UNITED STATES Skoz.

Schoolmaster-T rior to the time OF
the rules restricting use of sugar, how
much did we have for each person IN
the United States?
Pupil-Three and 2 half ounces
daily per person.
Standardization much did the
English have?
Pupil-Seven-eights of an ounce
daily per person.
Schoolmaster-Wh was the daily
sugar allowance per person for the
French?
Pupil-One-h half ounce.
Schoolmaster-Does that mean each
person was given that much sugar for
use on the table?
Pupil-No. That was the entire per
capita national consumption, including
use of sugar for the table, for baker
les, for candy, pop and other pur-
poses.
Standardization much sugar did
submarines sink in their raids on our
Coast?
Pupil-Twenty-s thousand tons.
Twenty-six thousand tons equals fiji
ty-two million pounds, or enough to
give every person m Kansas one ounce
per day for fifteen months.
Schoolmaster-Ther is not as much
sugar now as formerly, take it?
Pupil-No. Various causes have
reduced The supply. One of these is
the transfer of ships from the sugar
carrying trade to transporting food
to our million and q half men in
France.
Schco!master-Then we must take
some sugar away from one of the
three persons represented in the pic
ture. Shall we take it away from the
French?
Pupil-By no means. Take it away
from the spoon which is full and run
ming over. Let US reduce the Ameri-
can table allowance to two pounds
per person per month, or one ounce
daily. We will still have two times
more than the French, and, besides
there viii be sugar for home canning
and baking and other needful food
products
Schoolmaster-Can the Germans de-
feat the United States by deprivine
Us Of sugar?
Pupil-NeverI We are so glad for Z
chance to help win the war that AL
the children know of are going with
out candy to make the Kaiser mad
My mother is canning mostly without
sugar and father has quit using sugar
in his coffee. I have Just one spoon
full of sugar on my cereal, when for
merly I used 70 have two.
Schoolmaster-Very good. You
have answered ali questions correctly.

FLOUR AND FEED PRICES.

Prices of flour and mill feeds have
istration for every mill shipping point
east of the Rocky Mountains. Each
mill has been notified of the maxi
mum charge he may make for flour
and feed. He may cut under the
prices named but cannot exceed them.
At Wichita the price of flour in
carlots in bulk is set at 1888 q bar
rel at the mill door. Bran may sell
for 81 cents a hundred or $19.41 a
ton. The maximum price for mixed
feed is S1.03 a hundred or SS20.66 a
ton. Middlings, shorts and red dog
may sell at SLOT hundred pounds
or $21.41 a ton.
At Kansas City the prices are:
Flour, $3.50 barrel at the mill door;
bran S22.26 a ton; mixed feed, $23.51
a ton, and middlings, shorts and red
dog, S24.26 q ton.
Corrections must be made for freight
to figure the prices to other points.
The consumer must also figure in
the cost of containers, which for flour
is about 65 cents a barrel where flour
is shipped in 98-pound sacks and
S2.55 barrel where flour is shipped
IN small packages, such as two-pound
cotton sacks.
Feed sacks today cost the equiva-
lent of $3.50 to So ION of feed.
4 jobber cannot sell at more than
Is to so cents above the cost of a
barrel of flour delivered 20 him and
the retailer cannot add more than
s1.2O over the price he pays for the
flour.
Hillers who sell to individual con-
sumers may add as high as S1.20 a
barrel. Fog selling in less than car
lots they may add 30 cents a barrel.

