Missoula Is, to me, Just like a school
teacher I used to have in the fifth
grade. Her name is Miss Adams.
She Is an ordinary. pretty. young
American OF middle class family, but
perhaps little more quiet and re-
served. She looks more like a small
town music teacher than grade
school teacher. Her clothes are of
good material of conservative style.
and she always wore suit two sea
sons. Her brown hair was always
very smooth. Everything about her
was nice"
On Saturdays she helped her mother
clean up: on Sundays she went to
church and then took a walk in the
afternoon. and on Mondays she got
up early to help with the family wash
ing.
Missouia is such a nice pretty little
city. but IL has no thrill. no colorful =
ness. no sparkle. it's a good. conven

knowledge, or to grow old.
But even when Missoula IL pe,ng
frivolous--even Missoula has carni-
walls and circuses-she looks a little
stiff and strange. She has the air of
looking on at the fun, rather than par
ticipating in it. Just like Miss Adams

REF|NERIES OBJECT
f0PROGRAM0NTAX
United States Is Dominating Fac
~ tor In Worlds Market But
" ". View Of Future Gloomy n.

Point OF view Of the sugar rcfincr on
the proposed legislation on sugar tax.
alton is shown in the following article
which was published in the American,
Sugar Bulletin. n weekly bulletin is
sued by the American Sugar Refining
company.
'''rhe legislative program at Wash
ington has finally made itself felt in
the worlds sugar market. With the
changed conditions brought by the,
European war the United States has
become the dominating influence in the
Worlds sugar market.
There are three proposals at Wash,
ingtoh:
ITO put an, al valorem tax Of
100 additional duty on Imported raws;
, "2--To place half cent pound
excise on all sugars whether domestic
or foreign
"s-To cancel the century old draw.
back privilege Of the duty on exported
refined made from imported raws.
Looking at it from the world IS
market alone the confused legislative
program at Washington means higher
prices Of American refined for Allied
and neutral countries. The cancelling
Of the drawback and the imposition of
an excise tax on exports may mean the
end Of export refined sugars from the
United States. The proposed action
practically establishes an embargo on
refined sugar against the world, which
Of course means no revenue for the gov
eminent. Naturally the refined sugar
heretofore supplied by the United
states to Europe win be drawn from
other, sources, part possible through
other foreign refners and more prob.
ably larger quantities of raws from
Cuba. The withdrawal Of the draw.
back and the imposition of an excise
tax of a half cent a pound would ere
ate differential against the United
States in the worlds markets Of oyei
a cent and a half pound. Such Q
differential of course may temporarily
advance the worlds market On the
other hand il has been argued in Wash
.ington by senators that the worlds
sugar market viii be lowered. That
the action taken is going to affect tht
worlds market Is already apparent. II
should be set down that the actor
taken at Washington is against IL,
advice Of the entire sugar industry o.
the United States, except certain can,
producers. Concentrated buying Of
Cubas would still leave Java as
source Of supply. II is a, long way Z
Java, so far in fact that England hai
not found it attractive OF late. i
would be Interesting il they shifte'
that task temporarily to the Unite'
| States as courteous reply to thu

g But of course, following the uneer
tainties of staple involved in ever!
session Of congress, there may be re
consideration by the Committee, or
vote by the senate, or a comproinis

REF|NERS MUST BUY
SUGAR THEY REQUIRE

\ NEW YORK, July 12-The market
developed strength today and closed
strong, with buyers for Cuban raw
sugar at 5l.c cost and freight, this be.
ing significant of the merit Of the sta
tistical situation. .as y
The simple facts are that refners
need sugar and must buy regardless Of
their inclination to pursue a waiting
policy in the hope Of Washington for
cling lower prices. The holding off has
only postponed the day of reckoning,
for any sharp demand for export or
from the domestic. buyers may force
them into the market and might even
cause new high level for raws. In
the opinion Of some observers, Cuba
controls the situation, and the refusal
reported by Senator Lodge TO meet the
wishes of Washington and fix a price
for raws is not surprising, considering
the circumstances. t .s9.t1t .
II Is pointed out here that the surplus
Of the crop, after allowing for the sugar
already sold to the British commission
and not shipped is not large, whereas,
on the other hand, there Is a demand
from all quarters to be filed. Javas
may attract attention because OF their
cheapncss, but il is question II the
shipping can be spared by the Allies to
bring these sugars to Europe. In fact,
record reports of large purchases IN that
island are rather discredited locally.
There has been decided Improvement
in the export demand that explains IN
part the sudden desire of refners TO
cover with raw sugars, at the close, Ar,
/ buckles and Howells being credited
with large purchases at Sic, and nc
sellers now at that figure. Business has
been done at 6.90c in bond for round
lots, South American taking graduated
with the Argentine said TO be IN the
market for $4,000 tons. Other neutral
countries need supplies, but the embargo
may interfere with shipment IN some
eases. .. t..1t

to have been increasing but this year
they are particularly bad all over the

Grains Small and Uneven and Too
Large Quantities Of Sui
phate Of Lime Found
lAlail special % The Advertiserl

