Marion HarIand ard Dame curtsey.

For more than half century Marion
Harland has been writing on house.
wifely themes and answering the ques.
tions Of women in clear and kindly
iway that has made her name beloved
from one end of the land to the other.
Many who read her CHEEKY and helpful
page every week in The Sunday Chi
cago Record Herald have no idea that
she is 70 years old, for she still writes
with all the vigor and discernment of a
woman of half her years. Huge as the
task may seem, she gives her personal
attention to the vast correspondence
that her position of expert adviser On
household topics involves, and every
question is answered directly by her.
No other department of The Sunday
Chicago Record Herald is more univer-
sally popular than this.
Another department that pushes it
closely, however, is Dame Curtseys
Novelties in Entertainment, which
has been hailed with joy by thousands
of hostesses who feel the need of new
ideas. Dame Curtsey, whose real name
is Ellye Howell Glover, seems to have
genius for inventing fresh schemes for
decorations, menus, games and all the
details that lend zest to dinners and en-
tertainments. She also answers ques-
lions pertaining to etiquette and good
taste, and otherwise furnishes just the
information so often sought vainly by
women.
When it is added that the Sunday
Magazine of The Record-Herald is full
of good stories and articles as interest
ing to women as to men, it is easy to see
why that paper is the favorite among
women.

BEET WAR Is ON.
Michigan Factories Engaged in q
Vigorous Fight

An agreement which has existed
for the past five years among the
sugar factories of the state in regard
to territory has been broken, and the
companies are now engaged in a Wig
orous, merciless fight for territory.
All the companies in this part of the
state, excepting Holland, which is so
| far away that it has a territory all
its own are engaged in the struggle,
and according to current reports, the
Owosso Sugar Company has been
victorious in the skirmishes of this
year, securing a greater acreage
than ever before.
The factories engaged in the
struggle are the Independents locat-
ed at Mt. Clemens, st. Louis, Owes
so, and Lansing, and the trust plants
at Saginaw and Bay City and Alma.
1t is not case of the independents
against the trust; it is every COM
pany for itself, though of course the
trust factories stand together.
1t is declared by the other parties
to the fight for territory that it was
the Owosso company which broke
the territorial agreement Owosso
and it's other factoryunder the same
management, Lansing, were award
ed all of Shiawassee county, parts of
Clinton and Ionia, strip through
Livingston along the Ann Arbor,
part of Washtenaw, Monroe, Wayne
and Genesee. Mt. Clemens was not
considered in the agreement and con-
tinued to get acreage wherever 1t
could. The trust controlled the rich
Saginaw valley exclusively, and AL
ma and st. Louis divided Gratiot
county equally.
During the five years that have
elapsed since the agreement Is al
legged to have gone into effect, all
factories have been experimenting
with a field force. They realized
that unless beet-growers had weed
ers and harvesters when they needed
them that there was no use of get
ting an extensive acreage, since the
acreage could not be properly cared
for. 1t is said that the Owosso fac
tory has been the most successful in
handling the field force, getting la
borers from Cleveland and other
cities, and welding them into a com.
pact and efficient force. This season
it is estimated, that the company
had 1900 skilled workers in the
field, well cared for and contented,
while the other concerns could
muster but few score.
When Owosso, say the other COM
panies, found its field force to be
both large and dependable, 1t DELHI
erately, broke the Territorial agree
ment and went after the rich trust
lands in Gratiot and Saginaw ltonn,c
ties. 1t also had few old scores to
settle with Mt. Clemens and grabbed
off large slices of rich territory in
st. Clair and adjoining counties, and
within sight of Mt. Clemens.
OF course the other companies
made forays into this county, and
estimate that they have coaxed
thousand acres away from Owosso
Dut tue iOCdi COMPANY, IL 10 ueCidTSu,
can afford to smile, as they secured
between 1000 and 5000 acres of
choice lands.
1t is said that the trust is heartily
sick of the warfare but that the in
especially Owosso, are
much pleased with the first seasons
battle, and are figuring on still
more active campaign this winter.
