PROFIT IN SUGAR REEFS

From 1000 to $4,000 pounds Of beets
are refined daily at the Alvarado, CAL,
sugar refinery. 1t requires the labor of
125 men to do the work and they will
be given steady employment until the
first of January next. the internal
revenue collector for the district in
which Alvarado is located reports that
heretofore the average production OF
beets to an acre has been from fifteen
to eighteen tons. This year the aver
age has not fallen below twenty tons
and has gone as high rs twenty-three
tons. Lately a large amount Of i'm
proved machinery has been placed in
position, and as a result much better
work is done in all departments.
AS sugar beets are worth 81 a ton it
can readily be seen that they are a
profitable crop. An average of twenty
tons per acre would make the returns
to the farmer amount to $50 an acre,
That Is a good deal more money than
can be made by growing grain in any
section of the country. The quality OF
sugar beets grown in Montana is the
finest, as has been determined by scien.
titic analysis. There are countless
thousands Of acres of land in the state
already under ditch or within easy
reach Of water, peculiarly adapted to
the production of sugar beets. All the
natural conditions are ripe for the in
auguration of sugar making on a vast
scale in Montana. All that is required is
for some energetic man or body OF mon
to take hold Of the matter and give il
intelligent direction. The business in
Utah and California has passed the ex-
perimental stage. Machinery has been
perfected and experts are becoming
plentiful. Farmers will plant the seed
and gather the crop as soon as they are
assured Of a market. A sugar factory
in Montana would pay big profits right
from the start.

MONTANA has no state debt, which

states as 1924 100000. OF this big total
but S~l4,52S,lll is owed by the fourteen
w~esternmost states and territories,
about six per cent Of the entire amount.
These states and territories have q pop
ulation of S,24l ,GG4, or 1879 per cent of
the entire population Of the whole coun-
try. Considering the wonderful deyel-
opment OF the far west during the last
decade the financial condition of the
states composing that section is indeed
most remarkable. This assertion is
emphasized by the fact that the as
sessed valuation of the states and terri
tories owing fourteen million dollars Is

WAR FOOTING OF EUROPE.

How thoroughly Europe is dominated
by the. spirit Of militarism is shown by
the remarkable increase in the wal
strength of the leading nations during
the past twenty five years. In 1867, had
there been a general war, there would
have been in the field nearly seven mil
lion fighting men, Of which number
France would have furnished the largest
proportion, followed closely by Germany,
Russia third, and Great Britain last of
the great lowers. Twenty-Five years
later a competent authority gives the
numerical strength Of the modified
forces of Europe as twelve and a half
millions, or nearly 100 per cent greater
than in 1867. The same authority says
that it the example of Germany and
France in their late military laws shall
be followed by the other powers it will
not be long before Europe will be able
to mobiliZ, twenty-five millions Of SOL
diers. OF this number Germany would
provide five millions, France over four
millions, Russia four millions, and the
other powers lesser numbers.
The results of ageneral European war,
judging from these figures, would be
the most terrible and disastrous in the
history of the world. Not only would
the victims of battle vastly outnumber
those OF any other war, but the conse-
quent disasters to trade and commerce
would spread over the continent of Eu-
rope. OF course the profit to the United
States of such a war would be beyond
calculation, but the progress of the tri-
umphs of peace, humanity and civiliza-
ton would not only be retarded but ac-
tually turned back and years would be
required before they again took up the
forward march. Perhaps it is a vivid
appreciation Of these awful consequences
that prevents the opening of hostilities,
for the first gun in the next struggle
between two Of the great powers of Eu-
rope will probably be the signal that
shall summon all of the others to arms.

COURSE OF FREE LECTURES. {

President Merritt, Of the Unity Club, Says
His society WIN Continue Thorn.
To the Independent.
We have been interested In hearing from
time TO time Of : proposed course Of leo
for charitable purposes. II has been said
that . course Of lectures Of . general liter
ary character was needed In this city. ana
would. of course, be much enjoyed. o.
pecially since. 40 the impression was con
veyed. nothing Of the kind had been under
taken here.
That such I course Of lectures would he
appreciated. and that the object indicated
10 a commsnd able one no person oan ques-
tion. Many in the city think. hOweyer.
that ths work Of general culture indicated
by such a course OF lectures, 40 some have
suggested. has been quite largely under
Unity CLUB for the past two years. The
Unity club has been favored with excellent
lectures from prominent citizens Of Helena.
and f.om others outside Of tbs city. That
those lectures have been app soiatsd has
been proven BY the large number Of per-
sons who have attended.
1t will be understood that the work the
Unity club has one has been quite in the
line or just such a course. o. has, from
time to time. been suggested in these col
umns. II would seem that q fair recogni-
ton of the work done by an already exist
ing organization in the city was timely and
but just.
1t is the purpose of the Unity club to con-
tinue the work it began two years ago, and
to this end arrangements have been made
with persons in the CITY, and with others
outside Of the city to deliver lectures the
coming year. 1hsre is every assurance
that the lectures of the PRESENT year will be
as much enjoyed as those of last year and
the year before. n they will be equally as
FREQ to all.
If the Unity club can in any way besides
the work it Il now doing help along any
good cause In the city it will gladly re.
