Why Shortage Exists.

The three great sugar producing CEN
ters of the world are Germany, the
West and East Indies. German sugar
is, of course, used at home. The East
Indian sugar is unavailable because OF
the ship shortage.
While U boats made big inroads on
the worlds shipping, France and Italy
ceased to be self sustaining in sugar
manufacture. England in the mean
time was cut off from German sugar
100000 tons a year-because of the
war. The result has been that the al
lied nations have been forced to turn
to America and the West Indies for
their sugar.

Eskimo Carving.

All of the Eskimo carving today is
done with steel tools, but there is
work in existence that dates back to
the stone age The older EskimOs say
that their ancestors used tools of
flint, and it is known that they have
been serving ivory for many genera
tions. Some of the very poorest of
them and those that live in the most
out of the way places are noted for
their work of this kind. They seem
to do it for pastime and make many
toys and dolls for their children.
They have way Of softening the

Food Is Bought In Germany Surreptl-
tiously in Violation of Auto
cratic RULINGS.

Even the autocratic food control OF
Germany has been powerless to pre-
vent surreptitious sales, according to
semi-official reports reaching the Unit
ed States food administration. illegal
sales of butter are being made In Ger
many at prices ranging from $l.75 to
1925 pound Eggs sold contrary to
the German food regulations are
bringing 10 to Is cents apiece, accord
Ing to these reports. And bacon or

SUGAR CONTROL
SAVED MILLIONS
American Consumer Profited by
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Stu
alton Helped.
HOME PRICE HELD AT 9 CENTS
This Nations Sugar Supply Reduced
to Seventy Per Cent. OF Normal.
Java Stocks Unavailable.

Sugar control has saved the Amer.
lean public $lSO,OOO,OOO, Herbert Hoov
err, United States food administrator,
declared the other day.
He pointed out that sugar was sell
ing for IL cents pound last August
and that it would have advanced TO ~
cents pound, with the world short
age as stimulus, had not the food
administration secured the co-opera-
ton of the refiners and wholesalers
and fixed sugar price that today en-
ables housewives TO buy sugar at from
S1a to cents pound.
Every l cent raise in sugar from
September l to January ! means SlS,-
O0OOO0 to the American consumer"
Mr.. Hoover said. Numbers of gen
tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar
would have prevailed and the public
robbed of $1S0,000,000 this year if we
had not taken these actions Later
Mr.. Hoover called attention TO the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
80 cents a pound during the Civil War.
France Got Our Sugar.
Today the American public has been
allotted 20 per cent. of its normal sup
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
80 pounds person. In England the
annual consumption during the war is
"a pounds, and in France each person
is allotted a little over one pound a
month.
In August the French government
this ration" Mr. Hoover declared.
San appeal was made to America.
France needed 100000 TONS We
agreed to fill this demand and up to
December had shipped S5,426 tons. In
the meantime an appeal was made to
the American public to reduce its sug-
ar consumption, and requests were
made to distributors to supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
with so per cent. of normal supply.
This has been generally followed, al
though such regulations were volun-
tary, as the food administration had
no authority to impose them"
Domestic Price is sIa to 9 Cents.
Retail grocers throughout the coun-
try are supposed to take a profit of no
more than 80 cents d hundred-half a
cent pound-on sugar. BY reason of
food administration regulations, bind.
ing refners and wholesalers, the re-
taller is able today to buy sugar at
from s to S1s cents a pound. This
enables him to sell to the housewife at
S1a to cents a pound.
There have been some violations of
the sugar rulings. Mr.. Hoover said
recently: "Sales of sugar from 16 to
20 cents per pound have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop
ped and is evidence itself of the prices
at which consumers would have been
mulct had we not interviewed. We have
forfeited wholesalers licenses in az.
gravated cases, and we have issued
warnings TO first offenders in a great
many instances through our local adj
ministratOrs."

Effect on Military Situation.

American sugar stocks could be fill
ed to normal very soon if ships could
be sent to Java, where 100000 tons Of
sugar is waiting for shipment. But
the shipping situation is so acute that
the nation cannot spare the eleven
ships needed to transport this sugar
1t would take the boats one year to
haul 100000 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
100000 soldiers to France.
The food administration believes
that the American public will diminish
its sugar consumption by 10 or 10 per
cent. when it is made clear that such
sugar saving Is patriotic act and
when it is understood that there are
plenty of sweeteners available to take
the place of sugar, such as honey or
corn syrup.

Pioneer Vice-President
Historical Society

James c. Golfer, father of Hon.
Fred 7 Golfer, State Senator and
Democratic National Committee
man, has recently been elected
Vice President of the Pioneer S
Historical Society at Prescott.
Probably 10 other of Our pioneers
enjoy the prominence and wide
acquaintance in all sections OF
Arizona, as does Mr.. Golfer OF
Apache County. Crossing plains
from Wisconsin in the early seven
ties, he introduced the first reaper
and thrashing machine in y the
state. AS many Of our older read
ers know, northern Arizona and
particularly that part which IS now
ApaChee County, was not then the
settled, peaceful community one
fines today. Where prosperous
farms, numerous irrigation projects
well stocked ranges, orchards and
thriving towns now greet the visit
or, were then the hunting grounds
of rowing, desperate bands OF
Apaches. Savages under the lead
ership of Chief Geronimo and Vic
toria periodically attacked the
white settlers, either killing or
driving away most Of their cattle
and horses. Of those who came to
build their home in this new
country, numbers met their death
in these Indian raids, James 9
Golfer himself being wounded.
With splendid health and virgor
Mr.. Golfer, Sr. is truly seventy
five Young, is very active, and
his feats in the saddle still arouse
the envy Of even the younger
generation. OF late years his time
is divided between Prescott anC
Phoenix, spending the summers il
the Nothern city. His jovial, mag
netic personality has made friends
whom he numbers by the thousands
and who never / act for real er
tertainment when, with his wond
erful story of knowledge and tales
of frontier life, they can strike this
pleasant old pioneer i'll re1nines
