SUGAR beet OUTPUT
IN STATE DOUBLED
I6o, 1000 TONS OF SUGAR FIGURED
ON A CROP OF 10000 TONS
OF REETs.
100000 BEING DISTRIBUTED
Excellent Crop Due to Unusually
Favorable Weather. Both During
Growing and Maturing Season.

-Michigan's output of beet
sugar this year will be more than dou-
BILE that of last year. The sugar beet
crop is now being garnered and the
factories throughout the state are re-
leasing a golden food upon the farm
ers in the beet raising districts.
The sugar beet crop is estimated at
well over 100000 tons. raised in an
area not much larger than is COM
prised by Is or Is ordinary sized coun-
ties. The farmer receives $40 a ton,
fiat, which means that more than $1O,-
100000 is being distributed among the
beet raisers in comparatively small
part of the state
The excellent crop, due TO unusually
favorable weather, both during the
growing and maturing season, brings
Joy to thousands of farmers. For two
years their crops have been small or
a failure-last years total was scarce
ly so per cent of normal. The growing
season this year was exceptional. ex.
cept in the western part of the state.
where the summer drouth cut down
somewhat the tonnage per acre The
rains of late September, followed by
warm October sunshine, matured the
beets under ideal conditions and the
sugar content leaped upward until it
reached an average of probably 16 or
II per cent. This latter circumstance
will be a benefit to the factories, as
they pay a fat rate, irrespective of
the sugar content. On basis of Is
per cent the states output of sugar
will be more than 100 900 tons, figured
on a crop of 100000 tons of beets.
The Saginaw Valley and Thumb dis
tricts in which are the three Bay City
plants and the Carrollton, Caro- and St.
Clair factories, will draw the largest
share of the 100000. Gratiot and
Isabella county farmers benefit
through the Alma-st Louis plants;
Shiawasee and Ingham and parts of
surrounding counties draw big money
from the huge Saginaw and Owosso
factories; Monroe and Lenawee draw
from the Blissfleld plant; Macomb has
good beet acreage; Ottawa county
supplies the Holland factory, and Me-
nominee and Delta. in the upper pen
insula, draw big payrolls from the Me-
nominee company.

JACKSON BOOKSTORE GONE OVER
Appraisal Ordered BY Gov. Sleeper Of
All State Prison Property.

Lansing Arrangements were made
Attorney Gen. Groesbeck and Harry
S. Hulburt, the warden, TO start the
work OF getting at the facts as to the
financial standing OF the prison.
Governor Sleeper will within a few
days arrange to have a first class de-
tailed appraisal made of the prison
property and thus give the prison a
clean slate on the states books. At
torney General Groesbeck agreed to
send one of his assistants to the pris-
ON to gather first-hand information
on legal aspects of the prison work.
Both Investigations, or reviews, are
more than acceptable TO Warden HUI
burt.
The decision to make a complete ap.
praisal was reached by Gov. Sleeper
and Auditor General Fuller several
days ago and the two have been
waiting the arrival of the warden here
to settle details.
At the capitol there was feeling
that at last the mueh-discussed ques-
ton of whether Jackson prison was
a money maker or a money loser was
about to be clarified. For several
years during the incumbency of Ma
than F. Simpson, Colonel Disque and
Edward Frensdorf in the wardenship
there has been an argument over the
exact standing of the prison. The
states book showed nothing and in
the meantime 100000 OF the revolv-
ing fund furnished by the state has
apparently been lost track of.
The next legislature is to be asked
for large appropriations to the prison
chiefly for Requiring buildings and
machinery.

terms the reason why extraordinary
safeguards must be demanded. Signi-
ficant and important as the constitu-
tional changes seem 10 be which are
spoken officially by the German for
eign secretary in his note Of the goth
OF October, It does not appear that
the principles of a government re-
sponsible to the German people has
yet been fully worked out or that any
guarantees either exist OF are I'm con-
temptation that alterations of prin-
ciple and of practice now partially
agreed on will be permanent.
Moreover, il does not appear that
the heart of the present difficulty has
been reached. II may be that future
wars have been brought under con-
troll of the German people, but the
present war has not been; and it is
with the present war that we are
dealing. II is evident that the Ger
man people have no means of COM
manding acquiescence OF military au-
thorities of the empire in the popular
will; that the power of the king of
Prussia TO control the policy OF the
empire is unimpaired; that the deter
mining initiative still remains with
those who hitherto have been masters
Of Germany. Feeling that the whole
peace of the world depends now on
plain speaking and straightforward
action, the president deems it his
DUTY to say, without any attempt to
soften what may seem harsh words,
that the nations of the world do not
and cannot trust the word OF those
who hitherto have been masters CT
German policy, and TO point out once
more that in concluding peace and
attempting TO undo the infinite in
juries and injustices of this war the
government OF the United States can
not deal with any but veritable re-
representatives. OF the German people
who have been assured of a genuine
constitutional standing as the real
rulers of Germany.
IF il must deal with the military
masters and the monarchical auto
Gratis Of Germany now, or if 1t ia
likely TO have to deal with them Ia
ter in regard to international obliga-
tons OF the German empire, it must
demand, not peace negotiations, but
surrender, Nothing can be gained by
leaving this essential thing unsaid.

ances of my high consideration,

AUSTRIA MAKES
PLEA FOR PEACE
WILSON'S WORDS FORCE TO THE
UTMOST WITHOUT LIMIT, THE
ANSWER OF ALLIES
ALLIES DEAF TO TEUTON CRY
There Will Be No Peace Meeting
Until Germany Accepts Principles
Laid Down BY Wilson

Washington. - Austria is cracking
and instead of wasting time will
worse than useless peace talk nov
is the time to strike her hardest. This
was the view expressed in Official
quarters here when word came in press
dispatches from Amsterdam that Aus
tria-Hungary had proposed "non-bind
ing" peace discussions between the
belligerent nations on neutral ground
Germany's latest peace feeler, ad-
vanced through Austria, it was official
ly stated, best finds its answer in
President Wilson's Baltimore speech,
delivered last April:
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall make
right the law OF the world, and cast
every selfish dominion in the dust"
That was the presidents answer
then and it was reiterated, it is his
answer now.
No one doubts that it is the answer
on restricted front near the Moselle
of the allies.
While Austria's proposal, reported
from Amsterdam, had not reached
Washington in official form, it is ex-
pected through some neutral-possibly
Sweden-and in it is recognized the
long-heraIded peace offensive upon
which Germany is counting to arouse
enough sentiment for peace among the
people of the allied countries to COM
pei an end of the war on terms which
would preserve the Prus-
sian conquest.
The allied leaders recognize this as
an effort by Germany to obtain the
best terms possible.
There will be no round table con-
erences, no sounding out process, such |
IS Germany proposes and such as she
hopes will give opportunity probably |
o deal with her enemies separately.
