SUGAR FAMINE CERTAIN

Belief.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Howard Van
Gracy, director of the Holland.st.
Louis Sugar Company, in . statement
here today declared that the shortage
Of sugar throughout the world is such
that higher prices are inevitable. ~
"The United States secures its sugar
supply from two sources. beet and
cane" he. said. S"1h9 cane sugar
comes from Louisiana, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines. the great.
or bulk being Cuban sugar. The re-.
mainder comes from the American
beet. As our consumption will be in
the neighborhood of 4.500,OOO tons,
whereas the new beet crop will be less
than 100000 tons, 1t is obvious that
beet sugar comprises only about one.
fifth Of the country's consumption.
Virtually No Sugar In U. s.
AT the present time there is vir.
tually no sugar in the country and
neither retailers, dealers nor whole
salers have enough sugar to supply
the demand. AS the total amount of
sugar in Cuba and elsewhere avail
able for the United States before
January / 10 only approximately 6O0,-
900 tons whereas the requirements
Of the country will be approximately
100000 tons, this whole amounting
to 100000 tons will have to be stopped
by the new beet crop. This crop,
which is ordinarily distributed
throughout the ensuing 12 months is
only about 100000 tons, it is obvious
that IT. 100000 tons are applied during
the next three months, that the pub.
lie will be absolutely without sugar
at some time during 1920.

nervous reaction in his digestive or.
gans.

on the cancellation of his remaining
appointments and his immediate re-
turn to Washington, Notwithstanding
the Presidents earnest desire to com.
paete his engagements"

hard ordeal of more than three weeks
of travel and speechmaking, it be.

had suffered from headaches. He
also has been much fatigued by the
confinement on his special train, in.
terrupted only by brief stops which
have been spent mostly in riding
through crowds and speaking to au-
diences so large as to require all his
exertion to make his voice heard.

about half a dozen nights on the

the business district of Columbis

damage was done Sunday morning.
The fire started in the home Of C. w.
Fisher, where the negro cook had
permitted gasoline to accumulate on
stove, which ignited. The fire de-
partment succeeded in holding the
blaze to one room, where little dam
age was done. Had the flames
gained any Roadway it would have
no doubt been the most serious fire
in the history of Bogalusa.
