Raising Beets.

E. Rabbethge of Klien- Wantzleben,
Germany, member of the largest
sugar beet seed producing house in the
world, is in Michigan on tour of in
spection of the beet sugar sections. Mr..
Rabbethge brings us some interesting
information in making comparisons of
American and German methods in rails
ing the beets.
American farmers demand too high
prices and pay too high wages for farm
help to make it possible for the manu-
facturer to secure profit, he says. In
Germany 20 cents per day to children
and from 40 to so cents to adults is paid
for field labor, while farmers here pay
children as high as 81 and men and
women $3.50 per day. German farmers
receive "a per ton for beets flat, irrespec-
tive of sugar percentage, while Ameri-
can farmers get from $3.50 to S., de-
pending on percentage.
There could be no simpler illustration
Of the necessity of strict and rigid high

are to make beet sugar manufacture
successful in this country. Of course,
reduction of wages to the German stand
ard cannot be thought of for moment.
low rate per ton to raisers of beets be
considered. If anything the tendency
of the American farmer is to secure
higher price for his crop, rather than to
reduce it so that the factory can be sue
cessful. The making of all the sugar
we consume in this country can be
brought about if we can keep out the
cheap-labor foreign sugars. The indus
try can be made immensely profitable to
the farmer and to the manufacturer,
and at the same time afford the con-
sumner the product at reasonable prices.
But the industry will languish and
eventually fail if the tariff thinkers and
the needless bunglers and selfish trust
combinations are PERMITTED to monkey
with the protective laws to permit the
flow Of cheap-labor sugar through our
ports.
What the industry needs to make it a
great one. bringing prosperity to those
great sections where the soil and climate
are favorable, is repeal of the Cuban
reciprocity atrocity and an ultimate pro-
hibitive tariff on all foreign sugars of
whatever class. Saginaw Courier-Her-

Excellent Low-Prlced Coffee.
"Mo-Ka," Put Up by The Smart e.

Fox Company, Saginaw, Mich.
Well pleased are the managers Of
hotels, restaurants and boarding
houses and all who are large buyers
of coffee, who have investigated the
merits of "Mo-Ka," the excellent and
low priced brand of coffee put up by
the Smart & Fox Company, whole
sale grocers and coffee roasters, Sagl-
nav. Mich. Housekeepers of moder-
ate means will find in "Mo-Ka" all
they can wish for in a satisfactory
coffee, at q great saving of expense.

artistically blended, and put up in air.
tight packages, "Mo-Ka' affords all
who wish q cup of good coffee an
article at a very low price. The
pound package retails at 20 cents at
all grocers.
It must be borne in mind that MO
Ka' coffee has no affinity with the
cheap and worthless so-called 'cof-
fees'' that spoil so many anticipated
breakfasts. Buyers of cheap substi-
suites for "Mo-Ka" coffee have only
the satisfaction that they did not
waste more money on tasteless or
bad-tasting and unwholesome coffee
which they were persuaded to accept.
If they had insisted on getting "Mo-
Ka, and rejected all 'just as good"
they would have avoided all this am
noyance.

roasted at Saginaw and its full
strength, freshness, aroma and flavor
are preserved to the buyer. while the
air-tight package insures cleanliness
and purity. Those who have not as
vet tried "Mo-Ka" should do so at
once, and they will be thankful for
this advice from us. They will get
good coffee for less than the price Of
worthless substitutes,

IN FAVOR.
e. S. Atherton Received Much En-
couragement.

The people of Durand and this com.
munity are well pleased to hear of the
encouragement given to Elmer S. Ath-
erton in his candidacy for the republi-
can nomination for probate judge.
This encouragement is accorded in all
sections of the county. Mr. Atherton
is asking for the nomination ON good,
square basis and presents common sense
logic. Such men as Mr., A. are the kind
the republican party like to place in
office.-Durand Express.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-06-17

Many republicans in Michigan who are
not at all persuaded that the arbitrary
and extreme change now demanded
relative to party conventions and party
nominations is altogether wise or will
bring to any extent the good results de-
sired excuse themselves for joining in
the cry for such change by saying, cit
seems to be popular with the people
and is going to win" There is some
thing good deal more cowardly and
contemptuous in this position than in
the attitude which the extreme reform
ers" charge against those who do not
fully agree with them. A man who
who favors an important and arbitrary
change of this kind only because he
thinks it going to win is demagogue
and hypocrite who would at any time
oppose the interests of his party and his
country, too, for that matter, if he was
quite certain that in so doing he was
correctly interpreting popular move
ment and would be with the faction
which was going to win. cadillac

owosso, FRIDAY. JUNE II 1904

The matter of adopting resolutions in
favor of doing away with all party eau
cuses and conventions was discussed by
the recent prohibition state convention
but the proposition was not approved.
1t was thought by those who had OBJ
served the workings of such law else
where that it would be too expensive to
candidates and would tend to put the
political control of counties and election
districts more directly in the hands of
those who could spend money for such
purposes than is true of the present sys-
tenn. Whether or not such results
would be necessarily connected with the
extreme type of primary reform in OPP
GRAFTON is an open question, perhaps,
but it should be noted that some of our
most jealous reformers in one direction
fear the effects of the extreme type of
reform now demanded by other critics
of present conditions.

JOHN |. CURTIS.
One of the Candidates for Nominate
of Sheriff.

Of Sheriff.
From the Durand Express.
1t will soon be the duty of the repub-
lican party to select candidate to run
for The important Office of sheriff of
Shiawassee county. 1t is expected
there will be half dozen men in the
race, one of the best known and most
likely to be chosen being John l.. Curtis,
of Owosso. Because of the fact that he
has always been genial fellow and has
made acquaintance readily and because
he had proven his ability in minor Of
fees in the lpast, Mr.. Curtis will be a
strong candidate. He has the advant-
age of all the other aspirants for the
nomination for the reason that he has
had three years experience as deputy
sheriff. fact that would enable him to
take up the reins quickly and put him
in position to conduct his Office ON an
economical basis. He is thoroughly
familiar with the duties of the Office Of
sheriff, and there is not corner in the
county where his face is not familiar
His duties brought him in touch with
many new friends who will reward him
for his touches of geniality when the
primaries and the county convention
are held. AS man, as an alderman, as
a supervisor and as deputy sheriff
John Curtis has always been courteous,
cordial and honest. All who know him
hold him in high regard.
Mr.. Curtis counts among his friends
in his home town the laboring men and
many of the strong fraternities of which
he is a member. In Corunna the same
class of men are his friends. He is in
the prime of life, well able to pursue
the vigorous duties of sheriff If nomi-
mated by the republicans, he will not
only get the full party vote, but will
find many democrats standing with him.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
itincurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. J. Cheney q Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
