THE PRIMARY ELECTION

According to the official figures
Governor +. L. Philip has been
nominated by plurality Of less
than 300 votes. He carried %
counties as against 30 for Wilcox
and l6 for Tittemore. His strength
lay in Milwaukee and other coun-
ties where the German element
predominated. And even in Mil
waukee county his plurality of
more than 10000 in 1916 was cut
to little more than 5000. And in
the state his plurality Of nearly
10000 was cut to less than 500.

SO his endorsement has been far
from popular.
AS to our stand we have no
apologies to make. We regret his
denomination, but in no wise re-
gret our opposition to him. We
must abide by the result, if not
satisfied. Ours was a fight on
principle and with like reasons we
would oppose him again. The
same is true of any other candi-
date who offends in like manner.
We have at least demonstrated
ourselves as not unlike other men
in the springs Of action.

The supply Of raw sugar in tho

1t is noteworthy tribute to the
domestic refining industry which
will be better appreciated the
more the events Of the last two
years are studied.
Domino Package Sugars have
been of great value in the wider
and more even distribution Of
sugar.
"A barrel holds $50 pounds Of
loose sugar. all Of which usually
goes to one grocer. 1t has been
posi- e to ship practically the
same amount of package sugar in
three 120-pound cases TO three
different srocers.
The grocer has been able to
handle these Domino Cane Sugars

small cotton bags. thus tending to
check boarding.
1t will be necessary for srocers
and consumers to watch carefully
their distribution and purchases

The main sources of available
sugar for the United States and
the Allies are narrowed down to
theWest Indies principally Cuba),
Hawaii. the Philippines, Louisi-
ana, and the susar-beet fields OF
the Middle West.
Cuba has now increased its pro-
duction of sugar cane, but Eng
land, France and other soi cign
countries perforce have increased
their importations Of sugar fron
Cuba.
There is an abundance Of SUGAR
in far-away Java, 1t is as useless
to the world as unrnined gold, be-
cause no nation can spare t.le
ships TO carry it.
This country and Europe could
only procure sugar from Java by
using ships badly needed to carry
American troops and supplies to
France.
It takes $50 days for cargo

miles day to 50 from England
to Java and return, counting in
the loading and dischargins ct
both ends. The same ship travel
ing between New York and France
takes 50 days for a round trip.
Therefore the same ship can
make three round trips between
New York and France while it is
making one round trip between
England and Java.
The competition among nations
for Cuban raw sugar has forced
up its price, with necessary cor
responding increase in the cost Of
refined sugar. This competition
has now been overcome by the
combined efforts Of the United
States Food Administration, '&he
Allied Governments, and all ele-

need BIG Herds
furope's Meat Suppl Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Fven
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked TO conserve their flocks and
herds In order to meet Europes tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food almuis.
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creaslng the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock lhun any oth
er European nation When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated cir-
tually all the cattle In the invaded
territory = approximately 100000
hsad--were driven behind the German
Inca
But In England-Where 2,4U0,000
acres OF pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields the cattle herds
are decreasing RAPIDLY One Of The
reasons apparently i the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds October, SIPS; :
November and December, Sl60S; Jan
larry, S1iI0 The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 1897 900 head Of
cattle In 1913 she now has only p
1000. decrease of 1875 per cent.
And France Is today producing only
one gallon OF mix compared to two
and one.hnlf cations before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.
