approximately 10 per cent of the total bread business of the

x -There will never.be a better time than the present to go
out after the first beet sugar factory for Salem
i ( And the farmers themselves could secure a factory.1
,. How could they do this?
: There are two ways; cooperatively, like severaji -factories
have been .established in Ohio, or like the farmers of the
North Platte valley, Nebraska, have just done. These farm
era .organized a campaign, in which they secured pledges for
the growing of 12,000 acres of sugar beets next year, and
15,000 thereafter. They offered these contracts, to the Great
Western Sugar company, with headquarters at 'fDenyr
that company has accepted,'and will have a new factory ready
to take ( -care of the .acreage by beet harvest time next year.
' Jklarin county, Cal., is going after a -Vnewi beet sugar
: -Twanew beett sugar factories are proposed for the Great
Falls district Montana, where experiments. in beet growing
nave been earned on in five sections, like those conducted in
the' Salem district this year.
The Lord Weir interests have just decided to build a
beet sugar f actory , in County- of Fife, Scotland, to cost
$$,000,000, to employ 3750 men in building, and to- employ
2Q0O men m cultivating the crops of beets. '
"The next logical development of the Salem district is a
b6ct sugar factory. It will do more than any other one thing
can do towards pushing our dairying and live stock industries.

WHERE SOME MONEY GOES
; J. '; The number of motor vehicles registered in the United
States during the first six .months ofV this year increased 13.9
per cent oyer the number registered during the same period
lastjreaT. At present there are 17,716,709 of these vehicles
roistered, and 7000 fclassif iei as official and hot registered.
i-,1 The total gross receipts from registration fees,' licenses
and permits; amount to $226,899,709 annually. Of this vast
sum $183,780,371 Iis7appU and

HOW MADGE RUSHED TO TRY
v TO DO WHAT DICKY
. ' . ASKED -
The train, the? last' by which I
could hope to reach the city in
time to get Dicky's evening clothes
to the tailor, chug-chugged Its
noisy4 way out of the station..
f After satisfying myself that
Alfred Durkee was nowhere in
sight. I took a taxi and made all
possible speed to the Durkee home
bargaining with the driver on the
way for a trip to the city, if I
should find that Dicky's suitcases
were still at the-house.
I wondered worriedly If. there
had been Some unexpected hap
pening at the Durkees. But the
worry "eased and changed sudden
ly. f o irritation when, as I ascend
ed the veranda steps after telling
the driver to wait for me, the door
opened suddenly and Leila, regis
tering strong astonishment and re
morseful confusion, flew out to
meet me.
LeUa Didn't Understand.
"Madge!" she exclaimed.
Don't tell me you said
the three-thirty-one , train! I
thought, you meant you changed
pi three-thirty-one. I looked it up
arid there was a change at three-thirty-four,-
so I thought that
must be the train you meant. That
would have brought you'here at
four-forty and Alf meant to meet
you there. Oh I'm so sorry! Has

efficency with which Lillian
Underwood or Katherin Bikkett
would have handled the matter.'

get things twisted. Dicky dubs her
"charmingly inefficient," and the
characterization fits her snugly.
I had been strongly tempted when
she answered the telephone to ask
for; Alfred, that I might be sure
of his meeting the train. But fear

had taken particular pains to
make the train directions minute

two or three times. How she had

"Then that's all right." I said re

I directed the taxi driver to put

a hurried but affectionate adieu tol

as I could without atracting at

had designated.
The tailor eyed me with calm,

stated my errand. J
"Your man say four o'clock,"
he said with an ominous air of fin
