SNGAR EACTnRLES

Topeka, KANSAS, March DIR. l..
Schrlndtweller, of Cologne, Germany,
is in Kansas as the representative of a
German company to establish factories
for the manufacture of sugar from
beets. He regards the Kansas soil and
climate as well adapted to sugar beet
culture, and has visited the agricultural
college at Manhattan, and Investigated
the matter in other parts of the state,
and is sanguine of the success of the
proposed industry He has been en-
gagged in the business for fifty years.
and is enthusiastic over the outlook
here. He says:
My plan is to establish ten sugar
factories in the state, each being in the
center of district which will be four
teen miles square. Ifeverything is salts
factory we Will make 5000 tons of sugar
in Kansas next year. / am satisfied
that the climate is just what we need,
and if we can secure water we will have
no difficulty. We can run our factories
$50 days. The factories will cost about
$4,000, and will have capacity of
working up 400 tons of beets per day,
and will employ $50 men. In Germany
we have about 700 factories, and many
farmers who own 500 or 600 acres of
land, and who have 300 or 800 acres in
beets, work up their own beets by the
use of small plant. They reduce the
beets to syrup, and send that to the
factory. while the refuse is feed to
stock. You have no idea what excel
lent feed 1t makes. Horses will thrive
and grow fat on thirty pounds of the
pulp per day. Every farmer grows the
sugar beet, if only for feed.''

From Sharon.

I'D. INDEX: see that quite number of
Sharon people are writing for your paper. and
it is the leading paper in this part of the coun-
ty.
1t is thought that Ebert Rule may become
an alliance man; he is interested in reading
and writing to the INDEX. He wrote that Hen
ton refused to vote for a brother in the church :;
he did not tell that Henton voted for a much
better man to fill the place. Was the man he
refused to vote for an alliance candidate? FL
bert claims to be a reformer, but he reforms
the wrong way; he speaks of the alliance
threatening TO move their trade from certain
store, without telling their just cause for do
ing so, and said that the proprietor did not
sign for Henton's removal. We know that he
did sign the remonstrance to retain him. He
said he was the only republican in the town
ship that did not sign for removal. So there
are only twelve in this township; glory to God |!
since VIM. Rule received his COMMISSION, FL
bert is never seen at the postoffice as soon as
the mail comes, with his mouth watering any
more. WOLVERINE.

Congress has adjourned without max

people along the border of the Strip.
just waiting an opportunity to step in
and secure claims. There are hundreds
of families already in the Strip, who are
being driven out by the soldiers. One
third of these people are living from
hand-to-mouth, and will now expect the
government or the state to make an ap-
propriation for their support. Those
who went in, went with their eyes open.
and in violation Of law. They had the
example of the Oklahoma boomers
fresh in their minds. One-half of these
boomers have probably lett better lands
IN Kansas, but they wanted to be In the
swim. They wanted the excitement of
new home; some wanted to secure
claims to sell to those who could not
secure them. They wanted the land
because it was free, and some of these
boomers have probably used their pre-
emption rights two or three times IN
Kansas. They can to-day buy better
land In Barber county, and get it at a
less price than the cost of starving in
the Strip for five years, and then pay
ing the government S1.25 per acre. The
fact is, there are thousands of people
whO viii voluntarily put themselves in
TO condition of suffering. and then de
pend on the charity Of the government
or the charity Of their neighbors to keep
them from starvation. Such people are
not deserving of much sympathy, espec-
tally when we have honest and deserv-
ing poverty in our midst.

From Sand Creek.

