GIVES FORTUNE TO
son WHO ENLISTS

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, May g.
A letter from Colonel r. p Dickerson-
once candidate for governor of Mis-
souri,. unfolds story that reads like
a novel. BY his first wife, Dickerson
had son, Harold. Dickerson and his
wife separated and Harold stayed with
the mother, and as a result the father
never took any interest in the boy.

Cross shows location of iron ore

pected American drive.
There are men in the American war
department who hope to see American
troops some day drive eastward from
Verdun into that portion of Lorraine
now held by the enemy. They believe
that at one stroke this would of itself
almost end the war.
The reason is: IRON ORE SUP
PLY.
When the Germans took part of

1870 they took some of the finest iron
ore beds in the world They left to
the French the ore in Longway and
Briey, and neutral Luxembourg had
the rest. A few days after the pres
ent war was declared, Hun troops
marched into French Lorraine and
Luxemburg, getting possession of all
this iron.
A drive 35 miles eastward from Yer
dun would rob the Germans of three
fourths of their visible iron supply.
That would ruin them.

THINGS WORTH WHILE.

These are the things worth
while:
The rainbow after rain.
The peace that follows pain;
The touch of little chfldren's
hands,
And sweet affections subtle
bands;
The blue sky up above;
The tender thrill of woman's
love;
! The sacrifices that are part
And parcel of a mothers heart;
The good, the beautiful, the
true,
The melody that stirs anew
Strange yearning- after nobler
things;
The simple song the robin sings,
The dew upon the garden rose:
The flower that by the wayside
grows
To claim a homeless urchin's
smile
All these are things worth while.

ed sugar, the total amount be-
ing upward of 100000 tons.
War, however, has changed the
sugar-production map and at
the same time has shifted the
channels of trade. In 1918 it is
estimated that the allies must
import a minimum of 1000, 900
tons of sugar.
Formerly the United King
dom and France depended to. a
considerable extent upon Ger
many, Austria Hungary, Belgi-
lum 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 well as other old
sources for her supply. The
changes thus brought about
have been largely a diversion
of the product of Mauritius to
the United Kingdom instead of
to India, and an expansion of
the imports of unrefined sugar
from Cuba, the Philippines and
Peru. For refined sugar she
draws upon the United States
and Java. However, the allies
can not turn to such exporting
countries as Java and Mauritius
without being forced to go a
much longer distance and over
a more perilous route than
across the Atlantic. If the al
lies are compelled to go to these
countries it will require an ex-
ira amount of shipping which
lis needed for transportation of
American soldiers and sup
plies to England and France.