dirty eggs must be marketed they
should not be washed. Washing re-

THE CALL OF THE TRIBE

In time of war we go back largely
to elementals. War is brute force
guided by intellect and but little anne
liorated by human sympathy. The
soldier who halts his sword in mid
air for even an instant, goes down
before his antagonist who strikes first.
This is true of nation as of an in
dividual fighting man. There are
many things we dislike to do, but self
preservation requires action, swift
and sure. We must adopt many of
the methods of primitive man. We
must act upon many of the rules and
impulses that govern the tribes Of
barbarians. Among other things,
when the call of the tribe has been
given, we must permit none to refuse
to respond or shirk his duty. In the
great American melting pot all lovers
of popular government have been
merged into a tribe-a commingling
of the Sioux, Aapache, Comanche, in
other words, Slavs, Teutons, Saxons,
Latins-a tribe Of Americans. The
call has gone out to the tribe and any
member of the tribe who fails to re-
spond with his person, his services,
his talents and his money must be
dealt with largely according to the
primitive methods of the tribe. We
shall not scalp the Stacker, literally,
with a knife, but do 1t none the less
effectively by more refined modern
methods. 0stracism, business and So
cial. may be found to be the just pun
ishment Of the man who heeds not
the call of the tribe.

GARDEN CROPS WON'T THRIVE
WITH WET FEET

Garden crops will not give good re-
Its unless the soil is kept cultivated
~ the specialists Of the U. s. De-
Jartment of Agriculture.
Cultivation is not intended primar-
fly to kill weeds, although this is i'm
portant, but to loosen the surface and
let air into the soil so as to provide
a more congenial environment for the
roots of the plants. Plants in soil
which Is too wet turn yellow and IL
not relieved by proper cultivation and
drainage, languish and die. Too much
water in the soil dilutes the soil So
luton, impedes the formation of MI
trate, destroyes desirable soil organ
isms and permits the development of
undesirable ones.
Soil which has been too wet, If al
lowed to dry and bake, offers all en-
vironment as uncongenial for plants
as when too wet Either extreme,
therefore, should be guarded against.
II the soil is naturally wet, provide
surface or tile drains. If inclined to
bake after rains, cultivate as soon
as 1t is dry enough. As a rule, STIR
ring the surface two inches will give
better results than deep cultivation.
II the home garden is located near
the kitchen door, the hoe and rake
can conveniently bear SO that odd
moments can be spent in cultivating.

Why EVERY OUNCE OF SUGAR
MUST BE SAVED

II any man has failed to see the
reason why he should cut his plenti-
full apportionment of two spoonfuls
OF sugar to the one of war time, he
can find 1t In recent publication Of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture explaining the worldwide
shortage - especially the shortage
among the Allies-in the supply Of
sweets.
Not only has the supply of sugar in
some parts of the United States been
short, but there has been nactual
shortage of more than 100000 tons
annually in the world since the war
began, and the shortage is likely to
continue, the publication says, pri-
marily because of the destruction of
large number of sugar mills and the
devastation of considerable area of
sugar-producing lands in Europe.
Prior to the war practically all the
belligerent countries, with the excep-
ton of the United Kingdom and Italy.
exported sugar, the total amount be-
ing upward of 100000 tons. War,
however, has changed the sugar-pro-
duction map and at the same time has
shifted the channels of trade. In
1918 it is estimated that the Allies
must import minimum of 100000
tons of sugar.
Formerly the United Kingdom and
France depended to a considerable
extent upon Germany, Austrian-Hun-
gary, Belgium, and Russia for sugar.
These sources were shut off by the
war. The United Kingdom alone thus
lost the source of more than half of
her normal supply of sugar and has
turned to new as we'll as other sources
for her supply. The changes thus
brought about have been largely d.
version of the product of Mauritious
to the United Kingdom instead of to
India, and an expansion of the i'm
ports of unrefined sugar from Cuba,
the Philippines and Peru. For re-
fined sugar she drew upon the Unit
ed States and Java. However, the AL
lies can not turn to such exporting
countries as Java and Mauritius with
out being forced to go a much longer
distance and over a more perilous
route than across the Atlantic. If
the Allies are compelled to go to
these countries it will require an ex-
ira amount of shipping which is need
ed for transportation of American
soldiers and supplies to France and
England.
Russia's exports practically ceased
n 1914, and she is now reported as
somewhat shor of sugar. Italv's |
crop decreased last year and her i'm
ports have increased largely since the
var began. Italy's normal consump-
ton, however, is small and her deficit
Is not serious.
