AMERICA’S SWEET TOOT 1.
A report of the Federal Bureau
of Statistics shows that the per
capita consumption of sugar in
this country is 40 pounds per an
num.
About one-tlfth of the world’s
sugar is eaten in this country. In
1909 and 1910 America consumed
3,285,771 tons, while the United
Kingdom trailed second with 1,
790,757 tons, Russia followed
with 1,199,389 tons and Uermany
fourth with 1,117,315.
In 1909-10 the United states
and its possessions produced 1 ,
232,015 of a world total of 8,29 4,
33 4 tons of cane sugar. In the six
years from 190 4 and 1910, the1
European production of beet su
gar increased 8.0 per cent, while
that of this country increased 113
per cent, although its total was
still less Ilian one-lentil that of
Europe.
These facts have an important
bearing in connection with the j
pending tariff bill. The tariff ex- j
action, under hie existing law, j
amounts to about 2 cents a pound j
on sugar, or about 80 cents a year
for every man, woman and child
in America. All of the facts tend j
to show that this tax goes into
the pockets of the refiers and does
not help the sugar grower lo any j
appreciable extent. Why a tax
on sugar?
OIL FUEL IN THE NAVY.
The British admiralty have de
cided lo use oil in lieu of coal as
the fuel lor all t'ulure war con
structions. This is mil a sur
prise to any one I lull lias follow
ed the unmislakable trend of na
val developments. Indeed, I lie
surprise is llial such a decision
for oil's exclusive use has been
delayed so long.
So pronounced is Ihe superior
ity of oil fuel lha| a coal-burn
ing power vessel before1 many
years will lie as archaic as a horse
car. This change gives us an
enormous initial advantage, as
we produce Iwo-I birds of the
world’s output. -Nor are there
any signs of exhaustion, as it
is estimated that the public lands
of California alone can supply,
even if oil be used exclusively for
naval fuel, all probable demands
.. for a century.
LISTEN.
;By George Matthew Adams.)
To Listen is to Learn. Doers
in large affairs take very little
time to talk—but they are always
great Listeners. Anyone may se
cure a liberal education if he will
but take the time to Listen. But
it is imperative that you—
Absorb what you Learn.
Gen. U. S. Grant was not a bril
liant man. He was a failure in
Business. But he set out to be
come Useful. He was gifted with
great determination and dogged
ness. He had Character. And to
day, high above the waters of the
Hudson, alohgside the' beautiful
Riverside Drive . in New York,
stands Grant’s tomb—mute testi
mony to the life and work of
Grant, as Soldier and President.
So wonderful a Listener was he
that while President he became
known as "The Silent President.”
Absorb what you Learn.
To Listen'well is a great ac
complishment. No one shows his
ignorance quicker than the man
who persists in talking without
saying anything. If you have
something to say—say it. If you
have nothing to say—Listen.
Absorb what you Learn.
Select the people to whom you
Listen. Listen with respect and
an open Mind. Give new Ideas,
new Theories and new Programs
a hosrtitable reception. Listen
well.. To you remains the right
to reject what you do not want.
Be always big enough to Listen.
Then—
Absorb what you Learn.
MUSINGS OF THE GENTLE
CYNIC.
Marriage generally demon
strates the difference between the
parental roof and the pay-rental
one.
Women are not all cowards.
They will seldom snow the while
feather—if a black one is more
becoming.
Eontonfment may be better
than riches, but give the average
man riches and he will be con
ten I.
Every cloud may have a silver
lining, hut most of us don't know
enough about aviation to prove it.
The only way to have peace is
!fo wait for the other fellow to be
gin the trouble.
Crumbs <u comfort dim t al
ways materialize from casting our
bread upon the water.
When you feel that you have
(lie world at your feel, he careful
that your foot doesn't slip.
Don't, brag about what you are
going to do tomorrow. Somebody
might ask you what you did yes
terday.
Many a man is pound foolish
who isn’t even penny wise.
In the1 game of life many a wo
man would rather win a diamond
than a heart.
The charity that covers a mul
titude of sins is the kind that be
gins at home.
Many a girl goes to Europe to
complete an education that has
never been begun.
Some people wouldn't enjoy
perfect peace, because then there
wouldn't be anything to kick
about.
When a man is his own worst
enemy, we are apt to wonder why
he doesn't make friends with him
self.
Many a man wouldn’t, mind lin
ing tongue-tied so long as he
could hav.e a free boot.
The spring poet knows all about
verses and reverses.
It takes more courage for a
man to admit that he is wrong
than to insist that be is right.
