SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Wages and Prices of 5eets Much High
err In the United States.

Wages and Prices of Beets Much High
err In the United States.
The difference between the condi-
lions under which beet sugar is produc-
ed in the United States and Europe is
strikingly shown by report just pub
,lished as a United States senate doc
ument. Summarizing III reports from
various European countries, this docu-
ment shows that 65 cents a day was
the highest rate earned by men work
Ing in the European beet fields, while
46 cents was the average rate. In all
the European countries, however, the
greater part of the field labor is done
by women and children at wages rang
ing from 10 cents a day for children
In Russia to SO cents a day for women
In Denmark. To these poor labOrers
the $3.50 a day, which represents the
average earnings Of field workers in
the United States, must appear
princely income.
Among the factory workers engaged
in beet sugar production the difference
Is equally striking. The men working
in the factories of the great European
sugar making countries, France and
Germany receive an average daily
wage of 81 cents, according TO official
figures published by their own govern
ments The average American wage
for employees in the beet sugar factO
ries, 5000 a day, is more than three
times as great
Likewise the farmers who grow the
beets in Europe receive only 81 to
$3.50 ton for their crops, although
they pay four to five times as much
trent for their land as the American
farmer does.
While these figures serve to show
why it is that Europe can produce sug
ar cheaper than the United States, it
Is an interesting fact that the only
important country of Europe where
the people are able to buy sugar
cheaper than in the United States Is
England. Even in England the price
paid for the sugar most generally used
is as high as the prices paid here. On
the whole. the lot of an American sugar
beet grower or worker must be cOnsid-
cred preferable to that Of his Euro
pean competitor.

No man is so we'll qualified to write
an accurate and comprehensive his
tory of the Indiana Democracy as the
Hon. John B. Stoll, the eminent editor
and author, of South Bend. He has
always been one Of the chief counsel
ors of his party, has never held polit-
ical office or INDUCED in fractional
fight. Mr.. Stoll will trace the birth
and development of the party from
1916 to 1914, and give every man his
rightful place in history, condemning
the selfish and overambitious and the
chsrlatans, and praising those who
have battled during the dark days of
Republican supremacy for the rights
of the people and who are deserving
of space in the hall of fame.
The history will not be confined to
Indiana politics, but will cover the
party's achievements in national af-
fairs, particularly the assistance given

complete the effect.
If you are a girl with the warm

Dick says we are now in the "Old

to a bridge party.
Father is feeling pretty well, " said
Dick when told him Of the invita-
ton, Tets go. like to play bridge

Nonsense! You have card sense
and common sense and the only time
I played bridge with you, Margie, I
remember 1 thought you played an
uncOmmonIy good game"
But that was before we were mar
ried," I said sIyly.
Dick looked up quickly. Look
here, Margie, don't go getting it into
your head that have left of appre-
ciating your good points just because
I am so busy earning bread and but
ter since marriage that don't have
time to tell you Of it continuously"
~'YOU found time before marriage,
Dick" l foolishly affirmed.
"Of course I did, old girl, of course
l did. I have never been able to see
why a woman can't understand that
when a man wants to marry a certain
woman he makes it his business to
get her. For time he may neglect
every other thing in life but her. You
see, dear, for the moment she is the
business of his life. It's just like get
ting a big bill Of books through.

But after marriage the bill of
goods is sold-you'Ve won," Dick
continued, land a man naturally goes

demUrely.
Dick caught me to him. ''Why will
you be so fussy, Margie, and you're
so pretty while you say these things
that want to shake you and kiss
you at the same moment"
Suppose you try the last first"
said, putting up my face to him. He
gave me a regular bear hug and then
said: Shall we go to the party?"
''Yes," l answered, but you see it
is those aWfuIly Fich Andrews that

Wrinkles Out of This Rich and
Popular Material.

AS the winter advances quite %
number of women are looking over
their velveteen blouses and coats, and
wondering how to get the crumples
out of them.
A velvet or velveteen coat always
crushes very badly where you sit on
it. But never mind. you can get Il
right if you treat it in the following
way:
Hold the crushed bit out tight be
tween your hands, and pass it to and
fro over the steam Of boiling kettle
till it is thoroughly wet. Then, still
keeping 1t stretched. turn it upside
down, SO that the pile part Is to
wards the floor and give 1t a thor,

the damp as possible.
Now, turn it right side Up again. lay
it fat on the table. and peg it down
at the corners, leaving it there till it
is dry. Don't let anything touch It,,
for fear of leaving a mark,
When it is quite dry, you will find
that it has come up all soft and thick,

SHOWING OFF THE WRISTS
Idea of cIasping Them Closely With
Fur or Ribbon Is One Of the Pret-

MANY of the newest and prettiest
sleeves define the wrists by clasping
them closely with fur or ribbon, and
when the wrists are small and deli
cately formed there is no effect more
dainty.
1t is an effect that is particularly
heautifying to the hands, making them
look charmingly feminine.

STYLE NOT HARD TO COPY
Military Effect in OId-Fashioned Union
Blue Effective for the Youthful
Figure.

Any style feature that hints of the
military is bound to be approved. Ii
takes a slender figure to carry sucli
styles, and. needless to say, a youthful
one as well
A regular old-fashioned union blue
is the color used often and the mate
rial is duvetyn.
The coat is quite high wasted and
belted in with a 4-inch strap of sell
material, with two cloth covered
buckles in front. The opening is down
the left side, started directly from the
shoulder. The blouse portion has Ions
sleeves, trife full at the waist, with
cuffs of skunk, and are set smoothly
into extension armholes. 1t fastens
closely about the throat with an up
standing collar of skunk.
The fulness below the bust in front
Is drawn under little pointed bib Sc,
above the belt, In back there is
slight blousing above the belt
The skirt portion Of the coat is quite
long, reaching a point midway of the
hips and knees, and, like the blouse
opens down the left side. There are
few very scant gathers at the waist
just to give the necessary ease over
the hips. The corners of the coat at
the opening are rounded off, otherwise
/ the lower line is perfectly straight all
around. The large, fat buttons are
cloth covered.
The skirt is one of the simplifie6
"pegtop' variety, with some fuilness
on either hip and an even line of gath
ers across the back at raised waist

There are stunning roses scented

SMALL C0ATEE OF BR0CADE

Charming.

A remarkably pretty little coatee
was worn with skirt of purple char
meuse a short while ago. The skirt
showed the new Vatican plat that
was brought from a high waist line
and looped UP just below the level of
the knee. The skirt in front was left
very plain, with merely a slight effect
of drawback drapery at each side
and the inevitable cross-over fold
down the center of the front.
The back panel came from over
a high folded waist belt of the same

coatee of smoke gray brocade.
This little brocade coatee was very
