MILL WILL BEGIN
SLICINC NEXT WEEK

Five thousand tons of sugar beets
are required to fill the sheds at the
local factory and it is believed by
the management that by next We'd
nesday this amount will have been
delivered and with this quantity
ahead of the succeeding daily de-
liveries, the mill will become the
scene of the most pronounced
activity.
Already the sheds are about half
filled and the run of beets is most
satisfactory to President Mclean
who said: "The beets that we are
receiving are the equal of those in
any country, and test higher than
those of northern Colorado" Just
then Factory employe announced
the arrival of a splendid load of
beets grown near Monte Vista on
ground which has produced beets
three successive years-and tested
Is to l9A per cent.
Some beets, truly!
"As you see, continued Mr.. Nc
Lean, pointing to the beets in the
various chutes, they certainly can
raise beets in the Valley, and the
only question now is, will they?"
This newspaper predicts that the
farmers not only will grow beets,
but will grow them in vast quanti-
ties, and with a fair and salts
factory profit
Fourteen million dollars is the
amount of money estimated as that
to be paid to farmers of Colorado
this season for beets- several hand
fuls OF loose change. This indi-
Gates that the beet industry is
something more than fad or
fancy, and as the Valley farmers
come to realize the importance of
root cultivation for the benefit OF
their lands, aside from the pecun-
iary gain from the intelligent grow
ing of these crops, a decided ad-
vance in farm values will result.

MONTE WINS ATT FOOTBALL

The local high school Eleven
defeated the Creede football team
last Saturday at the ball park.
Creede gained two touch downs,
making the score 81 to IL.
Monte Vista had slight advan.
tage in weight and made a good
showing considering the lack of
practice and number of men in the
lineup who were without football
experience.
Very little punting was done by
either side and in straight football
and forward passes, Monte showed
superiority.
DIR. Moore's second lecture on
his trip abroad was given Tuesday
night and proved very instructive
and interesting. His hearers were
surprised to learn that the Roman
empire, at the height of its glory,

RADIO. The pride of ancient Rome
consisted largely of its public
buildings which were costly from
a labor standpoint, but were pig
mics as compared with the modern
sky-scrapers in the great cities of
civilization today.

STUDYING AGRICULTURE
Rural Eighth Graders Now
Studying Important Subject.

Beginning with the current month
every rural eighth grader in Michigan
is studying agriculture. This impOr-
taUt study became a part OF the per-
scribed course Of study this year and
examinations In it will be conducted
in May along with the other subjects
Textbooks have been p ruvided and in
addition to these the Department of
Public Instruction has available for
distribution an excellent bulletin con-
crening the subject prepared by Prof.
W. ii. French of the M. A. T.. The
Michigan Agricultural College and the
Department Of Agricuitu re at Wash
ingtOn, ID. q. stand ready to send to
teachers invaluable ains for the teach
ing Of this new subject. Naturally
the work finds the teacher unprepared
but progressive farmers throughout
the state are showing disposition to
make this work efficient so that IL
may be expected that even the first
experimental year will be productive
OF good.
The intrOd uction Of agriculture in
TO the course OF study by Snperinteud-
ent Of Public Instruction Luther L.
Wright is the first step towards rural
izing the county schools. In order to
make the work thoroughly successful
certain equipment seems essential
So earnest is Mr. Wright In his feeling
that agriculture should be the most
live subject Ia the county school tina L
he makes the statement that IL a
board from a question OF expense
really had TO make choice between
a dictionary aud Babcock tester,
they ought To purchase mix tester.
AS this important piece OF farm
equipment, however costs not more
than ten dollars there is little reason
why every school district should not
have one.
The corn clubs which have been
organized In various parts OF the
state have been decided aid al
ready to the study of agriculture aud
the intense interest Of the boys and
girls in these clubs aud what they
have produced show that the added
subject TO the rural school curriculum
Is not unwelcome SO far as the stu
dents are concerned Cooperation ~
parents and progressive farmers will
do great deal toward making this
work effective.

MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Leadership. not Equipment, In
Rural Y. Nj. {. A. Work.

| The growth or The work or the
Young Mems Christian Association in
North America has been phenomenal.
When first organized on this continent
the city type Of work was the only one
known. Since that time the follow
ing branches have been added-rail-
road, army, navy. student and rural.
With the exception OF The latter all
have placed strong emphasis on build
ings and equipment rather than on
personality So TO the Rural Y. M.
q. A. belongs the credit for demon
strating that right leadership. more
than buildings and equipment, makes
for better manhood.
| Natui ally then, discussion Of the
Rural Y M. G. A. would lead prmar-
ily TO a discussion OF the problem OF
leadership; The discovery, enlistment
and training OF which is the impOr-
tant work OF the employed officer.
This plan for supplying the necessary
leadership from amongst the men OF
|
in contact with personalities that in-
spire but it leaves the county wealth.
er in the ways of leadership than IL
ever has been before
1t goes without saying that the
ideal leader would be man who
placed proper emphasis on spiritual
developement, was we'll educated and
a splendid athlete. However, no
county is over Iun with the ideal in
leadership SO we take particular int
crest in securing the Servi ces OF the
average, An average leader should
possess some Of the following qualiti-
cations and the capacity for develop
ing those not possessed at the legin-
ing; Christian character, dependable
ity, tactfulness, straightforwardness,
tirmness, punctualitv and the ability
to appreciate humor The two quail
itications which are primary, and
necessary at the out start TO insure
success are Christian character and
dcpendability. The former is iDdes-
pensa ,ie and the latter il more tos<be
desired than any Of the others.
After leader has been secured for
group Of boys and girls and the
WORK properly organized. he, and not
the county secretary, is responsible
for lie success Of the work in that
group. Ii is the leaders duty to be
present at all meetings Of the group
and to direct all OF the group activi-
ties. No work shall be taken up by a
group unless it is sanctioned bv the
leader aud the county committee re-
serves the right to veto any action
the may have been approved by both
the group and the leader.
Leaders conferences held at stated
Intervals tend to increase the etficien-
cy of the group leaders. During these
meetins the members OF the state
force lend their assistance in giving
information that Will be OF help in
developing the work Of the groups
and the opportunity these meetings
afford for the interchange Of ideas on
the part of the group leaders is very
important.
In the last analysis the amount Of
work that can be done and the sue
cess Of the work undertaken is depen-
dent upon the caliber Of the volun-
teer leadership. To the volunteer
leader belongs the credit for things
accomplished and the JOY of being
part Of a plan which is having an
important effect on the young life of
the county.

APPEAL FOR INDIANS
MADE BY VALENTINE
Urges New Laws to Protect
Rights and Health.

WashinStOn.-A strong argument for
the improvement and relief of the In
dian charges OF the government is
made ip the annual report of the COM
missioner of Indian affairs to the sec
rotary Of the interior for the year 1912
just made public.
The report is made by Robert G. Val
entine. who recently resigned the office
of commissioner. la it Il plea is made
for leeisla ton along the lines selected
by President Taft. especially for larger
appropriations with which TO improve
the health OF and reduce the almost APP
palling death rate among the Indians
A feature of the report is Il descrip-
ton of the extensive property of The
Indians, which constitutes one of the
greatest estates ever held in trust by
any OrganiZa tiOn or government In

minerals and funds held in tribal or in
dividual ownership. the principal of
the Indians amounts to approximately
three quarters Of billion dollars, the
interest and rentals on which amount
to approximately $40 100000.
The commissioner declares that edu-
cational opportunities must be taken
to Indian children who are not yet in
school. Industrial impulse and OPP
portunity must I've given to those who
do not now value their possessions.
They must have effective protection in
their property and personal rights,

tion. Thousands Of Indian families
must be provided with sanitary homes

no right to this title. Some. but not
all. have figured in the unofficial lists.
and should any take exception to the
omission of their names the burden of
proof will rest upon them to demon.
strate their right to the title.
SO carefully has the committee work
ed that it is not expected that tbs
claims of unrecogniZed persons will he
seriously contested.
As Il matter of experience 1t has been
found that the bogus baronets lie very
low whenever it comes to the question
of pressing their claims Too closely.
