according to present
CANT use and waste are
War has disturbed the
whole worlds sugar supply.
It has not only wiped out any
available surplus, but It has
put all nations ON a hand-to-
mouth basis.
The European Allies were
the first tofeel the pinch.
Before the war, enough sugar
was produced on the Con-
tinent to supply all Europe.
Today, two-thirds Of this
suSar-producin& area is with
in the battle lines.
England, France and other
nations have had to turn
elsewhere for a supply Of this
indispensable food.
And they came to Cuba
the main source upon which
the United States depends for
its cane sugar. During 1917.
Cuba sold and shipped to
Europe nearly 1000, 900 tons
Of raw suSar-one-third Of its
crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption
Of sugar as food in this coun-
try, the nationwide move
ment to save the fruit crop
last season greatly increased
its use.
But this increased con-
sumption Of sugar has been a
real factor in combating
waste. It enabled the Ameri-
can housewife to add to the
store Of the food Of the na-
ton at a time when fruits
and vegetables were plenti-
full and cheap.
The sugar is not only in the
fruit jar, but it has carried
into the pantries Of the coun-
try a vast supply Of fruit and
vegetables which would
otherwise have been lost.
Sugar itself is not only q food,
but it is also the great pre-
server Of other foods.
As the demand for sugar
grew, both here and abroad,
Cuba's supply was exhausted
last fall. Every available
ton in Porto Rico and other
cane sugar countries was ac-
quired. But this was not
enough, and the shortage
came.

Jesus did not mean a period of sixty

uttered these words before the incident
to which He referred in my next text
took place-His crucifNion. The Lord
knew of our great struggle with the
powers of darkness, and God had given
His promise that the seed of woman

Testaments.
Il don't intend to confine my remarks
to the historical fact, beneficial as it
would be. but l would like to draw a
few lessons. First, the hour is come to
realize that the church is not the end.
The church is the means to the end
and if YOU think when You come into
the church that that is the end, God
have mercy on you and the church if
YOU are in it. You are not in the church
to keep little space seventeen inches

community and You are in that church
to make the community a better COM
munity and overthrow the sin that is in
it. And Ii You do not, the church is a

Labor Troubles in Argentine.

BUENOs, AIRES, January 1.-THE
foreign office announced yesterday that
it would receive the visiting Mexican
delegation today, but only In the ca
pacity of distinguished tourists.
Two American detectives arrived mere
recently and are cooperating with the
local police in a search for Capt. Franz
Won Papen, former military attache OF
the German embassy to the Cntied
States. as the arch conspirator In the
nationwide labor troubles and destruc-
ton of crops. 1t is pointed out as sig
nificant that strikes have been genera
since the reported arrival here OF Won
Papen last June and that the agitators
apparently enjoy unlimited credit.
Although it was reported last June
that Won Papen was in Argentina di-
recting German spies, 4 dispatch from
Berlin in September asserted that Won
Papen, in the capacity of CHIEF general
staff officer of a division. was holding
one of the most crucial sectors OF the
Somme front, against when the en-
tente had been launching their heaF-

Theme of Last Nights Sermon.

The Hour Is Come" formed the theme
of the evangelist's sermon last evening.
He said. in part:
The hour is come. 1t is very evident
to- me that Jesus knew that the Father
would understand what He meant when
He said The hour is come" He did not
say l have met with a difficulty down
here in my mediatorial work, some
thing He had not thought about, or ex-
pected would ever occur, but, the hour
is come for which 1 came into the
world. around which all hours in the
history of the world would center. That
hour meant more for you and me and
all generations of the world than all
the hours in the history of the world.

Clothes From Peat.

A very interesting and economical
ly valuable invention, in the field of
Substitute materials" has recently
seen the light in Sweden. A process
has now been perfected there for the
manufacture of strong textile ma
terial from peat fiber. The inventor
began to study this process 20 years
ago, but, so far, his methods were ham,
pered by the drawback that the pro-
cess of manufacture was much too
costly; he was therefore unable to
turn his idea to any practical use. In
duced by the war, however, he resumed
his experiments, and has now at last
succeeded in making dress material
from peat on a large scale. These
peat fabrics are somewhat cheaper
than those of artificial wool, and they
are said to be Of great durability. A
factory for the working of the process
wholesale is about to be erected.

CoIors and AirpIanes,

A curious phenomenon noted by
aviators is that the color of land
ing field may have an effect On an
airplane that is about to alight on it.
For example, an area which Is dark
from being plowed or burned over will
make the air above it several degrees
warmer than that over land of lighter
color, such as a stubble field, thus
causing a disturbed condition Of the
atmosphere, which may make landing
difficult If not dangerous.
