And BE Carries the News to Chester at Wash
ingtoa, Who Treats Him Likes
Prince.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has spec
ial from Waynesviile, Ohio, telling how
Daniel Davis, small farmer, discov-
cred, after twenty years Of study, the
secret Of making sugar from sorghum.
Mr. Davis theory is that heretofore
the graduating element in the cane has
not been extracted-the cones, the
prsms, and what not-but by the i'm
perfect means to express the juice, this
important element has been undistnrbed
and cast away with the macerated cane.
His invention extracts all this, and not
only renders the production of sorghum
sugar possible, but increases the product
of the cane about 80 per cent.
His confident hopes realized, the next
movement Mr.. Davis was impressed as
absolutely necessary for him to make
was TO carry the news TO Chester. He
must go at once to headquarters, TO
Washington city, TO the White House,
to the President. Such assurance could
only be inspired by his faith in his in
vention aud his unlimited confidence in
the reception it would receive by those
capable of approaching it. TO WASH
ington? Why, he hadn't the price Of
ticket. How was he to get there, and
how was he TO get back if he got there
But, step by step, what seems at first
impossible becomes 10 the brave and
daring spirit not only possible but
probable, and an accomplished realiza- |
ton. Skirmishing around Mr.. Davis
succeeded in gathering together suffi-
cient means to buy ticket from here |
to Washington. His good wife packed |
up enough luncheon in his knapsack for
the pilgrimage, and, bidding her and
the children adieu, he boarded the cars |
for Washington.
Arriving there, he inquired for and |
found clearinghouse at 81 per day.
