Young Stock as Breeders.

1t is an accepted fact that the sue
cessful operation of any large ma
chine depends upon the proper mec-
hanism and adjustment of each part
making up the intricate whole. Like
an engine with a fly wheel that is
not perfectly balanced, so the animal
organization of faulty proportions is
only able to perform its work to
moderate extent. The defective parts
of such an animal, when taxed to its
full capacity, become a source of dan
ger that involves the entire system.
Offspring of very young animals with
an immature system, or one that is
imperfeetly developed, inherit this
condition and are thus predisposed to
the evils arising from the lack of
strength anu constitutional vigor.
Such effects are not always apparent
in a single generation, but If the prac-
tice of breeding from immature ami
mails is continued for successive gen
,elations. unfayorable results are liable
to be produced.

Laundry on the Ocean.

1t is practice with ocean liners to
save up their soiled linen, towels, etc,
until port is reached, and passengers
are obliged to do the same thing. Now,
however. one steamship has been pro-

ing for the wash of the ship and that

Sugar Beet Notes.

Two-thirds of the worlds sugar is
now produced from beets Prior TO
1912 the worlds production Of beet
sugar had never reached 100000 tons !;
in the present crop year it is, according
to latest estimates, 1910, 900 tons, whle
the cane sugar crop, which IN 1871 ,
was 500, 900 tons, is in the present year
2,904 900 tons. Thus cane sugar pro-
duction has scarcely doubled during the
period under consideration, while that
from beets has more than quintupled
Meantime the price has fallen more than
one half, the average cost in foreign
country of all sugar imported into the
United States in the fiscal year 1872 be-
ing 5.37c per pound and in 1899 , 39c
per pound. No development of the
worlds production of foodstutfs has
been more rapid or striking than that
with reference to beet sugar. In 1894 .
the total beet sugar crop of the world
was but 1872 900 tons; 10y 1860 it had
reached 536, 600 tons; in 1919 it was
l,2l9,000 tons in 1854 ,, 2,545, 600 tons (;
in 1919, 4,792, 1913 tons, and in 1892.
1900, 5,5lo,000 tons. In iS54-5 beet
sugar formed 10 per cent. of the worlds
total sugar crop and in lS99-l9OO II
formed sc per cent. Thus the sugar
producing area of the world has in less
than half century been shifted from
the tropics northward, and the farmer
of the temperate zone has shown bis
ability not only to compete with the low
priced labor of the tropics, but in doing
so to reduce by one.half the cost of the
article produced. These facts are OF
great interest in Michigan where beet
sugar production has recently been I'M
dertaken on large scale and no doubt
will have great influence in assisting
congress to determine the proper course
in regard TO the sugar tariff, question
which just now is of special importance
on account Of the relations between this
government and Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines.

"Deride Not Any Mans Infirmities.

You may, however, tell any man how
he may get rid of his intirmities. Most

dition causes weakness Of some particu-
lar organ or of the whole body weak

GRATED Carriages.
The QUEEN IN HER GLORY.
The Prize Winners for Best
Decorated Carriages Named
BY the Judges.

Yesterday afternoon the great
Flower Parade advertised as one of
the attractions for Street Fair week
came of at the advertised time.
Miss Sinkle Marshall had the
parade in charge as sdirector, and
assigned each decorated vehicle to
a place in line.
The Elks had also given the ac-
complished directressall the aid she
needed in making ereditable dis
play.
Every one who saw this great
parade had but one word of COM
ment on the flower pageant, and it
was complimentary, both TO the la
dies in the parade, their horses, car
riages and other trappings. The
reporter viewed the procession
from nearby point, and he can
truthful say that he never beheld
a prettier sight than the Flower
Parade, and he speaks the senti-
ments of all who behelG the beauti.
full procession. There, was over a
dozen vehicles IN view that should
have had prizes, but as there
we're only three prizes offered, some
dozen or more had to be over
looked by the judges, and no one
should feel hurt at the decision
rendered.
The procession was formed -on
State street between 7th and 9Th,
and moved to Broad street, thence
east on Broad street toHazel, north
on Hazel to Clinton and west to Elm
and south to Broad, thence west to
State Line. Here the carriages
we're driven through the fair
grounds and disbanded. The judges
awarded the prizes as follows;
First prize gold medal was
awarded to the "Gibson Girls"
second prize a silk parasol, was
awarded to Mrs. Nettie Kline and
third prize a fine parlor lamp was
awarded to Mrs. G. G. Taylor.

SOLDIER DISCHARGES.
the Appeals of Relatives of Men
In the Philippines.

Army authorities have become in
censed at the ridiculous excuses which
are sometimes trumped up by the rela-
tives and friends of soldiers who wish
to evade military service and who de-
sire their premature discharge from
the army. Gen.. Miles has decided to
discourage this system of securing
favors, especially as it appears that in
many cases the reasons given are spu-
rious.
At least, it is Gen. Miles name which
appears at the foot of letter which
has been sent to Gen. Otis and other
department commanders, which says:
I'm view of the fact that many APP
plications for discharge of enlisted men
are received at this Office, based on
statements that the parents, sisters,
brothers, etc. are sick or that for some
reason since their enlistment their rela-
tives have become destitute, which con-
dition in many cases existed when the
men enlisted, and which statements
are frequently found to be false and
only used in order to enable the men
to be discharged and then enlist in
other regiments, the major general
commanding the army directs that Of
fcers 10 whom the applications are sub
mitted should not favor them nor for
ward them, as a rule, unless they have
first obtained proof of the statements s
or are otherwise convinced of the truth
thereof"
