British convict ship Success
The old ship which was ex.
hibited in towns and cities all
along the coast, was among the
boats recently sunk by ice
jams. Its hull was pierced by
a cake of ice while the boat
was moored at Carrollton, Ky.
1t was a survival of the days
when England exiled her con-
victs to Australia. The most
desperate criminals of the Brit
ish isles were incarcerated in
her hull.
Built in the East Indies in the
last century of a hard tropical
wood that endured, the craft
passed a strange gamut of uses
to sink at last in the bed of a
Middle Western river.

The war is proving who's
who in this republic. 1t is seq
regating the fit from the unfit,
the loyal from the disloyal. 1t
is one of the compensations of
the war. The. United States
has been great hearted, gener-
Gus and lenient. The republic
has kept an open door for the
oppressed, the poor and the
disihherited. Our shores have
been a haven of refuge; our
broad acres the land of prom
Use. We have dealt justly and
expected justice and honor in
others. In our relations with
the German government we
have not found it. We have
run into deceit, intrigue and
gross violations of every law of
man and God. We have found
democracy and civilization en-
dangered and we have drawn
the sword in their behalf. We
are in battle for the sake of
the cherished principles of the
and fighting for prin-
ciple not for gain we fight to
win, no matter what the cost.
1t is to the credit of our for
eign born citizens that taken as
a whole they are extremely
loyal. But there are some who
after having taken the blessings
of citizenship refuse to pay the
debt of allegiance. They
be sought out, their citi-
zenship cancelled and then
they should be told to go and
make their going prompt.

cal source was Cuba, from which the
United States gets the bulk of its
cane sugar.
"This developed competition
which, until the international agree
ment was reached, caused a serious
advance in price both of raw and
refined sugar. But with the Inter-
national Committee acting for the
Allies and the Food Administration
in control in this country, the supply
will be equally distributed and
prices stabilized.
Great quantities Of raw cane sug
ar are locked up in far-away Java,
unavailable because ships cannot be
spared to transport it. Hence the
European Allies are asking Cuba and
the duty to supply them with sugar.
The United States is making every
effort to comply with this request
for the Allies from the necessity of
transporting 100000 tons of sugar
from Java, it will release shipping
sufficient to carry about 100000 of
American soldiers to France"
When Mr.. Babst voluntarily ap-
peared the other week before the
Senate Subcommittee inquiring in
to the sugar situation, he told what
his company as we'll as the other
large refining interests were doing
to safeguard the sugar supply.
Among other things, he laid empha-
sis Of the value of sugar in packages
as an economical means of distribu-
ton. This especially interested SEN
ators Lodge, Jones and Vardaman,
and the subject was brought up in
the interview. In reply to questions, |
Mr. Babst said: |
eyes, | presume the public be-
ing interested in having the sugar
supply conserved, is equally inter-
ested in knowing why sugar in pack
ages can be more economically dis
tributed than loose sugr. And this

is of the new schoo! Of Big Business
managers who believes the public is
entitled to know all about it.
In the interview Mr.. Babst cover
! ed every phase of the sugar situa-
ton. First, he spoke Of the pros
poets of the immediate future, which
most concerns the housewife. Said
he:
Sugar will soon be more plenti-
full, with the new crop of sugar cane
being harvested in Cuba and Porto
Rico. Everything is favorable to a
sufficient supply for our needs, but
not enough to use sugar eXtrava-
gantly or wastefully. There must be
no overbuying or boarding."
"And what about the price," he
was asked.
"Ordinarily the so-called law Of
supply and demand is a most i'm
portant factor in regulating the
price Of sugar as of every other COM
modify. But this law has been more
or less, if not entirely, suspended as
the result of the control of the sugar
situation by the act Of six govern
ments, including our own"
Mr.. Babst agrees with Mr.. Hoover
that if the Allied nations had not en-
tered into joint agreement 70 con-
serve the available sugar supply, the
price to the consumer would have
scared. Said he in explanation:
"The facts are these: Europe's
production of sugar was not only
greatly curtailed when the opposing
armies swarmed over the sugar beet
fields of northern France and Bel
GUM. but England and other foreign
countries were forced to turn to
other sources for sugar. The logi-

