The Woman and the Feline.

A western judge-let us hope he
had been singularly unfortunate In
his female enthusiastically re.
marked that all women were cats.
Women read that press dispatch
everywhere, one morning, and for a
few hours at least the ears of that
Judge must have burned, writes Isabel
Gordon Curtis. in Success Magazine.
Still, there are women who Endorsed
his judgment. although they feel that
he might have qualified his remark
and. said: Some women are cats"
One can't help wondering why poor
pussy. from time immemorial, should
have been picked out as the prototype
OF mean, treacherous, back biting
woman. for cat which Is well-fed and
kindly treated is lovable animal,
and. queerly enough. It is the animal on
which most women lavish their love.
A man who studies the traits of dumb
creatures tells us, however, that the
female cat treats the species OF her
own sex In peculiarly mean and
vicious manner. II bites instead OF
backbiting. and, at the first throb of
jealousy, will scratch like a good fell
low. II that is SO, We have to con-
fess that there are cat-like women
everywhere. In the lowest rank Of life
and In the highest, for we have had
cat-like queens; clever old Queen
Bess had many pussy-cat trait.

WILL BEGIN
BEET DIGGING
Several Hundred Samples
Taken From Different
Fields.

The sugar company has taker
several hundred samples Of beets
from different fields, and after
testing them finds that they are
ready to work up. Notices have
been sent to farmers who have
early beets notifying them to
commence digging AT ONCE
Those who start then will soon
be through with their children
and can send them to school
earlier. 1t will also be easier to
get help when only part Of the
farmers are digging than when
all are notified. Some may say
they will lose in tonnage by start
ing early; but they will have the
advantage of long days and bet
ter weather and may only dig one
or two acres out of five, ten or
twenty. BY that time hundreds
wish to start; but if those who
were notified are digging, the
company does not stop them to
let others dig. When the farmer
considers the benefit to his land
by digging early, having his
children in good weather to help
him, getting their money early in
the fall, having no mud or snow
to work in, escaping cold hands
and feet, having their fall plow-
ing done, etc., it more than makes
up for the shrinkage. Last spring
the company gave the farmers
until March 18th to make their
contracts, and up to that date
made contracts with every farmer
who applied. At that date the
company had as many acres as
could be worked, but many of
their old customers neglected &C.
take contracts at that time and
as they had raised beets for sew
eral years the company desire,
to contract with them and do the
best they could with the beets.
This gave us many hundred acres
more than the company had de-
cided to take, hence the necessity
of starting early in order 10
avoid the great loss which the
factory has sustained in other
years through receiving frozen
beets and having them rot on
their hands.
This year the company will
start its run Sept. 14th. Sup
pose some farmer should say /:
IF / am notified ] will not Dig"
IT he refuses to comply with the
terms of the contract, could ie
compel the company to take his
beets if they were overstocked I?
Two years ago we had a wet fall,
and many sugar beets spoiled,
but the company took all the
farmers beets and paid $3.50 per
ton for them. Now if the com.
pany lives up to its agreement,
why should not the farmer fiji
his?
The following clause is in the
beet contract which every grow
er signed: "And the said grow
er further agrees to dig and de-
liver the beets growing on such
land Mt such time and in such
quantities as the said field super
intendent or his assistant shall
direct" Now let every farmer
who gets a notice dig at once and
start the factory early. II
through sickness or other I'M
avoidable cause a farmer could
not dig, he should confer with
the sugar company and make
different arrangements. Some Of
the weather prophets are predict
ing an early and severe winter.
We have already had several
heavy frosts at night, and .he
covered with snow.
If those who get notice dig at
once they are safe, let the wealth.
err be as it may.

Waterway a Necessity.

