'In these Irrigated sections the sugar beet
Is the governing crop. ' The fact has been
developed beyond question that the sugar

under Irrigation," The sugar cornea Into the
beet through the leaves and It Is governed
by the amount' of sunshine on the plant.
The long sunshiny days In the Irrigated
sections produce ' the highest development
of th" beet. The crop averages from fif
teen to twenty-two tons to th acre. The
farmer received in' the last season $5 per
ton for beets delivered at the railroad.
"A report of one Immigration agent picked
up at random shows the sale of 1.100 acres
of land In the humid region, the amount of
sales reaching 1167.710. The same firm sold
1400 acres of Irrigated land, valuing $14,100.
These sales were divided among forty-nine

W01U1 IX CLUB AND CHARITY
The program that has been arranged by
the civil service reform committee of the
Woman's cl'ih for Monday sfternoon as
postponed two weeks because of the in
clement westher. ToHtmaster Palmer snd
tr. A. B. Uomers will be the speakers, and
the program will be presented January 3.
Mra. F". H, Cole, chairman of the commit
tee, gave an interesting t sketch of Mrs.
Chsrles Tttissell I-owell, chairman of th
New Tork Civil Service Reform committee,
whose death recently haa been a distinct
loss to this branch of reform in public
service.
A general business meeting wss substi
tuted for the postponed program, but there
was not sufficient business to fill the two
hours, and the club adjourned early. Mrs.
Andrews took occasion to express the wish
that there might be more cordiality shown
stranger In th club, contrasting the rather
too hasty departure of the members of the
local organisation with the social and th
friendly Interest In strangers manifested In
other clubs. Acting upon a request from
Mrs. flelleck of Blair, vie president of the
Second district of the Nebraska, Federation
of Women's Clubs, It was decided to Join
with the four other federated clubs of
Omaha in extending an Invitation to the
club of the Second district to hold their
annual convention in Omaha February 11
On that date Miss Mary McDowell of Chi
cago will address the club under the aus
pices of the social science department upon
some sociological subject to be selected and
It la desired that th opportunity of hearing
Miss McDowell be extended to as many
clubwomen a possible. A proposition of
the National Cash Register company to
present a stereopticon entertainment before
the club was accepted. Mrs. C. W. Damon
of Mason City, la., and Mra. B. F. Weaver
it Portland, Ore., former members of the
club, were guests of the afternoon and each
spoke briefly.
A communication waa received from the
city physician calling the club's attention to
the provision made by the city qounctl for
proper Inspection of milk. Some discussion
followed regarding an advertisement in the
street car by a local dairy company which
claims th endorsement of. the Woman's
club. The club has on a previous occasion
requested this dairy company to refrain
from using Its name unauthorized. At that
time th manager said that the use of the
club's name was unintentional. This ex
planation was made to the leader of the
household economics department, but the
club has received no reply to Its communi
cation and the request will be repeated. ,
A rat of a fare and one-third for the
round trip ha been made try all the rail
roads for the thirty-eighth annual conven
tion of the American Woman's Suffrage as
sociation, which will be held at Baltimore
February 7 to 14. A ten days' stop-over at
Washington, D. C, will be allowed in addi-
tion to the convention dates. This rate
will be made on the certificate plan. The
Hotel Belvldere has been selected as head
quarter for the convention delegates and
the meetings will be held at the Lyric
theater, which la within walking distance.
Th hotel rates (Eurpoean plan) range from
$2 to 16 a day and a list of private boarding
houses will be furnished.
.
Here Is a bit of argument furnished by an
English vicar why women ahould wear their
hats In church: .
Let us consider the reasons why a Chris
tian woman should cover her head what
these principles of th apostle were:
' 1. Man's priority of creation. Adam was
first formei, tnen Eve.
t. Th manner of creation. The man' is
not of the woman, but th woman of the
ran.
J. The purport of creation. The man waa
not created for the woman, but the woman
(or tne man.
4. Results In creation. - Th man ia the
image of the glory of God: but woman la
the glory of man.
3. Woman's priority in the fall. Adam
waa not deceived, but the woman, being de
ceived, wua in the transgression.
t. The marriage relation. As the church
Is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to
their husbands.
7. The headship of man and woman. The
head of very man la Christ, but the head
of the woman Is man.
' And this in the
twentieth century!

office. They found nut some time ago that
they loved each other snd there wss a papa
who put In a decided objection, with the re
sult that the Inseparable couple eloped yes
terday In the direction of Omaha. Ramsey

vice president of tha Union Pacific, and
R. 8. Lovett. counsel of the Union Pacific,

well attended and the audience was en
tirely en rapporte with the artist who haa
an unusually pleasing personality. An
American truly, born In Boston, graduated
at Harvard, studying music in Boston and
later In European musical centers, he gives
the impression first and foremost of a
thorough student of the art of singing.
His voice Is a rich, resonant baritone, and
shows most careful cultivation. Not ot
exceptional range, he gets the best effects
In his higher voice, with beautiful head
tones. In the production of the higher
chest tones he gave one a feeling that they
were not properly produced .and It was
noticeable that he was off the pitch
.
several - times, not enougn, However, to,"
mar tne pleasure wnicn nis singing gave.
He was at his very best in the French I
and Irish ballads. . .1
In the first group ot gong he aang
delightfully "Love Me or Not," by Secchl,
It being rendered with great tenderness
snd feeling; "The Wanderer" lacked in
fervor. His singing of "Henry, th Fowler"
called forth, a decided encore, to which he
responded with that old-time favorite,
"Drink to Me Only With Thin Eyes."
In the second group the Tschalkowsky
and Chanilnade number were beautifully
ung, th "Barcarolle of Bemberg" cloaing
the group of songs by fdrelgn composers.
Ot the song by American composers
Sidney - Homer' "Requiem" was given
with the greatest depth and breadth of
feeling, calling forth a repetition of the
brave, fearless song. "The Trumpeter"
was also given with very fine effect. It was
tn the last group, that - Mr. Roger dis
played the most animation, the gay . little
Irish ditties being given with good styl
and effect. '.Penny's Daughter" and a rol
licking sailor's song given aa an encore
at the last delighted the whole audience.
There is a great deal of fine material in
Mr. Rogers' voice and much is ' to be
hoped for in the future, judging from his
conscientious work.
Mrs. Borglam played the accompani
ments for the soloist. It surely wa an
oversignt to leave tne name or this ao
ocmplished lady off the program. Her work
left nothing to be desired.
