A BEET SUGAR FACTORY IS SA1M We Can Grow the Beets and We Can Get the Labor for Thinning and Harvesting-Sugar Comes from the ; Wind That Bloweth Where It Listeth and the Water That Falls in Rain from, Heaven The Family of the sugars ' There is a prospect of securing a beet sugar factory in Salem. This Is' the best place In Oregon for one; Eugene is probably the next best point, with Coryallis, Albany, " Hillsboro, Oregon City, McMInnville, Silverton. Woodburn, following In about that "order And why? Because of the labor problem. The . thinning of sugar beets takes a lot of hand labor; painstaking, back breaking work. The rest, for the most part, 1 is much aided by modern machinery, Salem Is used to finding a lot of labor. In the tending and harvest ing of our tree and busHfrufts and our vegetables and strawber ries and hops. The beets can be grown in all the Willamette valley counties, with sufficient sugar con tent tent to make their production an economically sound proposi tion; with above 12 per cent of sugar content. We have grown In several parts of the valley sugar beets with 25 per cent of sugar content. : Is there danger that we may overdo beet sugar ; production? Hardly. Americans now consume something more than 90 pounds of sugar per capita I And according, to experiments of the United States department of agriculture men doing heavy labor may consume 275 pounds of migar a year without any delJ terious effect that is. our work ers may eat about three times their weight in' sugar annually; though the experts do not say how much a girl doing nothing ought to eat between meals. i The Purest Food i r Pure white sugar is the first and ; greatest contribution of chemistry to the world's dietary. It is a single definite chemical compound, sucrose, and it Is high ly nutritious. It is a simple and pure combination of carbon, hyd rogen and oxygen. Except - the fats, there is no more nutritious food than sugar, pound for. pound, for it contains no water and no waste, j It is therefore the1 quick est . and usually is and ! always should be the cheapest means of supplying bodily energy.' , Asi a Source" of the energy needed Jin our strenuous life sugar ; has no equal. Common sugar is almost an ideal ; food. Cheap,' clean, white, portable, imperishable, unr adulterable.' pleasant tasting, germ free, highly nutritious, com pletely soluble; altogether digest ible, easily assimilable, requires no cooking and leaves no residue.

I were fond of cHectInr tales of f mncn ' wnetner 1 the stories wtere ttru or not so long as they were Interesting. Among the marvels that the Greeks heard from : the Far East two ot ..the strangest I were that in India1 there were I plants that bore .wool without l sheep and reeds that bore honey without bees. These incredible tales turned out to. he true- and in the course of time Europe began to get a little Calico trom Calicut and a kind of edible gravel that the Arabs who brought It cal.ed sukkar." .But course ortly kings and queens could afford tr dress In " calico and have svrar prescribed for them when they were siek-r- ; -: But f ortunatelyf In the course of time the Arabs Invaded Spain and forced upon the unwashed and unwilling inhabitants cf En rope such things of higher ivili- ration as arithmetic and soap and sugar.; Came a time when Great Britain controlled the cane sugar industry of the world, j I Marggrsf, a Berlin ehemUft, had in 1747 discovered that it yas pos sible to extract sugar frdm beets. But there was only a little sugar in the beet root then sc-me-i per cent, and what he got OUV was dirty and bitter. One of his pupils in 1801 set up a beet sugar fac tory in Breslau under the patron age of the king of Prussia,5 but the industry was not a success until Napoleon took it up in 1810. and offered a prize of a million francs pr . a practical process. y France was'shut off from the cstne sugar supply and wanted sugar. i i 'I-.-" . In a comic paper of that day you will find a cartoon f of Xanol eon in the nursery beside Jha cra dle of his son and heir. ( The em peror! is squeezing the Juice of a beet Into his coffee and the nurse has put a beet into the mouth of the Infant king of Rome, saving: "Suck, dearj suck. Your father says it's sugar!" i In like manner did tha wits ridi cule Franklin for ' fooling with electricity, Rumford for trying to improve chimneys, Parmentler for thinking potatoes were (fit, to eat, and Jefferson for believing some thing might be made out of our part of the country that lies west of the Mississippi. j In all ages ridicule has been the chief weapon of conversation. If you want to know what line hu man progress will take in the fu ture, read the funny papers of to day and see what they are fight fng. The satire of every century Jlnpm Aristophafnes to the latest vaudeville has been directed against, those who are; trying to make the Vorld wiser j or better, against the teacher and preacher, the scientistj and the reformer. . j The Sugar Family There is a big family! of sugars. Maple sugar is mostly sucrose. So parny is noney. Nearly every fruit land vegetable has some sug ar, including' carrots, jand even turnips. ' But there is another sugar, corn sugar, that Is not sug ar (sucrose) at all, but glucose, and In the United States we work up 50,000.000 bushels of corn a year into 800,000,00001 pounds of corn syrup, 600,000,000 pounds of starch, 625.000.000 pounds of glu ten feed, 90,000.000 pounds of oil (fo;j,Karo., "Mazola."j etc.), 90. 000.000 pounds of oil cake, and 230,000,000 pounds of corn sugar. which is not sugar, but glueose, and nearly all candies are made uartty from glucose Wad. partly Irom sucrose that Is, from sugar proper and corn sugar; and they are both food.

" Opportunities peculiar to each, different community are found to abound. But few locali ties have been as little exploited as Falls City, and this is one of the strong points urged for justi fying the present invitation of Falls City to the home seekers and new investment seeker to visit it while these wonderful resources and opportunities are still in a virgin state. Oil and mineral deposits are In time exhausted and communities built upon them perish or fall into decay, But such agricultural oppor tunities as exist here in Falls City are enduring. A Falls City walnut grove will in a few years, produce an income that would excite the envy of a Croesus, but It will be as profit able for the' next 200 or 300 years as now. The fruit and berry grower is assurred of an income for himself and heirs into the third and fourth generations, and still going on. ' Within the lifetime of those now living, every acre of land in the 100 square miles of Falls City territory will be worth not less than 1 5 00. and- in the ."mean time it will - have built up fortunes for hundreds of thrifty families.
