A unique plan OF identifying stamp

devised by the treasury and postoflce
departments. This will be done
through specially printed franked
red post card, which has been author
lied for the exclusive use OF the
scouts. Aside from this, special
awards nave been offered by the gov

sEET SYRUP INFERIOR
WHEN MADE AT HOME

! Syrup making with sugarbeets
is being urged as a means to help
out the sugar chartage, but in
trials at the Paulding County
(Ohio) Experiment Farm the pro
cess proved too expensive and
laborious and the syrup was too
low in quality to Justify its gen
eral adoption. Advocates Of the
practice recommend slicing the
beets and boiling to remove the
sugar. The impurities cannot well
be removed and the cost is high
when syrup is made at home ON a
small scale in this way.
Sugarbeets are grown through
out northwestern Ohio and
shipped to central sugar-makine
factory. Growers find the culture
of the crop profitable in that sec
ton. Sorghum has a greater
range of adaptation, and syrup is
more easily made in farm mills
from it than from sugarbeets.

GETTING MONEY FOR
PUBLIC SERVICE cos.
A Typical Experience of One Who
Tries to Secure Money Needed to
Extend an Electric Light
Plant.

City service corporations are re-
quired to add extensions to their
plants as the public demands. The
rapid, recent growth Of many Ohio
towns has required utilities to secure
added capital. The doubling of costs
of operation and maintenance have
consumed surplusses.
How will they get necessary
money?
Not long ago Mr.. e. X. Hall of the
Electric Bond and Share company.
N. Y, gave typical dialogue show
ing the difficulty of getting new
money for extending a utility, as fol-
lows:

How much do you pay on your
stock?"
Right now we are paying four per

How much is your stock selling
for on the market?"
Selling for about $50, but we will
sell you new stock for 500 share.
We are not allowed to issue It at

We say, "All right"
He says. What can you give me