LIHEE, July 23--I.ast Saturday eve
hing meeting Of the chemists and
sugar boilers &C gauai was held in Ii,
rue at which Dr. Robert s. Norris,
from the Experiment Station, was
present aud gave talk on his trip to
the refineries in the cast.
As Is well known, the eastern re-
finers who now take the Hawaiian su.
gars have complained that Hawaiian
sugars are not up to the standard of
Cuban sugar for refinery purposes. The
complaints have been very Indifferent
and contradictory In nature and for
the purpose Of finding out definitely
just what was wrong Doctor Norris
went east.
Too Much Lime sulphate =.
The most common complaint of the
'rcfineries was the average smallness
and back Of uniformity in the size Of
the sugar grains The next most com
mon complaint, and probably the most
serious, is the presence of such a large
amount of sulphate of lime. This
forms heavy scale on the evaporators
and greatly cuts down on the output.
The first complaint Is one that can
be rather easily corrected as apparent
" all that is necessary IS TO increase
the pan capacity and take little more
care IN boiling. Already at least two
factories, Waialua and Eva, are pro
ducing sugar very much superior TO
Cuban sugar, in size Of grain, and fully
as good IN regard 20 uniformity of size.
The second complaint is not so easily
corrected, If IL can be at all. 1t is a
subject which will require considerable
thought and experimentation If a so,
luton is TO be obtained. One particu'
lar point brought out by Doctor Norris
Is the apparent unsoundness of the
practise Of using low grade products
for seed grain. In a study of methods
used in Cuban factories, out of twelve
factories not one uses anything but
first massecuit for seed. This may pos
sibly help if adopted here. =. '|t. e.
II is gratifying to note that there
has already been marked improve
ment in the quality of Hawaiian su
gars. In fact so great has been thu
Improvement and so well satisfied arr
the refneries that already there hai

governed mainly by the figure ut which
foreign sugar can be imported. On
account of the high cost of sugar in all
countries and the present level of
oecan freight rates, the retail price is
two or three times higher than in nor
nal years. Current production being
less than the domestic consumption,

SHOWERS ARE HELP
TO YOUNG CROPS ON
T. HAWAII, SAY GROWERS

Showers which are reported to have
fallen pretty generally over Hawaii the
latter part of last week have brought
some relief to agriculturists on the Big
Island and have helped grow vegetables,
but have not been, sufficient to mate
rally benefit the cane growers, unless
they mark the real breaking of the
drought. While it is fortunate that the
present crop was well advanced before
the drought was felt, it has had some
effect lon the next year crop and a
greater effect still on the very young
cane. 81 n. - F., .'s.
An interview with a cane grower,
published in the Hilo Post, tells of con-
ditions in various parts of Hawaii that
are at best threatening, II says; -

did rain Is general throughout the
island--if only the report is true said

from being a satisfactory one. III this

would have been tremendous loss in

there will be a noticeable difference.

names to those who have attained emil
nence as scientists. Recently we re-
corded the obituary honors accorded
to FIR. Faurie, P. F. NJ, a noted botan-
ist in Japan. The "Jaffna Guardian"

eve regret to observe chronicled in
our Australian exchanges the death, at
the early age of forty-three, of the
Rev. A. J. Shaw, M. S. H., who has
done splendid work in wireless telegra-
ply. Born in Australia, the deceased
priest, before entering the priesthood,
was in the telegraph department of
the Post Office in New South Wales.
During his priesthood he invented
what is known as the Shaw wireless
telegraph system, which has it's works

MISSION NOTES.

An acknowledgment of favors re
ceived comes from Bishop d. Vismara
of Deccan, India, in these words:
I'VE owe a great debt of gratitude
to the American Catholics and clergy;
they have been very kind and gener.
GUS towards us, especially during this
war. They are helping us to go on
with our work, and with their dona.
tons we are even able to extend our
field. The movement towards our
holy Faith, especially in the Kistna
District, is really extraordinary; entire
villages come to us and ask for bap-
tism."
The advantage to be derived from
Catholic instruction is beginning to be
recognized even by, pagans. Japan's
schools conducted by religious, are
crowded with on-Christian pupils
The Superior of st. Mary's Presenta.
ton Convent at Peshawar, India, also
writes:
"Our school is very well attended by
Catholics, Professionals and Parsees, the
last a very well-behaved class of ma.
tives, most docile and obedient and ex-
tremely studious. They generally
adopt European manners"
Rev. John A. Lynch, G. IS. r., states
that there are six Redemporists in his
mission at Mayaguez, Southwest coast
of Porto Rico, and that everything is
