THE PRICE OF SUGAR.
Consumer Paying More Than Ever,
Despite Promise to Contrary.

/ The sugar question is likely to at.
tract the attention of congress i1
more ways than one Remarkable
facts are coming to light which have
bearing upon the revenue, the gov.
ernment's policy as to protection and
| the cost of living.
The price of sugar is jumping every
| day, in spite of the promise held out
in congress that the income tax would
force the rich to shoulder the burden
of taxes and enable the housekeeper
to buy her sugar cheaper.
Probably the price is increased at
home because of the fact that huge
quantities of sugar are being exported
to Europe About half of the world s
sugarsis produced in Europe, but since
the war the supply from Germany,
northern France and Russia has been
out Of the market, leaving the rest
of the world to make up the de-
ficiency.
During the fiscal year 1915, ended
June 30, 519,306,232 pounds Of su-
gar were exported from the United
States to Europe. During the previ-
Gus year only 29,00O,o00 pounds
were exported
Soon after the outbreak of the war
assurance was given by the sugar
trust that it had adopted a policy of
not selling sugar for export The
promise evidently was made. to be
broken The demands from abroad
at war prices evidently proved too
much for the patriotism of the su-
gar producers, who had expressed
gratitude for the action Of congress
ii taking the duty on OF raw sugar.
The consumer was to get the benefit,
they said. But the consumer is now
paying war prices for sugar, and the
treasury in the meantime paid back
to the sugar producers S5,387 900 in
drawbacks during 1915, an increase
Of 5000, 600 over 1914.
Thus, while consumers pay more
for sugar than ever, the treasury
loses the duties paid for raw sugar
that is manufactured and exported.
This raw sugar should be kept in the
United States for home consumption,
at least in sufficient quantity to keep
prices down. But the sugar pro-
ducers, not content with reaping big
profits from Europe, are using the
boosting prices at home.
What kind of gratitude is that for
favors from a Democratic congress
What will the consumer do to the SUI
gar tariff when he gets a ehance2
Will he permit the manufacturer to
bring in his raw supply free and then
turn around and extort war prices
from the consumer?

SUGAR OUTLOOK GLOOMY
Crop Very Backward and Weather
Conditions Unfavorable.

D1scouraglng reports come from all
sections concerning the condition of
the growing cane crop. The season
throughout has been extremely un-
favorable, and even now, when very
little time is left for improvement
and rains can do but little good, the
weather maintains it's reputation for
heat and dryness. In some sections of
the sugar belt there have been oc-
casional showers, but in few instan-
ces have the downpours been of such
volume as to really help matters any.
A bad year is the almost universal
opinion of those who watch the Lou
islana cane crop.
The Louisiana Planter says: "Asa-
other matter that is interesting plant
ers right now is the liquidation Of
sugars from last year. Stored stocks
are already showing signs of deterio-
rating, and, from all over the sugar
country of Louisiana, there is much
disappointment among those who
staked most of their crop on the hope
for record-breaking prices. Money,
however, is very plentiful, the New
Orleans banks having several more
millions Of idle money now than they
have had at any other time within
the last few years. Any possibility
of trouble from lack of money is
absolutely removed by the statements
Of factors. who say that the only dark
cloud facing planters who have held
their outputs or part of them is the
fear of deterioration.
Crop reports are so diseonraging
that it is ruTaDred along with these
statement of crop shortage that sew
5eraI mills that worked IN 191 A will not
operate IN 1915. It was said the big
Godehaux refinery at Reserve would
not be operated this year because Of
the bad crop prospects, but inquiry
at the office of the Godchaux COM
pany in New Orleans proved that
such action was not only not order
ed, but beyond even the possibility Of
consideration"

A golden timepiece in q band
Of leather trim and neat,
Clasped close around her shapely limb
Encased in silken hose,
She'll make her dresses shorter yet,
To show it, / suppose.
When Carrie wears the ankle watch,
(Which she is bound to do)
She'll find lot Of ruhbernecks
Along the avenue,
And every blessed beau, behold
That round her fondly tarries,

Can learn the time from Carries.

CORN KING IN LOUISIANA.
Crop of Fifty Million Bushels Pro.
duced, Valued at $35, 200, 900.

One result of the diversifcation
campaign in Louisiana has been the
production this year Of a corn crop
of fifty million bushels, valued at $780,
100000 At this figure Louisiana
corn brought several millions more
than the states entire sugar crop
twice as much as the sugar crop in
some years.
In addition to the bumper corn
crop, which was two per cent of the
output for the country, Louisiana
produced 100000 bushels Of oats,
valued at S828,000.
Other products which increased in
yield during the year, besides
corn and oats, were sweet potatoes,
rice and watermelons. A decrease
was noted in hay, Irish potatoes, SUI
gar cane and stock hogs.

Ever Try This

Everybody is willing to try some
thing new. There is a certain amount
of interest and satisfaction in ac-
complishing something never done be-
fore. The next time you have a few
spare moments, search your desk and
gather up all the sheets of carbon
paper you can find-sheets that ap-
pear to have passed the stage Of use
fulness. With the carbon side up,
hold the sheets above a hot surface,
perhaps a candle or a match, and OBJ
serve the carbon melt and run to-
gether. Within three minutes after
each sheet has been thoroughly heat
ed it is a new sheet Of carbon, its life
prolonged indefinitely.

PUZZLE PARTY WAS A
MOST PLEASANT AFFAIR

The pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. P. Guy was the scene Of most de-
lightful social gathering last Thurs
day afternoon when Mrs. Guy and
Mrs. w. A. McCulley entertained
about seventy ladies at a puzzle
party. The rooms were beautifully
decorated with our nations glorious
colors. The shades had been lowered
and the artificial light from tbs
chandeliers was softly diifused BY
flags while innumcrable other flags
were tastsfully disposed about the
ON with charming effect.
Mrs. Walter Brown, accompanied
by Mrs. Chas. Brown, opened the af
ternoon's entertainment by singing
two beautiful songs in her charming
manner. Mrs. P. r. Sherman then
read Oscar Wilde's beautiful allegory:
''The Selfish Giant" with musical ac-
compartment by Mrs. Brown. The
a'legory is in itself an exquisite thing
and SO beautifully and touchingly did
Mrs. Sherman recite it that the guests
were completely charmed. She re-
sponded to the enthusiastic applause
with a delightful little encore in 1tal-
ian dialect. An envclop was then
passed to each guest. Catchy dog
gerel on the outside Of the envelopes
informed one that inside would be
found pieces Of advertisements which
you were to "tradc with every one
you meet until you have All ad. COM
plete." Much merriment followed
while the guests industriously traded
until each held complete advertise
ment. The hostesses then unrolled a
large silk flag that had innocently
adorned m archway and disclosed to
our delighted gaze q perfect shower
Of tiny miniature packages Of the ar
ticles described in the advertisements.
Each guest was asked to step for
ward and cut down the award for her
diligence. Dainty refreshment tables
were then spread and as the guests
stood at their places strains Of my
Country 'Tis Of Thee" flooded the
rooms and all voices Joined in singing
the words we al love. Delicious re-
freshments were then served, each
plate adorned with tiny silk flag
which the guests kept as favors. At
the close Of the luncheon the piano
burst forth with strains of "Auld
Lang Syne" and again all voices took
up the words and sang with real feel
ing.
Guests from out of town were
Mesdames Candor. Camp, Soule and
Farley from Cogswell and their pres
ence still further enhanced the plea
sure Of the occasion. The afternoon
will long leave a pleasant gov in
the memories of those who were
there.
