2,OC0,O00 TONS OF SUGAR NEEDED
 BY GI. BRITAIN

Correspondence Associated Press, The Hague, Netherlands, March a. Europe will need no less than g. oo0,Oo0 tons of sugar from overseas
 in 1917. Where is it to come from.
 asks Dr. H. C. Prinzen Geerligs. leading Dutch authority.
 communicating in the Indian Mcr- cury the results of careful inquiry
 into Europe's sugar problem, IS created by the war. this expert ar
 rlyes at the conclusion that the pre- Valllng sugar scarcity probably will become still more pronounced in the near future. It is already certain that the 1916-17 European crop will be a disappointing one. and that in general it has not yielded enough to allow Of an unlimited consumption even in the countries of production, regardless of the possibility of any The estimates for Germany do not put the yield at more than 100000 tons, or only enough for moderate economical consumption. In Austria Hungary the production is large enough for normal consumption
 None of the European-producin, countries have anything to export, whereas France, Italy Switzerland, Norway and Russia are likely to need more or less large imports. Great Britain is entirely dependent on over- sea countries for it's sugar Putting the British import requirements ;n 1917 at 100000 tons, France needs at 100000 and the import require ments of the other countries nam ed at 100000 tons, total is arrived at of 2,0O0,OOo tons.
 Dr. Prinsen Georligs concludes that Britain will be mainly dependent fo&: it's supplies on the United States, Cuba and Java. In Java the crop has turned out very well, yielding 1,617,- 900 tons of sugar or about 300,000 tons more than in the preceding year The area planted for 1917 has been somewhat extended, and the pros- poets of the next crop gre very good, so that about 1,600,O0o tons may be again expected.
 In 1916, Cuba and the United States together sent 1,4S9,446 tons of raw ouSo1 IO Lul ulOPC, cAAO JdN olllppCA over 500,000 tons to the same desti- nation, these countries alone provided last year an amount equal to the present estimated needs.
 The crops in the United States, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip pines, are, altogether, a little larger than the previous year. Sugar con- sumption in the United States in 1916 was somewhat less than in 1915, while the Cuba crop for 1917 is ex- pected to be larger than that of 1916. There will thus be certainly as large, and probably larger surplus avail able in the western hemisphere thal last year, and if adequate cargo space and shipping facilities are available to bring it safely across, oversea countries will be in position to fully meet Europe's requirements.
 The great question lii 1917 thus re- solves itself into one of transport, concludes this sugar authority.

EXTEND USE OF
 ELECTRIC AUTOS

Disabuse your mind of the popular impression that an electric automo- bile is capable of city travel only. Cold facts demand that. Hundreds of suburban dwellers are now using cleo tries for long trips and for short tours as well.
 G. D. Fairgrieve, vice president and general sales manager of the Ander- son Electric Car company, makers of Detroit Electric, says that the day will soon come when electric charging stations will be found along the country highways at the same places where there now are gasoline and oil stations. Then, he adds, there will be no reason why an electric car will not make the finest machine possible for trancontinental tour.
 "Our dealers are finding daily" said MT: Fargrieye, "that the only thing which prevents many suburban resi- dents from using an electric is the transformation, which is current, to the effect that one cannot drive out side the city with an electric car. De- trolt Electrics have mileage of 80 to go miles on single charge, and they will travel country road as easily as city pavement.
 "Last summer we tested several cars in several cities of the country, sending stock models on long coun- try runs on single charge. We in- vlted the public to witness. these rides and took several passengers. The re- suit was change of thought on the part of several hundred"

BETSY ROSS SOCIETIES.
Movement Launched to Organize
 School hildren of United States.

