SUGAR CROP IF CUBA b|C THIS
 YEAR

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 31-Expecta- tions now run high that Cuba's sugar crop will reach the unprecedented fig ure of four million tons and win not improbabbly considerably exceed that figure. The planting of additional acreage on a great scale, the fact that owing to the unreasonable rains of last season it was impossible tq cut a large proportion of the cane and that this will be ground at the close of the coming season, and reports that the growing crop is doing splendidly, con- bine to justify the high estimates. With this goes an unprecedented inn portation of sugar making machinery for the equipment of the numerous new mills in all parts of the island.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-The cotton market experienced a small panic yes terday afternoon when the report of the government statisticians was made public showing that the cotton crop for the current year would be only 62 per cent of the normal. The condition of the growing crops is not of the best and while the decrease in acreage is small if any, yet adverse weather conditions will greatly restrict the harvest.

More Than a Stranger.

Manager Hughey Jennings Of the
Detroit Tigers makes it a rule to give
a tryout to everyone claiming to be a
ball player who comes seeking a place
with him. One day at morning prac'
tice, as Jennings tells the story, a
chap wandered in and asked for a
chance.
You're IN experienced player?"
questioned Jennings.
"Oh, yes" replied the candidate.
Can you hit and field pretty good?"
"Oh. yes, indeed"
What do you usually play?"
I'm a right fielder"
Well, go out IN right" instructed
Jennings. and We'll see what you can
do"
Jennings instructed one of the pitch
ers to hit a few flies to the new man
In right and turned to other affairs
He was back in a few moments and
greatly to his surprise, found the can
didate still beside the plate.
What are you doing here?" he
asked. Il thought l Sent you out in

HIDDEN IMPURITY

II American women knew how
much Of our Coffee lies on the ground
for days, before the berries are finally
swept up and harvested, greater care
would be exercised in purchasing
this food. For this Coffee is impure.
But its moldy color is lost in the roast
ing, and the partial decay is concealed
until 1t comes up harsh and bitter in
the cup. This fact is not generally
known to importers, for few of them
have studied conditions existing prior
to the arrival of their ships in port"
So writes +. c. HARDWOOD. And Mr..
Harwood knows. His long experience
in the tropical coffee growing coun.
tries, his deep intimacy with planta-
ton owners, his close study Of their
customs, their methods and the
Tricks of their Trade has acquired
for him a fund of knowledge which
places him far in the leadership of
coffee connoisseurs, both here and
abroad.
Denison's Coffees are selected by F.
c. Harwood, personally, and it is here
that his power in the Coffee Industry
manifests itself to the qualification of
Denison's Brands. His wisdom and
critical discrimination is appreciated
by Coffee Growers the world over, and
their respect gives him first choice of
the worlds finest crops. Thus, only
pure, hand.picked berries find their
way into Denison Coffees. His care
is your safeguard against impurity.

WORSHIP HEROES IN EFFIGY
Figures In Commemoration Of
Ancient Warriors.

In Kashmir, India, 1t vas once my
good fortune to visit a Hindu Duss-
rah, or native fair. The cantonment
Of my host was some distance away
from the grounds. SO we mounted two
of his horses and rode through the
village out on the road to the fair
grounds, where We rode much OF the
way in the wake of an interminable
procession on its way to the Duss-
rah.
Above the heads OF the multitude
three towering figures caught my eyes.
They were fashioned after the form OF
man, but crudely and grotesquely. and
they were 100 feet tall. turned to my
companion and asked him what they
were. He told me hat these mon.
strous effigies were reared to COM
memorate an ancient NEUROLOGICAL war
which, according to Hindu belief, took
place in Ceylon in the long ago.
Whether the story is true or not.
the figures were undoubtedly real. and
became more monstrously real the
closer we approached them. Later.
when we strolled at their feet. | saw
how they were made. Bamboo poles,
bound together after the Indian fash
ion of piecing out scaffolding, formed
the framework, and they were an
chored to the ground by ropes hid
den under the costumes that were
made of coarse cloth. The heads of
the figures, grotesque and unreal in
their workmanship, were surmount.
ed by fancy crowns Of gold and col
ored paper.
The fair, indeed, was devoted en-
tirely to the praise of these mytho.
they are supposed to have done in
the ancient Ceylon wars.

German Reply to Demand

Washington, Aug. 23.-Germany
must either disavow or satisfactorily
explain the sinking of the White Star
liner Arabic. Otherwise the United
States will break off diplomatic and
commercial relations with Germany.
This much was learned today from
officials in the confidence of President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing. They
are agreed that the sinking of the ship
constitutes "a deliberately unfriendly
act unless explained satisfactorily,
and circumstances are against such
an explanation. If the United States
is to maintain her prestige as a world
power she must act. Ambassador Cir
ard will ask for the German version
of the sinking. The outcome depends
upon what statement Germany makes.
Secretary Lansing has admitted re-
ceiving additional advices from Am

were mot for publication" No word
has been received from Germany, but
Ambassador Girard has been instruct
ed to ask the Berlin government if
the reports of the submarine COM
