were able to deliver a normal
amount Of sugar every day.
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"
Apart Of this increased demand
for sugar was due to the nation
wide save the fruit crop move
ment. The sugar thus used is not
gone. 1t is saved. It is simply in
the fruit and jam jar instead of
the sugar bowl.
Sugar has sold in the United
States throughout the war at an
average price lower than in any
other country. 1t is one Of the
cheapest foods the nation has.
Admittedly one Of the reasons
for this brilliant showing. in view
of changed world conditions, has
been the fact that the domestic
cane refining industry is in large
units.
1t is a noteworthy tribute to the
domestic refining industry which
will be better appreciated the
more the events Of the last two
years are studied.
Domino Package Sugars have
been Of great value in the wider
and more even distribution of
sugar.
A barrel holds $50 pounds Of
loose sugar. all Of which usually
goes to one grocer. It has been
possible to ship practically the
same amount Of package sugar in
three l20-pound cases to three
different Grocers.
The grocer has been able to
handle these Domino Cane Sugars
already packaged in cartons and
small cotton bags. thus tending to
check boarding.
1t will be necessary for srocers
and consumers to watch carefully
their distribution and purchases
during the approaching period Of
readjustment.
Housewives can Cooperate with
this plan by buying Domino Pack.

production is unavailable to t
The main sources Of available
sugar for the United States and
the Allies are narrowed down to
the West Indies principally Cuba.
Hawaii, the Philippines. Louisi-
ana, and the susar-beet fields Of
the Middle West.
Cuba has now increased its pro-
duction Of sugar cane. but Eng
land. France and other foreign
countries perforce have increased
their importations of sugar from
Cuba.
There is an abundance Of sugar
in far-away Java. It is as useless
to the world as unmined gold, be-
cause no nation can spare the
ships to carry it.
This country and Europe could
only procure sugar from Java by
using ships badly needed to carry
American troops and supplies to
France.
1t takes $50 days for a cargo
ship travelling at the rate Of 200
miles day to so from England
to Java and'return, counting in
the loading and dischargins at
both ends. The same ship travel
Ing between New York and France
takes SO days for a round trip.
Therefore the same ship can
make three round trips between
New York and France while it is
making one round trip between
England and Java.
The competition among nations
for Cuban raw sugar has forced
up its price. with necessary cor
responding increase in the cost Of
refined sugar. This competition
has now been overcome by the
combined efforts Of the United
States Food Administration, the
Allied Governments. and oil ele-
ments Of the sugar industry.
In the midst Of such abnormal
conditions. this Company has
done everything within its power,
in cooperation with the Govern
ment, to provide an even distribu-
ton Of sugar to consumers at the
lowest possible price.
In constant effort to stabilize
the price, we have even sold sugar
at less than market prices-for
some time at full cent a pound
below the market.
Last February and March there
were severe strikes in the re-
fineries Of this and other COM

doesn't show in the comparative

1t, Is a foregone conclusion. The
Cleveland club. while full of strength,
lacks sufficient confidence. and has
been pieced together too many times
of late to give 1t a real chance for
the flag.
The Chicago club made a game
fight to maintain the prestige It car
ried over from the end of the preced-

ers as Jackson, Faber and Williams,
TO sey nothing of Lynn, left a hole
that could not be plugged.
Owner Comiskey made a mistake
when he failed to prepare for the
certainty hat the army and navy
were going to get some OF his play
