SUGAR SHOWED
 OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up Luxury Demonstrated Ha-
 tion's War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES,
By Reducing censun,ptien esopts st the United States Averted Famine ii Home in eplts
 of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people af the United States were able to reduce ks more than one-haif million tons their consumption of sugar proves eoncau siveiy that their war conscience was thoroughly awakened and that the country e . whole stood ready to fni low the intunctions of the 0overnmnnt
 Our normal consumption of sugar in the four-month period beginning with July has been 400, 900 tons per month. a total of 1,0OO 900 for the quarter year.
 In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach its height, consumptioI was reduced to 260,0oO tons. In Au- gust only 325. 900 tons went into dis tribution and in September only 279,- GOO tons. In October the distribution fell to 230OO0 tons.
 If the general public had failed to observe the injunctions of the Food Administration this country would have been in the throeS of a sugar famine before the end of August. Our visible supplies were so low as to bring great anxiety to those familiar with the sugar situation. They feared that it would be absolutely impossible to reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be & mere lux ury in the American diet
 Few accomplishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so pre- dominantly as this reduced consump- ton of sugar. By it we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency until the new beet and Louisiana cane sugar crops We're in sight.
 Now the nation is in a position so that if we choose we may return to our normal home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go far afield, can maintain it's recent re- stricted rations. If, however. those nations are to increase their use of sugar very considerably it must be by our continued sharing with them through limiting our own eonsump- ton.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
 RELIED ON TO WIN

In the light of succeeding events fl Is interesting to recall the confidence with which the United States Food Administrator viewed the gloomy out look in July of 1917, when this coun- try had been in the war for less than four months and the Germans were steadily sending the western front nearer and nearer to Paris.
 Even though the situation in Flu rope may be gloomy today" he de clared in a public statement, mo American who has knowledge of the results already obtained in every di- rection need have one atom of fear that democracy will not defend itself in these United States"

He went out to the platform as the train slowed up, leaped to the ground, skirted the main street, evaded a brilliantly lighted church where some Christmas eve festivity was in progress and reached a house set in the center of a large lot.

By George Barnett Ray, aged 10, who
is relative Of Mr. NJ. A. Ray, prom
inent farmer Of this county;
The Kaiser wears a great big sword,
+, That fastens on with chains;
Uncle Sam is mad at him
Because Of his big gains.
Old John Bull is gaining fast,
His tanks are very strong.
The Kaiser's life is almost past;
He knows he's in the wrong
Newt on hand comes little French,
Storming the Kaiser with steel and
- lead,
Fighting him in armored trench
Laying old Bill clear out in bed.
Old Italy was losing fast;
But we're hearing better news.
The tables will turn at last,
And she'll gain instead of lose.
The Kaiser thinks Russias beat;
But she'll come again, hoorayl
And keep Germany away from her
wheat,
With the aid of the U. S. A.

is one of the most beautiful scenic
beaches in the world. 1t faithfully

the heights of Diamond Head Noun

from the crater of theevoleano and
floating across the landscape. Native
cottages nestle comfortably around
its base in the shadow of Numerous
palm trees, and the ripping waters
may be seen as they break on the
smooth, white beach OIL Waikiki. The
ancient Now Tree is also faithfully
reproduced. in the shadow of which
the Hawaiian monarchs used to sit
and listen to the soothing music of the
native musicians. Large plantations
Of cocoanuts, pineapples and bananas
