That proposition of 5,000 acres of beets under contract looked big a week ago. Now it looks easier earn day. We can do anything when we think so, and we sure all think we can I do this. Mr. Farmer —Have you contracted to raise beets next year. If not, you ought to. Don't let it be said of you that you are not as progressive as your neighbor. You owe it not only to yourself, but to your community and to your children. Subsidy elections are being held today in Wabash and Monroe townships of this county, whereby if carried the interurban railray will receive suffi- | cient money in taxes to secure the I rights-of-way and the depots along the ■ line from Decatur to Geneva. Sixteen sugar factories began oper- i ations in Colorado October 1. Thousands of men and women will be employed steadily for several months and millions of dollars will be distributed to the wage-earners and sugar beet farmers. —Huntington Herald.

ingenuity, to succeed a generation ago, because there were not one-tenth the facilities, one-tenth the opportunities, nor one-tenth as much information or one-fifth as much population upon which to draw as there is now? It's the truth. This Is the greatest age* of all time. Don't slip backward. Keep on moving forward. The farmer shculd certainly not hesitate to sign contracts for beet acreage. A factory is being placed at bis door that will do more for future generations as well as the living one. than any thing done here in a half century. The farming of beets helps your land in various ways, the most important being that you plow deep, and consequently instead of taking the fertility out of only a fewinches of the surface you farm the soil a foot deep, thus prolonging the life thereof. It's UP to the farmers of Adams county to say whether or not we have this factory. What is your verdict? I NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE. Notice is hereby given that 1. Wil liam .1.

In a I mystery lunch contest, the prize was won by Miss Vernia Smith and in a , i package feeling contest. Miss Bailey | came out with first honors.

' Growing is one of its strong points. ■ Beets grow with a definite purpose in ' view and incidentally accomplish said I purpose. Beets are secure in the pos- I session of divine quality. Its divinity is expressed in the magic sweetness 1 of its disposition. The beet is exceedingly tenacious of its rights and prerog 1 atives and yields them only after most crushing pressure. Paradoxically the ' beet courts this crushing pressure. •' hence the need of an SBOO,OOO crusher. s Beets are a native of some other place ' ■ but have recently moved to a better ' . location in Indiana. The beet is a modest flower or veg etable or shrub, as the case may be, ’ : and bids for fame solely on its mer its. It is industrious, painstaking and 1 frugal. The beet is not adverse to 1 : getting up in the middle of the night ; to expand its chest. The beet is of a friendly nature and neighbors easily I with corn, wheat, oats and barley. , but in fact affiliates with the same church as Indian maize. The beet doesn’t really song up to the waving j tassel and golden grain effusions, bin when it comes to results has Brother Com decidedly shocked and Neighbor Wheat threshed to a frazzle. The beet in its native element has a green look at moststagesofthe game, but it is deceiving in appearance as its business end is exerting itself largely in the I basement. The beet when properly coached de- | velops considerably as a presti- i digitator. It takes a few of its seeds, | scatters them rather niftly over a ten acre patch of dirt and next fall hands | out a certificate of deposit from the ' local bank that makes Pa safer with I Christmas so blame near, and also . 1 makes him lie like the deuce to the I tax assessor. The beet has many vir- -' tues: some sins perhaps, but in time ' they shall all be washed away (even ' if it takes 41)0,000 gallons a day.) The I beet is not amphibious, but it takes to . water like a duck. The beet has one * very serious rival in what is known , as Cane, but .it is evident that in time will be able to Be —to outclass it. The i beet is a great generator. It generates ( enthusiasm, hope, joy. uneasiness, i fear, jealousy, effort and loss of appr ( tite. The beet encourages civic right- I eousness and turns a whole commun- ( tty into fellow lodge' l members wlr, | al' use the same signs and pass-words. 1 The beet is a stayer and when once io- | cated is harder to get rid of than the 4 Canadian thistle. The beet is one of 11 many synonyms, which is neither I here nor there: but we's glad its here. l| This last mentioned feature might be 1 used with telling effect apropos our I rival city to the west, but of that more 1 anon. The beet may not be much to I look at, in fact may be really plain. ' but at that persons of good taste can ' speak at alf times sincerely of its . i virtues. Wil) Parent received a card from 1 his wife, who left on Friday Irist for Granesville, Mo., for a visit with her ■ • father. The card was received from - Springfield, Mo., stating that she i reached that city in safety and would proceed from there to West Plains, Mo. From there she will continue her trip by stage coach, there being forty | ■ miles to cover in this manner, and ! ' she expected to reach her destination ! ' some time today, if everything went ! all right. NOTICE. 'Regular meeting of the F. & A. Ma- • sons Tuesday evening. There will be j I work in the Master Mason degree, and ■ a number of visit-ing brothers will be I here to witness the work. Please ! meet promptly at 7:30 o’clock. DAVID E. SMITH. W. M.
