BEET SUGAR MAKERS
SEEK TEXAS INVESTMENTS
Plan to Locate Several Factories in
This State if Duty is Not
Abolished.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 11-Wis-
consin beet sugar capitalists are
planning the Immediate inves -ment
Of nearly $5,O00,0 600 in new beet
sugar factories in Texas, if the pres
emit congress does not abolish the
duty on sugar. The sugar trust is
fighting for the placing of sugar on
thsr!ee list, for that would wipe out
taeurdpidly growing beet sugar COM
petit ion. with the importation free
of duty of raw sugar from the West
Indies.
T4aree localities in Texas have
been selected for new factories by
the beet sugar men if the duty is not
remeVed, the locations being Austin,
Plainview and Amarillo. Each of
the three beet sugar factories would
cost from $4,000, 5000 to $1,50O.0OO
and the interests planning the de-
velopment of the Texas field are
those interested in the Wisconsin
Sugar company which has several
immense plants in various parts of
Wisconsin.

was in charge of parish on the Isle

McGill college in Montreal.

Rev. L. A. Edwards is more than ap-
plicable to the case:
In the passing away of Mrs. Nc
Cullough the home loses a mother,
whose great devotion and sterling
faith have laid a groundwork in the
characters of her children that in the
years to come must leave a rich har-
vest in lives of service to God and
man. How cheap and poor appear
those things that we are apt to attach
Importance to as compared with the
legacy that she leaves behind. AnC
the influence of that beautiful life,
though lived for such short time ir
our midst, left its impress upon the
church and entire community.
Her cheerfu]ness, her courage, he1
unwavering faith through the Ions
months Of suffering, not only en-
deared her to US all, but has enabled
some of US to take frmer hold upo1
the God in whom she trusted.
When the call came, she was ready
and the valley held no terrors for her
as her last words Come, Lord Jesus
SO clearly indicated.
She passed away as she had lived,
Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through life's stormy ways,
Trusting Him Whate'er befall;
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
