History of the Sugar Beet.

The merits of the sugar beet were
discovered gradually. For ages it
was used chiefly as cattle feed. Later
the leaves were used as vegetable,
and the roots were roasted as SUBJ
stitute for coffee. About the middle
OF the eighteenth century German
chemist named Marggraf found that
the roots contained a considerable
proportion of sugar, but it was not
till 1901 that the first beet sugar fac
tory was built, in Silesia, with the aid
of King Frederick William III.

Slept on the Track.

Grand Rapids, Mimi, July 3.-The
scattered remains of a man were
found along the track for nearly 20(
feet at the east end of town. From
clothing and other evidences found
on the body it was identified as that
of Carl Johnson, a laborer who had
been in town the night before. 1t Is
supposed he went to sleep on the
track and that the west-bound flyer
on the Great Northern hit him. The
engineer reported from a station uI
the line that he had seen dark Oh

THE GREAT NECESSITY
OF LIVING AT HOME

After three years of constant trav-
cling in Mississippi, and making a
close observation of the condition of
the people and of the country life,
have come to realize more than ever,
the importance of living at home,
making home self sustaining, and a
more rigid enforcement of the laws of
economy among the agricultural Peo-
pie.
Wealth is not acquired by hand la
Dor; by hand labor wealth is pro-
duced but without applying economy
the producer is not the recipient of
his own labor but some one else, there
fore we need to apply with this labor,
economy and good judgment; Extrav-
agance is not only improvishing the
people but the Government. 1t also
gives all advantage to those who do
economic in as much as the wealth
of the country becomes centralized in
the hands of few. and he that has
wealth finds it easy to increase that
wealth, but he who has no money must
work for what he gets. So we find
that through extravaganza that mil
lions of people have been slaves to
the few who have saved their earn
ings.
1t is a common thought among the
people that gentleman or lady who
dresses the finest is the one who is
most honored hence the man without
the means has tried to compete with
his neighbor who has means, and in
doing so has lowered the standard of
his credit and given his creditors
all the advantage of him, therefore
means, it is better to wear patched
pants than to wear fine clothes and
have a mortgage on your home, and
your privileges taken from you. You
may walk he streets with your fine
clothes on and feel like a Vanderbilt,
but when your creditors present your
bill you feel like you have stolen a
sheep.
It is hard to make an empty sack
stand upright so let us fill our sacks

FLORENCE DAVIS
WOODLAND COMEDY
MUCH APPRECIATED

A small but appreciative audience
greeted Miss Florence Davis and FL
lott Dexter in Under the Greenwood
Tree at the Auditorium last night.
The play is a rural comedy and
carries a charming romance of the
simple life, in which Miss Davis as
Mary Hamilton" assumes the role Of
gypsy maid and captivates a coun-
try squire, winning his heart before
the discovery of her real identity.
The play is decidedly the best in
which Miss Davis has been seen and
is better adapted to. display of her
ripening talents. She has always
pleased and captivated. She did so
yesterday, but she did more, compel
ling admiration as well as delight.
Elliott Dexter depicts the leading
masculine role in a manner highly
creditable, though his latitude is much
less than that afforded Miss Davis.
The support is excellent and the
scenery and sittings all that could be
desired The play is wholesome and
leaves the audience in excellent hu-

Statement From Mr.. Bixler.

Editor News:--In your issue of yes
terday evening there was an article
relating to an immigration bureau
with which my name was connected,
and which was made public without
my knowledge or consent. The article
places the Mississippi Central Rail-
road management and the Newman
Lumber Co., in a false light as they
have not, directly or indirectly given
me or anyone associated with me
control of any of their lands. For the
information of your readers l will say
that in company with Mr.. Johnson,
talked to Mr.. Smith of the Mississippi
Central Railroad and Mr.. Peck of
the Newman Lumber Co., discussing
with them the desirability of a fixed
policy with regard to disposing Of
their cut over lands to actual settlers.
Both of these gentlemen are fully
alive to the Importance of the matter
and have the question under considera
ton, with a view to offering them at a
reasonable price to desirable farmers.

lest history with a romantic passion

been willing to accept any solution of

threaten an immediate divorce from
its one love. What conscience it had
was easily satisfied, what scruples it
had it protested were proof against
anything but temptation. That has
been true of the campaigns of the past
it is abundantly true of the struggle
now ending.
Confronted with a change of heart,
conscious of disaffection and defec-

lican leaders may be heard wailing in
a minor key:
