PLAN To HOLD Down
THE PRICE OF SUGAR
PRESIDENT NAMES BOARD AND
WILL FURNISH CAPITAL OUT
OF SPECIAL WAR FUND.
Will Have Authority to Purchase the
Production Of Beet Sugar Factories
That Cannot Be Sold to Public
at Reasonable Prices.

WashingtOn.-TO equalize the price
of sugar to the consumer in the face
of prospects for an increase due to a
threatened shortage, and to secure bet
ter distribution, President Wilson on
July IL created the sugar equalization
board on recommendation of Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover.
The board will incorporate at 5000,
600, the capital to be furnished by the
president from his special war fund,
and will have authority to acquire,
even at loss to the government, the
production of beet sugar factories that
can not under the present price of
beets be sold to the public at rea-
sonable price, and other high cost
sugar. This will be resold in the COM
mon lot at the established price, thus
saving considerable to the consumer.
Offices of the board will be in
Washington. Mr.. Hoover has been ap-
pointed chairman and George Rolph,
sugar director in the food administra-
ton, president.
The United States now virtually con-
trolls all sugar produced in the coun-
try, as we'll as that imported, through
the international sugar commission,
which organization allocates to the do
nestle industry.
The directors Of the board are F..
w. Taussig of the tariff commission,
Clarence Woolley of the war trade
board; Sugar Administrator George Ia
briskie, Theodore Whitmarsh and Will
lam I. Glasgow, all of the food ad-
ministratiOn.

WINTER IN MID-APRIL.

Rain, Hail and Snow Visited This Sec
ton Yesterday Afternoon and Dur
ing Last Night.
Old Sol hid his face last Monday
afternoon and is still in hiding. Rain
began to fall at the close of the day
and by Tuesday night a veritabic
tempest was raging. Wednesday
night showed no Improvement. The
wind, which was coming from the
northeast in dangerous flaws, was still
in evidence. Yesterday Aeolus was
not delivering the heavy blows of thI
previous night, but he was still send
ing chilling blasts from the north
cast. Fragments of angry clouds
chased each other toward the south
west all day, and there were no signs
of an approaching clcar-up.
Late yesterday afternoon snow be-
gan to fall, followed at times by hail,
and this morning several inches Of
snow were on the streets. Much Of
it had melted, and the thoroughfares
were partly flooded. A ray of hope
for better conditions, however, was
furnished by change in the wind.
The vanes were pointing toward the
northwest-thc clearing up quarter
although the sun was still inisiblc, as
it has been during the day.
The weather, though: unreasonable,
is not phenomenal, as in past years
similar conditions have prevailed dur
ing the first part of April. There
were SHOWS and heavy northwest
winds during the early par. Of last
April. Fifty years age even more
severe conditions than those we are
passing through existed.
