EXCHANGE COMMENT.


John Kosher, the boy with the tre-
mendous appetite, who has astonish-
cd the people OF Denison during the
mast several days with his eating
stunts, has left town. When he took
his departure he was mad all over
and made remark to a Katy brake
man as ne was crossing into Okla
homa yesterday, dat de guys OF dat
burg (meaning Denison) was de
shortest ever" and that they tried
to starve him to death by not giving
him enough to eat.
II was no trick whatever for young
Kosher to eat couple OF dozen fried
eggs with two leaves OF bread at a
sitting and between meals he was
continually munching pies cakes,
bread and other things. He applied
to every restaurant keeper in the
100 block on West Main street for a
lob, but the owners had witnessed
a few OF his performances and not
caring to file a petition in bank
ruptcy, turned him down. Some Of
fered a compromise, to give him az
least one feed q day for his services.
The police refused to tackle the
kid on a vagrancy charge for several
reasons, which we're given by Chief
Of Police Wisdom as follows: First,
that he would eat the city out OF
house and home. Second, that he
was exempt from arrest under the
| juvenile law, which provides that
no person of 16 years Of age or under
shall be tried IN police, justice,
county or district court for any Of
Tense. Third, that he eats five times
as much as a full-grown man and
would never be able to earn one
half the price of his board.-Denison
Herald.
That the Denison people used good
Judgment banshing him from their
city is amply proven for a boy with
such an appetite could pretty nearly
impoverish larger town than Den
ison in very short order. Where
does he stow his grub?

SUGAR BEET CROP LOOKS FINE.

Reports from over one hundred
farmers who planted sugar beet seed,
show that Is per cent of the crops
are in excellent condition and the
remaining rs per cent shows from
half stand to total failure.
The total failures resulted from a
heavy rain after the seed were plant
ed and before they came up, which
nut such a thick crust on the ground
that the delicate plant could not
force its way through-the remedy
tor this will be found in replantlng
Immediately, Col. Groom brought
samples of young beets to this office
that were pulled from fields at
Groom. They are very strong and
bid fair to make very large beets.
The Panhandle without doubt has
great future in the sugar beet.
Large crops can be produced and
laid down at the factory for one
third less than it costs farmers who
grow them on irrigated lands. When
this fact becomes known the beet
growers of the country will seek
lands in the Panhandle. The proper
cultivation OF the growing crop is OF
great Importance to the Panhandle.
The outside world is watching the
results and the coming of both peo-
pie and capital depends on the show
ing that will be made by the farmers

Nothing that can contribute 10 the

ors and home people can be sure OF
something doing All the time from
early morning TIL as late at night as
anyone wants to keep going. In
TACT there will be more things going
than three ring circus provides
and the only just lament that the
colebratcr will have will be that he
cannot distribute himself around
over several parts OF the grounds
and Of the city.
over $1,000 has been raised by
the finance committee and this
amount will be spent in entertaining
the people and in giving barbecue
meals all day. Besides the amount
spent by the committee, the various
private enterprises are making big
preparations and are getting, at cor
siderable outlay, special attractions
for the day.
Gun Club Shoot.
Besides the baseball games there
will probably be contests of several
other kinds to interest sportsmen
here and from other plains towns.
The Amarillo gun club will have its
new automatic traps in place near
the grounds during the day and is
arranging to hold a big target shoot.
Inquiries have been received from
individual sportsmen and from other
clubs over the Panhandle and a meet
between several OF the teams may
be arranged for the day. At any
rate, the club here urges visiting
sportsmen to bring their guns along
on that day and to take part with
them In the shoot in the afternoon,
The gun club here now has about
forty members and includes some ex-
ceptionally good shots. The club
has been without traps since its or
ssnization so the members are out

team can be made that will make q
