CANT use and waste are
War has disturbed the
whole worlds sugar supply.
It has not only wiped out any
available surplus, but it has
put all nations on a hand-to.
mouth basis.
The European Allies were
the first to feel the pinch.
Before the war, enough sugar
was produced on the Con-
tinent to supply all Europe.
Today, two-thirds Of this
susar.producins area is with.
in the battle lines.
England, France and other
nations have had to turn
elsewhere for a supply Of this
indispensable food.
And they came to Cuba
the main source upon which
the United States depends for
its cane sugar. During 1917,
Cuba sold and shipped to
Europe nearly 100000 tons
Of raw su&ar-one-third Of its
crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption
Of sugar as food in this coun-
try, the nationwide move
ment to save the fruit crop
last season greatly increased
its use.
But this increased con-
sumption Of sugar has been a
real factor in combating
waste. It enabled the Ameri-
can housewife to add to the
store Of the food Of the ma
ton at a time when fruits
and vegetables were plenti-
ful and cheap.
The sugar is not only in the
fruit jar, but it has carried
into the pantries Of the coun-
try a vast supply Of fruit and
vegetables which would
otherwise have been lost.
Sugar itself is not only a food,
but it is also the great pre-
server Of other foods.
As the demand for sugar
grew, both here and abroad,
Cuba's supply was exhausted
last fall. Every available
ton in Porto Rico and other
cane sugar countries was &C
CURED. But this was not
enough, and the shortage
Came.
In war time and at al
safeguard the interests

The Hand at the Wheel

AT the other desk is Mrs. Arthur
Cummer-director of the woman's bu-
reau of the Jacksonville Forwarding
House is her title-but those who
know call her the guiding spirit of the
department, for it is her hand that
controls the mechanism of the orga-
lization. The dark eyed, charming wo-
man who has put aside the role Of
one of Jacksonville's most prominent
Ihostesses to take part in the work of
humanity.
Above her desk hangs list of her
assistants, with the day of the week
on which each will serve-women
who have been carefully trained in
the making of Red Cross garments
and bandages that they may be capa.
BILE of Judging the work of others.
Here and there on the walls patriotic
lposters bring home to one the need
for the work these women are doing.
In the next room are long tables
piled with hospital shirts, GONZALES
cent gowns, shoulder capes, operating
caps and masks, leggings, bed socks
and comforts that must be inspected
before they are stored in presses that
line both sides of the room.
Each press is divided into three
shelves, with one packing box capac-
ity. When a shelf is filled with one
article its contents are transferred to
one of the huge wooden boxes, that
will be opened in France.
Tiers of Boxes
Where the line of presses ends at
each side of the room, row of bins
begins each bins also of packing box
capacity. And at the back are boxes
piled tier on tier. One box holds 120
sweaters, another rs convalescent
gowns. Shoulder to shoulder with it
is another holding 240 hospital bed
shirts, and beside 1t one with los COM
fort pillows.
In spotless room lined with shelv-

Red Cross Forwarding
House In Jacksonville
Is First Independent
One In Sou. Divition

Jacksonville Jan. 19.-Everyone in
Jacksonville knows of the Red Cross
Workrooms occupying the whole sixth
floor of the Southern Bell building,
where soft bandages are made, sweat
ers are knit, hospital garments are
swiftly fashioned for the boys "Over
there"-few, probably, know of the
rooms at S37 West Bay street, where
not only the work Of the Jacksonville
chapter but of sixty-five other chap
tiers in the State is inspected, passed
on and packed to start on it's mission
of mercy to final destination in the
crowded hospitals Of France.
Yet since the rooms were opened
the first Of January approximately a.
500 bandages, hospital garments and
knitted articles have been passed on
and packed for shipment in the Jack
sonville forwarding warehouse Of the
local branch, American Red Cross.
Howard Harkisheimer is manager of
the clearing house.
1t is singular honor to Florida
that she should be the first and only
State in the Southern division to have
an independent clearing house-one
that is considered as efficient as the
Atlanta forwarding house, although
|opened only fifteen days ago.
At one side in the first room is the
desk of George Richards, assistant
manager, where every article coming
into the forwarding house is listed
and details of shipping are attended
to

A SERIOUS SITUATION.

The attention Of The Times-Re-
corder has been directed to the fact
that what is true of Sumter must be
typical OF conditions in this section
there is an acute farm labor situa-
ton.
There is not so much a shortage of
labor. The trouble lies in the fact tat
i. is almost impossible to secure work
out oi those who are capable of en-
ployment Negroes, in many cases,
refuse to hire out for more than a day
at a time, They work one day, some
times demanding as much as a dollar
a day, and then fail to show up the
next day. With such uncertain ana
unsatisfactory labor as that, the far
mer hardly knows what to do.
The result is that a late planting
season is apprehended, with the con-
sequent shortage of crops next fall
at a time when an increased acreage
in feedstuffs specially is urgently de-
mandea for the nations ewlfare
Tho solution for tbs situation re-
mains to be stated. The farmers DO
not know what to do "There is
enough labor, but we can't get any
work out of those who are able to
work they state. The negroes, sur
feited in thirty cents cotton, are show
ing an independence that is unique
and at the same time aggravating
For that matter, there are some white
people who are manifest'ng the s2me
spirit They have enough to live on
at present, and they are not looking
to the future
These men are slacker8 even more
SO than men who deliberately evade
military service. They are slackers
OF the worst type. They are enemies
to their country They are enemies
to the common good They ought to
be made to work-conscripted into ser
vice somehow But how TO 20 about
It? "Ay, there's the rubl"

THE G0EBEL TRAGEDY.

Eighteen years ago the Kentucky
legislature was convened, ana before
that body William Goebel, Democrat,
contested the claim of William s.
Taylor, Republican to the office of
governor. Four weeks later Goebel
was shot and mortally wounded, and
Taylor and Caleb Powers, the Repub-
lean contestant for the office Of sec.
rotary of state, were accused of com
plicity in the assassination. Taylor
removed from the office of governor
by the general assembly, fed to IN
diana, while Powers was arrested, con-
yicted and sentenced to prison for
life The latter has since been par
doned and now represents the Eley-
nth Kentucky district in the national
House Of Representatives, while Tay-
Tor has a flourishing law practice in
Indianapolis. In the winter of 1912,
Taylor returned to his native state
by which he was once outlawed, and
took unto himself q second wife, the
first Mrs. Taylor having lied in 1905.
Thus the ringing of wedding bells
brought to close for two of the prin-
cipals,. the political warfare that for
many years convulsed the Blue Grass
state.
