SUGAR MEN SEE GREAT ACTIVITY
IN THE COMING
SEASON.
PRICES RAISED BY THE WAR
Agents of Companies Are Now Getting
Contracts From Owners of Land
Who Will Devote 1t to
Beet Raising.

Madison-Six thousand Wisconsin
farmers will plant sugar beets this
season as a result of the increase in
the price of sugar brought about by
the war Officials interested in the
Menomonee Falls, Chippewa Falls and
Madison sugar plants have announced
that these factories will run. Whether
the factory at GAINESVILLE, the fourth
Wisconsin plant, will be started, has
not been announced.
The planting of sugar beets begins
about May /. Agents of the com
panies are now getting contracts from
the owners of land who will devote 1t
to beet raising. The average W1scon-
sin farmer plants about three acres OF
beets, and each factory can handle the
crop from about 5000 acres. That
means that 1000 farmers must be
signed in territory tributary to each
factory. The average yield is eleven
tons per acre and the average price is
$3.50 a ton, delivered at the shipping
point
The sugar factories will open about
Oct. / and will remain in operation
for ninety days. Each Wisconsin plant
represents in outlay about $76O,OOO
for building and equipment.

NEGRO ARRESTED AS AMMAN
Police of Monmouth, H., Believe Score
of Crimes Will Be Solved With
Arrest of Black.

Monmouth, ILL.,, March 23-The po-
lice of this city hope that the mys-
terry surrounding more than score of
'axman" murders, in which entire
families have been slain in the last
four years, will be solved by the arrest
OF negro giving his name as Loving
Mitchell, who was captured on Sunday
in squalid shanty at 1925 Chestnut
street, ST. Louis, Mo. The negro, a
giant in size, was arrested on the spe-
cif1c charge of having slain William E.
Dawson, his wife and three-year-old
daughter, Georgia, as they slept in
their home in Monmouth, September
80, 1911. The similarity of the other
crimes has led authorities to believe
all were committed by the same man.
The long list of victims of the FAX
mans" mania include 20 persons, and
his slayings cover Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas. Iowa and Colorado.

London, March 22-The greatest
blow suffered by the allies on the seas
since the war began was administered

PARIS IS SHELLED.
TWO GERMAN AIRSHiPS DROP
SEVENTEEN BOMBS ON THE
CAPITAL.
EIGHT HURT BY EXPLOSIVES
Compeigne, Bibecourt and Dreslin-
court ShelIed; AeropIanes Drive Off
craft-6erIin Says Raid Was Re-
venqe for Attack on Town.

Paris, March 23.-The first Zeppe-
lin raid on Paris was carried out early
Sunday. Four bombs were dropped in
the city and 1S in the suburbs. Seven
or eight persons were injured, one Sc
riously, but none fatally. The mate
rial damage was slight.
The raiders were driven off by
French aeroplane patrols and the fire
of antiairship guns. One of the raid
ers appeared to have been hit.
In their retreat the raiders dropped
bombs on Compeigne, Bibecourt and
Dreslincourt. Some were explosive
and some of incendiary character. NO
damage was suffered at these places
Probably the most remarkable feature
of the raid was the department of the
population.
Warned of the coming of the Yep
pelins, men and women clad in night
attire f1ocked in gay and jocular pro-
cessions from their sleeping apart
ments to the streets, or in the case
of the more discreet, to the cellars OF
their homes. The discipline of the
city's residents was marvellous. There
was a complete absence of panic
When the Zeppelins approached
whistles were blown and the sleeping
residents aroused, all lights were ex-
tinguished and when the raiders ar
rived over the city the capital was
completely obscured.
1t was a beautiful starlit night.
There was a light westerly breeze
blowing. The approach of the raiders
was signaled from at least twenty
places.
Half a dozen aeroplanes were wheel
ing upward to beat them off and high
angle guns were blazing from several
different points.
1t was the rapid appearance OF an
aeroplane squadron, each machine
flashing small, but powerful,
searchlight-that prevented the raid
ers from attacking the center of the
city, with it's historic monuments.
Everywhere the department OF the
people was remarkable. The "qu1
vive" listed for three hours, the bu-
giles rallying the people to bed again
shortly after four o'clock. The dan
ger was over
Berlin, March 23.-The war office
gave out on Sunday the following OIL
cial statement on the bombardment OF
Paris by Zeppelins:
ITO render more impressive our re-
ply to the misdeeds of two French avi-
ators in attacking the open Alsatian
town of Schlettstadt, German airships
dropped several heavy bombs on the
fortress of Paris and on the railroad
junction at Ccmpeigne."

