I'VE are working for two things"
said Mrs. Henry G. Sherrard of Crosse
Pointe, in an interview, when asked
about the plans of Michigan suffra-
gists. "Suffragists are working for
war victory and for democracy. That
is. why we. so intently and Accordingly
give our help to every form of war
activity, and also we. work for suf-
frage because we believe that since
Great Britain and Canada have given
their women the ballot as a war meas
ure the United States cannot fall be-
hind these countries in being COM
plete democracy. We cannot ask our
men to die abroad for a cause that we
do not live for at home"

It's Sugar Cards Now.

Bedding merchants started in using
sugar cards this morning and from
now on it will be necessary to carry
your sugar card with you when you
try to get the honorable groceryman
to part with lump of sugar. 1t is
the plan to issue bat one card to the
head of each family or household and
this card will entitle the family to
two pounds of sugar per month and
woe be to the person who is caught
with two sugar cards in their posses
sion at the same time because lie will
be taken as positive proof of sugar
hogging and a lack of patriotism.
Those of the people who have anything
to can or preserve and want the 20
pounds of sugar allotted to them for
this purpose can secure a ticket en-
titling them to purchase the same
by seeing his Homer Mayor Elmer
K. Fales. The sugar card is now an
almost universal practice all over the
state and is the one sure wayRof hand
ling the sugar question.

fine

COMMERCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, June 14.-Dun's re- vie wtomorrow will say:
 Great commercial changes, affect ing both domestic and foreign com merce, are O frequent occurrence and cause considerable hesitation, but less unsettlement and confusion than might have been expected. Close co-opera- ton between private interests and representatives of the government, promptly effected wherever the occa- sion requires it. render the many eco- homie adjustments easier of accom- plishment, and the absence of conspic- uous disturbance in any quarter con- tinues gratifying and reassuring feature. That the center of energies in the vigorous prosecution of the war implies still tighter restrictions on or dinary operations there has been clear recognition. and scarcely week passes without the development of some action having a large bearing on the future course of business.

TURN MONTE CARLO
 OVER TO RED CROSS

What shock in the words, heard
 in war time-"New Rooms at Monte Carlo." Yes; there are new rooms at
 Monte Carlo; and it is just because of
 war time that they have been opened. They are amazingly successful rooms.
 crowded from the opening to the clos ing hour with eager devotees, who pile the tables with their offerings. Excited voices are heard eXclaiming, as the day wanes, Eight hundred on my table. "On mine a thousand!"
 Success, however, is the sole likeness between the new rooms, the new | tables, and the old. There are differ ences so extreme as to be picturesue. To the old rooms, in old days before the war, one went, if not to play. to

ALGERIA BENEFITS
 BY RULE OF FRENCH

In 1856 Algeria boasted 2,32S,000 na- tive inhabitants. and twenty years after, in 1876 she had 2,463,000, but during this period, although the work of conquest by France was finished, colonization was scarcely encouraged at all.
 The period 1876 to 1896 was the period of intense colonization. Now we see that during these twenty years the population, which had only increased 120,000 during the preceding twenty years, increased during this period by 100000 without any really important increases in the territory of Algeria, writes Davis Edwards from Paris. In the twenty years which followed, and during which there was no serious ex- tension in the populated territory, the population of Algeria increased again by about 100000
 The movement of exchange between Algeria and the United States has not been large in proportion to the impor- ! tance of the North American market. l The cause lies lin the fact of the simi- | larity as regards agriculture and min l ing of the two countries and the ab sence of a regular trade service. In spite of this. the situation could become advantageous for the United | States, which saw it's imports mount | from s3,500,000 in 1909 to $13,000, 900 in 1913, while exports from Algeria to the United States in the same time re- mained almost stationary.
 | The American goods most usually l sold in this colony are mineral oils, machines and tools of every kind, building wood and leaf tobacco. The United States obtains in Algeria raw cork, raw hides, vegetable hair and raw tartar, but it is mostly for the supply of fresh and dried goatskins that the
 United States comes to Algeria We should remember here that for some years the United States has been occu-
 pied with the question of the acclima
 tization of date growing. Several times
 missions have been sent to Algeria 1T
 order to obtain shoots from superior
 quality date fruit trees.
 | These commercial relationships art
 not the only points with regard t, . which Algeria and the United State are commonly interested. They arr
 drawn together by the study of severa ? agricultural questions of the highes importance, among the first of whicl
 is the method of dry farming" b,
 which Algeria is trying to draw grea
 profit from the experience of tn
 United States. On the one hand. tn
 raising of sheep, flock management
 shearing, refining and classification O
 wools. and on the other hand the pro
 vision of green crops for food in time
 of drouth are the objects of the Al
 gerian agricultural studies, and Al
 gerians look for lessons from America
 experience.

 In the new rooms one never plays, one works. Women only are the de- voices, who so faithfully pile the new tables with their offerings. These are never in form of money or chips. They are bandages. rolled. or with many tails" They are eye cigarettes" they are congresses of different sizes, del icately made of the finest gauge; they are cushions for wounded limbs and for crutches; they are ice bags and pneumonia jackets.
