"President "Coolidge has let ft be known that he will, take no
action on the report of the Tariff Commission on sugar. This means
that ''the adequate protection accorded our
including those of Hawaii and Porto Rico, is
for in the tariff of 1922. Apropos If hot because of this determina
tion, we learn that along the line of the Great Northern railway there
will be erected this year at a cost 'of $5,250,000 four additional beet
sugar refineries in time to handle the 1925 ropj!-.' jif . ';"
i "Last year in the territory named! the beet sugar acreage totaled
28,500, and this year is expected to produce a

record crop. Minnesota
that an addition of four
more should mean a greatly increased crop of sugar beets. It is
stated that last summer the farmers :averaged $41 per acre in the
cultivation of sugar beets a reasonable return. ; Without the pro
tection provided in the existing taViff jit is unlikely that there would
be any considerable sugar beet production, and certainly it would fall
far short of what It was last year Under adequate protection.1 I
"We need a large increase in Sugar beet jproductlon in the United
States, and the way to obtain it to to maintain adequate protection for
the industry, as President Coolidge seems disposed to do." i I . i i ,i
'The American Economist, from the current issue of
which the above is taken, is th4 official organ of the American
Vrntvotivt Tariff TaoTie. and it is entirely correct in ; the
statement that without the pfotebtion provided in the exist-
in tariff it would be unlikely; that there would be any con
siderable beet production ! i 1 ! !
And the fact is "that there would be none at all within a
very few years if the protective duties were taken off, or even
reduced' (' ;' -"'"' '. if i'ivi j 1 if ilKf! ' -if
And a reduction was being sought through findings of
the Tariff Commission, on showings made by the agents of
the Wall Street owners of the Atlantic seaboard refineries,
which same Wall Street interests also are getting "control of
the cane sugar plantations and su; jar lands of Cuba, j j A '
i These people were asking; that such? findings be made in
order that President Coolidge mig it exercise his power under
the elastic provisions of the present tariff law, allowing the
raising or lowering of a ratejas much las 50 per cent,' upon
such a showing, at the option! of the President. 1 The sugar
trust of course wanted a lowe rate, on raw sugars.: , ,
It is good news that President Coolidge has let it be
known that he will take no action on the report of the Tariff
Commission - - 1 j jr!'-'i ij H
And it was a divided report 'any way
The United States must become self contained in the
production of sugar I "''. J-rl' ' I Ml!.lifr! v-, .
And this can be done by keeping the present rates of
duty and encouraging sugar bfcet growing and manuf acturing
in all the states adapted to this industry. I 1 j !
This will mean a beet sugar factory in Salem, and then
one or two more, and a factory or two in all thk large Wil
lamette valley towns. 'H'-Ji u' I ' j ij '.Jljl'T
, The more beet sugar, factories j we get in j the United
States, and cane sugar factories too, the more certain will it
become that the Wall Street! refining trust will not get a
reduction of the tariff rates. There were 250,000 farmers in
the United States raising sugar beets last year. It would
take a million more such farmers to make the United States
self, contained, even on this jfearfs basis--fand our consump
tion is increasing rapidly; anil 1,250,000 farmers would be a
mighty power to keep our country straight on the protective
tariff on sugar.
(Of course, the writer in
the! American Economist knows
that beet sugar factories are not strictly refineries. ; The fac
tories that refine the raw cane product are the refineries, as
the trade knows them. The! beet sugar factories are called
factories, not refineries, m the sugar trade.)

The time should not be far away when the producers will
sell all their staple products in this way, but in order to make
a success of this or any other plan of cooperation there must
be enough of any crop grown, whether it be livestock, grain,
or vegetables, within the organization area to encourage the
market. Increased efforts to select certain crops .for em
phasis must be made in order that there may be shipments
large enough to make it an object for shipment. There must
also be standard grading and judicious advertising, especial
ly within the field where distribution, is proposed.
I Another factor in the success of cooperation is that the
producers, must be loyal to their organization. They, must
all work, unitedly for the same, end to make profitable
returns on their labor and investments.

