GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR This SEASON
Beet Acreage Likely to Greatly
Exceed Last Year
GRATIFYING RECEPTION
OF new CONTRACTS
Spring Flowing Is Actively Under
away and Prospects Are Very
Encouraging to Farmers

Following the past week of exception
ally good weather for farming. during
winch spring blowing and land prepar-
atlon has rapidly advanced. better line
can be had on the crop prospects than at
an earller period OF the season.
Reports from the A. B. S. Co. agricul-
tunsts show gratifying reception of the
new beet contracts by the growers OF this
section and the acreage signed is said to
be in excess Of that of last year at this
time.
Owing to the fact that the A. 3. S. Co.
has evneed d willingness to meet the
farmers more than half way this year. in
volunteering TO raise the price to be paid
for beets. Offering substa ntiaI prizes for
beets carrying the highest sugar content
and discontinuing the dump charges. the
feeling existing between the growers and
the factory is exceptionally good. When
ever the growers have mentioned any
grievance an adjustment has been quickly
offered. and this has done much toward
cementing the two branches of the in
dustry.
Although the northern beet growers
have asked Arkansas Valley growers not
TO sign beet contracts until after the state
convention of the Farmers Union. the
growers are realizing that they must ae-
cep. or rei,et beet raising as individuals.
and as active preparations are already
under way to prepare the ground by
spring plowIng before the winds Of the
latter part Of this month and early April
hs Jens the surface and makes eultiva-
tioS~ ~aiffieult, there is good reason to be-
lievs that the beet acreage this year will
be larger than that Of last year. -.-

A Good Man Gone.

Andrew Park, whose sudden death
from pneumonia in Pueblo on Satur-
dav afternoon cast 4 gloom over the
steel CITY," was the father OF w. \.
Park, master mechanic OF the Rocky
Ford factory OF the 4. B. s. Co, and
the sincere sympathy OF a large cir
Gle OF friends goes out to the latter
in his affiiction.
MIR. Park was one of the pioneers
OF the Arkansas valley and was in
tcrcstcd in Elany upbuilding indus
tries throughout the valley. He was
OF a mechanical mind, as is his son.
he being the constructing engineer OF
the first bridge that was built across
the Missouri river at Omaha, at-that
time said to have been wonderful
engineering accomplishment.
OF the deceased the Pueblo Star
Journal said:
He was one OF the rapidly disap-
old timers and he was one of the
most useful OF the sturdy pioneers
who had devoted their lives to the
conqucring of the stern obstacles i'm.
posed by nature when this section OF
the country was wide expanse OF
rugged mountain and stiflin desert.
II was such men as Andrew Park
who were responsible for the great
progress that has been made by the
West. and it is to such men that
those following in the work OF the
development of this vast empire OF
the Rockies and the area beyond
them must look for inspiration in the
labor of continuing the work of up
building which they began. His life
was an inspiration, his death a calam-
ity to this community"

Not Lazy Farming.

The following article from an irri-
CATION bulletin may prove of inter
est to many OF our readers:
Not all of the so-callcd irrigated
land OF the west is capable of pro-
fitablc operation. 1t is a form OF
crime to urge a man-ignorant OF
conditions or rcquirements-to settle
in a country where there is INSULT
cicnt moisture to produce a profitable
crop. Three clements must be con-
sidercd: Precipitation. evaporation,
and soil. \ slight rainfall may be
utilized to produce profit bearing
crop returns, provided there is low
percentage of evaporation or 4 mois-
turc retaining soil Cunder scientific
trcatmcn). or both.
Irrigated farming is good farming
in many parts OF the world, but II Is
not Lazy Farming" 1t requires the
utilization OF formula which has
always brought good results: sr-
Sig:
Good Soil. one part.
Good Sense, one part.
Willingness to Learn. one
Willingness to Work. one
part.
Some moisture properly con-
served by mcthodical work.
Mix well before expecting
results-then continue to use.
Farmers not willing to become STU
dents and scientific investigator
and more-those not willing to work
and mix gray matter" with the
dust of the earth-should take UP
some other line of agricultural ef-
fort"

be well equipped to assume the duties
of commissioners.
This commission will be composed of
Los Angeles men and will act as a
sort Of central committee to which
committees from places around the
county can make advances. Commit
tees, official and unofficial, from va
rious of the smaller cities around the
county have visited the mayor and
asked on what terms the districts they
represented could come into the city OF
Los Angeles so as to share in the
Owens river water and power. The
mayor has been powerless to answer
these questions because he has had. no
authority to do so. but the committee
he Is to appoint with the authorization
of the council, can answer them.
The plan is not to take i'm the entire
county as II is now bounded, but to
include only that portion which the
waters of the owens river will supply.
That viii include n large territory. for
the city will get 10000 miners inches
from the owens river and as it Is now
constituted will require only 1000 inches
for itself

WILL TRY TO FIX UP THE
EASTsIDE POLICE HEATERS
Council Committee Wants to Save
Big Plumbing Bill

Relieving it is not necessary to
spend $500 to remodel a heating sys-
tenn that only cost 5000 in the first
place, the building committee will rec
ommend to council wednesday that a
competent steam filter be employed
by the city to cooperate with the
boiler inspector and determine what Is
necessary for eastside police station.
The committee believes that the sys-
tenn now in use can be made to do with
few alterations that will cost COM
paratively little.
With great reluctance the finance
committee last Tuesday agreed to ap-
propriate $500 to the police depart
ment to improve the heating systems
at both eastside and central stations.
The largest part of the money was to
be expended at eastside where the
radiators have been placed at the cell
ing instead of on the floor.

