BRITAIN'S DAYS.

Next Saturday and Sunday, De.
,cember Z and 8, the people Of the
United States will pay the tribute
OF appreciation to Great Britain for
the part she has played in the war
From coast to coast those days will
be "Britain's Days." and it is essen
tfal that the people of Idaho should
not lag behind the rest Of the country
in generous acknowledgment of that
debt to Britain which we share with
the rest of the world.
The American people must do JUS
tice to this strong and fearless ally.
Great Britain, the strongest nation of
the alliance because of her superb
fleet, contributed more to the COM
mon cause and to the common VIC
tory than any other of the nations
which battled against Huns. Even
the magnificent services and sacri-
fees of France, though the French
death list exceeds that Of England,

were not so decisive as the services
and sacrifices of England and our
own war effort, tho it may have
turned the scale against the enemy.
is Insignificant when compared with
the efforts Of England and the rest
OF the empire-efforts which ex-
tended over more than four years.
We must be generous to our al
lies in order to hold their friend
ship and it is only just to admit
that 1t may be England's proud glory
to know that she saved the world.
Without British participation in the
war, continental Europe would have
been under the kaiser's heel in less
than a year after hostilities were be-
gun. The record is imPerishable
and indisputable, but the British peo-
pie, who never covet admiration and
who are not given to Boosting, will
not boast Of that record nor Justly
appraise it. That must be left for
England's alliees to do, and the
United States should be the first ma
tion to acknowledge the magnitude
OF the world 8 common debt to the
British people and the British en-
pire.-Statesman.

BEET TOPPERS AND
PULLERS FAILED,

Farmers who have tried the beet
toppers and pullers that were placed
on the market late in the season OF
1918, report that they are not a sue
cess. In number of instances OF
actual operation reports indicate
that the same number of men re-
quired to operate the machines and
gather the beets, could handle more
tons in the same time by the old
hand method.
The principal difficulty in operat-
ing the machines seems to lie in the
fact that the tops and the beets get
mixed and that the beets are not we'll
laid out on the top of the ground.
In actual practice most of them are
mixed up more or less in the dirt
and have to be pulled out rather than
merely picked up.
We have yet to hear about q case
where the machines were not dis
carded, after having been given a
practical trial in the field. The test
that was made in October near the
sugar factory, on rather favorable
ground, where the machines were
operated by experts and where no ef-
fort was made at speed, but each OPP
GRAFTON Of topping, removing the tops
and pulling the beets was done in
l1esurely manner, the operations
were carefully performed.
There seems to be a general belief
among the farmers that the beet
topper of the future, the one that
will be success, will not only cut
on the tops, but will throw them on
an elevator and assemble them in
punches to be dropped at intervals.
where they can easily be loaded onto
wagons. The puller that is a sue
cess will have to be able to pull all
sizes of beets and get them up on ton
OF the ground and while this is be-
ing done they might as well land on
draper that will carry them into
wagon or q dump box that will drop
them along in punches of 100 pounds
or 200 pounds in place.
Work for Greater Speed at Less Ex-
pense.
We hope the inventive minds that
are directed to those problems will
bring us better toppers; a kind that
will put the tops in piles and beet
pullers that will hapile the beets
properly, drop the piles so the wag-
ons can load both productions readily
and let the topper and puller go right
on operating without delays.
AS we get to using the more per-
feet seed and to planting the seed
thinner, the work of beet thinning
VIII be reduced and beets will have a
better chance to grow to uniform
size, and here again it becomes more
essential to have the ground graded /
perfectly so that irrigation will not |
make various sizes, Of beets.
AS we see 1t the whole trend of |
beet raising is toward greater perfec-
ton in all these things so that the
sum total will be greater yield and
less expense.

