STICKING TO THE
SUGAR SYSTEM TO
SERVE THE FLAG,

Louisiana has kept the sugal
faith, and for that reason will re
ceive her September allotment al
soon, if not sooner, than any otbel
state.
New York and other common
wealths have used more than theil
share, but they will not be allowed
to overstep the limit, Their ex
cesses of the past will result in the
famine of the future. The mer
chants and consumers will havs
their over consumption deducted
from their September totals and
will have to go almost without 81
gar during the coming month.
The sugar shortage is still acut.
and there is no sign of immediate
relief. The beet supply will not
begin moving tor another month
and it will probably be Novemb beI
before any relief is possible. The
United States Food Adminlstra
ton issued notice that the re
duced August figures must stand
for September, and that there was
no use for individual pleadings
and appeals for revision. Also,
there was no pla ace for new bust
ness in the restricted program
Accordingly, Jno. M. Parker,
Food Administrator for Louisiana,
closed the doors to callers and pu,
the entire staff TO work on a rec
ord job of getting the September
certificates into the hands OF the
merchants and industries on the
list. All the vouchers will be out
IN a few days.
The enforcement conservation of
sugar has increased the tempta
fion to profit upon those eager to
obtain more than the small but
sufficient quantity permitted. The
public, however, is in this case
amply able to protect itself by
merely cooperating with the
Food Administration Because Mr..
Hoover's department 10 represented

which is the largest purchaser Of
sugar in the world, 1t ls able to

is below 80 even transportation.
hauling and handling costs in the

force the consumer to pay much

prices which have been exacted
are plain profiteeriDg and the

WHERE SUGAR GOES.

Methods of reducing the con
sumption of sugar in soft drinks
have been worked out by the Blu
reau of Chemistry, United States

tions for making soft drinks which
include formulas that utilize sub

sugar, maltose sirup, honey, and

following these directions, which
are being distributed among bot

New iberia, August q, 1918
The War seems real to US now
that our own boys are "over
there, and that the U-boats have
bit our shores and seems TO be
getting closer. To win this war
we must finance It. The Allies
have lot of men and real soldiers
on the front, but they must be

piled, to say nothing of other
things so necessary to keeping up
the morale of victorious army.
1t takes money to do this, and
money we must and will have.

red bloOdpd American citizen will

CLEMENTS NOMINATION.
Further Comments on the Outcome of
Tuesdays Primary.
Rutland Herald.

The primary on Tuesday has resulted
in victory for Percival W. Clement
Rutland candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor.
The result is close. 1t is mot so deep
as well, nor SO wide as church door;
but It's enough, twill serve"
1t is undoubtedly unfortunate that so
light vote was cast. Such small turn
out is not such an expression as any can
didate would desire In fact, it is true be-
yond question that all three candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination and
many of those for minor offices worked
diligently and faithfully to get the re-
luctant voters to the polls
Yet the result. such as it is. is fairly
conclusive. Vermont is accustomed to
abide by such results and will probably
do so in this case.
Rutland city and Rutland county
should feel honored and complmented by
the quality of the endorsement given its
| candidates.
The Herald believes that the voters OF
the state, in fairly equal numbers, be
lieved in the promise of business admin
istration made by Mr.. Clement in hi,
| public announcements and also in the
| Vi sell SoA WHICH III
enunciated through his opposition to tn,
| Sheppard amendment.
The condition of the states bushes.
ought to give the Republican nomine,
for governor, if duly elected. splendiC
opportunity for distinguished publ,
service, and evidently the people expect
Just that of their nominee.
As to the Sheppard amendment, thai
question becomes more and more of
dead issue as the powers of the Presiden
and the food administrator are exercised
in that direction. 1t is clear that we car
have war prohibitionwithout amendin;
the federal constitution, and the progress
of public sentiment toward that end i
apt to be marked in the weeks interven
ing before the election and the convention
of the legislature.
On one public policy all public me-
can unite, and that is on measures tina
are calculated to remedy the evils nov
known to exist in the present operation
of the states business
The Herald, on its part, would mos
cordially invite all candidates for legisla
tive office to consider carefully what Nj
Clements plans for betterment may b.
