ADMINISTRATION PLANS
TO MEET DEFICIENCY

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal Wireless)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 2S.-The
financial deficit which the administra-
ton is face to face with will be dealt
with in a number of ways, according
to intimations from circles close to
the White House last night. 1t is ex-
pected that the president will soon
outline his plan for raising the neces-
sary funds Among them it is be-
lieved that he will urge the issuance
of at least 1925, 100000 in Panama
Canal bonds, increased income tax
and taxes on estates as well as on tea.
coffee and other things OF like ma,
ture. These and other measures are
TO be considered by the house COM
mittee on ways and means at once.
The deficit in the budget will be ap-
proximately $370,000,O00, a portion of
which will have been for the support
of the militia on the border and the
supplying of the Pershing column
south of the line.

SCOUTING IN CHINA
ey Scoutmaster A. M. Gill of Shanghai,
China

| was struck by the workmanlike APP
pearance of the Chinese boys, sons of
wealthy men. cleaning their boots,
washing their dishes and clothes, ETC.,
and in fact doing everything for them
selves. You American boys do not
realize what this means because Chi
nese boys have never done their own
work unless they were paid to do so.
Chinese are usually backward in TAX
ing up new things, but with scouting
it was different. Two years ago the
name Chinese Scouts was not known,
now there are nearly 1000 scots in
China, and they expect. to develop
their number very shortly.
At the first rally of the boy scouts
in China, scouts came from all parts
of the country. The Canton Troop
travelled about 1900 miles to attend the
rally, having raised the money by CIV
ing two concerts.
The badge of the Chinese Boy Scouts
is the well known "Fleur de Lis,
with the five national colors, red, vel,
low. blue, white and black, across the
fleur de lis, and the words Chinese
Boy Scouts" IN Chinese, at the bot
tom. A very pretty and attractive
badge indeed.
The tests these fellows have to go
through are just the same as those you
have to do, and the way they manage
to get their second and first class
badges is really wonderful.
Before end want to call attention
to one remarkable development of
scouting in China. Before scouting
was known in. this country their men
never gave in to the ladies; for ex-
ample, if man was in crowded car
and lady entered, he would never
have thought of getting up 10 give her
his seat, but now one sees young men
who are promptly vacating their seats
and offering them to the ladies no
matter who or what they are, and /
am sure these young men are boy
scouts

NEW YORK. Dec. 14.-The United
States. with less than fifteenth OF
the population of the earth, now has
more life insurance in force than ex-
lists in all the rest of the world put
together, according to original sta
tistics presented today at the tenth
annual meeting of the Association OF
Life Insurance Presidents. Alfred
Hurrell, associate general solicitor OF
the Prudential Insurance Company,
presented the figures and said:
Reserve Over Twenty Billions
THE very magnitude OF the figures
compels attention and respect. They
not only record the results OF great
business as a business, but they
sketch with accuracy a picture of the
moral activities of our people in COM
forting relief to the oft-repeated
charges of materialism and selfishness
made against them. There is in force
in the United States on residents
therein at the present time over
90 billion dollars of legal reserve life
insurance. In contrast with this, the
insurance i'm force on the lives OF the
people of Great Britain. Germany
France, Italy, Switzerland, Russia,
Austro- Hungary. Denmark, Norway
and Sweden. Japan, Australia, New
Zealand and Chile, on the last avail
able statistics, was less than sixteen

This is the long and the short Of it:

not let the big ones get away. Big
boys we mean.
Sometimes the big fellows when
they get along toward the "" period
feel that they ought not to associate
with the youngsters who are just get.

1t is perfectly foolish feeling but
lots of boys have it. It's like measles
catching, but not in Troop SO.
1t is different. The big fellows have
their own patrols and the little fell
lows have their patrols and they all
work together
The result is that in three years this
troop mas won the championship of
Cleveland and intends to keep it. The
troop has earned about $3.50 year by
giving plays, entertainments and lawn
fetes. The funds in the treasury are
to be increased and used in carrying
out plans for The future.
One of the big plans which is now
being considered is the purchase Of
five acres of land on Lake Erie to be

