Of this tragedy between them. Jenny
cried in deep anger:

Marin Pierce said evasively: Blame

"Oh, Zeke's to blame" Jenny con-

Suddenly Standing Cause
of Increase in Weight

A man standing up suddenly when
excited weighs twice as much as when
sitting down quietly. This fact has to
be taken into consideration when race
course and football stands are built,
says the Milwaukee Journal.
For example, grandstand is being
built to accommodate 200 people.
This number might represent a weight
Of $50 tons-that is, If they could be
relied on to sit still all the time. But

as. on occasion, almost all of them
might be standing up at the same time
and, In addition, leaning forward and
perhaps swaying together, they had to
be treated as weighing quite 300 tons.
The stresses set up by the move
ments Of live loads have been closely
investigated. Men have been placed on
the platforms of scales and made to
crouch and then stand upright. 1t was
found that the act of, standing up from
crouch added 81 per cent to mans
weight. Getting up from chair added
20 per cent to his weight.

Will Receive
Xmas Turkeys
Big Horn Co. Turkey Growers
Assn Will Assemble For Mar
ket Tuesday,, Dec. 3.

On Tuesday, Dec. 3, the Big
Horn County Turkey Growers as
ISOLATION will receive and assemble
turkeys for the Christmas market,
according to arrangements made
at the annual meeting of the as
ISOLATION last Saturday.
A large shipment of turkeys is
expected at this time according
to the reports from turkey pro-
ducers. ~
Turkeys will be received at the
dance hall on the county fair
grounds at Hardin, beginning at
900 o'clock a.. m.
Turkey producers of the county
are urged to brine only turkeys
that are we'll finished. Use care
in selecting those that are we'll
fleshed and we'll dressed with
fewest possible pin feathers.
Another shipment will be made
early in January to take the later
birds. A few points to remember
in picking turkeys for the U. S.
grades, which determine the price
of the turkeys, are given by Geo.
w. Gustafson, county agent, as
follows:
Starve birds at least ~ to IS
hours before killing, crop must
be empty: cool birds "a hours be-
fore delivery to the pool; pick all
pin feathers. To grade prime, the
birds must be we'll bled. Be sure
the person who does the killing
knows how to bleed the turkeys.
Many birds are spoiled in ap-
pearance bv being nlucked over
the hips too soon. Pick tail ana
wing feathers first. The birds
must be practically free from pin
feathers for prime grade.
Dents and crooks in breast bone,
if too rrominent. will lower the
grade. Finally, feet. heads and
vent must be cleaned. The birds
are in mack several weeks before
sold land filthy feet might spoil
the meat. Leave no feathers on
wing tips.

of the ceremony were Mrs. Kitty

object in these ceremonies to give
an idea of the Indian worship ser

close of the medicine song the
missionary and interpreter, Frank
Shane, appeared on the scene,
seeking admission into the camp
in order to tell about the chris

Then there was a discussion as to
whether they would leave the old
ways of worship for the christian
way. Nearer My God To Thee
was sung in the Crow tongue, and
the closing scene found the group
kneeling about the campfire in
PRAYER.
Those taking part in the service
from the Indian church did re-
narkably well. From the view

had received new light on the

TITS NO Bluff" A BIG
R COUNTY Beet MEN

readers of the Western Progress
sive all over the state to know
we don't bluff down in Big Horn
county and we want Mr.. Nelson
to know that the conditions in
1910 don't fit our conditions to-
day.
We say if the Holly won't
build it, We'll build it ourselves,
and we mean every word of it.
MI. c. E. Mcconnell, during
October, 1914, spent a week in
Hardin as a representative of the
Sheridan chamber of commerce,
soliciting beet acreage for a fac
tory at Sheridan, the chamber
having guaranteed a sugar COM
pany to invest $150.O 600 in stock,
donate a factory site and guar
antee at least 5000 acres of beets
grown the next year. In order to
do this they wanted Big Horn
county to grow 500 to 1000 acres.
During January, 1915, the Sher-
idan chamber of commerce sent
two representatives to Hardin to
solicit beet acreage, as we'll as a
representative of the San Luis
Valley Beet Sugar company in
an effort to get that company
to move a factory from Monte
Vista, Colorado, there. This COM
oany declined to move its fac
tory.
About the first of March, 1915,
MI. Sinsheimer and Mr.. McGin-
Miss OF Denver, representing the
Holly Sugar Company, together
with representatives of the Sher-
'idan chamber visited Hardin and
held a meeting with growers here.
At that meeting these Holly rep
resentatives suggested that we
grow beets for Sheridan for u
while, until their territory was
developed and our transporta-
ton problem of the valley was
worked out, and then we would
have a factory.
On March 18th. following, We
were informed a 600-ton capac-
ity factory would be built at
Sheridan to grind that years
beets and the Holly requested we
grow all the beets possible to
help out Sheridan on their prom
Uses.
In 1915 we grew less than $50
acres of beets, but since that
time we have gradually increas-
ed our acreage until this wear
we have grown approximately T.
500 acres out of $500 acres grown
for the factory this year. OF the
1900 acres grown in Wyoming,
the Clearmont district grew a2-
proximately 1000 acres and the
Sheridan district about 300.
In 1915 we were to supply a
few beets to help out Sheridan
production. Each year we have
grown more and the Sheridan
district. where the factory is To-
c Gated, less.
Big Horn county has one hun
bred ten thousand acres of irri-
gated land and we have enough

land within an average haul OF
j. miles of Hardin to produce
