taken to Crown Point, Ind. At

Don't think for an instant that
Europe is spurning our gold when |
tell you that two lots of American
gold aggregating S740,000 arrived
from the continent on the 23d of
September, consigned to Hiedelbach,
Ickelheimer & Co, who understand
that other consignments are soon to
follow. This is the first lot of gold
to be returned from Europe this
year. This firm was also the first to
ship gold from New York to Europe
this year and the first to pay the
premium exacted by the Government
on gold bars for Europe. The reason
for the return is that the heavy ship
ments of gold from New York to Eu-
rope the past few months was to
strengthen the credit of Europe.
The stress having been tided over by
the presence of large reserves in the
great banks of Europe the borrowed
money is to be returned. Other

York, and they will nscribe with
much feeling on their memorial
tablets, "Gone but not forgotten. ="

bounty under the law giving bounty
of cents pound on sugar pro

made at the Treasury Department.
There are two claims and they were
both in favor of the Chino Valley
Sugar Co. in San Bernardino County
Gala. The production was 240,00C
pounds of beet sugar, and the bounty
amounted to $4,000.
At Chino, in the southern part OF
this State, harvesting in the beet
field is being pushed vigorously. A
little over 2S00 tons has been de-
livered at the factory in little over
two weeks. There is an immense
crop and the factory is operating
smoothly. Most of the beets 50 fal
harvested are from dry land and the
tonnage was lighter than on the semi
moist land. The quality of the beet

tests showed as high as 20 percent
sugar, although Eastern chemists
stated last spring that no beet had
