Bad Weather
Delays Actions
Of the Board

Inclement weather and the bad
condition of the roads, has de-
layed the work of the Board of
Control of the Colorado Nebraska
Beet Growers Association, but,
with = week Of good weather the
work will be finished up and the
board will then be ready to COM
mence negotiations.
As was stated last week, it was
the intention OF the board to 60
to Denver March Goth, but the
weather conditions have made it
necessary to delay this trip for a
short time. The delay however,
will only mean q week or so more
that was at first planned.
More confidence is being place
ed in the matter of securing a
sugar factoay for this territory
all the time, and a great deal of
interest is being taken by the
people over the territory.
With good weather now, the
investigation work will be finish
ed up shortly and the board will
commence negotiations.

PERSONAL THANKSGIVING

Few of us know how we'll off we are in
this world. Tragedies and sufferlngs we
read of sometimes serve to throw our more
favored personal state into relief, but con-
trast is soon forgotten. But Pensacola
might do we'll right now to take stock of
its affairs and lay the foundation for very
considerable content.
Travellers, newspaper reports, letters all
tell of the pinch of conditions north, such
as few people have ever known or dreamed
Of Coal and wood are both So high and
scarce as practically to be unprocurable IN
anything like adequate quantities. And the
price of food is also prohibitive of anything
like sufficient supply for the poor or those
in reasonably moderate circumstances.
Wages are high, it is true, and work
plentiful but the price of living outdis-
tanced wages months ago, and the chaos
between income and outgo is increasing as
the food supply lessons with the coming of
winter months.
In panic years people have suffered pri-
walton, but there was never an actual short
ape of necessities. And usually a man
could secure credit, or get goods on some
terms, to tide him over. But with demand
so far exceeding supply, credit is almost a
thing of the past IN small trading, except
in cases where good security exists. And
credit would do a man little good under
the circumstances, because he has but a
slim chance to catch up
Here in Pensacola, there is plenty of
fuel, and living is perhaps as cheap as any
city in the country. The fish supply alone
is boon beyond compute. You can utter
those sentences quickly. They have not a
martial or rhetorical sound. But if there
is a tragedy on earth that multipies all
other tragedies, until verify they assume
the proportions of mountains, it is a chill
struck house on a bleak winter night, in
which there is little food.
It is very much up to the people Of Pen
sacola as well as many other communities
that enjoy our common blessings, to think
with deep sympathy of these things. And
to be mindful every hour of their blessings

EXTENSIVE EDUCATION

The blessings of the war accumulate as
the subject is considered. Think for ex-
ample of educational advantages of the
average American soldiers, Of the travel
he will experience, of the new people he
will meet, and the new experience he will en-
counter, and the strange countries he will
see.
1t will not be the boy you babe good
bye to at the train, as he left for the train
ing station, in his civilian clothes, that you
will welcome home when the war is done.
Think of the boy from the farm, whose
sole diversion was the movies once or
twice week, the small town of a Satur-
day afternoon, with maybe half dozen
short railroad trips thrown in, in the
course of his life
And the boy from New York, who has
known only the ruck of the city street,
the false stimulus of the big town, the
false point of view of the city's moral life!
One of these will be surprised to dis
cover that outside of that big town, which
he thought was the world and all that was
in it, are interesting people, interesting
sights, and and that the physical life in
the open gives joys of which he never
dreamed, and above all that there is such
thing as human sympathy, and the love
of man for man, emotions which the city
of his love would have denied him for
ever.
And the boy from the farm! He will
learn alas, there is more in life than is
dreamed of in his philosophy; that the bad
| men, the good men, the men from the city
and the men form the country-a common
heart beats in them all-and that after all
| there is not such a difference as he had
supposed. He will feel that the stimulus
| that is engendered by many minds, and
| his ambition will be quickened, whereas,
the man from the city will fall for the
| sweet spell of the open, and will expand.
And when they come back they will be
| glad they went and it will be a different
country for their having gone.

SUGAR

to put IN your COHee lIilo IlolAiAS you
were lucky. There were millions IN the
north who had none. A traveller arriving
from Connecticut reported that some OF
the grocerymen III that state were COMPEL
ing their customers to buy dollars worth
of groceries to secure pound OF sugar 1t
was Just that sort of practice that Braxton
Beacham, Food Controller of Florida, had
IN mind when he issued an order last week
stopping all combination grocery sales,
with the single exception Of those lnclud-
ing meal. :.
But the facts are, that Notwithstanding
the people of Pensacola have SO far not felt
the pinch of sugar famine, such as has
been experienced north, the commodity is
woefully scarce here And the timehas I'M
doubtedly come to put into practice the
theory of food conservation OF which we
have heard and read SO much.
Fortunately it is but a temporary short
age There is plenty of sugar, we are told.
I ouisana is on the eve of marketing rec
e-d crop, and the best product is just COM
q upon the market. We here are some
tlat in the position of the man who has
il envelope coming in Saturday night, but
has only dollar to last him until then.
Common sense dictates that he use that
dollar mighty sparlngly.
This situation is a strange one, illus
trating the lop-sided, topsy-turvy state of
the world All eastern America is IN the
grip of sugar famine; the pinch is SO
acute in France that even the fighting men
are allowed only daily ration equivalent
to what may be placed upon a silver
dollar England is very short, as we'll as
all the rest of the warning nations.
AT the same time, there reposes in ware
houses on the island of Java, in the Indian
Ocean, something like SOOOOO tons of this
commodity. Furthermore this is Dutch
sugar, and about forty Dutch ships are tied
up in the port of New York
From information gathered here yester-
day it is evident that the Food Controller
has not yet fixed the minimum price of
sugar. AT recent meeting of the grow
ers and refiners a price of 7.25 was agreed
upon. Local wholesalers yesterday, how
ever, stated that 780 was the current quo
tation at New Orleans.
That, however, is a low figure indeed
considering the shortage If the sole law
in the case were supply and demand, the
people of Pensacola would probably today
be paying fifteen or twenty cents for sugar
and shaking hands with themselves that
they were able to get it at all.
