FIXING SUGAR PRICES.

One sugar refiner says we could get plenty of sugar if allowed to pay the price and there are those who claim that we can get plenty of coal if we will pay the price, but that is where the trouble lies in the unjustiied jack ing up of the price, which it is main tained is unnecessary and the whole trouble might just as we'll be fought out on that basis It comes a little hard on the consumer but he should be the gaiuer in the end. The prac- tice of profiteering might just as well be ended now.
 Mir Spreclleis says that sugar we could have had has been going to Canada. We know that thousands Of tons /of sugar which we had have been sent to France. We permitted the shipments across the water to take care of the wants of those who were far worse off than we were, or than we were likely to be.
 What would have happened if the sugar refners had been allowed to pay any price which they desired in order to get raw sugar? There would have been grand scramble to tie up a1I available supplies sby constantly increasing offers There are those who would have done their utmost to have cornered the trade but even if that was not possible the consumer can see himself paying all sorts ot fabulous prices for the sweetening for his cof- fee He has had plenty of experience in this direction and sugar after the series Of boosts would have been just IS difficult to get as it is now for the poor man. The price fixing shut off the profits as it was intended Not withstanding Mir. Spreckels we cannot see but what Mir. Hoover was right. The consumer certainly hasn't been gouged and he hasn't really suffered. He has had to meet an unusual situa- ton but he is better off for it.

WHEN HENRY WISHED TO FISH

q wouldn't mind anything else" confided the bride, If only Tom was not so inconsistent! I never can count on him! First he'll like thing and then he won't! Do they all act that way?"
 sistent," counseIed the woman who had been married for some time, you should send for the doctor in a hurry. because Tom will be a sick man! No normal man is consistent. That's why they always, like to talk big and try to wish the trait off on US poor women. My goodness! If we women weren't consistent the world would blow up from topsy- -turveydom Now. if a woman likes thing you can trust her to like it night or day. down south or on Alaska's chilly shores, young or old! Take my re- cent experience with Henry and wa ter. for instance!"
 "W-water?" stanfnered the bride, perplexed.
 "Uh-huh," said her long married friend. Water. in the form of lakes and rain and puddles!
 "It was when we dashed out into the country to put things to right in the summer cottage for the winter and to enjoy the crisp October ai- and beautiful foliage. We found they were still using the same old sunime,
 
 short on the crisp air, because it had been raining ten days before we ar rived never stopped while we were there and it's a safe bet that the rain is falling there now in exactly the same whole sou1ed systematic way. "When our protracted sojourn in the house eventually got on my nerves suggested tramping a quarter of a mile and calling on some other cottagers Henry looked at me in a mild sort of plying way and shook his head tc himself. Then he began to speak. Great guns, he said. What would become of me if he wasn't there tc restrain my foolish impulses? Did I recollect that it was raining. Would take the trouble to glance outdoors
 and witness the squashy earth, the bounding rivulets, the soaking driz- gle? Did I fancy for an instant he was going to risk my precious life by letting me go out in that an maybe have pneumonia?

 dued after his outburst. I felt that l
 had misjudged Henry and that he still cared for. me thrillingly, just as he did when we were on our wedding trip. It was exactly one hour later when Henry yawned and dropped his read ing. He poked the lire and he locke d out of doors Saud yawned again. He
 said he believed he'd like to go fishirN' even if 1t were raining and with hS rubber boots and mackintosh and sou'wester hat he'd be perfectly snug Only he didn't have any minnows. I sympathized with him. It was too bad, Henry proceeded, that the only available other man on the place h.9 Henry regarded me with beaming g eyes. Say, had on stout shoes and had helped handle a seine before didn,t I suppose l could help him 1t wasn't raining so terribly hard and Of course all I'd have to do was walk along the shore line and hang onto that end of the seine while he got out in the water in his wading boots!
 "1n a daze, I obeyed I squealed when I got to the shore line. There wasn't any shore line; it was all lake
 l1ne. The beach was a quicksand ! when I withdrew my foot there would be a 'plop!' that smote the air. If it 1 wasn't quicksand it was a mat of weeds, into which I would sink with a low. gurgling sound, I know just how the soldiers feel when the trench l es are two feet high with water and they have to stick it out!
 When I departed Henry was en- gagged in exclaiming fondly over his Shivering minnows. I swan home Next year they'll find a bounding lit tie brook still sweeping down my trail wrung myself out and sopped myself up and shook water all over the liv- ing room like a puppy dog that has been rescued from the rain barrel ] never hope to be wetter in my life Yet it had been impossible to consid 1 CT tramping down a cinder road tc l make a caIi!"

STORIES OF THE WAR
Attaekina the Pill Boxes.
Correspondence of The Associated Press.)

Correspondence of The ASSoclafed PTess.)
 The business of attacking the Ger man pill boxes has been reduced al- most to a mathematical science by the British army. Pill boxes which are not done in" by the big guns in the preliminary bombardment are rushed by the infantry and grenade is drop ped through one of the loop holes. An attack on a little section or German line a few days ago illustrat- ed the antipill box technique The attack was made under desperate through the mems drenched clothing and heavy rain drops stung their 1umbed faces. The line of craters and shell holes which the advanced Brit ish troops held was thigh deep in water and mud, while sections of the hastily raised sand-bag parapet kept slipping down as the sodden earth gave way: The waiting men were al- most deafened by the overhead blast of the artillery drumfife. The orders of the officers could hardly be heard a few feet away and had to be shout ed down from crater to crater along the irregular line.
 The men had been ready for a long depends upon the guns, and every thing must wait for them to finish off their work.
