The only conclusion to be drawn is that Horck was mentally wrong; that his ideas of life were unsound and that his feeling for the woman who is the mother of his three children never was anything but brutal. The dead woman was good looking, came from ail excellent family, and bore her cross in living with a demon just , as many women do. But the horrible ending of an energetic woman is too tragic for contemplation. ; The cause of jealousy has been advanced and there may' be some foundation for that belief, but behind it all the prime cause of the crime was a mentally unbalanced man "honeycombed with streak after streak of pure cussed nesev which finally focused in the double murder. . Relatives of tho dead woman' were in La Grande yen-'' ,terday. They are excellent people-r-the kind thit make American homes, and live with respect and admiration of theif neighbors Vtna''Ksso'mtes.''''Th"e'marnage'or fjio'gii'f j to . Horck. was one of those fatal mistakes mid hoc desire W Continue her married life, unpleasant us it mur.t have I been, rather than seek again the parental roof brought her not only untimely death but a most horrible one.

Rolse illy will f ; The Sugar Consumption i. Judging from the case. of sugar, it is a reasonable con clusion that Americans will have what they wan when they want it without much consideraion or price. Facts About Sugar, a trade journal of the sugar industry, is authority tor the' statement that in the first six months of this year jthiS country consumed- 6,247,000,000 pounds of the sweet. Unmakes an-' average of about 56 pounds for every man, .Woman; and child in the United States, a little more than , two pounds a week per persons. i . : ,- In 1922 the average for tho first six months was about I! pounds less than in the similar period of 1921, but the flatter was about 2 pounds more each person, on the aver-! ;i.ge,consumed in the first half of last year.

The soft drink industry, which has had a gigantic growth in the last few years, consumes enormous quanti ties, of sugar. In the curing of meats thousands of tons tire used annually. Numerous industries whoso products1 never enter the mouths of any -'person cannot get along without sugar. v But sugar is eaten many times without, the consumer suspecting its presence in particular foods that would be unpalatable without it. A large part of the verage of .more than two pounds a week consumed by every Ameri can is taken unwittingly, though it contributes to satisfy ing the demand of tho nation's sweet tooth.
