is removed 1t remains fastened to the

is taken up by the two cens-shaped

The elimination Of Tho Parent.

the elimination OF the Parent.
In deciding to add q course in
manners, morals and patriotism"
to the curriculum of the public
schools, Philadelphis has taken an
other step toward the elimination of
the parent in training the child.
Every year sees the studies multi
ply, and the duties of the teachers
become more onsrous in American
public schools. Occasionally We hear
pleas for the simple life in the Amer
loan home, but people seem to give
the simple life no thought when 1t
Is spilled to the public schools.
Hitherto manners morals and patriot.
ism have been left to the parents,
but apparently even these privileges
are to be taken away from the father
and mother, and Johnny and Susie
must come home with text book ideas
regarding all three virtues.
Apparently there is going to be
precious little forthe American parent
to do, in the future, besides getting
the children to school on time-and
maybe special course in promPtness
will be provided before long. With
school set of manners, morals and
patriotism provided for his child, no
doubt father aud mother can get Sec
ond hand instruction in these virtues,
from the lips of Johnny or Susie.
II should be productive of great good
as the country cannot have an over
production Of such things. As to the
parent who objects because the three
Rs are neglected, owing to the crush
of modern fads, let him step aside
aud not stop the march toward the
production of the perfect Che-e- sild.

Killed by .tvain.

Last Saturday afternoon while
Alonso Skinner was attempting to
cross the Santa Fe Railroad tracks at
the Main Street crossing, he was
struck by the engine of Tram No. 4
and hurled considerable distance
receiving injuries from which he
died on Saturday night. The un-
fortunate victim never regsined con-
sciousness. Drs. Bartlett, Kellogg
and Packard were all called, but
nothing could be done to save him,
and he passed away about 2 O'Clock
on Sunday morning.
One of Skinners' companions just
cleared the track in time to save
himself and the other one seeing the
train in time stood back and gave
warning to the others but too late.
The first man across the track says
that he did not notice the train un-
till it was about six or eight feet from
him, and the Diseased must have
been likewise ignorant of its near
approach. It was very windy day
and the deceased was slightly deaf
and blind in one eye, and as the
train was approaching from the west
he might not have seen it at all.
On Monday q jury was summoned
by the county coroner, DR.. j. H.
Kellogg, and after an investigation
and hearing of the testimony of wit
nesses, rendered a verdict in accord
ance with the facts already given.
The jury did not attach any blame
to the trainmsn, but expressed their
opinion in the verdict that the Main
Street crossing in Lamar was one
which required q flag man stationed
there at all times, and that has long
been the opinion of nearly every one
who has observed the amount of
travel and traffic to be seen at all
times ON that part of Main Street.

Successful Beet Topper and PuiIer.
The chief trouble Of the beet

Just ss he wants it and when he
wants it, and of the quality he de-

come BY the invention Of the Amer
loan Beet Harvester Company,
which has been tried out here in
the fields Of the Amity Land COM
pany ON its beet ranch this week
and the work of this little machine
is so much ahead of the hand labor
Notwithstanding it's impsr fections,
thst We understand the Holly Su-
gar company has taken the matter
up with the inventors with the end
in view of securing . state right
for it's nse.
The work of plowing out the
beets requires four horse team and
digs foot or more into the ground
in order to losen the lower part Of
the bsets, then the topping has to be
done by hand and its more or less
unsatisfactory in itself because of the
carlessness of the hand labor. This
machine operates with one man and
IN most cases, with one extra heavy
team of horses, piling the beets in
windrows and the leaves Immediately
behind the beets, doing both the top
ping and plowing, only entering the
soil from 2 to 3 inches, at no more
expense than that of plowing them
out the old way figuring a saving
over hand labor in this section Of
about $3.50 per acre or more.
This Would mean an aggregate of
about $4OO, 900 for the Holly district.
The local experiments have been
under the supervision of B. W. Cub
till, one of the pstsntees, and j. W..
Etesnson. The machine in its
present form is quite crude, but after
this seasons experiment, which il
the seventh one for the patentees,
practically perfect one will evolve.
The machine is fully covered with
patents, one hundred and twenty
eight having been taken out on the
machine and its different parts. The
company is not manufacturing the
mschine itself but sells the right to
manufacture them in the various
Ibest sections.
The following is . description OF
its operations:
The 6rst operation Of the mashine
is the topping process which is done
by sharp horizontal blade, placed
near the front Of the machine and
just back of a large wheel which
governs the depth at which the knife
outs, and the amount of top taken of
may be regulated eight-inches by the
movement of q lever. Over the
wheel runs a chain belt to which are
attached a number Of short steel
teeth. The wheel runs over the beet
