III tubs at that price. Hence it would
be expected that the better family
grade would bring a higher price. One
local dealer has contracted for 100 gal
Ions Of syrup at 81 q gallon. He thinks
the price is too high, but certain Gus
toners from outside the city wanted
the syrup and he secured an option on
100 gallons at that figure. The price
may eventually run above or below
that price. Because of the shortage
Of cane sugar il is expected more farm

much Is made, farmers do not have

A CHEERING ANNIVERSARY.

It is according to the eternal fitness of things that
the overwhelming defeat the kaiser has met on the Marne
front comes on the anniversary of the begun by him
in his dream of world conquest At all points along this
front the Germans are in full retreat met and whipped
bopelessy 1t is four years since they overrun Belgium
and made what they believed to be an irresistible drive
on Paris Then they had no doubt as to the outcome
and marched ahead certain of victory Their confidence
was only exceeded by their arrogance which was SHOWN
in their violation of all rules of civilized warfare their
inhuman treatment of the civilian population and their
wanton destruction of property They thought then tney
were nyincbe and that they could be called to ac
count for their crimes They have had long penOd Oh
successes but it has to an end and they now Ino
themselves the hares instead of the hounds retreang
before superior enemysuperior in spirit and determin-
ationand they find the game very different The BRIT
sh and French have driven them out OF their strongod
At scissors and the Americans have pushed i've miles
through their defenses Everywhere along the line buf
ing villages and destroyed munitions mark their line OF
flight 1t is almost rout and may yet be so determined
he indications are that the retreat will not be stopped
until the Asne is crossed and they back at the po
ston from which they started the drive whcn was to
have brought victory and peace according to the hopes
held out to the soldiers and the people at home nstead
the worst defeat they have met has overtaken them a
all they have accomplished by their drive is the loss OF
half million men, and great stores OF suppnes ana llu
ntions More than that they have lost confidence ana
have learned that the boasted superman is not German
They now face not only the power OF America but reJu
yenated and heartened armies whose tgntlng powers
have been doubled by the backing of America and the
hope now becoming reality of certain victory ana the
end of the terrible conflict they have so grandy raced
under conditions which before America entered the war
had grown almost hopeless 1t is not only America the
kaiser must face but this spiritual force that mas taken
sides with the French and British 1t is great ami
yersary though the Germans will hardly look at 1t that
way.
