The Early Habits Of seets

Within fortnight II will be time to
begin seeding sugar beets. Late plant
ed beets sometimes look greener and
have larger and more luxurious tops
during the summer months, but the
actual tonnage as n rule. is greater from
the earlier paintings. Cool weather
when the beets are coming up causes
them to develop small compact leaves
but the greater supply of moisture in
the soil helps them to develop larger
roots. The seeder should be set for
twenty inch rows. The nut made by
the seeder and into which the seed
is dropped is comparatively narrow so
that large seeder balls will not reach
clear to the bottom.
Care must be taken to run the seed
er so that they will be placed deep
enough. The depth OF planting will
depend on the soil conditions particu-
larly as to its capacity to retain
moisture. The moisture to terminate
the seed must come from below. The
finer the soil. the better is the proper
moisture content maintained. AS ger
mination depends on moisture its
amount is directly dependent on the
fineness OF the soil The seed must
be put into moist soil. covered from
one-half to two inches and from fif
teen to twenty pounds should be sowed
to the acre.
From the time the seed ball is
planted and gathers the necessary
moisture to burst its walls. until the
sprout reaches the surface the growth
Is made entirely on the nourishment
stored in the seed. Not until the coty-
Iedens or seed leaves are unfolded
above ground does the plant draw on
the soil for support The rootlet ap-
pears from the seed ball first and
grows downward at the rate OF half an
inch a day and often to considerable
depth. Different rootlets grow to diff.
ferent depths during this period de-
pending on the amount of food stored
the longer is the possible growing per
iod and the deeper the root will
reach.
For average conditions the roots 20
down three to three and one-half inch
es. The stalk does not start until four
days after the root tip shows. But II
makes rapid growth in order to reach
the surface quickly and begin to pro
vide the young plantlet with supply
OF food independent OF that stored in
the seed and Il is necessary that this
be accomplished quickly for the stored
food will last but few days at the
outside. The deeper the seed is plant
ed the longer will he the period con-
sumed in reaching the surface and the
greater the drain on the seed reserves.
After the sixth day from the time
the first tip appears growth will cease
and II the Seeding has not reached
the surface in that time Il is IN danger
of dying OF starvation or suffocation.
AS has already been shown the prep.
aration and character OF the soil plays
an important part in this respect and

THINKS NAVAL
POLICY WRONG
If $4,000 Submarines De-
troy $7,500,000 Boats We
Should Change.

indianapolis, Ind, June 30.-In ad-
dressing the Indiana Spanish War
veterans here yesterday, Vice Presi-
dent Thomas r. Marshall asked if the
lessons OF the European war were not
OF sufficient value to the United States
for this country to adopt different
naval policy. He said II the great Eu-
ropean conflict was demonstrating
that $4,000 submarine could des-
troy a $7.500,000 superdreadnought
should the peoples money be further
expended for superdreadnoughts.
Navy Best 1t Has Been.
Mr.. Marshall said that the navy of
the United States at the present time
is in the highest degree of efficiency
In the history of the country.
The vice president made an appeal
for the coming of the time when we
will submit all international problems
to courts Of justice, vested with pow
ers to enforce their DEGREES" He de-
clared that this country had no right
to say to any European nation what
type OF government 1t should use.
"Unsuuuied national honor unsul-
lied courts and a deeper interest In
political AFFAIRS" would result in bet
tering of our own national existence,
he said.

President Wilson at Cornish, N. H..

THE PENNYwIsE POLICY.

The dispatches say that Premier As
quith Of Great Britain has closed his
palatial home for the purpose of Civ
ing practical and moral support to
the policy of conserving the resources
of the country in order to meet the
enormous drain caused by the war.
This will direct attention afresh to the
old question Of how far such econo-
mics work for the general good. and
how nearly, therefore. they tend to
achieve the purpose aimed at.
In the maintenance of the pgemier's
home there have doubtless been re-
quired many servants, in and out Of
doors. and the work OF providing food,

A NATTER OF TASTE.