Meeting called to order by the president, and
the secretary read the communications from
| Senator Ingalls, and Senator Kelley. The first
said:
I'm my speech, on January I4th, / said the
revolution in Kansas was not republican de-
Feat. have before me one thousand letters
asking for an explanation, and still they come.
My answer will make PLAIN the duty of repub-
lcans, and, hope give direction to your or
ganization. War has commenced against the
oppression of capital; new lines are forming;
Kansas, true to her record, will lie on the side
of the people and for freedom. Who will lead
the host to battle, is not so important as the
victory. The crucible of war Will bring the
fighting men to the front. My friends will
soon have a chance, as there will be good fight
ing along the line. lCheers.l What do you
want with reciprocity club? You cannot kill
a lion by throwing rose water in his face. Capt.
tai has formed a conspiracy against the people,
Demonatizing silver was only one act among
many, that has robbed labor. Yours in hope
of brighter day fOrour party.
AMEN! AMEN! HURRAH for Ingalls,! God
bless him! He shall lead us in 90; he will be
another Lincoln; he will redeem u.s." said
Jones.
Then the secretary read in substance from
Kelley:
~ said, in my talk you referred to, that the
party would have new policy. l meant by
that we would have a new fighting ground.
The east has collected all the money in the
country. The government has aided them in
doing it. Our presidents have all been COM
mitted to the policy of Wall street. The rail-
roads skin us; the factories skin US; the banks
skin us, and it all goes east The west must do
something for itself. Do it now. Keep these
things before you, and you will not go far
wrong Don't think the tariff will be an issue
in the next fight. Our best men are getting
sick of it; the more we fight for labor the hard
er it fights us. Plumb says the farmer is not
protected in anything. and corporation agents
have been sticking tariff tax on him for thir-
ty years. Yours in hope of new and better
way"
AMEN said Jones
The Doctor said: "Kelley was wrong; tariff
would be an issue as long as the farmer was
taxed to support the wealthy. and resubmis-
sion would be an issue while there was drug
store in Kansas
Smith said that the letters read have only
confused us; while he knew they were great
men. at the same time they were certainly
badly COMPOUNDED.
Jones said God has chosen the weak things
of this world to confound the wise
Question was called for, and the vote stood,
four for and six against reciprocity club.
Meeting adjourned to meet again next Sarur-
day evening TO discuss the merits of those let

PUEBLO, March 8. 1921.
Ed. INDEX: Yesterday met a man by the
name of s. G. Sheaffer. He is running the
creamery at Ness City, and the one at Nc
Cracker. He keeps a produce store here, and
sells all the butter he receives from both
creameFies, by wholesale and retail. He wants
to rent and run the Medicine Lodge creamery,
providing he can mees with proper encourage
ment by the owners lad by the farmers for
the supply Of cream. For information, 1 told
him to write T. l.. Lindley. He only would
make butter; buy only the cream, and make
the price for + the first of every month, pay
according to its tested value snd have it gath
cred every day. To make it profitable to MIN.
he would have to engage six rigs to gather
the cream. He also wants me 60 buy up an
the butter, eggs and chickens In your country.

The Cresset copies, without comment.
an article from the Eagle, about ex-
travagance OF the lower house in print
ing the daily journal of the two houses
on heavy book paper. The article
winds up by saying that ''such extrava-
gance would have driven the reDubIi-
can party from power in Its palmiest
days" We would suggest to both the
above papers that the printing contract
of the republican incumbent does not
expire till July. The present extrava.
gance is being carried out by republi-
can contract with a republican state
printer. and that it did help to 'drive
the republican party from power in it's

While some of our contemporaries
are making such fuss about the cost
ly legislature of Kansas, we beg to re-
mind them that solid republican sen.
ate and republican governor have
agreed to these extravagances. We al
so beg to remind them that the solid
republican congress, that just adjourn
ed, was the most extravagant one this
country has known. Only during the
war have the appropriations reached
such figure as that reached by Reeds
congress. Over $500, 100000 year, OF
more than billion of dollars for one
congress. The democratic surplus has
been wiped out, and the country is
taxed to death, and yet our public debt
is increasing. Please waste some of
your energy on congress.

The state bounty on sorghum sugar
has been reduced from two cents pei
pound to three-fourths of a cent pei
pound. The bill appropriatlng $50 ,OOe
to pay bounties already earned has pass
ed both houses, and the sugar factories
can now get, the money that is due them
The passage of the bill reducing the
bounty was a compromise measure. The
legislature thought there was mon
money in sugar making now without
any bounty, than there was two years
ago with the bounty. If the factories
in Kansas are not allowed to manufac-
ture alcohol, we fail to discover how
they are going to keep up with recent
discoveries in sugar making. If they
manufacture alcohol and vinegar in
connection with making sugar, there is
alarge margin for profit. Our mill will
run this year, and will make more sugar
than any mill in Kansas, as usual.

John y. burlington, was sent to

Friday. His journey started at Boon

Strange how different persons, with
different interests, will see an object in
such different lights. Some democrat
le papers are claiming that the alliance
IS dead because the House refused to
pass the resubmission bill. The. Wich-

the part of the alliance, as it will not
give the republican party a chance to
correct its mistakes.
