Stray Bits Of News From
Little Old New York

II is rather odd coincidence that
two days before the disastrous fire in
the State Capitol at Albany the State
Architect submitted his annual report
to the legislature, calling attention to
the fact that nearly all the state build
ings are inadequately protected
against fire and advocating sufficient
appropriations TO remedy the danger
Gus conditions existing in these build
ings. The fact that the criticism by
the State Architect was aimed princi-
pally at the charitable. reformatory
and penal institutions Of the state and
only incidentally to the condition of
the state capitol. does not diminish the
significance of the report The fire at
the state Capitol demonstrated the
danger from fire in a building fairly
well protected against such an emerg-
ency and pointed a lesson which the
legislators of the state of New York
should heed.

BEET SUGAR FACTORY.
m.rominee Plant Will Pay $500 900 to
Farmers of u. r.. s.-.-


II IL announced.sthat, the Menominee
River sugar factory at Menominee
will have double the run this year that
II did last season. This means a
campaign of one hundred days and
that the factory will pay out 100000
TO the farmers of the upper peninsula.
The manager of the sugar factory re-
ports that contraets for beet acreage
continue TO come i'm in a most satisfac-
tory manner and that the possibilities
for this branch of agriculture are al
most boundless.
Farmers are taking to the culture
of sugar beets as never before. the in
crease in price and the splendid show
ing made by the crop last year being
large factors in extending the acreage
in the upper peninsula.
II is interesting to note that as
years go by and the farmers become
more familiar with the cultivation of
sugar beets that they are rewarded by
better returns, both in the quantity and
quality of their beets. Eight years
ago the average yield of sugar beets

nine months more than forty safes IN
New York and Brooklyn were ripped
by yeggmen and robbed of their con-
tents, amounting TO many thousand
dollars. The holiness of the cracks
men i'm some of the cases was almost
increditable. yet not a single arrest
was made and not trace of the plum

evidence that all these robberies were

open the safe attacked. That was when

FACTION.

A wholesaler, well known I'm the up
per peninsula. desired to see what he
could do with potatoes, grown in this
district. in an eastern market, so he
went through the territory on a buy
ing expedition and secured several
carloads which he took to Cincinnati
and sold at a fair price.
lie considered this an experience
trip, and bent on seeing how upper
peninsula potatoes sold on the eastern
market rather than on a purely mon
ey-making expedition, and he took
some pains to see what became of the
potatoes after he sold them.
one large buyer of the upper pen
insult potatoes was a city vendor who
sold TO merchants from wagons and
the wholesaler concluded that 1t would
be interesting to watch his operations.
II CHANGED that i'm the lot sold TO
this man there were some potatoes
smaller than the rest, but exceedingly
firm and fresh looking. The huckster
looked these over with critical eye
and the upper peninsula man expected
kick over the price paid as they
were smaller than the rest, but the
buyer passed them over without COM
ment.' aa-s-.
The next morning the Michigan man
went early to the cars to see the po-
tatoes unloaded. He was surprised to
see the wagons stop first before the
car containing the small potatoes. He
noticed The carts all contained empty
lBarrels Son the bead of which was
stamp eGE t:Befm uda." "a -fia -,
AS the first cart was loaded and
moved off, the Wholesaler climbed up
on the seat with the irivcr and sail
that he wouid go up the street with
b'm. The nan looked far from pleas
ed but made no objection, and IL Was
not long before the puzzled driver was
enlightened as to the meaning of the
word Bermuda" on the head of the
barrel of upper peninsula potatoes.
The driver went from store to store
selling the upper peninsula potatoes
as new Bermuda potatoes" for S3..5
per bushel and it amused the Michigan
man to see the experienced Cincinnati
Grocers fall over themselves buyinS
ihem at that price.
Before leaving for home the whole
sabre looked up the dealer 20 whom
| M made the sale and said. "See here,
don't you think it is a shame to sell
ordinary upper peninsula of Michigan
potatoes as new Bermuda potatoes at
1915 per bushel?"
The old man went to the barrel OF
Bermuda potatoes from the UPPER
fpeninsula, picked out a half dozen and
handed them to the man, from, Michi-
'san.
Take these to your hotel, tell the
fcoolS' they are, new Bermuda potatoes
and ask him to fix you up a dish of
them. and then see what you think"
II did So" the wholesaler sail to a
/ friend, to whom he related this story
and hang me, if they were not the
finest new potatoes i ever tasted in
my life"
The secret of this is i'm the sol' of the
upper peninsula of Michigan which
has magic all of its own, impartinc
the finest qualities of flavor, producing
the sweetest sugar beets the most lus-
tcious Strawberries, the finest toma =

The Sugar Trust surely has its trou-

tablished the fact that the Trust, with
the help of certain INSCRIPTIONS Off
Gals and employees had for years been
defrauding the government in the pay
ment of sugar taxes. That trouble
had hardly blown over, after a settle
ment with the federal government,
when the municipal authorities of
New York. put in a claim of more
than 100000 against the American
Sugar Refining Company, for back
water rents. Upon investigation it was
found that for many years the Trust
had been appropriating city water
without paying for it, The Trust re-
fused to,pas and when the GUY threat
ened to shut off the water supply of
the. trust ,refiperies, the Trust asked
the courts for an injunction against
the city. Now. however, the Trust
has been denied the right to ask for
an injunction, upon the ground that
under equity rules clean hands are
necessary to procure the Interference
of a court of equity between contesting
