Why Sugar Advanced.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
American says, That at the request of
the Sugar Trust the Democrats made
large reductions of the tariff on sugar,
to take effect at once, with a provision
that after next March it should 90 on
the free list. knowing that this gave
the trust the power to crush them, the
sugar-beet planters and beet-sugar
manufacturers in the West became so
discouraged that they were willing to
go out of the business at any kind of
sacrifice, and large number Of them
sold out to the Sugar Trusts at any
thing they could get.
This gave the Sugar Trust an abso-
lutte monopoly of the sugar business,
and it Immediately proceeded to take ad-
vantage of the war scare and double the
price of sugar at once, Notwithstanding
the fact there was the largest sugar
crop IN Cuba that ever was known. No
body is prepared to refine this imported
cane sugar or raw sugar froms Louisana
but the trust, and having got the most
of the beet-sugar people out of the way,
the people are at their mercy. The
Sugar Trust people had this all in their
minds when they were before Congress
urging free sugar.
In communication in The American
at that time predicted this very thing,
and, sure enough, they have carried it
out much sooner than | expected they
could Beet. sugar factories make the
finest quality of granulated sugar, ready
for the table; hence every pound of
sugar they made competed with the
trust refineries In fact, for many
years it is the only competition the trust
has had.
AS long as free-sugar law stands the
trust can run the price of sugar up or
down at its will; so that it can keep in
dependent beet-sugar factories entirely
out Of the field. Nobody is going to in
vest any money in the beet sugar in
duStry as long as the trust mas Jhe
leverage that enables it to crush the
beet people any time it sees fit.
So long as there is no competition the
trust will keep up the price, just as il
used to before there was any beet sugar
made in this country. If. however,
beet sugar competition appears to any
extent, all it has to do is to put down
until it gets rid of this competition, and
then up goes the price again.
/ Unless there Is a speedy legislation
restoring beet-sugar competition again,
we will probably never get reasonable
prices for sugar except temporarily fol-
the purpose of killing off competitors.

GOOD HOME PROVIDED FOR
DESTITUTE CHILDREN
AmIsh Mennonite Brethren Eager to
ADOPT Orphan Waits or Children
of INDECENT Parents.

j. E. Hershberger, secretary, and
H. S. Yoder, treasurer of the Amish
Mennonite Orphans Home Association
went to Meyersdale Wednesday to take
charge of the seven minor children of
Mrs. Clara Embleton, who was deserted
by her husband some time ago and is
unable to provide for her numerous
brood. The Directors of the Poor were
assisting Mrs. Embleton until the good
Amish brethren kindly stepped in and
offered to provide good home for the
destitute little ones. They also took
the mother along to remain few days
at the home which is situated near
Bittinger, and is in charge of Noah
Brenneman and his good wife, who have
no children of their own but yearn to
have large family. They already had
three wards to look after before receiv-
iny the five Embleton tots. Mr.. and
Mrs. Brenneman are a worthy couple
to look after the bodily care of the little
ones. They live on a farm which pro-
duces the best and wholesomest OF food
and where the children will be kept
away from all evil influences.
Their education will also be carefully
looked after, as Miss Savilla Bender, a
very capable and popular scchool
teacher. who taught numbnr of terms
successfully in both Garrett and Somer-
set counties. has given up her public
school work to be the instructor of the
children in the Amish Mennonite

The managers of the home are
anxious to find more children without
good homes to care for. Anyone know
ing of such should address H. S, Yoder,
Grantsville, Md, or any other of the
known members or officers of the as

Sifted From EXCHANGES.

The number of beef cattle marketed
at Kansas City so far this year is $50, =
900 head less than for the corresponding
part of 1913. This indicates a seeming
ly permanent change in beef production
in this country. The great cattle ranges
of the West are fast vanishing, and our
accustomed source of supply is now
failing US. One of the leading officials
of big packing firm, after studying
the situation carefully, frankly says
that the needed increase in the supply
of cattle must come from New England
and the South, for the West can no
longer meet the demand.
A recent bulletin issued by the CEN
sus Department estimates the popula-
ton of continental United States on
July l at SO, 781, 324. This is an increase
since 1910 of about 100000 A little
more than one-third of the entire popu-
latlon is found in the five states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and
Texas. The five big cities of New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia. st. Louis
and Boston contain one-ninth of the
whole. These facts force one question
to the thoughtful American mind:
our country any the better for the kline
of increase in population that is rushing
in on US?

b. Q O. Disputes Claim.

Baltimore and Ohio officials dispute
of State Senator Harvey j.
SfMcher, of Garrett county, and Dr.
Robert A. Ravenscroft, surveyor OF
the port, that in the race with an ex-
press train between Oakland and Balti-
more the automobile won.
The railroad people explain that the
comparison made by Senator Speicher
and DR.. Ravenscroft was not fair to
the railroad in that the actual running
time of the automobile was computed,
allowing for the stop in Hagerstown,
while the schedule of the train was used
without taking into account the time
that the passenger train was stopped at
stations. A further argument advanc-
ed by the railroad officials is that the
distance by state roads is 1876 miles as
against 246 miles by rail.
The trip from Oakland to Baltimore
by state roads in seven hours averages
rs Al miles an hour. Figuring the
speed of the train, the schedule allow
ance, seven hours and 20 minutes, be-
tween Oakland and Baltimore, takes
into account stop of % minutes in
Washington, SIX minutes in Cumber-
land and II other station stops of five
minutes each, making a total of Sc
minutes during which the train was
standing still. This makes the actual
running time of the train five hours and
"a minutes, or an average OF more than
50 miles an hour.
