Push a little harder boys, and it J will be a glorious finish to the best ! campaign we ever made. Let's clean I it up while were at it! J. N. Fristoe writes us from Winona, showing the right spirit, when he says: "Put me down for ten acres and ten dollars." He got three cheers j from the boys at headquarters when , the letter was read. Hon. James E. Watson is credited I with having said that there were | more frauds, hypocrites and scoundrels in Wayne county politics, than I in any other county in the world. 1 Maybe he said it and maybe he did I not, but as the editor of the Marion Chronicle, observes, the millionaire | proprietors of the Richmond papers i evidently believe Mr. Watson was , 1 looking at them, and naturally they j : are boiling mad about it. —Huntington 1 Herald. 1 Some farmers in this section who expect to raise beets, but are putting I off signing contracts will be fooled I when the required amount has been j secured. It’s different from any other crop. You must sell it before you raise it, or you won’t have a market. The factories contract for what they I dan use. and then you are out. unless you're in. Get busy, and remember, too, that those who get into the game this year will have the first chance next year. • Charley Allen, you’re all right.

Mr. Allen believes through and tb.ougu in the sugar beet business, and his j ; talks have much influence. He has no j j interest in any sugar factory in the 1 ! world, and is interested only from the point of view of the farmer. He speaks straight from the shoulder, i and he helped. Decatur is making an extraordin- i ary effort to land a sugar beet fa<i tory, and will succeed if they can induce enough farmers to agree to grow the beets. The time for starting , the factory is propitious, and if the j grade of the beets comes up to ex-; ' • i pectations, the factory would prove , a grand thing for Decatur and Adams ] county. It would also be beneficial " ( ,to surrounding counties as beet sac- i > tories usually ship them for consider-1 1 able distance. There is considerable > 1 i hard work about growing them, es-1, specially while they are in the little i, 1 stage of their growth. They must be ) weeded and thinned and this work is ' of the back-breaking kind. After they , get some size the work is not so try-I . i ing. In good soil at least SIOO worth , 'of them can be grown on a single 11 j acre. But to be valuable the beets '• must contain a good percentage of * saccharine matter. —Columbia City , POSt. ; ] DOINGS IN SOCIETY ! 11 Wedding Dance Was At- j tended by About Three Hundred Guests. * i 1 A HAPPY AFFAIR < < At the Kohne Home—Birthday Party Given For Mrs. < Mary Troutner.
