,: :? ? i? !?

Ordway's business section of the
city was dark Sunday night, and ac-
cording to press reports in the daily
papers OF Monday it was a "sympa-
thetic lockout" At any rate when
the evening hour came and the pic
ture show failed to open its doors
for a Sunday night performance the
drug stores, restaurants and other
business houses which had been
keeping open on Sunday !. evenings
turned down their lights and pulled
the blinds and locked their doors,
even to Uncle Sans postoffice, which
had been keeping the front door into
the lobby unlocked on Sunday even
ings, turned the key in sympathy
with the picture show, circuses and
other places of amusement.
1t all took place because on Tues
day the people of the city, by vote
of 159 to 144, voted to have no
amusement attractions on Sunday
nights hereafter. Several weeks ago
the matter of closing picture shows
on Sunday was taken up before the
city council and by agreement the
question of closing them was left
up to the people in general. In ac-
cordance with this vote was taken
at the city election on Tuesday of
last week.

Tent Revival
For Ordway
This vicinity is to have a
big revival meeting. 1t will
be started about May 20 and
last for three weeks.

A general committee representing
the churches of Ordway, Numa and
Crowley held a meeting on Tuesday
evening of this week for the purpose
of outlining an organization for con-
Quoting a tent revival meeting In
Ordway. Having been learned that
DR.. Cyrus S. Nusbaum could be Sc
cured about May 20 the different
churches have been asked to CO.
operate and perfect plans after
which a committee will, be appointed
and arrangements made for the cam
paign. The general committee,
which met Tuesday evening, con-
sisted of David Thingan, chairman; /;
Judge Charles c. Woodbridge, James
Carpenter, Samuel Baker. Frank Mil
Ter and DR.. Hugh F.. Lorimer.
The churches have been fortunate
to secure man of DR.. Nusbaum s
ability. He is one of the most able
speakers on the lecture course plat
form and is a minister of wide ex-
perience. DR.. Nusbaum was, for sew
eral years, one of the leading spirits
in the Methodist conference in Kan
sas and served as presiding elder of
the Southern Kansas district. He
will be remembered by people of this
vicinity because of having lectured
here last summer during the Chau-
tauqua and conducting religious ser;
vices at the big Chautauqua tent the
next day.
Those who know DR.. Nusbaum
know him to be one of the most sim
cere men in religious work. He is a
big man physically and is filled with
energy, altho not of sensational
disposition.
There will be plans sufficiently
under way within few days to give
the public details, but from the start
the revival has taken and the interest
shown in it by the laymen, there is
no doubt but that it will be one OF
the most active revival meetings ever
held in Ordway.

Sugar Beet News
and Farm Notes

The annual distribution of an ex-
ira $3.50, 100000 to American farm
ers and laborers is not the only, nor
is it the principal, gain WHICH would
come to the American people through
producing their entire sugar supply
at home. Each of the 1920 Euro
pean and seventy-fve American beet
sugar factories is an agricultural ex-
pertinent station which teaches the
farmers better methods of agricul-
ture. not only in the culture of sugar
beets, but of all crops.
The cultivation of sugar beets not
only provides the farmer with one
of his most profitable money crops,
but it so prepares and enriches his
land that for a series of years it pro-
duces a greatly increased yield of all
other crops which follow. Although
the natural soil and climatic condi-
tions of Europe are greatly inferior
to those of the United States, through
the introduction of sugar beet cul-
ture their worn out soils have been
so rejuvenated that they now pro-
duce much greater tonnage of all
crops.
In 1909, Germany, the largest
sugar producing country in the world,
produced 3O5 bushels of wheat to
the acre to our 1873 bushels; SO
bushels of oats to our 30.3 bushels; !;
39.5 bushels of barley to our "a 3
bushels; 2S.8 bushels of rye to our
16.1 bushels; and 20S9 bushels of
potatoes to our 1868 bushels From
42.0O0.000 acres devoted to these
five crops in 1909 German farmers
harvested 100000 bushels,
while from 100000 acres Ameri-
can farmers harvested but 2,30O,-
| 100000 bushels.
Frequent mention IS made of Ger
many's preparedness in military or
ganization. in munitions, in indus
trial enterprises, in chemistry and in
the construction of strategic rail
ways, but inasmuch as an army
marches on its belly and the civil
population must be fed. no other re-
suit of science, economy or states
manship has been of such funda-
mental importance to the German
empire as the increase of her agri-
cultural yields to a point where. with
her ports blockaded, she is able to
produce from an area far less than
that of Texas. the food with which
to sustain a population three-fourths
as large as that of the entire United
States. Without exception the noted
agronomists and economists of the
German empire attribute the wonder
full progress which that country has
made in agricultural methods to the
Introduction of sugar beet culture.
Wherever sugar beets have been
grown in the United States the yields
of other crops grown in the United
States the yields of other crops
grown in rotation have increased
more rapidly than they increased in
Germany, and oftehtimes have far
exceeded the German yields. If
through the general introduction of
sugar beet culture our soils were
made to equal the German acreage
yields, based on the United States
farm value in 1909, without extend
ing their acreage, but solely through
the value of the excess yield, our
farmers would be richer by s1,340,-
100000 a year.
