In all state universities of America
some military training mas been obli-
gatory for years. l favor military
training in the independent colleges
of the country, whether under the care
of particular church or not.
Several weeks ago the war depart
rnent sent notices to LenoX College
that it would welcome undergraduates
qualified to take examination as to
their ability to become lieutenants In

civil war record which is unique, as in
that struggle all male instructors and
male students engaged in the service
of their country and not until the war
was over did the college reopen
President Mackenzie made it clear
he was not IL favor Of war, If it could
ne avoided with honor to the country,
but he said he thought whether war
come or not every male undergrad

opportunity Of developing and testing
his manhood So far as is known DR..

lege to favor military training among

expert with revolver, automatic pistol,
and fencing foil.
DR.. Mackenzie also spoke of college
sports and said Too much of the
physical training Of college students
consists in nothing more than few
champions on a football field, while the
mass of the students are mere onlook-
ers | think every form of sport ought
to De encouraged among men and
women. The young men ought to be
trained so that they can give their
best manhood at any time If called
upon to serve their native land and
there is no reason why college girl

In the interest Of the beet raising IN

the leading industries in Cerro Gordo
county with tine completion OF the ne"
sugar plant in Mason City, Mr.. can
non. a farmer living near Ventura, has
furnished some figures to show thai
beet raising is a paying proposition.
Mr.. Cannon has for several years fur-
nished beets for the Waverly plant un-
til that factory shut down three years
ago.
some five years ago Mr. Cannon
contracted with, the Waverly sugar
ia Glory to grow twenty acres of beets
at the price of s. per ton. The beets
were planted in rows eight inches apart
and cultivated with a one-row pillow.
Under that contract, he raised fifteen
tons of beets per acre and had to load
these beets on the cars at Ventura
which Is three and one half miles from
his farm. After paying for his fertil-
izer. SEED and hand labor, he had
little over $1,000 to the good which is
$50 per acre.
Under the contract the Mason City
plant is making with the farmers the
growers are to plant the beets In rows
twenty four inches apart and to tend
them with a two-row beet pillow. which
would only take half as long to cult
yate them: Besides there will be no
shoveling on cars, as the company Will
have a dump at each station. The d!f-
ference in the amount OF beets per
acre on a 24-inch row, based on fifteen
tons an acre. and an S-inch row Is
little over two tons, which, at So per

had been the same as this year with

Mr.. Cannon says he made more clear
money from his beet crop that year
than he ever did on any other crop
NJ ever raised. ana he says the crops
following the beets have peen ioi
better than before, and he would be
glad to furnish any further figures
