were able to deliver a normal amount of sugar every day.
 The supply of raw sugar in the early summer gave evidence of being enough for all needs.
 But the rate of consumption had increased. An extra 45O. .000.0o0 pounds were required to meet the needs of the people from June up to November.
 You can't eat your cake and have it too."
 A part of this increased demand for sugar was due to the nation wide save the fruit crop move men&. The sugar thus used is not gone. It is saved. It is simply in the fruit and jam jar instead of the sugar bowl.
 Sugar has sold in the United States throughout the war at an average price lower than in any other country. It is one of the cheapest foods the nation has.
 Admittedly one of the reascns fer this brilliant showing, in view of changed world conditions, has been the fact that the domestic cane refining industry is in large units.
 It is noteworthy uzuuse Cthe domestic refining industry which will be better appreciated the more the events of the last two years are studied.
 Domino Package Sugars have been of great value in the wider and more even distribution of sugar.
 A barrel holds 3su pounas CT loose sugar, all of which usually goes to one grocer. 1t has been possible to ship practically the same amount of package sugar in three l20-pound cases to three different grocers.
 The grocer has been able to handle these Domino Cane Sugars already packased in cartons and small cotton bags, thus tending to check hoardinE.
 It will be necessary for srocers and consumers to watch carefully their distribution and purchases during the approaching period of readiustment.

 The refineries are now starting up and supplies of raw sugar con- ing forward, but it will take weeks, and possibly months, for the re. turn of normal conditions.

the Central Powers. About c production is unavailable to tl
 The main sources of available sugar for the United States and the Allies are narrowed down to theWest Indies principally Cuba( Hawaii. the Philippines, Louisi- ana, and the suSar-beet fields of the Middle West.
 Cuba has now increased its pro. duction of sugar cane, but Eng land, France and other foreign countries perforce have increased their importations of sugar from Cuba.
 There is an abundance of sugar in far-away Java. 1t is as useless to the world as unmined gold, be- cause no nation can spare the ships to carry it.
 This country and Europe could only procure sugar from Java by using ships badly needed to carry American troops and supplies to France.
 It takes l5O days for a cargo ship travelling at the rate of 200 miles day to go from England to Java and return, counting in the loading and discharsing at both ends. The same ship travel ing between New York and France takes 50 days for round trip.
 Therefore the same ship can make three round trips between New York and France while it is making one round trip between England and Java.
 The competition among nations for Cuban raw sugar has forced up its price, with a necessary cor responding increase in the cost of refined sugar. This competition has now been overcome by the combined efforts of the United States Food Administration, the Allied Governments, and all ele- ments of the sugar industry.
 In the midst of such abnormal conditions, this Company has done everything within its power, in cooperation with the Govern. ment. to provide an even distribu- ton of sugar to consumers at the lowest possible price.
 In constant effort to stabilize the price, we have even sold sugar at less than market pr1ceS-f0r some time at a full cent a pound below the market.
 Last February and March there were severe strikes in the re. fineries of this and other com nAuies. But in the face of the new problems thus created, we

sWers Athletics Suit.

CLEVELAND, O., July 20.-The Bos-
ton National League base ball club, in
common pleas court. today filed an an
swer to the suit of the Philadelphia
American League club, involving the
title to Pitcher Scott Perry. now play
ing with the Philadelphia club. The
suit resulted in a restraining order
being issued preventing the Boston Ma
tionals and the national base ball COM
mission from interfering with Perry.
The answer filed today denies that
the ruling of the national commission
in gtvtng title to Perry to the Boston
club was arbitrary and alleges that
the commissions ruling is binding.
The answer alleges the Boston club
made no claim for Perry until April
~. this year. because the club did not
know until two days prior to that date
that he was again engaged in playing
professional ball, he having retired while
the Boston club had a thirty-day, op-
tion upon his service for $500, with
the privilege Of extending the time. con-
tract.
The Boston club alleges it notified the
national commission September 2s, 1917,
that Perry was on the clubs reserve list
for 1918.
