MAY REPEAL ANTLouEL LAW

: MADISON, Wis.--The shortage of
white paper may restore the ancient
and honorable practise of dueling to
the ethical code of the Wisconsin
gentlemen. It also may permit many
other acts which now are contrary to
law.
The fact is the price Of white paper
has gone so high that the state Of
Wisconsin feels it must economic. As
the constitution demands that ali
state laws shall be published once
every two years. the state may have
to repeal many laws to save paper
Assemblyman W. A. Campbell of
Milwaukee has introduced bill in
the legislature to repeal the law pro-
hfhiting dpeling He said the law was
useless and a lot of white paper was
wasted every two years to reprint It..

A number or men come into Cuba
every year for the cane cutting sea
son, which lasts from about the mid
die OF December until the middle OF
the ensuing summer, but the labor
available for the sugar industry is not
sufficient. In fact, the. shortage OF
labor today in Cuba is the great handi-
cap for any further extension of the
sugar business in the island. Among
the cane cutters are laborers from
Spain, negroes from Jamaica, the Can.
airy Islands and other points. A good
cane cutter can cut from two and one

self. No machine can take the place
OF the expert The giant knife some
times more than two feet long and
keen-edged as razor, strikes the stalk
diagonally an inch or two above the
ground and emerges below the soil. If
the cane were to be cut horizontally,
that is straight across and level with
the ground, it is probable that the
hard outside sheathing of the stalk
which encloses the juicy cellular mat
ter, would split or crack, affording
access to insects or bacteria which
would set up process of decay, that
spreading downward. might kill the
roots, thus eliminating the likelihood
Of a new stalk the next year.
As soon as the army of cane cutters,
sometimes comprising two or three
thousand men, marches into the cane
fields, there begins fight against time
that only ends when the cut cane
passes into the huge iron jaws of the
crusher. II stalk of cane has been
cut from the ground, If the leaves
have been cut off arresting its growth,
or IL It has been burned, it rapidly
sours. Fire going through a field of
cane win cause the juice to exude and
permit the air to gain access to the
interior, causing the same to sour
more rapidly than il it had been cut
at the proper time; in any event when
the life of the cane Is arrested by
any Of these means, fermentation sets
up in the sugary juice. Often you can
taste alcohol in the fermenting cane.

any event the sooner the cane gets TO
the mill the better. -.
and this is one CT the big problems
CT the sugar industry in Cuba. Among
the factors that help solve the prob
lem are the bull carts. There are
thousands of bulls throughout the
the cane to the railroad switches.
They are huge, ponderous, heavy
shouldered animals as a rule with a
low but apparently irresistible for
ward motion not TO be stopped by
mud which reaches up to their bel
lies. A team of six, eight, ten or
even twelve bulls will pull a huge
tWo-wheel cart loaded with cane
through a. bog or soggy road about
as fast as they would go without it;
some Of these bulls have been crossed
with the gigantic sacred Brahmin
bulls of India. Others come from
Mexico. Porto Rico or Central and
South America. Often We may see
them, out of cane season, charging
one another in the meadows, or push
ing head to head, each striving TO
force his antagonist backward or to
deliver telling thrust in the others
neck or shoulders. Seen in the Gu
ban pastures, shaded by giant fronds
of palms and the laceries of luxuriant
tropical growths. the big bulls seem
for supremacy.
but back to the cane fields. There
may be 10000 or. 10000 acres of them.
or more--two or three thousand men,
armed with machetes are out to cut
the cane. They may be miles apart,
but the cane they cut is destined for
the same objective, the sugar mill In
some cases the cane may require the
immediate attention of the def knife
wielders. The long stalks, weighing
II or 20 pounds, fall like blades of
grass before the. army of machete
men. They are loaded into the in
terminable procession of carts that
revolves between the cutters and the
railroad siding. They are caught by
cranes from the carts and loaded into
the cane cars, and then begins the
transportation and manufacturing end
of the giant sugar industry.
Recently | visited the great sugar
plant at Preston. Cuba. There are 81
miles Of standard gauge rock ballast
ed railroad extending from the cane
fields to the factory There are
eleven Aston mogul locomotives and
strings of cane cars that would ex-
tend for miles if placed in a single
line. There are wharves. docks, a
lumber mill. foundry, ETC., besides the
big sugar mill. and all this equipment
is to produce sugar from cane stalks.
The plant has capacity of 300 to
1900 tons OF cane each day of "a
hours, for the mills run night and day