''In the first place. package sug-
ars are weighed ard packed by ma
chine. This saves the grocer's time
and stops his loss by spi!agc which
occurs when sugar has to be scooped
by hand cut Of a barrel, carried. to
4 the scales, weighed and tied in pa
per bags. And when he counts this
saving, plus the value of his time and
the cost of paper bags and string, he
finds he can handle package sugar
more economically.
Sugar in packages also enables
him to restrict sales to actual needs,
to make it go as far as possible. In
our own experience during the re-
cent period of great sugar scarcity,
we were able to distribute sugar
more widely because instead of
sending barrel of $50 pounds to
one grocer, we could send cases of
.120 pounds to three grocers." !.
In conclusion, Mr.. Babst said: j
''With the sugar refining industry
in this country carried on by large
business units, the public has bene-
fitted. We and the other sugar re-
finers have fully appreciated our re-
sponsibility to safeguard the sugar /
supply, made especially difficult by |
present world conditions"

sumed in the United States.

Allies can consolidate under one
staples from our market and nc
abolished, but by cooperative bu
proper balance between the right!
This plan was favorably re-
ceived by the sugar refining in.
dustry, which had been ON q war
basis almost from the beginning
Of the European War.
The war had brought the Allies
into the Cuban market, resulting
in severe domestic and interna-
tional competition with no in
creased supplies. Naturally
prices Of refined sugar. both to
the American public and to the
Allies, rose under this forced draft.
Domestic sugar refiners, since
the outbreak Of the European War
not only have safe&uarded the
United States supply but have
maintained the lowest sugar prices
in the world.
This brilliant record is due
largely to the fact that sugar re-
filming is in the hands Of large
business units, with an excess Of
refining capacity sufficient to sup
ply all domestic needs, and 50 far
all demands Of foreign countries.
In the spring Of 1917 there was
a serious attempt at the disor-
Sanization Of the sugar refining
industry, following a long series
Of attempts at destruction Of sugar
ships.
Accompanying these incidents
were. widely circulated sensa-
tional reports predicting a sugar
famine and sugar shortage, caus-
ing widespread apprehension.
Atthat tine even with the assur-
ance Of ample supplies on hand.
retail sugar prices rose in some
sections 70 90 and Is cents a pound.
The efforts Of the American
Sugar Refining Company to allay
public alarm. to check boarding,
to accept a price less than that
which it could easily have Sc
cured, and to distribute its prod
uct fairly and evenly among the
trade, were Of real public service.
While there were great supplies
Of sugar in. far-away Java which
ordinarily would have gone to
Europe. yet the necessity for saw
ing ships became 50 &reat that
Europe turned to Cuba for even
larger supplies than previously.
It takes q cargo ship $50 days to
makes round trip between Eng
land and Java, while a round trip
between ENGLAND and Cuba can
be made in 50 days.
Under these circum stances
and seemingly to avoid paying
United States war taxes
on refined suxar the European
Allies purchased in Cuba the
sugar which ordinarily would
have come to the United States
in the fall months.
These conditions, and especial
y the necessity Of saving ships,

BUYERS AND SELLERS

One of the queer old fashioned phras-
es YOU used to hear about trade was this:
"Good wine needs no BUSH" The word
"bush" meant an old fashioned tavern
sign indicating that good article sells
itself without effort.
But il there is any article that is selling
itself without effort and initiative, one
would like to know what it is.
In the eighteenth century, it was easy
to sell things. Comparatively few people
had got ahead so far that they had any
thing to sell. Consequently when a man
did have the enterprise to put an article
on the market, he was pretty sure to dis
pose of it, assuming 1t was any good. In
those days the buyers sought the market.
They would 20 around to see what the
sellers had to sell. All seller had to do
was to sit tight in his own little shop, and
the world would come to him.
Sellers are not scarce today. Everyone
who gets ahead little in life is constant
" trying to sell something, to break into
some new field, to put over some new ar
ticle, or open up some new selling place.
Consequently there are graf many
more sellers than are needed to supply
public want. Many Of them fail. II they
just sit down and wait for trade to come,
after the manner of the old time seller,
their case is q disheartening one.
To succeed in the business world today,
the seller must rise above the mass. He
must 60 out to meet the buyer, pursue
him, prove to him that he has something
better than the ordinary seller has. Mod
ern advertising furnishes him the means
to do it inexpensively and with the least
effort. He can sit still in his store, while
the newspaper carries his story, his ideas,
his offerings, his ideasa-rohtsf
his offerings to the remotest corner Of
the town.
