THE PARADE.

On the afternoon OF the first day of
the field meet, the 200 or more scouts
entered in the events will meet at
the headquarters OF troop one and
march from there down Main to Fifth
and from there out to the ball park,
led by a band and carrying large
American flag as well as pennants and
banners, etc. This should be an i'm
pressive occasion and as many as
possible should be in uniform. So
save your nickles and dimes and get
a suit before June. with your own
earnings. Don't ask your parents for
it. They will think more of you If
you do it yourself, and uniform
only costs. $3.50.
Oh yes, We were talking. about the
parade. Well, when they arrive at
the field, the best part is yet to be
seen. Without breaking ranks. the col
umn will be SO meandered, that each
troop will be stationed on the f1elo
apart from the rest and in open
ranks so that the entire field will be
nearly covered with troops OF the
scouts, each with its own drill master
and each now performing their own
specially in calisthenics. This should
certainly be as pretty an event as
was ever offered Keokuk audience,
but 1t will take practice. The troop
making best appearance wins this
event.

SUGAR FAMINE
HAS BEEN AVERTED
People Bought up all the Supply or
Hand at the Beginning
Of War.

by William Philip Simms, United
Press STAFF Correspondent
PARIS, Feb. 3. (By mail to New
York.)-A sugar famine in France has
been averted and the price which went
cents, will probably not go very much
higher.
At the beginning Of the war there
panic; people, with the memory Of
rats, cats. horses and other household
animals fresh in their minds associat-
ed with meals eaten during the seige
Iof Paris in 1870, made rush TO:
grocery establishments. Salt and sug-
ar were the things they asked for
first and soon 1t was noised about
that no more sugar was to be had. at
least for the time being.
After a while things losened up
somewhat. Sugar was to be had at
an increased price but, with the Ger
man invasion of the principal sugar
producing provinces and the confisca-
ton by them Of the beet crop, second
sugar panic was caused. Things real
ly did look serious. Most Of the sugar
in France came from the Nord, Pas
Calais, Aisne and Somme depart
ments and the Germans had invaded
these What was still worse. three
fourths of the best seeds came from
Germany, the other fourth from the
invaded French districts. With little
sugar on hand and apparently no
means of planting more sugar beets
for future crop, the outlook was
dismal.
The German seed houses offered to
send the seeds through Switzerland,
according to information gathered
here, but the French refused. Then
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1915-02-19

Russia came to the front. At the
price paid in times of peace to Ger
many Frances ally has sent to beet
farmers here a full supply of seeds OF
the same variety as the German.
The French government has taken
off the usual duty of Sc per 100 pounds
on the seeds. However the sowing
can be done only over 100000 hect-
acres as compared to 213,350 hectares
which is an average, owing to the
German occupation. Therefore while
danger of sugar famine has been
obviated, there must necessarily be a
comparative shortage of the home
