. e EI1illions of Pounds OF
wcc.a to Satisfy Cravings
of Gate City l 'ellers.
TWICE AS MUCH A. BEFORE
Bv A. R. GROH.

We people of Omaha eat lo'ooo'ooo
pounds of sugar every year 1t wouia
take 4,0lS big, two-horse wagons like
coal wagons to haul that sugar, each
carving two tons, 44S0 pounds,
worth, at present prices, $345.
Each person eats ninety pounds OF
sugar a year on the average. This is
sicwn by the figures OF the Depart
r,cv of Commerce of the United
5. The total consumption last
in this country was S,793,794,92S
.,nds.
it is estimated, roughly, that each
person consumes just about his own
weight in sugar every year. You
may eat less than that, but many eat
more. Some girls can consume. a
pound of chocolates while reading
two short magazine stories. Maybe
that's what makes 'em so sweet.
We are eating more than twice as
much sugar now as we were thirty
five years ago. In 1880 the sugar
consumption per capita was only thir-
ty-nine and half pounds.
All Kinds of Sugar.
The sugar we eat includes not only
what we have in our coffee and on
our Nut Flakes or Excelsior Shaw
ings or other breakfast pabulum, and
what dear Gwendolyn stores away so
rapidly in the form of chocolates. 1t
includes all the sugar that goes into
our food in any shape whatsoever.
Americans are the prize sugar eat
ers Of the world. CASTOR of Paris,
Hans of Berlin, Ivan Of Petrograd,
Pietro of Naples, do not have such a
sweet ypoth. We have candy store
on nearly ever corner, but in those
cities you may travel a mile in the
business district and not discover a
candy store. e.
You'll be- surprised to learn what
country produces the most sugar. 1t
is Germany. In the year before the
war Germany produced 2,674,986 tons.
Cuba CAME close second with 2,s97,-
732 tons. In the United States we
produced o85,000 tons in 1914, three
fourths of it being beet sugar and the
rest cane sugar. We also produced
$3.50 tons of maple sugar. A good
maple tree will give pound and a
half of sugar day during the sea-
son. But that's only drop in the
bucket and we can't look to the trees
to save US from the present high
price.
Sugar from Watermelons.
A scheme was once devised, also,
to make sugar from watermeions. 1t
was shown that $l43 worth of sugar
could be produced from an acre OF
watermelons. But this scheme had
its flaws and today the source of
nearly all the worlds sugar is either
the sugar beet or sugar cane, little
more than half our supply coming
from the cane. s,.
Nebraska produced 2s,45 tons Of
beet sugar in 1914. Michigan pro-
duced 1922 tons; Colorado. 203,9l0
tons; California, Isl, ,203 tons; Utah,
5l,Oo7 tons; Idaho, 26,446 tons; Ohio,
$4,000 tons.
Louisiana produced 26l, ,367 tons of
cane sugar; Porto Rico. 325, 900 tons;
Hawaii, s50,925 tons; Philippines, U.s.
600 tons.
Isn't that sweet story?

With a glare and a roar and a rattle,
He is off for the Time of his Life;
He Is belching the birthstone Of bat
He is spouting the sulphur Of
strife.
But the wheels, as they clack,
Echo ghosts on the track,
Who forever persistently cry;
ooh, why did you leave us? Why
did you leave us?
Why did you leave us to dle?"
From the deeps of his inner abysm-
From the bellows of leather and
Comes a flaming of patriotism
When he turns on the natural gas
But he secretly quails
AS the hum Of the rails
Brings the menacing murmuring
nigh:
"Oh, why did you leave us? Why
did you leave us?
Why did you leave us to die?"
In the whir of the wheels is chorus
That will never permit him to sleep:
But you sWore us, you sWOre us,
you swore us,
That forever the faith you would
keep!
Oh the vision OF blows
You would deal to our foes
With the light of a god in your
eye!
But why did you leave us? Why did
you leave us?
Why did you leave us to die"

Waterbury Democracy

One Of the interesting incidents Of
the visit of Secretary of War New
ton ID. Baker here last week was his
meeting with a former occupant of his
office, Professor William H. Taft. Sec
rotary Baker was stopping for short
time at The Elton and when told that
the former republican secretary Of
war In Roosevelt's cabinet was in the
hotel he expressed a desire to see
him. The two men had known each
other for years and the war secretary
spent few minutes in confidential
conversation with the former presi-
dent, When he came down into the
lobby Of the hotel, someone made the
observation to the secretary of war
that Professor Taft was a most like
able man in which observation the
secretary heartily concurred IN
fact he said, "I like him so well that
I dislike anyone who dislikes him.
One Of the greatest things I have
against Roosevelt Is that he does not
like Taft and treated him so shah

PROSPERITY.

Prosperity Is the least of our wor-
ries. This is true whether 1t is tenn
porary prosperity, as charged, or
prosperity that will last for some
years after the war is over. No man
can say definitely Just how long any
will stop. When workingmen the
country over go to the pay window
week after week and extract there
from large and we'll stuffed envelopes
they are in a position to lay enough
aside to take care Of any lapse, tenn
porary or protracted, that may come
in prosperity. The big banking and
business interests Of the country are
not really worrying over prosperity
The head of the steel trust is of the
opinion that prosperity will continue
for some years to como The biggest
banker In New York, head of the
National City Bank. has stated that
he believes this prosperity under
which we are living is not temporary.

A gentleman of considerable repu-

declares, relative to our industrial
prospects after the war. that:
There Is one dominant thing that

Is the certainty of large orders for
many years to come from the ship

The creation of new, the enlarge

prop to all American industries.

The Reichstag In Session.
(New Haven Journal-Courier)


Evidences are multiplying that the
session of the German Reichstag,
which began on Thursday will go far
toward accurately rejecting the sentl-
ment at least of official Germany.
Contrary to expectations, it now looks
as If the submarine warfare would
not be discussed. At least 1t was
the emphatic recommendation of Ma
jor Bassermann, leader of the Nation
al Liberals, in his report from the
budget committee that, no decision
having been reached by the commit
tee on the U-boat question, the Reich
stag in it's deliberations abstain from
q discussion Of the situation, on the
ground that "a thorough discussion Of
the naval, technical economic, and
political details is impossible without
injury to the Fatherland, but on the
other hand that without such dis
cussiOn the subject could not be COM
pletely cleared up" Evidently the
advocates of frightfulness have found
the German chancellor one too many
for them. And in this light the visit
to American shores of the U-53 still
appears to have been made primarily
for psychological and home Consump
ton reasons ana TO nave marked no
radical change in the German sub
marine policy or in Germany's atti-
tude toward the pledges given to the
United States. An indication that
Berlin is seeing the light is to be
found in the keynote of the first day
of the session, that constant consid-
Grafton of Germany's best interests
should preclude the activity Of SYM
pathies or antipathies in Germany's
attitude toward other nations. An
other impression is that talk of peace
can be but idle while the Allies have
set their faces in the opposite direc-
ton. Germany Is obviously trying
to assure herself that she still holds
the whip handle. Every effort will
probably be put forward to make the
present session of the Reichstag ere
ate the impression that Germany Is
still on the offensive. At this dis
tance Germany appears to have her
hands we'll filled at home with this
task. We shall probably look for
more German submarines off our
shores in vain.
