LESS SUGAR BEING USED.
Consumption in 1915 Was Only 1918
Pounds Per Capita.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-America' s
sugar consumption In 1915 was less
than in any year since 1912. accord
ing to estimates today by the depart
ment of commerce. Heavy exports
and lighter imports coupled with a
poor American crop, kept the per
capita consumption to 1913 pounds
against S4.06 the year before and
1914 in 1914. The worlds produc-
ton declined last year more than
four billion pounds.
These conditions are blamed by
department officials for the present
high prices of sugar.
The United States in 1916 became
for the first time one of the big sugar
exporting nations. selling 1855, 5000
600 pounds. It's own imports shrunk
466.OOO,OOO pounds. OF the worlds
output the United States despite the
shortage consumed a larger per-
centage than the year before. 1t took
25 per cent of the total crop against
90 per cent. in 1915.

With prices of foodstuffs and all
other necessities of life soaring to
unprecedented heights, is behooves
every citizen to Hooverize-nine-
tenths because they realize Hoover
izing is the surest way to make ends
meet, and the other tenth because it
is patriotic duty for the people of
the country, who are still provided
with plenty, to husband the nations
resources for the successful prosecu-
ton of the war at home and abroad.
A comparison of the list of prices
which prevail today with those of ev-
en- year ago-when 1t seemed costs
could not go much higher-shows
that there has been marked advance
in all products. Nor is it reasonable
to expect that any great falling off in
prices will occur during the period Of
the war The government, by direct
action, can force down prices in some

proprietor of the Staunton Hotel, was
arrested today by Michael Fitzgerald,
a special agent of the department of

Marshal Frank Albert.
Gehrig is a German and one Of the
I. w. w. who we're indicted recently

several weeks ago from Washington,
D. C. Since that time he has been out
of the city, returning today.
He speaks good English, is 80
years old, married, and has one child
His wife visited him at the Jail soon

which he had. The money was de-
posted in her name and amounted
to more than $4,000. Gehrig refused

instances, but 1t Is absurd, in the face
of the economic situation in the world
to look for any considerable change to
the advantage of the consumer. About
all the government can do is to pre-
vent boarding, imitation and specu-
lation.
AS a consequence of this situation
more people are reading the newspap-
er advertisements today than ever be-
fore in the history of the newspaper
business. They are looking for the
"best bargains" The grocer who can
undersell his competitor cents at
any given point, all other conditions
being equal, gets the business. The
housewives are scanning the ads OF
the grocery and dry goods houses as
a part of their campaign to keep
down the cost of living; and the men
of every city are profiting by femin-
inc shopping tricks for the same pur-
pose.
One peculiar effect of the war has
been to bring the dealer and the con-
sumner closer together in their trade
lationship-closer, probably, than
ever before. The war also has empha.
sized the Importance of the newspap-
er which reaches the public as an adj
vertising medium.

1T WILL be discouraging to those
who believe in the innocence of Tom
Mooney, the California bomb-murder-
er, to read of the acquittal of Oxman.
But so much was depending upon the
conviction of Oman, who was the
chief witness against Mooney, that
little hope can be held out for Moon
ey's life. Those who have watched
the trials of these men say they have
been thorough and fair. But we be-
lieve that, Notwithstanding the ac-
quittal of Oxman, justice would be
satisfied by the Imprisonment of Tom
Mooney rather than to carry out the
death sentence imposed. If he is guilty
there is no punishment that can be
too severe, but the very nature Of the
case suggests a possibility Of mis-
take, and that the presence of such
a possibility makes death sentence.

MEXICO RETALIATES

Mexico is especially peeved because
the United States has placed. an en-
barge upon gold, forbidding the ship
ment of gold from that country ex-

Now Mexico refused to accept Am
erican bills, silver coin or drafts upon
the United States in payment for fed
eral taxes and duties, and has issued
a decree demanding the immediate re-
shipment to Mexico of all gold and
silver ore or concentrates that have
been shipped out by the mining men
of that country. The inference is that
in case this coin metal is not return
ed there will be a confiscation of Am
ica-owned mining properties.
The Mexican situation is like Ban

TELLS CONSTITUENTS THE
REASON WE ARE AT WAR
international News Servicel


WASHINGTON, Oct 2-Represen-
tative Jacob E. Meeker, of st. Louis,
has demonstrated to his colleagues
that it is not absolutely necessary
that congress be adjourned in order
that constituents might learn the
why and wherefore the United States
is at war with Germany, and just
why it is that every loyal citizen is
so earnestly supporting the president.
A short time ago he made up his
mind to conduct a literary campaign
on the subject. He obtained $4,000
copies of "How the War Came to
America" and 1.-THE War Message and
the Facts Behind it," He procured
copy of the st. Louis directory. With
the aid of three extra clerks and his
sleeves up, his collar off and a big
pitcher of ice water near, he started
