Who Will be President.

The man, who receives a ma
Jority of all the electoral votes,
will be President. Should neith-
er candidate receive a majority
OF all the electoral college, then
the election of President will go
to the House of Representatives
and that Of Vice President of the
Senate.
In the House, the members do
not vote as individual members,
but each state has one vote. that
one vote to be controlled by a
majority of the members from
that state. Now it so happens
just at this time that the House
is evenly divided. The Demo-
Gratis control % states and the
Republican % states. Four
states are tied; Main being re-
presented by two Democrats and
two Republican. Nebraska by
three democrats and three re-
publicans. New Mexico and
Rhode Island each by one demo-
crat and one republican. In the
election of President, the House
is restricted to the three candi-
dates receiving the highest num-
Der of electoral votes.
In the election of the Vice
President, the Senate is restrict
ed to the two candidates re ceiv-
ing the highest number of cleo
toral votes.
| Should the House fail to elect
a President, then the Vice Presi-
dent elected by the Senate be-
comes the President, automatic
ally.
| If, however, for any reason
the House failed to elect Presi-
dent and the Senate fail to elect
a Vice President then Secretary
of State, P. C.. Knox, would be-
come President, whether or not
his term would continue four
years, or end at the next election
would depend upon the action of

Here and There.

A kitchen bouquet for flavoring
soups can easily be made. Take few
sprigs of parsley and wrap them
around peppercorns, whole cloves,
bay leaf and other herbs that are at
hand. Tie up tightly. This can be
removed from the soup without trou-
BILE.
Some cooks always add little po-
tato to the mashed turnips, while 9th
ers dredge in little flour before sea-
soning. When the turnips are large
they will have more delicate favor
if the water is changed at least once
during the boiling.
Do not throw away vinegar in which
homemade cucumber pickles have
been preserved. Keep it and use it
in salad dressing instead Of the ordi-
nary vinegar. The odor is delicious.

Sugar Beets Bring Big Profits.

Sugar Beets Bring Big Profits.
What the beet sugar industry means
to Wisconsin may partly be under
mately 10000 acres are devoted to the
culture of sugar beets and that the
records of those engaged in the manu-
facture of sugar Indicate that Wiscon-
sin farmers in 1911 received total
of $2,000,000 for their crop and the
acreage is continually increasing. Beet
sugar was discovered in 1874 by Mar
graft, German chemist, and partially
developed by Achard, another OF his
kindred, who erected the first factory
in 1901 However, it took war to
bring out the possibilities of this In
dustry, and the commercial manufac-
ture of beet sugar received it's first
impulse by the English blockade OF
French ports during the war with Ma
poleon when Shut off from the source
of cane sugar. Napoleon offered sub

traction of sugar from beets, and SO

mined no longer to depend upon
tropical countries for sugar. Indeed,
the industry in both countries there
after was mothered by the payment OF
bounties on every pound produced.
So much for history.
With an average of rs pounds per
capita, this country consumes double
the amount used in France and Ger
many, and we are exceeded only by
Great Britain, and that because of the
extensive manufacture and eXporta-
ton of jelly and similar products.
The area most desirable for the
profitable production of sugar beets in
this country is somewhat limited, but
Wisconsin's climate and soil places
her in the midst of the most profitable
producing districts. 1t is claimed that
sixty years ago less than five per cent.
of the worlds sugar was produced
from beets, but today this is our
greatest source of supply, and several
hundred million pounds are annually
produced in this country.
