The expenses of the sultan of Tur-
key are in proportion to his cuss-
| edness. They are estimated at no
less a sum than $43O,OOO, 1000. OF
this $7,5OO,OOO alone is spent on
the clothing of women, and $780,
900 on the sultan's own wardrobe.
Nearly another 81, 100000 is swal-
lowed up by presents So, 100000 for

much money can possibly be spent in

SUGAR MAKING is POSSIBLE HERE.
Value of COrnfieId Greatly Increased.

Sugar can now be economically
produced from the ordinary corn.
stalk, and to a Murravsville, Pa.
man, Prof. F. L. Stewart, is due
the honor for the discovery of the
process by which this necessity OF
every household can be produced
without the assistance of foreign
countries or dependence upon a com
r"-ati~.l- small section ofthe limited
States.
Several years ago Nprof Stewart
conceived the idea that the Ird;or
corn plant could be so grown 10
develop the juice of the stock, instead
of maturing the ripening the grain,
and that in developing the juices Nan
unusual amount of sugar would Te-
suit Since that time he has fully
demonstrated that his theorieS9weEe
correct and results have exceeded his
expectations. His attention was
first attracted by the difference in
appearance of cornstalks on which
the seed had ripened and stalks from
which the ear had been pulled while
yet in its green state; the stalks bear
ing the ripened grain being dry and
withered while others, standing in
the same hill from which the ear
had been pulled fully month earlier,
were green and plump, and others,
which were abOrtive-no ear having
develOped-were also green.
He took some of the green stalks,
extracted the juice and submitted it
to expert chemists for ANALYSIS. The
results showed sugar to exist in pay
ing quantities. Toprove whether or
not this was the result of local con-
ditlOns, he had corn stalks grown in
California, Nebraska, North Carolina
and Georgia from which the ears had
been pulled before maturing, submit
ted to the same tests, and in each in
stance the result was the same, prov
ing cOnclusively that everywhere
throughout the great corn belt Ofthe
United States, sugar can be produced
in paying quantities from cornstalks
The experiments have covered several
| years and it is known that it was
not the vagaries of a season which
produced the first good results.
| The removal of the ear before the
gram has matured produces a stall
containing properties almost iden Il
cal with sugar cane, but it goes fur
ther and gives bi-products which ado
greatly to the possibilities of profit
IN the culture of corn for the sugar it
may produce. The immature corn
can be prepared into Il variety ofpal-
atable, healthful food products, and
the exhausted chips are superior to
straw or wood dforpaperpulp. Prof.
Stewart shows wherein there is a
possible profit of from $50 to So to
the acre on the sugar product alone,
the food product and pulp adding
materially to that sum.
An exhibit of the new uses of corn
by the Stewart process can be seen
at the Worlds Fair at st. Louis. 1t
is located i'll the agricultural build
ing in block 90, assignment 50, front
ing on corridor d, and also on inner
isle of the corn section.

Every man in every town during
the course of lifetime has to ask a
favor of an editor-not an exception
to this rule. A man may escape a
doctor, keep clear of the courts, but
once in a lifetime, at least, every man
has to go to the newspaper to have
a certain piece put ina death notice,
marriage notice, etc, to have a
certain piece kept out or to have his
name printed in, or omitted from,
some item. 1t is therefore to your
interest to treat the editor fairly.
He desires to be fair; he would rath-
er do the right than the wrong thing;
but if you give him a kick, the dent
of it may be found in the top of your
own hat some day and you will never
know how it got there. Don't YOU
think you are immune; don't think
that providence has especially fav-
Ored you. Your time will come, and
when 1t does come, it will be a fine
investment if you have a friend in the
editors office Kan.

that this will be increased to about

Result of One Vote.

In the spring of 1913, at the an
nual election in Rhode Island, in one
of the towns the voting between the
federal and republican parties had
been for years very close, not more
than majority of one or two votes.
The polls closed at 6 O'Clock, and a

ing until late in the afternoon, hur-
riedlv crossed his fell DOT to

within one hundred feet the town
clock struck 6 and the polls closed
without his vote. The result was
that democrat or war representa-
tive from that town was elected by
one vote. When the general assem-
bly, met a few weeks later a demo-
crat or war United States senator
was chosen on joint ballot by one
majority. In 1914 the declaration
of war with England was carried in
the United States senate by one vote.
Gen. Jackson was nominated as

He went to his mother, and said
nothing about himself till he was sc
years old. Then from the privacy OF
his simple village life he went forth
to be a preacher and teacher. and to
do good in a more public way.

 The miners stood upon their rights. Organized capital secuted interference defiantly, threatening disaster to the republican party if the President step ped in. The cries of the cities swelled into a vail of anguish and despair, and still the miners were idle-the tracks of the coal roads blocked for miles with empty cars. In the midst of 1t all the "hasty" man in the White House wrote in reply to my anxious inquiry:
 T am slowly going on, step by step, working with my limited range of pow CTS and endeavoring neither to shirk Iany responsibilities nor yet to be drawn into such hasty and violent action as almost invariably proyokes reaction"

 No. he supposed not: but it was so. all the same. We had their leaders all bought" said he.
 He lied, to be plain about it. for John Mitchell and his men had proved abun- dantly that they were not that kind And, besides, he could not speak for the mine operators; he was not one of them. But the thing was not for whom he spoke, but what it was he said with such callous unconcern. Think of it for a moment and tell me which was, when all is said and done, the greater danger; the strike with all it might have stood for, or the cynicism that framed that speech? The country might outlive the horrors of coal famine in midwinter, but this other thing would kill as sure as slow poison. Mob-rule was not to be feared like that.-Jacob Riis in Outlook.
