From the National Farmer.
At the Elks temple, Friday night
November 21. $50 members of the Bay
City AID club listened to an instructive
and interesting address severely ar
raigning the tariff legislation of the
recent congress by Csrman N. Smith
of Bay City. general manager of the
Owosso Sugar Co., operating large
plant at Owosso and one at Lansing
also manager of the Michigan Chemical
Co., which manufactures high grade
alcohol from the refuse of molasses
from the beet sugar factories. Mr..
Smiths topic was 1.-THE Romance of the
Beet Sugar Industry.
He spoke as follows:
"The romance of the beet sugar in.
dustry in America Is, like so many mod.
ern romsnces, approaching tragic
elimination" said Mr.. Smith. per.
haps should best preface my talk with
the words of the old Roman gladiators
as they entered the arena, who, turning
to the emperor. would say. We. who
are about to die. salute you.
1.-The beet sugar industry was inaug.
urated under rather romantic circuh
stances, in France, by the great Napo-
leon, who realized that if France was
in danger of war with neighboring
powers, she must produce within her
own borders all the necessities of life,
and must not have to call upon hostile
nations for them. Therefore, through
his administration he encouraged the
beet sugar industry in France, a policy
which that nation has followed to the
present time, and which has been cop
led by Germany. At present Germany

sugar of the world"
Mr.. Smith initiated criticism of the

through by our accidental administra

ng it narrow policy that "hangs the
word of Damocles over the head of

Mr.. Smith said that surprisingly

he beet sugar industry meant to Bay

PAYS VAST AMOUNT TO FARMERS.
From Novemt or to January the
beet sugar manufacturers pay out in
eal money to the farmers of the county
rom one and onefourth to one and
,ne-half millions of dollars" declared
Mr.. Smith. This money, flowing back
nto the city through commercial chan
lels, helps Bay City merchants and
,ankers and business men of all varie.

been rotated in with the regular crops.
1t may be q sound policy to put
sugar on the free list; but / can't un-
derstand 1t that way" said Mr.. Smith.
I'VE shall be the only civilized nation
which has not by protective tariff en-
couraged domestic sugar industry"

the duty. on sugar, Mr.. Smith declared
1t the most consistent of any, and he
followed this statement with data sum.

United States by legislation proclaim

with the loss of that revenue, which,
he declared. would have to be made up
somehow. This actual saving amounted
according to the figures offered by Mr..
oAhAeaJ W AZ NOhto u y6dI.
1T seems foolish to ipjure the sugar
industry here in order that ID cents per
capita may be saved every year." said
Mr.. Smith. 1.-THE high cost of living
has no application to sugar; for sugar
is the only necessity that has not ad.
vanced in price in the last 20 years;
and 1t is one of three, the other two
being essential, which have de.
clined. The price of sugar is now lower
than 1t has been at any time for the
past 30 years"
FREE SUGAR WOULD WIPE OUT IN.

Mr.. Smith argued that if the tariff
act should evel materialize into actual
operation the sugar industry of Amer.

am absolutely surprised to hear so
many people who ought to know better
say that beet sugar manufacturers
could continue in business and make
with sugar duty Free" said Mr..
Smith
The average wage paid to warkers
in the sugar fields of Germany is 40
cents day." Mr.. Smith continued.
Here it is necessary to pay wage of
which the average approximates 50
daily. The price of raw beet sugar at
Germany, is 81 90 per hua.

City must pay farmers for the beets

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
What Is Beauty?
BIZ BLANCHE BEACON

We say that Helene is beautiful, yet if we should cover the upper part of her face with 8 cloth and look only at l her mouth, it would suddenly dawn | upon us that that feature is really too large and, in fact, rather ugly. Tn the same way, we speak of blond Alice having an insipid face. Yet. the most critical observer, if he stop ped to analyze her face, would be forced to admit that every detail was exquisitely formed and placed with relation to the other features.
 How can we then. erect any single standard of beauty. will admit that I have formed a standard, and 1t is this: that no girl is a true beauty un- less she can look we'll, even beautiful, at any hour of the day, or in any cos tune.
 Yet one of the men know, who is a dilettante and a well known art critic, claims that to him no girl is beautiful unless her beauty varies con stantly. Tn other words, he is pleas ant1y pfqued when Elise, who yester- day was triumphantly lovely, to-day looks somewhat faded and.e monde script.
 If you are the kind of woman who looks even moderately well all the time, play up to that point. Try to be seen all the time and in as varied aspects as possible. If you are like Elise who, chameleon-like, changes her coloring. play up to that When you are radiant, wear radiant rain bow-hued gowns When 1t is your 'grey day. wear subdued, pastel shades. You will be surprised to see how interesting it makes you People will continually argue the question of 'sIs she, or is she, ,not?" It's fun, after all.
 To think that all the people born into this world every year have faces totally different is astounding. There is something in every face that either is or can be made the beauty-nnotif.
 Old age can be made as beautiful as youth. for in old age comes that fa.s- cinating si1vering of the hair, the sof- tening touch that Time lays upon age.

official work, and who has a reputa-
ton OF being IAN inspector who in
spects, is being given considerable
prominence by some of the eastern
papers on account of the work accom-
plished by this department. The fol-
lowing extracts are taken from an ar
tlcle appearing in recent issue of the
New York Times
James H. Wallis, who is known in
the Tar west as 'Idaho's flyman,' ar
rived here yesterday with challenge
to all and sundry eastern states to
show as many flyless back alleys on
spreading acres as he can boast of in
his own buzzless town of Boise.
Mr.. Wallis has been trapping the
flies out there for years, and he SAYS
ne has got them about all trapped.
Now he is going down to Alabama to
better hunting grounds for flies, and
incidentally to tell the people of that
southern community how he has made
flyless state out of Idaho.
1t wasn't all done by swatting.'
said Mr.. Wallis when a Times report
er sought his views about the fly-
swatting industry that has replaced
the hunting of grizzlies and mountain
lions. There were several other
methods but the swatting gave us
good sport while it lasted.
TO show what the other methods
were Mr.. Wallis produced a book
which bore his own name on the title
page. 1t was book about fly swat
ting and fly hunting and fly exter-
mination in general.
Seventy-five thousand of the lit
tie books he said, were given away
to the children of Idaho. That's why
we can boast of our Buzzless Boise.
and all the other joys that come from
living away from the pests Of fly time.
The book taught the children how
to DO 1t, and they attended to the rest.

no owns 1t, and the state Is shipping
them free to Cuba, and to the Philip
pines and Alaska, and almost every
where else.

The statement seemed rather
sweeping. and on being asked to ex
plain It and tell what guarantee he
could give to 60 with 1t Mr.. Wallis adj
mitted that out in his country he was

tor. His card explained all. for It
