HOOPER REPORTS
SAYS Sugar Man is Hurt Because His
Personal Profits are
u,t

Washington. Dee l1.-While Claus A
Spreckels. president of the Federal Su
gar Refining company of Philadelphia
continued Saturday to tell the Senate
committee on manufactures that the
high price for Cuban raw sugar fixed by
Food Administrator Hoover enabled re-
fners to accumulate huge profits at a
time when the public is suffering a short
age. Mr. Hoover retored that Mr.. Spree
kles was sore at the food administra
tion and was fighting to destroy IT be
cause his personal profits had been cur
tailed and the possibility OF 30-eent SUI
gar eliminated,
Mr.. Hoover promised to go before the
Senate committee in due time and reply
tn the charge that the food administra-
ton and its international sugar commit
tee, termed an adjunct Of that sugar
trust" were responsible for the present
sugar shortage.
The charge by Mr. Spreckels that su-
gar was permitted TO go to Canada
brought the retort that Mr.. Hoover had
vet to meet an American citizen who
would have had il otherwise" and he
ssid that despite sllotments To Canada
and other foreign shipments, the Ameri-
can people had been provided with twice
the ration adopted in France
Admitting that some refners and pro-
ducers NAV have desired to use the food
administration TO settle long standing
bitterness, Mr.. Hoover asserted that
there had been no such opportunity az
forded and that the best interests Of the
nation and its allies alone had been
served

TO CONSERVE COAL
The Bellows Falls Churches Act to Save
Fuel

Bellows Falls, Dec III Most Bellows
Falls churches yesterday decided upon
action looking toward conservation of
coal. The Methodist and Baptist churches
decided to use their auditoriums only
Sunday morning and other services OF
the week to be held in small parlor rooms
heated by wood stoves. The Congrega-
tional church decided to close their large
parish and Sunday school building, using
the auditorium and parlors for all pur
poses, not keeping them heated through
the week as heretofore. The Episcopa-
iians will close their church and hold all
services in the parish house. The Uni.
versalists are not fully decided. but will
do as we'll as any of the others The
saving of coal by all will amount to i'm.
portant figures.

State Examination
Nashville, Jan. %, 1917.
My dear Superintendent:

Nashville, Jan. %, 1917.
My dear Superintendent:
The next State examination for
teachers will be held March Both
31st. The weather was SO inclement
when the December examination was
held that comparatively few took it.
In order to give the graders an op-
portunity to care for the papers of
the next examination, which will be
heavy, we have decided to hold the
next examination sooner than was
first planned. We desire to have GER
tifcates from this examination in the
hands of teachers in time for them to
teach Summer terms of schools.
As this is the last exam nation un-
til the middle of July, it will be nee
essary to have all your teachers who
expect to begin teaching before Sep
TENDER 1st, take it.
All applicants taking the examina-
ton to receive certificates must take
the entire examination. This includes
the Reading Circle. Holders of FIVE
year or permanent certificates, in lieu
of the examination in the Reading
Circle, may attend term of some
accredited school. In this work at
least one course in education must be
accreditably done.
Please give this announcement wide
circulation in your county and get all
your teachers to qualify at the next
examination. 1t is very unsatisfactory
to wait until the July examination.
Very respectfully,
s. W. SHERRILL,
State Superintendent.
