 Il can not go into detail regarding this work, but should the young men who are Is be as patriotic as 1 believe they are. if they will see me. will gladly give all the information I now possess
 There Is another phase of this work. If the boys and girls of today are to be real factors in the reconstruction, they must have the foundation laid in high school course For no scien- tific training can be secured until the High School course has been com pleted. T do not mean to say that a person who has not attended a High School cannot secure such training But l do mean that the essential knowledge required in order to mas ter science, must be acquired
 TO this end the National slogan for boys and girls, Go to School has been adopted. Go the full time. Work hard to gain every bit of knowledge possible in the few months of the school year
 Our School year begins Sept. 2 Our plans and possible courses of study will be published next week ir l The News. It is the desire of the fac ulty, with the assistance of the pa irons of the schools, to give the most practical courses this year Win the War is : good motto And we mear to aid in so far as we can by giving courses of instruction that will fit oul young people to enter at an earl, date, the ranks of Men and Womer behind the lines

SHARE OUR SUGAR
 WITH THE ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month. French Pound and Half,
 Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of S~eetenin5 fer Home Preserving Purposea

Amerfca's new sugar ration of two pounds q month per person is equita- ble when compa red with the sugar ras ton enforced by rigid governmental order in England. France and Italy. na- tians with which We are sharing sugar.
 Each Allied nation-in the matter Of sugar consumption--is sharing on near est possible equal terms the hardships imposed by greatly altered conditions ln the world sugar situation.
 Formerly classed as luxury, sugar is now q war time essential. The fair and just division of this essential is in the hands of the various Allied food controllers.
 The United States Food Administra ton has asked this nation to observe a voluntary sugar ration Of two pounds per person month.
 h she other countries al war with Germany sugar is one of the scarce articles on every menu-whether in the households of both rich and poor. or in the hotels.
 England today has a sugar ration of two pounds per month per person. In France the ration is pound and a half and in Italy 1t is one pound a month. And the prices In allied eoun- tries are from two to three times as high as in America.
 If you go to q hotel in England or France these days and order tea or coffee they serve absolutely no sugar with 1t. If you want sugar you must bring it with you.
 In England il is allowable to use one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in the preparation of each luncheon In France many persons carry little sac charine tablets about with them for use in hotels and in England rich and poor must take their sugar with them if they wish to have sweetened tea while visiting friends.
 Before the war started France had 625, ,oo0 acres devoted to sugar produe- tion. By 1917 the French sugar acre age had decreased to 1S0O00 acres Today the French man or woman with 9 sugar card has no assurance whatever that he or she will be able to actually buy sugar To buy 1t. one must first find it

Italy Has "state Sugar.

Especially drastic regulations govern the use of sugar in Italy Its manu- facture. distribution and sale are close ly controlled, and iH part actually taken over by the state.
 Saccharine k permitted to be sold and used as substitute for sugar and the government manufactures a mix ture of saccharine and sugar called State Sugar" which is largely used
 German Sugar Patton Adequate.
 Germany. before tie war. produced a great surplus of sugar and exported large quantities Today the Germans Lave virtually gone out of the export business. but have plenty of cheap sugar for home use.
 Wholesale prices prevalent Tn the Allied nations. according to informa- ton received by the United States Food AdminiSi ration are as follows England. 10 cents pound; France i2 cents Italy. 26 cents
 While these high prices are being oaid abroad the American wholesale price Is bein. held ii 7l2 cents.
