Cuba built up a large export busi-
 and French refners In addition,
 the American refners have done .
 large export business in refined
 sugar. They were enabled to do
 this by importing foreign raw sugar,
 chiefly from Cuba. On this, of
 course. they had to pay a duty, but
 this duty under our customs laws
 was refunded to them when the re- fined product made from these for eign raws was exported. Thus in
 practice it became practically "re- lining in transit" proposition. The raw sugar produced in Cuba is car ried on steamers to the. Atlantic coast refners. unloaded, refined and then exported. At times the refined product is exported on the same steamer that brings in the raw ma- terial-
 There are twenty-two large sugar
 refneries in the United States, To- cated in New York, Boston, Phila-
 delphia, Savannah, New Orleans and San Francisco. New York is the big sugar refining center of the country This country can refine ,O0O, 900 tons annually for export
 purposes without sighting the do-
 nestle market, and with this ref1n- .iEg capacity it is important that>w
 hold our export trade. This can be
 done only with the assistance of
 Cuba, the raw sugar producer. None of our domestic sugar, either raw
 or refined, is exported, as on ac-
 count of the tariff it brings higher
 price in the domestic market than
 can be secured abroad.
 Altogether we should export be- tween 100000 and 6O0,0OO long tons
 of sugar annually to some forty or
 fifty countries.
 The proposed Fordney Tariff Bill
 will have a far-reaching effect on
 the status of our sugar supply and
 on the price which the consumer must pay for his sugar. If enacted in it's present form it would make permanent the present Emergency
 Tariff increase of 60 per cent on
 Cuban sugar in spite of the fact
 that the domestic industry pros-
 pered under the rates in force be- fore the passage of the Emergency Tariff
 The result, 1t is confidently. pre- dicted. would work great harm to Cuba's sugar industry; impose an unjust burden on the American consumer; destroy in large measure our growing export trade to Cuba; and make impossible the collection of several hundred million dollars due our banks and exporters which cannot be collected unless tha Cuban sugar business prospers-

 Much as they would like to scoff at Wooley there are a whole lot of Rritishers who are afraid that he is right.

A MERICA is the worlds big
 N gest sugar user. Into her tea, coffee, pastries and
 other foods and drinks goes over 20 per cent of the sugar produced in the entire world. Out of the 100000 long tons manu- factured annually by the world at large we Americans consume 4,OOO,- 900 tons. And besides that we ex- port somewhere around a half mil lion tons every year.
 And yet we prodnce within the boundaries of the United States and our territories considerably less than half the sugar we handle EeT1 eiSner for our own use or for shipment to other countries. How does it come about that America, which must import about half the sugar used here, Is also a large ex- porter of that commodity? Where do we get ti:e sugar we can't pro- duce ouj'SelT::s?

RURAL JUSTICE WORKS
 LIKE LIGHTNING
Pennsylvania Community Junks Red Tape And Puts Speed Behind Trials.

Avella, Pa. July 2e-Justice down in Jersey may be tolerably quick, but over here in Washington county, Pa, she's lightning fast. No. siree3 no de- murrers, amended pleadings and the thousand ane one legal schemes to de- lay the game. Calendar cleared so fast out this way that nc night ses- sions are required. Here's a sam pie
 Farmers hereabouts nave an organ ization known as the Washington County Farmers Protective Associa- tion modelled along lines adopted by only here the main object is to keep snooping hunters from blazing away anywhere they please. Horse steal ing is powerful bad stuff in the West, and unauthorized hunting is a good second cousin to the Western crime in this region.
 The other day Charles E. Smith, of Carnegie, Pa, drove down to Wash ingtor county to hunt groundhogs. He chose for the scene of his hunting the farm of R. E. McCague, in Cross Creek Township. McCague, like most other farmers, is member of that Protectice Association. Now, the brothers in that society stick together like molasses, and to expedite justice the members are deputized with the power to arrest.
 ing McCague's. Simpson saw Smith hunting on his neighbours farm. He was harvesting wheat at the time and very busy, but he knew his duty, so he hitched his horses, went over into the adjoining field and accosted Smith. The latter was unable to produce a written permit members of the association issue to those they au- thorize to hunt their premises. Then Simpson arrested Smith. So the rural officer and Smith started for the nearest Justice of the Peace.
 They had not gone far when they met Justice of the Peace Charles M. Rea, who was in a hurry, for hay and grain on his own farm needed atten- tion. Simpson quickly explained the matter in hand and proposed that roadside court be held to hurry up matters for all concerned. Accord ingly the justices buggy was drawn up to one side of the road, the evil dence against the prisoner recounted by Simpsoni plea of guilty and request for 1eniency made by the un- fortunate hunter, and a fine of S5 was assessed for trespa ssing. All this court procedure took but a very few minutes. Smith paid his fine and was released.
 "Giddapl' said Squire Req to his horse, and he was on his way to his hayfield.
 Simpson, his duty done as an off cer, hurried back to his team and neglected wheatfield. Rural justice Slad cut red tape and formally and the majesty of the law had been vindicated.

