Sugar Prices Expected to Drop
When County Goes on Beet Diet

Richmond and Wayne county soon
will be on beet sugar diet.
Beginning the first Of November,
Richmond grocery jobbers have been
notified by the Federal Food Control
board, the middle west will be de-
prived of cane sugar until the new
Cuban sugar crop Is marketed, some
time after the first of next year. This
section of the country Is to be sup
piled, in the interim, with beet sugar
from the producers in Michigan and
northern Indiana and northern Ohio.
This means that when the present
supplies of soft, powdered and loaf
sugars In Wayne county are exhaust
ed there will be none of these varieties
available until the next crop of cane
sugar Is harvested, because only gran
ulated sugar is made Of beets.
Must Have Licenses.
Richmond jobbers have also been
notified that on and after November
/ they will be obliged to procure fed
eral licenses to handle sugar. Each
license will be issued by the Food Con-
troll Commission for period of one
month To secure renewal of license
the jobber must submit complete list
of his sales and the prices obtained
during the period Of his expired
license.
If the commission is satisfied, after
examination of such report, that the
jobber has made his sales at author
ized rates and has made no effort to
hoard his stock, than his license Is re-
newed for another thirty days.
Under the ruling of the Food Con-
troll Commission the jobber will be
able to secure beet sugar from the
producer at price one and a halt

TEBBETTS QUITS POST AS
MISSION BOARD SECRETARY

George H. Moore, chairman of the
American Friends Board OF Foreign
Missions, in addressing the Five Years
Meeting at the forenoon session an
nounced the retirement Of Rev. Char
les E. Tebbetts as general secretary
of that board.
Moore also announced that Tebbetts
would be succeeded by Ross Hadley of
Richmond, who has been assistant sec
retary for the last two years.
Rev. Mr. Tebbetts has resided at
Whittier, Calf, for the last year and
as the general offices Of the foreign
board are located in Richmond
he has found that it would be impossi-
BILE for him to continue to devote his
entire time and attention to the work.
Christ Only Hope.
One of the most interesting address
es the meeting has yet heard was de-
livered by Rev. Mr.. Tebbetts Wednes-
day morning. He discussed the war
and its causes and declared that no
other hope now remained to the world
except Jesus Christ.
The world war is not accidental, in
the opinion of Rev. Mr.. Tebbetts. 1t
is the natural result of the evolution
OF the most complex civilization In the
worlds history, the speaker declared.
He said complete missionary pro-
paganda both abroad and in this coun-
try was the one vital need in this most
critical period Of world history. Ma
tional and racial antagonisms and COM
mercial expansion were the three prin-
cipal causes of the world war, Rev. Mr.
Tebbetts declared.
Change In Lifetime.
He pointed out that complete in
dustrial revolution has taken place in

the world during the lifetime of that
venerable member of the Society of
Friends, Timothy Nicholson, and, he
asserted, that world has now passed in
to Its most complicated civilization,
With Industrial revolution has come
commercial expansion, which in turn
developed more intense racial and ma
tional antagonisms and class hatred.
Since 1880 all the great inventions
which have revolutionized civilization
have been developed, and there has
been steady increase in the worlds
population. Industrial centers have
recruited from the scattered communi-
ties for trade expansion purposes
"A strike was unknown in Timothy
Nicholson's boyhood. Today they are
of common occurrence" said the
speaker. He also pointed out how
modern inventions have broken down
century-old racial barriers and have
brought the nations of the world close
together-so close that the Chinese Ia
borer working for five cents a day is

BRITISH INFANTRY HELD IN
TRENCHES WHILE GUNS WORK

Field Marshal Haig is still keeping
his infantry in their trenches on the
Flanders front while the heavy bonn
bardment Of the German lines con-
tinues. His report today throws little
additional light on the probabilities OF
an early resumption of the British at

successful British raid on the Arras
battle front near Gaverelle.
There has been infantry fighting on

onvaux but met with a repulse. The
artillery battle is still spirited In much
OF the Verdun area and on the Aisne
front along the Chemin-des-Dames.
Air fighting between French and
German machines has been unusually
intense in the last few days and to-
days Paris statements indicate little
let up in the marked activity on both
sides. So FAR this week SO German
machines have been driven down by
the French, some Of them destroyed
and some OF them badly damaged
The Germans have picked the town
Of Nancy as the particular objectives
of the latest bombing raid They Wis
tied it again in force last evening, 80
machines taking part on the attack.
Some casualties among the civilian
population are reported. French air
men carried out numerous raids on en-
emy objectives.

CHRISTMAS TREE
CROP is SHORT

There will be few Christmas trees
in Richmond this year.
Old Mr. War has helped to frighten
away another little sentiment which
make life worth while.
The dearth Of pine trees is said by.
dealers to be due to two reasons.
The first is that fires in the north
west have laid waste q vast area of
promising trees and the second is that
tonnage cannot be diverted to bringing
trees from Norway and Sweden.
