S U .@. A R rect understanding of the sugar situation. the following FACTS are presented: Existing conditions are world wide in their effect not in any local Any consideration of the question of available supply must take into account series of traordinary factors
 The immediate effect of the declaration of the European to cut off from the worlds market the sugar of the Central Powers About onethrd of the worlds total pro- ducon formerly from within the present bateline of Europe The Western battlefront passes through the sugar producing territory of France and of Belgium In quence England France and other foreign countries have competed with the United States for Cubas sugar
 Not only did this cause an advance in the price of raw and refined sugar. but until competition checked by the recent agreement among the Allies it resulted in lessenins the supply available to the people of this country last fa
 At the time, abundance of susar-hundreds of thousands of tonsha been locked in farayay Java, owing to the lack of ships to transport it. It is no more available than unmined gold To provide ships to bring this sugar here-or to Europe-would withdraw them from the important business of carrying soldiers and their supplies overseas as Mr. Hoover has pointed out
 The nationwide movement to save the fruit crop last sea- greatly increased the of sugar While the quantity III the sugar DoW was Tor t and other reasons eSened this sugar wisely stored food preserved fruits jams and ellies.

 Because of the increased demand for sugar. more sugar has been planted in Cuba Porto Rico, Hawaii and Louisiana the chief from which the United States gets sugar.
 The reports from Cuba and Porto Rico make the situation favorable than month ago for supply to meet the needs of all who dependent this souce-ineud ing this country. soldiers abroad and the Allies.
 We buy sugar the open market and refine it. To the extent of ability cooperating with the Government to insure fair distribution of cane sugar. to stabilize the price to the and to prevent hoardng and waste We kept refneres working last fall long as there was ton of raw sugar to be had.

 will be necessary for grocers and consumers to watch carefully their distribution and purchases during the ap- preaching period of readjusment The reneres are now starting up and supplies of sugar coming forward but will take weeks, and possibly months for the return of normal conditions.

HIGH TAXES MUST CONTINUE.
Annual Need Exceeds Four Billion
For Several Years, Experts Say.

Washington, Nov 13.-Govern-
ment financial needs for many years
are almost certain to run above $4,-
000, 100000 annually, treasury e2
perts estimate, and most of the
money will be raised by taxation.
Consequently students of govern
ment finances think the taxes i'm
posed last year and paid in June
probably will not be lightened mate
rally by the advent Of peace.
Secretary McAdoo warned that
taxes necessarily would be high fol
many years to pay off war debts and
that additional government loans
would be required
Roughly treasury officials and con-
gressional leaders in charge of reve-
nue. legislation figure this way:
Ordinary government expenses,
whicheran around billion dollars a
year before the war, now win amount
to at least $2,0O0,000,0O0 for MANY
years and for two or three years af-
ter the war may be double that
figure. If liberty bonds are increas-
ed to $4,000, 100000 the interest
would be about $1,000, 100000 a
year A sinking fund to pay off the
bonds would require about $780,
100000 a year. These three items
aggregate nearly $4,250,000,0 900.
To offset this there would be near,
ly half billion dollars coming in
annually from the allies as interest
on their loans, and revenue from
customs and miscellaneous sources,
which last year amounted to about
$45O,O0O,OO0.
There would still remain about
three and a half billion dollars to be
raised from internal revenue taxes
Last year $S,643, 900, 900 came from
internal revenue, including $2,775,-
100000 from income and excess
profits taxes. This year these figures
will be more than doubled.
If the schedule of income taxes
now being framed in the new reve-
nue. bill works out well it is con-
sidered probable that the bulk of
after the war revenue will come
from income levies which next year
will yield probably $4,000, 900, 900.
Excess profits taxes probably would
automatically be abandoned after the
war, and liquor revenue will stop If
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment is ratified, and sooner with the
passage of the war time prohibition
bill. 1t is almost certain that the
multitude of minor taxes now levied
on transportation, insurance. adj
missions, club dues, the excise taxes,
stamp taxes, and special taxes on
certain businesses, now yielding COM
paratively little revenue and very
difficult Of admission, will be aban-
doned. Tobacco and estate taxes
probably will remain, it is said.

Poor Forms Of Bread.

Early records of the north Euro
pean peoples, particularly In Scan
dinayia, show that the poor subsisted
partly on bread made of nothing more
substantial than ground moss. But
this had such slight nutritive value
that II was almost worthless as food
Potato flour bread Is also a familiar
makeshift of other days. When the
ground potatoes are mixed with rye
or wheat the bread is not unpalatable

RAINBOW TROOPS
| FIRST TO RE TURN
Continued from first page.

Another Washington dispatch has
the following to say:
When plans are perfected for
carrying out the terms of the Ger
man armistice, including occupation
of prescribed German cities and terri
| tory and the policing OF districts
that may be necessary. the war de-
partment proposes to give a rest to
american units which have seen the
longest and hardest service in action.
II everything works smoothly, the
first American troors to get home
will he these who braved the submar-
inc threatened seas first, and who
first faced tae Huns in battle.
Included in this list are the New
England and Rainbow divisions OF
the national guard troops, the Rain
bow division being made up Of
guardsmen from twenty-six states,
among them Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan, and other middle~western
states.
In any event, officials declare, few
troops, if any, will be returned from
Europe until peace is declared, and
that is not expected for several
at the earliest.
There have been reports in cir
culation that the Rainbow division
would be brought back by Christmas,
but this is said at the war depart
ment to be remote possibility.

Count Your War Tax i'm Your Deals.
Farmers and owners of property
who have reached the age of retire
ment should beware of selling out
during these war times until they
have computed the probable war in
come tax they will be assessed upon
the profits made in their dealin IS
under the schedules Of the bill which
is about to become law in congress.
A farmer who has spent lifetime
upon a quarter section of Iowa land,
having acquired it in an early date
for a mere nominal sum, If he sells
during the present calendar year,
will have to return all the advance
in price over and above, what the
farm cost him many years ago as in
come for this year. This profit may
be large and when added to the nor
NAL income from his business will
put him so far up into the surtax
class that he will have many thous-
ands of dollars to pay that he did net
count upon when he made his deal
For example, quarter section o.
Iowa land selling at 5000 per acre
and which cost its owner approx
mately $50 FER. acre many years ago,
would show a profit of $4,000 in
the sale. This when added to the
farmers normal income, even after
his deductions, would leave him in
the $4,000 income class for this
one year and under the schedules of
the new bill he would be taxed next
spring $5,1l5 upon an income of $25.
600 for the calendar year of 1913.
If the sale were that of a store
building or residence or any other
form of property the profit in the
sale will be counted as income for
the year in which the sale is made.
If this profit, together with normal
income, shows a total ret income OF
$4,000 for the calendar year OF
1918 his income tax under the PRO
posed schedules will be $3,515 or il
his total income from profits in the
sale of property and from normal
income is SIS, 900 his income tax will
be $2,165.
This war tax upon incomes which
will start to grinding as soon as the
new bill is enacted into law and the
schedules of which will be applied to
the profits of the current year, should
cause men to hesitate before they ne
gotiate what seems to them profitable
sales of properties which have been
in their hands for long periods OF
time. In case of property recently
acquired the profit will not be so
great because a deduction can be
made of the cost of the property
when acquired but the new schedules
will make it prohibitive in many
cases to sell property during the
period of the war which has been
in the family for ten to twenty years
of time.
