farmers of the country should keen that money at home in other words, nut it in their own pockets." The foregoing statement appears in a bulletin which the Department of Ag - riculture has lust issued review ing the progress 01 uie oeet sugar muusiry . . c i a. a j j during the past year, ihe report pro- . . ceeds to point out that while the production of sugar from beets has advanced very rapidly, more than 5,000,000 tons of beets i.aving been grown last season, 2,000,000 acres additional should be devoted to this crop in order to produce at home the sugar now purchased from abroad. This is a subject of particular interest to Indiana for the reason that this state lies in the center of ODe of the most important beet sugar producing sections of the country. Not only have repeated tests in sugar beet growing demonstrated that Indiana soil is adapted to the production of this valuable crop, but the successful operation during the past season of the state's first beet sugar factory has proved it conclusively.

That the upbuilding of this industry is impor - tant to the consumers as well as to the producers of the state was shown plainly enough in lifl when the price of sugar, which had gone skyrocketing up to 10 cents a pound and was being held at $6.75 to $7.50 per hundred pounds wholesale by the trust and other renn ers, camelumbling down to its normal level as soon as the yield of the sugar beet fields came upon the market IT SK00K HIS NERVES. An Incident That Made a Man Fee) Queer For Awhile. fOne night," said a lawyer, "I was preparing sorao tedious" pleadings which had to be submitted to court the following morning, and, knowing that I would need every moment of my time, I locked myself in a small private consultation room in the rear of my suit, where no chance caller could interrupt me. The room is very diminutive, with only one window, looking into a court, and no furniture except a table and two or three chairs. Well, I worked on steadily hour after hour long after the city had settled into sleep and silence. The building was so still I could hear eren an occasional mouse scamper acToss the floor alone. At last I concluded the task and, sitting erect in my chair, began to stretcn my cramped limbs. "As I did so my eyei happened to fall on a lighted cigar stump lying on the carpet not four feet away, and I stopped stock still, frolen with amazement. I do not smoke. I had been sitting for hours in that little locked room. I could swear that no one had entered; The window was tightly closed, yet there right at my feet lay t half consumed ciar with a great lire coal itill glowing at the end. It seems ridiculous to confess, but a thrill of horror ran through me like a galranic shock. A hallucination of any kind is an appalling thing; it makes no difference how grotesque or homelvrthe subject. It carries such frightful suggestion of breakdown in one's mental engine room.
