eighty-s six Boy Scouts of America earned the war service emblem by sell ing ten or more Liberty bonds and will receive, in time the badges of honor for that patriotic work. The scout holding the highest bond selling record is Fred Shelton, of Troop l, Mayfield, Ky. who disposed of 324 bonds, aggre- gating $24,750. He is a farmer boy who obtained all the subscriptions in his home neighborhood.
 So greatly was the government im- pressed by the activity of the Scouts that every effort has been made to keep their interest and have the benefit of their proven efficiency in this sec c-d ! iherty loan campaign. They are the citizens of tomorrow and their to- morrow must see the world safe for democracy-and in aiding the sale of bonds they are performing most vali- antly their part toward that end.
 Fresiedtn Wilson has just issued a letter commenting athe Boy Scouts for their efforts in the preceding cam paign and wishing them even greater success in the one now being waged, and as a final incentive he will per sonally present the Scout troop selling the highest number of bonds Of the second issue a United States flag.

 KANSAS CITY, Oct 21.-Saturdays gridiron contests in the Missouri val ley conference upset several predic- tiOns and strengthened others. Ne braska's ' to Q victory over the fast Notre Dame eleven gave further evil dence of the strength of the Corn huskers. Missouri's 15 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Ames' cyclones brought deepening clouds about the championship hopes of the Missouri school, and the Kansas Aggies' 61 to 0 walkaway from the Washington Uni versity eleven brought that school on a par with the Nebraskans. With Missouri on the down grade and the Kansas team yet untried against a conference eleven, the cham pionship early-season choice rests with Nebraska, although the Kansas Aggies will make a strong bid.

LIBERTY FIRES TO

 ON TUESDAY NIGHT

As patriotic reminder that the second Liberty loan campaign closes with the close of business hours on October 27 the lighting of Liberty fires in each community on the 23, or Liberty eve as it is being desig- mated, promises to be at once unique and entirely effective
 The gigantic bon fire, symbol of the day to oe lighted in the national capital by Mrs. McAdoo, wife of the Secretary of State, will consist of stick of wood from each state in the union-each possessing some signifi- canoe of historic value.
 Arizona is to be distinguished by the use of a block of ancient Aztec wood, from the prehistoric Cliff dwell- ings near Roosevelt dam, which was sent on to Mrs. MeAdoo by Miss Alice NJ. Birdsall. of Phoenix, state chair man of the woman's Liberty loan committee. Wesley Hill, a driver of the Apache Trail stage between Phoe- nix and, the dam, made a special trip to the Cliffs to find log suitable for the great fire and presented it as his 'bit" of patriotic endeavor for the celebration.

CONSUMERS BLAMED FUR SHORTAGE IF
 SUGAR IN EAST
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-Blame for the present shortage of sugar north of Savannah and east of Pittsburg is placed squarely on consumers and on manufacturers of sweets, by the food administration.
 In a statement today the food ad- ministration said that had it's recent request for the curtailment of the use of sugar had been needed. present conditions would not exist It again warned the people to economize until new supplies are available.
 The adr2inistratIon made this ex- planation of it's efforts to relieve the shortage:
 The food administration some days ago directed manufacturers and dis trIbutOrS of sugar to cease sales to confectioners, syrup and luxury manufacturers until Cuban supplies are available. By this means the sugar consumption of the area of plentiful sugar south of Savannah and west of Pittsburg would be greatly reduced, and thus expedite the arrival Ol beet sugar Into the sparse area.
 Purchases of more sugar by house. holds than is needed from week to week only adds difficulties to the distributing agencies of the country, which are cooperating Loyalty to min imize the period and intensity of the shortage. Reports today show many retailers in many cities in this sec ton are doing their best to effect just distribution and hold prices, but ! are having much difficulty with the hOarding consumer.
 The beet sugar factories in the west, with the products of California, Colorado, Utah. Michigan and other states are rapidly coming into ac- ton, Food Administrator Hoover said, and will be able soon to take care of the sugar supply west of Pitts i burg, but the shortage is expected to continue north of Savannah and east of Pittsburg until December, when the Louisiana, Mississippi and i Cuban supplies will become available. i Beet sugar will be sent into the
 east, but the extent to which it will [ help will depend largely on economies western people observe.
