43, 900 BARRELS or
WHISKEY DESTROYED
FIRE DESTROYS
THE GREEN RIVER DIsTlL-
LERY AT GREENSBORO, KY.

Greensboro, Ky, Aug. 24.-Fire
starting tonight az seven O'Clock Al
the plant of the Green River Disabling
company here by 1890 O'Clock had
destroyed the entire plant, 43,000 bar
rels OF whiskey and entailed loss
well In excess of S3.000,0O0. The Ahis-
key alone was valued aA$2,Slo,000 ana
the loss to the United States govern
ment in taxes is approximately So
10000.
The blaze started in a pile of trash
alongside the distillery bottling plant
which burned first. The flames we're
then communicated to a warehouse
containing 5000 barrels of whislIey
and then to the still house.
Two other warehouses containing
$4,000 barrels of whiskey then took
fire despite every effort that had been
made to check the blaze. The fire was
spectacular in the extreme, the flames
mounting hundreds of feet in the air
Every few minutes a blazing Darrei
Of whiskey driven upward by the eX-
| plosion OF other barrels, would rise to
| a great height and then fall When
it struck the whislIey it contained
would be spread over the ground in a
blazing sheet for many yards. Burning
streams OF whiskey ran through the
bitches of the open fields into the Ohio
river, the whole surface of which
seemed at times to be on fire.
The difference in the value placed
upon the whiskey and the amount q
tax estimated to have been lost by the
| government is accounted for by the
| fact that the internal revenue tax had
not been paid on any of it and the val
uation placed upon it was the value
of spirits tax unpaid The tax on
whiskey is $500 a proof gallon and
the average contents of a barrel of
whiskey when first placed in the
warehouse with no outage" allow
ance is AZ 12 gallons.

Allies Production Falls.

Taking the Allied nations as a group
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf
fered most by the war. The French
yield Of beet sugar is now only 291
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out.
break Of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average of 752, ,542 tons of
sugar each year. For 1917-18 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as com.
pared with more than 200 that were
In existence before the war and before
the general campaign of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 1917-18
than in 1o16-17, when the total output
was 2O2, ,415 tons.
Italy in 1918 produced 1008
tons of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
110,250 less than the annual output Of
sugar for the five year pre-war Pc
riod.
One Of the great difficulties expert
enced In Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands of men usually
employed In beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
matsly half of the usual quantity of
beets harvested.

Inspector of Workshops And
Factories IN This City. Finds
Some Employers Breaking
Laws In Employing Girls
Under Age.

S. r. May. of Lewisburg, O., dis
trict deputy inspector of workshops
and factories, has been in the city for
several days inspecting conditions in
the shops and factories. He has also
made the rounds Of the retail stores.
He reports that he finds employers
throughout the city complying fairly
well with the state laws and regula-
tions with the exception of few in
stances.
He said in one factory where many
girls are employed it was simply i'm
possible to raise the windows on the
floors without the use Of a crow-bar.
Had fire broken out in this establish
ment, the girls would have been caught
like rats in a trap. The firm gave the
matter immediate attention upon be-
ing notified by the Inspector.
Inspector May also found a number
of instances where girls, under the age
prescribed by law, have been employ
ed or working more hours than the
law permits. In these cases the en-
ployers were warned against this prac-
tice and the inspector will return in
La few days and said if he should find
that the law IS still being violated,
some firms are going to get some un-
pleasant publicity and punishment.

WORLD SHORTAGE
in BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR is ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls one-third
in Rigid War Economy
Practlced,

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as we'll as the
neutrals, the U. S. Food Administra
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
1917-1918 is at least three and a half
million tons.
That the 1917-1918 crop of cane sug-
ar was two million tons In excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half of
the world cane crop, and the Java sug
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java a large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
IT requires 100 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possiblli
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
Of Java sugar this season are remote.

FRANCE AND BELGIUM
GET AMERICAN SUGAR

Ninety-flve per cent. Of all refined
sugar sent from the United States to
the Allied nations went to France and
Belgium during the first five months
of this year.
France got y per cent, or nearly
S3,0O0Ooo pounds, and Belgium receiv-
ed nearly 100000 pounds, or % per
cent.
In each country this sugar was doled
out by strict rationing organization
The entire amount to the Allies in
these five months 23,7 ,791 tons, almost
half Of which was shipped in Mays
only about one-half of / per cent of
our total annual consumption
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1918-09-27

OVER 70 per cent. of the sugar used in the United
" States is delivered by ships There is produced
about 800 900 tons of beet sugar and 250000 tons of
cane sugar in Louisiana. The total consumption of the
United States about 4500 600 tons of which
makes about 1880, 900 tons of refined sugar.
If our coasts were blockaded as Germany's now are
we would available for the of the people of the
United States only pound of for four we
use Under such circumstances there doubt that the
American people would get along this limited supply
without complaint.
The United States Food Administration is asking
every American household TO not more than two
pounds of sugar per person each month for domestic
use Reducing sugar consumption here means that
we will be able to help supply the needs of France Eng
land and Italy Sugar conservation on the American
table also means conservation of ships.
The Army and Navy have sent out an IS o. s. call
for ships "Save Our Ships to Transport Troops and
Munitions to France order that keep the fight
Ing where is and not allow to extend to
our own homes" is the message.
There is ample sugar in the world for all require
ments-in fact there is large surplus but on account
of the ship shortage is not available for in this
country.
Java which produces 15 per cent. of the worlds
cane crop 10 too far removed requires $50 to 160
days for ship to go to Java and return.