CHAPTER 426
STRANGE ENCOUNTER
MADGE AND MRS. DUR
KEE HAD AT LUNCH. I
- t '. . ' v
Madge Graham! What do you
mean by coming into the city and
not stopping off at our house?"
Little Mrs. Durkee achieved a
pretty and plausible pout, as she
bent- over me, and regardless of
the amused diners around us,
kissed me warmly. I have never
seen Her Fluffiness without the
tribute of amused but admiring.
even! tender, smiles from the wit
nesses of her charming inconse
quential little ways.
"It's a long story." I said sig
nificantly, "and this is hardly the
place to tell it. Have luncheon
with' me now, and then we'll take
a taxi through Central Park and
talk."
Her mignonne face, and child
like, father elfish eyes, gleamed
comprehension.
"I saw the papers, of course
she said In a low voice, "and I've
been dying to- "
"You Can't Mistake Her."
"Please bring my service here,!
she! broke off to the waitress,
with a smile which brought an
answering one ; into the rather
sombre eyes of the girl. v
VTell me, . is everything all
right?" she went on anxiously.
"Have you seen Dicky?":
"Yes, to both questions." 1
smiled. "But . I warn you that
we're going to talk about the
weather until this luncheon is end
ed." ' And hold her to that and kind
red innocuous topics I did until we
had almost finished our luncheon,
when she lowered her voice al
most to a whisper, leaning across
the table as she spoke. ''
"Madge, I believe there's, a
woman who knows you at a table
down the room a little ways. She's
a stunning looking creature, as
far as clothes and figure go, al
though you can see hardly 1 any
thing of her face because of one
of those harem veils the ultras are
wearing. But she's certainly been
watching you. I want you to see
if she reminds you of anybody.
Quick, she's 'paying her bill now,
and you can look at her' without
her seeing. Third j table behind
you on your right you can't mis
take her."
I turnd my head and took a
quick furtive glance. As I did so

SUCCESS IN COOPERATIVE MARKETING
I That farmers cooperative organizations can be made a
success is shown by the accomplishments of the cooperative
livestock commission operating in Chicago with branches m
other livestock centers.
This commission handled
sheep, and hogs last year for the farmers of the country.
The total price of these sales was about $250,000,000 (during
the year and the terminal Savings to j the producers were
nearly $1,000,000 or approximately twenty-five per cent of
the old commissions paid for the same amount of sales. Sure
ly this is cooperation which commencls Itself to the various
Dhases of industrv in which the farmers are emraeed.
Methods under which these cooperative marketing organ-
do not differ iereatly ; from those of other

the woman lifted her head, and
her eyes met mine, but -only -for
a second, as she turned 'away at
once. But that flashing Instant
bad been enough to turn me sick
with dread. Surely myj memory
was not at fault. Those (lustrous,
gleaming eyes belonged to no
woman bjxt Grace Draper. , . ;.
Tell Me About Dicky."
I turned back to Mrs. Durkee,
pulling myself together with : a
mighty effort. She was looking
at me in frightened fashion, her
face paling, even under the rather
dainty make-up with which she
defies the ravages of the advanc
ing .years. ?
You';see it, too," she breathed.
"Oh! Madge, what shall we do?"
.'Do? Nothing, Just now," I re
turned with a carelesness I de
voutly wished that I could feel.
"We'll just wait here until we're
sure sh4's gone, then go down the
other elevator, and through the
tunnel to the hotel j .where we'll
get a taxi.; Besides, we're neither
of us really sure that it is she.";
"I wish I had nerves like yours,
Madge," Mrs. Durkee sighed. "I'm

caught by something in her eyes
and the contour of her face. She
did not look as well as usual, I de
cided, and she was patently very
nervous. j -
"There'si nothing to be nervous
about," . I said calmly. "Even- if
she Is the person we think, she's
probably afraid that we'll recog
nize her. Remember, she's a fu
gitive, with a metaphorical hand
reaching for her shoulder all the
time." :'
"She ought to have been hang
ed;long ago," Mrs. Durkee replied
with a vicious little click of her
teeth, and she made no other ob
servation until we were safely in
a taxi, driving up Fifth avenue.
"Well, whoever she was, wev
dodged her!" she said In a relieved
voice. "Ndw tell me everything-
about Dicky. I could wring his
neck for getting his name in the.
papers that way." ..
"It really wasn't anything
much,", I said, for not even to so
tried an old friend as little Mrs.
Durkee could I reveal anything
more of Dicky's escapade than was
already known. Then I gave her
the version which I- had given to
the reporters, adding causually:
"Indeed, she's with me now In
the city. I Would you like to go up
with me and see her?"

t Before this cooperative agencyl became effective, the
individual shipper or the local livestock Shippers association
were entirely at the mercy of the speculators or manipulators
who controlled the markets. Shippers were charged large
amounts for feed which did not always reach the stock.
Some commission houses were in league with speculators and
carload lots were unloaded to the speculator at prices con
siderably below the market.! They were then resold and the
gain from thia transaction was; divided between tfie specula
tors and ths commission houses. There were numerous
T IS probably true that the greatest Buffering of Christ was in the
garden. Matthew, Mark and Luke give the story of the garden in
more detail than John does. It might be well to read in this connec
tion, Luke 22:39-62. The burden of sorrow, that rested on the heart
of the Master in that hour, rejected by His people, left alone by His
disciples, denied and betrayed; and added to that the far greater
burden of the sin of the world; was enough to cause the anguish that
brought the great beads of sweat to his brow, like drops of blood.
The bitterness ot the cup, the wormwood and the gall, wrung from
Him the cry of anguish to the Father. Yet he held true to His mis
sion. He submitted to the Father's will. The flesh shrank from the
awful agony, but the Spirit of the Master-could not be1 overwhelmed.
The mob seixed and bound Him, just like the work of cowards. A
hundred men against one; pre-Judged, condemned, to be punished
for no reason but their own wickedness. ' Men are not much different

