The 1911 beet contract just an
nounced by the American Beet Sug-
ar Co. in the valley districts has
met with general approval
In all sections. and should the in
terest that is shown at the present
time continue, there is no reason
why the Lamar factory should not
operate next fall as 1t has done in
the past years.
The contract price contained in
the new scale contract practically
assures Sc a ton for beets in the
valley, is really Sc or better con-
tract, Is per cent beets bringing
that figure. The flat rate contract
of $3.50 is a decided raise, but 1t
Is more than probablethat the scale
will be the popular contract with
the growers.
The Lamar factory was closed
this season owing to the shortage
of acreage, but local officials OF
the company say that there is no
reason why Lamar should not ex-
perience tire factory payroll stimu-
lus next season, should the acre
age Justify running the plant again.
From the terms of the new con-
tract the price paid to the farmers
seems to be generally accepted as
remarkable raise, and one that
will bring back a large acreage OF
beets in this section. The price
paid for beets being high. will
mean additional thousands of dol
lars distributed in the section.
The business men of the city are
anxious that the factory operate in
good campaign next season, and
| with everyone back of the beet
| proposition, under the new high
contract Lamar gives promises OF
entering into a year that will prove
even more prosperous than the
last.
The price contained in the con-
tract, dropping the minimum to IL
per cent instead of IA per cent.
and raising 33 1-3 cents a ton
from 12 per cent, is the highest
price paid for beets in the world
| as far as is known, and Is itself
flattering evidence to the prosper
ity of the Arkansas Valley.

FOR DECEMBER


Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Thought to stealanother one,
But when, with bacon 40 cents,
He thought upon the consequence.
And what he probably would get
In case he landed in the net,
The lawyers he would have to hire
To save him from the butchers ire,
The money Cudahy would spend
To push it to the bitter end,
The merciless concern Of Swift
To see he was not set adrift,
The sum that Armour. If he fled,
Would offer for him live or dead.
and how the unforgiving lust
For vengeance would move the
trust
To make example of him lest
Some other piper's son protest
Against pork chops at thirty flat.
And picked pigs feet selling at
Six-bits a dozen, souse a bit.
And sausage even close to it
When Tom considers it. in brief.
And also how much more thief
He would bethistime than before,
He wisely passed the butchers door
Rejoiced that self had stood the
test.

Our Mr.. Morgan will revert
To hanging up his spacious shirt,
And tying up the tail to pot
Whatever Santa Claus has got.

To hang our stockings under his.
But faith is hope, and hope is trust
And some fine day the tail will

December is from the latin de
CEN. meaning ten. 1t was origin
ally the tenth month of the year.
but owing to the widespread un-
preparedness for Christmas it has
been showed along from time to
time, until it occurs now as far
back as we have been able to get
1t. Caesar, who was in the habit
of making each of his soldiers some
kind of a present, even suggested
pushing 1t further along still and
having about fifteen months in the
yeav, but the Roman merchants
protested that it was impossible to
sell holiday goods except in very
cold weather, and Brutus. Cassius
and several other Roman business
men finally stabbed him.
The custom of giving presents
was originated by the Greeks. and
they had such a faculty for getting
the better of 1t when they exchang-
ed presents with anyone that the
expression Beware of the Greeks
bearing gifts" became historic. II
was on a Christmas day when all
the Greeks were showing what they
had gotten and when LAUGHING
about it that Diogense. who made
a practice of criticising the national
faults in some amusing way. set
out on his famous search for an
honest man. The Persians one tim
resorted to arms in an effort tc
get their presents back. but they
were badly defeated at the battle
of Marathon, and not serious at
tempt to get presents back has
ever been made from that time tc
this.

tended for babies are clean and whole
some. To this he adds the injunction that
milk should not be received unless 1t is
delivered sweet, clean and cold in cean
bottles. and upon receipt it should be
placed on ice and kept there until used.
OF the other deaths during the week
eleven were caused by diseases of the
kidneys and malignant growths of various
forms, six by diseases of the heart, five
by meningitis and four each by apoplexy,
bronchitis and pulmonary tuberculosis.
Two deaths were attributed to typhoid
fever and there were three suicides.
The decrease in population due TO
increase caused by births, there being
14J new citizens added to the COM
munity. Eighty-three of the babies were
white and sixty-tWo colored.
