The supply Of raw sugar in the
early summer gave evidence Of
being enough for all needs.
But the rate Of consumption had
increased. An extra 100000. 600
pounds were required to meet the
needs Of the people from June up
to November.
"You can't eat your cake and
have it too"
A part Of this increased demand
for sugar was due to the nation
wide save the fruit crop move

gone. It is saved. Il is simply in

There is not much trap-shooting just
now in France. They are not crack

sergeant got his pigeon shooting just

The particular front in which the
sergeant operates is infested with Ger
man spies.
All sorts Of things were happening.
A tramp" battery, one Of those par

on the jump, found itself being shelled
the instant it lined up for shot.

Now, the Hun doesn't use his big
guns unless he knows what he's shoot
ing at How he learned, however, was
pretty evident. Some one back of our
lines was tipping him off.
The signal service sergeant was the
first to detect how it was done. His
squad was repairing signal wires back
of the trenches. The sergeant halted
in his work and gazed skywards. A
pigeon was going over his head. The
sergeant watched it idly, calculating
as he stood there how far he'd lead 1t
with a 12-gauge. Then with sigh
he went to laying wire again.
A few minutes later the sergeant
stopped again. Another pigeon had
risen from the wood. But few min
utes later, when third pigeon rose
from the wood, the former trap-shooter
tarried no longer. A half hour later he
bolted into the quartermaster's depart

ing Men Wounded, Killed

Washington.-The American Red
Cross, through its bureau of commrni-
cation, issued request to the rela-
tives of soldiers who are in the Amer.
lean expeditionary force, in which it
asks these relatives to make inquiries
regarding their kin who are In the
army through the Red Cross bureau
Of communication in Washington in
stead of, as is the case in numerous
Instances, of communicating with
agencies or individuals in Europe. The
request was issued in the name Of
Harvey D. Gibson, the American Red
Cross commissioner in France.
Mr.. Gibson points out the fact that
In majority of cases such inquiries
are merely turned over by the individ-
ual or agency to the Red Cross, which
has charge of such communication with
soldiers relatives, and which has de-
veloped special facilities for obtaining
Information about those reported
killed, wounded, or missing, and those
from whom letters have not been re-
ceived. Congestion Of cables and a
loss Of time and energy are also oc-
casioned by making the request other
than through the Red Cross. 1t has
been known that as many as four sep
arate requests have been received
about the same men by different in.
situations.
Edward NJ. Day, acting director Of
the bureau Of communication, said:
1.-THE function Of this bureau is to
give relatives all possible information
