It : has been proven time and again that faQ plowing will Increase the yield of beets from one to four tons per era. Especially Is this true In the Rogue TeJley even to a greater de gree than la most other districts where beets are grown. Our river bottom soils become mellow as an sn heap with cultivation, and some of the failures of the past season In scaring stand of beets was that the fresh plowed ground was too mel low. The seed was planted at too great a depth, and, where a second plant was required H brought the crop too lata In the season. The beet yields were where the seed was planted early upon a well-prepared seed bed. Proper preparation of the ground may be the factor that determines the success or failure of the crop. The ground is now in good condition for working, and help Is easier obtained than it will be in Feb ruary when every one will have to get busy. Of the question ot soil prep aration, R. M. Ban-, an authority up on the culture ot sugar beets, makes the following suggestions: "Pall plowing for sugar beets ts very Important and maximum re sults depend entirely upon It. It Beans from one to four tons ot beets per acre increase over spring plow ing. Tbe land should be plowed from 8 to 12 inches deep, or rather depth of plowing should be regulated by previous plowings, and not more than 3 inches of new soil should 1e brought to the surface, as too much raw, new soil Is detrimental to any crop. "Floating or leveling should be done on those lands as soon as they are dry enough to work In the spring then harrow with a common spike tooth harrow at intervals until seed Ing time arrives. "The more grain you replace by growing sugar beets, the more dairy ing and stork feeding you can do on the same acreage, but do not make the mistake of trying to arrow beets on grain lands that are worn out as results will be very unsatisfactory."

Cal.. there is a marrying parson, the Rev. John H. Pierce, who has tied 4,000 knots In his 10 years behind the pulpit Pierce has been especially active In point ing the way for girls who seek the royal road to matrimony. He has published "ten commandments" up on how to win a husband. They are here given in the hope that through their effective use many a delinquent Grants Pass eligible may be brought to his knees before the bells shall toll out the year. Here are Rev. Pierce's commandments: First Plan your campaign with the wisdom of the serpent, conceal it with the silence ot the clam, execute It with the strategy of MachlavelllJ Second Avoid all witticism about marriage. Third Veil with alluring helpless ness the iron ot self-sufficiency. Fourth When a man declares "I shall never marry!" mark him for easy prey.

LLOYD-GEORGE IS MAN OF THE PEOPLE ON TAXING THE UNWED The Portland Telegram is out with a renewal ot the demand for a puni tive tax upon bachelorhood. It would settle all the financial evils that fol low In the wake of demon ary by making the unwed males of the na tion pay the bill. But why should the Telegram discriminate? Has It not learned ere this that sex Is no barrier In the pursuit of happiness or the gathering In of three square meals a day? Neither is sex a bar rier in politics, and the musical note of the female legislator Is heard even unto the halls of congress. The bal lot box Is no longer the sole prerog ative of the male of the species .and ho has even had to surrender the blessed privilege of standing with his No. 10 upon the foot-rail while he looked across the mahogany at the plate glass mirror In front. So, dear Telegram, why discriminate even In the' levying of a tax npon those who V at cupld's emlle?

More" than the man of the hour," "a man of the people, and with the Veople's com plete support" thus was David Lloyd-George regarded today. No man in British history had more un erringly searched the British public mind and more accurately voiced its sentiment than "the little Wlesh man" yesterday In his speech In com mons. Looking back today over that fate ful session in commons, England re garded the picture of the simple born Welshman, now called to supreme power in Britain, answering Eng land's powerful enemy, as the tens est occasion in all the hundreds ot years of tbe British parliament. Tbe roars of applause the people united In will arise as this new leader stood up from the middle minister ial bench recently the favorable seat of the man he displayed as premier of England. The noise re verberated as he stood, head erect and body easily posed. Then cheers sank away Into silence as his Important words began to flow simply, without attempt at or atory, but in well modulated tones that reached distinctly Into the Gothic recesses of the chambers and the galleries. The rails of these galleries were thronged with distinguished cltliens. leaning eagerly over the heads of the notable asemblsge below. Most of the dlplomatio corps were there hut among the absentees was the American ambassador, Walter Hlnes Page. Not one movement nor word which that little Welshman" now Eng land's "man of the hour," made or spoke indicated the fact that It was the critical moment of his career; that every word he was enunciating was being sent Instantaneously over the wires and cables toward hundreds of millions of waiting cars all over the world. Lloyd-George spoke the fatal me' sage to Germany of complete rest! tutlon, full reparation and1 effectual guarantee against repetition In slow, measured tones, swine his arms backward. Occasionally he drove homo special points by swinging his arms as he warmed up to his subject, It was not a politician's effort to win his audience. It appeared more like a grimly firm Illustration nv Lloyd Gnorge of Lloyd-George's way nf winning tho war, of the sort of spirit necessary to win. The first oratorical display, or tven attempt at oratory, on tho pre. ' mler's part came when he denounc ed Germany's disregard for the rights of nations and treaties and her at rocities In warfare and again when he quoted Abraham Lincoln's noted words. Throughout the entlro speech Lloyd-Oor'c's predecessor as prints minister, Herbert Asqullh, sat with folded arms, listening Intently ss the son of a poor Welsh minister spoke, declaring England's determination to spurn peace not based on her own terms And outlined the almost revo lutionary steps with which bis "recon structed government" proposes (o achieve England's victory.
