The Lamar league team went to
Las Animas Sunday and gave that
town an exhibition of real ball playing
that carried them off their feet and
put the Lamar team again up close
to the top where they expect to land
after the game here with Rocky Ford
on next Sunday. The Lamar boys
played a fast game and Las Animas
was never even threatening-that is
from baseball point of view.
Caulk batted with his old time vim
and Fred Littler pitched cinch ball.
Henry, the former Lamar second base
man, was back on the job and added
his well known pep to the infield play
ing. The entire team played fine
game and made the fans who went
along to see the game feel enthusiast
tic.
In the meanwhile La Junta succeed
ed at last in getting up enough steam
to take one more game from Rocky
Ford, making their second for the
season. This leaves only half game
separating the teams and Lamar ex-
poets to be on top after next Sun
days game.
The box scores of both games fol-
low:

of the very measure which they had

of the very measure which they had
attacked.
Scores of times on the floor of both
the house and senate democrats de-
clared the Glass-Owen bill would
render panic impossible. Z Demo-
cratic stump speakers took up the
assertion and declared measure had
finally been found to put an end to
panics. The democratic press fol-
lowed with fulsome praise of the pro-
posed panic panacea.
Then the democrats passed the
Glass-O Owen bill.
That has been law for 8 months,
but organization under it had not
been affected. Then the great Euro
pean war came on. European stocks
and bonds were dumped on America.
The country was seized with financial
fear. Something had to be done. 1t
was reported that the democratic
Glass Owen bill which had been SO
widely heralded could not be put into
working effect for thirty days more.
Yet in that thirty days business might
be paralyzed. The situation was crit
ical. Their eight months old curren-
cy bill could not do the business. The
president and his secretary of the
treasury knew it. They were grasp
ing for relief measure. The fact was
forced upon them, that the old repub
lican Vreeland-Aldrich measure was
their only salvation. So, with bitter
reluctance, they asked congress to use
its provisions to save the country.
Congress did and the panic was avert
ed.

WAR AND THE SUGAR SUPPLY
Situation Affords Striking Proof o
the Value of Domestic Sugar
Production

The outbreak of war in Europe has
resulted in q sharp advance in sugar
prices. On July 80, the lowest net
cash quotation of the New York re-
finers for graduated sugar was 4.165
cents a pound while raw sugar was
selling at 1923 cents. By August 10
refined had advanced to 6 cents and
raw to S cents.
Germany, Austria, Russia and
France, the nations actively engaged
in conflict, are the chief sources Of
Europe's sugar zRpD2y, producing
together some 7,5o0060 tons Of beet
sugar. This is nearly so per cent.
of the entire output of beet sugar,
and more than one-third of the total
sugar crop of the world. Ordinarily
Germany, Austria and Russia export a
million tons or more of sugar to other
countries, largely to Great Britain.
The largest production and the largest
expectation is that of Germany. The
harvesting of the German beet cror is
carried on largely by laborers from
Russia Poland, anil this labor will not
b. available if the war continues dur
ing the harvesting period. In all the
countries involved in the war the la
Dor supply is drained by military op-
erations, and it is likely that the beet
fields may be devastated by the move
ment of troops.
Great Britain is the chief sugar
importing country of Europe. Her
yearly importations are over two
million tons, of which approximately
7OO. 600 TONS ordinarily is drawn from
nations now involved in war. With
this source of supply cut off, Great
Britain has turned to the New York
market to secure sugar. buying 49,
900 tons within the first few days of
August and bidding I'D prices rapidly
in order to obtain it. While the Euro
mean war continues it will be neces-
sarv for the Britons to depend for
sugar upon sources of supply on which
usually thew do not draw to any ex-
tent II is evident from what has
occurred already that they are likely
IN continue in sharp competition for
Cuban sugar which ordinarily comes
to the American market.