CHOOSE SOLDIERS FIRST
Large Employers Announce That
They Will Give Preference in EN-.
plOyment to Disabled Men,

Public authorities and other large
employers will give preference in EN-.
ployment to men disabled or injured
in the war, it is indicated by reports
to the federal board of vocational
education.
Many employers have announced
their intention to such men, pro-
vided they have received the neces-
sary training for such employment.
| For every million men sent over
seas during the war, certain per-
centage will be permantly disabled,
10 per cent by naming, and about
80 per cent by disease. A large per-
centage of these will want to re-
turn as soon as possible to civil and
Industrial life.
To enable them to do this the
Ehearty cooperation of the employers
with the governments plans for sal
vaging this man-power will be abso-
lutely necessary. The government
will undertake to make the man as
well physically as he can be made; to
train him to become an effective
worker and to support him and his
family while he is undergoing this
treatment. 1t will then be necessary
for the employer to do his part by
using, as Tar as he can without in
jury to his business, these handicap
ped soldiers in his particular plant or
esta adjustment.
Farmers must take back every
farmer boy who wants to return to
the land, and as many more as can
be induced to take up this kind Of
work." says James P. Munroe, vice.
chairman of the board. Industries,
large and small, must make care

to himself and to the man employed
The federal board asks that all en-
ployers make careful estimate OF
their individual need of helpers in
plant and workshop, and commune
cate such needs to the placement Of
ficers of the board. These placement
experts, on the other hand, will keep
employers supplied with lists of men
available for such jobs os need to
be filed. Upon representation by
an employer Of his need of a special
kind of workman, the placement Of
ficers will make study of his avail
able candidates, and from such can
'didates will select a man who has
been trained in this special line OF
work. Any suggestions made by the
employers as to the desirability Of
other or additional training will be
carefully needed by the board.

they can use properly trained dis

Merchants must reckon how far II
Is safe for them to use, in selling
buying and accounting men with this
or that physical handicap. And es.
pecially must those professions and
those occupations which are largely
administrative in character make up
their minds to give every proper
chance to these disabled men who,
thru education previously received,
are competent to take intellectual
responsibilities.
ALI this, of course, is to be done
with due consideration for the en-
ployer and his business, as we'll as
for the interest of the man himself,
No employer will be asked to take
a man into his plant, who is not able,
or cannot be made able, to preform
efficiently the duties of the Job to
which he has been assigned.
To facilitate this important work
of cooperation between the employer
and the government, the federal
board is endeavoring to give to the
employers of the country as much in
formation as possible concerning the
necessary steps to get the disabled
men out of the hospital and into the
workshop and factory. 1t has sought
to make clear that training in the
whole range Of the skilled trades is
available to such disabled men, and
that the course offered them are de-
signed to make 100 per cent use of
the capacities that remain to them.
All the instruction given is in we'll
recognized, standard occupations,
where there is steady and well-paid
employment.
Therefore, 1t will be easily pos
sible for evry grade of employer to
draw heavily upon this reserve in
dustrial force, with good results both

VAUDEVILLE OPENS
 AT LYCEUM TODAY

Vaudeville de luxe becomes an in stitution in the city today when the Lyceum theater presents it's first show under the new arrangement which calls for three acts daily, and a program of one feature motion pic- ture and several smaller pictures comprising in all about three hours entertainment. Every detail has been arranged to make the first show a big success, and under very favor able circumstances the venture is to- day introduced to the New Britain public.
 There is absolutely no reason why the venture on it's introduc ction today should not meet with general favor There are numberless reasons why it should. Tn the first place this will be the best show in the city; in the second place the only high class vaudeville obtainable in New Brit ain will be presented here; and in the third place the public is to be given better entertainment at low prices. What with the cleanest, neat est, and best appointed house in which it is presented and every ac- conmod odation possible being provid- ed, this show is expected to be the biggest rawing card in the city to- day.
 Owing to the Monday closc-down there will be three shows the first day each week until that order goes out of effect. This will make up for there being no show Tuesdays and will allow everyone who so desires an opportunity to witness the per formance on one day if not on an other. The show daily will commence at 2:J5 o'clock, the acts to be pre- sented in succession commencing shortly after 3 o'clock It will come to a close in time to allow women to get home to prepare the evening meal.
 The shows every Monday will be continuous this rule going into ef- feet today. Acts are booked through the United office and contracts call for performances of a clean, decent nature, so that no one need fear to attend
 This weeks show will bring the Hanamura Japs, Barlow and Deerie, and the Burlington Four in the vau- deville line and William Russell in Sands of Sacrifice" Alice Howell
