Can't Change Fordney's Popularity by
Such TOmmyrOt.
Sugar Beet Raisers Will Stand By
Their Best Friend Sugar Beet JOe."

lnelr BeSIf frlend sugar Deet JUG.
From The National Farmer
The opponents of Congressman J. W.
Fordney of the Eighth District. the
most active and capable representative
of the farming interest of that district
ever in congress, and who exposed the
Democratic attacks upon beet sugar, in
the free trade bill that passed the house
last summer, to have been instigated
by refiners in foreign raw sugar, who
expended thousands Of dollars to OBJ
tain the influence of Democratic men,
bers of congress, have been stumped
for some argument TO offset Fordney's
popularity among the farmers in his
d strict. At last one of their speakers
has hit upon what he believes sledge-
hammer "knock down hit" but In
reality it is the silliest kind of twaddle
that excites only ridicule and contempt.
The story told is that Fordney is re-
sponsible for reducing the tariff on
beets imported from Canada from %
to 10 per cent and that it has crippled
Michigan beet growers by encouraging
the importation of Canadian beets for
American factt ries.
The farmers in the Eighth District
who grow sugar beets should know that
Joe Fordney had nothing whatever to
do with that subject. Neither does it
cut any figure for the simple fact that
not single Michigan factory is bring
ing single beet from Canada to Mich
igan this year. They find that it isn't
necessary as they can get all the acre
age in Michigan and more than they
can handle.
Fordney's stand on the sugar ques-
ton in exposing the fallacy of free
trade contention is too we'll known the
country over to need explanation. He
has done moe To defeud beet sugar
from the ASSAULTS of Democrats than
any other neiuber of congress.
The duty on Canadian grown beets
was reduced by the United States en-
ate from 25 cents to 10 cents. in oader
to equalize beets with raw cane sugar.

ROMANCE IN INVENTION
OF POWERFUL RIFLE

Invention which was inspired by Miss
Pattie Ellison, of Kentucky, who lived
for long time in Paris with her sis
ter, Mrs. Adams, before she became
Lady Ross of Ross Castle, Rosshire,
Scotland. Is causing much discussion.
Lord Ross was engaged in work up
on the rife when he met the pretty
Kentucky girl in Paris and again on
board transatlantic steamer. He
wooed her, won her and married her,
and then completed the arm which
bears his name under her inspiration,
20 he says. Lady Ross Is an excellent
shot and uses her husbands rife for
hunting or target practice.
The discussion about the rife Is be-
ing carried on between the National
Rifle Association OF England and the
Royal Association OF Paris. Two men,
bers of the English association have
gone TO Canada to negotiate with the
and 1t Is believed that the
rife will be adopted. If England is
not given the choice, France also may
find interest in the powerful arm.

Paris were sent on TO Tours, where
they were ultimately served out to

troops were afflicted, In consequence,
with foot sores and Jagged when a
forced march was necessary.
Godillot was 80 much like Ma

would have been hard, were they
both together, TO have said which
