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 viii Devote It to
Beet Raising.

Madison Six thousand Wisconsin
farmers will plant sugar beets this
season as 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 it
to beet raising. The average Wiscon-
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. 1 and will remain in operation
for ninety days. Each Wisconsin plant
represents in outlay about $4,000
for building and equipment.

PARIS IS sHELLED
TWO GERMAN AIRsHIPS DROP
SEVENTEEN BOMBS ON THE
CAPITAL.
EIGHT HURT BY EXPLOSIVES
compeigne, 6lbecourt and Dreslln-
court shelIed; Aeropianes Drive Off
craft-6erlin Says Raid Was Re-
vence 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 Is 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 flocked 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
citys residents was marvellous. There
was 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 dozen aeroplanes we're 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 a small but powerful,
searchlight--that prevented the raid
ers from attacking the center of the
city, with its historic monuments.
Everywhere the department of the
people was remarkable. The 'qui
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 OFF,
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 Compeigne"

lives almost anywhere. They claimed
to represent the Twin City Subscrip-

officials Of that city have informed
local officers there is no such concern
there. Edwards and SweitZer were
Offering eastern publications to Volga
residents at such ridiculously low
prices that several became suspicious
and telephoned Sheriff Fred S. MINER.
The latter went over to Volga Tuesday
and examined the credentials present
pear satisfactory to him. He tele-
graphed the eastern publishing houses
and they seemed to know nothing of
the solicitors so the sheriff brought
them t Brookings for safety's sake.
The man named SweitZer has confess
they were merely fakirs and has
telegraphed a sister in Chicago to send
him money to pay back those Volga
residents whom he "stung." The oun
ty officials believe he was merely a
tool in Edwards hands and if he re-
turns the money to those solicited he
will be set free. The case of Edwards
probably come before Judge Carl
