SUGAR BOWL
IS BAN SHED

The old tfme-honored sugar bowl
has disappeared from Colorado
tables. Facing an intensive canning
and storage season which will prob
ably be unequaled in the history Of
the country, together with a re-
duced beet acreage. the U. S. Food
Administration for Colorado waved
its food control wand and sugar
bowlless meals were established.
According to ]. N. Bundick, chair
man of the sugar division of the
food administration, action of this
nature was necessary to insure a
sufficient supply of sugar to meet
the increased demand of the can
ming season.
"In the Colorado sugar store.
houses there is vast amount Of
sugar. but that amount must be
available for shipping when demands
come and when 1t is possible to OBJ
tain cars. Beet sugar production OF
the United States during the coming
year will be approximately 100000
900 pounds less than last; Cuban
sugar supply, owing to numerous
causes among which are transporta-
ton, political unrest and general. war
conditions is rapidly decreasing. And
sugar conservation now is VITAL"
stated Bundick.
The new sugar regulations allow
consumers to have two teaspoonsful
or two Jumps of sugar to one cup of
tea, coffee or ice tea, and two tea
spoonsful of sugar to each additional
service of fruits. cereals or SO forth.
No sugar is allowed for pie puddings
or any food to which sugar has al
ready been added.

deepest in many years.
Work on the power house at

j. II. Terry. who is operating
the Hall tunnel, has extended his
operations to Democrat mountain,
where in company with George
Teagarden and others he has pur-
chased an interest. in the Roberts
group of claims. Extensive de.
velopment is planned for the
summer months and as the claims
are conceded to be the western
extension of the Astor, Scepter
and Sunburst, great future is
predicted for this property
The Santo property shows much
improvement with development,
the entire vein matter assaying
$40 per ton as it comes out of the

WHITE SPEAKS AT C. OF C.
Chicago Farm Publishing Director in
Interesting Talk Today.

Fred B. White, of Chicago, manag-
ing director of the American Associa-
ton of Farm Publications, was the
speaker of the day az the Chamber of
Commerce this noon. White was intro
duced to the diners by Marco Morrow.
White told of the growth of the mail
order business and it's effect on the
rural communities before the days of
automobiles.
THE automobile or the f1ivver has
revolutionized the system of country
merchandising" declared White. 1.-The
flivver has given the farmer a means
of transportation by which he can
quickly reach a big city near him and
dc his trading in stores where service
and quality are paramount"
White told of the various ways in
which the merchant in the country
trading center may study his custom
erS and the farmers in the adjacent
territory to such good effect that he
may have his goods sold practically
before they are put on the shelves.
White said that the farmer of today
resents being told the way to do bust
ness because he feels, that he too is as
much a business man as the man in
the city or trading center.
White urged that the farm paper be
used as means of city merchants and
community trading center merchants
in reaching their farm trade

PUBLISHERS PROTEST
Postage Rate Proposed Would Be
Discriminatory and Excessive.

Washington, April 30.-Representa
tives of the American newspaper pub
fishers association protested to the
senate postofhce committee today
against the second class mail postage
rates which under the war tax act go
into effect July 1 and urged a modi-
fication of the plan in so far as it af-
fectS newspapers. The zone system
by which one rate is to be charged for
advertising matter and a separate rate
for news sections the publishers con-
tended, is discriminatory and excess
Sive.
In view of, the war and the present
print paper situation they asked that
a lower rate be prescribed. Those APP
pearing today were George McAneny
of the New York Times and Maj. E. b
Stahlman of the Nashville Tenn.
Banner. Both were introduced by
Frank z. Glass of the Birmingham
Ala, News, president of the associa-
ton.
In presenting the witnesses Mr..
Glass read resolution adopted by the
association at New York in which the
plan was pronounced as unavoidable
and urging that no plan of the kind be
placed in operation without a scientific
investigation first The witnesses
heard today represented a committee
or tWenty-one appointed by the asso-
c1auon to consider postal rates.
