has been said will not amount to
more than cent q pound.
Neither the exact date on which
he new price will become effective.
nor what the new price will be has
been determined. The price difficulty
which this action is designed to meet
resulted from the overlapping OF Gu.
ban sugar and domestic sugar in the
market The Food Administration
has agreed with domestic producers
hat an increase of price was justified
on the new crop.
lnrough THIS pan the extra pront
which would otherwise accrue to the
rehners, who bought at the old prices
and would sell on the basis of the

BETTER BAND MUSIC
TO INSPIRE TROOPS
r'r. Oamrosch, Backed by Gen. PERISH
ing Funds Big Training School
For Americans.

Paris. Aug. 23.--One by-product
OF this war which will OF benefit
to all parts of America will he better
music Il will grow out Of the fact
that 10000 band musicians will go'
home to the United States after hos
tilitIes with more knowledge Of and
enthusiasm for music than they ever
had before This will be cause of
their throughgoing artistic training
in France. plans for which have just
been perfected by Walter Damrosch
At the request OF General Pershing.
Or. Damrosch was about TO return
% America early in July. when Gen
eral Pershing appealed to him TO do
something TO improve the army
music Dr. Damrosch accepted this
opportunity to serve the American
troops. and today he outlined to me a
big comprehensive plan approved by
General Pershing in which leading
French band leaders and players Will
serve as instructors to the Ameri-
cans. Cooperation in the matter has
1een authorized both by the French
Ministry OF War because of the vital
influence OF music on good military
morale, and by the French Ministry
Of Fine Arts. because OF the oppor
unity offered for highgrade propa.
yanda by introducing French band
methods to the American public after
; he war.
For immediate army purposes, of
course. the whole thing is Justified
on the score of military efficiency.
General Pershiug recognizes the vital
part of music in warfare; so French
musicians are to teach the Americans
for exactly the same reason that
French artillery and aviation experts
have been training American soldiers.
Hence the appeal Of General Pershing
to DR.. Damrosch
| As Congress had authorized the Civ.
ing OF commissions to army bandmas.
ters. General Pershing desired that
the 200 American bandmasters in
France be examined before they re-
ceived commissions DR. Damrosch
agreed to devote FIVE weeks to this
work. A military band was accord

DAMAGE BY eRAssHoPPERs
Addison County Is Being Hard Hit BY
Scourge.


Middlebury. Aug. 23.-The grasshop
per scourge is being felt heavily in
some of the western towns OF Addison
county and County Agent |. n. Bart
lett has been hard at work this week
putting out poison on several farms TO
try and rid them OF the pest. Poison
ed bran was used on three fields Of
corn totaling about 80 acres.
Mr.. Bartlett states that the pests
attack a field Of corn and strip the
leaves from the stalk to the tip, leav-
ing nothing but the mid ?rlb OF the
leaf. They then attack the silk at the
tip OF the ear and eat down into the
ear and eat the tassels as well.
II the present weather conditions
continue for another week with no
rain to kiln off some OF the hoppers
many OF the corn and grain fields in
the town OF Addison and Panton will
be ruined.
On the farm OF Amos Bodette in Ad
olson the graSshoppers have ruined
between 500 and 900 bushels OF grain.
They have also attacked the pastures
and in some instances cleaned IL
everything in the shape Of feed and
the farmers are compelled to feed
more grain. Everything of green
nature is covered with grasshoppers.
The pest is said to be the worst since
1860.
