Cuban Sugar Shipped Elsewhere

Under questioning by Senator Jones
of New Mexico, the witness said he UNI
Gerstood that about half of the 10000
tons available IN Cuba, when he wrote
the letter, had been shipped to other
countries and that the balance either
had arrived in the United States or
was enrOute.
When asked by Senator Jones If he did
not consider it good business to allow the
30 600 tons to go elsewhere If the Cuban
dealers would be convinced that this
country would maintain its position, Mr..
Spreckles replied that the sugar would
have served the public when the short
age was acute.

Protested to Hoover

Mr.. Spreckles told of protesting 10 Mr.
Hoover against the contract whereof" the
American Sugar Refining Co. was to OBJ
tain 10000 tons of the Louisiana crop.
He said his company had not considered
getting any of that crop because the food
administration had fixed no price and
that he was astounded to learn OF the
American company making the contract
after a price of $685. for the Louisiana
product had been agreed upon at a con-
ference participated in by Mr.. Rolph and
Mr.. Babst
When the shortage came into sight in
the East the witness asserted NOR than
100000 tons of raw sugar was held in the
West of which the California Hawaiian
Co. held 10000 tons He said he appealed
to Mr.. Roph to allow some Q. this to
come east to keep eastern refneries go
ing. but was informed it was necessary
to keep the supply in the West until the
Hawaiian crop came in.
In support of his charge that Messrs
Rolph and Babst favored the American
company Mr., Spreckles related one Incl
dent that brought out how two compa-

StItiS ldi sugar Wllen none was TO be

Lamborn came to him soon afterward
Mr.. Spreckles said. for means to finance
the deal further and told him that within
Is minutes after the committee had de-
clined the sugar buyer for the Ameri-
can had offered him $3.50 for it, Buyers
for the chain store companies heard of

Arvada School. Will Buy
a Liberty Bond

A novel plan has been launch
ed in our public schools for the
purchase Of a Liberty Bond.
The plan is as follows: We
have over 500 pupils in our
schools, and each child giving 10
cents we will be able to buy one
$50 Liberty Bond in the name of
the school. This bond and its
interest will revert to the school
fund for library purposes. The
Senior class of each year is to be
be custodian of the Bond and in
this way each class FROM the
kindergarten up will have an op-
portunity to handle the Bond as
it will not be due for Is to. 80
years.
The idea is not so much about
the receiving of the money as an
investment but til is for the pur-
pose of teaching patriotism.
Each child will have a person
] al interest in this Bond and he
will feel that he is helping some.
Not every child or parent is able
to buy a bond, but they are just
as patriotic in many cases as
those more favorably situated fl
nancially. This plan, then, will
make every boy and girl feel
that they, too. can help some.
Then, too, it is meant to teach
economy. Every child must
now be taught to deny himself of
some of the luxuries for which he
is not made a better citizen.
This plan has been presented
to all the pupils and is meeting
with an extremely gratifying re-
sponse. Some are donating
much more than the 10 cents and
should such hearty response
make it possible our Bond will be
doubled. Let every patriotic
citizen encourage the children in
I'..s,s. ~. The names Of all those do.
