Food Administration
Makes New Sugar Price
Eleven Cents a Pound

With the approval of the president
the Sugar Equalization board has
fixed the price of graduated sugar
for next years basis at SO per hun
bred at seaboard points. This new
price is an increase over the present
price, but has for its purpose the
standardizing of prices throughout
the United States, announces the
federal food administration for Ne
braska.
On the new basis the cost of sugar
in any locality may be had by adding
freight, plus charges permitted to
dealers. Under this price, the cost of
sugar will advance in Omaha, but the
raise will not be effective until later,
as wholesalers and jobbers of Ne
braska are we'll supplied with sugar.
Ultimately it means that con-
sumers will be required to pay H.
cents per pound for sugar.
While the new schedule becomes
effective Monday, wholesalers and re-
tailers are required to sell their
stocks on hand at profit over the
present cost. Averaging of costs will
not be permitted. Inasmuch as prac-
tically all Nebraska dealers have from
IS to 80 days stock on hands, it will
be some time before the new prices
are felt here,

The Omaha Church federation.
with the coming of its executive sec
retary. Frank f. Mayer, is preparing
to inaugurate in this city a movement
which has been growing throughout
America within recent years, and
which is the result of new spirit of
cooperation among The leaders of all
the churches. This spirit has re-
ceived a decided impetus during the
past years of war. and many lines of
religious effort are being undertaken
by organizations of churches today
which were previously left to individ-
ual churches.
AS matter of fact the religious
leaders of the United States are
learning that one armed claquer is
not of any great use in making "a
noise. He who would do much ap-
plauding must have two vigorous
hands. The churches have decided
that they must make noise and will
hereafter use all their denominations
hands in a cooperative claque to at
tract the attention OF sinful world
The plans of the Omaha Church
federation for presenting the claims
of the churches to the public, and for
more effectively organizing the re-
ligious forces of the city, are not as
yet dehnitel formed. The executive
committee is now at work on a pro-
gram to cover the church year.
The work undertaken by the fed
Grafton will cover evangelism, with
campaign in which each church will
participate in its own way; social
service, in which a raited effort will
be made to solve some of the irritat-
ing problems which are constantly
presenting themselves in the civic life
of the community, and, of course.
there will be for the present time az
program of war work calculated to
put the whole energy of the churches
back of the effort to win the war and
to win it in the right way.
According to Secretary Mayer the |

which frequently arises in connection
with a federation of the churches
he said, is the fear that there will be
interference with the work of the
churches. Nothing of this sort is to
be permitted. The federation is the
servant of the churches in doing the
things which ought to be done by
united effort. AS such a servant it
can and will do great work in Oma-
ha, but the plans for this work must
OF necessity be worked out slowly
and carefully"
That there are big jobs on which
the churches may and should unite is
the unquestioned decision of the
times. In the theological interpreta-
ton of religion there is still room for
UNCONVENTIONAL difference. In the
practical application of religion to the
relief of the worlds hurts there is no
possible ground for discussion.
The trenches in Europe and the
Red Cross rooms in America are
wiping out any ancient notion that
dogma furnishes sufficient reason
lol utIOlllllldllOlldl Suite. Wnlie
creeds retain their power and place
in intellectual and spiritual life the
churches are finding broad basis for
union in the task of applying religion
to life 1t is the work of the Church
federation to furnish the machinery
for doing this necessary thing in
Omaha.
The officers of the organization are
Rev. Harry B. Foster, president; Rev
John T. Hawk, vice president; A. A.
Remington, secretary; A. N. Eaton
treasurer; Frank f. Mayer, executive
secretary. The Office of the fedora
ton is in the Young Mems Christian
association building.
The executive committee, which has
in hand the work of outlining the
program for the coimng year of work.
has decided to meet every Tuesday
noon for conference. For the present
the subcommittee to be appointed
are on evangelism, social service and
war work.

vision Rousing Welcome
and Wishes Them God
speed Overseas.

Sergeant c. D. Highly, an Omaha
soldier who has been stationed with
the national guard regiments at Camp
Cody, N. NJ, is now stationed at
camp Dix, n. j.. together with other
members of the Sandstone" division.
In a letter received by his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beecher Highly, he
notes a big difference in hospitality
between the east and west. In his
b letter he said:
Somebody of prominence once
said: Go west, young man, go west
am going to change that to Soldier,
come east
Il am weSterner-a native of
Omaha, and proud of it; but | must
admit that the east has the west
skinned. insofar as enthusiasm is con-
cerned. Evidently, the west is hardly
aware OF the fact, or does not fully
realize that we are really at war.
The boys of the Sandstone d.
vision (the 24th) left Camp Cody, N.
NJ, desert of sand, glad of the fact
that they were leaving and on their
way to an ocean of water; and when
they crossed from Kansas into Mis-
souri,, they came literally out of the
west into the east, for right there's in
my imagination, is great big black
boundary line. And why? All the
way, from the middle of Missouri to
Camp Dix, the people had the glad
hand for us, and were net bit back
ward about showing it.
mo matter what time OF day, there
was a crowd at the station to greet
us and wish us Godspeed; and the
further east we came the more fer
vent the people were. They were OF
the depots way into the middle of
the night-all classes, all sizes and
ages, were with us from start to fin
ish. All showed the intensity of
their feelings in some way or other.
They shook our hands; asked for our
addresses; bought us cigars; invited
US to dinner (if there was time; all
very sorry that there WASN'T; gave
us cigarettes, fruits, everything. The
old ladies (mothers, presume,) were
possibly crying; the Old men 'were.
beaming happily; the young ladies
were bashfully solicitous; and the
kids were uproarious. Everywhere
flags were flying; on Our way we
could see dish towels and dust cloths
that weA paused in their work to
wave US on. In the mining and smelt-
ing district the whistles shrieked,
yying with the children.
Believe me, folks, it warmed our
hearts. And l, a/native of your
home city, ask of you to please wake
up and be with us boys all the time.
Never before has the east been very
far ahead of the west. Don't let it
be now.
The women of this country are
working, not talking of knitting, etc.
You may see them on the faIms; on
the street cars as conductors; driv-
ing taxicabs and trucks; and on
section gangs. They are in the smelt-
er, taking the places of their hus-
bands, brothers or sons. He has
gone to fight, but his work is being
kept up. They are not afraid of real,
live work.

up his mind whether or not to use the
exhibit as an advertising means dur
ing the fourth Liberty loan drive.
In that case the exhibit will be d.
vided into four or five sections so
that more territory may be covered.
Even il the exhibit is not used as part
OF the Liberty loan drive, il may be
divided anyway. The Omaha con-
tract calls for the whole show. The
matter will probably be decided early
this week.
Con. T. Kennedy, president OF the
Kennedy shows, which are signed
up for the carnival, visited lhe city
last week He expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the location of the
carnival, but the size of the shows.
he said. may make it difficult to crowd
them all in on the carnival grounds.
He expects to be able to arrange the
matter, however.
