A Growing Business
The cultivation of sugar beets in the
Republican Valley bus grown apace in
the past few years Two years ago the
total tonnage was 4000 Year before
last 9000 tons of sugar beets were
raised and last year 19000 tons was
the total Four years ago was the ex
perimental year and that season but
nboufSOO tons were raised This shows a
Very satisfactory progress the acreage
being more than coubled each succeed
ing year
Wo have it on good authority that it
is the expectation that the total acreage
this season will exceed that of last year
notwithstanding last season was not as
profitable as usual on account of un
favorable weather in the spring time the
cold weather giving a poor stand of beets
The Standard Sugar Beet Co has
ulready contracted 900 acres and the
contracting season has just opened

Kicked By Her PeUPony
Ethel Morrissey was painfully injured
Saturday by her pet Shetland pony
The little animal was loose in the park
It had on a halter and short strap or
ope When Ethel tried to catch the
pony it commenced running but she
managed to get a hold on the rope As
the animal passed her it kicked her in

at once summoned and a few stitches
were taken in her upper lip It is
thought that the wound will quickly
ileal and with slight if any scar
