Am. Beet Sugar
Doubles Profits on
Output Last Year
Earnings Are Equal to $2S
a Share on the Com
mon Stock

Earnings Of the American Beet Sugar
Company in the year ended March 81
last were approximately 100 per cent
ahead Of The preceding twelve months.
The annual report of the corporation,
made public yesterday, showed a bal
ance available for common stock divi-
dends equivalent to 1886 a share, com
pared with s14.3O share in the year
before. With the beet sugar produc-
ton Of Europe more than cut in half
because Of the war, the foreign demand
on the American supply has increased
enormously and, together with the re-
sultant rise in sugar prices, enables the
American Beet Sugar Company TO dis
pose of its output on a most advanta-
geous market.

for the fiscal period, compared with
the preceding twelve months, follows:

Allies Spend Ten Millions Daily in
America.

In an article about Edward R. Stet-
tinius, the biggest buyer in the world,
the September American Magazine says:
"An official statement made in the
British House of Commons revealed that
the allies purchases in America reached
ten million dollars daily. Think of it!
OF these purchases, figure without
parallel in history, the banking firm
of j. P. Morgan & company had to han
die large share. In no previous year
had all the foreign countries of the
world combined taken any such quanti-
ty of American products And on one
man, Edward R. Stettinius, quiet, I'M
obtrusive, untrumpeted American citizen,
fell the burden of marshaling and man
aging the practical, non-fnancial end of
the task
latter careful study says Mr.. Stet-
tinius, we decided that in placing war
contracts we would have to be guided
less by the nature of any concerns pro-
duct than by the character of the men

at its head. We figured that the layout
of any plant, the design of the buildings
or the kind of machinery in it was OF
minor Importance to the degree OF sue
cess that had been exhibited in running
It. In other words, bricks and mortar,
machines and tools, were not what we
went by, but the brains that admins
tered these things.
Through the knowledge and expert
ence and ramifcations of those in the
Morgan firm, we had good idea of
who was who and what was what
throughout the manufacturing world.
We knew the men who had demonstrat-
ed unusual ability in different lines, and
we got in touch with them, no matter
what they were producing. Meanwhile,
we were selecting men to negotiate for
the purchase of the varied materials we
were required to purchase and in three
months had perfected an organization.

squad, as they had been going hard
since early in September with very
little let up.
While the season has not been a
great success, the schedule has been
one of the hardest that a Delaware
team has tackled for some years. 1t
was the first season for Baumgartner
as Coach, he succeeding William j.
McAvoy, who had coached Delaware
elevens for ten years and who is now
lieutenant at Camp Dix. Coach
Baumgartner did not come to Della
ware until about one week before the
opening game which was with Mary
land A. c., and consequently had little
chance to get the squad in shape for
that contest.
OPINIONS differ as to the work of the
new coach, but there seems to be gen.
eral satisfaction with the results OBJ
tanned, taking into consideration the
inexperienced material that he had to
build a team from. There have been
number of set backs due to injur-
les and numerous changes were made
by the coach to try and get winning
combination. The loss of Clancy who
sustained a fractured collar bone
shortly after the first game, weakened
the team considerable, as he was by
far the best end in the squad.
The showing of Delaware against
Swarthmore in the first half of the
game on Saturday was a surprise to
everyone The blue and gold put up a
fight that made every son of Della
ware proud of them, but the weight
of the Little Quakers" was too much
for them in the last half.
To date Delaware has won two and
lost five games. The team started off
by losing to Maryland A. c., at Col
lege Park after Coach Baumgartner
had been in charge but one week, and
consequently had little opportunity to
even judge of the ability of the men,
bers of the squad. This defeat was
,osiowed by victory over Haverford
on the latter's grounds which was the
first time nmany years that blue
and gold team had won from Haver-
ford. Delaware next lost to Western
Maryland and Dickinson, but defeat
ed Gallaudet and then lost to Stevens
and Swarthmore.
The game with St. Mary's Thanks
giving Day should bring out large
crowd. The two teams are apparent
ly evenly matched and there is pros
poets Of close game. Mt. St. Mary's
defeated Delaware last Thanksgiving.
