That was the remark of L. S. Lam bert, who, with his family, arrived n the city last week, and who this morning was seen In a local bank opening up a checking account and arranging to stay hero during the winter and "plug for that factory,") as he eloquently put It. Mr. Lam- bert used to rtow sugar 'beets down j In Colorado, and be thinks thut the Rogue valley should be an Ideal place for their production. In Colorado. he said, the Industry Increased till from the hill tops the smoke from eight factories could bo seen, and the farmers were satisfied to Increase acreage rather than to plant only what had been originally contracted for.

The manner In which William D. Wheelwright, prominent business man and orator par excellence, "spilled the beans" Hvtred had an advance copy of It been submitted to him. However, tho advocates of pre paredness had their say. Dr. James, for tbe farmer when his crop grown, there will be a wonderful Im provement In business conditions. A sugar beet community Is a prosper ous community." Mr. Lambert is backing his words up with work, and has already rented a bouse In town and will not return to his farm In Jefferson county If the factory Is assured. He returned Tues day night from a trip through the Evans creek country, where he was looking for land for sale or lease that was suitable for beet culture. Me said that he saw some beautiful country In the Evans valley, Ideal for beet culture. "The farmers up there all realize the value of the beet Industry," said Mr. Lambert, "but some of thorn are afraid of the transportation question. I told thorn to go ahead and raise boots and that the transportation problem would solve Isolf. If they get Into the business right somoono will build a railroad up the valley, as they will be built up evory valley where beets arc grown. Grow beets and the other good things will come." at tho Security Leaguo banquet Inst B. Bullitt, field secretary of the Navy night by advocating International league, declared that everything disarmament when the function was; within renson should bo done to In sure and organize national safety. After characterizing the song lion's lamentable unpreparedness for war, was the talk of the town today. Wheelwright eloquently opposed the preparedness program of the ad ministration been n bo "It Is unwlso and Immoral to get tho people to prepare for war as the only way of preventing It when the theory has been so absolutely disproved by events In Europe." When Wheelwright had concluded I Did Not Raiso My Boy to be a Sol dier" as despicable, Governor WHhy combo snld that preparedness was tho nation's guarnntee for a continu ance of peace.
