INCREASING BEET ACREAGE.
Onacials Of the sugar company and
members Of the Commercial club
met in the club quarters Thursday
night to discuss ways and means Of
getting IS large an acreage planted
to beets the coming season as pos
sible. Manager Nibley stated that
the field men were already making
contracts for next season, and that a
most active campaign would be in
stituted at once. He reported much
success in getting beet growers Of the
present season to Increase acreage
where they had the proper soil and
irrigation. though impressed the ne
cessity Of getting largely increased
contracts to make up for those who
had failed to get water after having
signed up. He said that the capacity
Of the factory, TOO tons every "a
hours. made essential the supplying
Of enough beets for a profitable run
every season. and set the mark to-
ward which the people should aim at
not less than 1000 acres Of accepted
lands this season.
To aid the field men Of the factory
and assist in encouraging the plant
ing OF beets. committee was author
lied, the committee to consist OF
three members and represent the
citizens In cooperating with the COM
pany. The committee appointed con-
sists OF Geo. sabin. Sam Baker and
R. B. Miller. The organization of a
company OF local business men to
rent and plant acreage to beets was
discussed, and the committee will
look into this phase Of the subject.
The planting Of available tracts in
and near the city was especially de-
sired. and this company will give at
tention to this. The committee has
engaged Alex Hood, one of the sue
cessful beet growers Of the district,
TO list all available beet ground in
the vicinity. and he will commence
his work at once.
Every interest OF the valley has a
vital concern in an increased beet
acreage. The year has proved that
beets grown under proper conditions
are a wonderfully profitable crop, and
that through them prosperity can find
its way into all branches OF industry.
There is no doubling that the sugar
factory is the greatest developer that
has ever come into southern Oregon,
and every effort should be put fortJ
to food II with beets another year.

JUST PASSING BY.
(Gate CITY Herald.)

(Gatc City Heralu.)
Since your humble servant has had
time to mediate and to reflect and to
give you the results, many months
have gone by and the world has chang
ed from the pursuits of peace to the
pursuits of war and the things that
make for war. The loss of life has
been awful. The loss of property has
been great. There is yet stcry that
is to be told. 1t is the story of the
suffering of the widows and the
orphans. 1t is an appeal that
touches and will touch us all. We may
now lose sight of the real sorrow of
the war, in our partizanship for the
one side or the other, in our enchant-
ment or attraction by the bigncss of
the war, its great equipment and
the skill of the fighters and in the
panoramic view Of the immenSeness
of the scene.
Our attention is often drawn from
the realities of life, and the real facts
of life, by the dazzling players on
the stage of life. We look at the
panorama and we do not s,c the
real facts which make it up. We
simply take glimpse while we are
"Just Passing BY"
A speaker in our town, s,ncthing
over month ago, said in substance
"Our country has so far stcmmcd
the tide and we are still at peace
For my part | believe peace will
continue and that we can cxclaim
with the Prophet of old, How beau
tiful upon the mountain are tie feet
of him who bringeth glad tidings.
who publsheth peaccn And today
Notwithstanding the great tlamor
for war on the part of many people,
the nobler, the truer influence for
peace has prevailed and we are
still at peace.
To quote again the speaker refer
red to. If we would only realize that
we were created to b builders, and
not destroyers; builders of character,
builders of lives, of individuals, of
communities, of nations, and not de-
stroyers thereof, our vision and our
ideal of life and of the future would
be such as to perpetuate peace. The
tear of the widow would mean more
to us than the dollar of the foreign
investor, and the wall of the orphan
more than the boasted "honor cry"
of the adventurcr. There is more
ing. This is the lesson that our
IIcSlutIiJ IlSoC OHi a1Sa1No
are trying to teach the world. Hon
orable dealing among men an d ma
tions commands more respect than
n gatling gun. We ought to feel
proud that we ere at peace. and
while we are "Just Passing By" we
ought to be proud of an opportunity
to show by our lives that life is
worth living. Life is more than
mere existence. 1t is more than
the roarof cannon or the flash of
the sword. Life is given us to do
something good and to accomplish
something for ourselves and for our
fellowman. The end to be accom-
plished is Happiness No true man
can be happy when his fcllow-creat-
ures around are in want or are de-
stroying themselves.
Let us remember, that with each
setting sun, we are one day nearer
the end. Our time is "Just Passing
By" And remembering, can you
not your neighbor, but you, realize
that you are builder, and build for
yourself and your community
character, life that is worth while? :?
Peace will come when we cease to
destroy and begin to build.
