Too, Too Sad

When peace comes and Uncle Sam tackles the
proposition of fostering infant industries, he will
be asked to hand over full bottle Of rich milk to
the American Sugar Refining Co., or present signs
are off color
This company's annual report for the full year
of 1917 shows net profits of 291, against
The company, this years profit was on $780, 900
$1,015853 the year before the war; but complains
of business dOne tone of the smallest profits on
turnover in the manufacturing world.'
More ptiful still is what this company reports as
TO competition. In 1894 it supplied three-fourths
of the sugar consumed by Americans. 1t now sup
plies less than one-third In addition, of the %
cane refineries in the U. s., 16 are bucking the
American Sugar Refining Co. and 81 beet-sugar
Factories have sprung up. In 20 years the per-
centage of sugar furnished by competitors has
sprung from % to so, with beet sugar supplying
a quarter of the consumption. In short, beauti
full monopoly is beautifully busted and cannot
make over ten times as much as it made before the
war, that godsend to profiteers, came along. Re-
turn of peace means despair, and well certainly
head this bald headed bewhiskered old infant
bowling for fostering later on.

Rupture Kills
1000 Annually

Seven thousand persons each
year are laid away-the burial
certificate being marked "Rup-
ture." Why? Because the I'M
fortunate ones had neglected
themselves or had been merely
taking care of the sign (swelling)
of the affliction and paying no
attention to the cause. What are
you doing? Are you neglecting
yourself by wearing a truss, APP
pliance, or whatever name you
choose to call it? At best, the
truss is only a makeshift-a false
prop against colapsing wall
and cannot be expected to act as
more than mere mechanical
support. The binding pressure
retards blood circulation, thus
robbing the weakened muscles OF
that which they need most--nour-
ishment.
But science has found a way
and every truss sufferer In the
land is invited to make a FREE
test right in the privacy Of their
own home. The PLAPAO method
is unquestionably the most scien-
tific, logical and successful self
treatment for rupture the world
has ever known.
The PLAPAO PAD when ad-
herring closely to the body cannot
possibly slip or shift out Of place,
therefore, cannot chafe or pinch.
Soft as velvet-easy to apply

you worn and whilst you sleep.

Vote for Development

The Times is for ownership of essential public
utilities as general principle.
Unlike some of its advocates, we are also for pub
lie ownership in definite cases.
In the particular public ownership problem that
Tacoma now faces-namely, the proposition of ac-
quiring the r. r. & P. street railway systematic
Times recommends eyes" vote.
We are fully aware that this measure as it APP
pears the ballot has it's faults There several
possibly serious legal and financial obstacles which,
II the proposition carries, must be met and over
come before Tacoma can attain full ownership OF
The transportation plant.
But this is neither strange nor unusual. Rather
It is inevitable. The public never yet was given
perfect project for its acceptance nor perfect can
nidate for its offices.
For example, the army post proposition on which
Pierce county voted year ago last January, was
open to endless theoretical objections 1t was i'm
possible, prepOsterous and unconstitutional 1t was
ntried and visionary. And any two-by-four "anti''
could demonstrate those facts by the hour.
But the people of Pierce county that the
project was fundamentally sound, that it was
economically right that it civically good. They
voted Overwhelmingly for t, and stimulated leg
islature and supreme court soon dissolved the
mythical obstacles.
Tacoma's street railway conditions are deplora-
ble Under existing methods, they can only grow
worse.
Municipal owenrship of the SYSTEM as The Times
sees it, is the most feasible means of getting the
city decent service Without it, we will be indus
trialy hampered With it, there are no bounds to
the growth and development the city should make.
A vote for the municipal railway is vote for
more efficient Tacoma.

I saw Dick and Mr.. Trent leave
the house, walk down to the gate

going to the office of Mr.. Trent's
attorney.
As | watched them walk across

And Ivan's family, like Mother
Trent, would not believe that he

brood over his approaching fate.
Tolstoy tells as graphically as

WHEAT CROP FAIR

| The farmers of this section are busy
threshing their wheat, and while the
crop is not up to the usual standard
there is a much better turnout. thar
even the most sanguine expected
Seven threshing machines are running
full blast within five miles of this town,
and from what can be heard there is
a little more than two-t thirds of crop
of wheat in most places, and not full
crop in any place. From eighteen to
twenty two bushels per acre seems to
be about the average yield, whereas
usually the yield here is from twenty
two to thirty-five bushels per acre.
Much of the wheat being threshed is
being loaded on the cars and shipped
Immediately, and many farmers living
some distance from the station here
are taking advantage of automobile
trucks, and are hiring them to haul
the grain from the threshing machine
to the cars. The price is from g! to g.!
cents per bushel, depending upon the
distance, and with them the hauling
has proven more economical than haul
ing with teams, when the high prices
of farm labor and the boarding of the
men is considered. One truck last week
hauled nearly 1000 bushels of wheat
from the farm of Harry Bingnear, at
Odessa, in one day of ten hours.
A labor shortage was feared here
during the harvest season, but there
has been enough help to save the wheat
crop and do the threshing. without
calling on the citizens here.

Making Nitrogen From Air

The largest experimental plant in
the United States for the manufacture
of fixed nitrogen from the air. with the
exception of the ones now being con-
structed for the War Department, is in
operation at the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Experiment Farm,
Arlington Va. At this plant the nitrogen
from the air is combined with hydrogen
to form ammonia. which can be used in
the manufacture of explosives fertiliz
ers. Experiments are now being con-
Quoted at this plant by the Bureau OF
soil with view to increase the efficiency
of the press. The War Department is
cooperating in this work. What is
known as the Haber process of nitrogen

are mixed in the proper proportions,
but under high pressure. subjected to
intense heat and passed over spongy
