MORE SUGAR BEETS
THAN LAST YEAR
ONLY HALF ACREAGE OF 1909
Sugar Content Greater Than Usual
at This Time Of Season

More beets than last year with
only one half the acreage is the pre-
diction made by H. Timothy. head
field man for this district. Never In
the history of the industry here. ac-
cording to Mr.. Timothy. have the
beets been In such fine condition at
this time of year. Last year $1,000
acres were seeded to sweet roots In
this district. One third of this acre
age was flooded out and most of the
balance was either hailed on or made
poor stand SO that the average for
the total acreage was cut down to
less than ten tons.
Mr.. Timothy thinks that the only
accident that could possibly stand
in the way of a sixteen ton average
this year Is tremendous hail storm.
He also thinks that the new sys-
tenn OF paying for the sugar content
instead of by the ton will net hand
some premium for the growers. Ac-
cording to tests which were made
last week by the factory chemists the
grower can figure on an average of
1915 to $6 per ton weight.
A quantity OF beets were tx
en- from few ordinary fields and
the sugar content showed ten per
cent. These were but half grown
and the beets do not get their full
sugar content until fully grown.
However. close estimate can be
made by the experts. who place the
average sugar content at about fif-
ten per cent. which means that the
grower will receive close to Sc per
ton on the average.
Much money has been spent on re-
pairs at the local plant, which vas
compelled to shut down prematurely
last season on account OF its condi-
ton. According to the field man
there will be beets enough to run
three plants in this battery for a
full one hundred days and probably
more.
Arrangements have also beer
made to tfnAsp6ft the crop with
more dispatch than any other sea
son and there will be very little silo
ing this year.

the plant was inconvenienced by
both quality and quantity. The i'm
mense size OF the we'll is necessitatet
by the fact that the plant requires {
sixteen inch stream day and might
during the operating season.
There are not so many Japs In the
district as usual, as much Of the
acreage is in five and ten acre tracts
which in many instances have beer
cared for by the grower himself.

RABID CANNES
SPREAD TERROR
Three More Dogs Show Symp.
toms of Rabies; Two Per-
sons Were Bitten.

After the mad dog scare last week
many were skeptical Of the reality Of
! the CANNES malady and it was not
until DR.. FL. B. King received the fol-
lowing letter that the alarm became
general:
Harrisburg, Pa, March 49, 1910.
DR.. II. b. King, ReynOldsville. Pa.
Dear Sir: On March l4th we received at our
laboratory the head OF a dog from a suspected
case of rabies. The brain contained In this
head was submitted to AN examination and
changes such as are seen In rabies were OBJ
served. We beg TO advise you that we are
this day asking DR.. +. f. Hoffman, OF Brook
Vile to investigate this matter for the State
Livestock Sanitary Board and place In quar-
antine all animals that were known to have
been bitten or In any way exposed to infec-
tion with rabies In connection with this case.
s. III. Gilliland, State Veterinarian.
The State Department OF Health was
notified Immediately and 1t acted with
promptness and decision. DR.. r. h.
Hoffman arrived Friday morning and
placed all dogs under quarantine for a
period of one hundred days. Every
dog known to have been bitten was
killed, among them several very val
liable blooded animals.
Austin Shannon, son of John Shan
non, one of the victims of the mad dog,
was hurried to the Pasteur Institute
of Mercy Hospital In Pittsburgh Satur
day and will undergo three weeks
course of treatment. His father ac-
companied him, but returned Monday
reporting the boy doing we'll.
Clarence Patterson was bitten in the
calf Of the right leg by small dog
belonging to H. T. Peters Monday
morning. The dog showed no signs of
being mad, but as punishment for the
act MIR. Peters had the canine des-
patched Monday afternoon.
Monday evening dog belonging to
Joseph McKernan in West Reynolds
vile became rabid and in attempting
to kill it, James McKernan was bitten
in the right hand. The wound was
promptly cauterized aud whether the
boy will be sent to the Pasteur insti.
tute will depend on later developments.
Both OF Mr.. McKernan's dogs were
killed at once.
Among the dogs shot the past week
was a valuable bull dog belonging to
Fl. Alex Stoke. Another highly priced
bird dog belonging to Francis McDon-
aid was shot yesterday by George Nc
fered thirty dollars for his dog less than
month ago and refused 1t.
The mad dog scare is becoming q
serious matter and those having dogs
under quarantine-and all others as
well-should assist to the utmost in
preventing further developments by
closely confiuing dogs for at least
three months. 1t requires from 10
to 100 days time for rabies to develop.
1t would be we'll II every dog In town
even suspected OF being bitten was shot
at once The life OF dog is Of little
consequence alongside the life Of
children who may later be attacked.