THE BELICH0N OF JESUS
D
1 rCoDyrieht. 1925, by San Jase Mercury) i
It. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK, preaching recently in the
First ! Presbyterian church of New York, -declared that
"AtnititiirlAft of Christians have not the religion of Jesus, but
only the religion about Jesus' and that "the religion about .
Jesus tends to crowd out, smother and destroy the religion of
Jesus." '-Christianity today has largely left the religion which.,
He preached, taught and lived, and has substituted another kind ;
of religion altogether." , 1
In the above quoted statements, Dr. Fosdick has told but half
the truth, j A study of the history of Christianity will reveal to
the student who wilt read it with an open mind that few if any
of the race have ever risen to even an adequate conception of the
religion of Jesus, to say nothing about becoming IDs true fol
lowers ; that few have ever become. Christians according to His
standard, f Jesus' life and message came to a world sunk in ig
norance, superstitution and idolotry of one form or another.
What wonder that sueh a world, instead of rising at once to a
true comprehension of the message which His teaching and life
brought to! men, should merely enlarge their field of superstition
to embrace Jesus and His life ?
In the beginning of the Christian era those who embraced
Christianity sought to transfer their allegiance from their pagan
gods to the one true and onlj God and turned from their pagans
teachers td those who professed to be able to lead them to Christ
and His religion. This was, of course, a great religious advance,
but in making it the people whb embraced the new religion did
not by that step get entirely rid of their old ideas of God and
His government: and of their ignorance and superstitions. Al
though the people of the world have greatly advanced in knowl
edge since! that day and have developed in every way, many of
the old superstitions and errors still persist and are firmly held
by many modern Christians. There is na doubt, however, that
today the j so-called Christian world is freer from superstition
than any part of the world has ever been before.
The truth of most, if not all of the above assertions, Drv Fos
dick would doubtless admit. . The whole truth is that it is not in.
these modern days that men have "substituted -a religion about
Jesus for the religion of Jesus." This substitution was made
when in the beginnings of Christianity men thought they were
embracing it. Only in these modern days have some men emerg
ed from their ignorance and superstition sufficiently to under
stand that the religion of Jesus is not HU religion at all unless it
is lived. What we may think or say or believe about Him s of
comparatively very little importance that we manifest His spirit
and bring our lives into harmony with His teachings and life.
Nowhere in any of the Gospels can there be found any record
of so much as an illusion to Adam and Eve or the Garden of
Eden story in Genesis. Not a word about the fall of man by
his partakings of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and
evil. There cannot be found anywhere in the Gospejs a . word,
sign or hint that there is or ever was any necessity for the shed
ding of blood in order to appease the wrath or satisfy the law or -demands
of the God of love of whom Jesus preached and whom
by His life He. revealed to men. j
If the dogmas built upon these things are so tremendously im
portant as the old theologians would have us believe, is it not
reasonable to suppose that they would have been clearly set out
in Has Message to us and their importance strongly emphasized T
No other reasonable conclusion is possible than that these old
dogmas are no part of Christianity as He preached and exempli
fied it, but that they are of the brutal and superstitious rem-

It is beginning to dawn upon some of the people Of the world
that Jesus came not to save men from the wrath of God,, not to
redeem them from Satan or from the fires of a hell in the world
to come; but that lie came to save them from themselves, to free
them from slavery to their own passions, appetites and animal
propensities here or. wherever, they are. He came as He him
self says 'that men might have life and thatUhey might nave it
more abundantly." He came to help men to substitute His life
of righteousness, harmony, peace, power an dheaven for the ?
mere animal existence which most of theTeople of the World
have called life as a substitute for an existence of sin and ignor
ance, bringing with it all the suffering, brutality, strife and degradation-which
have thus far made up so much of the history
of mankind. L '
When it dawns upon the world that God has tevealed to His
children ithis perfect life to help them to live it even as He ex
emplified and lived it, they, may then begin to understand that
anything that dos not help them to live it is of slight value.
They may then possibly stop their quarrelings about dogmas and
creeds, which are only manifestations of the same propensity
that through the centuries have made men war, fight and kill
each other, and in His charity and love go about helping eacbJ
other and the world to attain Hia spirit. x
May the world soon come to know that not sacrifices nor
beliefs in dogmas and creeds nor formation nor ritualism; can
satisfy the spiritual law of our beings, but that love His love
enthroned in our hearts is the fulfilling of the law of God in us ;
that His spirit dominating our thoughts, ambitions, conduct and
lives .will bring to us the kingdom of heaven and ucher u sintor
the very, presence of God here ia thh present world and every-
