THE EXPANDING STORE.

These are times when in all kinds
of enterprises there are consoI-
idations and absorption of small
units into large ones. In the
manufacturing business, the
tendency is for small concerns to
be swallowed up by the larger
ones, because the latter by sub
division of labor can do business
more economically.
The same tendencf exists in re
tail trade. In order to meet the
needs of the time, a store needs
to grow There are too many
small stores that can't do busi-
ness enough to do it economic
ally.
A store that is thorougly up to
growth so it can serve the pub
lie efficiently. But the only
way it can grow is to prove that
it offers superior. service And
the only way'tO convince people
of that fact, is to describe its
business, methods. prices and
goods by advertising. When you
see an advertised store. you see
one that conforms to the tend
ency of the times and is ex-
panding to meet the demand for
economical service.

PLANTING OF
MORE BEErS.
Manager Stevenson of the Swink
Plant Advises Planting Beets.

In letter to the Chieftain, Mana
ger Stevenson of the Swink plant
of the Holly Sugar Corporation has
the following to say regarding the
planting of beets for the season of
1921.
There is unquestionably large
area of alfalfa in PrOwers county
on which the stand of alfalfa is very
poor, weeds having choked out the
alfalfa. and the returns from such
land must. from necessity, be far
lower than from land on which the
stand of alfalfa is first class. This
land with poor stands is the land
that should be broken out.
! would not urge any farmer in
any locality to plow up a good
stand Of alfalfa except under one
condition and that would be that
his entire acreage We're seeded to
alfalfa. 1t is never wise to put all
your eggs in one basket and. as
has been shown this year. an en-
tire farm seeded to alfalfa would
have been a good deal more dis
astrous than if the crops on the
same place had been prOpOrtioned
along sound business lines.
As time goes on, farmers will more
and more see the advantage of
raising uniform acreage Of beets
every year and rotating theii.
ground with alfalfa, grains and.
where possible, vine crops.
The planting of beets not to ex
ceed three years in the same ground
will work in very nicely with ro-a
tation system and assure to the
farmer crop which will always
be marketable and upon which, If
necessary. he can usually obtain a
little money during the growing
season.
In connection with such rota-
tation it will be found very advan-
tageous for both landlords and
tenants to construct upon their
premises small adobe house OF
say two. rooms. each about l2x12
for the purpose of housing labor
which is required to take care Of
the hand work on the beets. If
this were done |. feel confident that
a labor shortage would never occur
and that, in addition to having
more for beet work, there would be
labor available for anything else
which the farmer might want done
on his place

The Lyccum Entertainers gave
the second number OF the Lyceum
course last evening at the High

A male quartette always pleases
and these young men fully pleased
the good audience which was pres

of the old favorites inter1ningled
with the latest song success. AL
together they presented as good a
program as could be presented by
any quartette of young men. The
next number, the Artists Trio. is
