With the beet crop on his land, the fanner becotpes a manufacturer, employing other men, producing a crop in which the more he works, the mole he gets. It's intensive tarmljOg. something new, in this country. — * I Governor Marshall has issued a cull for the first conservation congress of Indiana, to be held at Indianapolis. October 28th. It's a great question and ! Adams county, boasting the first beet j sugar plant in the state, should be rep- 1 resented. The raising of beets is giv- r en as one of the sure ways of conserv-, ing the soil. • , The acreage is coming boys. It's a a tedious old job, but a glorious one, 1 for you are doing more for your com- ' munity and those who come after you, ' than you imagine now. Roll up your sieves, spit on your hands, and dive in h again. Another week should find us t weil out of the woods on the acreage ' t I reposition. * ' t Every person who can should hear Mr. Allen at the court house this even- v ing. His address will be good for the P tanner who expects to raise beets, for 1 r the bifsiness man who is trying to land a the big factory and for the school children and others who wish to learn a something about this crop which will be one of the chief ones of this community in another year i if you are still doubtful as to the , benefits that come from raising beets, j you should read the interview wiW ; Judge Dwyer of Dayton, Ohio, in ‘ I which he proves that he has at least | greatly benefitted therefrom.

STUDENTS’ HEALTH GREED. Pupils of Decatur schools this week received copies of "The Health Creed," recommended by the jiiate board of health. Tine creed suggested is a good one and pupils arcasked to paste it in their books, also to follow the teachings. It is as follows: I believe my body and good health are sacred. If I am sick it will (ver; probably be because I have violated one or more of nature’s laws of health. I will study nature s laws of health and I will obey them for my own sake. I will not such my fingers, or pick my nose or wipe my nose on my hand or sleeve, for these practices are unsanitary and very impolite. I will not wet my fingers In my mouth when turning the leaves of my books. I will not put pencils in my mouth or wet them with my lips. I will not put pins or money in my mouth. I will not buy or use chewing gum nor buy and eat cheap candies. 1 will only use my mouth for eating good plain food, drinking pure water and milk and for saying good and kind words. I will always chew my food thoroughly, and never drink whisky or wine. I will strive against the habit of clearing my throat” because it is nearly always unnecessary, and may be disagreeable to others. I will not cough or sneeze without turning my face and holding a piece of paper or handkerchief before my mouth. Polite people never cough in public if they can prevent it. I will keep my face, hands and finger nails as clean as possible. I will not spit on the floors, stairways or sidewalks, and will try not to spit at all; ladies and gentlemen do not spit. I will wash my mouth every morning on getting up and at night on going to bed, and will use a tooth brush if I can get one. I will be clean in body, clean in mind, and avoid all habits that may I give offense to others. I will get all the p'esh air I can and ' will open wide my bedroom windows j when I go to bed. _o THREE NEW JACKSON CARS.
