that women are to wear their own

Corset manufacturers also have
cause for viewing with alarm the
tendency toward the abandonment

men who would look like barrels

GOVERNORS FAVOR HARMON
Gov. Smith of Georgia Among Those
Who Look to Ohio Man to Lead
Democrats to Victory.

SPRING LAKE, N. J.-Governor
and United States Senator-elect
Hoke Smith of Georgia, before leav-
ing the conference of governors for
home today, announced the next
democratic national ticket as Har-
mon of Ohio and Wilson of New Jer-
sey for president and vice-president
respectively
The burden of the thought of Gov
ernor Smith was that the meeting
of governors perhaps has resulted in
solution of the democratic situa-
ton. Many of the democratic gov
errors present at the conference dis
cussed the situation, and from the
statement of Governor Smith it is
believed that some secret agreement
has been reached.
Harmon and Wilson" said Gov
ernor Smith; wouldn't that ticket
sweep the country?" and he made it
as a declaration, not as question.
Harmon is a strong man." he
continued, 'and he is in line with
the best and most progressive, not
the most radical thought"

PEOPLE DRIVEN FROM HOME
Crosses of Sticks and Pictures of the
Madonna Fail to Check the Flow
of Mt. Etna's Flaming Lava.


CATANIA Sicily.-The river of
lava from Mount Etna is still ad-
vancing, sweeping all before it.
Thousands of people have been driv-
en- from home.
Hoping to arrest the advance of
the flaming lava the peasants erect
before their vineyards and humble
homes a cross of sticks and place
on top pictures of the Madonna and
the saints, butthese barriers of faith
have in no wise tended to check the
flow.
Crowds of peasants gather to
kneel and pat their breasts, calling
for mercy and declaring that this
rust be punishment for their sins.
Mr.. Arista, bishop of Acireale, has
gone to the front to encourage the
faithful, to conduct services, lead
the professions and impart a bene-
diction on the people.
The house of Giuseppe Rampolla,
a relative of Cardinal Rampolla, has
been overwhelmed by the lava,
which is expected soon to enter the
Alcantara river. Three thousand
years ago the lava from Mount Etna
swept into the same river, the bed of
which is now sixty feet deep. The

FAMILY WALKING TO TEXAS
LAWYER AND WIFE WITH FIVE
SMALL CHILDREN.
Queer Procession Leaves New York
City to Seek New Home in
the BOundIess West.

Queer Procession Leaves New York
City to Seek New Home in
the BoundIess West.
That was queer procession which
arrived in Rochester the other day
when a family of seven halted at the
office of Mayor Edgerton while on
their long walk from New York city
to Texas. 1t consisted of MIR. and
Mrs. M. G. Butterfeld and their five
children, the youngest only 20
months old. They desired to have
their names taken at the mayor S
office and to get permit to sell post
cards in aid of their expenses along
the way towards the Lone Star state.
Mrs. Butterfeld, who was cheerful
and looked the picture of health,
explained the reason for their max
ing the long and tiresome trip. She
said it took a great deal of determi-
nation to leave the metropolis with
three children in a baby carriage and
two walking with their parents.
1--WE want to demonstrate" said
Mrs Butterfield, that families with
out any great amount of money may
get out of the congested districts if
they have the courage. My husband
was not well and had not been for
some time before we left. We de-
cided that we must get out into the
open country. Mr.. Butterfeld is a
lawyer and had offices on Broadway.
He seemed gradually to break down
under the strain of work.
I'VE left New York May II with
$3.50. We made our way to Hyde
Park, walking about seven miles a
day, I sold busting caps on the
way. When we reached the Albany
section my husband worked in the
nay fields. At times I picked cher
rles. Some business men in Albany
who became interested in us suggest
Gu Unat we nave some post cafuS
printed so that we could sell them,
and this we are now doing.
We are going to Texas, where we
VIII establish a home on a farm. We
are going to make producers out of
our children instead of non-produc-
ers, as they would be if they remain
cd in New York. My husbands
health has greatly improved since
We left New York. He became amaze
mic there, but now he seems to be
male and hearty as result of the

FACTS ABOUT SUGAR FAMINE
SWEETENING GIVES COST OF
LIVING ANOTHER BIG BOOST.
Refineries Have Little Stock on
Hand, and 1t Is Impossible to Get
Amy of European Surplus.

Amy of European Surplus.
WASHINGTON.-This country is
facing the most serious sugar fam
inc in years. Reineries have practi-
cally no stock on hand and find it
impossible to secure any of the big
European surplus they counted on.
The fall crop of the United States
threatens to show serious shortage
compared with previous years.
The price of sugar has been going
up steadily for months-it has risen
l Il cents pound in the last few
weeks-and the fall production will
not only not bring drop in prices,
but may be responsible for contin-
uation of the rise.
| This is the situation as summed
up by sugar experts in the depart
ment of agriculture after receiving
| the field reports from all sugar
growing sections of this country, re-
ports on the present condition of the
market and estimates on the amount
of sugar now held in stock by the
various refneries.
Little Stock on Hand.
| 1t is estimated that at present the
total stock in refneries and ware
houses is less than $4,000 tons.
This will have to meet the demand
in this country for several weeks,
and then the first of the finished
product of next years supply will be
in eager demand. Because of the
scarcity of sugar authoritative esti-
mates predict this years consump-
ton will show diminution Of 1918
tons in North America in 1910. AS
the consumption is believed to have
increased in Canada and held it's own
in Mexico the diminution for the
United States alone is supposed to be
much greater.
In 1910, it was estimated, Europe
faced a surplus production of about
100000 tons of sugar refined. This
surplus, it was expected, would be
cared for largely by the United
States. Only about &c per cent of
the total amount of sugar consumed
in this country in previous years
has been raised here Much has
been brought in from Cuba, Hawaii
and Porto Rico, and Europe has un-
loaded a large part of her annual
surplus at our doors.
Therefore the action of Europe
in Withholding a large part of the
amount usually shipped to this coun-
try, unnOticed until the refners had
practically exhausted their stock on
hand, left the American merchants
in bad shape
