BEET SUGAR OUTPUT RISES
California, Michigan Account for
Increase, Says Kelly.

A wholesome increase in production
Of beet sugar occurred last year in the
United States, notably in California
and Michigan according to Neil Kelly,
secretary of the United States Beet
Sugar Association. He said the final
output approximated 100000 short
tons, against 1,156,oo0 in 1881 and l.
208,000 In 1880.
The contract-guaranteed price for
beets appealed to farmers, who had
resigned themselves to growing crops
at a loss Mr.. Kelly said, although
prices remained at abnormally low
levels. Farmers received nearly $50
O0,000 for their beets and the indus
try accounted for 100000 jobs he esti
mated. There are more than 100 beet
sugar factories in 18 States, he as
serted.

In this reduction they are being aided
by hotels. Food manufacturers and

expanding their road forces.
From the advertising world comes
word that some of the big corporations
that greatly reduced their "ad' budgets
during 1882 are going to increase them
next year. The manner in which ad-

the country through export channels,
and also because it is the main source
of livelihood for more people than any

Price Recovery Is Brief.
The extent OF the disappointment
over events Of 1882 is measured by the
fact that not only did prices reach the
lowest level In the entire history of
cotton trading when July contracts
touched 49l cents In New York in June,
but during closing weeks Of the year
prices were half a cent or more below
quotations existing when the year be-
gan. At one time a wave of optimism
frightened the horizon, when the trade
hoped that at last an end had been
reached in the long cycle of declining
prices. Weeyil damage and prospects
of materially smaller crop than the
previous one engendered confidence in
the outlook. but this proved short lived.
and 4-cent price recovery was entirely
wiped out by the failure Of world S
financial and trade conditions to i'm
prove.
What has been happening to the
worlds raw material situation Is dis
closed in the wholesale price index.
From 20.86 in 1920 the figure had fallen
to 696 in November. 1882. In other
words, the price of basic commodities
has fallen to only about one-third their
former level. The imperative necessity
OF radical reversal in this downward
movement is shown in the shrinkage
OF returns to cotton growers. In 1929
the value Of a crop of I45OO, 900 bales
was estimated at sl.400,000 900. For a
crop Of about the same size the follow
ing year the return was only $780,
600. 900. Though the South raised the
second largest crop in its history,
amounting to 100000 bales, in 1881
the value had decreased to $500 900 900
The 1882 yield Of l2.727OOO is figured
at about 100000, 600. or barely one

Although a 12-year-old Indian
apolis boys story of being kidnapped
was discredited by Veedersburg
Qnd) police, search was being made
today by state authorities for a
bandit answering the same descrip-

naper.
1t was learned following revela-

answering the description, robbed a
Veedersburg restaurant early Sun
day morning and escaped.
The boy, Raymond Hazelwood. 805
DIN avenue, told Veedersburg po-
lice that he was kidnapped near his
indianapolis home shorty before
noon Wednesday and carried to
Veedersburg in the abductor's car.
Theodore Odle, Veedersburg DO
liceman, said he believed the boys
story was "just an excuse for run
ming around a bit" but that the
child's description of his abductor
tallieS in detail with that of the
bandit.
The boy was returned to Indian
apoliS early today by his father, who
went to Veedersburg Immediately on
being informed his son was there.
Young Hazelwood said he was
seized by the kidnaper, who pulled
to the curb on Livingston avenue
asking if You want to take a ride?"
He put his hand over my mouth
and I couldn't YELL" Raymond Ha-
zelwood related.
