MIDDLE WEST
BEET FARMERS
ARE IN SESSION
DENVER, Jan. 29 (by Associated
Press).—Five hundred beet farmers,
representing the more important beet
growing districts of eleven states, are
met here for a three-day session for
the purpose of organizing the National
Beet Growers’ Association, call for
which meeting was issued by the lead
ing farmers’ organizations of the West
thirty days ago.
Questions under discussion are the
perfection of an organization to look
carefully after all interests connected
with the raising of sugar beets; ex
pansion of this great branch of agri
culture; steps to post thoroughly all
beet growing districts as to market
conditions; to remove the “national
sugar bowl from the clutches of a few
powerful corporations which are so
united and organized as to form a most
menacing trust."
The sugar beet was termed one of
the nation’s very greatest agricultural
assets by delegates. The delegates
are seemingly unitd in the effort to
be vigorously launched to make the
country independent of every other
sugar-producing country in the mat
ter of sugar.
Representatives from several de
partments of the federal government
are taking part in the proceedings.
Delegates are registered from sugar
producing districts of Colorado, Cali
fornia, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Ne
braska, Ohio, Washington and Wy
oming. A number of women are in
attendance.

GLAND OPERATION
MAKES NEW MAN
Aged Convict Rejuvenated by
Transplanting of Glands
From Murderer.
NOW SEES NEW HOPE
_____
Chicago Surgeon Is Given the Credit
for Originating the Grafting Proc
ess by California Prison
Physicians.
San Quentin, Cal,—“I am a new
man. Already I can feel the new en
ergy in me, and my ambition has re
turned.”
That statement was made by J.-,
the old man who was given interstitial
glands taken from the body of Tom
Bellon, who had been hanged at San
Quentin prison.
As J. - spoke he stretched out
his arras and flexed them like an ath
lete. His eyes sparkled and there was
resonance in his voice.
J. - still is confined to the hos
pital ward of the prison, and he lay
on his cot. He has beeD permitted,
however, to take short walks. He re
peated time and again that he felt
“like a new man.”
~ The prison physicians, Dr. L. L.
Stanley and' Dr. G. David Kalken, who
implanted the glands in J -. said
j there had been a marked change in
their patient.
Sees New Hope.
i J. - himself said he seemed nor
j mal In vigor for the first time in 25
| years. He i? serving a 60-year term,
and since he has once violated his pa
role there is slight chance that he will
be paroled again. He looks on life
j with a new hope, however.
I The controversy as to who first per
formed the gland implantation opera
tion continues.
Doctor Stanley received a cable
gram from Dr. Serge Voronoff. the
Paris doctor who claims to have origi
nated the operation. The cablegram
reads:
“Hear with pleasure of your appli
cation of ray method. I do grafting
by dividing glands into many pieces
and putting them In their natural .
place.”
Credit, however, is given by Doctor
! Stanley to Dr. G. Frank Lydston of
j Chicago for first performing the oper
! at ion as a report on a successful trans
! plantation of glands was made one
i . . . i ._it_ii n
He Felt "Like a New Man."
month prior to Doctor Voronoff’s re
port, according to medical records, i
Voronoff’s operation concerns the
thyroid Interstitial giand of the neck,
whereas Lydston, Stanley and Kalker
transplant the reproductive intersti
tial glands.
Floods of Letters.
The prison doctors are receiving a
great flood of letters from all parts of
the United States, inquiring concern
ing the operation. Many of the let
ters ask that the operation be per
formed on the writer, and state that
money is no object.
The doctors, in reply, state the op
eration still is in its experimental
stages. They hope, however, to de
velop it to the stage where glands
may be transplanted from goate or
apes to humans.
They have a large colony of guinea
pigs segregated as to color and will ex
periment to ascertain whether trans
planted glands carry with them any
phyj?ical characteristics of the donor.
Bolsheviki Slay Persians.
London.—Details have reached here
of. the murder by bolsheviki of Iba
dullabeg, the Persian consular agent
at Armivir, Armenia, together with
310 Persian subjects, of whom 270
were Mohammedans and 40 Christians.
When the volunteer army evacuated
Armavir, July 27, according to the re
ports, the bolsheviki called Ibadullabeg
out, shot him down and mutilated his
body with swords and bayonets. The
bolsheviki then herded together all the
Persians who had taken shelter under
the protection of the Persian flag and
^hot them en masse with machine guns
and buried them, partly in the consu
lar graveyard and partly in a common
pit.
