Beet sugar men who have looked the
section over believe that beets can be
grown successfully without irrigation
in the Arkansas valley in Kansas be-
tween DODGE City and Great Bend
and an experiment will be made along
that line this season. If it is shown
that beets can be grown in the val
ley without irrigation it is possible
that coming years may see beet raising
extensively carried On along the old
Santa Fe, trail from central Kansas
to the mountains in Colorado.

1t is a fact conceded by all dairymen
and feeders that pasture grass is as
nearly perfect feed as it is possible
to have. There are several reasons for
this One is that it is juicy and succu-
lent and. entirely apart from it's nutri-
tive properties. is eaten with keen rel
ish by all )mestic animals. Added to
this is the fact that it contains in nice
ly balanced proportions the several
nutritive elements required for meat
and milk production. Another point is
that it is not eaten in stuffy. i'll venti-
lated and poorly lighted barns. but il,
the open, where with every mouthful
of grass taken into the stomach a
breath Of sweet fresh air is taken into
the lungs. purifying the blood. aiding
the heart action and increasing to a
maximum the animals power Of as
similation. which in turn makes possi-
BILE the consumption of still larger
quantities Of food and an increased
production of milk and meat.

By way Of showing that the west
does not have monopoly in the op-
portunities it offers for home seekers
may be cited the case of colony of
Italians who short time ago settled
in Chautauqua county. N Y. There
were 400 men in the colony. which
numbered 1000 with women and chill
dren They bought up l75S acres Gf
land at $50 an acre and put it into
vineyards, and the same land is today
valued at $50 an acre. an increas"
in value of more than 400 per cent
The same thing on a smaller scale is
being done by other foreigners in this
and other New England states. the
land being used for the production of
a great variety of early vegetables and
other staple food crops. Bred to an
almost painful thrift in the old coun-
tries, they have come to the new and
by applying the same methods in the
sections mentioned are becoming well
to do, where the less thrifty American
is scarcely able TO exc out living.

that the amount due the county

doubt if the amount these organ

The other day crowd of stu
dents from a college that adver-
tises Christian education entered
a car with their baseball equip
ment, in the usual boisterous,
noisy manner that characterizes
most of the ball teams. This eff.
fort to make themselves conspi-
cuous in a crowded car wouldn't
have been so bad, if they had
left off the oaths and "cuss
words" in the presence Of ladies'.
If there's anything elevating OF
refining in the average baseball
game we have never seen much
evidence Of it, and as a baseball
team from a college Of Christian
education does not. as a rule,
make the Christian part very
impressive. -Marshville Home.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Senor Cas-
trillo. representative of the Nicaragua
insurrectionists in this city, today re-
ceived a cablegram from Gen. Estrada,
head of the revolutionary movement,
which declares that the revolution army
is strongly entrenched at Rama and
forces of Zelaya are two days march
from the city.
The cablegram asserts that a revolu-
tionary victory is certain, but that fol-
lowing it, the revolutionists will take
no definite steps until their program is
approved by the American state de-
partment.
This is presumed to refer especially
to any decision that may be made in
the case of President ZelaWa should
the insurgents win.
The cabegram as translated by Senor
Castrillo follows:
RAMA, via Bluehelds December II.
-Castrillo, Washington, D. c.: We oc-
cupy our impregnable position at Rama
town with an army more numerous and
more decided than ever. Enemy is two
days march from Rama. From there
he asks us for a parley. We are not
disposed to concede anything and are
sure Of victory. That is our true situa-
tion, and our plan from the beginning
has been to capture the enemy at
Rama. We are disposed not to take
resolute action without approval of the
state department, to whom you must
communicate this. When the battle is
expected we will advise you.
