The cases of Attorneys Francis J. Breen, Solomon Badesch, Harry Greenstein and Harry Mesard, ac- cused of having defrauded Andrew P. Nichols of $1O, 900 were brought before the City court this morning and con tinued for two weeks. Bonds will re- main the same.
 The continuance was satisfactory to both the State and the defense, and probably was brought about by the fact that Judge John H. Light, of Norwall1, has not yet completed his investigation of the case. It is ex- pected that the case will be settled on April 8.

SIRUPS SAVE SUGAR
IN MAKING JELLIES
Directions Given by Department
Of Agriculture Experts.
When Fruit Is Cheap and Sugar Ex-
pensive JeIIies May Be Made to
Advantage With One Half Usual
Amount of Sweetenina.

To obtain the largest possible
amount Of Jelly from fruit with the
use Of the smallest possible amount of
sugar, follow the directions given be-
low by United States department Of
agriculture specialists:
If good jelly-making fruit, such as
ounce, green grapes, tart and partly
ripe apples, Siberian crabs, or cram
berries, Is being used, make second
extraction from the fruit. That is, take
the pulp from the jelly bag, add one
cupful of water to each pound of pulp,
cook 20 minutes, and drip second
time, using some pressure at the last.
standardization jellies are likely to be
somewhat different in flavor from the
first, and it is an excellent plan to com.
bine the two jellies before sweetening
When fruit is cheap and sugar ex-
pensive, jellies may be made to advan-
tage with one-half as much sweetening
as usual, that is, with one-half cupful
OF sugar to one cupful of Juice. The
yield Of Jelly will be less, for one cup
full of good Juice plus one cupful of
sugar should make between one and
one and one-half cupfuls Of jelly,
whereas one-half cupful Of sugar plus
one cupful Of juice makes between one
half cupful and three-fourths cupful of
jelly. g..
One-half Of the sweetening may be
glucose strip, light-colored corn strip,
honey or sorghum strip. If the other
half is graduated sugar, there will be
little noticeable difference in sweetness
in most cases. Grape with glucose or
corn sirup will make good jelly even
when no sugar is used.

Beets, Politics and Progress
By Byrd Trego
CHAPTER XVII.

erybody, and the industry of beet
raising has not moved away from
that condition as rapidly as | had
hoped it would.
Away back in the year 1901 when
Mr.. Havemeyer of New York City
decided that he would engage in
the beet sugar industry, he employed
man to go out making investiga-
lions and bring him all possible in
formation relating to that indus
try. He had made a careful study
of the cane sugar industry, and he
was so much interested in the beet
sugar industry, that he concluded
to; learn all there was to learn about
it, from the capitalistic standpoint.
For this important mission he en-
plOyed Mr.. Willett. In reporting
to Mr.. Havemeyer as to what was
the best climate to raise sugar beets
in, he named Colorado and the in
termountain states, because of their
irrigation and the great amount of
sunshine. In naming the popula-
ton that was best to raise beets, he
named the people of Utah and Ida
no, because so many Of them were
controlled by a central organization,
so that they could be handled. He
said the farmers of Colorado were
more independent, and acted more
on their own conclusions; that those
of Utah and Idaho were largely men,
bers of the Mormon church and had
been taught all their lives to be har-
monious and active in unity and to
respect and to carry out the advice
of their leaders. He said he had
looked into the matter enough to
know that the leaders in the Nor
mon church were friendly to the
beet sugar industry and that they
could get the friendly assistance of
the organization and that would help
considerable in handling the people
of that country. l have already told |
you in other chapters how Mr. Have
meyer came out to Salt Lake and up
into Idaho in the year 1903 and in
vestigated for himself, and while in
Salt Lake City made arrangements
for the purchase of a large inter-
est in the Utah Sugar company. He

The former German emperor, Will

larger than that which he had at Am

already begun calling Doom 1.-THE Lit

The allies demands upon Holland to
guard the former emperor closely have
made 1t impossible for William to
mingle with the Dutch country gentry
who have estates about Doom and the
house where he Is said to expect to
spend his remaining days is just like
little bit of Germany.

