better. For all the bad morning,
there was good attendance on
last Sunday, but We hope for g
much larger one ON next Sunday.
Your place is unoeeapied because
no one else can fill it but YOU.
If you expect to fill your desir-
ed place in the next world, you
better begin filling it properly
and promptly IN this.

continuation of the general
theme for the past few weeks on
Beginnings" Come out and
and worship God and hear the
sermon on this theme.
On next Sunday evening, the
weather permitting, there will De

cured in town. This is a humor.

Whirlwinds.

whirlwinds are great storms pro
duced by violent currents blowing
from contrary quarters and meeting
and striking upon each other, the E
effect being the creation OF circular
motion. Whirlwinds usually occur
after lengthy Gains which have been
accompanied by excessive heat, and
they generally indicate breakup
OF settled weather.

TORPEDOED OFF NAVAL BASE
BattIeship Torpedoed by German Sub

Hundred and One of Crew

London, Jan. 4.-The sinking of the
battleship Formidable by a German
submarine was described in detail for
the first time by survivors Of the dis
aster. .sa-~ .s,s,a,>.sE7
When she was torpedoed gale was
blowing-a storm which in itself was
terrifying. AS she settled above the
roar of the sea and the screeching of
the wind cries of the drowning
mingled with the shouted commands
of the officers. The whole scene was
lighted by rockets which streaked the
foggy dawn, while on deck and in the
rigging flares burned as signals of dis
trees.
Suddenly the great ship, which had
been listing heavily, heeled over to
starboard, then Strengthened and
plunged bow first The signal lights
flared up like something uncanny,
throwing out in bold relief the figures
of Capt. Arthur N. Loxley and his sig
nal boy, standing at salute, alone on
the bridge.
AS with a final culver the Formula
BILE dived beneath the surface, a
mighty last shrek of the ships
whistles split the air like the death
cry of wounded animal, and the
waters rushed in upon her.
Twenty Die in Small Boat.
For the survivors the sinking of the
ship was but the beginning of their
battle for life. A dramatic story Of
| q 20-hour struggle in the gale was told
by members CT the crew of 60 in a
! cutter from the Formidable which was
beached at Lymeregis at midnight.
/ Of the cutter crew of so which start
ed from the side of the Formidable 20
died of exhaustion and exposure be-
fore the boat was beached, and their
bodies were tossed overheard after
being stripped of clothing.
! On landing nine more were found to
! be dead of exhaustion. All were half
naked.
Six Hundred Are lest.
The captain and SIS of the officers
and crew were lost.
In the 45 minutes which elapsed be
fore the Formidable took her last
plunge the crew battled with the
waves in what seemed an almost hope
less task to launch the boats
One of the survivors tells the story
of their struggle:
THE cutter was stove in, and the
men stuffed their jumpers into the
hole to keep the water out. All the
oars were lost except five or SIX. Get
ting the cutter clear, the men Jumped
into the water and swan to the boats

| The captain told the men to hang on
but we lost sight of them in the dark
ness. We drifted about fer an hour

and finally attracted the attention OF a

Another survivor said one of the
boats slipped the davits and fell per
pendiculaTly. precipitating the crew
into the sea. She flied with water
and sank almost Immediately
The admiralty issued a supplement

number of those saved up to 201 out OF

BEET ACREAGE IN Weld

Western N,w.paper Union News Service
Greeley. Colo.-Weld county has the
largest acreage of sugar beets OF any
county in the United States and the
average yield is almost equal TO any
other county, according to reports al
the meeting OF the sugar men.
While the three factories in Welo
county do not grind as many beets as
some other factories. Weld county
raises rrore beets than are consumed
by the three factories here. Some Oh
the beets raised in this county are
sent to the Loveland, Brush. Sterling'

The three mills in Weld county VIII
grind this year 1880 acres OF beets'
diveded as follows: Greeley, 13,ooo'
Windsor. $4,000; Eaton, 16,a0O. IN
addition to this. there will be the pro-
duct from $4,000 acres grown In Weid
county sent to other factories outside
the county this year.
This is much the largest acreage OF
any one county in the United States
even including California and other
states where the amount per acre Is
somewhat larger. The average yielo
Of Weld county land for the past five
wears has been between 13 and IA
tons per acre, and indications are that
it will equal if not exceed that this
year.
Despite the cold weather, the beet
crop is not damaged here, even the
smallest beets with but two leaves not
being hurt. and very little repianting
will be necessary. What is to be re-
planted will be because of cut worms
and other causes foreign to the cold
weather, and prosperous year for
the beet farmer is predicted.
