Is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look In July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge OF the
results already obtained in every d.

that democracy will not defend itself

GOVERNOR Cats
ENDORSES A|R-MA|L
FOR FLOR|OA

,u Through correspondence published
!. today, between Governor Cats and
the Standard Aircraft Corporation, of
Elizabeth, n. J., it became known that
the governor is seeking the extension
: of the air mail TO Florida The fol-
lowing letter from the Standard Air
craft Corporation to Governor Cats
was made public:
ST have your letter of November sth
about an air route from Pensacola to
-cNew York. There is no sucn route
at the present time, nor so far as
{. know, has one been definitely laid out.
The nearest approach is a route which
z has been mapped out by the Aero Club
/ Of America, known as the Wright
q Brothers Airway.
This airway runs from New York
to Philadelphia, to Washington, to
Atlanta, to Birmingham and thence
west to the Pacific Coast. Birming-
ham is it's nearest point to Pensacola.
'1but so far as know, no attempt has
been made to chart a route between
these two points. This, however,
]. should be done.
THE Aero Club also has plans for
a hydroplane service which they ad-
vocate between Galveston, New Or
leans, Pensacola, Tampa, Key West.
Miami and st. Augustine This as
: you will notice touches numerous
Florida ports, and would undoubtedly
be Of considerable advantage to the
? people Of Florida
~ To this letter the governor replied
as follows:
Il have your letter recent date In
: which you tell me that there is no
route from Pensacola to New York.
4 hold myself ready to help you at any
time to obtain this route.
With best wishes and thanking you
for your letter, 1 am, your very truly.

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People %
the United States Averted q
Famine at Home In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people OF tins
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar tn
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 400. 900 tons per month,
a total Of LOCO, coo for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced TO 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325, 900 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions OF the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the throes Of sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1T would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be q mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth 50 pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton Of sugar. By 1t we have been able
to bridge over tho period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight
Now the nation is in position 20
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release OF ships to go
far afleld, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rationA. II, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

yet it is guiltless of a single frill. It

According to the juvenile French

What is the attitude of the French
French are very polite people, and
no matter what their inmost thoughts
may be, they are not likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary. But the children of

the private opinions of their parents.

MARIE TIFFANY.

Miss Marie Tiffany, soprano Of
the Metropolitan Opera Company,
assisted by Mr.. Graham Harris, will
be heard in an unique recital at the
Opera House on the evening of
Thursday, September 10, 1918.
Miss Tiffany is one of the most
promising young sopranos now on
the concert stage. She commenced
her musical education On the Pacific
Coast; then studied in Paris for
several years. On her return to this
country she Immediately became
popular in her old home locality
the coast.
Miss Tiffany visited New York in
the fall Of 1916, with no intention
of remaining in the East. Friends
who admired her voice and art in
duced her to sing Gulio Gatti Casaz-
"a, the impresario of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company; The result was
an immediate offer of contract to
join the Metropolitan Company,
which Miss Tiffany did.
Her progress with the Opera Com
pany has been steady and very sat-
isfactory due to her glorious voice,
keen musical intelligence and engag-
ing personality.
Mr.. Graham Harris is an artist of
considerable reputation who has
toured in this country for several
seasons, making friends and admir-
ers wherever he has been heard, be-
cause of his SERIOUS attitude toward
his art as we'll as his unusual talent.
Admittance to the recital will be
by card only.

JUST LIKE THE MOVIES.

Once upon a time there was a
beautiful, young telephone operator.
She had golden hair and clear, blue
eyes. But with all this wealth that
nature had bestowed upon her, she
was unhappy. AS she sat over the
telephone switchboard reading "Susie
Sugar, or The Mystery of a Broken
Heart" tears dropped quietly on
the picture of the raven locked hero.
Just at that moment, a young man
entered the room. The new manager
of the Opera House wanted to know
why the phone over at the theatre
was not working. He was not raven
locked, but he was good looking. 1t
was love at first sight. :,
Mr.. Reginald Glenn Kay, of the
Opera House, plays the part of the
handsome hero. Miss Margaret Nc
Cord, resident of. Magazine Street,
appears in the role of the fearful
telephone girl. That she portrayed
this touching character with mar
velous grace and realism will be ap-
parent to all who 60 to the moving
picture theatre, where they appear
nightly. How they finally overcame
ali obstacles and decided to live
happily ever afterwards can best be
told by Rev. Geo. W. Swope, who
married them quietly at his home
Sunday afternoon at four-thirty. The
sisters of the bride, Misses Essie Lee
and Elizabeth McCord, were the
witnesses of the ring ceremony there
performed.
The young couple carry with them
the congratulations of their many
friends. For the present, they will
reside at the Eureka hotel.
