In large experience of business wo men I have known very few who di, not gladly do what they could to hell in training a young girl who was jus starting out to make her living. have known very few who were not al ways on the watch to help some othe girl get a better place, and I havl hardly known a case of a girl fallini sick or losing her job where the wo men among whom she worked did no dig down into their thin purses ant help her out.
 Of course, women talk about each other. The gossip. They repeat scandal. They are envious and jealous and selfish, and they fight for the thing they want, particularly when that thing is a man.
 But that is just being human. Women do not criticize each other any more than men do. Just as many men call each other liars and windbags as women call attention to some sister woman's complexion having come out of the drug store, and her age being a tarrididdle. Men grab the prizes they covet from each other if they can, and when it comes to the woman they desire it is each man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost.

More than that, men are fair weather friends to women. A man may have very honest platonic affection for a woman, and as long as she is we'll and gay and bright and entertaining and interested in him and his affairs, he will camp of an evening in her living room, and be glad to do her any little kindly service he can.
 But let the woman meet with mis, fortune. Let her become sickly and poor and bedragged, a fountain of tears and a hard.luck record, and the man will flee from her as he would from a pest, and threaten to fire any office boy who lets her get past his door. He is willing to send her q check in the name of friendship, but he will not give her the friendship that means per- sonal sacrifice.
 It is the woman friend, not the man friend, who goes to woman when she is down and out, who lets her weep out her misery on her breast, and listen with the patience of Job while the self. centered afflicted one recites for the millionth time her litany of woes.

ALL EUROPE TRYING TO
INCREASE SUGAR OUTPUT

New York, Sept. IA. e. Carlton
of Colorado Springs, Colorado, presi'
dent of the Holly Sugar Corporation,
returned recently from two months
trip to Europe. In a interview with
Facts About Sugar" Mr.. Carlton
stated that from present indications
this years European sugar crop would
be much the largest produced since
the war and should be 100000 tons
greater than last years output.
Every European nation" said Mr..
Carlton" is trying its utmost to pro-
duce from its own soil alr the sugar
required by its people and II possible
to become an exporter. There are two
main reasons for this policy. One is
the desire of these countries to i'm
prove their commercial position by
buying less from abroad and selling
more. The other is the necessity
which they feel of improving agricul-
tural conditions.
THE war gave European. agricul-
ture a setback from which 1t has not
yet recovered. All classes over there
understand that sugar beets are one
of the most valuable crops they can
grow because the production of sugar
takes no valuable elements away from
the soil while beets increase the yield
of all subsequent crops grown in ro-
tation with them. Consequently they
are anxious to expand the acreage
devoted to this crop as much as possi-
BILE
"A most striking example of this
is the policy adopted by the labor
government OF Great Britain in pro
posing a direct bounty equal to over
four cents pound on all sugar grown
in Great Britain. The reasons given
are that they desire to provide en-
ployment and to restore British agri-
culture to the prosperity that 1t form
erly enjoyed.
THE United States has its own
agricultural problem. We are produ-
cling too much OF certain crops, for
the surplus OF which we cannot find
a ready market in the worlds present
financial state. At the same time we
are spending hundreds OF millions OF
dollars n year for other products. OF
which sugar is the most noteworthy
example. that we could grow at home.
Our rich soils have been depleted by
the one crop system. We need di.
versification and the greatest possible
utilization OF the home market No

can agriculture. the foundation Of

DRILLING PROGRESS
ON CITY WELL
After Weeks Delay Drilling
Operations Are Again
Resumed-Down
400 Feet

After weeks delay drilling op-
erations were under full swing at the
city well last Thursday. The driller
has experienced some hard luck late
ly. at first he lost the drilling tool
and in trying to recover it lost the
fishing tool. This accident was oc-
casioned by the fact that they were
in the lava and it is particularly diff
ficult to penetrate a strata of lava
without breaking the cable unless it
is kept particulrly tense at all times.
However both tools were recovered
last Thursday and drilling was inn
resumed.
On Monday of this week the well
was down 400 feet and progress was
being made at the rate of approx
mately forty feet every twenty-four
hours, two shifts being worked. The
drill is still in the lava flow but suf-
ficient water is in the well for the
operation of the drill