 Admission is made iby Congressman Fess that his idea of sport and ex- ercise to keep him fit is working in his five-acre truck and flower garden here. When he is home Congressman Tess is up with the sun and at work in his garden. The products of that garden show that he has not lost the art of tilling the soil.
 Born poor farm boy, near Lima, Ohio, he obtained an education by dint of his own efforts. Early in life he participated in the rigorous duties of farm life, learning the habits of early retiring and rising and the sci ence of making the soil productive.
 The Tess garden is famous through out the viciinty of Yellow Springs. Local residents are familiar with the sight of their distinguished fellow citizen at work in his home garden with spade, rake or hoe.

 "Walter one day kissed me and the twins and said he was going away l tried to coax him not to, but it did no good. He took all the money and went away with the girl"
 That his wife was ignorant and incapable of beng a pastors wife, is the declaration made by Culp in a let ter to the superintendent of the con ference in which he preached. She had never been a good wife to him. he claimed This was in spite of the fact that she had borne him nine children.

Mayor Would
 Buy w. & H. Dock
 Property for City

Mayor Fred Atwater favors the pur- chase of the Wheeler & Howes Co. dock on the Pequonnock river be- tween Congress street bridge and the Salts Textile Mills for public use it was learned yesterday. In state ment issued yesterday Mayer Atwater said that he fancied the purchase' of the property by the city.
 He said: "Yes I think it would be a good investment for the city if it could be purchased at a reasonable figure and on easy terms of payment. I feel that Bridgeport should have public dock, commensurate with it's size and importance. The present city dock at the foot of Wall street, owing to the limited frontage and lack of facilities, is not of much use to the city. The Wheeler & Howes dock is entirely equipped with loading and unloading machinery"
 It is probable that the mayor will urge the purchase of the property at the August meeting of the Common Council. The property fronts 661 feet on the Pequonock river; 700 feet on Noble avenue and 200 feet on Ster- ling street. It is being quoted on the market at $20O,00O, but it is believed that this price is subject to negotia- tiOn.

Avoid drafts in the hen house. Adj
NIT all air from one side of the coop.
Have the other sides tight. Feathers
are hens overcoat. They act as an
insulator holding in body heat. They
are a good protection against cold

ARTICLES OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
Edited by Huntmer, County Agent Melrose Minnesota

At each of the special poultry
meetings and poultry culling demon
strations scheduled through the
Farm Bureau Service for N. E. Chap
man, state poultry specialist, in
Stearns County November 22nd-24ts1,
several questions were asked by farm
ers in attendance on poultry house
construction. The Agricultural Engi-
neering Division at the University
Farm furnishes four or five blue
prints of poultry houses adapted to
Minnesota conditions, which can be
had at.10c a blue print. These blue
prints can be secured through the
Farm Bureau Office at Melrose.
The following general suggestions
ION poultry house construction are
given by leila Weigent, well known
poultry specialist: The final test of
the :len house is egg yield. The hen
house should be clean and, no matter
how expensive poultry house is,it 81
not a real hen house unless it is kept
clean. Disease and vermin thrive in
filth. Houses should be planned so
that they will be easy to clean. Put
in good floors, and have dropping
boards, hinged roosts, and nests thai
are easily cleaned. Make sure there
are no cracks or crevices to afford
hiding places for mites. Sunlight is
the best germ destroyer in the world
Hens require from two and half
to three times as much air per weight
as horses, cows or other farm animals.
This is because they maintain a high
temperature, LOG to 108 degrees. 1t
takes air and food to keep up this
high temperature. -
