matter of securing sugar for this
territory during the past week. Rep
resentatives of the Nebraska Wyo-
ming Sugar Company have been in
our mihst working towards the end
of getting things in shape, in order
that the right conditions exist, which
will warrant the early establishment
of . modern sugar factory.
Numerous meetings have been held
in this, and other parts of the terri
tory, which will receive material ben
efits in the event that sugar fac
tory was located within our midst.
The Nebraska Wyoming Sugar Com
pany has made the positive statement
that they would build a modern su-
gar factory in this territory, repre-
senting an investment of over a mil
lion dollars, provided that solid CO.
operation of the territory involved can
be secured, but they also have i'm
pressed the fact that the time is short
for letting the contract, if the same is
to be for the construction of a
factory which would be in operation
for the 1918 sugar beet crop.
Recent developments have signified
the fact that there is feeling in a
certain part of the territory by some.
which, in our opinion, is contrary to
the "Pull- Together spirit, which by
all means should prevail, if Sedgwick
county and the territory adjacent is
to obtain benefits along future devel-
opment lines, that means an added
and permanent prosperity, that which
the people of the territory cannot well
afford to pass up. 1t isn't an every
day or every year occurrence, when
outside capital will make an offer to
come into this territory and invest
million or more dollars in the up
building of Sedgwick county and the
fertile territory tributary, which in
the end will cement together terri
tory that gives every promise OF
standing in the front ranks in the ag-
ricultural and industrial line.
Are we awake to this fact-you, Mr..
Land Owner, who would enjoy sub
stantial raise in the value of your
land with the establishment of su-
gar factory; you Mr.. Stockman, who
would receive many advantages in the
industry of feeding; you Mr.. Business
Man, who would see twice the vol
ume of business coming to the vari-
Gus towns in the territory with the
advent of the many new settlers who
are bound to come to a territory on
the strength of sugar factory we
ask you-citizens as a whole, are you
really awake to these facts, or are
YOU content to remain sleeping and
be content with seeing this golden
opportunity, which is knocking at our
very door, slip from us. Other terri
tories have advanced, accompanied by
prosperity-but q solid "Pull-Togeth-
er" spirit was prevalent-it is en-
tirely essential.
This paper has endeavored to put
forth its best efforts in assisting to
create a cooperative spirit, which. if
put into force, will undoubtedly bring
forth mutual benefits for Sedgwic&
county and adjacent territory-and
when we say this, we mean its citi-
zenship as a whole who have any in
terests whatever. A sugar factory
for this territory is a big thing, and
it is now up to the people in this Sec
tion to view matters on broad scale
and secure the big things, while they
are being offered to US. Other terri
tories have done and are doing things
and their citizens are reaping the ben

tion few things which occurred on
our journey to camp. The arrival in
Ogallala enlarged our Sammie Boys
to "a, leaving there under the sound
of band which made the boys feel
like heroes.
All along the way there was large
crowds to greet US. When we got to
North Platte 46 more joined our band
of happy boys and our dining car was
put on shortly after leaving. Our
breakfast was arranged and soon was
served. must say it was new for
several of the boys who had the pleas
ure to have their meals served on a
moving table. Being little later in
the day, it gave the people a better
chance to be at the stations. and up
on the arrival at Lexington where the
people greeted US with flowers, and
26 more boys were added to the force.
The same was repeated at Kearney,
which took up all empty space when
the Kearney boys boarded the train.
Grand Island sure looked good to US,
as when we reached there We were
sure ready for dinner which was wait
ing for us ut the Vienna Cafe. After
dinner We all went to the courthouse
and had our pictures taken, and if
any one wishes one of those, write
the sheriff at Grand Island. After
we had our pictures taken we were
lined up for march. The parade was
led by large band of old soldiers,
and we all fell in trying to keep step
through the main part of the bust
ness section, which ended when we
boarded our special train consisting of
~ coaches.
1t was solid crowd around US to
| read the motto written on the cars,
decorated with flags. 1t sure was
grand. From Grand Island we went
to Hastings, where they gave us books
to read and flowers to wear. This was
the only place where we saw Red
Cross representatives at the station to
greet u.s. That sure was a wide
awake town. Here so more Samrnies
found us and believe everybody was
| at the station. Davenport was the
; next stop, which place was really sim
eere of our welfare. Here another
bunch joined our troop of Sammies.
Nearing our journeys end there
was surprise in store for US when
we got to Fairbury, town we never
, will forget. We all marched up town
where we were greeted with a recep-
tion in hall large enough toalet US
all enjoy eating supper at the same
time. Then again we were given an
other rose, which was supplied by Mr..

gressive railroads west of the Mis-
sissippi river foresaw this problem,
and appropriated funds to keep its
employees free from malaria in order
to maintain it's working force at the
top notch of efficiency. The State of
Mississippi has also inaugurated ac-
tive steps which will lead to an in
creased output from each farm and
other efforts along similar lines are
being made.
If this same active interest in ma
larial control can be extended gem
orally this disease, which has been a
severe handicap to the development
of certain regions, can be checked and
bumper crops produced. Tremendous
opportunities in this regard are open
to declarations Of women's clubs, cham
bers of commerce, civic leagues and
farmers organizations, and all such
effort will be repaid a hundred fold.

important does the government con-
slider this work, particularly in view
of the necessity of cu%ltivating every
foot of ground during the coming
year, that steps have been taken to
have the public health service pre-
pare and distribute directions as to
how it may be accomplished. Any
farmer who is even remotely inter-
ested in the problem can write to the
government and obtain this informa-
ton free of charge.

