Roseburg News: Frank B. Waite,
who was in the city today from Suther-
lin, informed News representative
that he had just closed deal with the
Grants Pass Sugar Beet Retirin
pany, whereby 100 acres of his finest
bottom land, on the old Waite nome al
Sutherlin, has been leased by this com
pany ,and that operations will begin
at once to put the ground into condi-
tIon for the culture of sugar beets.
The land leased is considered excel
lent for the purpose secured and will
no doubt open up an industry at
Sutherln that will be of no minor
igaportanec Tests made of the soil
show a high percentage Favorable to
the raising of sugar beets, which was
the incentive to bring the Grants Pass
company to this county for operations.
The beet industry, while not of any
great Importance in this county at
present, will no doubt be given more
attention as the success of the Suther-
lin venture bcOmes known.

61 oDAY will be "red letter day" in Birmingham, as well as Red Cross day.
 Women brave loyal, splendid-soldiers courageous, fine, patriotic. will march in the big Red Cross parade this after noon, thus giving a demonstration of their sympathetic attitude toward all that pertains to encouragement and loy- alty during these vivid war times.
 The parade is just one of many ex- hibitions of loyalty which the Red Cross is making this week during the cam paign which is being conducted in Bir mingham when s150O0O is to be raised to take care of our boys on the other side.
 Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, in an address before a meeting in Washington on May 25, 1917, of the war fund of the Red Cross, struck the keynote most em- phatically when he said:
 T was requested by some of the off, cers of the organization to say word as to the part the Red Cross played in our little expedition Into Mexico,
 Just before Christmas Miss Board man wrote me note ana asked me what you could do for the men in Mexi- co. l telegraphed her list of things that l thought might be acceptable as Christ mas presents, thinking that she would select from these some one thing to give to each man. But she sent word around to the various chapters throughout the country and prepared not only a comfort bag, but a comfort bag containing each and everyone of those articles for each man in the division.
 The point I wish to make Is that those things bring the soldier to remem- Der that the people at home are behind him. You do not know how much that is going to mean to us who are going abroad. You do not know how much that means to any soldier who is over there carrying the flag of his country. That is the point I want to say, that should be uppermost in the minds of those who are working for the soldier"

Vermont "BIue Laws" Should Be
Repealed.

The famous Connecticut "blue
laws are now mere historic mem
cries. With the beginning of the
present month they were formally
recognized as obsolete Connecticut
has new set Of Sunday observance
rules. They are fewer In number
than the old ones, and needless toI
say, they are far more liberal and
sensible. They drop the attempt of
18th century Puritanism to legislato
the innocent joy out of life. They
recognize that human nature, as it
exists in the normal man and wo-I
man, is not wholly bad. and that the
instructive love of various forms of
recreation hitherto banned is not at
all inconsistent with the love of Cod,
Though little change may be not
ed in the outward observance of the
Sabbath in Connecticut, there will
be a notable change III the spirit OF
II. The Hypocrisy has been swept
away. People may now indulge in
certain harmless pleasures without
any furtiycness or secret sense OF
guilt. And that is a great gain. Cit
teens will no longer be conscious of
breaking the law il they cook a
meal on Sunday, or take a walk or
go calling. And when there Is no
LEGAL obligation about ohurch.golng,
they may start going to church

This change is characteristic of a
general tendency to relax the olden
severity OF Sunday laws in America
