The largest single producer of cane
sugar is Java, which last year turned
out $4,000 tons, Cuba coming next
with 100000 tons, Louisiana third
with 100000 tons. Hawaii fourth with
100000 tons, Mauritius fifth with 160,-
600 tons, Brazil sixth with 10000
tons and Peru seventh with 100000
tons. No other state or country pro-
duced over 100000 tons, the nearest
approach to it being by Demerara
and Egypt, each with 10000 tons.
1t also appears from the Statist
that but one factory in Great Britain
now refnes cane sugar, all the others
being exclusively occupied in prepar-
ing for the market the raw product
of the beet farms of Germany,
France, Austria and Russia. There
are in the United States 81 beet
sugar factories, representing an in
vestment of 2O,95S.j19. and which
produced 71,427 tons of sugar last
year, valued at S7.223S57. This is.
however, much below the normal
yield, because 1900 was the worst
year the beet sugar growers have
ever known. Six factories were not
in operation. The total capacity of
the 81 factories is 100000 tons an
nually.
All of this goes to prove that the
beet sugar industry is great and
growing one. especially abroad, and
to suggest that This country. with its
vast extent Of land available fer
sugar beet culture. may well give still
more earnest attention and effort to
is develonmeNt.

The Little minister

One of the Frohman companies
presented "The Little Minister" in
the Masonic opera house last even

well pleased with the entertainment.
All of the members of the cast were
finished performers and there was
not dull or trying line in the play
as presented by them. Miss Payne,
who took the part Of "Babbie" that
made Maude Adams famous, was
perfection in,the role. She has the
figure and the face required by the
part. Her voice and action could
not have been improved upon and
the audience was sorry that there
were no more acts in which the lady
might be seen. Oskaloosa people
will welcome her should she chance

CONCLUDING REMARKS.
West Des Moines township has al
ways been peaceful, quiet, law-abid-
ing community, with scarcely any
lawsuits, quarrels or fights to speak
of. In fact, neighborhood in which
it is an honor to live. The Never
work Willies'have most always given
the neighborhood wide berth, and
beggars have been an exception and
not the rule. The new railroad will,
however, probably bring in this un-
desirable class in considerable num-
bers, although not many have APP
peared here as yet. 1t Is our opinion
thaG the best way to test the WORTH
ness of these people who are depend
ing on charity is to offer them work !;
that is, try the "ho work, no eat"
plan on them, and they will soon
"spot" the neighborhood and keep
at safe distance. Several fights en-
sued here last summer among rail-
readers, but our citizens will continue
peaceful and law-abiding.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to he
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect. strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the Kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
