Mr. Leon says he has loved Mrs. Elizalda for more than half la century, and was an interested auditor while lawyers wrangled over his courtship. Mrs. Ellzalda’e relatives object to the marriage. The fight is being waged by a granddaughter, who was recently appointed the aged woman’s guardian.

Mr. Elzey concludes that they are not wanted at either end of the line and they will be sold to get money to pay the express. These auctions are largely attended and are in the nature of a grab bag because no one knows what he is going to get in the parcel. Elmer Miller of this city visited at Hammond last year and while there learned of a man who attended an express sale, who paid sixty cents for an old grip, which he | found later contained $3,200 in currency.

WHY NOT MAKE OUR OWN SUGAR? Would Save $100,000,000 Yearly, Says Secretary Wilson. SUGAR BEETS THE REMEDY. We Could Raise Enough of Them In One State, Declares the Secretary of Agriculture, to Supply the Needa of the Whole Nation. By JAMES WILSON, Secretary of Agriculture. One would think that we had enough sunshine and wind and rain in this country for all our needs, but at present we are paying out to foreign nations the good round sum of $100.000.. 000 each year for these things. This amount slips away from us for our annual Importations of sugar, which comes simply from the carbon dioxide of the atmosphere. There is no reasou why we should not save this amount for our own people, our farmers and laborers, and so on. We could grow enough sugar beets in a single state to supply the needs of the entire nation. I hope some day we shall grow all the sugar we need right here at home. But at present we are paying this enormous sum each year to the cane producer in the tropics, employing the cheapest labor under a foreign flag. When I first entered the cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture under President McKinley in 1397 I had been connected with the lowa State Agricultural college for six years, and out there we had made experiments which taught us the great value of the sugar beet not only for its sugar, but as an aid to the other crops and in its byproducts as a food for the stock. We made experiments with all sorts of root crops—potatoes, sugar beets, turnips, and so on—to ascertain which would be the most profitable for the lowa farmers and dairymen. We had a large herd of dairy cows, and we tested these different vegetables on the cows to learn their effect In the production of milk and butter. We found that we could not get good results from turnips, potatoes and cab-

The Importance of this is in the fact that the farmer needs to use a root crop in his rotation to clear t'ie ground The cultivation required by such a crop Improves the yield of all succeeding crops. Europe had learned the value of the beet, and the northern continental nations were making their own sugar from it and by using it in rotation with other crops had been obtaining surprisingly big yields per acre. But here we had been backward In realizing Its Importance. The year I came Into the cabinet the United States had produced only 29.000 tons of tieet sugar I managed to get public spirited persons to contribute beet seed to begin investigations, and we found that the two northern tiers of states had the most favorable conditions for beet cul-1 ture We made elaborate inquiries, sent seed in all directions and had the beets sent back to us for testings At the same time we started encouraging beet growing in the north. we begnu to stimulate the growing of rice in the south. And I anticipated that by this time our farmers would be growing enough of each of these j products for our needs. But. while they grow today substantially as much rice as is consumed in the United States, the beet crop furnishes only a small j proportion of our sugar. It Is more difficult to educate our farmers to: beet raising. It Is a more complicated' form of activity. Last year our sugar beet crop netted ’ 595,455 tons of sugar, worth $05,505.- i 000. Os this the farmers received about! $26,350,000 for the beets, a fraction I over 40 per cent. The beet tops brought i $3 an acre, amounting to $1,358,478; i the pulp (left after the sugar is ex-! traded from the beets) was worth { $3,633,108 and the molasses, a byproduct of the sugar, $1,211,036. So the total value of the crop was over $70,000,000. There is no more profitable crop than :he sugar beet
