Operation Os Decatur Sugar Beet Factoi y Will Prove Great Boon

Every hundred pounds of sugar, produced from beets equals eight i hours of labor. Operation of the . Decatur plant this year, it is esti- | mated will use 2,400.000 hours of i labor. These were two outstanding' facts brought out by Dr. J. A. Brock, Bay City, Michigan, educa-j tional director of the Farmers and Manufacturers Beet Sugar Association, who spent several hours here last evening. Dr. Brock Is very happy over the plans to reopen the plant here and predicts great success for the new company. This labor is divided as follows. 3% hours per 104) pounds of sugar, by the farmer, 1% hours by the | factory employe and 2% hours by i those engaged in handling coal ! and supplies. Dr. Brock devotes his time to promo'ing the sugar l>eet business and has just return- , ed from Washington, where he ' attended the tariff sessions. He I is enthusiastic about the outlook I for ‘ he business and believes that , Indiana will soon have several I factories and will become the I “sugar bowl of America.” “What Indiana makes, makes 1 Indiana" is the slogan he proposes I and says every one should pass on the word that Hoosiers use Indiana made beet sugar. This year Indiana will import 25.000,Ptt0 hours of labor by using sugar not made in the state and the Decatur pla can manufacture less than one-tenth of the amount of sugar ; consumed in the state. Last year, according to govern- ; ment statistics, the United Spates CERMAK'SBODY BROUGHT HOME Martyred Mayor Is Mourned By Thousands of Chicago Citizens Chicago, Mar. 8. — (U.R) -Chicago's martyred mayor, Anton Joseph Certnak, came home today on a funeral train to this city where he rose to power and riches. The homecoming is a sad aftermath of a career that ended on a high note of tragedy. "Tony” Cerntak, the immigrant boy who drove a mule in a coal mine, never glimpsed such a career in his rosiest dreams. Certain')', the sweep of events that brought de.,th after a gallant fight to live would have seemed a dream to Cermak a few weeks ago. Nor could he have foreseen the finale in his home city. Hours before scheduled arrival of the funeral train, a crowd began to congregate at the Twelfth street station of the Illinois Central. The thousands present at It) a. m. when the train arrived from Miami and only the vanguard of the hundreds of thousands who will pay tribute during the three days set apart until burial late Friday. It was a host typical of Chicago, city of bustle and pomp, of many races and frank emotions, that wel r<oVTl*N:'T'n '.N PAOR TWO RELIEF GROUP MAKES REPORT Distribution of Relief Organization Announced For February Dr. Burt Mangold, president of the Decatur Emergency Relief organization, has issued a report of the amount of foodstuffs and clothing distributed to t.te needy of Decatur during the month of February. The articles of foodstuffs issued during the month are as follows: Eighty bushels of potatoes. Sixteen hundred pound* of corn meal. Eight hundred pounds of beans. One hundred dozen eggs. Eighteen hundred pounds of meat all donated by Muttcblers. Two hundred seventy-three 24-lb. sicks of Red Cross flour. One ntrndred cans of fruits and iveget.ibles to invalids. Many articles of clothing were distributed, including second hand jeoat*. overcoats, dresses, underwear, stockings, sox, hats, caps, 'shoe and overshoes.

■ gave 208.000,0u0 hours of labor for I beet business, with only 71 of the 92 mills operating. They bought I 1,300,000 tons of coal, 76,000 tons j of coke. 604,000 tons of lime rock, , 30,000,000 Lags, paid the railroads I $21,367,000 for freigh . spent a i million for machinery parts, $686,000 for insurance and $4."Jn,1000 for taxes, so if you think it isn't a real business. Dr. Brock can prove it to you by adding that fifty million dollars was paid the farmers. The total acreage of beets in the Unr ed Slates last yeat* was 768,316 and if that had not been so used, it would have been that much more for the surplus crops. I At 25 cents per hour, the beet 11.Idustry last year furnished 50,000.- | 000 hours of labor. Dr. Brock says every farmer I who possibly can ought o raise I beets and gives this message to I the farmers of Adams county: “If | you will compare returns, year in l and year out. of beets with any ■ other crop, you will find it the ■ greatest cash producer. Govern- ’ metr experts show that last year. ; productions were: Corn—s 9.24 per acre. Oats —54.60 per acre. Barley $5.60 per acre. Hay $7.22 per acre. Beans —$6.51 per acre. Potatoes—s27.6o per acre. Beets—ss6.47 per acre.” “Put the sugar beet campaign ever and remember what Indiana makes, makes Indiana, were Dr. ; Brock's parting words. He expects Ito return later and address the i people of this communitv along this line. Award Contract For Furnishing Tires The Highway Fillit g station. i; operated by Ed and Francis Ellsi worth, was awarded the contrut I for furnishing tires to the Adams . county highway department during t ie coming year. Their bid was list price, less 30. 10 and 5 per cent. Eight other bids were submitted, all proposals being based on list price, less the discounts. The Highway Filling sta- , tion will furnish U. S. Royals. The , department uses pneumatics ami solid tires. No tontract was let for any certain amount. t The Burk Elevator company was awarded the contract for furnishing , 8 tons of fertilizer to the county infirmary at $24.70 a ton.
