SUGAR SHORTAGE IS MO RE ACUTE.
Housekeepers Are Urged to Further Saving As Step
 to Victory.

Washington. July 2s-The saving of sugar by the American people in larger quantities than at any time since the entry of the United States into the war was asked today by the Federal Food Administration. The shortage, 1t is stated, is becoming more acute. due to the partial failure of the cane and sugar beet sugar crops and the increasing acquisitions for sweetstuffs for the American SOL diers which arc coming from Gen. Pershing.
 Households which recently were all lotted three pounds a month for each persons are asked now to reduce this quantity to two pounds and to en- ploy substitutes like syrups whenever possible. Each pound of sugar saved now is a step toward victory for the American armies.
 Candy and oweetstuffs are being given to the troops of Gen. Pershjnc as they return from the trenches and the fighting for it's recuperative ef- fects. The officers of the America n army nave found 1t to be one of the strongest factors in maintaining the liSHtIHS eOse or the armies and preventing depression and melancholy among the soldiers. The French and English are employing 1t for the same purpose. The Germans have re- sorted to beers and wines with the same object in view.
 The shortage of sugar in the United States ig due primarily to the de- creased production of sugar cane in the Mississippi delta and gulf coas, country and the small crop of sugar beets fin the west, The cane crou in Porto Rico has fallen behind the expectations of the planters and the shortage in ships will prevent the i'm. portation of sugar from Java and the Philippines.
 0. "The situation is so serious that every possible means of conservation should be employed" 1t was stated today at the Food Administration.
 The canning of food and fruits with. out the use of sugar whenever possi. ble is asked by the Food Administra. ton, Limitation of its use durins meals to actual necessities is reouest. ed too. Relief from the shortage {, Tn prospect as soon as the creos o- cane and beets now growing in the tropics are harvested, This source 1, expected to provide supply by the first of the year.

JAMES JACKSON
To Speak to Red Cross
Members Friday
Manager Of New England Division
Will Be in Au-usta for Address in
Senate Chamber Ct State Houee

James Jackson, manager of the
New England Division CT the Amer
lean Red Cross, viii. be in Augusta
Friday and will informally address
the members Of the Augusta chapter
in the Senate chamber ut the State
House.
This news was telegraDhed to the
!, local headquarters by Blaine s. Viles,
chairman Of the Augusta chapter,
who is in Boston.
1t is not known upon what subject
Mr.. Jackson will speak. but he will
hardly lack material. The ending of
the world war has increased. rather
than lessened, the duties and respon-
sibilities of the Red Cross. The work
OF caring for wounded troops will
rapidly decrease but the work of
caring for the millions of destitute
and starving people in Europe and
Asia will test the resources Of the
Red Cross to the utmost. 1t is like
ly that Mr.. jackson will have some
thing to say in regard to the duties
and responsibilities of the Red Cross
through the next year or two. Not
improbably he will talk also Of the
the annual membership drive which
will come as it did last year, just be-
fore Christmas.
Mr.. Jackson was heard in Augusta
about q year ago. He is an able
speaker and always has a real mes
sage to deliver.
