Couldn't Afford to Advertise

Jud Shaw sold shoes and sealing
wax, lamps, fishpoles and glue, tobac-
co, candies, gum and tacks, slickers
and sardines, too; dry goods and
names were in his line; he dealt in
peas and beans; he kept the general
store, in fine-sold overalls and jeans;
but Jud, somehow, he wasn't wise -
Couldn't afford to advertise"
Not that he harbored any grudge
against his home town sheet; he was,
as anyone might judge, kindly man
to meet; his customers he treated
fair, and yet he prospered not; his
goods were honest, one would swear
he simply was forgot; for Jud, some

couldn't afford, they were so wise,
couldn't afford NOT t'advertise.
Now Jud's stuff it was just as good,
his prices were the same; the loss

An 0ft-Told Tale

The Philadelphia Press probably
will be accused of waving the bloody
shirt because it calls attention to the
fact that the solid south rules the
democratic party and the democratic
party rules the nation. There are
thirteen states which can be counte d
on to give democratic majorities.
These are Alabama, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Texas, North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, FlCri-
da, Virginia, Tennessee, Oklahoma and
Kentucky.
These thirteen states sent to the
house of representatives 116 demo-
cratic members. A majority of the
house is 2lS, so these states have a
majority of that majority. These
states give twenty-six democratic sem
ators. A majority of the senate is 40.
The party caucus dictated the legisla-
ton and the twenty-six senator's from
the southern states were a majority
of the majority.
What does the south get in return
for these votes? These states fur
nish the chairmen of all of the i'm
portant committees of both branches
of congress. There is but one excep-
ton, that of the appropriations com
mittee of the house, which is headed
by New York democrat. All of the
measures dealing with tariff, bust
ness, banking, currency, judiciary, mil
itary and naval affairs, public build
ings, finance and harbors, and like i'm
portant subjects are in the hands OF
the south.
What proportion of the burdens laid
by congress on the country does the
south bear? These thirteen states
turned into the treasury considerably
less than 100000 of personal in

SUGAR BETS AND THEIR TOPS
Culture of Sugar Beets Will Revolu-
tiOnize Farming-Crop Rotation
Big Factor in Successful Till
age

The sugar beet leaves or tops stand
in the same relation TO the beet crop
that lungs and stomach are to our
bodies. In the leaves, the processes of
breathing air and digesting of food
takes place. The foliage of the beet is
the only place where the juices that
form sugar are made. The leaf of the
sugar beet is capable by means of
light to assimilate the carbonic acid
from the air and the water from the
roots, and in this way sugar is pro-
duced. The sugar is then transferred
through the veins and stems Of the
leaves to the beet root.
Sugar beets as have abundant fol-
iage. are usually high in sugar con-
tent and their sugar content is pro-
portional to the size and development
of the leaf surface. Again leaves ly-
ing fiat on the ground produce more
sugar than the upright ones. The
more continuously the sky is cloudy
and the lower the temperature, the
less is the increase of sugar. With
uniform light during the day, the
greatest increase takes place before
noon. With carbonic acid in the air
to an unlimited quantity, and the wat
err in the soil, the work of forming
sugar and other organic substances
can begin within the cells in the leaf
with the help of light and heat.
One often hears farmers say, "Su.
gar beets take too much sugar from
the soil; they impoverish the SOIL" ant
so on. This erroneous idea has evi.
IDENTIFY been brought over by immi
grants from European countries long
ago. More recently, those European
countries growing beets have beer
convinced that sugar beets do not ex'
haust the soil of its fertility any
more than do other crops equally al
productive. Today, one could hardly
imagine European agriculture without
sugar beets as one member in the ro'

These are New York, Pennsylvania,

Island. This new taxation was laid to
