SCHOOL NOTES
; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fourth and fifth grades united
in their patriotic programs for No
vember IL. Superintendent Foster
first explained to the children what
the great war and the armistice
meant to them. The pupils took part
in recitations, dialogues and songs;
but the main part of the program was
given over to two men who have
shown an interest in our schools
Luke e. Meyer and Judge Stewart.
Mr. Meyer told of the first Armistice
day on the battle fields OF France.
where he was then in action. Mr..
Stewards short talk was excellently
adapted to the children. He further
explained the real meaning of the
day, not only in itself, but also as
compared with other national holi-
days.
The seventh and eighth grades gave
a splendid program for Armistice day
last Thursday afternoon. A patriotic
playlette, 1.-THE Boston Tea Party"
was presented by Miss Agnew's group.
Original orations. piano solos and
duets, vocal duets. readings. and
student-body songs were well received
by a large audience Of patrons and
by pupils of the sixth grade. A sixth
grade pupil gave very appropriate
reading. Rev. Parry gave a splendid
address on 1.-The Meaning Of Armi-
stice Day" He pointed out in very
forceful manner that war and its ter
rible devices are not glorious. Some
interesting souvenirs from the battle
fields of France were shown and their
destructive powers explained and
pointed out The pupils seemed
thrilled with the true spirit of pa
triotism as best becomes the observ-
ances of Armistice day.
Armistice day was observed in the
Primary department with a patriotic
program. DR.. Pimlott gave a most
interesting discussion of the meaning
of Armistice day. illustrating his point
very ably by means of a story. Mrs.
Burdick told the story Of the Coming
of the Americans" after which the
department read the poem. Your Flag
and Mine," and even the tiniest young
ster seemed to have got tho true
meaning of Armistice day.

PROTECT BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY

A. e. Carlton, president of the Holly
Sugar Company, Colorado Springs,
Colorado. in discussing the necessity
of tariff to protect the sugar-beet
grower and beet-sugar manufacturer
from killing competition, clinches his
arguments with the following irrefut-
able statements:
'aThe history Of the sugar trade
demonstrates the value, in the matter
OF price control, of our own domestic
supply. II our country were dependent
entirely upon foreign production, we
would soon pay the price fixed by the
foreigners. No greater calamity can
befall the domestic consumer than to
have the sugar supply of the United
States controlled by foreigners, who,
straints SO far as pools and monopolies
are concerned, could control prices,
production and all things that go into
the marketing of this commodity.
For years Germany has paid the
producers a bonus, resulting in the
production Of an export surplus. The
tariff sufficient to guarantee the pro-
duction Of our entire sugar require
ments would appear to be a sound
economic policy for the United States.
1.-THE eastern manufacturer, pro-
tected by a tariff, should remember
that 90 per cent of their business is
domestic, and therefore the beet in
dustry is of importance to them, and
that free sugar does not mean cheap
sugar.
Nearly all of our agricultural COM
modities are produced in excess of
home consumption, and the price is
therefore fixed in the worlds markets
Sugar is one of the few agricultural
commodities that can be protected by
tariff.
Fifty per cent of the beet sugar
companies are today in the hands Of
bankers committees. Their only sal
vation is prompt action by Congress.
The Federal Trades Commission re-
ports issued by the government are
replete with data respecting the beet
sugar industry. Bankers can tell you
of the serious financial conditions of
the companies. The question of pro-
viding money for the present cam
paign has been difficult. Several fac
tories are unable to begin operations,
and many others have found 1t neces-
sary to mortgage their daily produc-
tion."
The time to act is now, not after
our beet-sugar industry has been seri-
ously crippled and we are left at the
mercy Of the foreign producer.

GALLON OF MILK
COSTS 24.1 CENTS
TO BE PRODUCED
Purdue Experts After Investi.
cation Arrive at Con-
clusion on Costs.

LAFAH ETTE, Ind, April =
Production OF one gallon OF milk
on the average farm under present
prices Of feed stuffs and labor costs
PAL cents according to data pre-
pared by c. r. George OF the dairy
extension staff OF Purdue university.
This figure. Mr.. George says, means
that the actual cost Of milk on the
farm is $2.S9 per hundred pounds
without allowing any profit for the
producer.
Extensive investigations for more
than two years in Porter county
show that the production Of a gallon
of milk requires three pounds Of
grain, four pounds of hay. II pounds
of silage, four pounds OF straw. u
ute of horse labor.
Figuring the grain ration costing
$40 per ton. hay $40 per ton. silage
IS, straw SIS, man labor 80 cents, an
hour and horse labor 10 cents an
hour the cost of producing one gal
lon OF milk is as follows; grain
4.5c: hay &c: silaGe 4.Sc; straw Ice;
man labor &C: horse labor &c; over
head cost, including barn. equipment
and other investments. &C making a
total of 241c.
Mr.. George believes that a read
justment Of prices paid the producer
will be- necessary in many commun-
tiles.
TN some parts OF the state" says
Mr. George, producers are not re-
ceiving even enough to cover cost
Of production and besides not max
ing any profit are actually contribut-
ing most Of their labor
"A fair basis would seem that the
farm. or other producer, should re-
ceive 90 percent Of the amount paid
by the consumer for milk. In few
places producers are receiving more
than half and usually in these local
tiles there is a good milk supply"
