Johnny Evers Is Anxious
to Return to Major Game

Scranton, Pa, Feb. According
to "a letter received here by Bill
Coughlin, former captain of the De-
troit Americans and later manager
of the Scranton team of the New
York State League, Johnny Evers,
who recently was released by the
Phillies, says that the reports that
quote him as arranging to conduct
a high-class semi professional team
in his home town of Troy, n. Y,
during the coming season is all a
huge joke.
Evers declares that he doesn't be-
lieve any kind of q baseball team
will pay in Troy this year.
incidentally Evers is of the opinion
that he has a lot of big league bail
in his system, and that he will make
a bid for a job in the Tener circuit
again. Coughlin is in the hotel
business here and doing nicely. lie
expects a visit from Evers next

Pennsylvania Cage League
Preparing to Pass Out

Scranton, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE de-
cision of r. A. Amerman, owner of
the Carbondale basketball team, TO
go to France next week as an eXecu-
tive worker for the Young Mems
Christian Association, and the an
nouncement made by Patrick ]. So
land, one of the men interested in
the Scranton team, to the effect that
he intended to forfeit the local fran
chise afer February Is, is taken
to mean that the Pennsylvania State
Basketball League will be compelled
to disband within a short time.
1t is almost settled that, when
Amerman leaves, the Carbondale
team will be paid off, and with
Scranton also dropping, the circuit
would be left with but five clubs,
not enough to finish the secoud .lalf.
Boland said that both he and
John McLane, another owner, came
to the conclusion last Monday that
it would be foolish to continue the
game in this city.

SUGAR SHORTAGE Is
BROUGHT TO AMERICA
BY CHANCES OF WAR

Since the pinch Of the sugar
shortage pressed in upon the
sweets-loving American populsce,
every one who has had . part Of
his regular sugar rations cut
down has asked, either himself or
some one else "Why7"
In the past France. Italy and the
England received over one-half Of her
supply from the Teutonic Empires. i'm
ported largely from Java. One-half Of
Americas sugar supply II obtained
from Cuba, one-ssventh from the sugar
best production Of the United States,
enssighth from Hawaii. one-twentieth
from Louisiana. and the rest from
Porto Rico. and the Philippines.
FaetorIes Destroyed.
Because Of the destruction Of the
greater part Of their factories. the pro.
duction Of both Italy and France has
been cut down to one-third. The Cen
tral Powers-their regular source Of
supply-has been cut off They must.
therefore, depend almost entirely upon
America.
There II vast quantities Of sugar
stored in Java, but neither time nor
ships can be spared while sugar can
be obtained elsewhere by ons-third
the haul.
Why Saver
Why are Americans urged to save
sugar?
They must meet the Allied shortage;
they must release ships formerly used
tn the sugar trade to carry soldiers
and supplies to Europe: they must
make up the loss Of beet sugar lands
and factories captured or destroyed
by the Germans in Northern France
and Italy. Ships which would have
kept up the flow Of sugar have been
sunk. Twenty-six thousand tons Of
sugar were lost recently in submarine
raids upon Americas Atlantic coast.
Fifty thousand tons of sugar carrying
shipping were transferred to meet the
requirements Of Belgian relief.
Civil War Price.
In spite of the shortage. sugar h
selling all over the United States At
~ cents to 10 cents q pound During
The Civil War. when no shortage
threatened. sugar sold for IS cents 4
pound owing to speculation which was
rampant and which. in this war. has
been checked by the United States
Food Administration regulations.
Therefore Americans are asked to
save sugar because others need It; not
to hoard 1t because boarding IL selfish,
oowardly and unpatriotic and because
the Food Control act provides fines Of
not more than $4,000 and imprison-
ment for hoarders.
Save sugar.

LESS SUGAR IS
ALLOTTED STATE
FOR new MONTH

Skulking submarines. . great mer-
chant fleet transformed into . gigantic
ocean bridge over which Americas
khaki clad army has marched into the
battlefield Of Europe. have combined
to put the people Of the United States
once more to the test. This time the
nation faces . shortage of sugar. This
time, instead Of the national passion
for flakey white wheat bread and
fluffy cakes the national sweet tooth
has to be combated and educated and
made to sacrifice its share to the Altar
of Liberty.
New allotment Of sugar to consum-
ers, according to recent dispatches
from Warrington. will be two
pounds per person per month. In
stead Of three pounds ~ formerly a.
lowed. Colorado's entire sugar allot.
ment for July was 4.4s2, 900 pounds. In
August the state will be allowed only
z.1S8.000 pounds Of sugar which is .
decrease Of 1,4Sl,o00 pounds for this
state alone.
According to present calculations.
housewives will be able to obtain can
ming sugar mp to . limited extent Do
pending entirely upon the supply. Food
Administration officials urge all house
wives to use discretion in their can
ming and avoid canning heavy jams
and preserves which take much more
sugar than the canned whole fruits.
Officials also urge that wherever pos
sible fruits and vegetables be dried In
stead Of canned ~ this process takes
NO sugar whatever.
Never forget that the sugar situa-
tion - serious and every Coloradoan
should bend every effort to the saviaG

Result of HOOverizing

Before the war we exported to
Europe less than a million pounds
of beef month. In March, this
year, we shipped more than S6,OOO-
600 pounds for our Allies and
soldiers needs. This was the re-
suit of reducing individual con-
sumption at home. 1t shows what
can be accomplished when every
body does his share.
The grocery store of George W. Ford
has been closed for thirty days by the

plants of violations of the government