ISSUES ADVICE ON USE
OF NON-POSTAGE STAMPS
Postmaster Receives Report as
to Holiday Greetings and
Charity 'StiCkers'

In advance of the coming, holiday
| mails and because of the use of the
| outside of letters and packages for the
sending of Christmas and New Years
| greetings last year, Postmaster w. H.
| Harrison has received announcements
| from Second Assistant Postmaster
General Joseph Stewart advising him as
| to the use of charity stamps and
| greetings in the mails.
The use of non-postage stamps has
| become so extensive. especially during
| the holiday season, many being placed
on the address side of the envelope or
| package, and being the same or near
the same color of the postage stamp,
that much trouble has been experienced
by the mail handlers. Some countries
have issued announcements prohibit
ing the use of the stamps, while
others permit them under certain con-
ditions.
The following countries refuse to ad-
nit to their mails articles bearing non
postage Christmas stamps or other ad-
hesive charity stamps or labels.
Guatemala, Uruguay, Portugal, If
they resemble regular postage stamps.
The following, however, will admit
articles bearing such stamps, but only
when affixed to the reverse and not to
the address side:
British East Africa, Uganda, An
tigua, Barbardos, Bermuda, British
North Borneo Cayman4 Islands,
Cyprus, Gold Coast. Dominica, Falk-
land Islands, Gambia, Gibraltar, Brit
ish Honduras, Jamaica, Mauritius and
dependencies, Monserrat, Nevis. South
ern Nigeria, Saint Christopher, Saint
Lucia, Saint Vincent. Seychelles, Sierra
Leone, British Somaliland, Trinidad,
Turks and Caicos Islands, Virgin
Islands, Germany, Austria Crowded
they do not resemble postage stamps),
Great Britain, Southern Rhodesia,
Transvaal.
Articles liable to be refused admit
tance to any of the foregoing countries
on account of the fact that they bear
charity stamps will not be dispatched
from this country, but will be returned
to the sender if known. If the sender
is not known, such articles will be
sent to the fourth assistant postmaster
general, division of dead letters.
To preclude delay'in handling articles
bearing Christmas stamps to be trans
mitted in the international mails the
covers of such articles should bear the
full name and address of the senders

POLICEMAN, ACCUSED OF
BEING DRUNK, MAY BE FINED

Charges against Daniel Mcdonald.
patrolman, probably will be dismissed
by the police commission when Nc
Donald is placed on trial Monday night.
Mcdonald is accused of having been
intoxicated while on duty, but unless
some evidence to sustain the charges is
produced before the commission meets
but little time probably will be devoted
to the case.
The only evidence against McDon-
aid that has been developed so far is
that one man saw him at a time when
he thought he was drunk. The SER
geant who investigated the case i'm
medately on the report made to police
headquarters, says that he found Nc
Donald at home in bed an hour after
he was reported intoxicated and that
he exhibited no symptoms of even
having taken a drink.

Hundreds of inquiries have been re-
ceived during the past two days at
Labor Temple auditorium from people
who want information about seats for

New York, Nov 30.-Ardrew Car
negie in the robes and hood of Lord
Rector, and IL D. of st. Andrews uni

chapel of the new buildings of the
Union Theological seminary and
looked down at an unusual assemblage
of scholastic and clerical dignitaries
gathered to witness the dedication of
the chapel. The procession was made
up of representatives of 121 UNIVERSE
ties and colleges wearing the hoods
and robes of their degrees. The sem
mary choir, singing Cali Hail the
Power of Jesus Name" was followed
by the faculty and then came the dele
gates in the inverse order of the date
of founding of the institutions they
represented.

to serve the church by training it's
servants, to make fit ones filter, and
to keep the unfit out so much as In us

said President Brown to get at the
truth, to search after new aspects of
new truths and ''to help the young
brethren who come to us to see
straight with their own eyes"
The Rev Dr. Parkhurst, senior mem
Der of the board of directors, made
the dedicatory prayer. He prayed
that the institution might not become
merely a scholastic one where learn
ing was treated as an end, rather than
a means.
The concluding address was made
by Prof. Charles A. Briggs, the senior
member of the faculty, whose ad-
vanced opinions on matters theological
subjects have often caused hisbrethren
