INVESTIGATING ALASKA
 SUGAR BEATS, INTERIOR

Of particular interest to the farmers in this and the Interior district is the news that there is now in the Fair banks region a gentleman by the name
 of De Long, who is representing a
 group of Idaho sugar beet growers. It is said, by recent arrivals in Sew ard that MT. De Long has already made arrangements in Fairbanks for large test of beets growing in that district. The outcome of the test will be of considerable interest to people residing in this portion of the Terri tory which is said to be very adapti- ble for the raising of sugar beet crops. During the past few years there has appeared among the Idaho beet crops, an insect which practically ruins the the growth. It is said that the pest is unknown in Alaska and for that reason the present investigation is being carried on

BENNINGTON AVE.
 REPAIRS STARTING Ruts and Holes Being Filled by
 State Highway Dept. BEECH SWAMP ROAD NEXT
Nid-Week Services in Two Churches This Eycning-AuXiliary to Meet Tonight to Hear Legion Official Sneak on Fire Question,

Highway repairs which have i'm uroved conditions consi lorably and which have been going on over the roads of the town during the past two weeks. today reached the worst stretch of the whole road system which includes the highway from the Berlin underpass to the bridge spanning the Mattahesset river Fill ing in deen ruts with sand and pre- pairing for oiling operations occu- pied the efforts of gang ot seven men and a foreman and it is prob able that the end of the week will soc the worst spots in the local road system temporarily remedicd.
 Local hopes are high in connec- ton with the promised highway which IS scheduled to be laid 'hls spring over the main route from New Britain to WorthlnGton ridge. Surveyors have visited the territory and have completed their work m laying out the proposed lines Tor the new permanent highway.
 Last September the highway com mission called for bids for the new highway and intimated that the road would be laid in the spring Of 1877. A cost of about S20.ooO was estl- mated for the new road, and the old base on the Beech swamp route being termed inadequate for the new highway.
 The action on the new highway followed activity by local and New Britain authorities for the eStab fishing of a suitable thcroughfare between the two places. At the time the appropriation was passed. state officials gave out the informa- ton that three or four years would be necessary before Berlin was aid cd by the new highway. The action of the board last autumn came as complete surprise and huoyed up hearts of indignant motorists who have been shortening the life of their cars by daily pounding over the rutty roads.
 While no definite promises have been made by the highway commits sion 1t is generally believed that the first of April will see some activities towards the laying of the permanent road.
 Blue Hills residents, encouraged by the relief promised by the state commission, have decided to stress the need of the reconditioning of the back route to Meriden. This prob lem has also received an appropria- tion in the state legislature in the 1925 session. but activities in that locality were postponed for q five year period. IL is the hope of the Blue Hillians that the commission will give that district the same sur prise it gave the Berlin residents when 1t announced its unexpected action. Conditions in Blue Hills, while not as needy as those on the Beech Swamp Pennington avenue route. are deserving of immediate action by the state highway con- mission

The Turks and Serbs came in for considerable commendation from i Captain Mchaffey who stated that he
 found the peoples 10 be the most
 honorable of all foreigners with whom he had dealings. He called Athens one of the dirtiest cities that he has ever seen, there being no water system of aHy sort although
 the city has more than a quarter million inhabitants. All of the water for drinking and other purposes is carted through the streets in tank Wagons.
 Captain Mehaffey described Smyr- na as the pret'iest city in the far cast or rather 1t was before it was burned during the Turk and Greek war. In his own opinion the captain laid the blame for the burning Of smyrna to the Greeks rather than the Turks as the Turks were driving
 the Greeks out to regain their own
 homes in smyrna Tho Greeks on leaving. he believed set fire to the city rather than have the Turks
 have their old homes. He descrih- ed RagCs", city in Serbia. as the most picturesque Of "'l Balkan cities.

NEW YORK, July 16.-Continuance
Of showery or rainy weather in the
South, with increasing apprehensions
OF boil weevil damage, appeared re-
sponsible for active general buying
and a sharp advance in the cotton
market today. Prices for all positions
made new high ground for the move.
ment, October contracts selling up to
1884 and March to 1910, or 80 to 80
points net higher on the general list.
October closed at 1880 and March at
1902. The general market closing
steady, at net advances of 20 to "a
points.
The opening was firm at an advance
OF 2 to IL points on higher Liverpool
cables and reports of showers or rains
in the Eastern belt. The initial figures
attracted good deal of realizing and
there were setbacks of a few points
after the call, but offerings were read
lily absorbed. and the market later
advanced on broadening demand
which seemed to include trade buying
as well as covering, and buying by
commission houses.
Both Liverpool and the continent
were credited with buying here presum-
ably on an increasingly serious view
OF unfavorable features in the new
crop outlook and the extent Of the
demand which absorbed heavy week
end realizing suggested that some
thing Of a crop scare had developed.
July sold up to 1905 and December
to 1879, while May advanced to 1872.
Closing prices were within 3 or
points Of the best on most positions.
The weather map showed more rain
fall in the Eastern belt, while the
outlook was for continued showers
over Sunday at a time when warm.
dry weather Is believed to be very
badly needed to hold the boil weevil
in check.
Private cable advices from Liver
pool said there had been active cover
ing and buying for London and con-
tinental account in the market there
based on fear that weather advices
foreshadowed damage to the crop.
The advance here met some South.
ern selling. part Of which was believed
to be by trade interests for the pur-
pose of hedging against prospective
new crop receipts. but the bulk of the
offerings were attributed to week end
profittaking.
The amount Of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at 10000 bales
against $4,000 last year.
Cable advices from Manchester said
cloth and yarn prices were hardening.
