COOPERATIVE BEET GROWING

COOPERATIVE BEET GROWING
The growing Of sugar beess is go
ing to be popular diversion with
the people of Grants Pass this sea-
son. Those who have neither the
time nor the inclination to plant q
crop Of beets and give it personal at
tention. can become beet growers
through this cooperative company
and be assured that the crop will be
given the best Of care. There will be
no charge upon the company for sup
ervision during the planting. care and
harvest Of the crop. The factory
people viii supply foreman for this
purpose.
The greatest advantage to be gain
ed through the operations of the new
company will be the assuring Of the
planting Of lands to beets that
would not otherwise be planted. 1t
Is not the purpose Of the company
to rent lands that would otherwise be
planted by the owner. but there are
many acres that belong to non-resi-
dents. or that for other reasons
might not be planted to beets that
the company will rent and plant.
Furthermore. the company proposes
to sub-let tracts to people who come
in from outside and who want to en-
gage in the beet growing industry.
The formation of the company brings
all these features under competent
head and into the management OF
responsible business directors.
The sugar factory has a great NAV
demanding every year 10000 tons of
beets to satisfy its craving. To reach
Its full measure OF success, and to
pour out its golden flood OF prosper
ity over the community, the beets
must be grown to meet the capacity
Of the factory.

ACCIDENT WAS UNAVOIDABLE

Edward benson, the 12-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Dem
son, of Lambertville, narrowly es-
capped death and nearly lost his left
ear when an auto driven by j. Cho-
quette, of the Jewel Tea Company,
of Trenton, struck him in front of
the gas office on North Union
street, Tuesday afternoon.
The car was proceeding northward
at moderate pace when the boy,
not seeing it, stepped suddenly out
from behind another auto and wag-
on, and was knocked down, two
wheels passing over him.
Several people witnessed the acct
dent, including Policeman Patrick
F. Lynch, and for a moment it was
thought he was killed. Choquette
and others picked him up and carried
him into the gas office. where DR..
l.. C. Williams attended him tenn
porarily until he could be removed
to his home. The left ear was nearly
torn off. and the boys face and
neck we're scraped and bruised. but
no bones were broken, and his entire
recovery is expected.
The auto driver went before Mayor
Theodore Balderston, with several
citizens who saw the accident, and

own recognizance to appear il
wanted.

No Cut in Train Service.

A serious curtailment in the train
service on the Belvidere Delaware
Railroad has been rumored, but it is
now understood that no changes are
contemplated at this time. The Pc.
como express, passing northwar1 at
2.17 p. M, will be continued until
October 16, after which time it will
be changed into local train, arriv-
ing here at 2.10 p. m. The l.29
northbound will then be discontin-
ued, as is usual at this season of the
year. No announcement has been
made as to whether the 500 south
bound will continue to carry passen-
gers or not, but its express business
has grown to such enormous proper
tons that it is not likely that the
coaches will be continued through
the winter.

EDITOR HAZEN
PASSES AWAY
Was Publisher Of the Lambertville
Beacon for Forty-Eight Years,
Longest Local Career.
HAD WIDE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

Phineas Kennedy Hazen, for more
than half century a resident of
Lambertville, and senior editor of
the Lambertville Beacon, passed
away at his home on North Union
street early Monday morning. after
an illness of about one and half
years, although he was confined to
his home but few days by the last
attack that caused his death. His
funeral was held yesterday at Cen
tenary M. E. Church, with Rev.
Charles S. Lawrence, pastor of the
M. E. church at Englishtown, offici-
ating, assisted by Rev. Edward A.
Wells, pastor of the local church.
Interment was in Riverview ceme-
terry under the direction of LaBaw.
Mr.. Hazen was born at Marks
boro, Warren county, on February
16, 1912, and on May 8, 1866, was
married to Emma Arnett, daughter
of the late Cornelius Arnett, and
sister of Fire Chief George w. Ar
nett. They observed their golden
wedding anniversary on May 9,
1916. Besides his wife Mr.. Hazen
is survived by two sons, Joseph N,
with whom he had been connected
in business in this city, and Frank
A. Hazen, superintendent of the
Continental Casualty Company, with
offices in Trenton and Philadelphia.
He was member of LEM Lenape
Lodge, No. Is. |. O. O. F., and Ma
jor C. A. Angel Post, No. 20, G. A.
R., an active member of Centenary
M. E. Church for many years, one
of the oldest Odd Fellows in the
county, member of Free Bridge

Mr.. Hazen was a veteran of the
Civil War, serving in Company |,
31st N. j. Volunteers, recruited at
Pennington. He spent his boyhood
days in Belvidere where he started
to learn the printing trade at the
age of IL years and was actively
engaged until a little over a year
and a half ago when he was stricken
with illness from which he gradually
declined until his death. He was
probably the oldest editor in the
State. He worked at the trade in
Belvidere, Newton and on the old
True American at Trenton both be-
fore and after the war. Mr.. Hazen
came to Lambertville in 1864 and
was employed in The Beacon office,
which was then owned by the late
Clark Pierson, but in 1869 he with
Isaac S. Roberts bought out Mr..
Pierson and they conducted the bust
ness until 1875 when Mr.. Hazen
bought Mr.. Roberts interest, which
he has conducted ever since until
about 10 years ago, when he took
his son, Joseph N. Hazen, into part
nership and the business has since
been conducted under the firm name
of P. K. Hazen & Son.
