AUD PROF|TEER|NG IN LIBERTY BONDS

Word comes from Ajo of extensive profiteering there in the purchase of Liberty Bonds from Mexicans. The Mexican and foreign element there subscribed liberally to all issues of the bonds, and that district easily went over the top. Most of the bonds sold were of the smallest denomination, but they were sold to practically all the men employed there.
 Financial stress and other things caused an outpouring of the bonds, and the holders. ignorant of the market price of them, began selling them for whatever they could get. Large blocks If them have been bought u- at s60 on the S100. One man recently sent a con signment of $500 worth to Los An geles where he realized $ek.

success with which the plan meets in the grammar schools before applying it.
 The board of education is confident that the close of the ensuing semester will find the same results accom- plished as would have been registered had there been no interruption. A closer application will be required of the pupils and the study may be more intensive in character than ordinarily, but none of the subjects will be sighted. To accomplish this purpose, it may prove necessary to lengthen the period two or three weeks. AL though this departure has not been decided upon, it is not thought that it will prove a hardship upon the stu dents in view of the long vacation they have enjoyed.

KIND OF SUGAR IN
TWO POUND RATION

Since requesting the American
public to confine the consumption
Of sugar in the home to two pounds
per person per month, the United
States Food Administration has
been frequently asked what sort Of
Of sugar is included by this two
pound regulation.
All cane and beet sugars are in
,lu,led - graduated sugar, cube
sugar. powdered sugar, anh all re-
fined grades. Moreover, this two
pound restriction includes all raw
sugars, brown sugars, and refin-
ers' soft sugars.
At the present time maple
sugars are not included.

How many spoonsful, please?"

llVN SpoohsIulS plCdCCs
None, thank YOU"
And you have qualified then and
there to join those patriotic Ameri-
cans in all parts Of the nation who
believe that it is the little things that
count in winning this war and are
acting on that belief-the Save-a-
Spoonful-Of-Sugar League. The gov
eminent was not slow 10 recognize the
value of small bits when it comes to
saving either money or food for the
good of democracy. Just as little
little thrift stamps make war savings
stamps, so the little spoonsful of sugar
go to make the pounds for canning
the fruit supply.
Is there such league among your
friends, or do they still smile sheep
iShly and demand two spoOnsful Of
sugar in every cupful Of coffee? It
takes SO level teaspoonsful, only 4S
rounded teaspoonsful and only 80
heaping teaspOOnsful of sugar to make
pound. Not very many, is it. when
you stop and count up all the tea
spoonsful that your family uses each
day? Suppose you have been careful
and use only three level teaspOonsful
in your tea and coffee and on your
cereals each day. If as a war meas
ure YOU agree to sacrifice that sugar
YOU will have saved a great part of
your monthly allowance. And after
few days training you will not
miss that little bit Of sugar replaced
by other sweeteners, such as dried
and fresh fruits, syrups, honey and
mOlaSSeS.
A group Of ten persons binding
themselves together in solemn
league to save sugar by the spoonful
can save at least thirty spoOnsful a
day. nine hundred month. or ap-
proximately nine pounds each month.
That's quite bit toward presery~
inc the fruit supply isn't it? Those
members of the league with Il strong
rr sweet tooth and weaker will
might try the "Baby Bank" idea to
get them properly started in the
league. Instead of putting the snoon-
full of sugar into their coffee in the
morning they might deposit it in a
Saving bowl" The swatch 1t grow"
factor would keep interest in the
league. At the end of ten days this
careful saver Of spoonsful would have
almost one-third Of a pound saved
without having missed it from his
meals.
