We wish to repeat something we
may have said before: Don't base
your vote on whether you like a
candidate personally. Try to put
your tastes and your likes and dis
likes out of the question and de-
eide whether or not that person
will make good in the office to which
he or she aspires. Take little time
to consider your own inclination in
the matter and see if you are decid-
ing for or against the candidate on
the color of the hair or the size or
shape of the nose or some personal
feature o. attribute, and if so, that is
not using good political sense. Per-
haps you have a personal liking
for the candidate and feel that you
would like to do that person a ia
vor, and on that account you. have
decided to vote for him or her. That
is political folly. Get it on the right
basis by deciding whether that per-
son is capable of doing the work

and kept out. The action of the
root system boring down to a possi-
BILE depth of six feet keeps them
transforming the elements of the
soil into plant food and the soil be-
comes finer and richer every year.
In the beet-raising districts of
france and Belgium the soil had
been steadily improving for eighty
years when the Krupp monsters be-
gan tearing it up in 1914. The yield
Of crops kept steadily increasing thru
all the years, and our government
crop reports as far back as I can
remember kept reciting the fact that
in Europe the yield was increasing
while ours was decreasing. They said
it was due to the more intensive
cultivation" in Europe or to more
thoro cultivation The average
American probably did not get cor
rect impression of what that meant.
He probably thought it meant deeper
blowing. jhoeing oftener, hoeing ear
ly in the morning and late at night,
cultivating after every shower or
sub-soiling it all with shovel.
don't know what you thought when
you read the government reports of
J. j. Hills interviews about the in
creased yield in Europe, but to me
it was not an attractive subject, and
| suppose am an average Ameri-
can. When was a boy there was
a period of several summers when
was very much dissatisfied because
life was not made up of short fish
ing trips and adventures with a re-
peating rifle. My parents were peo-

mind all the information could &C

Taking it one day with another,
wasn't that about the way they put

The first season 1 convinced myself

here, and reported that it was
worth $88 an acre to raise them.
Judge Sample, who conducted sim

farm, reported in the fall that it
would cost SIS an acre to raise them.

SAINT production by the need Of making
money. Although his wealthy moth
er's purse was open to him. her dis
approval Of his marriage and his work
was SO lrritatlngly expressed that he
finally had to refuse her assistance.
The consequent driving necessity ac-
counted somewhat for his facility and
his quick sense of what the public was
going to like next.
BY means Of sparkling epigram in
his fashionable novel, "Pelham," he
early achieved reputation as a man
Of the world. He then occupied himself
with the crime-nOvel and the romance
Of mystery. The satire OF Thackeray
and others In Fraser's Magazine drove
him away from the field Of burglary
and homicide, and he delved into his
tory for subjects. This produced ssThe
Last Days Of POmpeii," "Rienzi' and
s"The Last OF the Bar0ns." In ssThe
CaxtOns" he founded the ttrue cult Of
the colonies" This and two more Of
his best works responded to the pOpu-
lar demand for domestic novels. Tales
of terror next attracted the public and
Bulwer created a sensation by fsThe
Strange story" which came to him In
a dream, and 'aThe Haunted and the
Haunters,0 one of the most perfect
ghost stories In English literature.
Finally, he wrote novels and satires
Of society. His very versatility per-
haps prevented his digging deeply into
reality.

Beets, Politics and Progress
By Byrd Trego
CHAPTER TX.
Died of Homesickness
CHAPTER TX.

Just about a hundred years agc
man named Scott, who was travel
ing with a party of trappers in thu
Rocky mountains, became extremely
homesick and lost interest in every
thing else but home. He got TOT
homesick to eat and when the party
was on the upper reaches of thu
Platte river they abandoned him OF
the trail, promising to come bacl
for him, which they never did. The,
thought he would die. where he lay
but he crawled ON his hands anG
knees forty miles up the river be-
fore he died of starvation and grief
That place was called Scott's bluff
and is now the site Of a successful
sugar factory.
Thriving ON Sugar Farms
SCOTS Bluff is in western Nebras
ka, and in launching the sugar indus
try there they had trouble in get.
ting people to do the hand labor
They gradually assent led Russian
families who were great workers
and those people solved the hand la.
Dor problem. The whole family
would work, and if mother had a
baby too young to be left alone lone
she would take it to the field with
her, place it in some kind of shell
ter, make one round across the field
and back, thinning, wedding or hoe
ing beets, and then nurse the baby
and go another round. The sugar
company, seeing these things, had
tiny tents made just large enough to
shield mother and baby sitting down
and every mother and baby received
a baby tent. They found the Rus
slams a very devout people, and
wherever the company could get
enough of them together to make
it worth while, they built church
and employed priest of their own
faith and race to look after spirit
ual matters. These Russians came,
they stayed, they made money and
they paid.
Beautiful Peasant Girl
One very beautiful peasant girl
was induced to go into the home
of the superintendent temporarily
as maid, and she could cook and
keep house SO we'll that they put
her in charge of the house for the
winter. In the spring, as soon as
the beets sprouted, she gave notice
that she would like to leave her po-
sition as housekeeper. She was re-
ceiving good wages and she liked
the place and everything was all
right and pleasant, ''but then you
know" she said, 1T is springtime
now and the beets are coming up, and
/ could not be content to remain in
the house and let the others do all
the work" So she took to the beet
fields with the others, and toiled
early and late thinning, wedding
and hoeing the sugar beets where
she could enjoy life.
The people at Scott's Bluff are
thrifty and when they have earned
their money they take good care of
it. They build good houses and
barns, ride in fine autos and take
the family along when they go out
for pleasure.

