Value of beet Sugar Products.

Some idea Of the magnitude of the
beet sugar industry In the United
States can be given by estimating the
value of the beets sold by the growers
to the factories and of the refined
sugar placed on the market by the fac
tories last year.
II we asSum that the average price
paid for beets in 1906 was 50 per ton,
the total value Of the 4,23G,112 tons Of
beets harvested is $21, 10000. If we
estimate the value Of the sugar ut A.
cents per pound, the 9G7,224,00O pounds
Of sugar manufactured were worth
S43,5 25, $50. Probably the assumed
prices both for beets and for sugar may
be a trlhe below those actually rereiv-
ed, but these figures ere sufficiently
accurate to indicate the magnitude of
'be industry.

Sting Behind Him.

Rev. John r. Clemens, for about 30
years following the close of the civil

the north middle states preaching the
gospel wherever he could find a crowd
Of listeners. His doctrine was indie
pendent, his manner supercilious and
his discourses both sarcastic and
witty. The different sects after en-
during his extremely radical and
fanatical sermons for long time. at
last closed the doors of their churches
against him and thereafter he was
forced to preach wherever he could.
Once he turned up at q basket meet
ing in northern Ohio just as the ser.
vices were closed for the MONDAY
feast. When the people. seated around
on the grass. were busily engaged with
the contents of their baskets, he
mounted the improvised pulpit and be-
gan to speak to the hungry members
His announcement, on" this occasion.
Of all churches and their creeds was
unusually severe and the committee
at once ordered him from the grounds.
This order the Rev. Clemens utterly
ignored. whereupon four stalwart
members gathered him up and made a
bee line for the gates.
He continued his discourse un-
checked until at the outskirts of the
crowd when. he shouted Justify back:

upon an ass, but I'm riding toward
