Presidents Statement

Industry plays as essential and
honorable a role in this great struggle
as do our military ornaments. We
all recognize the truth of this, but
we must also see its necessary impli-
cations-namely, that industry, doing
a vital task for the nation, must re-
ceive the support and assistance of
the nation
Therefore, solemnly urge all en-
ployers engaged in war work to re-
frain after August 1st, 1918, from re-
cruiting unskilled labor in any man
ner except through this central agen-
cy. Gu. S. Employment Service.) l
urge labor to respond as Loyalty as
heretofore to any calls issued by this
agency for voluntary enlistment in es-
sential industry. And I ask them
both alike to remember that no sacri-
fee will have been in vain, if we are
able to prove beyond all question that
the highest and best form of efficiency
is the spontaneous cooperation of
free people"

PUTTING BUSINESS
INTO PATRIOTISM

The feature of the present war that
is peculiarly American is the way in
which the instrumentalities of bust
ness have been placed at the service
OF patriotism. The time Is past for
discussion as to whether the call of
country Is stronger than the call of
profit 1t is now not question of
putting business above your patriot
ism; it is a matter of putting business
into your patriotism.
Though our Revolutionary ances.
tors accomplished great things in max
ing America free. they had not learned
as much about subordinating business
TO patriotism as we have learned.
Writing to James Warren In 177e.
Washington censures severely the
business morality in this time. sour
conflict is not likely to cease as soon
as every good man could wish. Unless
we can return a little more to first
principles, and act little more upon
patriotic grounds, do not know what
may be the issue Of the contest. Spec
ulation, peculation. engorssing, fore
stalling, with all their concomitants,
afford too many melancholy proofs Of
the decay of public virtue
The moral principles of men change
but little from generation 70 genera
ton, but the ways in which these mo-
- --.assples ere put into practice
Ehange radically.

facture more beet sugar In 1918
chan in 1851, when the total output
was 202,415 tons.
Italy in 1917-18 produced 100000
tons of beet-sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
110,250 less than the annual output Of
sugar for the FIVE year pre-war pc
riod.
One of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half of the usual quantity OF
beets harvested.

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring. Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop in Europe and the lack of
ocean tonnage to move stocks of cane
sugar isolated In far away ports.
Granulated sugar, home grown, was
being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents a pound.
The price of brown sugar in Lisbon,
Portugal, fixed by governmental order.
was $1.04 to SLIP a pound.
By comparison the price of beet
sugar in Sweden is Ia cents a pound.

CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
In Rigid War Economy
PractIced.

The world today Is producing forty
per cent less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops. as wen as the
neutrals, the U. s. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop Of
1917-191S is at least three and half
million tons.
That the 1s17-191s crop of cane sug-
ar was two million tons In excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half Of
the world cane crop. and the Java sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java large part OF the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
II requires $50 TO 160 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies production falis.
Taking the Allied nations as group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry las s'uf-
fered most by the war. The French
WELD of beet sugar is now only 291
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out

Is sugar necessary in the diet?

Is sugar necessary in the diet?
Neither beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet allthesugar needed may ordi
narily be supplied by using honey sirups, fresh pre-
served and dried fruits
What the general sugar saving rules?
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use
other sweeteners. Be sparing of CONNECTIONS and
sweet cakes The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups
Cultivate taste for fruit in its natural sweetness
Sugar is fuel food Get fuel from potatoes and =
other starchy foods rather chan from sugar. Sugar
exces them as energy-food only because it pro-
duces energy quickly They excel sugar since
they supply more than merely the fuel need
How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities
known to everyone?
Two pounds per month means about ounces per
week. or little more than ounce day. This daily
ration is a trife than tablespoons level full
1t should be remembered that this is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatsoever-for table
use, cooking, in ice and desserts cereals or

THE TOBACCO MARKET.

Activity in the open tobacco mar
kets of Kentucky during the month
of September offered conclusive
proof of the stability of price quota
lions on practically every grade and
type of tobacco. While the aggregate
sales were not large, showing de-
crease of 1880 pounds, in compari-
son with the preceding month of
August, the average price per 100
pounds made an advance of S2.59
while the average of $29.93 per 100
pounds recorded for September is
probably the highest ever paid for
tobacco in Kentucky.
Great interest was conferred in a
small offering of new, 1918 crop.
Burley which sold at an average Of
$24.SS per 100 pounds. Considering
the quality of the tobacco and its con-
dition so early in the season the price
is said to have been extremely high,
and indicative of the upward trend of
hurley prices for the new crop. Old
crop hurley, in September, touched
its highest level, averaging $O.19 per
100 pounds more than in August.
while hurley sold for growers APP
preached close to the $40 per 100
pounds mark. A year ago hurley to-
bacco sold for less than $50 per 100
pounds, and less than two years ago.
an average of S12 to S14 was consid-
cred high.
One-sucker grades made a new rec
ord in September at S21.75, making
an increase over the preceding month
of $2.1O per 100 pounds. A year ago
similar grades brought around S12.
Unfired dark tobacco made an ad-
vance in September of S0.15 per 100
pounds; fired dark decreased $0.62
per 100 pounds.

SIN BILLIONS VOTED
by HOUSE FOR WAR

Washington. Oct. 1S.-The Six Bill
ion dollar Military Deficiency Bill
was passed today by the House with
out a dissenting vote and sent to the
Senate in practically the same form
that il came from the Appropriations
Committee.
Before the House took final vote
several legislative sections were
stricken out on points of order. They
included one for war salvage COM
mission to be appointed by the Presi-
dent and to recommend to Congress
what disposition should be made of
property acquired by the Government
during the war. Another would have
granted authority to the chief of or
dance to make agreements with To-
cal authorities for the Government to
pay half the cost of roads damaged
by army vehicles.
Besides providing vast sums for the
War Department the bill also pro-
vides S1O7, 1000 for the navy and
100000 for the War Risk In
surance Bureau to pay allotments to
families of soldiers and sailors.
In anticipation of final action on
the bill tonight, Representative
Kitchin, the Democratic leader, after
conference with Senator Martin,
majority leader in the Senate, an
nounced that he would endeavor to
bring about another series of three
day recesses in the House, beginning
probably tomorrow and continuing
until October 30, the date proposed
for the beginning of the joint recess
until after the November elections.
After Congress reconvenes Novem-
Der II, Mr.. Kitchin said, the House
probably will continue its three-day
recesses until the Senate disposes of
the War Revenue Bill. He predicted
that the revenue measure would not
be ready for the Presidents sigma
ture until December.
