enable the county to become one Of the
leading sugar producing counties of
Minnesota.
While Minnesota's beat sugar industry
is still in it's infancy and there is but
one beet sugar factory in the state, this
being located at Chaska, Carver county,
it has demonstrated it's value to the
state. Last year this single factory
paid to farmers total Of $184,607.50,
this tidy sum going to pay for 1856
tons of sugar beets which were grown by
632 farmers on 1856 acres of land. In
addition to this amount the industry con-
tributed in the form of salaries and wages
over $4,000. Thousands Of dollars
were paid to railroads and thousands Of
dollars were expended for fuel and general
supplies, all Of which has added to the
prosperity Of other Minnesota industries.
The records show that this year there
are 657 farmers, with 6582 acres. en-
gagged in growing sugar betts for the
Chaska factory. It is estimated that the
Minnesota sugar beet production will
amount to approximately $4,000 tons,
for which the farmers will receive approxi-
mately $297, 100000.
The sugar consumption Of the state Of
Minnesota during 1914 amounted to
approximately 10000 tons for which
the consumers paid out approximately
$11 ,OOO,O 900. In view Of the fact that
only 1854 tons of sugar was actually
grown and made at home over ten and
one-half million dollars were sent out Of
the state last year for sugar. In other
words Minnesota is exporting millions
Of dollars every year for an article Of food
which, providing her beet sugar industry

it is we'll able to produce at home. 1thas
been shown that every county in the state
is we'll adapted to the growing OF sugar
beets, insofar as soil and climatic con-
ditions are concerned. In view of this
fact it is not improbable that, if the in
dustry was developed, Minnesota would
become one of the foremost sugar pro-
ducing states of the Union.-S. Peter

l. Et0lle du N0rd.

In Minnesota there is a growing state
consciousness, coordination of effort,
which must have far-reaching conse-
quences in the development of the
greatest state in the Union.
A State so rich in natural resources
that mere statistics fail to relate the facts,
a state so ideally situated as to reach
out with one hand to the greatest inland
waterway of the world, while with the
other it exchanges greeting with the
northwestern empire, Minnesota finds
it's lines cast in pleasant places.
Nature is found here in her most
amiable mood. Streams and water
courses wind about in an ever-varying
setting of hill, valley and rolling
prairie. Ten thousand lakes are scat
tered about it's surface in the most reck-
less profusion.
Withaland surface and potential wealth
capable Of supporting almost the present
population of the United States, it is still
untitled, still invites the pioneer and the
home-maker, a condition that prevails
nowhere else in all the. world.
These conditions are awakening the
ambition and effort of the present genera
tion, generation which is striving to
hasten forward the day when the bread
and butter state, the state of corn, of
clover, of wheat, of alfalfa and Of the
dairy, will have come into it's own.
Here are still found the opportunities
Of new community joined with the ad-
vantages of an already well developed
section with thoroughly titled soils and
populous cities.
Providence was in kindly and generous
mood when Minnesota was created.
Here is the source of the Father of
Waters. Here are ten thousand lakes,
scattered broadcast like jewels from the
workshop of the Creator. Here are
rivers, forests, hills and valleys, inter
spersed with rolling prairies which appeal

A Promising Industry.

Nicollet county has again entered the

Minnesota. The records show that
there are three farmers, with seventy

the county this year.

Nicollet county is well adapted to the
growing of sugar beets. In fact there is

he gives up to Germany he gets adequate
return, and he is ready to give up all for
her. Tell him he is a cog in State
machine, and he denies. It is not a
machine. His State has soul. It fits
him for life, furnishes him with labor,
glorifies his duties and glamours all his
rights into the one right to do something
to, put Germany over all. If you say
this is not SO, say tits what the German
thinks and feels. He may be but a
small part of the great organization,
but the organization does not ignore him.
It helps him, it directs him, it forms him,
and it forms him to an ideal that he be-
lieves is his own. If you would know
how this is done, read Frederic c. Howe's
book, "Socialized Germany" (Scribner's,
New York;. Mr.. Howe is no militarist,
no warrier warlock, but a paci6cist'; he
knows his Germany, having studied it
socially, economically, politically. He
shows how, in spite of imperialism and
militarism, the German people have been
moulded into force Of all for each and
each for all. Mr.. Howe is a little "d''
democrat and a militant Single Taxer,
but he shows how much more the ordi-
nary German gets for his work and taxes,
in those conveniences and comforts of
political contrivance. than the like man
gets anywhere else in the world, all things
considered. Germany is a paternal
socialism, but its paternalism and So
cialism assure it's people many things
which liberty does not assure elsewhere,
but which privilege, masking as liberty,
f1lches in freer lands. Germany is social
~ as well as militarily efficient. It has
no paupers. Its cities are almost inno-
cent of slums. The Government has its
finger in every pie, to the advantage of
the pie, even though it may operate to
make cheese cake when the individual
wants a custard. Government is omni-
present, omniscient and omnipotent,
but the citizen accepts it, because, upon
the whole, he thinks it cares for him well,
and particularly if he does we'll. How
Germany is socialized was never more
lucidly told than by Frederic c.. Howe.
He does not ignore the caste system,
nor the tendency to Representation.
But Representation works in such a
matter as taxation to the end of getting
more taxes than elsewhere out of those
for whom the State does most. Mr..
Howe shows that Germany's system is

Untold Wealth In School Funds.

In the next thirty-two years the

the state can receive from the source,
and represents Is cents ton royalty

proved up.
The amount the state will receive
from present leases, however. undoubted-

may be millions of dollars more than
that, for many of the state properties
on which the state tax commission
has listed las, 100000 tons of proved
ore have been drilled and proved only
in part, and the amount of ore found on
them is certain to exceed greatly that
which is proved up.
In addition the state has scores of
iron ore lands which have never been
drilled on which leases have not been
issued. All these lands some day will
be leased at a royalty, probably greater
than 25 cents a ton.
There are in existence little more
than 100. iron ore leases. which have
from twenty six to thirty-two years to
run.

It's easy to spend the other felloaus
money but tie Herald has the right idea.

Buy it at home this Christmas! Keep
prosperity in this town! What better
slogan could we have for a progressive
community spirit? Everybody wants
to see this town prosper, and we all want
to share in the fruits of that prosperity
Even the fellow who shabitually sends
out of town for his goods wants his full
quota of the riches that are accumulated
through the thrift and husbandry of his
fellow citizens. Producing and selling
the surplus abroad and then keeping our
money at home by buying from home
dealers will add many thousands. of
dollars to the money in circulation in this
community. 1t is sure way of meeting
prosperity with open arms and gathering
in our share and little more for good
luck. Let other communities support
themselves. Our interests and our duty
are at home. Let's keep prosperity in
this town.

Certain measures for dealing with

The most direct methods of dealing
with the inequality of wealth have al
