Exports of Sugar Causes Scarcity.

Some sections of the United States
are temporarily short of sugar be-
cause the Nation is partially filling
the imperative needs of the allies
and is supplying sugar for its troops
in France. In 1917 the United States
has exported over IS times as much
as it had averaged in the three years
preceding the war.
The worlds sugar crop for 1851 I
was nearly 100000 tons less than
that of 1928. A greater shortage,
however, effects the European allies
because their own production has
been greatly cut, and prior to the
war Germany and Austria exported
each year approximately 1,722,OOO
tons. In pre-war times England re-
ceived "a per cent of her total sugar
upply from the central powers, which

Miscellaneous Shower.

One of the prettiest and most en-
joyable social events of the fall sea-
son was the shower given by Mrs.
Edward Bartlett Price for her Sis
ter, Miss Salome BraBham, one of
Glars pretty brides-elect. Quite a
number of relatives and friends Of
both the hostess and the youthful
honor guest responded to the unique
invitation to go to miscellaneous
shower.
The guests were met at he door
by Mesdames F. O. Brabham and G.
Moye Dickinson and presented to
Miss Brabham, who was seated on
a prettily arranged platform in one
corner of the parlor The hostess
was assisted by her sister, Mrs. NJ.
T. Johnson, and by Mrs. Lonnie
Price. The table from which punch
was dispensed to all by Helen Price
and Pearl Brabham was attractively
arranged in the hallway, which was
bright looking in bamboo and red
chrysanthemums The decorations
in the parlor and dining room of
chrysanthemums and bamboo effec-
lively carried out the colors of the
rainbow.
All who were so fortunate as to be
present spent the afternoon most in
formally. Little Misses Dorothy
Johnson and Grace Price, dressed in
white, came into the parlor bringing
a large, round basket all covered
in white with large chrysanthemum
fastened to each handle. Quite a
nice collection of useful gifts were
received by the bride-to-be. After
the gifts had been looked at and
greatly admired, the little girls VINO
had been the bearers of as many
useful articles showered the recip-
lent with rose petals.
Just before the guests had to take
their departure, a delightful salad
course was served Miss Brabham
was not only the recipient of gifts,
but she was given the hearty good
wishes of the departing guests. B.
