THE SUGAR SITUATION

The Food Administration makes the follow
ing statement:
Developments during the last few days
necessitate more conservation of sugar. The
Food Administration has therefore decided to
limit sales for ordinary consumption to two
pounds to the town or city consumer and five
pounds to the rural or farm consumer. The
situation in Illinois is puzzling one. The re-
tail distributor received during May, on the al
lotment plan in use in Illinois, an amount
which seemed to be fully adequate to cover de-
mands based on a somewhat smaller use of
sugar in the household than in 1917. It was ap-
parent before the end of May that the amounts
allotted were not taking care Of the demand.
We have no means of determining whether the
consumer has been careless in the use Of sugar.
but it is apparent that the retail distributor
while not selling so much at one time must be
selling more frequently, which defeats the OBJ
ject of the limitation. The patriotic house
holder will limit his purchases to three pounds
per person per month and we believe that this
is generally observed. We know there are
others who are thoughtless and careless and
others who are deliberately unpatriotic and are

The sugar limitation includes brown and
other sugars. A special allowance Of twenty

LEADING EXPRESS COMPANIES
CONSOLIDATE

Detailed information has been received by
Deacon j. Fl. Paxton, local agent Of the Ameri-
can Express Company, in regard to the con-
solidation of the four big express organizations
under the guidance Of Director General Nc
Adoo
The new company will be capitalized at
$30,OOO000. Instead of having numerous con-
tracts with individual railroads, there will be
but one blanket contract with the entire govern
ment controlled system.
By this contract, the American Railroad Ex-
press Company, as the consolidated organiza-
ton is called, will collect, insure, guard and de-
liver express shipments as in the past, and the
government railroads will haul them The ex-
press rates will be under government control
In the future, merchants manufacturers and
individuals need merely specify BY Express"
in shipping packages.
The leading express companies will eliminate
the individual identity which has separated
them in the past, and offer to their patrons a
unified express service.

THE HOLY CITY

The final goal toward which the Christian
looks forward in his pilgrimage through life
with rapt anticipation was illustrated by the
singing Of ''The Holy City, by Miss Clendinen
while sixteen Seventh and Eighth Grade girls,
in white robes, accompanied the beautiful words
with fitting and impressive gestures.
At the words last night lay a-sleeping, =
the girls rested their heads on their hands, at
the side, as if in repose; when the part was
sung II stood in old Jerusalem, = they pointed
toward the earthly Jerusalem and at the words,
g AS the shadow Of a Cross arose upon a lonely
HILL, they extended their arms in representa-
ton of cross.
In the last joyous outburst Of the song, as the
beauty of the Holy City burst on their vision
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Sing, for the night is DER,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna forevermore,
the girls clasped their hands in front Of them,
and with radiant faces, extended them slowly
toward the New Jerusalem.

more sacred or beautiful, and many people in
the audience were moved to tears

BOmbarded From Water and

Nearly 800 Persons in Cast of
This Outdoor Display.

The quaint old French town lay Just
beyond the reach of the bloody arm of
the ravaging hosts of Germany in the
last offensive, and thus had escaped
the devastating tide of the battle. The
defenders of the town had returned
without being called into action, al
tho the presence of machine guns
field pieces on caterpillar wheels,
tanks and barb wire entanglements
evidenced preparedness. Pacing SEN
tinels are seen bordering the canton
ment on the outskirts of the town,
while the skyline is marked by a grim
mountain, cathedral spire and the
towers Of lower buildings. In the
foreground the Inhabitants gather and
kneel for the benediction of the arch
bishop. while procession of civilians
and military wind in and out of the
plaza, all Joining in festival already
in progress.
The commanding officers attention
is suddenly called to a signal being
given by a lone man on the tower.
The officer kills the man with his
automatic, and during the uproar the
soldiers form a hollow square about
their commander End march out of
camp.
ShclIed From Battleships.
The thunder of distant cannon
pounds the air, and ships are seen
entering the harbor to get range of the
ing shrapnel, exploding gas bombs, the
hurried movement of troops, trucks,
tanks. machine guns, mortars, strikes
terror to the hearts of the populace
Shells from the battleships fall in the
rear of the defending armies, and they
begin a retiring movement from their
trenches. leaving great clouds of
poisonous gas in the face of the
enemy. Heavy mines are exploded,
big guns are brought up and turned
seward. The wireless station in the
great tower is seen to take fire just
before big Zeppelin drifts slowly
over the town dropping bombs. Two
airplanes attacking from opposite direc-
tons engage the Yep in terrific air
battle.
Meanwhile the flagship of the at
lacking fleet sinks and the defending
fleet destroys the remaining dread
naughts. At the same time the noun
tain seems to awaken and begins an
eruption of fiery lava directed as by
Providence upon the enemy from
their base of supplies and their big

