Sugar has always sold higher in
Italy than in any other European coun
try. We have known ordinary consum
ers to pay twenty cents pound while
We In America were getting it for six
cents a pound. The cah!e announces
that the government has fixed the
ma imum price Of sugar sold by fac
tories and refneties, at l2O liras pc"
quintal, or, about lO.5 cents a pound
This is for white erystaliized and does
not include the government manufae

will cost twenty four cents pound by
the time it reaches the consumer.

A state wide campaign is OH in Colo
RADIO to increase the beet acreage for
1915. The sugar companies with tho
State and Federal authorities are work
ing at the plan and a statement has
been issued by well known beet -sugar
expert 1t is pointed out that in the
matter Of sugar Germany is practical,
" independent, and prior to the war
England was very dependent on Ger
man beet fields. England and France
needed practically three million tons,
and with many factories in France in
the hands of Germany it is at once APP
parent what sugar is needed from other
sources The statement also adds that
the West must consume less sugar and
produce more in war times, while in
peace times the West must consume
more and produce more. The state
ment makes great plea to the farmer
showing him the utter futility of try
ing to meet this situation without
every one doing team work and none
linping in the drive. The frosts i'm

exchanges say and found forty percent
Of the beets in the ground when Jack

\ Washington paper reports that the
prices of sugar today should not stag
ger us, for in 1919 a London merchant
went to Venice, the sugar center in
that day, aud bought 100000 pounds
and paid forty three cents a pound for
his precious wares. Now, when yom
add freight and other expenses, sugar
at that time must have cost nigh onto
seventy cents pound. For centuries
sugar was considered Il medicine and
doled out by apothecaries but when

be made to feel fit mentally as well as physically. This is called keep ing up high morale. A low morale almost certainly means de- feat.
 There is no way of keeping at it's highest the morale of our fight ing men on land and sea equal to making each one personally feel that his welfare Is the thought up permost with the folks at home. This is being done through seven great organizations, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Young Women's Christian Associa- tion, the Jewish Welfare Board, the War Camp Community Service, the American Library Association, and the Salvation Army.
 All of these organizations are at work in every cantonment, in every camp in this country and on the battlofelds of Europe. Whor- ever American soldiers and sailors are you will find representatives of one or all of these organizations providing for our soldiers recrea- tion, reading matter, opportunities for writing home, opportunities for obtaining the little luxuries which the Government cannot provide.
 Represent the Home
 Always the secretaries and work CTS of these organizations are ex- tending tho hand of fellowship and passing the word of cheer which folks at home would so gladly do were they able. Tn the hearts of the fighting men these representa- tives stand for the folks at home.
 Those seven organizations are entirely by contributions from home folks. In the past each one has conducted it's own cam paign to raise these funds. Now the seven have combined to raise $170, 100000 between November II and IS, to carry on this work for another year If the war shall last that long.
 President Wilson has asked the people of this nation to contribute this great sum because he under stands how necessary the work is to insure victory. It is in connec- tion with this campaign that the splendid privilege of having a di- rect part in this war Is offered to

 arc being enrolled as the Vic
 tory Boys and Girls, to take an important part in the winning of the war. A real boy and a real girl is needed to get behind each of our fighting men, and you know our fighting men are very real in deed. Splendid work has already been done by the boys and girls of America. Splendid work is still being done. But much of this splendid effort has been so merged in the war work of older folks that there has been no nationwide credit to the boys and girls for what they have done, because there has been no nationwide joint effort by them.
 Now comes both a challenge and an opportunity-a challenge for you to show just what kind of red bIooded, patriotic fighters you are e; an opportunity to have a direct and personal part in the war witt, full credit therefor.
 Fighters We'll Cared For
 Most of you know that Uncle Sam supplies his fighting men with every physical necessity. They are the best fed and best clothed fight CTS in the world, and they are sup piled with the best fighting mate rial. The Government has done for them all that it can do. It has made them physically fit and sup piled them with the materials of war.
 But you boys know that merely being physically fit is not sufficient to win in an athletic contest. You know what 1t means to your base ball team, your football team, your track team, to have the whole school roofing for them. You know that without tho enthusiastic. whole-hearted backing of \ their school, no team can do it's best 1t is from the rest of you thatf your athletes draw the enthusiasm, the will to win. It is because of the faith you have in them.
 In boxing match each contest ant has in his corner several help- CTS or handlers-seconds. These are the men who revive him be- tween rounds, advise and encour- age and fill him with faith in him. self because of their faith in him. Many great match has been won as much by the seconds as by the victorious boxer himself.
 Question of Morale
 It is Just so with our fighting men. That they may fight their best they need more than good food and good equipment. Their spirits must be kept high They must be kept free from worries. They must not be allowed to be- come lonesome or discouraged or homesick. They must not be al- lowed for one instant to think that the folks at home are not with them, heart and soul. They must

 his second. He will be your per sonal representative. This is the finest opportunity since America entered the war for the boys and girls to show the men who have gone across the kind of boys and girls they are fighting for. When this campaign closes, word will be sent to all the fighting forces telling them the result, and they will know just how many boys and girls here at home have been enrolled in the two great armies of the Victory Boys and the Victory Girls. ...
 There are countless ways in which money is to be earned, es- pecially in these days when every where Is heard the cry for help The money is to be paid in three. miscellaneous. One on December s, one on January 15, and one on March 1. ...
 All that is asked of you now fs that if you are willing to volunteer, if you want to join the Victory Boys and the Victory Girls, you will sign the pledge card. It is wholly matter between you and your own desires. The fighters want you behind them. Are you game?
 Looking Into the Future
 In years to come you will look back to this war and realize as you cannot realize now that you have lived through the greatest event in the history of civilization. If you have not personally participated in 1t, 1t will be source of regret all ! the rest of your life. If you have personally participated in it, 1t will be a matter of personal pride all the rest of your life.
 Here Is one of the best, if not the best opportunity which the boys and girls of America have had of fered them for direct participation. It Is up to you. You are proud of our men over there. Are you go- ing to make them proud of their boys and girls over heret Of courses you are.

 Backing Up Your Man

and IS and to all girls of like ages. Backing Up Your Man
 The plan is very simple. You are not compelled to participate. | You are asked to volunteer to earn and give a certain amount of money for the United War Work which Is sp1endidly keeping up the morale of our fighting mon. The l Victory Boys are asked to pledge themselves to earn and to give be- tween now and March l, five dollars or more each. The Victory Girls are asked to do similar thing. Bear in mind that each dollar will provide a soldier with recreation, amusements, opportunity for social enjoyment and study, and for re- ligious activities for one week. Every boy who gives $5 will be personally backing and keeping up that most immediate of all needs the morale of fighting man for five full weeks.
 It is necessary that this money be earned. Money not earned is not a contribution from you, but from the one who gave you that money. No soldier or sailor Is giV- ing his services by proxy. It is ab- solutely personal with every one of them. It must be. Therefore you are asked to earn the money that you contribute to this cause. Thus you will have personal part.
 Do not think that because you are here in America and the battle line Is 5000 miles away, that what you may do Is of little account and Is not personal participation. The war is being fought in America General Pershing and his men, and Admiral Simms and his men, are under orders and direction of the War and Navy Departments at Washington. The men on the fight ing line are absolutely and wholly dependent on the lines of communi- cation, and the lines of communica- ton start In America.
 Need Your Backing
 The five dollars or more which you may earn and contribute will go directly to the service of a fight | ing man. You are not yourself old | enough to be fighting man, but l you can back a fighting man. and l
