A PROFITABLE PRODUCT.

Special Agent c. F. Sayler has
reported to Secretary Wilson of
the Department of Agriculture
concerning recent Investigations
of the beet-sugar product of the
Uuited States.
This report shows that Cali
fornia is still the leading State in
production, with eighteen factories,
including one that is the largest
in the world. The report, how
ever, indicates that California will
have a formidable rival in Michi-
gan, where the waning of the
numbering industry has compelled
the investment of local capital in
other enterprises. Special Agent
Sayler says that Michigan will
operate fourteen factories next
season.
Ohio, Indiana, New York, Utah,
Colorado, North and South Dakota
Iand Illinois will install new fac
tories, raising the aggregate of
manufacturing plants in til e
United States to forty-two.
There is an ample scope for the
successful operation of all these
factories to meet the demand of
the American people for sugar
without infringing upon the profit
of the sugar trust. Millions of
pounds of sugar are imported into
this country every year, and until
this enormous foreign product is
met by home production these fac
tories can be made sources of pro-
fit to investors in those regions
where the sugar beet thrives at
the least cost of cultivation.
California was the pioneer in
this class of production, and the
lead it has secured can never be
approached except in the aggre-
gate product of all the factories of
the other State. The conditions
in this State are peculiarly fitted
for growing the sugar beet, and
the system of production has long
since passed the experimental
stage. The semi-arid regions of
California, where the best beets
are grown, will always be able to
compete with all others, owing to
the fact that these beets contain
larger percentage of saCcharine
and a better quality. In this State
there seems to be no limit to the
results of proper cultivation. The
area of sugar-beet acreage is con-
stantly increasing in this State
and the capacity of the factories
is taxed to the limit of production.
The profit to the producer is
sure, and by rotating his crop he
is enabled to renew the produc-
tivity of his soil from year to year
without intermission. ff ys
The bi-product of pulp from the
sugar factories is also valuable as
feed for the stock of the farmer,
between 40 and so per cent of the
original weight of the beets being
worked, according to the report of
Mr.. Sayler, into this form and re-
turned to the producer. '07
The hint of the Special Agent
regarding the superior quality of
beets reduced in the arid regions
will have the effect of stimulating
the effort to reclaim the vast tracts
of waterless regions of the South
west. 1t would not be surprising
ifthe demand for sugar eventually
forced irrigation of the arid re-
gion and, compelled the desert to
blossom as the rOSe--.S r. Past

AN EXPLOITATION or HORSfRADISH.

de dHdtreS OF Augustus CHI, a
Chicago retailer who has built up
profitable trade in dairy pro-
duce and fancy groceries through
advertising of a most distinctive
sort. Some years ago he became
convinced that publicity could be
turned to account in his business,
and after careful consideration of
ways in which his appropriation
necessarily a small one-could
be spent to best advantage, he
decided that a single Staple from
his stock must be made to bear
the expense of his campaign.
Horseradish had never been ad-
vertised to any marked extent, so
Cliff began to feature it in several
mediums, sinking his identity
under the bushes name of "Horse-
radish Jack" ."
Many a true word is spoken in
lest" seems to have been his mot
to-. He believed that the bare
word "horseradish" had an unde-
veloped humorous side, so in all
of his advertising he aimed direct
~ at the great American sense of
the ridiculous. His first medium
was a grotesque wagon, drawn by
a jackass-his registered trade
mark-and placarded with witt
cisms of his own Whiting. Viewed
as refined humor, the legends may
or may not have been pithy, but
the thing was at least striking and
in short time it began to bear
fruit in cash register. .s
; People had taken to calling me
Jack, SO | thought that might as
we'll carry the idea out to its con-
clusion and be a regular one" he
says.."The name caught'on from
the first, and has been so success
full that | have protected it by
registry. My experience during
the past few years has convinced
me that the public is willing to
spend very respectable sum OF
money upon fun, and if mer
chant is willing to advertise his
business after my peculiar method
he can get very good returns for
"a comparatively small expendi-
ture. Sometimes, of course, the
laugh is turned upon him and his
humorous ad comes back at him
like a boomerang, but on the
whole the method pays,
In casting about for a new and
wider medium he hit upon the
want ad columns of the dailies.
From twenty to fifty lines scatter
ed through the various subdivisions
of wants would give better results
than the same amount of spaces
hidden among several columns of
small display ads, he believed, so
after he had learned the publishers
rules and found out what would
be inserted and what would not,
he began to run two and three
line notices of the following sort
in the most prominent mediums of
that class
Wanted-Forty married women,
not over forty years old, to call for
samples of horseradish. Horse
radish Jack, 6S Randolph street.
Wanted-Doctors to cure their
patients and recommend my horse

Wanted-Furnished room with

And after that they parted for a
short time, Dorothy and Barbara going

and pay their bill, and meeting Dick
again with his belongings at Victoria

from Barbara, who was going to spend

Dick caught hold of her hand. "My

They were soon away from London

leave, and they had agreed to spend
the next two months by the sunny
shores Of the Mediterranean.

them thank you fer it if they knew 1t,
and If you was to mention her name
even it would set Mr.. David against
her forever. Never you trouble your
head about him; he's no worse off than
he's always been-better, in fact, for
he is richer now than before the Hall

Dick; he would agreed to have carried

just then.

The result of all this was that, two
days later, Dorothy and Barbara went
of to Bournemouth, accompanied by
Lorne Doone in a big basket, and there
they remained, quietly and gradually
recovering from the great shock of
Miss Dimsdale's death. II they were

not very happy in their simple lodg-
ings they were very peaceful, and once
Dick came and stayed at the hotel near
for a couple of days, and then Dorothy
was very happy indeed.
During this time their banns were
published in one of the churches At
Bournemouth and also in a London
church, in the parish of which Dick
engaged q room and put therein some
of his belongings, SO as to make him

things up in a wonderful way, so
that by the time Dorothy's twenty-first
birthday came everything was settled,
and he vas ready to hand over to her
the money to which she was entitled
under her aunt's will. Mr.. Marks
therefore wrote to her, telling her that
he was ready to hand over to-Barbara
the sum of one hundred pounds; to her,
Dorothy, a sum of thirteen hundred
and forty-ive pounds, the sum left
over and above after all expenses had
been paid. He asked her also when
she and Barbara would be able to
meet him and Mr.. Stevenson, the
executor Of Miss Dimsdale's will.
Dorothy replied at once that she
would be in London two days later,

The old man blinked his eyes a lit

and then took himself rather noisily
away, with a kindly hand-shake to
Barbara. Then it was David's turn to
say goodbye.

said, huskily, that l bought the old

CARTER GETS A PLUM.
Will Be Chairman of the ST. Louis Ma
tionaI Com mission.

1t is said that ex-senator Thomas II.
Carter of Montana will be chairman of
the st. Lo.is Worlds Fair National
Commission. OF course, the commission
ers do not intend to relinquish their pri-
vate business and devote themselves ex-
clusively to the work of the fair. Mr..
Carter expects to look after law business
in Montana and in New, York. Ex-Sen-
ator Thurston intends to make his prac-
tice the main thing. Ex-senator Lindsay
expects to form professional connections
in New York and to visit st. Louis as
the worlds fair business may require.
Prof. Northup intends to continue his
connection with the University of Mime
sofa. Frederick A. Belts of Connecticut
will be able to give more time to the fair
business. Col. John F. Miller viii be
able to devote his time to the worlds fair
and is likely to prove one of the most
efficient members of the commission.
Ex-Representative Glynn of New York
is one of the four commissioners to whom
the place will mean the chief vocation.
Ex-senator Mcbride of Oregon is a law
