URGES Farmers
TOMAKE SUGAR

CHEYENNE, MISUNDERSTANDING
farmers are being urged to manutae-
ture their own sugar as a means OF
cutting down on the cost of living
and in helping to win the war. The
appeal Is being made by DR.. H. G.
knight, chairman of the state council
Of defense, as the result Of success
full experiments which were tried out
on the farm of Lew Jacobs OF Ten
sleep, Wyoming. Mr.. Jacobs declares
that the scheme is practicable upon
any farm.
"While 1t is not generally under
stood" he says, sugar is one Of the
easiest things to manufacture and at
the same time Is quite costly article
for the average family. Anyone with
a plot of ground only so. feet square
can produce sugar enough for an or
binary family and the process Of max
ing crude sugar Is simple in the ex-
IRENE. No machinery whatever is
required. The best of strip and dark
sugar can be produced by the use OF
a common kettle, a few gunny sacks
to hold the beets after they are boiled,
and a box made Of common lumber
to catch the Juice as It is pressed
out. The process is more simple than
the oId.fashioned way Of making ma.
pie sugar"
Here is the recipe he has used:
! boil your. beets in a common feed
cooker and then; put them into gunny
sacks The sacks should first be
boiled, to take out all jute and oil
taste, otherwise, the Juice will be
spoiled, as the taste of the burlap
will be conveyed to the sap. The
,beets In the sack should then be
pressed until all the Juice comes out.
All that is needed for a press is to
axe a pole or other timber and fasten
one end solid near the sacks and on
the other end hang q weight of some
kind. This will gradually press out
the Juice. The juice is then boiled
down in q kettle. BY this process,
enough sugar and strip to last an
ordinary family an entire season is
provided at very small cost.

TIES
UP OIL SUPPLY,
CAUSES SCARCITY

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Lack OF
sufficient number of purely cargo bot
toms, and the East's supposed misun'
Outstanding of Western conditions,
are two elements that have created
an oil shortage in the West according
to oil experts here.
The oil experts make this explana'
ton as their view of the real reasons
for. the threatened crippling of west
ern industries due to lack of fuel oil.
The bottoms, they declare, are need
ed to bring the oil out Of Mexico, for
that country'in their opinion can sup,
ply the oil needs of all Europe and a
good part of this country indefinitely.
To bring this oil out of Mexico by
rail is prohibitiVe, they say. Ships
are the only salvation, and there are
not enough ships to supply the Euro
pean demand alone.
There is a scarcity of supply;~but
no potential shortage, these oil men
contend. And they believe that If
Congress opened to development,
these experts assert, the states oil
reserve, which has shrunk from over

self only from the wells it is allowed
to operate III this district.
So far as is known there are no
laws that will allow of the issuing of
patents on these lands. In brief, the
government, now that it has these
lands In Its possession, has no machin-
cry to bestow them, upon prospective
operators, as the old placer mining
laws under which they were first 10.
Gated are now imperative.
The question will be solved, these
oil men declare, when Congress sees
the necessity Of passing laws opening

preaching the doctrine that Germany S
best hope of saving the situation is to
did that he suggests that peace nego-
tiations might begin this year by both
sides abandoning their faith in the
possibility OF military decision of the
war
In Die Zukunft he enlarges on all
these sub bieCts and makes capital of
the kaiser's Easter rescript He points
out that there was no evidence what
ever for the statement in the rescript
that the kaiser. at the beginning OF
the war ordered preliminary work
to be done with a view to the reform
of the Prussian franchise
Harden indicates that the general
outlook, unless Germany can be saved
by conversion to democracy is as
black as can be.
He disposes first of the idea that
Germany can profit from the Russian
revolution and says.
"The Russian today secs a goal on
reaching which he hopes to be com.

knows that his ideal which is now
