VICTORY OR DEFEAT.

The outcome of the dual conven-
tions in Chicago this week will spell
victory or defeat for the republican
party. Unless the two divisions Of
the old party can meet upon COM
mon ground the election of Wilson as
president again is undoubtedly as
sured. Every delegate at Chicago
realizes this. II seems certain, there
fore. that political suicide will not
again be attempted as 1t was four
years ago, and that the obvious thing
will be done-each branch Of the
party will give and take, as 1t must,
and candidate that all can support
will be named. There is no doubt
about the temper Of the people OF
the west--they believe that Hughes
is the man, but should It be Roosevelt
they will be behind the rough rider.
There is an enthusiasm among the
rank and file Of the republicans that
viii carry the party to success next
November, and the party leaders will
surely trim their sails to catch this
breeze.

se.s. They want to encourage beet

beets. They want to encourage beet
growing.
My cattle this spring are coming
three-year-olds. We find 1t pays bet
ter to handle this age stuff than to try
to make baby beef with pulp. Our
district Is about one hundred miles
square. About October Is they be-
gin digging the beets and few days
later the sugar factories begin chop
ping and the pulp supply is ready for
the feeder. The farmers already
have their feeders started on the beet
tops and crowns in the feld and pulp
feeding begins about November /.
I'VE pay seveny-five cents q ton
for pulp at the mill. At the start I
feed . steer 125 pounds Of the pulp
into which is mixed Ave pounds Of
syrup and twenty pounds Of alfalfa
hay q day. At the end Of the feeding
period steer is eating about eighty
pounds Of pulp day. The syrup costs
$40 ton at the mill. l grow the
alfalfa. No other feed is given. 1t
costs me thirteen cents day to feed
a steer.
MY steers started at s07 pounds
and after $50 days went over the
scales In the Kansas City stock yards
at 1896. that is the pulp fed steers
did. The twenty corn fed steers l had
averaged 1860 pounds.
Usually we plow up alfalfa to
put in potatoes. Our best beets are
on potato land, so beets follow pota-
toes, then wheat and back into alfal-
ia. Beets are sold according to sugar
content, but they never bring less
than IS ton. The average is seven
teen to eighteen tons to the acre. We
contract with families OF Russian
laborers for the handwork on beets
at $50 an acre"

ANALYSIS Of BIG
SEA ENGAGEMENT
ny ]. w. T. Mason.

|, New York. June a. Results OF tho
Skagerak naval battle will add new
prestige 10 the growing record OF
Germany's young navy. II viii have
IA stimulating moral effect upon the
Germans and must depress the Brit
ish nation because OF the large dis
parity In losses.
But the major purpose OF the op-
posing naviee In the present war In
20 keep trade routes open for friend
iy merchantmen and 10 ciose them 10
enemy merchantmen.
The success Of the German feet In
the Skagerak will not open German
ports TO the trade OF the world. Not
a pound OF meat nor q barrel Of -four
will enter Germany because OF the
Skagerak Victory, and. for this rea-
son. the military effect OF the Ger
man success can not possess major
Importance.
The presence OF incomplete details
suggest that the British cruiser
squadron was led into German
trap, Unless the battle was an aoci-
dental meeting Of the opposing
forces, which Is not probable. Il
seems likely that n new policy Of OBJ
servation close 10 German waters was
being put into operation by the Eng
lish admiralty. After the warship
raid on the British east coast last
April II was announced that new die-
positions OF the British feet we're be-
Ing made to prevent such adventures
by the Germans In the future,
The British cruiser squadron in
the Skagerak may have been acting
under this new policy. II this In
terpretatIon be correct. then the Ger
mans saw their opportunity. The
Skagerak Is so near German home
waters as TO permit the German war
ships to use It for a surprise appear
ance.
In maneuver such as this. tho
British cruisers could be caught by
n superior force and would DO large
ly at the enemy's mercy until the ar
rival of rescuIng dreadnaughts. which
would restore superiority to the Brit
ish feet This may well be what
occurred.

BRITISH PREPAREDNESS.

The result OF the great naval battle
in the North Sea proves anew that
preparedness in the matter OF arma-
ment and munitions Of war is not
complete preparedness. British dol
lars were able to build navy that
surpasses all other navies Of the
world, and apparently thoroughly
eflcient when It comes to keeping the
ports Of England open to commerce
and to closing the German sources
OF supply from the outside. But
when It comes down to the real test
Of battle. ship against ship, British
judgment IN keeping her feet at
home is vindicated. The North sea
battle is an evidence Of the insufi-
cheney Of the English war spirit. With
the best equipment that modern
science can supply. the Britons were
still caught in . condition OF unpre-
paredness. They were not ready to
meet the enemy. and no credit can be
given them because the Germans put
back to port when the "grand feet
appeared. OF course they did. That
was part Of the plan Of German pre-
paredness. The damage had been
wrought. and British spirit had been
given crushing blow. The morale
Of the German lighting machine wa.
likewise given another boost. . boos,
that will mean more than shells In
tearing a way thronghto verdun.

STORY OF A BEET FARMER.

Oregon beet farmers are just now
learning the way. And they learn
from experience Of others in the beet
farming industry that the beet is not
all there Is TO IT, The Kansas City
Star Of few days ago told Of the
sale OF shipment OF steers in that
market that set a new record. In
cidentally the story is more the story
OF beets than of steers. for they were
raised by beet farmer. Here are
some OF the things that that farmer,
@. v. Owens. of Greeley, Colorado.
told the Star about his farming OPP
erations:
Il grow fifty to sixty acres OF sugar
beets that yield about twenty tons to

PROGRAM WOULD
 PLACE U. g. NAVY
 IN SECOND PLACE
lspecIal Corrospondenee-l


 WASHINGTON, May IA pro gram to put the American navy in second place within three years and fleet built upon a definite, we'll balanced plan designed to produce and maintain a fighting naval force of a size to meet almost any emer- gency. real preparedness program will be offered to the country within a short time.
 It will have the approval of Admiral Dewey and the naval general board The board. of which Admiral Dewey is president. has been working on the plan for the last ten days
 Representative Thomas 4. Butler ranking Republican member of the House naval affairs committee, de- cided after conference with his as- soclates that a fiye-year building pro. gram was too slow. as even at the end of that time the United States navy probably would be third or 9 poor fourth among the fleets of the world
 Butler Is Quaker
 After having reached this decis- ion. Butler conferred with Secretary Daniels. who agreed to ask the gem eral board to supply Butler with the information to be presented to Con gress. It was explained Co Secre- tary Daniels that 1t was the wish of the group of men desiring to see the United States in second place within three years to promote such scheme without any political considerations.
 Every effort will be made after the report is presented to Congress to enlist the aid of Congressman of all parties. Representative But Ter is non-partisan in his effort.
 The strangest part of the move Is that it originated with Butler, who is Q Quaker, and at no time has advocated greatly increased arm ament. Developments in the Orient, such as the building by Japanese of four new cruisers just authorized have convinced Butler that the safety of the nation demands Q big navy
 Questions Asked
 The report being compiled by tho general board will answer these questions:
 What is the fighting force of the nations of the world7
 Where does the United States navy standl
 What will it cost to place tho Unit ed States navy in second place?
 Can this be done in three years2
 What is needed to balance up the present navy?
 What should be the complement to Q dreadnaught in the number of de- stroyers, scout cruisers and submar- ines and aircraft?
 Can the government and private yards build all the vessels necessary to place the United States In second place in three years?
 It is desirable to give the country such a strong fleet?
