WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 30 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today is producing forty
per cent less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the q. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
1917-191S is at least three and half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S crop of cane Sug-
ar was two million tons In excess Of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half of
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java a large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
it requires $50 to 16O days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar is now only 20.1
per cent. Of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break of hostilities in Europe. France
produced an average of 752 .542 tons of
sugar each year For 7917-1S the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With CT factories operating, as com
pared with more than 200 that were
In existence before the war and before
the general campaign of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 1917-IS
than in 1867. when the total output
was 202,415 tons.
Italy in 1917-19 produced 100 500
tons OF beet sugar, which was JG.00
tons less than the previous year and
1IO,250 less than the annual output of
sugar for the five year pre-war pc
riod.
One of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands of men usually
in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
beets harvested.

FRANCE AND BELGIUM
GET AMERICAN SUGAR

Ninety-five per cent. of all refined
sugar sent from the United States to
the Allied nations went to France and
Belgium during the first five months
of this year.
France got y per cent, or nearly
100000 pounds. and Belgium receiv-
ed nearly 100000 pounds, or q per
cent.
In each country this sugar was doied
out by strict rationing organization.

these FIVE months--23, 791 tons, almost
half Of which was shipped In Mays
only about one-half OF / per cent Of

SUGAR EXPORTS SMALL
TO NEUTRAL NATIONS

Only 707 tons Of refined sugar were
shipped from America to neutral ma
tons during the first five months of
this year. This amounted to only 80
per cent. Of the total exports to all
countries. Mexico received more than
half the amount we exported to neu-

THE State Board of Education

Of saving ouarte at tune" said
DIR. j. George Becht, Secretary of

into the thrift and savings activities
of the schools of Pennsylvania and
says that he has found that since
the first schools savings system was
established in 1890 there has been
some form of savings introduced
into forty-two districts under direc-
ton of school authorities. Thirty
six of these forty-two districts report
an increasing interest and the total
deposits aggregate $20S,274. He

Try This II You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys 1t entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply 1t at night whers
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most IL not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1t, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft,
and look and feel 2 hundred times
better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known
to fail.-Adv.

David L. Tracy, chairman of the
executive committee, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE executive committee in
charge of the Knights of Columbus
War Camp Fund campaign desire to
Apublicly thank all workers and con-
tributors who so ably assisted them
in going over the top.
I'VE also wish to thank the news
papers for the very valuable assist
ance rendered.
THE fine spirit displayed by all
is conclusive evidence that with
such united action and sturdy loyalty
our great country must emerge from
this conflict as the victorious leader
of democracy.
1T was especially pleasing to re-
ceive so fine a response from COM
munities such as Elizabethville,
Halifax, MillersDurg, Mechanicsburg,
Middletown, Hershey New Cum
berland and Wiconisco and other
places where but few if any, of our
faith reside.
1T was these manifestations of
patriotism, coupled with the very
liberal contributions received from
Harrisburg. Steelton, Carlisle, Leba-
non, Williamstown and Lykens
which convince us that this terrible
war has brought all of us to the
realization that we are citizens of one
country and creatures of one God,
all working for that one prime OBJ
jeCt of life-the salvation of our
souls which implies worship of
God, love of neighbor and loyalty to
country.

Importation of Labor
Opposed by Pacific Coast

San Francisco, Calm view of
the shortage of farm labor in Cali
fornia, the agitation in favor of
bringing in large numbers of Ori-
entails, Chinese or Filipinos for farm
work is renewed vigorously from
time to time and frequently by lead
ing organizations or individuals. In
quiry among those we'll informed on
the general situation throughout the
state, however, shows it to be their
opinion that there is no probability
and scarcely any possibility that this
will be done. The importation of
Chinese, even for restricted agricul-
tural work, is said to be looked upon
with great disfavor, not only by what
are called the labor interests, but
by the great mass of people gener-
ally. The State Council of Defense.
for example, strongly opposes such
importation of laborers.
The real remedy for the labor
shortage, it is pointed out by these
observers, will be found in a COM
mobilization and transportation of
laborers, it being said in this con-
nection that the farm labor short
age, taking the state as a whole, is
not so great as has generally been
supposed The fact that men are
idle in one section is cited to show
that the problem is essentially one
that calls for a higher form of or
ganization of the equipment and
means at hand, rather than the ad-
dition of new factors to the prob
lem. Lack of shipping facilities and
the possibility of international COM
plications are mentioned as factors
initiating against the proposal to
import laborers. To admit these la
borers would, in the opinion Of
some, relieve Japan from her So
called gentlemen's agreement not to
send her laborers here.

