The sugar beet crop for this year
promises to be an excellent one bar
ring unusual weather during August
and September. The beets, though
in many cases planted quite late
owing to the backwardness of the
season, are looking unusually we'll.
The farmer is realizing more fully
every year that this is one of the few
uniformly dependable crops, and with
the labor problem practically solved,
beet raising has lost much of its irk-
someness and causes the grower no
more worry than other crOps.-Chip-

MAPS HELP A MAN SLEEP.
Mental Geography the Best Soporifc,
According to a Drug Clerk.


A haggard-looking man strolled into
downtown drug store the other day,
says the Philadelphia Record, and
asked the druggist for help. He SAID
he had trouble in getting to sleep
when he retired. No matter how
sleepy he might be during the day or
how much sleep he might have lost,
the moment his head touched the pill
low he was wide awake and lay taus
for several hours. Once asleep ne
was hard to waken, but he had to be
up at certain hour, and in conse-
quence of his peculiar affliction he was
losing more sleep than he could stand
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
ideally a few moments and then re-
piled: my dear man, you don't want
medicine. What you want is some
thing to change the trend of your
thoughts. Do as a friend of mine did.
He was troubled the same way ana
found that the old folks plan of mag
lining sheep passing barrier ana
counting them was out Of date. SO he
began trying to name all the states IN
the Union. He soon got them SO ne
could classify them alphabetically.
Then when they no longer interested
him he started on the counties OF this
state.
HE now has them at his tongues
end. classified up to the fourth letter.
Now he is starting on state capitals
ood @boir locations. then no will take
I'D county seats. A moments glance
at an atlas during the day shows him
when he is wrong, and the beauty OF
the plan is that he rarely has to think
along these lines longer than ten min
utes before he is sound asleep. TO
make it short the study OF geography
is a good narcotic

"a Sunday lid is on here, so far as

Mrs. George Cunningham returned
from New Castle, Pa. yesterday after
spending some time there with her
husband who is a member of the New
Castle polo team in the Interstate
league Mrs. Cunningham says that
this team has been playing in hard
luck this season. First her husband
was compelled to be out of several
games on account of illness and he
was followed by nearly every mar on
the team. This gave the team such
set back that it lost all chance of
winning first place but from now on
to the end of the season with all mem
bers in good shape will put up
good game and try and retain the POI
sition they now hold, third place with
percentage in the 500's. There are
about six weeks more of the season
and Canton, o., has such lead that
it will be impossible for .nr other
team to land first place.