Origin Of the Carol.

Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace. good will towar men.-Luke
2:14.
Such was the first carol, sung by the
holy angels amid the thrilling scene
SO wildly described by the evangelist.
This song is happily used in the COM
munion service as the opening Of
"Gloria In Excelsis Deo." The word
carol seems to be derived from the
italian verb carolare-to sing-imply-
ing a Joy song, an outburst of exuber-
ance. In the time of Chaucer, who
died in 400, this word usually meant
simultaneous dancing and singing.
Gradually its secular origin was be-
clouded, and nowadays a carol general
ly mean a Christmas song of thanks
giving. though there were formerly not
only Easter carols, but also winter and
even summer carols.-Living Church.

MEAT ANIMALS GAIN IN PRICE

Inc prices received by products Tor
cattle, sheep and hogs, September Is,
and chickens, October l, have gained
52.7 per cent in the general average
from 1916 to 1917. according to the
latest report of the United States
department of agriculture. The adj
vance for beef cattle per 100 pounds,
live weight, was from S6.55 to $40,
or % per cent; for veal calves per 100
pounds, from $S.77 to S11.0S, or 26
per cent; sheep per 100 pounds, from
S6.25 to $10.05, or 81 per cent; lambs
per 100 pounds, from 1922 to $13.O6,
or SO per cent; hogs per 100 pounds,
from 1922 to $3.50, or 70 per cent,
and chickens, from 14.3 to 1871 cents
per pound, or 81 per cent. Sheep,
lambs and hogs have exceeded beef
cattle, veal calves and chickens in the
upward price movement at the point Of
production.
The highest price at the farm per
100 pounds, live weight, reached dur
ing the year under review, was $50
for beef cattle in May, s11.0s for veal
calves in last September, s10.15 for
sheep in May, $13.O6 for lambs in last
September, $3.50 for hogs in last
September and 1871 cents per pound
for chickens October l of this year.
The latest farm price reported is the
highest one of the year for veal
calves, lambs, hogs, and chickens; the
May price was the highest for beef
cattle and sheep.

KEEP THE FARMER WELL

1t has been stated that the SUI
preme need of the nation during the
coming months is an abundance of
fo~odstuffs. The truth of this state
ment is being more and moi brought
home to every citizen as the days go
by, the constantly increasing prices
of food materials constituting reli-
able evidence that the situation is be-
coming acute. One reason for this is
the scarcity of labor in our rich agri-
cultural sections, a condition which
cannot altogether be relieved. An
other reason, and one which is fire.
quently overlooked, is the lack of eff
ficiency in the present day worker,
particularly when due to disease. 1t
is estimated that 4 per cent of the
population of certain sections suffer
from malaria, a disease which les
0 n production and results in serious
economic loss.
"Keep the farmer we'll, should be a
fitting slogan of the present day.
There never was a time when pro-
duction was in such need of stimula-
ton and when able-bodied men and
women were in such demand. Every
case of malaria, typhoid fever or
other efficiency reducing disease
among the productive population
near that the output of food is ap-
preciably reduced and that the short
age is UNNECESSARILY increased. A
large part Of the lands in the richest
sections of the south, and to a less
extent in the north as we'll, is today
partially or wholly unproductive on
account of being overrun with malar-
ia, with a consequent loss of millions
of dollars. 1t is entirely feasible to
reclaim these lands and thus increase
the nations output. In certain areas
the working ability of the population
has been so affected by this disease
that not only is there a shortage of
growing crops, but also of lumber
cotton and other manufactured goods
The moving of agricultural and manu-.
featuring hands into these districts
would not materially improve the stu.
alton as the newcomers would suffer
a loss of efficiency fully as great as
that Of the older residents. However,
if co-ordinated, intelligent and well
directed effort is instituted this seri-
Gus economic handicap under which
we are laboring a be easily over
come. Already examples of individual
accomplishment along this line are
plentiful.
At Crossett, Ark, a town of 2OOO
people, the United States public
health service working in cooperation
with the International health board
in one season reduced the incidence of
malaria by over 80 per cent. The
cost of the work was $1.23 per per
son, less than what one would have
paid for a single visit of a physician;

losses sustained by people protected
against malaria averaged but 90 cents
per family, as reckoned from MONEY
expended for physicians and medicine
and absence from work on account Of
sickness. In the same town the

ployed no control measures against
the disease sustained an annual loss

mas is giving.
Christmas Is losing ones life and
finding it again in the heart of another
Wherever we find good will, humane
ty, fellow feeling. there we find a heart
celebrating Christmas. The most deli
cate pleasures of Christmas spring from
the gifts we make to others, from
the happiness we can impart to others,
from the abandonment of ourselves to
another's Joy.
The more utterly we lose ourselves
in the lives Of others the more we are
keeping Christmas. The losing of our
own life, to find 1t in another, is for
ever the Christmas token. It was of
