SUGAR CONSUMPTION
is GROWING GREATER

mental United States, production in
noncontiguous territories, and i'm
ports from foreign countries ex-
ceeds that of any earlier year, while
the quantity exported was smaller
than in the immediate preceding
year.
The import valuation of sugar
brought from foreign countries in
1911 was, speaking in round terms,
ninety million dollars; from the nom
contiguous territories, seventy-eight
million; and the estimated value of
that produced in continental United
States, ninety million dollars. The
Bureau of Statistics estimates the
duty paid on sugar imported from
foreign countries in 1911 Il fifty mil
lion dollars.
One striking fact which comes to
the surface in this study Of sugar
consumption in the United States is

and growth in production of cane and
of beet sugar respectively, While
exact figures of domestic production
in 1911 have not yet been completed,
the latest and best available estimate
puts the production of beet sugar
respectively. While exact figures OF
domestic production in 1911 have not
yet been completed, the latest and
best available estimate puts the pro-
duction of beet sugar at 1,105 million
pounds and that of can esugar at 700
million pounds, the production of beet
sugar thus exceeding that of cane by
more than fifty per cent. Prior 10
1907 the production of beet sugar was
never as great as that of cane suear
TN 19Oy the quantity of beet sugar
produced was less than one-third thai

JUDGE LYNCH RUNS
FOR SECOND Term
Official Announcement of His
Candidacy to Appear in
Near Future.

The many friends OF Judge
Charles W. Lynch In Harrison and
Lewis counties believe that if there
is anything in lone good term de-
serves another" the voters Of his
circuit will grant him an oppor-
tunity to serve them during the
term, beginning January L, 1918, at
which time his present tenure will
expire.
Judge Lynch is candidate for
denomination by the voters at the
IRepublican primary election to be
held June next, and his official an
nouncement will appear within the
near future. He is Judge OF the
Thirteenth judicial circuit, COM
prised of Harrison and Lewis coua-
ties, one of the busiest circuits in
the state, and one that requires
close and constant attention to the
duties of his position. His record
on the bench shows him to be an
indefatigable worker and a jurist
possessing unusual qualifications,
greatly strengthened by experience
during the present term.
1t is interesting to note the dis
patch exercised by him in the con-
duct of his position, based always on
greatest care and particular
desire to be always just in his de-
cisions. When he assumed the po-
sition Of Judge, the civil and crimi-
nal dockets' in the circuit court
were congested-to, an almost con-
fusing, degree, and their present
condition. emphasizes. his diligence
and high capahilitx as t. Judge. Az
the present tern. Of. court here 100
cases have. thus far been disposed
of in, yaripuss% ways, but requiring
time and caueful consideration. He
submits, his official acts to the impair
tial scrutiny OF the voters of the
circuit IN confidence abiding their
judgment.
Without disparaging the candi-
dacies of others for the place, Judge
Lynch's friends insist that in view
of his splendid record and his fine
capabilities as a jurist, it will be best
for the circuit to retain him in the
position for another term.

latest estimate of the Bureau Of

bureau has added the latest estl-
mates OF sugar produced in the

tracing the official figures of exports
from the grand total of imports and
domestic production, obtains total

dar year 1911 Ten years ago, in
the fiscal year 1911, the indicated
