KING ALFONSO ENJOYS
ARREST FOR SPEEDING

the picturesque old town of Bayonne

Sugar CONSUMPTION.

The consumption of sugar Is con-
stantly increasing in the United States
and for the yea 1913 reached PRACTICAL
ly 3, 100000 long tons against about g.
500, 000 hi year before. All the world
seems now to be ap~preciating more and
more the nutritive value OF sugar as q
food stuff, and the consumption is
constantly increasing, and the increase
Is rated at over 4 per cent per annum.
The average difference between the
price of So test raw sugar and fine
white g%ranulated, was 0.772 cents a
pound against O.879 cents a pound In
1912, and 0.9S2 cents a mound In 1911.
or this total, 2,75O,00O tons Of con-
sumption in round terms. 100000 tons
came from Cuba, 500, 900 tons from
Hawaii, 375,000 tons from Porto Rico.
and the Philippines; 208,00O tons Of
domestic ri sugar, 625, 600 of domes-
tic beet sugar, 5000 tons Of maple
sugar, and 10000 tons made from i'm
ported molasses. Practically all OF this
sugar was refined, although the domes-
tic beet sugar Is made pure white in
one continuous process from the beets
to the finished white sugar. The great
refineries handled all OF this immense
amount and seemed quite willing to
give their respective quota. The Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company refined
], SS4,000 tons. or 1927 per cent. and 9TH
ler refineries, l.75o,00O tons, or 46 per
cent.
These date show the enormous i'm
jportance of the sugar industry to he
United States, and in 1t all Cuba stands
iat the dominant factor. Cuba's possibi-
Ilities Of sugar production are simply
immense, and promise q steady In
crease.

GRAVES OF OUR DEAD.

AS we cover the graves of the heroic
dead with flowers. the past rises before
us like a dream. Again we are in the
great struggle. We. hear the sounds of
preparation-the music of boiSterous
drums-the silver voices of heroic
bugles. We hear the appeals of ora
tors; we see the pale cheeks of women,
ana the flushed faces of men; we see
all the dead whose dust we have GOV
cred with flowers. We lose sight Of
them no more We are with them
when they enlist in the great army of
freedom. We see them apart from
those they love.
We see them as they march proud
" away, under the Haunting flags,
x !, e ! time to the wild music of war
marching down h streets of the great
cities, through the towns, and across
the prairies, to do and to die for the
eternal light. We go with them, one
and all. We are by their side on all
the CORY fields, in all the hospitals of
pain, on all the weary marches. We
stand guard with them in the wild
storm and under quiet tars. We see
them pierced with balls and torn with
snelis, IN the trenches by the forts, and
IN the WhArlwind Of the charge. where
men become iron with nerves Of steel.
we are at nome when the news reaches
us that they are dead. We see the
maiden IN the shadow Of her first sor-
row. We see the silvered head Of the
old man bowed with the last grief.
Those heros are dead. Thew sleen I'm.
der the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks.
the fearful willows, and the embracing
vines. They sleep beneath the
of the clouds, careless alike of
sunshine or of storm, each in the win
dowless place of rest. Earth may run
req win other wars-they are at peace.
N the midst of battle. in the roar of
the conflict, they found the serenity Of
death. I have one sentiment for the
soldiers. living and dead-cheers for the
living. tears for the dead. 80
