$ ALL SUGAR SALES

Every pound Of sugar held by re-
fners, beet or cane sugar producers,
either in stock or in transit, on GER
tain date to be announced later, will
be bought by the United States Gov
eminent and then sold back to its
original holders at the price of the
new crop. The price to the original
holders will be higher, so as to
equalize the sugar market and pre-
vent two prices, such as existed last
year.
The consumer. however, will have
TO pay an additional cent a pound,
perhaps a little more, but the profits
OF the transaction, instead of going to
the refiners, will be absorbed by the
Government. The United states
equalization board will control the
transfer.
The food administration has not
decided the exact date at which the
new price will become effective. The
present margin of S1.30 a hundred
pounds will be increased to S1.45.

creased margin of profit allowed the

COURT DISMISSES
LUSITANIA SUITS

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Suits eg-
RreEating $4,000. 900 and growing out
of the sinking OF the Lusitania by =
German torpedo have been dismissed
by Federal Judge Julius NJ. Mayer
who holds that the cause of the sink
ing was the illegal act of the i'm
perial German government Ger
many is responsible both in the legal
as well as the moral sense, he said.
The Cunard line, owners OF the
Iusitania and defendants in the suits,
was held by Judge Mayer to be
blameless. He ruled that the caD-
tain and crew OF the ship took every
precaution justified by the then
known facts both before and after
the vessel was torpedoed. The mas
ter was fully justified in sailing, the
court held, even though warnings
had been published in the press.

For the last half Of 1915 no manu-

the output OF such cars made by him
in the entire year 1917.
Concerning the production Of pas

roundly 81 ,OoO, ,o00, 900, that they may
expect to be placed on a 100 per cent
war basis after that date.
The decision to cut manufacture for
the last half of 1918 to 25 per cent OF
the 1917 production was reached when
Bernard NJ. Baruch, as chairman of

Japanese Dinner Entertainments Fal

In the matter of eating it is agreed

or even Chinese cooking The chief
characteristic of purely Japanese din

or stomach. 1t is national joke that
one must eat a meal before going to

dinner.
Oh, how much labor and expense are
lavished on gochiso ENTERTAINMENT
to make it nice to look at That is all
sheer waste and luxury and is to be
condemned. Providence has kindly
put in the power of every Japanese to
live in the most economical manner, SO
the japanese dinner is a blasphemous

Harmful Loss of Temper.

Although unbridled rage is helpful in
fight among the lower animals, need
less TO say 1t is the reverse of service
able in the deliberate fighting of man
against man, as in boxing and fencing,
for here anger interferes with those
cautious methods of attack and de-
Tense which ere essential to success.
To lose ones temper in fighting of this
kind may be to lose the fight. With
this reservation 1t is curious to note
the close kinship between the COM
blatant instinct Of man and of the low
er animals. The untamed man, when
enraged, assumes in very truth the as
pect Of the tiger; he puts himself in
threatening attitude, frowns, glares,
rolls his eyes, grinds his teeth, snarls,

ALIVE TO HIS SHORTCOMINGS
Tolstoy a Harsh Critic of Even Petty
Fallings, as Has Been Revealed
in His Diary.

Count Leo TOlstOy In his youth laid
down a large number of rules for his
own guidance, says Every Week. The
first one was this: Fulfill everything
which you have set yourself" And
the second was: Regard feminine so
ciety as an inevitable evil of social life,
and, In so far as you can, avoid it."
His failure to heed his own warnings
filled the pages of his diary with a
gloomy record of shortcomings:

The Wheat Situation Again.

Attention. In view Of the extreme
need for wheat, it has become neces-

exert every possible effort to get ev-

The shortage of bread stuffs is even
much more acute than has been rep
resented up to the present time.
Our soldiers must be fed. In view OF
this necessity all forthcoming orders
of the Food Administration will be
made with reference to securing the
necessary bread stuffs for our armies.
1t has become necessary to issue the
following new rules with regard to
the small stocks of seed wheat that
are to be found on farms in the state
1. No spring wheat can be saved
for seed.
2. All the winter wheat designed
by the farmer for his own use as seed

8. All sales Of winter wheat by in

seed purpose must be tagged and reg

STRETCHING PARIS TO

Corsicans Hard Fighters.

In the matter Of utter disregard for
death, Of complete fOrgetfulness Of
self, French officers agree that the Cor
sicans are superior to all other sol
diers of France. ImpetuOus and vim
dictive, they hate the enemy with a
passionate ferocity that blinds them
to any thought Of danger. Besides
this, they are intensely proud of the
fact that they come from the island
that produced Napoleon, and cherish
above all else the recollection Of the
military valOr Of the greatest of COrsi-
cans To them cOwardice is the I'M
forgivable sin, and to falter in the
face of danger is to win the eternal
contempt Of comrades.
The Corsicans have a long warlike
history, and years ago fought side by
side with the British. For brief pc
riod In the eighteenth century Corsica
was under the protection Of Great
Britain, and the people acknowledged
George III as their king.