UNITED STATES CARRIES MORE LIFE
INSURANCE THANALL REST OF WORLD

literally the insurance carried Ill
countries not enumerated it is appar-
ent that the United States has more
life insurance than is carried else
where on the globe. At the end oil
1915. the actual insurance carried IN
American life insurance companies
was twenty-five billion, seven hundred
million, but some OF this is carried
ON citizens in foreign countries. In
the ten years from 1905 TO 1915 the
insurance in force in American COM
panics increased just short of 10 BILL
lions of dollars. The increase now IS
at the rate of over a billion of insur-
ance year. ~.
Marvellous Ten.Year Growth
The per capita insurance In force
at the end of 1905 in this country was
si59, at the end of last year it was
1927. In 1895 in England it was S10o
and at the end of 1913 it WAS S162.
Germany's per capita in 1905 was $40,
in 1914 il was $50. France only in
creased its per capita from SO in 1906
to SCI in 1912; Italy had $500 in lSlS
and by 1914 this had increased to out
$500 per person. So it is seen that
compared with the other principal ma
tions not only is our per capita much
higher but it has a steady annual IN
crease over those countries in the
years preceding the outbreak of the

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec. A.
Porto Rico will produce more than
half million tons of sugar during the
1861 crop, according to the esti-
mate just made public here by j; Ruiz
Soler, secretary of the Porto Rico
Sugar Producers Association. His
estimate of next seasons production
is placed at $4,000 tons.
This figure represents an increase
OF more than $4,000 tons over the 1915
16 crop, which has been fixed by the
insular treasury at 4S3,590 tons,
There is a slight variance, however,
between the actual production figures
as compiled by the insular govern
ment and the production figures given
in Mr.. Soler's report According to
the Sober estimate, the total produc-
ton of sugar from last years cane
crop totaled 4S3.097 tons, or approx
mately 500 tons less than was re-
ported by the insular treasury.
On selling price basis OF cents
per pound at Porto Rico ports, Mr..
Soler estimates the coming crop will
be worth over s51 100000. The esti-
mated production of sugar for the
new crop as compiled by Mr.. Soler,
together with his figures OF produc.
ton for the past crop, follow:

PORTO RICO CROP NOW PLACED AT
100000 TONS BY ASSOCIATION

While production estimated made
by Mr.. Soler forms probably the best
basis on which to figure the island s
coming CROP. the grinding OF which
will commence early next week un-
less present plans are changed, there
are many we'll informed cane produc-
ers in Porto Rico who are inclined to
believe the final output will be con-
siderably larger than this estimate.
In view of the expected increase in
production planned for several cen.
trails, some producers are predicting
that the next crop will exceed $780,
900 tons, while some have yentured
the opinion that the new crop would
be 25 per cent larger than that OF the
past season. Should this latter In
crease materialize the crop would
slightly exceed 100000 tons.
Sure Of Record Crop
Regardless Of what actual produc-
ton figures will be reached, the ma
jority of producers agree that the 1917
crop will in all probability be the
largest that Porto Rico has ever pro-
duced. A continuation of the present
favorable conditions affecting the
sugar market of the Western Hemis,
phere may also result in the further
planting of cane in 1917 on land not
usually given over to sugar.
The weather still continues rainy,
although less unfavorable than in re-
cent weeks. For the first time in 70
years or longer, the south side of the
island. usually discouragingly dry, has
at times this season complained of
too much rain.
Guanica Centrale is planning to
commence grinding on December 4.

the demand for the refined product
while at the same time two large new
refineries have been opened in Japan
for refining Formosan sugar. and the
current crop of sugar I'm Formosa is
reported as unusually large. Stocks
of raw and low-grade sugars in Hong
kong and Shanghai have been increas-
ing from month TO month while prices
have dropped in corresponding de-
gree.
The announcement that the Russian
government is coming into the Far
Eastern market for supplies of sugar
led to a boom I'm Hongkong refinery
stocks, the shares of one refinery ad-
vancing about 10 per cent in value In
the past five days. The only ques-
ton in the situation seems to be as to
how much sugar the Russian govern
ment plans to purchase here. Orders
for about 10000 tons have been
placed tentatively at $3.50 local cur
cency per picul, or about $O.05 gold
per pound, e. o. b. Hongkong for ship
ment to Vladivostok. A special lot
of $500 picus Isome l65 short tons }
OF high-grade sugar has been sold for
this trade at SIS local currency per
picul, or about 5000 gold per pound.
In spite of the prospective demand
for the output of the Hongkong re-
fineries prices have been advanced
but little, as purchases have been
made largely on contract. OF the
sugar above mentioned about one
fourth came in the raw state from the
Philippines. the rest coming from
Java.
