Again Cohen Is
AbettOr of
Cupid

There is no gain saying the fact
that Ricardo Cohen didn t secure
his title of Cupid by accident but
by taetful Machiavellism. Every
time he sees couple that would
make god pair for life he just
gravitates naturally their way.
How else could it have happened
on Monday that there were two
betrothed couples looking for some
one to perform the linking-up cere-
mony and no one in FL Centre to
fix things until Ricardo, who fol
lows the course of the stars as a
hobby, got an inkling that there was
something doing among the signs of
the Zodiac.
1t appears that Mateo Nieblas and
Conception Salazar, both of Braw-
ley. were distracted at being unable
to find any public officials operat-
ing on Columbus Day. 1t looked
like honeymoon being delayed
until Ricardo loomed up, and bein g
told of the couple IS distress had
Judge Franklin J. Cole and Deputy
County Clerk Carr so quickly on the
job that the couple wept for joy,
and were speedily wed.
As the judge was leaving for
home to look UP a digest on the
divorce laws of the state, Rosario
Loya and Romano Gutierrez of Cali
patria threw themselves into the
office and demanded. they also be
spliced "muy pronto.' "I told
you l had hunch," said Ricardo,
and the Calipatria pair were ac-
comodated in few minutes and

SOME SUGAR PROFITS

Mothers and their little children
working excessively long hours in the
sugar beet fields of Colorado, Nebras-
ka, Montana and Wyoming are pro-
ducing record profits for the wealthy
owners of Great Western Sugar Co.
The gains of these millionaires for
the year ending February %, 1925,
will run over $13,000000, equivalent
to 800 on the common stock, accord
ing to the estimate of The Wall Street
Journal based on the years produc-
ton and prices.
These profits mean that each of the
100000 hundred pound bags of sug-
ar produced during the year and sold
for $720 will carry a profit of ap-
proximately $3.50 which shows what
the Republican tariff does for one
corporation.
The company's profits for the last
eight years total 56,722,196 after de-
citation and taxes. This has meant
duction of all loses, interest, depre-
over $500 to the common stockhold-
erS.
In the same period the stockhold-
ers will have received dividends total
ing $212 a share, equivalent to 271%
on the average par value of the COM
mon stock. In order to conceal the
magnitude of these profits the par
value has been reduced to $25 by the
distribution of shares for each one
originally held by the owners.