Visitors to the scene OF the five or
six murders In the western part of the
county have been busy carrying off
portions Of the unearthed skeletons
until these fragments have been dis
tributed over q wide area. The pus-
pose for which these bits of bono are
collected Is that they be preserved as
curios. Just why anyone should wish
to preserve such gruesome relics is
one of the unsolved mysteries.
The incident is not at all peculiar,
for the custom has in all times been
widely prevalent Of collecting and pre-
serving relics of the horrible and
gruesome Pieces of the ropes with
which notorious criminals have been
hanged have been popular as relics.
Splinters Of wood from a gallows have
been treasured. One family preserves
with religious care the spoon with
which a condemned murderer ate his
last breakfast. Gloves, shoes and
handbags made of human hide have
been considered quite nifty things to
have about.
Akin to this propensity is the prac-
tice OF preserving extracted teeth.
Many dentists habitually ask their pa
tients II they wish Ito keep the tooth"
In good many cases the patient will
answer that the tooth has given
trouble enough already. and that it is
no longer desired: but very large
number will save these renniodoro ~
past suffering. pack them away care
fully In cotton to be stored away for
years. and occasionally exhibited to
callers, for what purpose heaven only
knows
The practice Of preserving extracted
teeth and amputated bits OF anatomy
has been, and doubtless still is fol-
lowed, for another purpose which in
| dicates curious mixture Of religion
and superstition. In such cases these
fragments are preserved not as curios,
but In order that they may, at the
proper time. be buried. decently and
| reverently. with the bodies of their
former possessors. In such cases there
is the desire that the entire body shall

STILL ANOTHER REVOLUTION.

General Huerta, it appears, has been
planning still another Mexican revo.
tuition. and he has got himself arrest
ed. There are laws in this country
against organizing revolutionary
movements in the United States. How
ever. the law on the subject is neces
sarily of such character that there
must be many cases in which 1t is DIFF
ticult to tell whether there has been
violation or not. Every Mexican rev.
olutionary party has had its agents
in this country. and these agents have
made no secret Of their occupation
They have made headquarters in east
ern cities, usually in New York, some
times in Washington, and their work
has been chiefly to raise funds to in
fluence American sentiment. Aside
from this, a good many Of them have
been engaged in the fitting out Of
armed expeditions. but this part Of the
work has been done secretly. for 9TH
erwise there would have been trouble
with the authorities.
The facts In the Huerta case have
not been published in detail. If Huer-
ia was merely about to leave this
country for Mexico, it does not appear
clear that our authorities have any
right to stop him. even though his
purpose is to stir up more Mexican
trouble. If he was leaving at the head
Of an armed expedition which had
been recruited on American soil, that
would be a different matter.
In the present state of affairs IN
Mexico it does not appear that an
other revolution. more or less, would
make much difference

THE TITLES OF PRESIDENTS.

In occasional English newspapers
which find there way to this Office
there is noticed the practice Of refer
ring to the president Of the United
States as "Dr" Wilson. II that term
were used in an American newspaper
one would expect to find 1t in an arti-
Gle which spoke disparagingly Of the
president. just as. during the national
campaign. few persons exhibited
their smallness of mind by referring
contemptuously to the same individ-
ual as Doctor" and Professor"
These very honorable terms were used
for dishonorable purpose.
The English use of the term is Diff
ferent Articles in which it is used
speak in terms Of the highest appre-
citation OF the presidents character
and ability, and the title which pre-
cedes his name is used as a mark of
respect, and not Of derogation. In
: England 1t is customary for eminent
persons to wear titles. If one OF them
escapes the peerage, it is a very SIM
pie matter at least to prefix a "Sir"
to his name. and this serves to set
him a little apart from the rabble.
OF course this is not by any means
an invariable rule. There was Glad