ment reached for the ceding OF five

carrying out OF the industrial plans of
this company
Saturday cards were received in
Reynoldsville announcing the dissolu-
tion OF the firm OF Sachs & Hirshfield,
prominent attorneys of Pittsburgh with
offices I'M the Frick building. Mr..
Hirshfield aoandons large and lucra-
tive law practice in order to devote his
whole time and energy to the interests
of the Baw Collapsible Steel Centering
Company. 1t was Mr.. Hirshfield who
conducted the negotiations in behalf of
the Blaw company during the CORES
poDdence preceding the purchase and
was the first member of the company to
favor locating here, for which reason
the people Of Reynoldsville have an
especially warm regard for him.
AS the plans Of the company gradual
ly unfold 1t is becoming more than eyer
apparent that the location OF the Blsw
company in Reypoldsville was In every
respect the greatest event In the indus
trial history Of the town. What has
been announced is but small part Of
the tentative plans for the future.

Business Men Getting Together.

A representative of the National
Rating League Is In Reynoldsville
organizing the work In this locality.
1t is the business OF the league to
supply the business men with guide
to be used In extending credit to their
customers. For instance II party has
failed to settle his account with any
of his creditors, this fact will be made
known In rating report published at
frequent intervals by the league. BY
referring to this book each merchant
can find the names of those who refuse
to pay their debts and can deny credit
to such. Every. merchant or business
man who is member OF the league
lists his dead accounts with the con-
cern, which, after giving the creditor
due notice to settle the account, and
upon his failure to do so. lists the
names in their book and they remain
there until the account is settled. Thus
debtors are rated all over the United
States and wherever they go the book
issued by the rating league will tell
whether or not they are deserving Of
credit.

Bob's' Lecture
The Tennesseeans Address Was
a Masterpiece of Diction.

The lecture of Senator Robert L.
Taylor In Assembly hall Saturday even
ing was masterpiece Of rhetoric and
dictiOn, an idyll Of the southland that
transported d his hearers from the hu bub
of modern commercial warfare to a
misty mid-region of fancy anL content
ment. Taylor has no superior In pat
form eloquence, his we'll modulated
tones penetrated to every part Of the
hall, and while there were few out
bursts of enthusiasm, there was many
genial smile and laugh at his mellow
and kindly humOr. A red-blOOded
youth might wonder at his warning
note to young men to keep out OF
politics." but Senator Bob" has been
in that game for thirty years or more,
never missing a chance to run for office,
and surely ought to know. Aside from
few brief passages, the lecture had
little to do with practical life, seeming
more like a chapter from another
Dream Life" in which the shades of
southern characters foated before an
audience lulled by the music OF Taylor's
gentle tones.
This is the last of the five numbers
OF the public school lecture course. AS
whole the numbers were selected
more with a desire to please the
popular taste than the personal prefer
ences of those who arranged the course.
In this way 1t was singularly success
full. But there are few who cannot
repress wish that it had included a
few men live and virile enough to stir
up the people in Tillmanesque style.
We have an idea that the uay of the
stereotyped lecture, no matter how
gracefully delivered and Il sthetically
correct, is past.
