for the local option election the cam
paign in this city is warming up.
Every day now people gather on the

sfble to forecast with accuracy the re-
suit of the voting August Is. but as
the campaign progresses 1t becomes
clear that the issue will be decided
by the farmers.
The prohibitionists declare that the
farmers vote will be strongly in favor
of closing saloons, but they are some
what afraid that the country people,
busy with their harvest work, will
not show up at the polls.
The Local Option club claims .
majority in Grangeville. but so also
do those who favor the license sys-
tenn. Cottonwood is said to be on the
side OF the saloons by a small ma
Jority.

port of a dry county is scheduled for
Sunday morning in the Armory. The
poung people will recite appropriate
poetry and prose and there will be
music. Tuesday night the nigh

Settlement.

Purcellvine is one OF the growing towns
OF Loudoun County which has acquired

Meeting which has become an annual
affair. The meeting is held in a large
and comfortable pavilion. surrounded by
tents Of campers and others. who take 10
the woods rather than the boarding house

BEET SUGAR IN AUSTRALIA
Government Co-Operates with the
Farmer in Its Development.
Goes Even to the Extent of PrOvid-

The government Of the state OF Victoria
has decided 70 make an effort TO re-
vive the beet-sugar industry. which was
attempted ten or twelve years ago. but
which failed. owing 10 the lack Of ex-
perience OF those engaged in the enter
prise. At that time a large factory was

Maffra. and was afterward taken over by
the government in lieu OF the money ad-
vanced 10 aid the industry.
This factory IS 20 be used as an ex-
perimental concern 10 encourage and aid

order that the field in it's turn may en-
able the factory TO put itself upon a
commercial basis and ultimately pay its
way Sugar-beet experimental stations
are to be started Immediately in chosen
localities. with government officers in
charge Of the work.

ture Of the state are addressing large
meetings of farmers and placing before
them proposals 10 the effect that the

the supervision OF an officer of the de-
pdrtment OF agriculture IN 1911, ana keep

sum OF money previously advanced. pro-
y!ded that b. March next, 1000 acres OF
beets are sown. The government also
undertakes 20 find labor for thinning and

who could not do so themselves, at