ried by cane conductor TO q giant
crusher, where the stalks are sub.
United to pressure OF $50 tons After
this it passes through the rolls OF the
mill, which are smother than those
Of the erusher, and where it is sub
mitted to 500 tons, pressure. There
are three mill buildings In the fac
tory, each of which is SO feet wide
by 312 feet long,. The cane after be-
ing crushed is called bagasse and
goes to the furnaces to make steam
to operate the factory, where a total
OF 5000 horsepower is generated
After the cane juice has. been
squeezed from the cane by the
crusher and the mill it is conveyed to
the lining tanks which are feature
OF the boiling house. The lime neu-
tralizes the acid in the cane juice.
The lining house consists of one
main building and two leaE-to bays,
the buildings covering an area, of 165
feet by 234 feet, The main structure
IS 80 feet high, giving ample space for
the huge machinery and giant tanks
required. The cane juice then goes
through an elaborate course of pliri-
Gcation and evaporation, through
giant watts, crystallizers, juice heat
ers, defectors, vacuum pans, scum
tanks, centrifugal and other operative
appliances, but within less than a
days time much of the cane that en-
tered the crusher in the morning
could that evening be traced to the
sugar bins, where the sugar passes
through automatic scales and is ready
for market.
At this factory the sugar is stored
in huge warehouses. Then il is
loaded on flat cars, 120 sacks to
car, hauled down to; the dock by
locomotive, where the ships are pulled
up by the ships winch and the sugar
loaded aboard at the rate of 5000 to
5000 sacks per day.
But in a great sugar plant, neither
the cane fields nor the factory tell
the. whole story by any means. The
biggest problem is the human equa-
ton. One OF the first steps in the
building of great sugar plant in the
semi-tropics is the establishment of
adequate health measures. At Pres.
ton, which is named after Mr.. Andrew
w. Preston, president Of the United
Fruit Company, there is modern hos
pital and clinic branches of the lat
ter extending throughout the cane
growing district; there are two
churches and school; there is a
milk pasteurizing plant; there is a
garbage incinerator plant to burn up
all garbage collected during each day;
there is pure water system with
water pumped into every home.
There are electric lights, telephones,
public parks. There are clean. shaded
streets and attractive homes. The
hospital, aside from the great work
it is doing, is a wonderful object les
son to those who for the first time
see what may be accomplished. 1t has
quarters, oderlies' quarters,
cement operating room, surgical ward.
contagious hospital, dental clinic and
other features. The town is as
healthy as any in Cuba if not in the
world The spirit is democratic in
this American sugar outpost. All are
welcome and free to. pass the time
as they like.
Thus the cane sugar industry in
Cuba is fulfilling other destinies than
the manufacture of sugar which the
world needs. i. s-:E.

many as the elf of the film.
Miss Martin. before she entered the

Miss Martin is surrounded by a
cast Of unusual excellence including
Tom Forman, the clever and popular

URGENT NEED
FOR BAKERS
Fargo Office Advised to.
Make Special Effort to
Get Men

Urgently needed" is the phrase
used by the bureau Of navigation in
announcements to its recruiting Of
ces in the western section, calling
for cooks and bakers.
The order states that the enlist
ment of men in these branches is at
present very slow, and that all men
enrolled are almost certain of active
duty Immediately, or in a very short
time.
1t is directed that all recruiting
stations shall make extra special eff
forts to obtain enlistments OF cooks
and bakers. Through this second an
nouncement the bureau of navigation
hopes for as good results as when
the call was made for musicians and
hospital corps men.
