SIX JUMPS SUGAR
 BIRTHDAY GIFT

q lad a birthday last week." wrote an English woman to friend i'll America, "and one of the presents that I most appreciated was six Jumps of sugar It meant that could have so many more cups of tea that enjoyed and that some one had denied herself that much for me-"
 This letter did not come from the slums: it was written by a woman of wealth.
 One-half pound of sugal was al lotted person a week to the families of England recently in the plans of the food controller of Great Britain. This allowance amounts to 26 pounds a year per capita, against the aver age individual yearly consumption in the United States of over S5 pounds.
 The United States food aiministra- ton n it's work of increasing and conserving the food supply in this country sufficiently to meet the needs of our allies as well as our own, is asking everyone to economize in the use of sugar.
 Before the war France, Italy and Belgium produced as much sugar as they used, while England was sup piled largely by what is now an en. emy nation. The production in France and Italy is running short while England is cut off from about 70 per cent of the usual importation.
 That means that those three coun. tries must, even with the stringent rulings that prevail there, draw 2, 000,000 tons of sugar from the same sources that send ours.
 We must divide with them and the necessity for economy on our part is obvious. In this country We are not subjected to such restrictions as have become necessary in Europe; oul economy is entirely voluntary. :.
 Here are few simple rules. ;. II everyone in America followed then carefully there would be no danger o1 sugar famine.
 1. Eat no candy between meals. 2. Eliminate sweet drinks. 's 3. For hot cakes and watfles us, honey, maple syrup, jams, jellies' ol preserves instead of butter and sugar 1. Use less sugar in tea and coffee ,. Have describes day eacl 1 week.
 6. Lessen your use of cake.

NEGRO PREACHER
 FINALLY RESIGNS
Dr. w. J. E. Cox Acts as Peacemakcr in Controversy in Negro
 Congregation.

The battle is over. Peace has again been restored and the "bolsheviki" of the West Eighth Avenue (colored, Baptist church has been overthrown. The 'revolutionists" are now in com plete control and Pastor J. W. Me Crary, leader of the "bo!sheviki forces" has announced his intention of giving up" the pulpit.
 Dr. w. J. K. Cox, pastor of the First Baptist church was called into con- sultation by Chancellor J. M. Elliott, supreme authority at the temple of peace" and was vested with full au- thority to act in settling the contro- versy which has brought the negroes of the congregation of the Wcs. Eighth Avenue church into promi- hence recently. and which has af- forded much amusement for local people Dr.. Cox can now add the name "peace-maker" to his accom- plishments, and his executive and diplomatic ability in the handling of controversies can now be likened unto that of the famous Teddy"
 Some time ago the revolutionary
 faction of the congregation Of this church rose up and demanded the resignat ton of Pastor McCrary, who refused to vacate his pulpit. At the next meeting of the church, when the pastor began his sermon, he was l1- l terrupted by the songs of members o1 the 'trevolutionists." Straightway, the Rev. McCrary laid his Bible down and joined in the songs, resuming his ser mon when tie singing ceased. Mem bers of the opposition then demanded | that he leave the pulpit and the pas tor replied with the remark that he had the majority with him, and tna i he couldn't be put out of his offlce ] His friends stood By him and a rio' was prevented only by the interven 1 tion of local officers, who placed .ths minister under arrest. At the trlal O. 1 :McCrarv in police court he was finet S1O, but appealed the case. He wal l also tried in the court of Justice O ] the Peace C. c. Brewster, who ac ouitted the minister and sent him ant his brethren on their way. Members
 of the revolution" then secured al
 injunction against McCrary. prohibit ing him from occupying his pulp1
 until the matter could be definitel!
 settled. Chancellor Elliott then ap
 pointed Dr. Cox as administrator O
 affairs, with full power to act. ant
 Dr., Cox called meeting of the con
 gregation Tuesday night.
 It was suggested by Dr. Cox tha
 a. council be named, to be compose' J of the ministers of the various loca
 colored Baptist churches, and tha | the matter be argued before this coun
 cil, This suggestion met with the ap proval of the "revolutionists," but tn
 "bolsheyiki'' leader would not consen
 to such an arrangement. A vote wa
 then taken on the question of whethe
 or not the pastor should renalns an 1 the members of the revolution" out
 numbered the "bolsheviki" faction. tn
 vote standing 5e to 58. Pastor Mc
 Crary then stated that he woul
 tender his resignation. saying tha
 he wouldn't stay with the congrega
 tion, anyway.
 And so the quarrel has been brough to a successful close without a she ] being fired or drop of blood beln
 shed.
