Reminiscent of the days OF 1898
when Keobuk was sending her young

station Sunday afternoon when fifty
Greeks started for the land of Achls
les and Xenophon to light the Turks.
The men were loaded into coacn

At the station were about thousand
people. only minor traction OF whom
Americans gathered to wish them
God-speed.
AS the train slowly started bug
Ter blew Greek army strain that
sounded much like officers call in the
United States army, and there began
cheer and waving Of handker-
chiefs that showed more enthusiasm
than was developed throughout the
late political campaign. The Amer.
cans cheered as loudly as anybody
and the American girls all waved
hundreds of handkerchiefs. From
the coach windows came rather strio
ent yells that seemed to mean bust
ness rather than mere enthusiasm.
The men pay their own expenses L

patriotism Of the Greeks and Bulgar
fans especially Is markedly shown BY
their eagerness to make the lone

Their beets will be delivered by team

cents ton more. Mr.. Sweet said
that accurate bookkeeping showed
that the cost c. that field would run
somewhere around $40 an acre. That
is higher than the average because
more money was spent in cultivation
and fertilizing. But even then the
field promises to pay profit Of s45
to $48 an acre."
After six years work in Iowa, Cen
eral Manager G. B. Rosevear OF the
Iowa Sugar company is ready to say
that Iowa can grow sugar beets sue
cessfully with any state IN the coun-
try. In 1911, an unusually dry year,
the Iowa fields averaged s.S2 tons
per acre; this year they will average
practically IL tons. Mi.higan's aver
age for several years is less than s
tons, California's 1912 tons, Colorado
ll.24 tons. Iowa's beets will yield
about Is per cent sugar this season;
the very choicest German and Cali
fornia beets test about Is or 10 per
cent this year. Iowa's beets are
gradually increasing in sugar content
with better methods Of cultivation.
In the beginning there were many
failures, but the men who found their
soil and their dispositions adapted to
the crop have succeeded regularly.
Some Of them have been growing
beets six years and expect to keep at
It. In the beginning the average
acreage per farmer was only 3 now

It is about % acres, indicating that
the crop pays the men who will make
the effort to grow it right.

the United States bureau Of sells are
cooperating In survey Of Bremen

things what soils are best suited tic

KEoKUK, THE TERMINUS
City Premises TO Become objective
Point Of 4 Network Of Illinois

Lines.

Keokuk promises to become the
terminus of a network OF interurbans
running in Illinois and Iowa If some
of the many propositions being pro
NOTED are carried through There Is
little doubt but that the interurban Is
coming thing in this part of the
country.
The rapid development OF the troll
ley system which covers eastern Illi-
nois, Indiana and Ohio has been SO
astonishing, even when competing
with steam roads, that new roads are
continually being built. No better
field is offered than the rich farming
country of western Illinois and south
ern Iowa with the numerous fast
growing towns and cities.
The latest project is an interurban
road connecting Iowa City, Fort Mad
ison and Keokuk. Mr.. Pleasant II

field.
"A glance a. the railroad map OF
iowa will show that no more open
field for new line exists than from
Washington south to Fort Madison
and Keokuk. Eliminating the passen
ger, mall and express business as
being too small to consider, 1t can
easily be shown that the amount oil
freight inbound to Mt. Pleasant alone
would be large.
THE hospital averages three cars
per day the year around, and the vast
amount of coal that is shipped into
this town would yield large revenue
to an inter,tban.

"rhe proposition would be, OF
course. to run the interurban down
from Warrington by the way OF Olds
Swedesburg, into Mt. Pleasant, swing
Ing out into the asylum grounds and
then on south touching Salem and
other desirable towns on the way to
Keokuk, where electricity for motive
power would be plenty and cheap.
The business men of this city
could guarantee a vast amount OF
traffic to an interurban and we feel
that the time has come for the busi-
ness MEN of this city to look this
question right in the face. If the pro.
posed line from Iowa City reaches
Washington and is turned off in the
direction of Ottumwa or Fairfield, II
might we'll delay its entrance into this
city for many years. There is little
or no chance for steam road from
the north; there is strong chance
fer an interurban.
We suggest that those who are In
the habit of looking after thes.
things get busy. An up to date, in
terurban from the north and running
south would be the biggest thing thai
could happen to this city,
