SUGAR TO COME DOWN.
Hoover has Reached an Agreement
with Producers of Beet Variety.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. Herbert
C. Hoover, the food administrator, has
reached an agreement with the beet
sugar producers which, he asserts, will
mean soon a reduction of approximately
l IL cents a pound in the price of sugar
to the consumer, a saving of about
$50 100000 between now and the first
of next year. Mr.. Hoover predicts a
further drop in sugar prices when the
Cuban supply is available.
The agreement was reached as con-
ferences here attended by representa-
tives of so per cent of the domestic
beet sugar industry, which followed
Mr.. Hoovers request that the ex-
changes end all deals in sugar futures.
The producers were told by Mr.. Hoover
that prices must be lowered, even if the
full powers of the food control legisla-
ton had to be employed.
The price fixed to the trade for the
present is 1925 per 100 pounds, f. o. b
seaport refining points. Later Mr.
Hoover will announce definite figure
at which wholesale sugar should be de
Ilivered. The machinery of the Food
Administration, it was stated, would
be used to end speculative profits be
tween producer and retailer.

With three regular men out of the
lineup, st. Michael's A. A. team de-
feated the Hinsdale team at Island
park to yesterday afternoon, but it
required 10 innings to do the trick Hins-
dale put up stiff opposition, and the
fair sized crowd present got its money s
worth. Brattleboro played loosely at
times, especially in the ninth inning,
when with the score 4 to in favor of
Brattleboro the locals allowed Hinsdale
to tie the game up.
With two men out in the ninth Muir
ply passed two and each easily worked
a steal. Brooks batting for Powers
.poked a pop fly over Murphys head
and the Brattleboro infield stood by and
watched the ball fall TO the ground while
two Hinsdale runners crossed the plate.
In the last half of the 10th Ferriter
grounded out. Gray reached first on
Latham s error and stole second. Ken
nedy was passed and Gray pilfered an.
other sack. Clune flied out and then
Narker smashed a screaming single to
right, driving Gray home with the win

Boys are not the only ones who find
that the results are serious when they
run out from behind ice wagons in front
of automobiles. Two youngsters have

George F. Shears, who conducts a gen
eral store in Bernardston, Mass, was
driving north with others in his Dodge
car and came up behind one of Melvin
Dalrymple S ice teams. He pulled out
to 90 past and saw an Apperson car ap

but instead of keeping close to the wag

and the southbound car struck the

the Dodge ear the wheel, fender anC

not running fast otherwise the collision
would have made more of a story.
The accident was reported to Chief
of Police George Wilson soon after i
happened, and the officer went with hi

did not appear to justify any action OF
