for Several Days

for Several Days
This has been record-making winter
in the Arkansas Valley so far. and the
beet farmers are likely to be severe suf-
fers from the unusual weather conditions
Tne early November snow storms caught
many growers unprotected who have
since been unable to get into their beet
fields to harvest the bumper crop. and
prospects are rather gloomy for some oi
them getting their now frozen product to
the factory before thaw intervenes to
spoil the beets.
The stormy weather Of last Friday and
Saturday was followed by rapidly fall
ing mercury on Saturday evening, and
the early hours of Sunday morning were
bitter cold. the report from the Expert
mental Station registering as low as 8
degrees below zero. The mercury con-
tinued to hover about the zero mark all
day Sunday and as the sun-what little
there was to be seen of it-went Gown
that evening the temperature appeared
to take another chill.

was about 20 degrees warmer than the

doubted BY many who insjnuated that our
weather man was trying to make amends
for the brand of weather he has been

the past month by trying to persuade the
people that 'twssn't very cold. The

The average Temperature for Tuesday
was d few degrees higher. but the cold

yesterday did it appear that the mercury
might reach normal some time this
month.
The cold snap coming as it did when
the roads were almost mire rendered
them well nigh impossible and even
those farmers who had sliced their heets
were unable to haul them in over the
rough and frozen roads. and for a few

the A. 3 S. Co. concentrated their beet

DEMAND FOR CHICKENS
KEEPS THE PRICE UP

Not at any time since the season for
spring chickens opened has the quality
OF the fowl given such satisfaction TO
buyers as now. A big demand for fryers
is the result. keeping all shipments pretty
well cleaned up. But for this, prices would
undoubtedly be cheaper.
The weight OF the average chicken now
reaching the market Is one pound and a
half. This is the most popular SIZE con-
sidering all classes OF demand. which Is
another thing that helps to consume the
shipments.
Later broods have Jared better than the
early ones. A great many OF the chickens.
especially those shipped from Virginia,
have been grain fed. and are unusually
fat. Indications are that the chicken mar
ket will become steadily better from the
consumers standpoint until the close Of
the season.

Beginning September 1, under two
divisions OF the Reds" and the
Blues" an imaginary race viii ne
made by the U. p Sabbath school from
Dover to Philadelphia in quest of new
scholars of all ages who do not regu-
larry attend services elsewhere, and
who live in the neighborhood Of the
church.
At the outset the church will be
considered as located at "Dover" and
probably an address will be given by
some citizen Of Dover. When fifty new
scholars are secured the workers will
be at wilmington" and will stop
long enough TO give a reception to the
new members When fifty more are
secured the stop will be at Chester"
with another reception to the new
members. The last fifty or more Will
be secured before the stop at "Phila-
delphia" can be made. when another
social and reception will be given.
gRed" and blue" Captains will be
chosen and the contest promises to
be not only spirited but a means OF
good in the community. The work
will be explained more fully to-moT-
row and each Sabbath thereafter, 80
all will be acquainted with the plans.

the home Of the parents OF the bride
and so planned 10 serenade them.
The boys secured horns and other
noise producing instruments OF all
kinds and stationing themselves in
front Of the Goodman home started to
make a great racket and kept It up
for about half an hour. Word was
passed around then that the bridal
couple was escaping through the back
yard. The serenaders. which num-
bered about thirty by this time, and
which also included some young wo-
men. made a dash around the block
20 head them OFF. They encountered
them on Third street. near Woodlawn
avenue, and followed them on Third
street TO Bayard avenue, all the while
making a great racket. At Bayard
avenue the couple rushed aboard a
trolley car. The crowd hated to lose
the couple so soon and one of the
serenaders grabbed the hat OF the
groom to compel them TO get off the
car. The groom quickly chased af-
ter the boy who had his hat and then
rejolned his bride on the car. which
was going in the direction of Brandy

the matter good naturedly, however
