How People Lose Their Money

BY concealing it about their person.
BY hiding it in mugs, jugs and rugs.
BY sewing it up in stockings and ticks.
BY burying it in cans and putting it any old place
These are some of the ways in which people
sometimes lose their money-and often their lives.
Having money boarded up in the house encour-
ages robbery, and this often results in murder.

Census Bureau DetaiIs-The Beet
SUGAR Industry.

The manufacture of beet sugar was
carried on in 10 states at the time of the
census of 1905. The leading states were
Colorado, Michigan and California. The
value of products was 81, 1893, 9S2 for Col
orado, S. ,37S, 0O4 for Michigan, and "a,
states produced 697 per cent. of the
total product reported for the United
States.
At the census of 1905 Idaho, Ohio and
Wisconsin appeared for the first time
among the states engaged in this in
dustry, while Illinois and New Mexico,
were not shown in the list, although in
1900 factories were in operation in those
states.
The state which had the greatest num-
Der of factories in 1905 was Michigan;
and of the 10 factories in that state 10
had been established since 1900. Colo
RADIO ranked second with nine active
factories, of which only one was in ex-
istence in 1900.
The greatest actual increase in value
of products in 1905, as compared with
1900, occurred in Colorado, and the next
greatest in Michigan.
The largest sugar factory in this
country and one of the largest in the
world is located in California, which
state possesses a larger acreage that is
well adapted to the growing of sugar
beets than is found in any other state
in the Union. In California and in Col
orado irrigation is used in the growing
of beets. In the latter state extensi v e
experiments in feeding cattle and sheep
on beet pulp are being carried on, and
the beet pulp branch of the industry is
further advanced here than in any other
state. In Michigan also the utilization
of the by-products has received consider
able attention.
In Utah the problem of the delivery
of beets to the factories has been solved
by establishing slicing stations a points
from 10 to % miles distant, and connect
ing them with thel central factories by
pipe lines. The beets from the neigh
boring country are received at these
slicing stations, where the juice is ex-
tracted and treated with composition
of lime, after which it is forced through
the pipes to the factories.
The beet sugar industry seems to be
thoroughly established, and the in
creased production is steadily reducing
the amount of sugar imported from other
countries.

Work of a Sharper.

Forty people in Burlington have been
duped by a clever real estate scheme,
concocted, it is alleged. by the Metropoli-
tan and Suburban Real Estate company
of New York, which, it is claimed, used
as bait certain certificates awarded by
Maud Hillman repertoire company for
door prizes to holders of lucky tickets.
These certificates called for 100 foot
building lots at New Riverhead, l.. l.
When returned to Manager Charles Nc
Carly of New York, the holder was
urged to purchase an adjoining lot at
$40, discount of 80 per cent. The
property in question has been found to
be 70 miles from New, York and worth
about $40 an acre.

tai 500, l4i,7i9, the cost of materials

In that year there were 1910 wage
earners employed in the sugar factories
receiving 81 ,O92;2O7 in wages. Thus in
the five years between 1900 and 1905
the total amount paid out for the
materials used in the beet sugar indus
try increased threefold and the total
value of the products more than three
fold, while the average number of wage
earners doubled and the total amount
paid in wages more than doubled.
The 2,175, All tons of beets used in the
manufacture of beet sugar were grown
on 240,757 acres and cost S1l ,345, 1856.
More than four fifths of these beets were
grown by contract by independent farm
ers, for there is tendency among the
factories to contract for as much of the
crop as possible rather than to have a
large acreage of beeis grown directly by
the factory.