Disapproval Of sending tobacco to

expressed its regret that many whose

a habit which otherwise might have
been avoided"

time doing nothing, and see how
they like that" said Col. Duncan Don

They are q lot of blankety-blank i'd
lots, old fossils who don't know what
they are talking about. Il doesn't mat
ter what you send these men, SO long
as it doesn't interfere with their eff
cheney. It is far better for them to
smoke than for half of them to come

HEROINE HoNoRED BY FRANCE
Sister Of Charity Universally AeknowI-
edged Worthy Of the Decoration
Bestowed Upon Her.

Sister Julia (Soeur Julie) has been
decorated with the insignia of the le-
gion of honor by President Poincare.
While the German forces bombarded
GerbeviIler she, with four other sis
tiers, remained in one OF the very few
houses left standing amid shell fire
and conhagration, nursing the wound
ed French and German soldiers.
A correspondent found Sister Julia
in the midst Of caring for the ills of
some returning refugees. Her usual
simplicity was quite unchanged by the
fame that has come to her. When he
observed that she was not wearing her
decoration, she replied, NO; this is
my working dress. I have too much
work TO do to put on any uniform, and
so 1 keep my decoration In a box in
my bureau When Monsieur Poincare
brought it to me, 1 could not believe
that such a little man was president
of France until they told me he really
was"
She laughed cheerily at her mistake,
for Sister Julia, who has won the
heart of France, is not solemn per
son. Through all her ordeals she has
kept cheerful.
If anyone suggests that they viii
make a great ado about her when she
goes to Paris, she shakes her head.
Her place, she says, is not to make
tours in uniform, but there, in her
working dress, in her beloved GeTbe-
viller,-which has to be all rebuilt
looking after the women and children
as they return.
ExtoI her conduct, and she says to
you, Il only did the Lords work when
it came to me to do. Why should the
president make an ado over that?"-

FUTURE OF MIGHTY RUSSIA
Wonderful Possibilities for Develop
ment Under Government That
Would Encourage Progress.

Probably that part of the earth's
surface which offers greatest oppor-
tunities for industrial development
lies within the boundaries Of Russia
The cars country, it may be recalled,
is over two and half times as extern
sive as continental United States and
contains so per cent more people; but
its exports are only a third of ours,
and they consist almost wholly of raw
materials or of goods, such as butter
and boards, that require very little
manufacturing skill. The exports Of
iron ore much exceed those of manu-
featured steel. Our railroad system
is about ten times as extensive as Rus
sia's relatively to population and about
sixteen times as extensive relatively
to area. Our commercial banks have
about ten times the deposits Of Rus
engaged in business are higher there
than here.
Instead Of looking to China or Bra
I'll, capital and ambition might well
look to Russia's vast and comparative
" untouched natural resources. But
the Russian government is both bad
and powerful The bureaucracy will
not maintain tolerable conditions, but
is strong enough to prevent anybody
else from doing it. Barely a week
before the beginning of this war Cos
sacks were shooting riotous strikers
in Petrograd. Social disorder was so
extensive and severe that neutral OBJ
servers on the spot believed an at
tempt at revolution more serious than
that which followed the war with ia
pan to be imminent. AS to Russia, in
fact, a successful revolution is the
best thing a rational person can hope
for, and that is not particularly in
viting prospect for capital There
are cheerful souls who take at par
various liberal hints and promises that
have emanated from the cars gov
eminent since the war began. They
argue that il the Petrograd leopard is
victorious its spots will turn milk
white.-Saturday Evening Post.

game; he prides himself On the excel

players lit their pipes and paid no at
tention to him They were not good
players, but the game was an even
and exciting one
The general looked on in silence,
mindful of the conventions of the
game, which denies the right of COIL
ment to any spectator. But he had
not played for months, and finally
could contain himself no longer.
Move that pawn" he ordered, "and
then push up that one" The startled
player looked up What could he do
but obey the order OF his commander
in chief? Of course he won the
game.

Brain Amputation.

One Of the wonders of surgical sci
ence has been performed in a
French military hospital where a
wounded soldier has had q sixth Of
his brain amPutated without miss
ing it The patient was carried in
with penetrating wound in the occi-
pital region OF the Uranium Spin
tiers of bone had caused an alb
scess to form in the left cerebral
hemisphere. These were removed
by Dr.. A Guepin. surgeon in CHIEF
to the hospital, but a fresh abscess
formed, and Doctor Guepin was
obliged on two occasions to amputate
portions OF the brain which protrud-
ed from the wound. The patient
thus lost at least q third Of the left
hemisphere, but shows no special
signs OF trouble, either Of motiTity
sensfbility or ideation.
