Must Wake Up.
Importa It That Farmers Should
Come to tho Front on Beet
Contracts.

While the feeling among the farm
ers OF northern Michigan toward the
sugar factory seems TO be all that
could be desired, too many contracts
are for small acreage. and some active
work must be done to reach the de-
sired 1000 acre mark.
Farmers should realize that the
sugar beet proposition is not jug
handle" proposition-all on one side.
1t is proposition that will revolu-
tionize agricultural interests and
enhance the value Of every acre Of
farming land that lies within the
shipping rad ius OF the factory.
This statement is not speculative.
It's truth has been proven in eli her
sections Of Michigan where conditions
are far less favorable than here. One
of our leading and most reliable farm.
ers mas personally investigated and
reported. 1t is a great opportunity
for our farmers, and this first year of
the new factory administration is
crisis. Tho future OF the enterprise
rests with the farmers, and they can
make no mistake in coming TO the
front with good acreage OF beets to
start the wheels.
No farmer should contract for less
than five acres, and ten Is better. The
" est Michigan Sugar Company's fac
tory Is firmly established financially,
and is an Institution that belongs to
the farmers In larger sense than to
any enc else. 1t is farmers industry
and 1t means prosperity for them.
But they mast take hold OF the
matter and push it-now!

The condition Of the patient remains I'M

have not been stimulated and in a few
days stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results in an unnat-

RENT PAYS FOR LAND.
Fertile Sections OF the Southwest,
Where Land Sells for SIS and
Rents for SIS Per Acre,

One of the remarkable things about
eastern Arkansas and northern Louis.
lana is the fact that cleared land rents
for IS per acre cash, and can be bought
for $3.50 to $15 per acre. 1t costs
from Sc to $40 an acre to clear It,
Other improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made. It
produces a bale of cotton per acre,
worth $45 to $50. This accounts for
its high rental value. Other crops,
such as corn, small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields to cuttings, ton
to a cutting. and brings $40 to SIG per
ton.
In other sections of these states,
and in Texas as we'll the rolling or
hill-land is especially adapted to stock
raising and fruit farming Land is
very cheap, S. to $40 per acre; i'm.

DR.. LONG IS PRESIDENT
POPULAR MADISON DOCTOR AT
HEAD OF STATE ASSOCIATION.
MADISON COUNTY is HoNoRED

DR.. Long Has Been a Practitioner in
This County for Nearly Quarter
of Century and Stands High in His
Profession.
The board of councillors of the Ne
braska State Medical association held
a special meeting in Lincoln Tuesday
afternoon at the Office of the secretary
DR.. A. ID. Wilkinson. The principal
business for which the meeting was
called was that of determining upon
successor to President DR.. j. L..

Lord of Omaha, Dr. A. b. Anderson of
Pawnee, DR.. l.. W. Shaw of Osceola,
DR.. w. r. Young of Ansley, DR.. P. H.
Salter of Norfolk.
This is the first time in the history
of the state medical organization that
the presidency has been held in this
part of the state. In fact only three
or four physicians in the north Platte
country and outside of Omaha have
had the honor of presiding over the
state medical association.

Dr. Long is essentially a self made
man, having worked his way through
college, and struggled through man,
hardships as a young physician, in hi
efforts to gain a foothold, twenty ant

LAST DAY 70 BEGIN SEWER
BUT THE CONTRACTOR HAS NOT
PUT IN AN APPEARANCE.
BONDS WE'RE NOT PURCHASED
The Contract With o. p. Herrick spe-
officially States That the Work Shall
Not Begin Later Than Today-What
viii be Done With the Bonds2
fFrom Fridays Daily.l

Today is the last day allowed by
the contract with o. p Herrick of
Des Moines, sewer builder, for the be-
ginning of work on the construction
of Norfok's new sewer but Mr. Her.
rick has not yet put in an appearance
to begin work. Labor difficulties and a
scarcity Of men Is assigned by some
of the city officials here as the prob
able cause, though not word has
been heard from Mr.. Herrick. The
contract specifically provides that
work shall begin not later than the
first day of September and that the
sewer shall be finished not later than
the fifteenth of December
1t is said that men are scarce ar
ticle all over the country, and that
this is the probable cause for the de-
lay.
The contract provides that, in case
provisions are not carried out, the
contract may be re.let by the city
council, but it is not considered prob
able that this action will result.
Bonds Were Not Bought.
Yesterday was the last day allowed
for bids on the 100000 sewer bonds
but nobody wanted to take them at
four percent interest, and a puzzle has
resulted. Mr.. Herrick, the contractor
has agreed to take the bonds up to
the amount of his contract, which will
be somewhere in the neighborhood of
$35, 000-though 1t depends upon the
nature of things after the work is en-
tered into-but just what to do with
the rest of the bonds is the problem
that is now perpleXing the city author
tiles. The flooding of the country with
bonds because of San Franciscos dis
aster is held responsible for the lack
of a bid. 1t is contrary to law to of
fer them at a premium, so that no one
seems to offer a solution out of the
quandery.
