TOO MUCH SUGAR IS
IN JAPAN AND JAVA
(By United Press. }

Toxic, Aug. 1.-(By Mail.)-
While housewives of America and
Europe are suffering from shortage
of sugar, those of the Far East have
a superabundance of the sweet. Toxic
sugar dealers are wroth, for they fear
the product Of the Japanese empire
is to be driven off the market, or
greatly lowered in value, by sugar
imported from Java.
Java is at the bottom Of the trou-
BILE. With a smaller crop export de-
mand than usual, it's centrifugal su-
gar has accumulated into great stocks
at Batavia and Sourabaya, and con-
sequently prices there are down. This
week the prices have dropped from
1926 to $3.1O a picul. 133 pounds)
so that the present price at Batavia
for centrifugal sugar is about two
and a third cents pound. With
higher prices in Japan, it is to be
expected that sugar should flow this
way. 1t is being suggested in Toxic
that available space on ships plying
from Yokohama to San Francisco and
Seattle should be devoted to sugar on
the ground that it is not economy
to waste either ship space or fruit
available for canning.

MAKE RESERVATIONS
NOW FOR SLEEPERS .
TO THE STATE FAIR

All those who intend to make the
trip to the state fair and be here the
opening day, should promptly notify
the agent at the Union depot, that
car reservations may be made for the
sleeper Saturday night.
J! AS it now is, there is only one
sleeper run from international Falls,
half of which is for Intern ational
Falls and intermediate points, the
other half for Bemidji and on down
the line, so it can readily be seen that
extra accommodations are necessary.
These will be furnished If sufficient
number make application.

They looked just as good as the
general said they were. But when
we visited one of their camps half an
hour later the first man to whom we
were introduced bore name as Ger
man as Ludendorff. Tha might
seem to refute the generals theory,
if this man, a captain, had not talked
with drawl that comes from being
born in the land of cotton.
On hill-slope close by target
practice with machineguns was under
way. Every now and then there
came burst Of excited cheering; 1t
sounded like ball game. That was
one of the reasons this was the best
division in the army, the captain ex-
planned; there was keen competition
among the men themselves and in
stead of keeping this feeling bottled
up it was encouraged in every way.
OF course, he said, there wasn't much
real necessity for teaching his men
to shoot, since they came from a
section where everybody knew how
to use a rifle. A man who couldn't
hit buzzard in tree top at half a
mile, was considered community
disgrace. .*-5"

Southern boys. However,
