ouAINT SWISS FEsTIvAL.
How the End OF Winter and Advent
Of Spring Are Celebrated.

Switzerland has long been known as
the land of festivals rich in local color,
such as the Feast of the Vines, in Can
ton Vaud, and the Feast Of the Cows,
In Canton Valais. One Of the quaintest
Of the old Helvetian popular feasts is
the Zurich annual celebration, known
as the Sechselauten. This curious fete
has as its raison d'etre the burning OF
a toy snow man in commemoration Of
the death of Winter and the birth Of
Spring.
The festival begins at o'clock on
the morning Of Sechselauten, when a
procession Of gayly attired boys and
girls is formed to escort the snow man
20 the great public square, called Stad-
thausplatz. Boys dressed as plerrots
drag the car on which the portIy snow
man stands along the narrow streets Of
old Zurich. These pierrots are followed
by companies of knights in arm0r;
members Of the various guilds IN their
respective picturesque costumes, COW
herders, fishermen and clowns, with q
car bearing the emblematic figure OF
Spring in the rear.
This figure of Spring is greeted with
the cheers of the crowd Of onlookers,

Facts and Figures Showing Great
PTOduGtiYsnsSS Of West
Florida Soil.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Your Westvile correspondent gave
a very fattering report Of his visit
to our little town. and the sugar cane
felds, and factory.
There always has been and may
sin be, some "0oubting" Thomases,
who believe that sugar cane cannot
be cultivated probably. in large tracts
on our common pine uplands. have
this day secure 4 facts from the fore
man of the 9Ohassetts Plantation,
which ] VII subau
Cane Is the cash crop of this plan
iation. Corn and hay is grown only
for home consumption; and water
melons on some new lands not quite
cleaned satisfactorily for sugar cane
cultivation.
Sugar cane for stin larger planting
has now been banked. the corn and
hay IS housed and eighty-hve acres
of cane is now in process of manutac-
ture The total amount of cost Tor

duct $500 for melons sold and 5000

Twenty Tons per Acre.
They are not Weighing the cane as
taken 20 the factory, but I find that
un TO yesterday. they had ground
fourteen I14) acres of cane; eight Of
which was stubble cane (last years

that was cultivated before the war
and ever since until a few year past.
From these fourteen acres they have
six thousand nine hundred and thirty

allowing - gallons of syrup per ton of
cane-which Is about minimum yield
would show a tonnage Of 20 OF p
tons per acre.

company or their profits, as that is
ID cir private affair. Your cOrrespoI-
ont is not a champion Of the syrup
industry. bat rather desires TO show
from actual facts the superior value
of our cane for sugar making.
SO here we have eighty-fve acres

Best Sugar Country.

ar Editor tbs is the first time we
have had actual figures to support our
claim that this Is the best sugar cOun-
try of the United States. Here is a
large field of eighty-fve acres grown
al a cost of less than one dollar and
a quarter per ton when the uniform
cost of Louisiana cane IS S1.75 to $500
per ton.
So much for the cane grower. Now
what for the manufacturer.
A centrifugal sugar factory can be
built of four hundred tons daily capa-
Ciiy-that IS 20 grind four hundred
tons OF sugar cane in a day and night

onds" and thiros" at 2 - cents.
$3.50 or a total of S5.yS for each ton
OF cane (Which is the lowest price
made) or a total of S2.392.OO for
tho output of each day. From this
deduct the cost OF 400 tons at S3.20

Then il a sugar factory company
grew but one hundred acres of cane
which they consumed, and this cane
cost but S125 per acre 10 grind. and
vas credited at $500 it would De a
further net profit of nearly four
thousand dollars. And Mr.. Editor no
better industry can be found for West
Florida than pro1ucer or manufac-
turer and we challenge contradictions.

The Seed Question.

"Poor wheat will terminate
and grow under favorable cir
cumstances., but will not stand
adversely. The, man who sows
it is gambling with nature. -
Experiment Station.
The question of good seed,
should be the vital question of
the year. There is difference
of about 80 cents an acre be-
tween / hard and 4 wheat. Can
you afford to risk your crop for
that? My seed wheat is choice /
hard. My seed fax was thresh-
ed without drop of rain on it
and is superfine. When it comes
to millets and feed corn, I can
beat any mail order house or
travelling agent, quality consider
ed, for the reason that I buy
and ship by the carload. It
costs you nothing to examine
my stock.
Yours for good crops

The. matter of an electric light
plant for Cooperstown has now
reached that acute stage where
the people of the town are not
sure just what is needed and the
village board is proceeding along
careful lines, which, consider.
ing that the town is in the hole
about 81, 500, is the proper thing
to do. We are informed by a
member of the board that &C
cording to the rates charged by
persons seeking a franchise
from the town that it would cost
the town over $1,000 per year
for sixteen arc lights. which is
none to many for the proper
lighting of the streets. The
question now arises, does the
town feel like paying so much
to others for lighting the streets
or are the tax payers in favor of
the town owning it's own electric
light plant. To put in a plant
that would be in every way ade-
quate for the needs of a growing
place like Cocperstown it would
cost from &lO. 600 to $15,OOO and
in order to get this amount bonds
would have to be issued. Other
towns have put in plants and
they are paying propositions,
while other places have put them
in where they are a loss to the
town. The question is a vital
one TO every tax payer of the
town and it seems to the COURIER
that it ought 10 receive more at
tention from the business men.
We invite q discussion of the
question in this paper and would
like to have the question
thoroughly aired. Personally the
editor of this paper believes in
progress and would like to see q
plant installed here, but we want
to see it done the, best and cas-
lest way for the taxpayers.
Which is the better way? Own.
ership by private parties or own
ership by the municipality.

The Hannaford Enterprise of
last week said it would have
been just as we'll to hold the re-
cent township election under
the old law as the new law does
not go into effect until July LIST.
The new law reads aas follows:
At the first annual township
meeting in each township after
the passage and approval of this
act there shall be elected at large
for such township, three super.
visors, one to serve until the first
annual township meeting, one to
serve until the second annual
Gov. Sarles was in the twin
cities last week taking in the
grsnd opera. He was inter-
viewed as all important person
ages are from North Dakota
when they go to st. Paul, and in
his interview he stated that he
thought all the people of the
state we're in favor of primary
election law. The governor is
right, the people are. but not
the kind of a law that the legis-
lature has handed out to us. The
governor also said: ITO my mind
the most important legislation
this session was our banking
law, giving the examiners more
power and creatinga state bank
ing board, consisting of the
governor, attorney general and
secretary of state. -

The Walsh County Record
very pertinently remarks: I'm
til within q very few years ago,
it was thought that it was i'm.
possible to raise corn to any adj
vantage in North Dakota, but re-
cent experiments go to prove
that this is an error. Corn can
be grown, for fodder, as far
north as Winnipeg, and in 1908
the state produced a little more
than 100000 bushels of corn.
The feeding. value of northern
corn is higher than of that grown
father south, as it contains more
of the expensive element of
protein found in stock foods.

nothing else and is the best adj

to lie like blazes about the candi-
dates. They have been COM
PEELED to say that they were
good fellows and all that when
they know very we'll it was not
