BUSINESS MEN
AID INDUSTRY
Commercial Club Held Meeting Mon-
day Evening when Sugar Beet
Question Was Discussed

A fair attendance of men Of the
community was on hand at the CON-
uercial club meeting Monday even
Ing. The principal topic of the even.
Ing had to do with the feviving OF
the sugar beet industry In this valley
and the club committed Its member
ship to the active support OF the In
dustry throughout future years. II
is realized by the practical persons
of the project that several years will
be required to firmly establish the
departure in this valley where more
or less unpleasantry featured the
earlier efforts to make the enter
prise pay. 1t is held by these famil-
lar with the subject that the farmers
Of this section need to diversity In
farming effort and that beet raising
presents one Of the best paying out
lets for the farmer. whose lands are
distinctly improved by this form of
culture which should form basis
for crop rotation here through out
fHture years.
Somebody has been spoofing the
good folks up in Filler. Idaho, where
a recent isue of the Filler Record car
ries a picture of the. rallon factory
with the declaration that It would b
to that city for sugar manu-
featuring purposes next year. The
good qualities Of the factory equip
ment was lauded. 1t was alleg-
ed that the Idaho COOPERATIVE Beet
Sugar Company purchased the FaI-
lon factory. a statement that
is disproven by recent develop
ments which confirm the intentions
OF the Utah owners of the Fallon fac-
tory to operate the concern here
throughout future seasons, commen-
cling with this fall when q long cam
paign will be conducted. It IL un-
derstood by the owners that It WIN
not be possible to secure acreage here
for the present season beyond q NOM
inal amount, but letters received by
DR.. c. A. Hascall and Thomas Dolf
state that large tonnage Of the ov-
erflow production from Utah and
Idaho will be shipped to Fallon for
beet sugar manufacture.
This announcement means TINT a
force of mechanics will shortly be ON
the ground to put the factory
in shape for long cam
paign and it will be altogether up to
the farmers OF this valley whether
the auspicious start that wi be
made this fall shall materialize into
a regular yearly campaign. General
ly speaking project farmers are anx-
ious to have the industry revived
and will aid in every way possible to
bring about this greatly to be desired
result.
The club secretary reported the
telephone bond up to Monday. This
gave the bond isue as proposed by
the club 1875 affirming replies. 21
noes and 10 void votes.

saved Joseph Green from beating last
night, but did not eliminate him from

by Judge Hastings in Municipal Court
today on the charge Of violating the speed

Green was arrested last night when a
riot eail was sent in 10 the police from the
vicinity Of the Third street bridge. In the
opinion Of Judge Hastings, Green was per-
fectly justified in running as fast as he
could at one stage OF the adventure.
Green was driving at q high rate Of
speed when he rounded the corner Of
Seventh and Buttonwood streets, and was
knocked of the gate Of q yard on that
street and also pushed over a pile OF

HAS BIG SNAKE RIGHT
To EAT LIVE CHICKEN?
Boa Constructor Trainer Puts
Knotty Question Before Court
for Decision.

Winnipeg, Sept. Does live chicken
suffer any pain while traversing the pas
sage between q boa constructors mouth
and stomach? IL il does, which is the
crueler-to allow the chicken 20 suffer or
TO let the snake starve TO death?
This problem was propounded TO the
Winnipeg police court, and the Judge, Sir
Hugh John Macdonald, decided that al
though the chicken may be tortured in
body and mind during the brief moment it
is passing il is more humane 10 allow it to
suffer than to let boa constructor die for
want of nourishment.
The complaint was filed by the Winni-
peg Humane Society against Miss Agnes
Westlake, snake charmer with circus
showing here, in which Miss Westlake
was charged with ''diabolic cruelty" in
feeding live chicken to her 260-pound
boa constructor.
"The chickens cannot be killed before
they are fed TO the snake or he won't
eat them, and he won't eat anything
else" said Miss Westlake. Besides,
there's no cruelty, because the chickens
are dead before they know what's hap
pening TO them

Work for September:
The war was largely won by advertising
The Liberty Loans were sold because

Many of us will never forget the appeal
of the poster in which little boy was de-
picted as asking his father, "And what
did you do in the great war, Daddy"
Raemakers wonderful cartoons, re-
produced as advertisements, had tre-
mendous influence in arosuing men and

proved, it has been dignified its psy-
