Field samples taken each Mon
day morning the past four weeks
indicate a good quality of sugar
beet. The weight of the beets
are slightly under the samples of
last year, but the sugar content
and purity of the beets are en-
~couraging for an above average
crop.
The 1855 beet crop was the
second highest tonnage per acre
in the history of the Sidney fac
tory, yielding an average of 1885
tons per acre. Even though the
weight samples are a little light
er than last year, the 1855 crop
is expected to yield an average
of between IA and is tons per
acre. 1t Is possible, weather be-
ing favorable, that the 1855 crop
could very closely approach the
record yield of 1855. The 1855
sl1cing campaign will last as long
as the 1855 campaign when bet
ter than 1000 tons of beets
were sliced. Last year the mill
ran until January 18th.
Labor supply for the factory is
good. In fact, more applications
have been made than there are
jobs. A few jobs ON beet dumps
IN outlying districts are still open,
particularly in the Fairview area.
Men wishing to secure jobs on
these stations can contact field
man r. A. Atchison at Sidney.
At the present time, it is hard
to estimate the amount of live
stock that will be fed in the
Lower Yellowstone Valley. It is
certain nor cattle will be fed
than in past years, but the high
price of feeder lambs and the
narrow price spread between
feeder lambs and fat lambs has
delayed shipments of feeder
lambs to this r With improv-
ments in the market, this picture
could quickly change.

Over 1000 rs
Voters Regl.ter
For Election

Over 1860 new voters are reg
istered in Richland county for the
general election in November,
Mrs. Elma Hooker, county clerk
and recorder, informs The Her
aid. This makes approximately
1900 voters in the county eligible
to go to the polls at this time as
compared with 1881 in the 1854
general election and 4376 in the
1852 general election. The quail
fled voter registration for the
1855 primary election held in
June was 1908.
Percentage-wise, 87% of the
4376 voters registered for the
1852 election actually cast their
ballots, while 1857 of the 4381
registered voters for the 1854
election went to the polls. In the
1856 primary election only $685.
of the registered voters cast their
ballots.
In the past several weeks a
consistent drive has been made
to increase the voting power in
the county as much as possible
for the forthcoming general cleo
ton without regard to partisan
interests with the result that the
registration is greater at its close
this week than at any time since
the organization of Richland
county in 1914.
1t is felt certain the new reg
istrants mean to vote in this cleo
ton and all qualified voters in
the county are urged to do SO as
a mark of good citizenship.

Kiwanis Benefit
Apple Sale
Kickoff Oct. 4

Al Johns, chairman of the
apple sales committee has an
nounced that the big "kick-off''
for the annual fall Kiwanis apple
sale will be October 4th.
The captains of the four teams
are already at work lining up
their team members and Installing
enthusiasm for a successful cam
paign that will result in a con-
tinued benefit program for east
ern Montana and Western North
Dakota youth.
The funds derived from this
annual sale are placed in a sep
arate fund to be used strictly for
the benefit of the youth of the
area which is limited only to the
extent of the funds that the XII
wants club has available for that
purpose. During 1856 the club
has spent, or has earmarked for
expenditure, a total of approx
mately $4,000 for this program.
This includes expenditures for the
underprivileged children, voca-
tional guidance, the Easter Egg
hunt, annual kids day and scout
ing activities. Each year the XII
wanians are hard put to decide
how to limit their expenses and
yet take care of those needs
which are the most worthy.
The people in this area can
do their part for the welfare and
benefit of their youth by pur-
chasing a box of Kiwanis apples
when the sale gets under way
next week.

Christmas Street
Decoration Help
Called For

The Sidney Chambers Mer-
chant Committee and Jaycee
Christmas Decoration committee
have completed plans for a new
system. The Chamber is pur-
chasing decorations which the
Jaycees have agreed to install. A
special appeal is being made 70
help on installing the new sys-
tenn this coming Sunday. Volun-
teer workers r. asked to contact
Frank Brattin at 2 p. m.
The following letter was sent
out this week to business con-
Germs from the Chamber office,
according to Chamber Merchant
Committee Chairman Syl Bfattin:
Re: Christmas Street
Decorations
The present overhead Christ
mas lighting system is badly de-
Perforated and cannot be used
this year. A new Christmas street
decoration plan has been ap-
proved - an ~"across the street
stringer" of fir roping with two
20" lighted plastic bells or stars.
Eventually, a third ornament
would be added at the middle of
the string. This is permanent type
decorations.
We have ordered Is bells and
IL stars, enough for fifteen
strings - nine on Central and
six on Main. For uniformity, we
want two in each block between
intersections. The cost will run
nearly $1,000, and probably the
same for two more years to COM
plete the city plan"
The Jaycees will install and
Will erect new guy wires, starting
this coming Sunday. Harvey OIL
denberg has had considerable ex-
p~erience in sign erection on build
ings. The Jaycees advise that
other competent men will assist
assure proper erection.
Cooperation is essential - the
Joint Jaycee-Chamber Merchants
committee asks your cooperation
in placing of the strings to as
sure the best appearing Christ
mas decoration spacing. Your adj
vice and supervision is solicited.
If a fairly good spacing ar
-angement cannot be arranged,
If permission isn't given to
erect the across street cable or
suy wire, this project may have
be dropped. That means an
'ther years delay in Christmas
decorations, so urgently
needed.

