a time of heavy responsibility for
some of us. We are looking forward
into the uncertainties of the future,

woes to mankind. "Ominous though
the situation may seem, there always

forced into the conflict. 1t is now, as
1t has been from the beginning, the
wish and endeavor of this government
to remain at peace with all the world

SUGAR CONDITIONS
CONTINUE ACUTE
But BY Not Attempting to Lay n
Large supply Public Can Guard
Against Any Family Lacking.

Sugar conditions in Eastern cities,
including Richmond, are at an acute
stage and there Is no doubt that In
every family there must be the most
economical use of this necessity.
However. II purchasers do not attempt
to buy heavily. fearing future scare
ity. there is no reason why each
should not have sufficient for its le-
Ultimate demands.
There is absolutely no excuse for
any increase in price as the retailers
are furnished their stock at agreed
prices, which enable them to sell at
around nine to ten cents the pound.
Any unreasonable price should be
promptly reported to the stats food
administrator, who will take suitable
action in connection with the federal
food administration. While the law
gives no direct control over retailers,
still the power of public sentiment
can he promptly invoked.
The reason for the present short
age Is very apparent. The American
consuming public has not reduced Its
consumption, while there has been
large expectation to European coun-
tries, especially France, where the
sugar shortage has long been serious.
1t win probably be month before
new crop conditions will relieve the
situation here appreciably.
