Wouldn't interrupt the Argument

Down in Cochran, Ga. the affairs of
civil justice are administered by Judge
Edwards, who is also an enthusiastic
farmer. One cloudy spring afternoon
court was convened to try a peculiarly
tortuous and perplexing case Judge
Edwards listened with growing unrest.
He was observed at last to seize slip
OF paper, scribble a few words, place
the document beneath heavy paper
weight and reach for his hat, says the
Nashville Banner.

If the Tree Could Speak.

Bishop Seymour was very fond of
trees, and one day while walking with
a young woman he pointed out to her
some of the fine trees of the neighbor-
hood. She professed great interest and
delight She cried:
How the noble aspects of beautiful
trees stir up the keenest emotions of
the SOUL Then, patting a great, rough
trunk, she went on: You superb oak.

A Reporter,s Error


The daily paper is very often uncon-
stiously funny when it gets to report
ing anything connected with the

enterprising sheets had the following:

ION n )" averted panic by throw
ing a blazing sacristy. set fire bv

flames spread.
Now, sacristy, according TO the
Standard Dictionary, is "a room at
1ached to church or religious house
an which the sacred vessels and vest
ments are kept and in which the
clergy robe" Hence it viii be seen
that the reporter who saw the priest

church must have been seeing things

BEET HARVESTERS.
Lifting the Beets by Means of a Plo"
or Fuller.

To harvest sugar beets costs from So
to $40 an acre, depending upon the
condition of the soil. Most of this
work is now accomplished by sys-
tenn borrowed from Europe. This con
sists in extracting the beets from the
soil with an implement drawn by two
to four horses 1t is in the nature of a
pillow. There are several forms, one of
which is called ''puller." This has
two fingerlike tapering prongs, which
run through the ground parallel with
the surface, but about ten inches be-
low. The space between these prongs
is wider at the points, gradually less
ening to their back ends. These prOngs
are supported by two upright pieces
attached to the beam. When pulled
through the soil the points are carried
on either side of the beet, compelling
it to pass through this diminishing
space. Directly the prongs tighten
against the beet as it is being forced
through the space, breaking off the tap
root and forcing it up. The beet is ele-
waited two or three inches and left in
the loose dirt
