sugar, about $50 pounds of sugar can
be secured. The Importance Of high
grade beets is very great, and the diff
ference between beets containing
twelve per cent. sugar and beets con-
tanning fifteen per cent. sugar may
mean the difference between profit and
loss. To illustrate this point, the
Binghamton factory has u capacity of
300 tons of beets per day, and the
working season consists of about 100
days. If the 30, 900 tons Of beets used
contain fifteen per cent. sugar, the
output will be about I, 900, 900 pounds
of sugar. If the beets contain only
twelve per cent. sugar, the product
will be only some 100000 pounds.
This difference of ., 100, 600 pounds of
sugar is an important consideration and
accounts for the desire of factories to
secure high 81 ade beets.
The new industry promises much

CHURCH ADVERTISING.
Me thods Used by a Massachusetts, Pastor to
Attract Large Congregations.

A Beverly (Mass.) correspondent of
Newspaperdom writes to that publica-
tion thus:
The pastor OF the Dane Street Con-
gregation Church. Rev. +. j. Van
Horn. before coming to Beverly, was
located out in Ohio, and became en-
bucd with some of the Western hustle,
and he rather astonished his good New
England deaconS one Sunday, when
he informed them that he wanted S1OO
to spend in advertising. In making
this request he said there was no
reason why, instead Of 100, they should
not have 800 people present at the
evening service ut the church. On the
following Saturday the advertising
matter appeared; but there Is still
suspicion that the pastor paid for 1t
himself. for awhile at least. At first
he began with flyers and printed cards,
which were left at the homes and scat
tered about the streets. Then he
would vary 1t with Quarter-sheet
poster hung In the store windows,
each announcing his subject for the
following Sunday evening,an inviting
the public to come and hear him.
These subjects were never sensational,
nor were his sermons. The result OF
this advertising began to show in an
increasing attendance at the meetings,
and count was made every Sunday
and the number announced the follow
ing Sunday. So well did the plan work
that at the next annual parish meet
ing it was voted to take n collection
at the Sunday evening service, and
allow the Rev. Mr.. Van Horn to take
At for his own use in advertising and
for securing special musical talent for
the services. About this time, now
nearly two years ago, he abandoned
the flyers, and took a SiX-inch space
in the Evening Times on Saturday,
and has continued it ever since. We
give him Il special position across the
top Of the fifth page, one inch deep,
and people now look as regularly for
his announcement as they do for the
local news in the paper. The result
Of this advertising. together with the
very practical sermons that he
breaches. is that instead Of the five
hundred that he hoped to get out at
the services. the number more fire.

less than 1000.

lime IS precipitated with the impuri-
ties which it has absorbed After
passing through various mixing tanks,
the Juice passes to the filter presses.
Here the juice is forced through cloth
and comes out almost as clear as wa.
ter. After passing through two sets
of these filter presses, the juice goes
to the bleaching process. This is
done by means of fumes of sulphur.
The juice is made to drip slowly over
board filed with holes, and tie sui
phur dIoxide Is brought into intimate
contact with every drop. All of these
processes are preliminary to the
"boiling down" After bleaching, the
juice goes to what is called the cripple
effect vacuum pans" These pans are
simply large upright boilers which
have had the mir partially exhausted
by means of pumps. The liquid boils
violently in them at temperature of
seventy degrees Fahrenheit, and the
"boiling down" is greatly fastened.
From the first boiling the juice goes
to the sulphuration tanks, where it is
through the filter presses, all traces of
sulphur and other impurities are re-
moved. The ''boiling down" is then
completed in vacuum pans. The next
operation is performed by the centri-
fugals. In. these rapidly revolving
cylinders the molasses is thrown off
from the particles of sugar. The prin-
ciple is the same as in the common
milk separator, where the cream is
thrown out from the milk. The sugar

raised at one end and the sugar is
slowly moved along, passing over
heated steam pipes until finally it
comes out of the other end of the
cylinder as crystaliZed sugar.
The most troublesome product to
handle is the molasses, which is sepa-
rated from the sugar by the centri-
fugals. 1t is stored in large tanks in a
room heated to a atemperature of about
115 degrees Fahrenheit. After remain
ing there for three weeks, it becomes
partially crystalliZed and is then taken
out and run through the mill again,
and portion of the sugar is extracted.

who are opposed to the local adj
ministration to meet at Falk's hall

voters who are deluded into the be-
lief that the object of this move
ment is to knock the alleged ring
into smithereens should think awhile
before attempting to carry out such
visionary scheme. Admitting for
the sake of argument that there is a
ring, some of the present ring de-
molishers were at one time in the
not too remote past members of a
certain ring to which the judgment
of endless generations will concede
the blue ribbon for having been the
most autocratic political organiza-
ton that ever existed IN this or any
other parish. The enmity that these
gentlemen have for rings is pain
fully sudden. AT one time we be-
lieve they really loved the things;
now their very sight conjures up IN
their minds visions of CHASTITY and
horrid nightmares. What change
hath come over the spirit Of thy
dreams, O reformers !

Genuine reform should receive the
support of all good citizens, but

for serious men to do their own

virtue for themselves and who do
not hesitate to blacken the fair
name of their fellow-men merely be-
cause the latter do not see things

LOUISIANA Sta TIE UV/-
TER,S/TY

The next session of the Louisiana
State University and Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Baton
Rouge will begin on Wednesday,
October II. All applicants must
present health certificates showing
that they have not been exposed to
any contagious disease during the
ten days preceding their entrance
to the University.
The University offers eight COM
and Latin-Science courses, leading
t. the degree of B. A., and the
Agricultural, Civil Engineering,
Commercial, General Science, Me-
chanical Engineering, and Sugar
courses, leading to the degree of
B. S. Each of these courses has
been so arranged as to give broad,
liberal education as we'll as special
training along the line indicated by
its title. In addition to these,
special and postgraduate courses
are provided.
The State University is being
rapidly pushed to the front rank of
American colleges. Endowed by
the National Government and hand
somely supported by State appro-
priations, it is steadily enlarging
its equipment, improving its facili-
ties for instruction, and increasing
it's attendance. A new dormltory
has been built this summer, new
laboratory building is nearing com
plet1on, and much apparatus has
been purchased for the scientific
departments.
The roll of graduates and alumni
of the University is not large; but it
contains the names Of leading men
in all sections Of the Southwest.
The corps Of students is small in
comparison with some universities
of more populous States; but it re-
presents the highest type Of young
Southern manhood. No where else
can better preparation for the battle
of life be obtained by the young
man who intends to live in Lousi-
ana or the Southwest.
Tuition is absolutely free to all
students, and living expenses are as
low as at any other institution Of
fering equal advantages.
