SUGAR BEET SEED

Sugar beet seed was grown CONNER,

wear in several States from Michigan

vested in 1918 was so satisfactory, ac-
cordirg to the report Of the chief of
the bureau Of plant Industry of the de.
Partment, in each of the areas tested
that largely increased acreage was
planted this year.
This bureau has assisted in an advis
DRY way in growing, selecting and silo-
ing the roots, planting them in tho
spring, harvesting and cleaning the
seed, and in general endeavoring to
produce the largest amount of CONNER,
cial seed possible at a minimum cost.
approximately 5000 acres are in beet
seed in this country this year, while we
require the product of at least 10000
acres for normal planting. not con.
sidering the natural expansion of the
beet sugar industry. Each new mill
will require an average of two hundred
acres in seed to meet its planting re
quircmentS. Seven new mills are in
process Of construction for this wear.
The problem of drying the sugar
beets for the purpose of increasing the
amount Of raw material for the mill
and thereby increasing the length Of
the sugar campaign, has been further
investigated. The principal difficulty
has been in finding or dcvising a dryer
of suitable capacity to handle enough
be"ts per day to be profitable. A sat,
isfnctory solution of the problem will
be very beneficial in those small val

BRIDE OF Less THAN
MONTH WANTS TO
REGAIN SINGLENESS

Mrs. Frliza de la Cruz, after just
twcnty.six days trial, decided yester-
day that marriage is failure when
she filed in the local circuit court a suit
for divorce from her husband, Lucio de
la Cruz
The couple were married in Honolu-
lu on the first of the present month by
Rev. Father Nietorinus Claesen Of the
Catholic Cathedral. Lucio weighs about
one hundred and forty pounds, while his
bride of less than a month tips the
scales at about ninety and is probably
not more than four feet tall
Mrs. Cruz says that ten days after
they had plighted their marital vows
and promised to love and cherish each
other. her husband began course Of
treatment. truly cruel and painful. When
the within struck him he would strike
her, not with the within, but with his
fists. He also used his feet to kick her,
and, (" vary the monotOny of the sport
would drag her about by her hair, which
is long and strong. All these things
panied her and led her to believe that
he did not love her any longer. Now
she wants Judge Coke to undo what
Father Nictorinus did-to put asunder
those whom God hath united in the holy

CuardSrnan Fired"
From Service For
Failing To Obey

A court martial order has Just been
received at headquarters Hawaiian de.
pattmcnt, which is Of general interest
because it announced the result of the
tional guard regiment of New Mexico
who refused to present themselves for
muster at the time of the mobilization
of the militia last June. The court
martial was ordered July % and was
composed Of five regular Army officers,
and eight officers of the New Mexico
guard.
There was a provision in the order
that majority of the members must
always be national guard officers This
is the first report to be received Of
any of the trials and was probably in
the nature of test case. The accused
in this case was Pvt. Lewis O. Gardner,
Company B, First Infantry, New Mexi-
co National Guard.
The charge is failure TO appear for
muster for service, in violation Of Sec
tiOn of the Militia Act.'
The specification states that Private
Gardner "having, as member of such
militia, been called into the service of
The United States to defend the same
from further aggression from Mexico,
by order Of the President dated May 9,
1916, transmitted through the Governor
of the State of New Mexico, and being
by the terms Of said call and order re-
quired to appear at Columbus. New
Mexico, on or about June 90 1915, for
muster for service, did refuse and neg
lect to present himself for such muster
for SERVICE
The court found the prisoner guilty
of the charge and specification and sen
fenced him, "t' be dishOnorably dis
charged from the service, FORGETTING all
pay and allowances due him, and to be
confined at hard labor ut such place as
the reviewing authority may direct for
one year.
The President, in reviewing the case,
approved the sentence but upon the
of the secretary of
war remittcd the confinement imposed.
Private Gardner has therefore been dis
honorably discharged but will not suf
fer imprisonment
