FINE NEW INDUSTRY STARTED IN INDIANA Great Future tor Sugar Production in Koosier State.

I 2 for 1 1

Much interest ha born aroused throughout Indiana over the erection of a beet sugar factory at Decatur. This is 10 initial step In tba development of bb eatlroly ew iudastry, and Its Importance lo the agricultural development of the state can scarcely bo exaggerated. There arc tons of thousands of acres of land in Indiana suitable for the raising of sugar Lic -The fact that the Decatur factory is being hullt by men of long experience in tho business insures its success, and tho construction of other factories Is bound to follow, provided, of course, that tho Industry is not crippled by hostile tariff legislation. The magnitude of the beet sugar Industry and its capaeity for development In tho United Rates Is not generally indcrMwv!. To the entire

world's tf nsuinptiou of sugar the beet j

contributes ono-half. The production In the United Str.t has Increased from 47.000 tons ,n 183T to GOO.000 tons In 1911. To prodHC? h tonnage 350,600 acres were planed to beets and possibilities of the industry can be ur derstood whrn it it Uauwn that the agricultural depart. -oat estimates that there are in this country 247,000,000 acres suitable for tLe raising of this crop. Tho indirect advantages to our agriculture tkrouxh tho development of

the beot sugar Industry are qulto as

Important as the direct. As a sou conservator and as a guido to scientific tillage, it has no equal. From every pound of sugar produced in this ceuntry from the beet, the farmer receives 21-3 cents, and the economic value of the industry eaa best be understood wha it la known that the amount expended in the United States for the labor and raaterisd used in making a pound of domestic beet sugar is eight times that expended for the same items In refining a pound of sugar from imported raws. The industry, however, is now seriously menaced through the attacks of tho Xew York Importers. The two

interests are antagonistic and the importers naturally desire to remove their only competitor from the field. In advocating the removal of the daty on sugar, they are seeking to destroy the beet sugar industry and thereby gain a monopoly in this commodity.

Opp-jsing forces are lining up in

teres to : American citizen. "T' h?- .-ti-trcd long enough under V. p i -itatlon thtt our interests are ldcnucn" with those of the sugar importers anil refiners," Faid Mr. Hamlin, at Indianapolis, "and we are determined lo have a showdown this winter that will prove to the American

consumer the true character of some

gentlemen who have been posing as his friends. I refer especially to John M- Arbuckle and C. A. Spreckels. These two men are now loudly demanding the abolition of the sagar duty, asserting that they are actuated by their love for tho dear consumer. Those who are acquainted with these two men aaay well saaile to see them posing as phllaathropUta and while they Indulge in the smile, they had better bury their watches in their shoes and place their hands on their

pooketbooks. The reason Arbuckle and Spree VI es want free sugar Is clear.

They want to secure foreign raw cane ' sugar for their refineries and hope at the same time to destroy their only " competition by puttisg beet sugar out

of the aaarket. They extract toll from every ounce of foreign caae sugar they refine, but cannot squeeze tribute from the beet sugar grewers. In fact, every pound cf beet sugar that reaches the

consumer means one pound less to pass through their refineries. The , American consumer can form his own , oplalos of what will happen If the duty on sugar is abolished, by a glance at I the ceffee market Coffee comes in ' duty free, yet, thanks to the monopoly " controlled by John Arbuckle, that ' commodity has doubled in price within a year. Had It not been for the timely arrival upon tho market of this 1 year's domestic beet sugar crop amounting to something like GOO.000 tons, the price of sugar would have eoarea to 10 or 11 cents wholesalo in this country Instead of to IVi, where the roflners forced it when the shortago of the world's supplv was announced following the unprecedented shortages to Europe caused by drought Tho arrival of the domestic crop brought down the refiners' price nearly 1 cents per pound. Docs the America I consumor want the history of sugar ! to repeat that of coffee T"

county." Zabcd was for about two weeks. Then Deacon Gray, who was a widower and wanted Prudence for his second wife, gave up some information about Zabcd. When he had sworn her to tho most awful secrecy he confessed that the young man had a live frog in his stomach and would probably go mad within two years and cut the throat of his wife if he had one. The Irog had lumped down Zabed's throat one day

when he was drinking from the horse pond, and, though thousands of In-1 51

ducements had been held out to him,) nothing, could prevail upon him fe Jump out. J Well, where is the young girl, no matter how her heart tunks with love, ' who i3 going to marry a young man srith n live and growing frog iu his stomach? She can't be found. She wasn't found in this case. Prudence Smith cooled off on Zabcd Winters, and he went about -with his chin in' the air nnd was too proud to ask forj an explanation. It was a year before

one came. Then a lightning rod man,

stayed overnight at Smith's, andafter supper be got to talking about frogs. Seeing he was posted on the sabjet. Prudence made bold to ask him if he

had ever heard of a frog taking p in-'

side onaxters. and he answered that

such a thing was absolutely lmpoaelble and beyond belief. Zabed Winters had probably swallowed a small fix? and the fish might be growing, bBt If

pointed, and Farmer Smith stopped

choppmsr wood long enough to extend a band and say: "Zabed, you gol durned idiot, don't you know when you've got geod thing? Don't fool around any mete."

Zabed didn't want to. but before It

bad been decided which minister

should marry them old Mrs. Snyder struck his trail. She was too old to

marry, but not too old to utter a warn-

lnr for the benefit of a young man

who had put in a day hoeing her gar

den and refused to take pay for it She told him right strait out that Prudence Smith snored like a steam engine, that she bad six toes on her right foot and only four o.n her left, that she had bad St Vitus' dance when a baby and that it was sure to come back on her some day. It might not be a year after marriage that Zabcd

would come up from the cornfield some afternoon' and find her dancing all around the dooryard and kkking as high as a fence. That settled Zabed. He wanted Prudence, but he didn't want a dancing dervish. More coldness, more strained relations. It was a full year before old Mrs. Bnyer was proved a liar, and it took three months

longer to make up and set another date. Thlnes had ran smoothly to

within a fortnight of the date when a tin peddler came along and bought a. sheepskin of Zabcd and then told him

that. Prudence Smith was deaf in the

right car, nearsighted In both eyes'ano

would bo tongue tied beforo she was two years older. Zabed hadn't noticed

the deafness or blindness, but he be

lieved in tin peddlers and at once grew

frigid. Result, another year lost
