SUGAR BEET SITUATION.

With assistance Of the state farm
bureau, sugar beet growers are pre-
pairing to form as compact a unit OF
their number as possible, so that
they can control the crop in Michi-
gan as successfully as the citrous
fruit growers in California control
the marketing of their products. A
similar form of crop contract was
fundamentally approved at a meet
ing of Representatives from 18 su-
gar beet producing counties at the
state farm bureau Office last week.
A special committee of A. J. Smith
Of st. Clair, d. E. Herriott Of Clin-
ton, Clarence Oviatt of Bay City, L..
E. Kirkland of Monroe, and Thomas
Price of Saginaw, was named to
work with the state farm bureau
secretary's office and legal counsel
in drafting the necessary contracts.
Plans for presentment to dele
gates from all of the beet producing
counties are rapidly taking shape.
The delegates will be called togeth-
er, December 18th.
While Michigan is endeavoring to
work out it's solution of sugar beet
marketing problems, the American
Farm Bureau Federation is consid-
ering action of this nature on a ma
tional scale. The Utah and Idaho
Farm Bureau Federations have ask
ed that the American Farm Bureau
Federation call a national meeting
Of representatives of sugar beet
growers to consider a uniform con-
tract for 1921. President Burton of
Utah mentions that there is wide
variation, both in form of contract
and prices bid for the beets in the
various states. President Howard
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton indicates that national con-
ference in December is likely plan.

Confidence Solidifying.

1t is mighty cheering to know that
the confidence of the farmers of the
state in the integrity of the farm
bureau and its substantiability Is di-
minishing nowheres or remaining at
a standstill, but that it is increasing
every day, everywhere among our
farmers.
In great democratic structure,
such as we have built in Michigan,
embracing 80 odd thousand individ-
ing of "doubting Thomas" NAL
contents, and natural disturbers.
These three always are vociferous
scures the sane confidence of the
Great majority and their determine
ton to make things go right. AS an
tawa county. Early last spring the
membership campaign was put on in
Ottawa and approximately 900 men,
bers enrolled. There was an apathy
then concerning the. farm bureau.
Since then memberships have been
added, mostly voluntarily, with the
result that this week Ottawa an
nounces it's membership as 1862.
Huron county also was canvassed
last spring and 3047 members were
signed. Today it's membership
stands as 31O3. Hillsdale county en-
rolled 1900 members last spring.
Now the farm bureau there has 2069
supporters. 1t is obvious that un-
less confidence had been constantly
growing in the reliability of the
farm bureau, no such remarkable in
crease in the number of the organi-
zation's supporters could be noted.
Practically every county that has
been canvassed has a story similar
to that of Ottawa, Huron and Hills
dale to relate. Canvasses have just
been completed in Isabella and Dick
inson counties. Dickinson shows a
membership of 378, which is 95 per
cent of the farmers solicited. Isa-
bella signed up 1417.

ENCOURAGEMENT

To the Holstein Breeders who felt
somewhat disappointed at the prices
received in the first consignment sale
from from Il the November 20, issue of the
Holstein-Friesian World should be
encouraging:
"This was the first consignment
sale ever attempted in Shiawassee
County, and the breeders should be
complimented upon the. quality and
condition Of the offerings. Every
animal was in good condition and
well trimmed and groomed, and II
the breeders keep up the pace they
set in their first sale, they will have
one of the best sales in the state"

FIRST CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

Ii Is said that Christmas was first
observed In the year 9S and that 1t was
not until the year 137 that 1t was made
q solemn feast. Pope Telesphorus de-
creed that 1t should be celebrated by
all Christians In that year. On one
early Christmas day the Roman En-
peror Diocletian. hearing that the
Christians assembled In their church
we're engaged In celebrating the birth
Of Christ, commanded that the doors
of the church be closed and the build
ing set on fire. This was done and six
hundred persons lost their lives In the

COMMISSION ID
 ERECT HOSPITAL
 NENANA CANYON

Some idea of the importance and dangerous character of the work now in progress and contemplated
 beyond the end of steel, south of Nenana, may be gathered from the
 fact that the Alaskan Engineering commission is about to commence the construction of an emergency hospital at the Kestly camp, in Nenana canyon.
 Dr. Malcolm E. Smith. chief sur geon of the local hospital, made a "trip to the conyon on Saturday for the purpose of selecting a site for the new structure. which will be I20x30 feet in size. with beds for isix patients, living quarters for the doctor in charge and a nurse, and Ia dispenssry.
 When questioned regarding the iplans, pr. Smith explained to a of The News that the dangerous character of the work lin the canyon warranted the erec- tion of such building as is con templated, equipped to treat such emergency cases as doubtless will develop as the railroad work prog ,resses. Powder cases and injuries resulting from cave-ins, rock slides and the like will require prompt surgical attention, and it will b. possible, with such an emergency hospital as is planned. to render al most immediate aid. and to prepare leases for the main hospital in Ne inana, should it be necessary to send iany of the patients into town. Dr. T. o. Lake, assistant sur igeon at the Government hospital, will have charge of the new hos Ipital, assisted by man nurse. The hospital building will be built ,close to the Kestly messhouse. and the meals for the hospital staff and patients will be prepared by the camp cook. Worl on the hospital will start immediately.

MARSHAL FINDS ROAD SURPRISE:
 ENJOYS OUTING

i When interviewed by a repre- sentative of The News today rela-
 tive to his first ride on the main line of the Government railroad, to
 the south of Nenana, United States
 Marshal L. T. Erwin, who came to
 Nenana several days ago to have 2 general look over the district, spoke enthusiastically of the man l ner in which the road has been
 built. II don't mind telling you" the marshal said, that the road south of Nenana is a big surprise to me. I did not expect to find anything nearly so substantial, and the roadbed is at least fifty percent
 smoother than I thought it would be. The ride which we had over the line on Saturday certainly was revelation and more enioyable
 than many rides that I have taken
 on old-established roads in the States. Your passenger coach, which is a homemade affair, with
 out springs, actually moves over the roadbed with less jolting than many of the modern cars in which l have , travelled in the States. The work.
 in my opinion, has been very well ] done"
 1 The chief object of the marshal {, in making the trip over the road i was to have a look at the Burns coal mine, which is being developed i by Gust Peterson and associates.
 He dreaded the trip just a little, believing that he would be kept
 busy holding himself in his seat. And. as he says, he was very agree
 ably surprised to find the roadbed So smooth. He was accompanied on the trip by Roadmaster W. L. Packer and Deputy Marshal James Haean
 The manner in which the coal is
 being mined also was a revelation 10 the marshal-a big improvement over the methods employed in the coal mines of the South, where a very large amount of the coal must be shoveled by hand after it is knocked down. At the Burns mine there is no shoveling, all the coal
 being loaded into the cars easily by
 means of a series of slides from the stopes. ! The application of practical and
 efficient methods impressed the mar
 shal greatly and he believes it will
 not be long until the operators will
