Increase In Price Of Sugar Beets May
 Be Forced by War

Berlin, Feb. 5-An increase in the
 maximum wholesale price of sugar
 beets from 35 pfennigs per hundred
 weight to 1.35 or even 1.50 is held te be necessary if production is to be encouraged sufficiently to insure @ normal crop in 1916.s Representative of the sugar industry, and of agricul- ture in general, gathered recently in the ministry of the interior to discuss the sugar beet problem. According to the best obtainable estimates, the
 1916 sugar production from ethe best crop will total only 30 million hun dred-weight, as against a normal pro- duction of from 50 to 55 hundred weight.
 The reason for the decreased pro- duction lies primarily in the high price of grain. Farmers find it more profitable to plant their farms to wheat than to beets because the wheat brings them higher prices. Therefore, if beets are to be grown again, the price for them must be sentatives pleaded for a maximum price at -1.6O marks or even 2 marks per hundred-weight. It was pointed out that the cost of labor has greatly increased and that many other fixed charges that enter into the production of sugar from beets have gone up. The majority of those present at the meeting however agreed that max inum price of 1.5O was sufficient to induce increased planting of sugar beets, to point whereby about 40 million hundred-weight> would be raised in all probability. This new price it is proposed, will become eff fective Sept 1, 1916, or before the crop is harvested. The 40 million hun dred weight it is believed will be am ply sufficient for all of Germany's needs.
 The proposed increase in the price of sugar beets will cause a correspond ing increase in the price of raw sugar. It now is controlled by a maximum price of 12 marks per hundred-weignt, and will go up to at least IS marks.

The Jesuits and Jews, who now

are bound to give Tom Watson
good opportunity to demonstrate his
power with the thinking and loyal
people of this country. He has done
a great work already, and he will
do much more The patriotic peo-
pie, who are not slaves to gold and
lechery, are forming in solid pha-
lanX for his support. The prostitute
press, the hireling politicians and
preachers, and the slavish mercan-
tile dudes are trembling before this
rising power. We will re-establish
the great principles promulgated by
the patriots of the Revolution.
THE JEWS ARE VERY ACTIVE.
We notice especially since Leo
Frank was hanged by patriotic Geor
gians, that the plutocratic sheets in
the North are giving much space to
Jewish activities-they are trying
hard to boost the Jews, as they have
been boosting the Jesuits. This is
not done from an unselfish and pa
triotic principle, but by the dictates
of sordid gain. This conduct will
have the effect of arousing a public
spirit and crystallizing sentiment
against Judaism, as it has done
against Romanism.

A LETTER FROM MANAGER OF MOUL-

Swine Elixir Co., City.
Gentlemen: / understand that you are
putting several men on the road in this
section of the South who will call on the
trade selling your Swine LiXir. You will
pardon me, but / want to insist that you
instruct your men to make special effort
to sell every man that they possibly can
i'll this packing house territory, which, as
you know, covers Florida, Georgia and
Alabama.
My reason for making this request is in
the hopes that / will get better hogs, as
from a great many tests which / have
made / find that the Swine LiXir treated
hogs are much better in every way; the
meat is firm and better, and the percentage
runs much higher than it does in hogs that
were never treated with Swine LiXir. This,
you will see is not only to the advantage
of the Packing House, but it is also of
great advantage to the farmer, in every
where L know that hogs have been
treated regularly with Swine LiXir, I pay
from so to IS cents per hundred pounds
more than / do for hogs that were not
treated with it.
Swine Lixir certainly keeps the hogs
clean of all worms, stomach, kidney and
lung worms as WELL and it is ,1y opinion
that for that reason the Swine 4fXir treat
ed hogs are worth much more.
Yours very truly,

GOOD TIMES THAT ARE GONE

the old man'd get up and put his pants
on and take down the fiddle. and
they'd move the chairs and things out
and have a dance; stay up till all
hours, and get home about time to
feed the stock. Ah dear. they were
neighbors in those days!
And, even so, that didn't come up
to what he'd heard tell about of the
heroic period of this country, the ro-
mantle age, the log-cabin DAYS, when
they were all poor and struggling, but
happy in their poverty, when the
latchstring was always out, and they
would share their last pint of corn
meal with the wayfarer, not knowing
where the next was to come from. but
sure they would make out somehow"

and all the devices by which what was
hard labor for one lone family was
