Columbia, Aug. SIT is sternly
necessary for the retailers to super
wise the sale of sugar and prevent
those who are greedy and unpotriotic
from obtaining more than their share, I"
says the Food Administration in an
order requiring the retailer to keep a
record of all sugar sales made. A
carbon copy of this record is to be
sent to the County Food Administra-
tor, and a check will be kept upon
those who seek to buy more than their
proportionate share Of sugar.
It is essential that an equal distri.
button of sugar is made as the sugar
situation is very acute. -:
The profit on sugar will be closely
watched by the Food Administration.
The retail profit should not be more
than one cent a pound, except where
the fraction of cent is involved.
Sales of sugar should not exceed
two pounds at one sale to customer
who lives in town, and should not ex-
ceed FIVE pounds to q customer resid-
ing in the rural districts. For can
ming purposes not more than 25 pounds

The German officer then reached
down into his pockets, and pulling out
some shining coins, placed them in

Simon looked at the coins and Wis

tightly in his hand and gazed after
the officer. Then tears came to his
eyes-a lump arose in his throat and
hesitating moment began to run

He could not catch his breath. He

RARE ANIMAL TROPHIES FROM ALASKA
BROUGHT HOME BY QUARTET HUNTERS
J. A MCGUIRE Publisher of Outdoor Life, Harry James,
Banker, Head Party Which Spent Four Months
ing Specimens of Animal Life Colorado
Museum of Natural History.

After completing one of the most
dangerous and important hunting ex-
petitions, from a scientific point of
view, undertaken by huntsmen in
many years, a party of Denver hunt
ers and naturalists have returned to
Denver from Alaska with twenty
seven valuable specimens for the Colo
RADIO Museum of Natural History. The
party, which included ]. A. Mcclure,
publisher of Outdoor Life; Harry
James, a Denver banker and sports
man; William James, his son, and AL
bert c. Rogers, taXidermist for the
museum, was absent from Denver
seventy-nine days, forty-nine Of which
were spent in the game regions.
The hunters slipped out of the city
return very few persons outside the
circle of their immediate friends were
aware of their expedition.
The specimens obtained for the mu-
scum include fifteen white sheep,
found only in the Yukon; two moose,
five caribou and five goats. With these
additions the museum now possesses
these four groups complete with the
exception of three caribou and two
moose. The white sheep group is COM
plete and is one of the few complete
white sheep groups in the country.
The expedition was conceived when
Jesse d. Higgins, director of the Colo
rado Museum of Natural History, sug-
gested to MIR. Mcclure that he get up
a party to hunt for specimens in the
famous Yukon basin, the sport para
disc of America. The party was soon
arranged and left Denver July 81. The
huntsmen sailed from Seattle and
landed at the port of Cordova. From
this point they journeyed by rail 200
miles into the interior to the town of
Mccarthy, where they were outfitted
for the hunt
Weather Was. Mild
The weather was mild, not unlike
that of Colorado, according to Mr.. Nc
Guire, and many of the citizens of
Cordova wore straw hats on the day
the Denver men arrived. -
The Quitting of the party required
some time and great deal of labor.
The first requisite of a successful
trip is good guides" said Mr.. Mcclure,

of the best men 1 have ever been out
with. We also hired japanese cook,

on the trip. He was an excellent

but the kaiser, intoxicated with his
own exuberance in the belief that he
was the "Gottman" and his people the
superpeople of the world, got funny,
real funny, and seemed to think that
he could reach out and gobble up the
world. So he slapped Uncle Sam on
the cheek and sank the Lusitania.
Uncle Sam, in good Jesus fashion,
turned the other cheek, but the kaiser
slapped him again and sank the Ara
bic. Still Uncle Sam, in Christian
once more, and again the kaiser
slapped it by sinking the Aneona.
Uncle Sam stayed Christian as long
rs he could, but when the kaiser sunk
the Sussex, it dawned upon Uncle
Sam that Jesus in His Sermon on the
Mount had never forgotten the pre-
cepts of Moses-An eye for an eye,
and tooth for tooth, limb for a
limb, and n life for life. Then he
turned to the kaiser and said:
"You have slapped me often enough.
Now stop it."
But the kaiser went on slapping
with his U-boat, and Uncle Sam, roll
ing up his sleeves, put his sword in
it's hilt, his gun on his shoulder, and
this snake champion of the world who
laughed at peace, who wanted to con-
quer the world by the sword, who
Knocked Mt the teachings of scripture,
who slapped cheek upon cheek, is now,
in Caesar fashion, crying:
Help me, Peace, or 1 sink" But
there Is no Cassius, not even the
crown prince or Hindenburg, to save
the kaiser from the Tibcr Of his own
destruction.

WINTER TIME RETURNS SUNDAY WHEN
CLOCKS TURN BACKWARD ONE HOUR
Way the Trick Is by Pushing the Minute Hand
Avoid Being Out of the Syrebronizing
Range; Then You Can Sleep One Hour Longer
Next Monday Morning.

Backward. turn backward, oh
Time in thy flight" This will be the
game played all over the United States
tomorrow night, when arbitrarily the
clocks of the nation will be turned
backward one hour, and residents will
find themselves subject to the old time
the time by which they were guided
before the solons in Washington
adopted the daylight saving plan"
which became effective April l. Until
March 81, 1919, that plan will be laid
on the shelf.
The problem which occupied the
public mind when the clocks were ad-
vanced last April will occupy the
same minds when they are turned
backward tomorrow, viz, just how
and when the task would be done and
how easily to accommodate them
selves to the change. In many of the
homes the clocks will simply be turned
