VALLEY BEET PROSPECTS

Unless there is q decided
change of heart this valley will
produce but few sugar beets this
year, the growers generally de-
Gliding that the prices offered by
the various sugar companies are
so low that same cannot be grown
at q profit.
At a meeting of the Otero
County Beet Growers associa-
ton. held last week.. it was de-
cided that unless the sugar fac
tories raised the price in the
neighborhood of 81 per ton, that
all farmers who had heretofore
grown beets should plant their
lands to wheat. Many meetings
have been held throughout the
valley and the growers generally
seem to believe that the price
offered is too low.
The officials of the American
Beet Sugar company deny the
charge that the profits in the
sugar factories are as high as
people have been lead to believe.
claiming that if such was the case
that they would no doubt have
run the factories at Lamar and
Las Animas last year.
The problem will no doubt be
settled in the course Of q month.

and How we teach, Mrs. T. B. Cahall,
F'rederica.
Our hrst aim is to get the scholars
to Sunday School. In teaching either
adults or beginners we need prepara-
ton Of the lesson. The five points
needed in teaching are: First, our
aim in the lesson; we should have
some definite point to emphasize;
second we should have a story for
the class; it is always good to have
some missionary story; third, we
should have something to compare the
lesson story with so as to impress the
minds of children more; fourth, we
should develop the children by let
ting them tell you something, instead
of you telling them it all. The child
rem should hold some place in the
Sunday School, They should feel that
they were part of the class. Fifth. |
we should have a good contact The |
teachers should learn how to make |
the children love them. Children re-
quire very different treatment at diff
ferent ages. The teachers should love
the truth and love to study his or her
bible. Without the bible the teacher
cannot do her best. The teacher
should understand her scholar so as
% know how to teach each individual
)ne of the class. We should not get
discouraged and give but must re-
member that God is back of US and Il
will help us, no matter who is against
ls. If we do not have the spirit of

School is for adults as well as for tn,
children. The great mistake of tn,
past is that the men and women hav,
not been made to think that the Sun
day School needs them and that they
need it. We should make them real
ize that it is just as comfortable in
church as at home; we should also
make them feel that you have a per-
sonal interest in them.
We then had report of the Resolu-
ton Committee. Part of the resolu-
| tiOns were:
Resolved, That we urge every
school in the county to become an
evergreen school, that the convention
should be recorded for the anti-SalOon
League, against the use of all forms
of tobacco and in favor of the work
of the w. C. T. U.

citation and kindness and hospitality

ed dinner to us.
3:35-The Juniors.
(a) characteristics of Juniors.
Mrs. Z. T. Hopewell. Dover
In the junior age the child should
be influenced for good for they re-
celVe Impressions then that they keep
in after life. They get their ideas
from the mother or teacher and there |
fore we should be more careful about |
the ideas we give them. In this age |
they are selfish and should be care |
fully taught to outgrow that. They |
should be taught and impressed early |
on lines of religion. The parents
should understand the child more. The /
child should not be taught to obey
because they fear their parents, but
because they love them and therefore
want to obey.
We have to look at girls and boys
n this age as a dressmaker does her
customers. She fits the pattern to the
,eople instead of fitting the people to
he pattern.
