INTERNIISsION
TIoGA CHORAL CONCERT
Winter Program Reflects Credit on
Sterling Uptown Society

The Tioga Choral Society, one Of the
most important of the community mu-
steal organizations in which Philadel-
phia is rich, gave it's winter concert last
evening at st. Pauls Reformed Episco-
pal Church, Broad and NenangO streets.
Although this singing society is by scope
and environment strictly 1eighborhood
body, 1t has attained in it's Several sea-
sons Of existence so many merits and
distinctions as to give it high rank above
a mere sectional organization.
The members. under the capable di-
rection of James b. Hartzell, have de-
ume and varied expressiveness in tonal
light and shade. They sing with excel
lent precision Of attack and cessation
OF tone. The voices are well selected
and blended. Preponderance of female
voices has nearly always characterized
choral bodies, and the present calls Of
national service on men has increased
this tendency But an excellent program
can be arranged and carried through
despite this fact
The chorus was heard in a number
Of part song and ensembles of a variety
of mood and appeal Antonio Ferrera
and W, Leon ArlSless, members OF the
Philadelphia Orchestra, played violin
obbligau 10 some OF the selections. Mr..
Arkless also contributed n solo, and
vocal solos were given by Miss Eliza
beth MessiclS, Of Vassar College. An
other soprano to be heard was Ruth
Groenevald. who rendered the song in
The End of the Sabbath" by Russell ii.
Miles, known as faculty member Of the
Germantown High School and organist
OF the Lutheran Church of the Nativity,
seventeenth and Norris streets.
James b. Hartzell conducted with IA
cility and authority, securing varied and
interesting effects from his forces, and
Airs. Harry Rowe, at the plano, proved
diligent and efficient accompanies.

We wanted no truck until we were in a
position to back it with the same character of
service that accounts much for our present posi-
ton in the passenger car field.
Here we have modern plant the largest
rcsail automobile and service station in the
world. Think of the assurance such an insttu-
ton gives to all users of its product
Hudson passenger car owners in Philadel-
pha and throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and
Delaware know what it is to have their cars in
uninterrupted service.
No user can possibly be as vitality interested
in the performance of Stewart trucks as we are.
We have given complete Endorsement to it.
We are sure every truck user is warranted on
that account in relying upon our choice as being
the choice for him.

We have been looking into the truck situa-
ton ever since we started our plans for our
present new building Then we knew we would
have facilities second to none in the world for
rendering complete service.
Sc while our building was under way we
began thorough and exhaustive investigation
of motor trucks With the advantages that our
organization offers to any manufacturer you
can understand that the truck we decided to
represent is the one of our choice
In lending our Endorsement to any motor
car, either passenger or commercial, we give TO
it the support of all that the Compassionate
name carries. Naturally. then, we based our
selection of the truck we would take on when
we moved into our new building upon an inves-
tigation that considered only the actual perform
ance value of the truck.
Names of manufacturers meant nothing to
if their present product was not up to the
standard we had determined should be the
basis of our choice
We believed it possible to find quality that
was not alone determined by price.
Thai we have chosen the Stewart is an
indication of our confidence in it.

At the same time, an abun-
dance Of sugar was and still
is locked up in far-away Java,
as unavailable as unmined
Gold-because ships cannot be
spared to transport it.
Every 5,OO0-ton ship which
can be saved by giving
England sugar from Cuba
means the release of a ship
which can make three trips
and take a total Of 5000 sol.
dierS from the United States
to France.
If we can save the Allies
from taking any Java sugar
in 1918, we will release for
transport purposes enough
ships to carry over to the
Western front and supply
about $50, 900 to 100000
soldiers.
At the same time, we will
also be giving the Allies the
necessary sugar. Therefore.
it is to the interest Of the
common cause to save ships
and send soldiers.
The Franklin Sugar Re-
filming Company has put forth
every possible effort to keep
up the supply Of sugar for the
United States, even in limited
quantities, and to stabilize
the price to the consumer.
In order to enable thewideSt
possible distribution of sugar
so that all may have some

Sugar and Ships

In the interest of the public it serves, the
Franklin Sugar Refining Company is earnestly
supporting the Governments policy to regulate
the supply Of sugar that it shall be sufficient
for the needs Of all-our soldiers, Our Allies
and ourselves.
With the new crop Of cane sugar coming in,
the sugar situation is more favorable than it
was month ago. There will be sugar enough,
according to present indications, if extrava-
CANT use and waste are avoided.

War has disturbed the
whole worlds sugar supply.
II has not only wiped out any
available surplus, but it has
put all nations on a hand-to-
mouth basis.
The European Allies were
the first tofeel the pinch.
Before the war, enough sugar
was produced on the Con-
tinent to supply all Europe.
Today, two-thirdS Of this
SuSar-produCinS area is with
in the battle lines.
England, France and other
nations have had to turn
elsewhere for a supply Of this
indispensable food.
And they came to Cuba
the main source upon which
the United States depends for
it's cane sugar. During 1917,
Cuba sold and shipped to
Europe nearly 100000 tons
Of raw susar-one-third of its
crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption
Of sugar as food in this coun-
try, the nationwide move
ment to save the fruit crop
last season greatly increased
its use.
But this increased con-
sumption Of sugar has been a
real factor in combating
waste. It enabled the Ameri-
can housewife to add to the
store Of the food Of the ma
ton at a time when fruits
and vegetables were plenti-
full and cheap.
The sugar is not only in the
fruit Jar, but it has carried
into the pantries Of the coun-
try a vast supply Of fruit and
vegetables which would
otherwise have been lost.
Sugar itself is not only a food,
but it is also the great pre-
server Of other foods.
As the demand for sugar
grew, both here and abroad,
Cuba'S supply was exhausted
last fall. Every available
ton in Porto Rico and other
cane sugar countries was ac-
quired. But this was not
enough, and the shortage
came.
