CUBAN HEAD TAKES
STAND OVER SUGAR

Havana. Nov. 19.-President Memo
cal, it is understood, intends to take
stand in favor of the smaller Gu
ban sugar interests for price of "A
cents a pound. free on board at Gu
ban ports. instead of AZ cents as pro-
posed by Herbert c. Hoover, United
States food administrator. In we'll
informed sources It is reported that
he may place an embargo on sugar
exports, no matter what the destina-
ton, il the position Of the small in
terests is not taken into consideration.
The western growers insist that the
basis for fixing the price for a pound
OF sugar should not be the average
cost of production in Cuba, but the
cost Of production at the smaller and
less favorably situated mills.

CRIES FOR FATHER

Tired of adventure out in the cold,
cold weather alone, Dale Redmond,
claiming his residence as Cedar
Springs, Mich. was Saturday after
noon sent back home by the Moline
police.
Several months ago he said he dis
appeared from home. He got as far
west as Nebraska. For while things
went all right and then he got home
sick. He started back and when he
reached Moline he was broke. He ap-
piled to the police for lodging which
was given him and then with tears in
his eyes he plead that his father be
telegraphed for funds. This was also
done and the lad boarded the train
tickled at the thought he was soon tc
be with Dad again.