time in any war in which we have
ever engaged, Representative Ga1livan
of Massachusetts, jumped to his feet,
demanding that the house be inform
ed if there were information that there
have been whole regiments wiped out.
Mr.. Crago said he did not mean ex-
actiy that sense.
Senator Thomas, in the senate de-
bate, declared despite high wages,
cessation of labor is occurring daily,
and some men are working only part
of the time. He told, also. of q strike
of seventeen thousand persons employ
ed in plant manufacturing gas
masks, and asked:
MY God, can there be any question
of requiring this labor to be done by
men exempt from the trenches to do
this work.
Denies Right TO Strike.
Charges that a work or fight pro-
vision would permit capital to exploit
labor were declared untrue by the
senator. who said that was impossible
when the demand for labor is greater
than the supply.
81 wouldn't say that labor is ex-
plotting capital he continued. "altho
1 believe it. but do say that labor is
exploiting the treasury of the United
States. - deny the right to
strike during this war. To strike in

YANKS SAVED PARIS
Childrcn Moved From City When
Huns Were Held at Chateau Thierry.

Camp Upton. N. Y. Aug. 24.-That
the appearance of the American boys
at Chateau Thierry saved Paris and
the war, was the assertion of Mrs.
Anne Steese Richardson, the writer
and novelist, just returned from four
months visit in France, in a speech to
Upton men here today.
There were only worn out terri
torials between Chateau Thierry and
Paris to Withstand the enemy who was
pressing on that sector" said Mrs.
Richardson.
Newspaper correspondents told me
that there seemed no hope for Paris,
that they expected the city to be
sacked and taken. During the crisis
the gold of Paris and the small chill
dren were removed from the capital
But the appearance of American
troops at Chateau Thierry, fresh and
eager for the fray, turned the trick.
The presence of the American troops
so cheered the tired veterans that they
fought with renewed vigor and the
combined forces turned defeat into
victory and pushed the invaders back. !"

Catholic Mass and Protestant Conn.,
munion Celebrated in Same Church.
An army chaplain of the Episcopal
pei sion tells of some experience he
had on the western front when his
regiment was quartered in a little
town. The Huns had destroyed every
thing there, not even leaving a build
ing to hold services in. A part Of his
story is as follows:
Finally I went to see the Roman
Catholic chaplain, a fine, broad, big
hearted Irishman from Boston. Why
not use the church?' he said at once.
But I thought it was destroyed, and
anyway didn't suppose you'd let me-
I answered. Well, they had put a
roof on in place of the original one,
and the altar hadn't been hurt. so at
8 o'clock in the morning he said Mass
in the church. at S:45 I had my Pro-
testant Communion service, and at
$3.50 there was another Mass"
5 In the little narrative we can see
the beautiful logic of the war. The
sacrifice on the awful battle line is
, not far different from that of Calvary,
for in each case the blood is shed for
ALL We are not going to be so hide
bound in our religious views and prac-
tices when the battles for freedom
and civilization have been won. There
will doubtless be Catholics, Methodists
and Jews after the war is over, but
they will love one another.-Ohio
