SUGAR SITUATION BAD
Food Administration Cutting
Down on Sugar for Pro-
duct of Non-Essentials.

The United States Food Admins
tration announces that there will not
be enough sugar to go around until
next October. Conservation must be
practiced not only by the ordinary
household consumer, but by the manu-
facturers of any commodity of which
sugar is an Ingredient.
The shortage is due to lack of raw
material in this country, lack of fuel
and decrease in labor supply due to
urgent need of man power in the
more essential industries. There is
plenty of sugar in the West Indies
and other places if we can import it
in time to meet the demand. y
Due to the marine transportation
situation throughout the world and
the absolute necessity Of utilizing
every ship that is suitable for service,
in transatlantic transportation, it Is
an impossibility to import sufficient
quantities of sugar, Experts are work
ing day and night to increase the
efficiency of transportation facilities,
and are using means for transporta-
tion that were never used before.
AS a remedial measure, the United
States Food Administration has de-
creed that manufacturers of Hon-eS-
sentials, such as soft drinks, gums
and confectionerieS, be limited to so
per cent of the amount of sugar they
used last year. Mr.. Rolph points to
the fact that in England and France
the use of sugar has been reduced
Is per cent, and they get along with
out any complaint. We should get
along just as well in this country,
with reduction to 80 per cent of the
normal use of sugar in nOn-essentlals.
The canning season is close at hand
and a large amount of sugar must be
conserved for this purpose. The can
ming of food is necessity, and the
only way to make it possible is to
limit the use of sugar at this time.
After the fruit crop has been taken
care, the United States Food Admin
istration anticipates supply OF sugar
in the latter months of the year that
will put the manufacturer of non-es'
senial food products on somewhat
normal basis.

Letters from the BOYS

Eagle River people will undoubted-
ly be surprised to hear that Rev. A.
N. Samwell, formerly vicar OF ST. Ig-
natius' Episcopal church, is now in
Uncle Sans khaki somewhere in
France as chaplain with the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces. A letter
to Mr.. and Mrs. James Morgan this
week announced the fact. Fir. Sam
well was vicar of the local church In
l9lO-1912. During his residence here
he acquired legion Of friends who
are glad to know that he is doing his
bit under Democracy's banner. And
coming as he does, from family
whose valorous deeds have shown on
the pages of naval and military his
tory of their country, it goes without
saying that FIR. Samwell, under the
new flag of freedom will uphold the
highest traditions .of his forbears in
his new work on the war-torn fields OF
France. Rev. Samwell is son of the
late Col. Samwell of the Black Watch,
regiment whose glorious achieve
ments are familiar to every student
of English history. The letter fol

! NY dear Mrs. Morgan--I am think
ing. that you and some of my kind
friends in Eagle River may be inter
ested to receive a few lines from me
in France.
I arrived here the early part OF
January after an interesting voyage
with no special incident excepting
after day in the war zone when two
shots were fired at supposed sub
marine which caused tremendous ex-
citement at the time but later proved
to be whale.
| MY duties here are very interesting
I am stationed in base hospital some
miles from Paris on the outskirts OF
very ancient city. / have met several
boys from Wisconsin and have always
hoped to run across some from Eagle
River, but SO far the nearest / have
come across have been from Amigo
and one from Medford, where / went
from Eagle River.
The people in France are very cor
dial and nice. They are far behind us
in their ideas and the way they dc
things, but 1 believe they will become
more Americanized after the war.

VIM. Davies has been transferred
from the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station to the eastern coast ready to
ship to sea. The following letter to
his parents, Rev. and Mrs. ". J.
Davies, is interesting.
u. S. Naval Operative Base, Hamp-
ton Roads, Va, Unit j. Co. 3lS.
Dear Mother and ALL
It seems like mighty short time
since I piled onto the train Virginia
bound. But it's a long time since
I've read fresh news from home.
While we were, at Camp Dewey the
companies were moving out fast. All
at once we were moved. We went to
Camp Ross for two and one-half days
then we packed up for Norfolk. We
have been busy here and the change
of climate and the effects of the trip
have been holding us down. We sure
had great trip. 1t took two days
and two nights and we arrived at 100
a. M, about all in. Everything is diff
/ ferent here. No cameras are allowed
in camp. This is an Operative Base.
Airplanes hum all around, and the
James Bay is full of boats Of different
kinds. We see men from the feet
quite often but they don't tell us
where their ships are.
I had shore leave last p. m. from
It'll l. / went to Norfolk Is miles
from here. 1t seemed good to be
away from station. We wear white
clothes all the time so we have to
wash them every day. | went to the
bandmaster today to transfer to
the band. He gave me some music
to play, and said 0 K. I'll probably
be playing in the band by next Mon
day. My pocket book is nearly fat
now so I don't care whether get
shore leave again very soon as don't
know when pay day comes. We drew
new clothes today.
Today was Memorial Day. We had
drill, passed in review, and then went
to the auditorium to memorial SER
vice. A fine soprano sang, also ten
or. A Jackie orchestra played and
high naval officer spoke. We had
chicken, fresh biscuits, fresh bread,
stew, salad, pie and bananas for din
ner. Yum! Yum! The darkies do all
the labor here so we don't have to
swing picks any more. Our company
leaves in about two weeks for sea.
They go to the rifle range next week
and, then off for no one knows where.
Tell my friends of my change and
tell them to write.
Your loving son and brother,
WILLIAM.

pie waiting for street. r exposed
themselves if the M were allow
ed to remain ina state of>semt-dark-
ness, and finally the committee &C.
