More Sugar Factories Needed.

In 1897 there were but six beet
sugar factories in the United States:
producing annually 1850 tons.
Now there are sixty-five factories
that produced last season 433. 900
tons. The value of the output at
present is S43 900. 900. OF this sum
about half is paid directly to the
farmer for his beets. If the l.70O.-
600 tons Of sugar imported from
Cuba. Java and Europe were pro-
duced at home. 80 more factories
would be needed.

In the Circus Realm.

The Carl Hagenbeck and Great
Wallace Shows have spread drag
net over the amusement and zoo
logical universe and hauled in the
ropes: have made scientific assort-
ment Of the great catch. retained
all that was wonderful striking or
sensational and cast the refuse to
other shows.
If there is anything really worth
while in the circus realm today which
has been overlooked, the newspapers
in the large cities have missed it,
for they have pronounced the Hag-
enbeck- k-Wallace Circus as the worlds 5
perfect show. Every field of pos
sible innovation has been invaded in
the consolidation of these greater
shows. Every feature which would
bring delight to young and old
Americans is seen with the United
Shows. The determined purpose
was to make the Hagenbeck- Wallace
Shows the largest and greatest of
travelling amusement institutions,
and at the same time make a radi-
cal departure from all set rules in
the organization of a circus.
The big feature with these shows
is the Hagenbeck trained wild
beasts-twentv animal acts which
have gained him fame the world
over. The English vocabulary does
not contain word which describes
the performances of these wild ami
mails.
The circus features are of the
very highest class. The horses are
the finest ever carrien with tented
enterprise. The clowns are the
funniest; elephants the largest; sea
lions the best trained; acrobats the
most supple; aerialists the most dar-
ing; riders the most wonderful; in
fact every feature stands out as the
best.
Superlatives are also necessary to
describe the beautiful street parade
which leaves the show grounds
daily at 10 a. M. in which 400 well
groomed and well matched dapple
grey horses are attached to the
band wagons. open carriages and
massive carved floats. The parade
alone is worth coming miles to see.
and will exhibit at La Junta, Satur.
