THIS MEANS YOU.

Now what we want to know is, do
you really want to better the intoler-
able conditions under which you live?
Do you know why such vast majority
of people submit uncomplainingly to
conditions that savage would revolt
against? Well now, read this careful
ly. The worker Of today, like his an
cestor, the serf and chattle slave of
the past, has been hypnotized. He has
been told that he is free, that he is an
uncrowned king, a voting sovereign,
the silent partner of his big brother,
the capitalist, etc.
OF course you know better, but you
will have to submit to the same treat
ment that your hypnotized brother
does until the spell is broken. The
question is, how to break the spell.
That is easy. Give him a home
remedy. Get him to subscribe for the
Commonwealth. Well transform him
from humble slave into stand-up
straight revolutionist. Try it; get him
to subscribe at once.

Louisiana Cane Crop.

The sugar made in Louisiana
from The crop of cane harvested in
1913, according to an enumeration
just completed by the Bureau Of
Statistics Crop Estimates) =,
amounted to 292, 69S short tons of
1000 pounds each. The average
yield of sugar was 139 pounds per
ton of cane crushed, or about 3
pounds less than i'll 1912. The
total sugar made was somewhat
less than double the amount in
1912, but about 10000 tons less
than in 1911. The low production
in 1913 was due largely to shortage
i'll the yield of cane, which became
apparent towards the middle or
end of the harvest season. About
the middle of November, 1918, IN
dications pointed to total of over
100000 tons of cane being
ground for sugar. This amount
proved to be too high. the actual
amount crushed for sugar being
about 4,214,O00 tons. The average
yield of cane per acre i'll 1915 was
about II tons. The average in
1911 was 10 tons, and i'll 1912,
owing to floods, the average reach
ed the abnormally low figure of II
tons per acre.
The length of the 1913 campaign
was. on an average, rs working
days, or so per cent longer than i'll
1912. A few factories, however,
extended their operati ms consider
ably longer; nu1nber of them
worked for more than 90 DAYS each
The number of factories which
made sugar III 1913 was 153. AT
the beginning of the campaign 10
more were reported to be engaged
in sugar making, but of this
number several made strip only,
and others were not in operation.