The resolutions adopted at the
waterways convention present a con-
crete agreement for the exact things
the association wants: Epitomized,
they are:
The purchase by the Government
and reconstruction of the Chesapeake
and Delaware canal.
The deepening Of the waterway
from Norfolk to Beaufort, n. G.
Surveys for canals from Beaufort
south, and from the Delaware river
to New York harbor.
The deepening of the Hudson river
so that it shall meet in it's upper
reaches the needs of the traffic of the
improved Erie canal.
a channel between Long Island
Sound and Massachusetts Bay, which
is already in contemplation.
The resolutions as adopted by the
convention are as follows:
'That the business interests of the
seab oard population directly and of
the entire nation indirectly require
the removal at the earliest possible
moment of the natural distractions
to free interior deep water route
from Massachusetts Bay to Key West
along the lines indicated by existing
canals and surveys already made
under the auspices of the Govern
ment of the United States.
THAT in the judgment of the mem
bers of this Association, and of sew
eral of the foremost railway experts
in the country, the construction of
this water highway can alone give
gravely necessary and permanent re-
lief to the business of transportation
already hampered by insufficient ia
cilities and threatened with more
serious obstruction in the early fu-
| ture.
THAT the evidence is conclusive
that an interior deep-water channel
along the coast will be likely to repay
even very large cost within brief
period by reducing the charges for
the movement of commodities.
THAT the canals should be dug in
any case by the Federal Government;
first, because the Government alone
has authority over navigable waters;
second, because all the canals should
be free, but chiefly bncause the en-
terprise planned in the interests of
peace will have incalculable value for
the whole nation in case of war.
THAT in the opinion of this asso-
citation Congress should deal with
erative national investment, and not

personal controversies affecting the
popularity or the prestige of an Ad
Observation-Disclosures are some of the
points at which the reform of veracity
might begin in American public life.
Rear Admiral Evans, not long ago,
wrote in magazine article an anus
ing account of how Mr.. Loeb had
publicly pronounced unfounded a
statement concerning the cruise of
the feet around the world which the
admiral knew to be true because the
President himself had told it to him !;
and the admiral proceeded to say, in
effect, that he knew so many things
that were true which Mr.. Loed would
doubtless deny, in the name of the
President, that he could keep Mr..
Loeb denying for years to come.
Rear Admiral Evans statement has
been treated more as good story
than aught else; people have bad
their laugh over it-not, however,
because they disbelieved it. 1t seems
that in this country official denials
have come to be laughing matter,
and this fact only strengthens the
contention that some reform in
veracity is urgently needed in order
that the national dignity may be
maintained and that the morals of
our children may not be corrupted.
The mere existence of the Ananias
Club and the universal conception of
it as national joke, membership in
which seems to carry no social stigma
whatever, cOnclusively demonstrates
that something is wrong in the
present state of things. Conscious OF
the difficulties which must beset one
who attempts to reform abuses such
as those under consideration, it may
still be urged that an uplift has be-
come imperative throughout both the
press and officialdom. 1t is certain
that the two must join hands and CO.
operate in the holy bonds of simple
truth-telling, if any effort to attain
higher levels of veracity is to be
successful, That the present situation
is deplorable, even intolerable, must
be admitted by every patriot and
honest man; and if there cannot be
an end made ofit, then public opinion
is much weaker engine of mora
and social advancement than has
been assumed in these later days"

Conservation of the present clean gramme mapped out by the City Trus- tees, and emphasized by the action of that body at the adjourned meeting held on Tuesday night.
 It is felt that while Ell Centro gen. orally is in good sanitary condition. there are various matters which should receive immediate attenion, from the viewpoint of health, and also in order that the city may present as bright and cleanly appearance as possible to the visitors who will be descending upon us by scores this winter.
 After a thorough discussion of the situation at Tuesday nights meeting, the following resolution was unani- mously adopted:
 Resolved, that the City Health Commissioner, Trustee Hamilton, is hereby authorized to inaugurate cam paign of cleaning up the city, in order that the good health of El Centro may be conserved; and be it further re- solved that the City Marshal give his assistance to the enforcement of the law in these matters in all cases whenever and wherever requested"
 An ordinance was adopted in re- gard to gambling. It is practically covering the same grounds as ordi- nance No. 2, except that it provides certain changes in the penalty clauses, giving the City Recorder more discretion in the imposing of senten- ces, than is allowed by the original ordinance.
 Ordinance No. 20, providing for the issuance of the sewer bonds, was post poned for final action until an ad- journed meeting to be held on Friday evening.
