THE PINK AND YELLOW
 CARD FIXES STATUS
Both Indicate Slackers, Though One has Subscribed-But Not
 Enough

Two colors are going to figure prom inenuy in this Third Liberty Loan campaign, Yellow and Pink Every person who is financially able to Duy bond and who refuses will have his name recorded on the yellow card the stacker card.
 In the last two campaigns for the sale of Liberty Bonds there were many persons who slipped quietly into their baEEs and made small purchase of Liberty Bonds, when, as a matter of fact, by reason of their financial abil fly. they should have bought ten times as many bonds. Such individuals are considered by the federal government as slackers, just as much as are those who can but will not buy any bonds at all.
 In order to get permanent record of persons of tl1is character, the Fed eral Reserve Director of Sales of Ic va has sent to every county chairman a supply of pink cards, upon which the names will be recorded of such per sons as do not do their full duty-who do their "bit" instead of their ut most"
 These pink cards will be carried by every Liberty Bond salesman, and when an individual who ought to ouy a $1,000 bond will only buy $50 bond down goes his name on the pink card These cards will be handled the same as the yellow cards--they will be re- viewed by the county chairman and his executive committees. The indi. vidual will then be given another op- portunity to increase his subscription to its proper amount, and, failing in this, the cards will be forwarded to the Federal government for such ac- tion Es the Federal agents deem proper.
 Each state in each of the Federal Reserve Districts has similar plans, and no man may be stacker without the knowledge of Uncle Sam.

over 70 per cent. of the sugar used in the United
~ States Is delivered by ships. There is produced
about 100000 tons of beet sugar and 100000 tons of
sugar In louisiana The total consumption Of the

makes about 4250,000 tons Of refined sugar.

Under such circumstances there doubt that the

In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.
CANE SUGAR is ISOLATED.

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 well as the
neutrals. the U. s. Food Administra.
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
I917-1918 Is at least three and a half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S 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
It requires $50 to 100 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 Falls.
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 has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar Is now only 29.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break Of hostilities In Europe, France
produced an average Of 752,542 tons Of
sugar each year. For 1917-18 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
In existence before the war and before
the general campaign of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 1917-1S
than in 1916-17, when the total output
was 202.4 15 tons.
Italy in 1917-1s 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.
