What Do You Think Is My Sharef
By BRUCE BARTON

He is a conscientious gentleman, who honestly
wants to do right And he came to me shaking
his head.
81 want to do my full part in this United War
Work Campaign" he said. "Do you think
hundred dollars is my sharep
And ! told him that it would be hard for
anyone but himself to decide. There are so
many different ways Of looking at money"
said.
A hundred and seventy millions looks big at
first glance. 1t is forty times what Jefferson
gave for the Louisiana territory.
It's dollar and seventy cents for every man,
woman and child in the land; it's more than
eight dollars and a half for every household.
''You can figure it on that basis" told him.
"On the basis Of dollars and cents. Or you can
frnre it on the basis Of boys"
"Of boys" he questioned. u do not under
stand"
It's less than fifteen cents day for each ofour
soldiers and sailors" answered. Fifteen cents
dav TO give them warmth and comfort and
entertainment, and lectures, and games, and the
thought of mother and of God.
"Fiftecn cents day for boy: two for
quarter day. How many boys will you
takei"
And his eyes kindled. ''I think could take
ten at least" he said. He drew his check book
out.
"Figurc it out and tell me the price" he said.
81 want you to give them the best you've got
What is it going to cost?'
for ten boys, for year, at two for quarter
a dayw
So figured it out for him: suppose you figure
it out for yourself.

THOUGHT HE MEANT "cUTles.'

"Isn't it just Ike those French
girls to keep running after our good
American boys"
"What's the matter now"
"My son writes that life in the
trenches wouldn't be so bad II the
'cooties' didn't poster them so ter
ribly."

Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces In its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution OF sugar TO the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun-
try, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at a low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as we'll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every eff
fort to preserve the fruit crop without

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Aug. 13.-The biggest
run of western and native grass cat
tie for the season arrived ON the mar
ket today. some 800 cars or 5000
head. about 1000 more than Of last
Monday and an increase of 5000
over the corresponding day a year
ago. Considering the size of the run
the market acted creditably, she stuff
met with free action and showed
some recovery from the low time last
week, while the general outlet for
steers measured up pretty well with
the close of last week, while stockers
and feeders ruled steady with feed
ing she stuff higher.
Hog run was moderate. Trade
was slow in rounding into shape,
sellers asking sharply higher prices,
while buyers bid about steady. Deal
finally got going at prices that looked
s a 15c higher than Saturday. Tops
landed at s19.15, while bulk of the
packing grades ranged from $500
@1S.40. with shipping business
largely from 1880 q 1910.
Steady release was ~obtainable for
the moderate supply of sheep and
lambs that arrived.

From a Russian of high birth who
was a lady-in-waiting to the czarina
of Russia, are learned some particu-
lars of the events which Immediately
preceded and followed the cars abdi-
cation which are not generally known.
The woman lost all she possessed in
the upheaval of Russia and is now
connected with the American Red
Cross. The czarina banished her
from court before the revolution be-
cause her husband, who was in the
diplomatic service, had incurred the
imperial ~displeasure.
The lady in question says that the
car and czarina were warned of their
danger some weeks before the revolu-
ton started. In particular did Prin-
cess Vasiltchioff, a member of the i'm
perial court, and wife of a prominent
member of the council of the empire,
warn her. The princess is a good Rus
sian patriot, and, like many others,
was appalled, at the signs of coming
anarchy.
So much alarmed was she that she
wrote a personal letter to the cZarina,
telling her that If she wished to save
Russia and her own family she must
dismiss Rasputin and the Germans at
court and see that the army had am
munition.
