Something Stronger Than Wind.
Senator Depew, apropos of March
winds, said, at dinner in Washing
ton:
can old-fashioned fellow, one year
when Easter came in March, paid too
many Easter calls and drank too many
cups of eggnogg, and. alas, was quite
overcome.
"As the old-fashioned fellow lurched,
in the late afternoon, toward home,
little girl watched him from her
window, curiously.
"'Oh, mamma she said, come and
look at Mr. Stuyvesant. Isn't the wind
blowing him about!'"

(BY GEORGE s. WOODRUFF)
The great improvement of recent
years in the gladiolus is remarkable
because of the fact that this flower
has been cultivated for about 100
years. There are about 140 species,
of which some Is are of European and
West Asiatic origin, few have been
discovered on the mountains of trop-
ical Africa, but practically all our gar
den strains are from the South At
rican species, variously hybridized.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.

Fayetteville, March PA tele-
gram from Lake Charles, La,
Monday morning announced the
sudden death of Mr.. J. C. Cor
ham, Of this city. Mr.. Gorham
was one of the most successful
business men of Fayetteville.
He was connected with some
OF the most important enterprises
in this city, and was also inter-
ested in the turpentlne business
in Florida and Louisiana. The
news of his death was a great
shock to this community.
The street railway system of
Fayetteville is to be sold on
March 30th by order of the
superior court. 1t is understood
that the indebtedness of the
company amounts to about S75,-
600. This is valuable property
and no doubt the purchaser will
extend the car lines and other
wise improve the system.
Miss Mary Pescud, a mission.

and it's immense undevelope(
resources Brazil offers splendid
opportunities to young people
who are seeking either wealth OF
usefulness.
The new Baptist church herr
is now completed, except the
seating of the main auditorium
The building committee adopt
ed a unique plan to raise m oney

bers and friends of the church t
contribute each enough to pa,
| for one sitting. Over five hun
dred sittings have been taken
thus providing ample funds t
, pay for the pews, which will b

Flood conditions almost unpre-

The exact number of deaths
caused by avalanches in the

AFTER HIGHER
BEET PRICES

With the further organization of
of the Farmers union in this county
as well as others on the western slope,
Will be made by the organized ranch
men to boost the contract price for
sugar beets sold to the local factory.
At the Farmers congress in Fort
Collins some months ago, a commit
tee was appointed to submit report
on the sugar beet industry to ascer-
tain IL the farmer was receiving a
proper share of the profits when he
sold his beets for So straight or So so
when stored in silos. The committee
returned with an exhaustive report in
which ii was stated that the farmer
received about s1.60 per ton for the
sugar in the beet while the factory
sold its product for about S19 per
ton. This they declared to be unfair
and accompanied the report with a
new contract which has been accepted
by the union and which will be the
basis for the fight which they expect
to make for better prices. The new
contract calls for Sc per ton for the
beets at the factory or 1915 stored.
The meeting this month at which
county union will be organized is
looking toward the same end. SO far,
the difficulty in the way of the union
forces is that the larger growers are
not members of the organization and
so the membership is hardly strong
enough as yet to make successful
fight.
