YOU ATE 81 POUNDS
OF SUGAR LAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. LEACH per
son in the United States this year will
have used about 81 pounds of sugar,
the per capita consumption of this
article having increased from 80
pounds in 1910, SO pounds in 1900 and
1850 pounds in 1880, say statistics
gathered by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. The total amount
of sugar consumed this year will ey-
coed S,000,000,000 pounds In 1900,
only 4,500,000,000 pounds were used.
The cost of sugar to the consumer this
year will approximate $400, 1000, 900.
which is more than $1,000,000 a day.
One-fourth of thus sugar came from
the United States proper. another
fourth from Hawaii and Porto Rico
and the remainder from foreign coun-
tries, chiefly Cuba. A large increase
this year in the production of beet
sugar in this country is noted, 400
900 pounds, having been raised against
! ,000, 100000 pounds in 1910 and less
than half that amount in 1904.

DAUGHTERS of HAWAII ..
PLAN MONUMENT FOR
TOMB OF kAMEHAM EHA

/ At the meeting of the Daughters of
4 Hawaii held at the home of Mrs. L.
\ A, Coney this morning, the most i'm
/ portant matter discussed was the pro-
! posed monument at, the birthplace of
Kamehameha IIB in Kona. At the
! present time the stone is surrounded
Eysa stone wall and is almost hidden
| from sight. 1t has been the custom
of the Daughters of Hawaii to mark
| all such places of Importance as come
| under their observation Some time
ago the idea of the society was to
erect monument, but this morning a
committee was appointed to find the
| cost of bronze tablet that shall be
| placed upon the stone. No definite
action could be taken as no one had
definite idea Of the exact size of
the stone. ri. j
1t was suggested that this commit
tee also find the approximate cost Of
an iron gate that shall be placed in
the stone wall so that passersby may
lie enabled to view both the stone and
the inscription to be pllced there. At
each side of the grating will be placed
two tabu posts that were brought here
by Kamehameha for use in the gov
eminent. When the committee Sc
cures the data needed, a special meet:
ing of the society will be called.
Another matter ttaken Tup was the
protecting of the tablet at the Pail.
This tablet has been so defaced by
vandals that the inscription is hardly
Iegible. Mrs. ]. R. Gait was appoint
ed a committee of one to consult some
authority on marble, and to see that
the tablst is repaired. It was also.
suggested that an iron grating be
placed before it so that it will be
out of the reach OF those who wish, to
deface it. II
Two new members were elected |
into the society this morning, Mrs.
Walter M. Giffard and Mrs. Ralph
Lyon. <x.>..-A,.

BANQUET TO HONOR
HEAD OF MEN AND ....
RELIGION, MOVEMENT

The banquet which will be given in
honor of Fred B. Smith of New York
and Raymond Robins of Chicago, the
two leaders Of the Men and Religion
Forward campaign, has been set for
the evening of their arrival in Homo
lulu, on Jan. e, and will be held at
the Commercial club.
The committee in charge of the
social functions Of the campaign has
been busy this week making the final
arrangements for the banquet, and
now that these are completed, invita-
tons will be issued in a few days.
It is the desire of Messrs. Smith and
Robins to meet the leading business
men, ministers and social workers Of
the city during their stay in Honolulu,
and the banquet has been arranged
as the best means of giving the two
leaders a chance to meet the promin.
ent citizens of the city.
During the course of the banquet,
Mr.. Smith will deliver an address
upon the subject, The Relation of the
Business Man to Religion" one which
has stirred the leading business men
of America from Maine to Califor-
mia. Raymond Robins will also take
this opportunity to deliver one of his
short lectures on Social Service"
and the international quartet, which
is accompanying the team on its
reund-the- world tour, will render sew
eral selections. l.. Tenney Peck,
chairman of the local campaign, will
preside at the dinner. at which covers
will he laid for one hundred and fifty.
Mr.. Smith considers this banquet as
being one of the principal features Of
the entire campaign, as it will be here
that he will deliver his initial address
after his arrival in the city. The way
in which the invitations which will
be sent out will take pains to specify
the fact that mo soliciting of funds
will be in order at the banquet, is just
a reminder that no collections will be
taken at any of the meetings which
will lie conducted during the stay Of
the team in Honolulu. There will be
a collection at the Sunday meeting,
however, to defray part Of the local
expenses of the campaign.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington-A loss of 100000,
900 bushels of grain, the nation S
greatest farm crop, has resulted from
the great damage wrought by drought
and other conditions since July /,
the governments agricultural experts
estimated in their August report A
total production of 672,000,00O bush
els of corn was predicted This is
452,000,000 bushels less than last
years cop.
The general condition Of corn was
placed at 1873 per cent OF normal,
compared with S69 on July l. Kan
sas was hit hardest, the condition
there having been reduced from 81
per cent in July to 80 per cent August
L. Oklahoma came next with a con-
dition OF "A against 81 in July, and
Nebraska reported 81 against 81 July
l. These three states have almost 19
per cent of the total area planted to
corn this year.
A bright spot in the monthly grain
report were the preliminary statistics
showing a production of 511,000,000
bushels of winter wheat. This is the
greatest harvest of wheat ever
gathered in the United States, ex-
ceeding the record crop of 1902 by 10,-
100000 bushels. The figures exceeded
by 28,000,000 the estimate made by
the department in July.
Spring wheat, too, was given an in
creased estimate of production, it be-
ing 100000 bushels more than the
July estimate, the total being placed
at 233,000,000 bushels. With the
bumper winter wheat crop and a fair
ly good spring wheat production, the
total harvest of all wheat is esti-
mated at 744,O00OO0 bushels. "a crop
this size would place the years pro-
duction second only to the record crop
of 1901, when 74S,000,OOO bushels were
produced
The harvest of white potatoes, it is
estimated, will be smaller by $1,000

total OF 339,0O0,OO0 bushels is esti-
mated
