BAZAAR OPENED TUESDAY
Catholic Ladies' BAZAAR Opened with
II Supper at City Hall on
Tuesday Afternoon.

The Catholic ladies opened their
bazaar season Tuesday afternoon
with a supper, which was served in
the fire department rooms at the
city hall, and their patronage was
very large. They will serve supper
each evening until and including Fri
day night, when the bazaar closes,
A great amount of work has been
expended in identifying the audito-
rum of the hall, where the bazaar
proper is being held, Six handsome
booths were erected, two each on the
north and south sides of the rooms,
with a very large one in the center
and the sixth to the south of that in
the form of a diamond. The booths
are all decorated very prettily with
tissue paper and the scene presents
something attractive to the eye.
Many articles are for sale in the
booths-articles that have been do
mated by the business firms of the
city and from outside of town also.
Fancy work of the most beautiful de-
sign and complication of work, and
this covers a wide range of exhibit,
is displayed in two booths, while in
the others the articles are varied
in their nature. One booth is made
up of miscellaneous articles and the
range of some is great, from a pair Of
shoes to two sets of handsome can
delabra, but they are all for sale and
the ladies in charge are not losing
any time and making all possible Of
fort to dispose of their wares. When
they find that the goods are not SELL
ing fast enough, they have an auc-
ton of some of the goods and get rid
of them in this way-oftimes at sac
rifce price and others at a larger
margin than the goods naturally sell
for.
Aside from the bazaar features
Tuesday evening, a splendid musical
program was rendered, and this has
also been provided for each evening
Miss Lee opened the program with
a vocal solo, and her voice never
sounded any sweeter to the audience
than on this occasion. Miss Bessie
Mcguire recited an excellent number
in "Home, Sweet Home" and gave it
a splendid presentation. Her work
in the line of elocution is always good
and she did exceedingly we'll on this
occasion. Miss Gutenberg sang with
splendid effect "Tonight," by Zardo,
and she was applauded vigorously by
the audience. Miss Gutenberg has
a sweet soprano voice and she made a
splendid impression on this occasion.
One of the enjoyable numbers was
the violin trio by Geneyieve Branson,
Simon Dolph and Louis L%oevinper.
The three little people show quite a
proficiency on the instrument and
they played their number in a way to
bring forth a great amount of APP
plause. Mrs. James Lyons sang a
soprano solo, entitled 'The Old Coun-
try" by Pinsuti, the words of which
and the name Of Mrs. Lyons rem

Mr.. D. I. Luse,

Dear SIR
We have your..letter Of the 2lst
and in reply will state that il
takes about 20 pounds of beet
seed per acre, which we will be
glad to let you have at 10 cent,
per pound.
This Company has been using
Jno. Deere beet seeders in the
seeding of the crop. These YOU
eau buy from q manufacturer OF
any dealer for about $33. W.
would be unable to rent you one
OF our own seeders for the reason
that We will have them all in &C.
tive service.
The seeding can be done :. ANY
time after April lst preferably
about the 18th.
The average sugar test OF the
beets raised should be ..about Is
Der. cent which is sbout.:the sugar
contents for the beets raised in
this section.
The best results can be obtained
from soil not too low. which con.
tains heavy black loan. The re-.
suits obtained from sod land after
the first breaking even il the sod
was well pulverized would be on.
ly fair; the second year the IRE.
suits should be of the best; 1.-The
third year the land should be al.
ternated to alfalfa for one season.
If we can be of any further ser.
vice to you we will be glad. to
have you let US know.
Yours very truly.