agricultural extension. and the citi-
zens from the districts of the rural
community schools. The trip to
Harrisburg for the state show has
been the incentive for the boys to
work for high honors as judges of
corn and the honor students are
provided with funds to make the
trip through the interest aroused
In their home community.
Every effort is being made to in
terest the boys in agriculture with
the hope that they will, through the
education afforded by the Pennsyl-
vania school system, become pro
gressive farmers and help break
production figures on the farms of
the state. For the corn Judging
contest, team and individual prizes
will be given. The team winning
the contest will take the state cham
pionship banner, which is contested
for each year. For the individual
prizes three pure bred Shropshire
eve sheep have been donated by
Charles s. Calwell, president of the
Corn Exchange National Bank, of
Philadelphia.
During the two-day stay in Har-
risburg the boys will be entertained
at the Y. Nj. C. A. and they will
attend several of the meetings which
have been arranged by the agricul-
tural associations.

FUEL SHORTAGE
ON WEST SHORE
Administrator Robert L. Myers
Says Present Conditions
May Continue

Federal Fuel Administrator Gar
fields drastic war measures have as
yet failed to relieve the serious
scarcity of coal in Cumberland coun-
ty. The fuel is short, and there is no
relief in sight. Present conditions
may continue until warm weather is
here to stay" declared Robert L.
Myers, West Shore coal admins
traitor, in a statement this morning.
Mr.. Myers lauds the dealers for
their splendid work so far and says
that they are doing their best to
meet the needs of the people. He
states that the schools Will remain
closed until all homes are supplied.
The statement follows:
The fuel administrator for Cum
berland county is A. +. Bedford, Car
Isle, Pa. He is a man of wide and
successful experience. His activity
ir behalf of the several communities
of Cumberland county, including the
West Shore towns, has taken him to
Philadelphia, to Washington. and
through the coal regions. Anyone
may communicate with Mr.. Bedford
by either telephone.
THE members of the Cumberland
county committee on fuel adminiStra-
tion. of which Mr.. Bedford is the
chairman, are James d. Robinson, of
Shippensburg; Edwin r. Hayes. of
MELVILLE; Samuel L. Hauck, of Me-
chanicsburg. and Robert L. Myers, of
Camp Hill. The members of the COM
mittee are expected to keep the
county administrator informed on the
fuel supply in their respective dis
tricts, to receive complaints of price
boosting and to assist in minimizing
the dangers attending n serious fuel
shortage. Some of them also support
the dealers in their appeals to the
large coal companies, who are too
ready to disregard our smaller scat
tered communities and to ignore the
wishes of their former highly-prized
patrons.
Every coal dealer on the West
Shore is doing his best to meet the
needs not only of his patrons but
also of his competitors. He realizes
that this is not the time to be influ-
enced in the slightest degree by COM
petition and favoritism. When one
dealer is out of coal he borrows from
another dealer to supply the needs
of his patrons.
The consumer must depend upon
his dealer. New citizens who have
not yet established business connec-
tions on the West Shore and who
have failed in their efforts to do so
may appeal to the county fuel ad-
lnlnlStratof OF 10 the local member
of the committee. If there are no
local organizations to take care of
the cases in which poverty is a con-
sideration, the cases should be re-
ported to the nearest Red Cross or
Emergency Aid organization.
Every resident should measure up

our country's participation in the
war. One of these duties is to share
our coal with our neighbor if he is
out.
made to keep our public schools open
but it is only right that they should
close until the homes are all warm.
Great credit is due our religious or
Eanizations for the plans they are
making to save coal"

thrift habit among the 100000 pu-
pills of the public schools" said DR..
Becht. "In some places local banks
are reluctant to undertake the de-
tailed work in connection with small
savings and the Board will encour-
age teachers and pupils to familiar
ize themselves with the advantages
of the Governments Thrift Stamp
plan. This will relieve teachers of
much of the burden under some
systems which have been employed.
In a number of places the boards
are issuing special penny stamps,
each pupil being given a folder card
with places for twenty-five stamps.
When filed with these penny stamps
the pupil gets a twenty-five cents
United States Thrift Stamp. Teach
ing the children the elements of
thrift in a systematic and practical
way may be counted as one of the
moral equivalents of war. There is
great need to stimulate the habit of
saving and help children realize the
value of small sums"
