Flour and Sugar

We occasionally hear expressions of resentment against the food administration and no doubt there is great deal of resentment that is periodically pressed though it is still felt Hoover is blamed for the restrictions the of flour and sugar. We should take it out the Kaiser. But for Hoover would have forgotten by this time the of flour and sugar. The rich would all these commodities they want but the poor could have
 All of us remember the furry in flour a little than a year go, before the government took control and stabilized the price. If the government had not done perhaps the farmers would found wheat a little remunerative than they do now, but the profeers would have controlled the flour and fixed price which the poor and the moderately we-to-do could not pay.
 We may make comparison between the sugar situation today and that which existed during the civil Then there really sugar shortage Now there is world shortage Germany alone. formerly great contributor to the sugar supply does not feel the shortage. After taking the German supply and that formerly contributed by Belgium and France than half the of the worlds supply has been withheld from it. very part it is sweetening inc ocean, sent down by submarines. The submarines too, have destroyed much shipping that we cannot move even from nearby Cuba all the sugar available there The great quantities which formerly pro- duced might as well be in the moon.
 But in spite of these conditions such sugar as we allowed 10 buy Is in the reach of all In Phoenix 1t costs only 9a cents pound. In years plenty 1t was hardly less than that and we can look back to other years when there shortage when the common price for granulaed sugar or 12 cents a pound.
 During the civil when have shown there was real shortage, it sold 35 cents pound The government was not then regulating the price but the spectators profiteers were regulating it. They had control of the great supply and they fixed the price at the top notch
 We live in better times when we are regulated by the government and not by rapacious thieves We have two pounds of sugar d month at reasonable low price, whereas but for government control we should have none at any price.

 An hour later We sallied forth to see Paris in war time. Our way lay through the lonely Vendome, out by the empty Rue Castiglione. down the Rue de Rivoli. So we came into the great beautiful Place de la Concorde; and what a wide and magnificent waste it was. Now and then a way farer might be seen crossing it's splendid distances, or taxicab spin ming along through the statuesque grandeur of the place. But the few moving objects in the white stretch of marble and cement only accented it's lonely aspect. The circle of the French Irovinces was as desolate as the Pom leiian Forum. and save for the bright Colors of the banks of flowers that were heaped upon the monuments to Alsace and Lorraine, the place might have been an excavation rather than Inc heart of a great world metropolis. Before the war, to cross the Place de la Concorde and go into the Champs Elysees was an adventure of life time. One took ones chances. One survived, but he had his thrills But that morning we might have walked -iNiy Nitit bONto lltduS anu lldUuS ciasped behind us through the place. across the Elysian fields; there we sat for moment in one of the Babylonian cafes and saw nothing more shocking than the beautiful women of France gathering in the abandoned cafes and music halls to assemble surgical dress ings for the French wounded.
