conference refused to penalize Brazil
ian sugars, more through the action
and influence of the Brazilian and Brit
ish representatives than otherwise The
United States has become very inde-
pendent of Brazilian sugars, and the
Brazilian sugar interests at the present
time are in position where they will
be compelled to cultivate European
markets or else take what the sugar
trade OF the United States is ready to
give for the Brazilian product.
Advices from Pernambuco indicate
that the sugar business is in a de-
moralized condition. The total entries
at that port for the nine months from
September to June were 1,925,s96 as
compared with 1,419,164 in the same
period the year before. 1t is stated In
trade reports that q million bags OF the
crop will not come to market. the
canes being allowed to remain in the
fields as not worth the cutting and
handling. The weather has been good
for the growing crop. The consump-
ton of sugar from the Brazilian mar
kets shows increases IN every country
but the United States, where there was
no increase up to the end of April.

Boys Of Bradford Aid in

IN q letter to the American Civic
Association. Rev. r. S. Keilerman.
president of the Civic Improvement
Club of Bradford, Pa, tells this in
teresting story:
The Bradford Idea of interesting
children. especially boys. in municipal
matters. started on one OF the unpaved
streets OF the city. The president Of
the Civic Improvement Club went out
personally with a rake and began to
clean up the rubbish. A neighbor boy
saw him and came out with his lake.
Then others came out. The president
asked one. OF the boys IL he had a
mattock or pick, saying that tho
stones that stuck up ought to be Eot
out There were five boys out at this
suggestion with picks and rakes work
Ing and sweating like Trojans. In a
day or two the street was cleaned up
nicely. The city teams came and
carted the rubbish off. When 1t was
all completed the president wrote an
account of it, including In 1t the names
of the five boys, and 1t was published
In the daily papers.
From this one example the thing
has spread to other parts OF the city.
The president reports all new work,
including the names of the boys. and
gives 1t to the press, which is glad to
get 1t, and seconds every move that Is
made. Observation shows that boys
like to do things and like to see
their names in print They will re-
spond If suitable calls are made on
them. Naturally active, they viii turn
their talents to good accounts in public
