SUGAR SHIPPED PORTO R1CO TO
 STATES

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April s. - Sugar valued at $1O,OOO,0OO is being marketed by Porto Rico this month. Every ship to the United States is carrying capacity loads. The months deliveries present probably not more than p per cent of the value of the sugar produced this season. Most of the sugar is being sold on a rising market at prices considerably above s per hundred pounds
 Never before in the history of the island have the sugar men had such Ia large crop nor prospects of such uniform high prices. The islands production, it is estimated, will be in the neighborhood of 3SO,O00 tons. an increase of approximately 75,OOO tons over last year. And under present market conditions it is expected that the whole crop will be sold at an av- craze of five cents per pound, or bet ter. Large sales this week were re ported at S5.22 San Juan, equal to $540 New York.

Many German Families Go MeatlesS
for Days and Weeks at a Time

and so I have to make the fires
while my wife gets breakfast. I go
off to the Office and Elizabeth comes
home at 8 or 9 o'clock, sore on the
whole world.
Sometimes she has been able to
get meat but more often than not
she comes back empty-handed.
POLITICALLY there are only two meat
find the butcher shops meatless day
after day.
Il call up my wife sometimes dur
ing the day to find out whether we
are going to have meat for supper
If she says We are, I'm happy all day.
You'd be surprised to know how
much difference little meat makes"
How much would Elizabeth pay
for a beefsteal?"
Five marks and hall a pound.
''How we linger over supper when
we have meat! Elizabeth hasn't
done any work all day She has been
upset by her mornings experience
''I on read of food riots in Berlin
That was only Elizabeth and her re,-
low maid fighting to keep their
places in line
But about supper time Elizabeth
wakes up, cooks the meat and brings
it in with smiles all over her face
She knows she will get her share
But if we asked her to go out for
meat every meat day, she wouldn't
stay with us
That is where the rich folks come
in. They can hire maids who have
no other work but to go through the
meat raid daily.
There are inju tees galore about
the food distribution in Berlin. That
is why they have had food riots in
front of the Reichstag and in front
Of butcher shops.
