Are You Going School?

The Fall Term at the Warrensburg State Normal School
will begin Tuesday, September 9th. The cataog will be sent
on request.
The State has invested $475, 10000 in this Normal School
Plant. The School prepares teachers for all the needs of all
the schools.
Every Department is we'll organized and we'll equipped.
OF the Library DR.. Suzzalo, Columbia University, New York
City, said, This is the best Normal School Library l have
ever seen"
The standards of work in this school are high, and the
cost to students less than in any other school Of same rank.
Last year was the best in the existence of the school, but not
as good as the next will be. Laws enacted by the last Legis.
lature give the people of Missouri new opportunities in educa.
ton. Schools will mean more. Teaching as a profession
will mean more to Missouris young men and young women.
Crops may fall and business may fail, but the demand for well
prepared school teachers will never fail. Through scholar
ship and a preparation to do some one thing well is always a
sound proposition. That is our proposition.

Sugar Imports Into The United
States, Fiscal Year 1918.

States, Fiscal Year 1913.
More sugar was brought into
continental United States in the
fiscal year just ended than
in any other year in the history
Of the country, according to the
latest figures of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
Department of Commerce. The
quantity Of sugar entering from
foreign countries and our own
islands in the year ended June
30, 1913, was 612 billion pounds
and exceeded by 500 million
? nnds the figures of the former
figh-record year, 1912, when the
imports from foreign countries
and the islands were, IN round
terms, 6 billion pounds. OF the
G1@ billion pounds brought in
during 1913, 4 1-3 billion came
from Cuba, ! billion from Hawaii,
three-quarters of a billion from
Porto Rico, nearly a quarter of
a billion from the Philippines,
and the remainder chiefly from
South America. Java, which has
in some years sent us as much as
/ billion pounds of sugar, sent
but 13 million pounds in 1918;
while the quantity from Europe,
chiefly beet sugar, was 1872 mil
lion pounds, against but 619 mil
lion in 1912, but being materially
IS than in certain earlier years,
the total quantity of beet sugar
imported in 1901 having been
pounds, and in 1897,
1865, 567, 495 pounds.
In value, however, the years
receipts of sugar fell nearly 30
million dollars below those of last
year, despite the fact that the
quantity received was 500 million
pounds greater. The total value
of sugar imported from foreign
countries during the fiscal year
1918 was $104, 639, 1923 and of that
coming from Hawaii $36,607, 800,
from Porto Rico, $26,6l9,1 1853; and
from the Philippines, 81, 1913, 1879;
the latter, however, being includ-
ed in the figures of imports from
foreign countries. The average
value per pound of the sugar
imported from foreign countries
in the fiscal year 1913 was %
cents, against 2.81 cents in 1912,
2 46 cents in 1911, and &c cent
in 1910.
These fiOurpS which show that
the sugar imported in 1913 ex-
ceeded that of any other year,
suggest that the sugar consump-
ton of the United States in 1918
will be larger than ever
before and will for the first
time, exceed 8 billion pounds.
The quantity brought from for
eign countries is about 44 bill
lion pounds, and from Hawaii
and Porto Rico nearly 2 billion
while the domestic production
now approximates 2 billion
pounds, the figures for 1912 be-
ing, of beet sugar about 1900
million pounds, and of cane suga.
foreign countries supply approx.
imately one-half of the sugar con
sumed in the United States, oul
own islands about one-fourth, an
our own fields about one-fourth
Cuba supplies nine-tenths of thai
from abroad; Hawaii, about one.
half Of that from our islands, an

pleasant Christmas surprise on his
many friends in Kingstree by his
arrival in town Wednesday morning
with Mrs Gass. When Mr. Gass left
here in September it was pretty we'll
known among his friends that Cupid
had him going, but none of them
were enlightened as to the time and
place.
Bill Franklin, an old offender and
all-round bad negro, was brought
here last Thursday from Greelyville
by Rural Policeman w f Allen and
lodged in the county Jail. Bill, it
seems, made a practice of getting
young negro boys into his game and
when he could not fleece them out
of their coin at cards or with the
bones he would pull his pistol on
them and compel them to fork over
at the muzzle of his gun. Some
years ago he shot negro at Greely-
vile and made his escape, going to
Florida, where he spent about two
years, six months of this on the
chaingang. 1t is also reported that
he killed a negro in Florida. When
arrested he made strong resistance
but was soon subdued by Officers
Allen and Gamble.
