RESIDENT FOREIGNERS BUY BONDS.
It was not American citizens alone who subscribed to
Liberty Loan Bonds. A great number of citizens of other
nations living here, who have never taken out naturaliza
tion papers, subscribed liberally to the bonds. The In
ternational Nickel Company at its Bayonne plant has
nearly two thousand foreigners in its employ and those
foreigners purchased more than one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars of Liberty Loan Bonds.
Jt has been noted, too, that American cities with large
populations of foreign birth were notably liberal in their
subscriptions to the Liberty Loan.
Now that our soldiers are actually in Prance, and our
people familiar as never before with the details of Govern
ment bond issues, the next issue of Liberty Ixan Bonds
will receive undoubtedly an even more enthusiastic sup
port than its predecessor.
O
WOM EN IN THE WA R.
After all -when you search for the mainsprings of action
in a man's life, you must seek for the woman. The French
proverb "Seek' the Woman" has gone into history. So
it i.i in the war that the women must be for it heart and
soul if a nation is to win. No nation ever won a war which
the women opposed, or resisted, or sulked in. It was
with great pleasure that we heard Mr. Frederic Coleman
pay a tribute to the French and English women last night
m lu's lecture before the Press Club and their guests. It
was inspiring to hear of the sacrifices, of the whole
hearted devotion of the women to country, of their rigid
determination that their country must win, even if they,
had to give up all. We are too near to the war now to
see -learly, but through the mists we can see many things
which are ennobling, inspiring and elevating, and the su
preme thing to our mind is the consecration of the women
to their country's service. This it is which enheartens
the ui'Ji in the trenches, and drives them to noble deeds of
heroism and self-sacrifice. It makes them supermen.
O
We must finance our men who are, fighting in France.

"I'm not trying to catch it," the
neighbor replied between pants. "I'm

observed Waldron to himself. "I've

(By Kenneth Gilbert. These articles are reprinted from the "Business

Help to Create a Pay Roll in the Community It Pays Good Dividends.
A farmer who pays some attention to the economics of his calling will
undoubtedly agree that if, by devoting a few acres of his farm to a certain
kind i-f crop, it will result in creating a pay roll, buidling up the community,
and thus tend to simplifying his marketing problems, he would gladly plant
part of his acreage to Buch a crop. This being true, there is no reason why
all farmeis in the vicinity of a beet sugar factory should not do their share
by raising a crop of sugar beets each year.
Produc'ng sugar beets in this country has proved a profitable enterprise,
where it has been properly conducted. The industry has grown steadily from
a production of 1M9 tons in 18t5 to a production of 722,000 tons in 1915.
The 1916 figures will undoubtedly .show a large increase, and it is certain
that the output will be tremendously larger this year. The production has
grown 200 per cent during the past decade.
Tno. growing of sugar beets, as an agricultural enterprise has certain
important secondary advantages. The crop fits most excellently into a
rotation system with alfalfa or clover and grain. The necessity for thorough
cultivation and the keeping down of weeds, brings the soil into a most ex
cellcu physical condition, weeds gradually being eliminated from the tract.
In some of the irrigated diitricts of Washington, the alfalfa fields have run
down until they aro badly choked with weeds, especially cheat. Converting
theso lnndn into sugar beet fields for a few years will restore the land to
an cxceilinl agricultural condition. It sould be bom in mind in this con
nection that sugar beets require good soil; it would be folly to attempt to grow
them upon poor land.
Suirnr beet culture has another advantage, especially in the irrigated
districts, rnd that is, tho resistance of agricultural crops to this soil condi
tion. The sugar beet is a close relation, botanically, to the salt bush, the
native plant of the alkali flats.
