March Twenty-first Officially That’s Spring • SPRING’S not officially here till the twenty-first, but on many recent days you've said —“It won't he long now. ’ Already you can picture the gay wild-flowers, though weeks may pass before they bloom. Ton haven't seen one infant leaf, yet you can vision the rustle of soft winds in full-foliaged trees. Even if you could not feel the warming sun you would still know from the advertising columns of this newspaper that Spring is near. For these are the modern shopper's calendar, timely always, fraught now with the things you want and should have before the twenty-first. Your desire lor a change in hats, shoes and clothing, in style, color or weight of fabric, is as natural as the change in seasons. Gratify it —and let these advertisements help you, with assurance that the merchandise they offer is dependable, priced right, and quite “official” for Spring.

The same company was the only bidder on the unmortgaged assets of the property under the control lof the receiver in the State of Michigan. Holders of Mortgage it was shown in evidence before I the federal court that the Lake Shore Sugar Company, held all mortgage bonds totaling approximately $636,000 on the properties and that the same company owned over *600,000 of claims against the receivership and had spent alwul ’ $90,000 to conserve the plants, mak- [ ing their total cost in excess of I $1,300,000.

Dark Cloud Arising There is only one dark cloud arisI mg to mar the picture of a successiful and continued operation of the local sugar factory, officers of the [company declare. • This cloud, which may be of such i cyclonic nature as to wipe out or destroy the beet sugar interests in [several states. Is the proposed amendments to the Agricultural Adjustment Act which proposes to reduce sugar production In this country and consequently reduces the acreage in territories of local sac- 1 tories. ‘ The measure now before con-1 gress. proposes to reduce the sugar tonnage to 1,650,000 tons, a decrease of about 300.000 tons com ’ pared with 1933 production of sugar beet plants in the United S.ates. In the allocation of this reduc [ tion. local sugar company officials I do not know how it will affect the | situation here. If the percentage ! of reduction is based on a two or l I three-year average, the local comI pany possibly could not pperate, since it has operated but one year . in the past three. The quotas of importation of sugar from Cuba, Porto Rico and 1 Philippine Islands, have been in-1 creased under the proposed act, nearly 300,000 tons being added to the Cuban quota. Since the bill ' has been in committee, it is report • ed that the committee to which the bill has been referred will recom- i mend an increase of only 100,000 ’ tons for American beet sugar plants. However, this figure would I still be more than 200,000-short of the quota necessary to enable the i farmers to grow sufficient beets in ■ each, area to assure the reasonable .

The betrothal of Miss Edith B. Baker, New York society beauty, to John Mortimer Schiff, sportsman and financier, is of interest not onlv to •ociety but to the financial and philanthropic worlds. For the Baker »nd Schiff families long have held prominent places in the industrial life of America The bride-to-be is a granddaughter of the late George F. Baker, who as head of the First National Bank, was reputed to be worth $500,000,000 at the time of his death in 1931. She will one day be the richest young woman in the world. The future bridegroom is the only son of Mortimer L. Schiff, partner in Kuhn. Loeb &(d financial house The young man inherited the'bulk of his father’s $100,000,000 fortune, when the latter died in 1931 Educated at Yale and Oxford. Schiff followed in his father's business footsteps. He is also a sportsman of note, being deeply interested in hunting and hwse racing.

operation of processing plants. The beet sugar glowers in the United States are asking that they be permitted to grow sufficient beets to assure the operation of their present plants to capacity, and thus give the farmers a local market for an essential farm crop. Farmers in the local beet sugar territories of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan are greatly concerned as to the outcome of the proposed intendment to the A.A.A. allotment bill. Want to Operate T. E. Suyder, vice-president and general manager of the Central Sugar Company, still hag, hope that congress will amend the Agriculture Bill and not reduce the American sugar tonnage under the normal capacity of each plant. Last year the mill ran 68 days, which is a very short run. "With our new yards we can handle more than 120,090 tons of beets, assuring more than a 100 day's run. If our nlunt nrult-r the reduction

x [order it will mean a serious loss for I the entire area. We should have -I more production of beet sugar ratha! er than have the acreage reduc- - ‘ ed,” officials stated. s At the Decatur plant alone more r i than $400,001) has already been paid | to growers for the 1933 beet crop, r ‘ Assurance has been given that an i ! additional payment will be made ■i sometime before July 1. depending I ! on the sales of the remaining stock II of sugar, pulp and molasses progressed at the local plant. Under i the terms if the new 50-50 contract I ' the grower receives % of the net I proceeds from the sale of tile pro t ‘ducts manufactured by the company, and is. therefore, deeply in- . [ terested in the affect of the propos- .' ed act on the industry. Up to this t l writing the growers have received 3 1 advances of $5.50 per ton on the ■ \ crop harvested last fall. II The operation of the plant last ; year also meant the expenditure r I of more than SIOO,OOO in improving i and rebuilding the yards and ren-

'ovatlng the plant. I Sufficient acreage has been signed up to Insure the Decatur plant of a normal run. Many farmers I would like to grow beela this year | I who have not been able to secure | contracts and it is hoped that aeI tion by congress will not make it i necessary for the company to ro--1 turn any of the contracts already i signed by the growers. .Mr. Snyder and members o' the local company are enthusiastic over local conditions and the interest farmers and sugar users have dis- ' played over the operation of the factory. ‘The cooperation shown [here is wonderful and we are doing I everything in our power to assure capacity operation of the mill next fall," .Mr. Snyder said. The beet sugar industry in America has been referred to as a hothouse industry, not adaptable to this country. Criticism of this attitude, in view of the hundreds of thousands of dollars paid to beet growers, mill and field workers is voiced by owners of l>eet sugar | plants and growers generally. The Local Company officers of the local company, in addition to Mr. Snyder are I). W. McMillen, president; H. A. Maddox, treasurer; H. \V. McMillen, secretary; H- C. Osken, plant superin[tendent; J. Ward Calland, agrical [lure and general field manager; [ John Neering. assistant superintendent and T. C. Smith, chief chemist. .Most of the officers and depart ment heads reside in Decatur. Voice Disapproval Recently the Decatur Chamber |of Commerce adopted a resolution and sent messages to United I States Senators Frederick Van I Nuys and Arthur R. Robinson and ito Congressman James I. Farley. ' urging them to cooperate in the move to prevent the passage of any [ legislation which might injure the [beet sugar irJustry by cutting acre-1 age below the normal capacity of I plants. Sugar beet plants operate in 22 states and in most of these states | senators and congressmen are op- ' l»osing the passage of the beet ' acreage reduction bill, citing the injury it would cause owners and the loss to beet growers, employe $ and Ito communities that thrived last | year due to the operation of the I plants. Well Financed The Central Sugar Company has sufficient timin'es to continue the [ successful operation and expansion : of the local factory. "When we decided to come here we did not ask I anything except good will and co- ! operation on the part of the citi-' zens and growers and we have been I given that,” Mr. Snyder said. "All I we need now is to have someone stop the passage of the beet sugar : reduction measure so that we may I continue to provide the sugar beet : growers of this area with an opporI tunity to continue growing an imi portant -non-surphts crop, of which ' we produce but one-fourth of the I amount we consume." ■ o Prince Is Beautician Cincinnati. — (U.R) The brother of Princess Irina Youssoupoff, who was awarded $126,800 in her suit in London against a motion picture company, is employed in a beauty salon here.

The deaths raised the toll ot the 1 six recent tragic fires to 28, with 1 more than 40 injured.