but now he is seldom seen outside the
wire fence of his estate, which villag-
ers call his "forty hectare cage" For
ty hectares are about so acres.
The few times he has been out, he
has paid visits to his former host,

Making Some Confessions

Making some confessions
should have been studying the
beet question and the sugar question
more thoroly than have for the past
seventeen or eighteen years. The
first few years after that enterprise
was commenced here it seemed to
me that somebody was always trying
to use me and my paper for their
benefit. And / became somewhat
disguised with the study of the sub
ject and the problems it brought
There are some subjects that do not
yield to study so that you can see
that there is any benefit derived
from following it up and digging
into 1t for information. The beet
question here seemed to be one OF
those subjects. The less man both
cred it, the better off he seemed to
be. The more he delved into the
question the more trouble and the
more enemies he seemed to have.
"A Poor Mans Job
Statements have been persistently
made thru all the years to the ef-
feet that raising sugar beets was not
the kind of occupation for well-to-do
people who wished to raise their
families and educate them and have
them amount to something. 1t has
been persistently stated that it was
a poor mans job, fit only for those
people who have large families and
do not mind making their children
do the work. 1t used to hurt my
feelings to hear men talk that way
about that industry, and yet there
was always more or less proof that
they were right. / have generally
been looking forward to the day
when improved machinery would en-
able men to handle the beet crop as
a mans job instead of as children's
job, and put it on commercial ba-
sis that would be both profitable
and respectable.

of beet growers, when they ,remem-
boring his own experience and fail
ures, listen to what he says about
what the sugar company ought to
pay and what the farmers ought to
have for their beets. | am speaking
now of type of farmer who works
along good lines and to proper pur-
pose, but whose efforts do more
harm than good because OF these
foolish, unsound things that lie says
and does. There are a good many
conservative men in this valley
whose Influence ought to be with
the farmer in the struggle for JUS
tice, in getting the price of beets
fixed where it ought to be in the
division of profits made by tne farm
er and the factory as a whole. But
this agitator type of fellow that |
have been describing drives the best
men out of any such movement.
When they hear that that kind of fell
low is taking prominent part, they
are filled with disgust and distrust
and they stay away. The greatest
favor that such men as this agita-
tor type could do to help the beet
growers to get justice would be to
either sta yaway from the meetings
or to sit in the meeting and keep
still or take moderate part. In
the line of facts brought QUE in the
testimony and the documents intro
duced in the evidence in the feder-
al trade investigation relating to the
operations of the sugar Company, I
have to acknowledge that these
farmers knew more about the truth
of the situation than most of us did,
but / always was wondering how
they found it out. Whenever l have
asked them how they know such
things to be true, according to state
ments they made, they never can tell.
They seem to just draw on their i'm
agination for it, or perhaps I might
better say they draw on their intui-
lion. Intuition is a mighty good
hing to have, but l have noticed
hat these same fellows who have
such far-reaching intuition also
lbuse it or impose upon it, and draw
llso upon their imagination, and |
hereby spill the beans.
They Trapped Us All
This beet question and sugar ques-
ion is such big one and there is
o much coming to light on the sub
ect reflecting upon the integrity of
he sugar manufacturers, | hardly
now what parts of it to bring out
irst. In order to get you acquaint-
d with some of the general condi-
ions, sometimes wander from my

i've you some sidelights on the ques-
ion, and help you to understand why
o many of us have been deceived
r why we have disregarded some
ruths we should have followed up
We have all been interested more

used the same tactics of the big
fellows in the sugar company, that
Mr.. Willett told Havemeyer the big
fellows in the church were using
over the rank and file of the pop
ulation. That is, he made it an OBJ
ject to them to carry out his wishes,
and he showed them where it would
be disadvantage to them not to
act upon his wishes. You remember
he told them he would build a sugar
factory in every town where they
had a factory if they did not sell
stock to him, and that he would
manufacture sugar and sell it at a
profit when they were losing fifty
cents bag? He told them he pos
sessed the information that would
enable him to make sugar cheaper
than they could, so they could not
afford not to have him for a partner
and advisor.
