Selfshness,

In dealing with a selfish person a
primary rule is, do not yield to him.
says the Western watchman. Unset
fish people are to blame for a good
deal of this worlds selfishness: often
they yield through mistaken sense
of duty to course Of conduct which, II
they considered them candid!y. they
would know to be wrong. They tacit-
ly encourage sin when they allow Sell
tishness to have its own way. If ev-
eryone acted upon this plan selfish
ness would govern the world entirely.
Many a man has become a domestic
tyrant, who if his selashness had been
checked in its incipiency by g. brave
and clear sighted wife. might have
made a good husband and father.
Many sacrificing soul has ap-
piled the Golden Rule with a literal

Effect Of Sorrow.

Sorrow has in it for every woman a
germ of good 1t has two flavors, fig.
uratively speaking, bitter one and a
sweet, and on ones own strength of
character depends the effect. A woman
who allows herself to dwell upon her
unhappiness becomes selfish in the ex-
treme. Every person who comes in
contact with her is made to feel either
unhappy themselves or uncomfortable.
She herself finds everything tainted
with bitterness. and thinking always
OF herself, puts into life difficulties
and bitterness that taint everything.
The woman who becomes unselfish
from sorrow Or disappointment gets

with whom she comes in contact. She

There is no dispute about it; all
parties commemorative landlords who
sell, the farmers who buy and the pol
iticians who do the talking and pass
the laws-all realize the injustice of
the present situation to the landlords,
and agree that something should be
done by parliament as promptly as
possible to complete the land pur-
chases under the terms agreed upon,
as absolutely essential to the peace
and welfare of Ireland. But, as is often
the case, there is difference of opin-
ion as to the best methods to adopt.
The situation is very much like the re.
cent currency complications in the
United States. Everybody admits and
demands that some relief should be
devised Immediately but it is difficult
for the leaders to agree upon the rem.

MUCH SUGAR BEET
LAND IN WALLOWA
r. G. TAYLOR OF LA GRANDE
MADE TOUR OF VALLEY
LAST WEEK.

There is enough land in this val
ley, particularly adapted to the rails
ing of sugar beets to keep severa
factories going if it was all sowr
to beets, said F. G. Taylor of the
Amalgamated Sugar company while
in Enterprise last week.
Mr.. Taylor in company with L. E.
Jordan of the o. R. & l. company
rode over considerable of the Slope
and Prairie Creek and met a num-
Der of farmers. His special mis-
sion was to see If the farmers IL
here would consider the raising o.
beets, and later on a representa-
tive Of the company will come in and
make contracts. 1t is hoped to Sc
cure a thousand of acres Of beets ir
this valley.
Mr.. Taylor says where beet cul-
ture is followed on scientific princi-
pies it proves very profitable crol
for the farmer. Statistics gathere,
by the U. S. department of agricul-
ture show the average net returns
in the whole country is $49 per acre.
In the Grande Ronde some farmers
went into beet raising on too large
scale at the start, sowing hundreds
of acres, much more than they coult
attend to properly,
The best results are secured b!
the farmer, said Mr.. Taylor, wht
plants from 20 to 80 acres, or wha
he and his family can attend to cas-
lily with the extra help sent by thu
factory during wedding and thinning
time. Beets do not wear out tn,
soil and where alternated with pota'
toes may be raised indefinitely. The
La Grande factory secures extr;
help, Japanese-when white labo
cannot be secured-for the laborious
work Of wedding and thinning.
Mr.. Taylor says 5000 acres will fur
nish enough beets to warrant a fac
tory. In this connection it is ap
propos to quote from letter to T
M. Littleton of this city, who wrote

business:
