F. M- Schirmeyer has figured out ■ some dope on the sugar beet proposi- j tion that will convey some idea of! busy scene* that may be expected | here next fall. If 5,000 acres are planted in beets, and yield twelve tons to the acre, a total of 60,000 tons. If' this is hauled at an average of two ! tons to the load it would require thirty thousand wagon loads. If each out- : fit measured thirty feet in length it | would make a solid string of wagons I 170 miles long, or reaching from here ■ to Chicago. _ j ... i The work of the local committee ! this week, a total of contracts nearly ! 2,500, shows what can be done when | a bunch of live men bind themselves together for the general good of the community. The task of securing contracts for 5.000 acres seemed impos- , sible when first sprung. Now it looks easy and there are those who boas: < that it could have been doubled with ! sufficient time. The response to the ; call for aid in this matter was a demonstration of what our fellows will do ; when they are needed. J. L ' ~ Undoubtedly the leader of his party, I and as its candidate next year, Mr. Taft feels that the only policy possible for him is to keep in the middle of the road. With the insurgents earn-, estly trying to knife him, and the ' standpatters trying to kidnap him, he is. indeed, in a rather uncomfortable position To ally himself with either faction would be to invite the sure hostility of the other. And yet there does seem to be away to win the approval of the people, and to hold it, and that is by doing his duty as president of the United States without any I thought whatever of the effect of his action on either faction. It is impossible to please the self-constituted leaders of the two factions, for they have made up their minds not to be ; pleased. But the people are more reasonable —and a good deal more patriotic. —Indianapolis News. A splendid example of the economy now being practiced in the state house is the showing made by the ( state printing board, composed of the governor, auditor of state and secre- ; tary of state.

OVER FIFTEEN ACRES Will be Purchased and Laid Out Into Lots for Accommodation of Patrons. An important meeting of the Decatur i • | Cemetery association was scheduled j | for this afternoon a*, which time the j association was to take up the matter of the purchase of 15.55 acres oi I the Schirmeyer property, which lies just west of the present boundaries of , the cemetery. The association, in a body, visited the cemetery this morning and looked over the land in question thoroughly. The meeting this afternoon will settle the matter definitely. For some time the association has seen the necessity of having more land, as that now belonging to them is being rapidly sold. ■ The new addition will lay along the ; 1 road and will prove to be as valuable j as that now enclosed in the main ; part of the cemetery. It is the intention to lay out the new addition in i as beautiful a manner as possible, having it correspond in a great measure to that already in use. o SOME FACTS ABOUT THE HORSE A colt unbroken is worth little more than nothing; improperly broken, it is worth still iess. It is harder , to break a horse that has been tampered with by unskilled hands than one never touched by the hand of man. Often it is impossible to rid < an individual of faults thrust upon ! it, when a youngster, by an educator I who has not had the necessary expe-' rience. Many times horses have thus I Seen spoiled for life. -I P. C. Masterson, the horse trainer and educator, is a man thoroughly ex- i . perienced and equipped for this un-1 dertaking. Horses placed in his. charge can be placed there with the fullest confidence that they will re- ■ ceive the careful and skillful atten ’ tion. made possible by years of ex- • perience. Now is the time to have 1 colts broken. Don't wait till warm j weather, as you can now get them i handled with more attention. Masterson is also a developer of, speed, and has met with splendid' success in this line. In fact, this is his main business, of which the breakand educating of colts is a very important branch. Experience has taught Masterson that horses trained for speed should be started early in the year. When a horse goes a "good corking mile” evetfy muscle and fiber i in its make-up ig put to the most , tense exertion. For this much power of lung and muscle is required. To get this power a good supply of systematic jogging is unavoidably necessary. During the racing season many good prospects are turned out on pasture because they were put to the test of their speed and endurance before they had sufficient preparation, i The horse should be built up in the winter in order to develop speed In the spring. Any attempt to get speed without muscle will be met by disaster. The subject best fitted for hard campaigning is the prospect well win tered. Masterson is well equipped for such wintering.
