EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G.. w. MEISNEST.)

The annual meeting last Friday and
Saturday was probably one of the best
meetings the association has ever had.
There were some elegant talks by the
speakers on topics of prime interest to
the teachers. Both Mr.. Sutherland
and Mr.. McCaskill gave talks that were
full of life and enthusiasm and gave us
something to think about.
The evening address by Mr.. Hall was
very good. The attendance was not as
good as it might have been, even many
teachers absenting themselves. His
topic was "The Playground of Life. !"
All teachers surely had profitable
two day outing and certainly got some
thing that ought at once make them
stronger in their school work. Mr..
Harper gave an interesting and inspir-
ing talk in his fatherly way;
Prof. Hall attacked modern day gov
eminent in the United States, declar-
ing that there was too much tendency
to legislate for special interests as
against the wellbeing of the public and
for social Justice. He said that the
country was a broader and far more Ii
beral citizenship that would do justice
not only to one man but to all.
1--WE are too prone to Judge our rep
resentatives in congress upon the basis
of the political jobs they secure for the
district they represent, the federal
buildings and other patronage plums,"
said Prof. Hall, who said that there
was too much politics in Washington
to insure the legislation for the peo-
Pile. In support of this statement he
cited the trading of votes in congress
and the senate for measures, some of
which he specified.
Touching upon child labor and capi-
tai and labor the speaker cited the
Oshkosh plant OF the Diamond Match
company as an example Of neglect OF
'jnterests" to safeguard and protect
employees and the public until forced
to act. He said that the average time
which an employe of the match factory
could hope to retain his health and
life was three years, the deadly effect
of the fumes undermining the health,
yet he said it was necessary to prose
cute the company to force it to improve
conditions.
Prof. Hall closed with an eloquent
plea for the uplifting Of man, broad
citizenship as the hope of the nation.
Mans character and morals are to be
judged by the ground upon which they
play the game of life. inclination and
habits are criterion said the speaker.
In speaking of municipal affairs the
speaker said there was TOO often the
tendency OF undertakings intended for
betterment which reached the people
who are not in real need Of help to the
neglect of those who might be benefit {.
ted by the right directing of the move.
ments. For instance, he said that in
! locating parks cities most frequently
selected the location in the fashionable
districts while the slums, where recrea-
tion parks would do the most good
were neglected.

none this year. The beet crop is
generally good all over the valley
and there Is no question in my
mind bnt what in short time this
will be one of the greatest sugar
beet sections of Colorado. This
means a greater demand and
higher value on the land which
will be improved by the cultiva-
tion of beets. Behind your factory
you now have a set of men who
know their business, have the
means and inclination and there is
no question but what they will
make this factory a success and in
time this will be only one of many
factories in the valley. These peo-
pie are entitled to and should be
given hearty support and assist
ance from everyone interested in
the valley. Rome was not built

Most of our lands lie in the

successfully grown in this valley
has been demonstrated beyond all

pertinent about it. 1t is just a
matter of preparing the ground
and sowing the seed in a proper
manner. There is no better crop

urged the growing of alfalfa in

and 30 on in other states.
The $500 increase in value of
Colorado beet growing land ap-
plies chiefly to the northern part
of the state; and with the proper
methods of farming applied to the
culture of sugar beets in the San
Luis valley, our land will increase
fully as much in value within five
years.
We have the opportunity right
here now to bring up our farms to
more than double their present
worth. We do not have to try to
induce capital to come into the
Valley and erect sugar factory;
we have one here now. The mar
ket is already established and we
do not have to worry about market
changes. We know what we can
get for our sugar beets just as
soon as we contract to grow them.
Conditions are all in our favor, and
it is the only staple crop in the
matter of market conditions, which
we have.
The successful growing of sugar
beets means small farms, increase
in population, crop rotation and
increase in yield per acre of all
other crops.
1t encourages stock raising, and
feeding on the farms, makes fertil-
izer, which in turn makes for better
farming.
1t is the only crop that gives
the farmer the advantage of the
assistance of practical experts in
soil cultivation, without cost.
A good illustration was in 1912.
When we sowed oats, the price
was $l.S3 per cwt., when We har-
vested, it was 90c to 81 90 per cwt.
Many crops failed to pay expenses.
AS soon as the farmers of tho
San Luis valley begin to give
sugar beet culture the proper care
and attention, they will soon learn
that no other industry will appeal
to them rs much AS the growing Of
sugar beets; rs it will add to tho
wealth of the community, and more
than double the value of their
property.

TOMMY HACKETT IS

Directors State Is
Reason.

QUINCY, H.. June 27.-Boss Tom
Hackett is no more, and it is now
Boss Nick Kahl.
Yesterday after the game with De-
catur had been completed, Hackett
was given his unconditional release,
by the local association, and Nick
Kahl will pilot the team in the future.
The association did not take the ac-
ton because Hackett was not able to
deliver the goods, or was not manag-
ing the team in the right way, but
their decision was the result of con-
ference wherein facts and figures were
introduced and 1t was made painfully
apparent that the club was losing
money. Coupled to this was the fact
that another catcher would have to
be secured, which would entail addi-
tional expense and as the club can.

ger, the only alternative was to re-
lease Hackett. However, IL the club
had pleased to sign another catcher
and retain Racket. it could not do so,
as 1T would have been violating the
player limit.
The association, in the first place,
desires 1t to be understood that Hack.
EFT is not being released because OF
any incompetency or disability to
manage the team properly but rather
for the reasons named above. He has
