factures which are decidedly worth while. In 1899 the sugar beet crop was grown on 135,000 acres, nl 1904 it used 240.000 acres. In 1909 the acreage had increased to 416,000 acres. That was the year covered by the latest census. In the same periods the tons of beets harvested had Increased from 734,000 to 2,175.000 and then to 3.965,000. Meanwhile the price of the beets per ton increased 36 per cent and the gross revenue per acre had risen 120 per cent to $57. which is a very handsome return from farm land. In ten years the sum paid to growers for sugar beets rose from $3,485,320 to 23,791.000, a gain of 583 per cent. Needless to 6ay, the manufacture
of beet sugar showed corresponding expansion but the agricultural side of the industry is enough in Itself to
prove that it has "made good." There are lively times ahead for any party
or interest which may try to uproot
the sugar beet in the United States.

RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE. Six years ago in a murderous frenay Furgeson Lauder, a Ham znond machinist, shot and killed a friend after a quarrel. The shooting occurred along towards evening on a cold, rainy day. Lauder escaped through the rear door while the police entered the front door of the saloon In. which the murder occurred.

A SOCIALIST VIEW. The Chicago Dally World, a rabid
Socialist sheet, has the following
caption for an article: GARY WORKERS NOW FACE A BIO MORTGAGE 1 ,
Steel Trust Places $40,000,000 Lien
On Plant to Burden Employes. MILLS NOT A SUCCESS. Then follows a distorted account
of the action of the steel corporation in bonding its Gary works and plac
ing on record the mortgage thereof. It is stated that there is another load
for the workers to lift.
A little further on it is printed
that last year Gary works earned
$10,000,000, which is, by the way.
$6,400,000 more than it JId earn.
while In a following paragraph it is
recited that the mills are not a suc

everybody knows about the telephone." To this Mr. Vail replied: "Everybody knows about it, yes; but everybody doesnf think about it." He spent the $250,000 and the company's gross business Increased $750,000 that year . There is a world of significance in that little anecdote and It is all the
more valuable because of the magnitude of the corporation concerning
which it is told. No business is so large that, if it is an honorable and meritorious affair, it won't be benefited by having the attention of the great public directed to it, and new thoughts stirred up about it. Nothing so focuses public attention as that which is represented to
it every day in constantly varying
forms. And this can be done only by the daily paper. Philadelphia Rec

ONE objection to allowing Individuals to avenge their wrongs by murder is that the stories told of the events which lead up to homicide must always be one-sided, a far as hearing the dead man's defense is concerned.

Break away: "If all the stories are true concerning scandals in Crown Point at present, the place is in need of a rejuvenation. Affinities are getting to be as common as shade trees and the epidemic seems to be contagious. People in all walks of life are affected by the affinity bug and the geography does not limit the practice to any particular spot. It is time the lid was clamped down down tight and the goats separated from the sheep." Crown Point correspondence to This Times. LAW sales! Everybody Is doin it.

'STEEMED Gary Tribune prints that the Bull Moosers started out to reform the republican party in Lake county, but formed a new party Instead. Thank heavens! We don't have to stand for the spectacle of Brother A. F. Knotts acting as reformer as well as boss. U. S. STEEL earned $25,000,000 this last quarter. This comes from allowlnsr
the humble $1.(5 a day laborer to buy
stock. He makes his wheelbarrow go twice as fast as formerly. Also, Brother Tom Knotts, as reformer and democratic boss of Gary, is still undecided whether the "patch will ride on the mule or be bull mooelve. NICE thing now to be a bull moose In this county with Brother A. F. Knotts as the boss and Brother Tom nearby as the spear bearer. SOCIALIST who quoted famous phrase "E Pluribus Unum" at the Hungarian picnic in Lakewoods park and thereby caused a riot when the sons of toil thought that he was Insulting them ought to have been a-Iart that x
