A bulletin was figured out that
the sugar used in the army from
September l, 1917. to June 80,
1918. period Of egiht months,
would make solid wall four feet
wide and five feet high and would
extend from Baltimore to Wash
ington. 1t would require 1915
sixty-foot box-cars and six men
working eight hours a day for
five years to unload it. 1t is es-
timated that every soldier, con-
sumes 81 pounds per capita, which
is keeping up the tradition of the
American people in splendid
shape.

STATE WIDE CAMPAIGN FOR
FOOD PRODUCTION.

A food production campaign
that is expected to reach every
nook and corner Of the State will
be launched next January by the
Extension Division of the Louis
lana State University. This will
be part Of a nationwide effort to
produce next year the largest
food and feed crops the country
has ever known. The necessity
for producing every ounce of food
possible is more apparent every
day. and nothing will be left I'M
done to get q maximum acreage
planted and a maximum increase
in live stock. Every agency that
can be utilized will be put to
work informing the people of the
great need for growing more food.
The press, the pulpit, the orator..
the schools, the motion pictures,
the banker and the merchant will
be called upon. Between now and
January every parish will be or
ganized for the campaign. All
the factors that affect food pro-
duction will be taken in consid-
GRAFTON and solved as far as pos
slble. Improved machinery is
expected to very largely offset the
labor shortage. While the men
are being urged to produce, the
women will be urged to conserve.
Facts and figures will be present
I'd that will leave no shadow Of
doubt In the mind Of anyone as
70 the necessity for his getting
busy in the interest Of himself and
humanity. Your services will be
needed. Il. s. u. Press Bulletin.

A Yank in a German war pri-
SON made a nice use of words in
telling what he thought about
German treatment Of prisoners.
He did it this way:
"We are treated well. The
Germans are kind to us. They
provide us with the best of ev-
erything. There is only one
thing we prisoners here could
wish for, and that is to be at
"Greenlawn."
That got by the sharp eye Of
the Hun censor, who didn t know
that "Greenlawn" was the ceme-
terry in the -Yank's town. IRE ~

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Men of
the new draft ages will first be
modified in large numbers early
in November under draft call
now in preparation at Provost
Marshal General Crowder's office.
1t calls for the entrainment of
more than 100000 men qualified
for general military service. They
will be furnished in proportionate
numbers by every state in the
Union.
Draft calls suspended during
October because of the influenza
epidemic have been renewed in
sections where the epidemic has
moderated, and entrainment Of
all men under the October calls
probably will be completed before
the November quota is started to
the cantOnments.

The point we now desire

| The point we now desire t.
raise is that for these soft sugar
there have been formed fv
groups and presumably standart
samples arranged for them. TIL
quality Of these sugars would b.
j determinable by the samples as t,
their polarization and color an(
yet no data was given by thu
Louisiana committee as to the re
strictions, polarization and color
The first group Of this sugar
would be SO points off, that would
be 50 points off 8 cents less 2 pei
cent, or 80 points off S.02 cents
The second group would be sc
points off. the third group TO-.
points off, the fourth group III
| points off and the fifth group 12C
points off.
Now. let us take the sugar re-
fneries, in which two Of the mem
bers Of the sugar control board
are interested. On the basis of
fine granulated, the Arbuckle re-
finery has sixteen grades below
fine granulated. No. l is Is
points off, No. 2 $50 points off,
No. 3 % points off, No. 4 30
points off and so on, running on
down to the 9th grade, which is
80 points off. The Howell REIN
cry, in which the American Sugar
Refinery is largely interested. has
fifteen grades, beginning at 1885,,
or Is points off. and running
down to S.25, or Is points off. The
Franklin concern, coadjutor Of
the American Sugar Refining
Company, has also Is grades be-
low their 9 cents for granulated.
No. l is Is points off, No. 2 20
points off and so on down to Isl
points off. q Il ~
Similar soft sugars from the
Louisiana sugar factories begin
with 80 points off, and end with
12O points off. 1t is a plain fast
that there is natural inequity
here and that soft sugars turned
out b ythe sugar refiners after |
their many boilings are held upl
within 80 points of fine granu-
ated, the better varieties within
Is points, whereas Louisiana SUI
CARS, intrinsically better in quail
ty, start with 80 points off and !
ire limited to five grades.
We have adverted to this in
equity before, and would hope

lucing their sugars. will them
selves use up all of their low
grade sugars by quick crystalli-
.ation and remelting them and
making regular hard-arained va

This can be as well done in the
