
indignities, for the preparation
of which we have always been
taught to look only to semi
civilized countries. The ply

The meeting of the CONNER

The teachers of the high
school royalty entertained the
members of the senior class
last evening at the home of j.
G. Schulmeister at a valentine
party. The rooms were very
prettily decorated in number
less red and green hearts. Up
on their arrival each guest was
presented with a gilt bow and
arrow with the instructions to
shoot all the hearts possible
pinned around in the various
rooms. Fred Williams succeed
ed in being the best marksman
and received a picture of Cupid.
Progressive games were play
ed until a late hour. After
scores were counted Miss Edith
Mcclure was found to have
won the most games and she
received a prize. Partners for
supper were found by mating
dissected hearts. Dainty re-
freshments were served on
small tables by the hostesses.
After singing several songs the
merry company dispersed after
declaring this was indeed a
most successful valentine party.

make all the crossing at that

to investigate conditions at the
institution and some startling
evidence was submitted, but
although this was near three
months ago no report of the
investigation has yet been made
to the council, and in the mean
time the negro guard still beats
his prisoners, the negro doctor
still Examines" the white pris-
oners by force, and the "czar

puted rule over his subjects in

There is now only one "cable"
line of cars in the city. This
runs from the stock yards to
the car barns on Second street,
while electric cars are run over
this line from Washington to

operation in the city and GER
tainly it will be a relief when
the click, click of the cable in
the slot is no longer heard.
Among the suburbs of Kan
sas City is Independence, the
county seat of Jackson county,
and while it is a separate mu-
nicipality, yet it's nearness and
being connected by electric cars
makes it seem only a suburb of
the larger place. Another sub
urb, and now a part of the city
proper, is Sheffield, on the Blue
river. This is fast becoming a
manufacturing center, having
lately added a boiler factory, a
pump and windmill factory and
also an automobile factory.
They also have several fac
torres for making drunkards.
Leeds, a suburb to the south
east, is principally a residence
district, and the same may be
said Of Rosedale, to the south
west; both of them fine locations
for homes but ga long ways
from town." Kansas CITY,
Kan, across the Kaw, might
object to being called a suburb,
so we will call it the twin city,
and embracing as it does Ar
mourdale and Argentine Gin
fact it embraces almost every
undesirable thing) it constitutes
almost triplets. These two
last named suburbs are inhab-
lifted chiefly by the packing
houses and railroad yards. The
packing in. erests have contrib
Iuted perhaps more than any
other interest to the prosperity
| of the two cities.

Now and then a murder is COM

to seeing the victim shot or

joint and dragged into the

for violating the prohibition
law, not a man in the town
knows a thing about it; the
mayor, chief of police, police
Judge, and the entire "force"
are stepped in blissful ignor-
ance of any violations of law.

Michigan Man Falls a Victim of

OGDEN April THE planting of
s,yar beets has been greatly delayed
,h,s year because OF the heavy storms
which the state has experienced during
The past few weeks. The ground Is
"a wet that the planting Of the beet
seed is almost impossible in most To-
cations.
The Amalgamated Sugar company
last year began planting the beet seed
by the middle Of March. but this year
was unable to begin until this last
week. This delay OF over two weeks
will greatly delay the crop for harvest
ing but the company believes that the
beets will grow very rapidly as the
soil ia damp and In good condition for
the planting of the seed. The prospects
for this years harvest is very encour-
aging. tho shortage Of water expert
enced last year which caused great
loss TO the beet growers, will not be
felt this year RS there is apparently
nlenty OF snow In the mountains to
furnish quantities of water this year
for irrigation purposes.
The farmers have signed up con-

for the growing of the sugar beets,
and already over 5000 acres have been
contracted for, and many more 1t Is

SUGAR BEET GROWING
Wide Extension Of Production Irrigated Lands Predicted

The experience OF the last 20 years
has shown the probability Of very
wide extension OF the sugar beet In
dustry on irrigated lands. The de-
STABILITY OF such an extension rests
upon an economic basis. In the first
place, the control by irrigation of the
distribution OF water renders the pro-
duction of crop practically sure. The
other meteorological data are usually
Of such a constant nature as not to
endanger the production OF an average
crop The predomlnating factor,
therefore, in so far as yield Is con-
cerned is the distribution of the wa
ter. Thus 1t happens that the crop of
beets that will be harvested in the
arid regions may be confidently pre-
dicted within few tons. Such a pre-
diction renders all of the farm opera
tons connected with the production
OF the crop more certain and more
economical
In tho second place, It Is highly i'm
poi'tant to secure for irrigated areas a
crop which shall have a high money
value per acre with a reasonable mar
gin Of profit. The cost of bringing
lands under irrigation as rule Is con-
ssiderably greater than that Of prepar-
ing land In the non-irrigated region
for cultivation. The actual cost, there
fore. Of the land, other things being
equal. is greater In the irrigated than
IN the non-lrrigated areas. This high
err cost fastens upon the farmer n
fixed charge which must always be
provided for In the crop before a mar
gin of profit is possible. The ordinary
average crops do not always present
the most hopeful avenue OF securing
this increase Of profit, For instance,
the amount OF Indian corn or other
cereals or gross crops, with the posi-
BILE exception OF alfalfa, or other spe-
cles of clover, does not afford the op-
portunity OF certainly discharging the
obligation accruing from the interest
on the investment In land The sugar
beet however adds further induce
ments IN this direction because Of
the possible and even certain produce
ton OF an average crop OF not less
| than 10 tons per acre, having a
money value delivered at the factory
| of from $50 to SIS. These ideas are full
| ly borne out by the data from the
