c. of L.. Now.

Political strife in Cuba, railway con-
gestion in this country and enormous
purchases by the foreign governments
have made the price of sugar soar to
a new level. The mark reached today
in Topeka is $7.75 a hundred pounds.
Reports received at New York state
that immense cane fields in Cuba have
been burned and that the harvest of
the crop has been delayed by insurrec-
tons The little cane that has been
received in the United States has been
lying in the eastern warehouses await
ing settlement of labor strikes and
the railroad congestion. Only one
eastern refinery has been able to &C
cept orders for the last two weeks. The
others have all refused orders calling

England has just sent an order to
Cuba. houses for 100000 worth of
unrefined sugar. To fill this order
will take practically half of the
amount usually shipped to America.
However, the market will be held
down by the crop of sugar beets in the
west it is hoped.

FARMERS ALL RICH!
Most of Them Pay Cash for Every
thing, Auctioneer Crews Says.

If you don't believe the Kansas
farmer is prosperous these days ask
Charley Crews, well known Topeka
auctioneer. Crews, has been making
a tour thru the western part of the
state conducting series of public
sales. He conducted sales on 80 sue
cessive days, disposing of property
totalling $4,000. And he has had
an excellent opportunity at these sales
to observe the economic condition of
the state.
Crews asserts that not only are many
farmers selling out and retiring from
business, having made enough to keep
them comfortably, but that 80 per
cent of the sales are made for spot
cash. In other words plenty of ready
money is in circulation. Stock is sell
ing for the highest prices in the his
tory of the state. Thorobred~ cattle
readily bring 5000 to $1,000. Even
every day plug cows command as
high a price as $40 This news
may not create great joy in the hearts
of buyers of beef tenderloin and por-
terhouse steak, but for the agricul-
turist and stock breeder it means
money in the bank. Crews is booked
to conduct a public sale every day
from now to March 81.
