Civic Improvement Club.

DR.. Keeney Ferris gave an interest
ing address on political issues of the
day at the regular meeting of the
Womens Civic Improvement Club
Tuesday afternoon. This address was
enlightening and very much enjoyed.
Delightful music was another feature
of the afternoon. Mrs. Sylvan Pro-
vost sang Every Rose Must Have Its
Thorn" and Joan of Arc, They Are
Calling You" in a most artistic man
ner. An instrumental march and en-
core by Miss Edna Dougherty was
far above the average and left pleas
ing impression. Two vocal solos by
Mrs. Henry Elmore, 81 Cannot Help
Loving You" and who'll Buy My
Lavender" were excellent, and Mrs.
Wilmer Policy made a decided hit by

tana, Wyoming, Utah, Washington,
Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico and
Arizona are destined to become the
sugar bowl of the United States.
These states are great grain and
cattle producers, but sugar beets pay
more per acre than any of these
crops, even at the high war prices,
and will do more to restore the fer
tility and productiveness of the soil
than any other agency when used as
a rotation crop. U. S. government
statistics show the following profits
from six of the leading crops: Beets,
$3.50 per acre; beans, S54.4O;
wheat, $31.95; barley, $S4.S5; corn

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
GREAT FACTOR IN WEST

The sugar beet industry, which re
quires 67 beet sugar factories, with
an investment of 100000 900, in
the ten Pacific and Mountain states
is doing more for the agricultural
development of the west than any
ether one agency.
The secretary of agriculture says:
"The production of all our sugar at
home will go farther toward raising
the standard of agriculture than any
other one thing"

Since the government has taken a

before the winter is over. a radical
change in shoes. For the present
there is not a noticeable restriction
in leather, for the reason that the
bootnakers had laid in formidable
supply In anticipation of the scarcity;
and also because the American army
could not march very far on the soft
kids which are used in fashioning
women's shoes. This supply is rapid
iy diminishing, however, and as there
is not an unlimited amount in view,
prices have begun to soar, gradually
but surely.
Colors will for the most part be
confined TO black, white, tan and gray,
and the majority of the winter shoes
will have cloth tops. This psrsimony
in colors as to tops means nothing

leading at Ga, 1-6. rs, 81 deuce n

court like a ~youngster, while his strokes
and placement work was excellent, so
that Tilden. who at the start appeared
to be slow in reaching his best form.
had an uphill battle before him. He ran
through the second set quickly. but Hall
outfought him in the third and was
playing the better tennis when the storm
drove them to the clubhouse.