listen to an English nObleman
paint picture Of the rise in his
country Of that trading bour-
geoisie which Is SO much in the talk
of today. The leaders in the strife are
Edward the Fourth, trader-king, and
Richard Neville, earl of Warwick, king
maker and "Last of the Barons."
Around them cluster the lives of many
others In the great struggle. The
scene is set for the Battle of Barnet.
April IA, 1471, in the Wars of the
Roses.
Raw, cold and dismal dawned the
morning of the fourteenth of April, the
Easter Sabbath. In the fortunes of
that day were involved those Of all
the persons who hitherto, in the course
of this narrative. may have seemed
TO move in separate orbits from the
fiery star of Warwick Now, in this
browning hour, the vast and gigantic
destiny of the great earl comprehend
ed all upon which its darkness or it's
light had fallen; not only the luxuri-
Gus Edward, the perjured Clarence,
the naughty Margaret, her gallant son,
the gentle Anne, the remorseful lisa
bel, the dark guile of Gloucester, the
rising fortunes of gifted Hastings
but on the hazard Of that day rested
the hopes of Hilyard, and the interests
of the trader Alwyn, and the perma-
hence of that frank, chivaIric, hardy,
still half Norman race, of which Mich
olas Alwyn and his Saxon class were
the rival antagonisfc principle, and
Narmadnke Neville the ordinary type.
Dragged memorable into the whirlpool
of that mighty fate were even the very
lives of the simple scholar, Adam
Warner, of his obscure and devoted
child, Sibyll. Here, into this CORY
ocean, all scattered rivulets and
streams had hastened to merge at last.
"But grander and more awful than
all individual interests We're those as
signed to the fortunes Of this battle,

fall of that warlike baronage, of which

excess, it is true. but with the proud

early history; with all such liberty as

Failures at Nampa

About fifteen years ago a beet
sugar factory was erected at Nampa,
Idaho, and when the building was
completed they had housewarm-
ing or dedication, and at the ban
quet there were toasts and re-
sponses, and one speaker accepted an
invitation to be there and to speak,
and he spoke slightingly Of peo-
pie who would bend their backs to
do the hard work of a beet crop.
He did not mean to speak sighting
ly Of labor itself, perhaps, but here
is what he did say, and you can Judge
whether 1t was a profitable remark
to make: 'In bringing this new
community, you bring in with it a
class of people who are the hewers
Of wood and carriers of water, and |
question whether it is a desirable
thing for community to do, bid
ding for this lower type of citi-
zenship."
4 A Killing Remark
If Chat remark had to be made,
it were better he had made it be-
fore the factory was located or held
his peace at the banquet. l don't
know whether it bred contempt for
beet work in the Nampa country, but
the factory never prospered, because
people did not raise enough beets to
support it. 1t may not have had
any connection whatever with what
was said at the banquet, but Nampa
farmers have never received the
benefits of the beet industry. Their
soil is not receiving the loosening
and fertilizing that a beet crop
brings to it, and the other crops
which they would have rotated with
beets have not received the stimu-
lating effect that beets have on
them. In the old world they used to
raise turnips and mangel wurtzels
to benefit the soil, and if they did
not do that they let the land lie
idle every fourth year so they could
let a crop of weeds start to grow
to loosen up the soil and then pull
them up by hand before the seeds
matured, or pillow them all under to
kill them and to get the humus into
the soil. This was an expense and
they received no crop at all in re-
turn. If they chose the turnip
method to get the same results, they
fed the turnips to the stock, and in
order to kill the weeds they had to
do an infinite amount of hand work
hoeing and pulling the weeds. No
matter how they did it they suf-
fered loss on the land every fourth
year.

and came to be understood, they