a life free from the worry o.
the draft - which would NEAR
up to two years of solid military
training on an active duty basis.
The RIA program is producing
in a remarkably short time, a
young man who has an under
standing of the worldwide re-
sponsibilities of the United States,
together with a thorough under
standing of the reasons why his
military service is essential to
the nations welfare, and a thor
ough comprehension of the Re-
serve Program and his obliga-
tons thereto.
The businessmen attending this
tour were very highly impressed
by the RIA program and the way
in which our young men r be-
ing handled, taught and trained.
They have all signified that they
will be more than glad to dis
cuSs the program and its opera
ton with any young men who
might be interested, or with their
parents.

Eagles Trip Hovre;
At Glasgow Friday

through the tired Havre line to
block it.
Sidney had first and goal on
the six but then old fumblitis
took over.
The Blue Ponies regained pos
session and had moved to their
own 38 as time ran out.
The Sidney strong defense was
the deciding factor in this game.
The end play of Brent Potts and
Jerry Christensen, tackles Gene
Sattler and Tyler Jensen and
center play of Bob Potts was
outstanding. Sophomore Brent
Potts was put in as a sub and
was SO impressive he played most
of the game. Jensen, the Eagles
regular fullback, was terrific in
his first play in the line. Con-
tinuing his defensive shakeup
Coach Shading had Dick Helten,
Jack Marion, John Marman and
Doyle Dotson backing up the line
and the change proved very sue
cessful. Safety men Tom and
Ron Quilting did an equally fine
job of intercepting pass and
knocking down five more.
Extensively quarterback Quill
ling had the best average per
carry gaining SO yards in eight
attempts for a 10 yard average.
Halfback John Marman was the
work-horse gaining II yards in
II attempts for a as average.
Doyle Dotson picked up "a on
10 trys, Tyler Jensen 26 in 10
and Gary Bracken two in one.

ing Glasgow, the plane flew to

LP NewsfeatureS Writer
: What is it like to be with the
circus? Ask 16-year-old girl who
was born with it, Francesca Bis
bini, 16. of Sarasota, Florida, and
she will tell you it's glamorous but
hard work like anything else that
is worthwhile. Says Francesca:
Always there is something to
do. When you are not doing two
shows a day, you practice. You
must learn to do everything from
juggling to being an aerialist If
you'd be a real performer.
Francesca doesn't regret her
hard work with the Ringing Bro
theirs show. It's just that every
body else in her family brother,
sister, father and mother have ac-
complished the most and Francesca
still has a little way to go, even
though she has a part in several of
the circus acts-aerial and juggl-
ing.
TT wouldn't do" she says, Ito
try to do everything overnight. The
most important thing in the circus
is to learn speciality and for that
you need lots of practice"
The lovely brown-eyed Fran
cesca who looks like a budding
movie starlet adores the horses but
she can leave the elephants alone.
Not too dependable" she says,
so I'll probably never have an act
with them"
Clowns are the most fun i'm cir
Gus life, she says, just as interest
ing a part of the big happy circus
family out of the spotlight as un-
der it. And Francesca has favor
ite clown called Chuck"
Francesca was born with the
circus in Italy where her mother
and father did fancy aerial act.
They also ride horses and juggle.
Her father has an act with the cir
Gus now although Nom is at home
this season caring for a little
brother.
When I get back to Sarasota in
between tours and go back to ST.
Marthas School I'll be baby-sit-
ter again" says Francesca. That
takes more out of you than being
with the circus"
Francesca's sister, Antoinette,
who does a juggling act with her
brother just married a circus man,
fulfilling the circus trend to keep
ing the circus in the family.
Francesca enjoyed being brides
maid for her sister and wore a
lovely blue dress, but she adores
the orange dress she wears in her
circus act and always feels better
in circus clothes.
What does she do when she's
not practicing or performing I?
Mostly / read books and watch
TV", she says. After all when you
are with the circus where you get
the greatest entertainment in the
world, you don't have to seek a.
musement when you are away
