Will Pay for Key,
The New York board Of aldermen
has at last decided to pay the bill for
the key of the city to DR.. Cook. In
moving the resolution to pay the bill,
Alderman Douling placed on the rec
ords this classic: F'I want to say that
DR.. Cook didu Z do so much to us as
some people would like to have il ap-
pear. If he 'bunked' the king of Den
mark he hasn't done anything very
great in gold bricking' this board.

the ebony casket and gold key, but /
suppose it does: II he got a gold key
and ebony casket he is welcome to

them. I think we did our woTk-I
won't say nobly-but We did the best
We could. Why, the bill is very reason

Enthusiastic Over Sugar Beets.
Charles F. Saylor of Iowa, the gov
eminent expert in sugar beets, was in
the city the other day. He is enthu-
siastic about this industry. Speaking
of its growth he said: 1.-THE acreage
of sugar beet production in the United
States is increasing rapidly. While we
cannot hope, for many years, 10 pro-
duce enough sugar beets for tho man
ufacture of all the sugar we consume
in the United States. the increased
acreage and the growing manufacture
of sugar IN this country is encouragi ing,
We consume every year $500, 900 tons,
and about one fourth Of this amount is
produced here.
IF the growing Of sugar beets con
tinues to increase, and the building of
beet sugar manufactures also advances
as IL has in the last few wears, it will
not be great while until we shall
make at least half Of the sugar used
in this country. Colorado and Cali
fornia are the leading sugar beet
states, and Michigan follows. Nearly
every state in the beet sngar zone,
however, is taking up the culture Of
the beet, and in many states. new fac
tories are going up. Ohio is rapidly
increasing in her beet sugar output,
and only recently two new factories
were built in that state.
''Of course. sugar beets cannot he
grown everywhere, The zone OF sue
cessful production lies in territory north
of n line that would, if drawn, have
Chicago in its center. The south. of
course, raises Il vast quantity of sugar
cane. Farmers in the west are looking
forward In a great season. added Mr.
Saylor- cit has been particularly
early spring, and there arc prospects
for an early crop unless something un-
foreseen should occur. With the farm
err prosperous, there is no reason, il
seems to mo. that the rest of the coun.
try should not also prosper
Question Of Credit.
"One Of the greatest drawbacks to
the expansion of the American export
trade is the question Of credit" said

amount of assurance, and consequently
The American manufacturer prefers to
lose prospective business than run the
risk Of lncurring bad debts.

Apparently the main reason is re-