Meridian, Miss, April 14.-A move ment to organize the school children of the United States in nationwide
 patriotic Betsy Poss societies, taking their name from the woman who, at the suggestion of George Washing ton, made the first American flag adopted by congress, has been started in this city. Originators of the plan believe it will spread throughout the country and that the national head quarters will be established in Me- ridian.
 The purposes of the societies as de- fined by James A. Metcalf, of this city, are to mobilize the children of this country into a union that would inculcate patriotism through the mak- ing of American flags for local, school or other uses, to foster participation
 in Flag Day celebrations, make the children feel they have part in the national events now transpiring, and to counteract alien tendencies in the United States, especially among chil-
 dren of foreign born citizens by in-
 stilling lessons of loyalty. The or ganization also is intended as a mem- orial to Elizabeth Griscom Ross, mak- CT of the first American flag.
 The movement has the cordial sup port of the local organizations of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and societies are being
 formed among the school children of Meridian.

Glass. Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid, Habit
Open slulees of the system each
morning and wash away tho
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of US who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when we
arise; splitting headache, stuffy
from cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach, lame back,
can, instead, both look and feel as
fresh as a daisy always by washing
the poisons and toxins from the
body with phosphated hot water
each morning.
We should drink, before break
fast, a glass of real hot water with
teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it to flush from the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of
bowels the previous days indiges-
tible waste, sour bile and poisonous
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract before putting more food into
the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but little while un-
til the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate will cost very little
at the drug store, but is sufficient
to make anyone who is bothered
with biliousness, constipation, stom-
ach trouble or rheumatism real
enthusiast on the subject of internal
sanitation. Try it and you are as
sured that you will locke better and
feel better in every way shortly

PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION.
Entire City Turns Out for Loyalty
Parade.

Edgerton's demonstration of loyalty
on Friday afternoon is one of the events
that is deserving to be recorded in the
history of our city, for practically bus
mess was suspended and the whole
town turned out to do honor to the
flag and tender its support to the ma
tion in the present crisis. The atten-
dance from the country was 80 much
larger than was expected that all idea
of holding the program in the hall was
abandoned and speaking took place
from the street where two or three
thousand people crowded about to lis
ten.
The parade headed by the band and
drum corps, veterans of the civil and
Spanish-American wars, recruits re-
Gently enlisted, detachment of Co. M
GAINESVILLE and Fort Atkinson militia,
fire department, Woman's Relief Corps,
women's clubs, w. c. T. u, public
schools, T. A. & B. society, Masonic
order and citizens generally spread out
over three blocks long and numbered
nearly two thousand. The martial
music, waving of flags and the cheer
ing along the line of march quickened
the pulse and stirred the enthusiasm of
every one. The parade was halted at
the bank corner where Capt. Caldwell
gave few minutes drill of his detach-
ment. From an improvised stand on
the street Mayor Conway gave short
speech of introduction before announc-
ing the program. This included music
by the High School Glee Club, an ad-
dress by Mrs. F. J. Williams on What
the Flag Means to Women" Next
Atty. L. E. Gettle gave rousing
speech in which he outlined the various
causes that led to the wars our nation
has been engaged in. He said the
present struggle is war of democracy
against autocracy which he believed
the common people of Germany would
be glad to rid themselves of. This will
be fought for humanity and it is their
rights as we'll as ours.
Prof. F. o. Holt also delivered an in
spring, patriotic address, appealing to
the duty of every American to stand
by the government in times of national
peril.

I,eaeue Contest.

The annual league contest in declam-
alton and oratory will be held at the
high school building on Friday night of
this week.
The schools represented in the con-
test will be Stoughton, Edgerton, Fort
Atkinson, Whitewater and Jefferson.
The winner of each contest will repre-
sent the league in the district contest
to be held at Whitewater on Friday of
next week.
Beatrice Holton won the local contest
but owing to the death of her grand
mother will not take part, and Nyria
Gile will represent Edgerton in the
league contest in defamation, while to
Sylvester Burdick falls the duty of rep
resenting Edgerton in the oratorical
contest.
The contests will begin at 1880 O. clock.
A large attendance from visiting schools
always prevails and it is to be hoped
that the citizens of Edgerton will very
generously support so worthy cause
as that of Friday night. Public speak
ing affairs are scantily patronized in
Edgerton. The contest of Friday night
should draw record attendance.
