THE BEET SUGAR FACTORY The Holland-St. Louis Sugar com 1 pany. after an investigation of several months, has decided on Adaffis county as the best place for their third beet ‘ sugar plant. It will be the first con-1 cern of the kind in Indiana and will; be an honor not to be "sneezed at." We can have it if we come up to the occasion. The verdict means that the best lands in the world lie right here at our door, the best class of farmers to be found anywhere are a jrart of our community. Now they are given an opportunity to work a little harder and make more money, increase the value of their lands, put Adams county on the map as the best county in the state. It's a big thing, too big to pass up. Let every man be a booster, let's talk beets and nothing but' beets for two weeks, and we will land an industry that will help every man. woman and child in the county. This is a progressive age, we either move forward or we back up. there’s no room for ' you, there's no hope for you, if you are not an optimist. You're living in the midst of the most marvelous of all periods, but you’re on the threshold of au era that will dwarf the biggest j and best of today into significance. Decatur and Adams county can march in the front rank from this time on. The building of this plant means the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars for labor and to the farmer. A blind man can see that such a thing wiirhelp us all irf a hundred ways. Up on your toes. The bugle has sounded and the man who shirks now, deserves to loose. NOTICE. (Regular meeting of the F. & A.
