600 Goal Of Sugar Makers.

The sugar beets are the sweetest
this year ever grown in Michigan.
Tests already made run up to 19 per
cent. saccharine, while last year the
percentage was under Is. and the aver
age for ten years has been below 10.
While the tonnage will be somewhat
lower per acre than last year the in
creased acreage will hold up the crop
and probably produce the biggest out
put of sugar ever made, aggregating
upwards of 200,000O00 pounds. The
goal of the sugar industry in Michigan
has been the $10000,000 mark. This
year, if the total tonnage holds up to
the average, with the excessive sugar
content, the product ought to break
records and pass the coveted mark.
Farmers this year are paid under ad-
vance contracts on the basis of $3.50
for beets testing IL per cent. sugar
and SO 13 cents for each additional
one per cent. The average price COM
monty stated is about $3.50. With the
high sugar percentage this year the
farmers will receive the highest price
per ton they have ever gotten. On the
10 per cent basis it would reach $3.50
a ton, and it is probable that the aver
age will be well over six dollars.

Michiqan May Pass Harvard.

If the U. of NJ. does not enroll an
other student this coming year the
total number of students to be listed
in the next catalogue would be $50,
the largest in the history of the insti-
tuition. But. while the general enroll
ment OF students was much heavier
this year on account of the fine regu-
lation. there will be quite a number
enroll later i'm the month and the sec
ond semester will bring large num-
Der. This makes 1t seem probable
that Michigan's enrolment will sur
pass that of Harvards. now the only
university having higher attendance
mark in the United States. While the
present enrolment shows an increase
of 2S2 over corresponding time last
year the decided increase in the 1908
summer school brings the figures well
beyond those of last year, SOLO.

Some reflections that were given
much publicity about the time the
congress of governors met last spring
now comes back to memory, bearing
twisted look. We were all very virtu-
Gus just then. We had learned to our
surprise and horror that our progeni-
tors had been unpardonably reckless
in their dealings with the property
they should have left intact to us. We
scoided them vigorously because they
had cleaned off our forests until we
were within a quarter Of century OF
national badness. The ghosts OF
those pioneers must be holding their
sides when they look down on their
successors in this supposedly mex
haustible region of natural affluence
and behold us figuring up our fire
losses for this summer The bureau
of forestry at Washington estimates
that the destruction in the forests so
far would equal the cost Of whole
feet of first-class battleships. That
would probably amount to more than
$100,000,000. Either our forefathers
were not as extravagant as We have
been calling them, or we ourselves
have not profited by their example.
The offence is the more grievous on
our part since we realize how easily
our forests may be exhausted. Our
predecessors thought they would las.

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring
Toris compound is product OF the
laboratories of the Globe Pharra-
ceutical CO., Chicago, but it as well rs
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.

Ine in the Omen

Mr.. and Mrs. J. o. Stoner and their
14-year-old son, OF Allegan county,
made a 420.mle trip In a small row,
boat from Wauson to Portage and
then down the Fox TO Berlin. They ran
the narrows and the rapids, besides
scooting over several large dams. Mrs.
Stoner is perhaps the first woman in
the state who ever accomplished this
hazardous feat, and the 14-year-old boy
showed remarkable endurance on the
trip. The party slept at night in their
boat. it beiIg supplied with a tent
cover. They did not eat or sleep in a
house for % days and nights.

Raises BeIIaire company's Taxes.

A meeting of the stsse tax commits
sion was held at Bellaire to review the
assessment on the Bellaire Electric
Light & Power Company's plant. The
commission increased tn assessment
from $4,000 To $4,000. Last year on
a general review at Bellaire the tax
commission fixed the assessed valua-
ton of the town at 1895 i35. The sh-
creased valuations were so satisfac-
tory that the supervisors this year
raised the valuations to 1901 800 and
thus placed them on a higher plane.

Business of Free Employment Bureau.

Business is steadily increasing in
the neo employment bureaus estab-
lished in connection with the state
labor, commission, according to re-
ports received recently at headquar-
ters here. In September, 1,072 appli-
cations for employment were made,
of which 1929 were filled at the De-
troit office. Men to the number OF
$40 received employment out of the
$50 who applied, while $50 women
out of the 1873 applicants were helped
to positions. There were 1882 appli-
cations for help, S9S for men, 2S4 for
women. Only AZ of these applications
for men were not supplied, and 104
of the applications for women. That
the free employment bureau has ac-
complished a large amount of good is
shown by the fact that 1892 out of
the total 29,571 applicants for posi-
tons, have obtained them through this
bureau since its establishment in
June, 1905. OF this number who have
obtained positions, 24,242 are men and
1850 are women.

Funds Tied Up; Must Borrow.


The state treasury is close-hauled
for funds and the indications are that
from 100000 to $1,00O,000 will have
TO be borrowed before the end of
the year, as the tax moneys will not
come in until January Is. The state
balance was $1,963, 190.46, but of this
amount 1894, 720.17 is trust funds,
$26S, 1894 belonging to the creditors
OF the City Savings bank of Detroit,
and 1925, 926.73 to the depositors of the
Chelsea Savings bank, OF which the
state is one of the big creditors. lr
addition, the primary school money
amounting to about s1,250000 will be
due November ! and under the law
will have TO be paid. This leaves but
$31S,470.29 10 run the state until Janu-
AIRY Is. Ii will not be sufficient to
cover expenditures for a month, though
there will be some receipts coming in
TO increase this amount. The ques-
tion has arisen as TO whether the state
can use the trust funds. and as il will
be necessary to scare up every cent
possible, the attorney general will be
asked TO give an opinion on this point.
In any event quite large sum Of
money will have to be borrowed.

GERMANY,s BUDGET.
Speculation as to How Money VIII be
 Raised.

Berlin Sept 1s.-For some time past there has been much speculation SIS to the manner in which the new Fiathciil Secretary will propose to raise the additional annual s100. 100000 or $125.- 900 900 which the German Empire re- quired to balance its budget.
 leading Centre paper now states definitely that the money will be ob- tained from the following sources: 1n- crease in the beer duty, introduction of a so-called bamerol duty on cigars. fundamental organization on the duty on spirits. a duty on gas and electric lights, extension of the death Guties to children and spouses. and a wine duty.
 If any of the flowers in this gorge ous bouquet should be refused by the Reichstag, the Government has in re- serve proposals to tax newspaper ad- vertisements and dividends.
 This or any other scheme to raise an equal amount of revenue means lively times in the forthcoming Par- liamentary session.
