France needed 100000 tons. We:
agreed to fill this demand and up to
December had shipped 85,426 tons. In.
the meantime an appeal was made to
the American public to reduce Its sug-.
n consumption, and requests were
made to distributors to supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
with 50 per cent. Of normal supply.

Retail grocers throughout the coun-
try are supposed to take a profit of no
more than SO cents a hundred-half a.
cent a pound-on sugar. By reason of
food administration regulations, bind
ing ~refiners and wholesalers, the re-
taller is able today to buy sugar at
from 8 to 81 cents a pound. This
enables him to sell to the housewife at
81 to 8 cents a pound.
There have been some violations OF
the sugar rulings. Mr.. Hoover said
recently: "Sales Of sugar from Is to
20 cents per pound have been reported

the shipping situation Is SO acute that
the nation cannot spare the eleven

It would take the boats n year to
haul $4,000 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
100000 soldiers to France.

BRIGHT FLASHES FROM
EUROPEAN BATTLE FRONT
GREAT BATTLE RAGING

The greatest battle in the worlds
history has now been raging three
weeks. During the first half of this
period, the Germans made great ad-
vances though they purchased their
gains at a staggering cost. During
the second half, their advance was
very slight and the lines remained
almost stationary. Following is a
summary for~the past week:
April 4. The enemy started anoth-
er big offensive, massing an immense
weight of men and guns and attack
ing violently south of the Somme.
The effort to break the line failed.
TIE Germans sustained heavy losses.
The battle ragged all day and through
the night.
April 5. The Germans suddenly
switched their attack to a front about
25 miles north of the Somme. If this
was done in the hope of catching
Haig asleep, the hope was disappoint-
ed. The attack was met with the same
stubborn resistance as was shown
further south on the day before. AS
a whole, the line, north and south
of the Somme was maintained in it's
entirety. The long range lombard
ment of Paris was resumed.
April 6. The first anniversary of
the entrance Of the United States
into the war found the great battle
still raging. Hindenburg's violent
attack on the British line along the
Ancre valley, between Albert and
the Somme, was a desperate storming
operation with Amiens as its OBJ
jectfve. There was particularly
heavy fighting at Corbie, ten miles
due east of Amiens. The line held,
and the Germans suffered heavy
losses.
April Z. The fighting north of
the Somme continued. Two Ger.
man attacks near Bucguoye were
repulaed by artillery fire. South
of the Somme local fighting and
great artillery activity occurred.
The whole allied line stands almost
exactly where it stood ten days ago
April 8. There was violent ar
activity along the whole front.
April 9. The Germans made a
new attack north of the Somme.
They entered the town of Givenchy
but were later driven out with loss.
~
South of the Somme there was local
fighting which did not change the
situation. The German advance be-
tween the Disc and the Ailette was
checked.
April ] The German attack
in the northern sector continued

The incentive to Clean Up and Paint

urging the removal of ramshacke

said that she had no more to do with

The Ladies Fra He'll.

Judge William Murray, whose
manner of speech sometimes leads one
to suspect that he at one time trod
the heather, has handed in the fol-
lowing interesting poem, written by
Bertrand Shadwell:
The Prussians have named them "The
Ladies from He'll"
But they're Gentlemen, Devils and
Hieland as we'll;
So bonnily dressed in the bonnet and
crest,
With the Draw tartan pladdie brooch
ed over each breast,
And the kilt swinging free Of the
strong supple knee
Man, they're gallant to see; and I
think you'll agree,
AS they step to the pipes, with their
sWagger and swell,
They're the pick O. the laddies, the
"Ledides fra He'll"
There are ladies on earth and in hea-
ven as we'll,
But the Germans must dance with the
"Ladies from He'll"
There are sixteen-inch calibre parties
in France,
And the Ladies from He'll" will be
leading the dance.
So it's up with the rest, and it's over
the crest,
For fling with the Huns, fifty thou
sand abreast.
To the skirl of the shell they are step
ping it we'll
They're the bellies Of the ball are the
"Leddies fra He'll"
There's the fear of the Lord on the
Ladies from Help
They believe in the Bible (the bayonet
as welD.
They are brave and releegious, and
faithful and strong,
And they'll pray and they'll fight and
they'll march all day long;
For the man who is right and who
knows he is right
| And believes in his God is the man
who will fight;
So they'll win to Berlin and to heaven
as well,
For the Lords on the side Of the
Ladies from He'll"

THRESHING CAMPAIGN
MEETS WITH SUCCESS
THROUGHOUT COLORADO

In spite of the fact that rain has de-
layed the threshing of wheat and
other grains very materially, the Colo
rado Food Administration feels that
the threshermen throughout the state
are exerting every effort possible to
put through the 1918 threshing pro
ram Various county threshing com
mittees have been extremely jealous
in attending to the details which make
for the success of any campaign.
Never before have the thresher-
men paid so much attention to the
efficiency of their machines" declared
Howard f. Crocker. chairman of the
Threshing Division, "and we feel that
the threshermen are working together
faithfully to gave, to the utmost de-
gree every pa. ,icle of grain possible"
Headquarters are attaching great I'M
portance to the reports which the
threshermen are turning in weekly to
the County Threshng Committees. 1t
is upon the accuracy and care with
which these reports are filled out that
the success OF the threshing campaign
depends, because statistics, thus gath
cred, will form a basis for crop esti-
mates in future years.
Instructions from Washington ask
for reports, not only upon the thresh-
ing of whe and other grains, but up
on feed grains, fodder and other crops
threshed.

DO SUCH LIVE HERE?

Human nature is very strange. The
way some women are waiIing over the
new sugar regulations is pitiful. To
some of them, it seems, crate OF
fruit is more than all the starving
millions of Europe. They are the
abused race over the neT canning reg
ulations, and anyone Who talked to
them about the Hoover regulations
year ago and knew of the scorn with
which any suggestions of curtailment
were met can realize how hurt they
are with the enforced denial. This is
only a lack of vision. Women whose
men are at war accept the regulations
with cheerfulness; they do not weep
over the loss in fruit or the difficulty
of canning without sugar They have
other losses to think of They know
that doing without few pounds OF
sugar Is an easy matter compared to
their greater sacrifice. e."--Spokesman-
Review.
