AN OLD TIME ITEM.

We take the following from The Re-
publican Journal of October IA, 1929:
A full bloodied Jonathan, residing in a
certain town in New England, once took
it into his head to ego courtin": he ac-
cordingly saddled the old mare, and start
ed off to pay his devors to one of the
buxom lasses of the neighborhood. After
staying with his 'gal" until daylight
appeared he made preparations to depart.
Just as he was seating himself on the
saddle, his fair one who stood in the door,
land who by the way was marvelously
fond of having ''sparks') wishing him to
come again, stammered out, 81 shall be
at home next Sunday night, Zeb." Zeb-
edee taking out his tobacco box, bit off a
quid and answered, $50 shall by gaully."

OUR BLUEPRINT SHIPS.

After months of pickering, hesitanc y
and change of plans, it is announced that
the building of standardized steel car 60
ships by the government has actually be-
gun. These ships are to be each of 1000
tons and $50 of them are to be built. One
of this type of ships has been built and
launched. The keels of two similarives-
sells are to be laid this month. We shall
rejoice if the time ever comes when the
shipping board can fairly boast of what it
has done instead Of what it is going to do.

THE SUGAR CONTROVERSY.

Mr. Henry c. Mott is the buyer of raw
sugar for the American Sugar Refinery
Co. Some time ago he was appointed
buyer of raw sugar for the international
committee which has charge of that part
Of the food administrator duties which
relate to government control of sugar
We do not know why the other refining
companies of the United States acquiesc-
ed in giving this position to an agent of
their strongest competitor, but they all
agreed to the arrangement. Mr.. Mott
was to purchase and control all the raw
sugar obtainable at a certain fixed price
and parcel it out to the various refinerieS
Reports were from time to time issued
that quantities of sugar were being pur-
chased and promises were often repeated
that economy and patience would soon be
rewarded by a reasonable supply of sugar.
During the last two months it has been
definitely settled that promises will not
sweeten coffee and people began to ask:
Why? When? Is there any inef1iciency in
this branch of our food administratio ton?
and Congress, possibly itself in an I'm
sweetened state of mind, started an in
nestigation to ascertain the cause of the
sugar shortage and to fix the blame there
for, if any exists. Mr. Chas. A. Spreck-
els, President of the Federal Sugar Re-
ilnery Co., has been before the Senate
Investigating committee for three days
and has made some startling charges con-
corning the purchases and contracts, and
also the manner in which the allotments
OF raw sugar have been made. These
charges if true, place Mr. Mott, Mr..
Hoover and perhaps somebody higher I'D
N a bad light and subject to suspicion.
Mr.. H. Curtis Lindley, attorney for Mr..
Hoover, asked the privilege of offering
testimony in defense and said: eff we
cannot explain the Cuban contracts we
are placed on pillory while we are try
ing to solve very difficult situation,
MI Llndley'S apparently reasonable re-
quest was refused by the Senate commit
tee after consultation with Councillor
Phelps of the State department. A few
hours reflection convinced the Senate
committee that this ruling was serious
mistake and it was decided to hear MIR.
Hoover. This was wise decision. The
people are not in the mood to tolerate
trl1llng, evasion or subterfuge. Their
suspicious have been aroused. This
and all other investigations must be
thorough and without fear or favor,
we believe that the sugar situation
has been well managed, but if, un-
fortunately, it is proven that there has
been lncompetency and inefficiency the
bureau of food administration must he

HELP THE RED CROSS.

Ye who sleep peacefully
In quiet homes,
Where no disaster broods,
No terror comes,
Against the hour of doom,
The day of loss,
Now in this Christmas tide,
Help the Red Cross!
Ye who tread joyously
Through flowery ways,
Laughter and song to fill
The long bright days,
For those on beds of pain
Who moan and toss,
Now in this Christmas tide,
Help the Red Cross!
Beggar and priest and king,
For all alike,
In the appointed hour
Gods clock doth strike.
Round the world, DER the sea,
Join hands across!
Now, when Christ comes to we,
Help the Red Cross!

The measure had been referred to

do all in its power to enforce it.
Efforts on the part of the referendum
forces to have the President either veto
or refuse to sign the bill are being
made at the White House this after
noon.

John 3. Colpoys, chairman of the CEN
