Big Crowd at the
Basket Ball Games
The first "brisket ball game of the
mason which were ployed last night
lit the club hall was attended by a
lars and enthusiastic audience.
Athalt past seven the girls were
called onto the floor and the way
they played for a few minutes made
the boys feel that they would have
to work some to hare any part of
the public's favor. At the end of the
first half the score was nothing to
nothing, but in the second half the
' Alphas succeeded in making two bas
kets. The game ended In a score of
four to nothing In favor of the Alphas.
The Alphas had the advantage In
' weight aud experienced players, but
the Ochoconians played them hard.
The officials were: Evans, umpire;
Foster, referee; Asltby, time keeper.
Following the girls game was a
gaine between the boys. The two
teams were very evenly matched, the
Alphas having a slight advantage in
weight. The lirst halt ended disas
trously for the Ochoconians. The
score was eight to two In favor of
the Alphas. The second half took a
different , turn. The Ochoconians
made basket after basket nntfl time
was called. The Bcore stood ten to
ten and the game had to continue
until one team or the other made
two points. After a few minutes of
hard playing the Alphas were suc
cessful and won by a score of twelve
to ten.

SUGAR BEETS DO WELL HERE.

being very satisfactory.
The cheaiidt at Washington Bta.
ted that the sample had a good
commerc'al value and if it were
possible to grow them in sufficient
quantities there was no reason why
the industry could not be success
fully established here.
Taking the -figures given above
one can readily see that the toil in
this experiment produced one
pound of sugar beet for every two
hundred and forty square inches.
By using a little arithmetic we
arrive at the conclusion that th
soil in this case produced a little
more than thirteen and one half
tons per acre. '
In sugar beet countries the ( rice
ranges from t4.50 to $6.50 per
ton. This would allow a gross in
come of something like 160 per
acre.
The expense per acre for growing
sugar beets in this country can
only be determined by a large
number of experiments and it
is with a view toward enlisting the
interest of practical men that this
article is wr itten.
.It seems to the writer that this
subject ought to be more widely
discussed. It ought to be possible
to gain the attention of a number
of men in each ol the several dis
tricts of the county who would take
an active inter st in this matter.

ultimately fairly well known lu hi
day. For nearly twenty years he
struggled and fought hi way along
without meeting with any very pro
nounced success, each play In turn
proving more or loss of a failure. At
Inst, however, he produced play that
really caught tha puLUe last. H and
the famous Sheridan hastened to be
present together ou the oiHutliig night
All went well. Success followed suc
cess, aud applause greeted and ended
each mute. At the eud of the second
act Reardrunu's elation -got the belter
of hi discretion, aud, leaning over to
ward Slierldau ai usual, too witty to
be merely syiupatetle-he exclaimed:
"Sheridan, Sln-ritltin, It- going to be
success," a complete success!"
"Ah, yes, murmured Sheridan,
with exquisite commission lu bin voice,
"too bad, too bad!"
Too bad?" stumnierej bi friend,
completely taUeu o.T hi guard. "Why,

A Reference.
A firm of shady outside London bro
kers was prosecuted for swindling, lu
acquitting them the court, with great
severity, suid:
"There la not sufficient evidence to
convict you, but If any one wishes to
know my opinion of you 1 hoi they
will refer to me."
Next il.'tv the Arm's advertisement ap

the following, well displayed: "liefer

Hi Reformation.
He was rather given to late hours,
and his wife remonstrated with hlui,
so he promised her faithfully that he
would reform. It would have been nil
right If his friend had not heard of it
"So John II. has reformed, has hej
Humph, we'll see." Tbey "saw" htm
In procession. ' First he met one old
chum, then another, and It never dawn
ed uihju blm that Is was a conspiracy.
The first night that John II. renched
home after he had made that promise
to his wife It was very late, or, rather,
It was very early. In fact. It was early
morning. He took oft his boots, man
aged to hang his hat up nnd walked
softly Into the room where his wife
slumbered. So far all was good. He
divested himself of his coat, nnd Just
as ho was hanging It on the gas bracket
his wife woke up.
"Why,., John," she exclaimed, "what
on earth are you getting up so early
for?"
This was a poser, but John was
equal to the occasion.
"That's all right," he said. " "You
know I've reformed, Mary, an' there's
lots of people I've got to see early In
the mornln .
And he deliberately put on bis eoat
and boots, found his hat and went ont
again, while Mrs. II. turned over, with
a fiendish chuckle, and went to sleep.
In the olden times a woman In the
north of Scotland went to visit her
husband, who was condemned to be
hanged on the following day. The
doomed man began to give his In
structions to his wife preparatory to
bidding her farewell, when all nt once
she broke In upon the conversation
and exclaimed, "By the bye, John,
whnur will I plant the tattles this
year?" The unfortunate man, ns may
be Imagined, grew exceedingly Indig
nant at the indifference of his wife
and exclaimed angrily: "What need I
care whaur ye plant them? I'm not
likely to need ony o' them." "Hech."
replied the woman, turning , to the
warden, with a wag of the head, "oor
John's huffed because he's gaun to be
hanged the morn!" and marched out of
the cell.
