that some growers will begin
digging beets on Saturday.
Plans are that Slicing will
begin Wednesday, Sept. 20, he

dependent upon the amount of
beets received by that time.
An estimated 10000 tons of
beets will be p%rocessed this fall,
according to L. r. Cool of the
factory's agricultural depart
ment. Of the total approximate
ly $4,000 tons will come from
the Miles City district and the
remainder from the Hardin

RippHng
OF the Rivers

Quite a number of years ago.
the mayor of our home town. q
small village in this section OF
Montana, became irked at hav-
ing the towns speed limit signs
ignored.
Said mayor, a man of action,
was the proprietor of a garage
and implement sales establish
ment on Main street. One sunny
afternoon he hitched a tractor
to a pillow and ploWed a furrow
across the main stem at the
towns mid-section. It got re-
suits. Traffic was slowed con-
Siderably in the center of town
for some time.
OF course, the system wasn't
approved by highway officials
and had to be discontinued. but
it certainly did the job while
it was in operation.
We are reminded of that little
incident every time we see a
Speeder in Hardin, and espec-
iallY around the grade school
building. The local enforcement
officers are doing a fine job,
we think, and we quite often
see a speeder caught. But the
police have manv duties and
can't devote all their time to
that small district of the city.
An officer is almost ALWAYS there
during the time the children are
going to and coming from
school.
We wouldn't advocate the
furrow method, but we wish it
were possible for the city to
emplov q full-timo speed COO,
who didn't have other duties to
attend to-.

Still we plunge ahead seek ing to attain greater speeds. Before too many years passed it is probable that commercial air liners will be moving faster than sound
 We aren't certain just what part this mania for speed plays in mans program for self -betterment We fail to see clearly why the today's human race expects to be happier because it move more swiftly than any living thing which preceded it. No one ever has explained to how the reduction of distances through speed, contributes toward mans complete and ultimate contentment And that, ac- cordng the best Greek philosophers is the goal of human endeavor
 It gives us sense of well being, perhaps. to know that in emergencies fly from here to there in the nick of time. But it is disturbing to know that potential enemies also can from there to here with equal swftness Speed, in it's material aspects has both satisfying and disturbing elements.
 It is interesting to contemplate, from time to tme the possibility of modern world minus the modern devices for speed.

 There is nothing likely to lose more votes among doctors than compulsory health insurance. Yet the other day. President Truman, comforting with representatives of the American Hospital Association went right down the line for com- pulsory health insurance and seem- ed to have some pretty good argu- ments to back him up. Both sides got rather hot under the collar about it.
 Hospital Association President Graham Davis started the argu- ment by warning Truman that compulsory insurance would in hibit the activities of voluntary hospitals. Half of the $6,000, ,000,- GOO spent annually on American hospitals, Davis warned, is con- trihuted by private philanthropy ' istS

 Davis retorted that the United States is the healthiest nation in the world. Then, playing his trump card, he flashed letter which he had received from the President himself.
