SUGAR TESTED
 MORAL FIBER Doubters Declared Saving Sta. pies Would Be Easy Compared With Sacrificing LuxurieS. FIGURES SHOW RESULTS Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup port of War by Conserving for
 the Benefit of the
 Allies.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS

When figures began to show def initely that the people of the United States were actually reducing their consumption of foods needed abroad, the United States Food Adminis- tration was told that it was com paratively easy to bring about consoe'- vation of staple necessities. but that 1t would be far more difficult to accom- plish an actual decrease in the use of luxuries. The doubters took sugar as an example, and declared that 1t would be practically impossible to bring our consumption of sugar down to a point that would meet only the food needs of the people.
 Now that demands upon ocean ton mage will be frightened, European na- tions will be able to go farther afield for foodstuffs, and will no longer be entirely dependent for sugar upon North American supplies. With the stocks now in prospect, we will have sufficient sugar to place this country back upon normal consumption if the present short rations in Europe are not materially increased. If the Eu ropean ration is to be materially in creased over the present low amount it can be only through the American peoples making it possible by con- tinued restriction to greater or less extent here.
 The fact that the Food Administra- tion has been able to relax the volun- tary sugar ration is in itself proof that the ration of two pounds per person per month was generally observed throughout the country. This conser- vation allowed the Food Administra- tion to build up a reserve, and to tide over the period of scarcity, until the the new crops of Louisiana cane and beet sugar were ready for distribution.
 The records of the Food Admins tration show that in July, August, Sep tember and October 995,O00 tons were distributed. Normal consumption for that period is 100000 tons. This shows a definite, concrete saving of over 500,000 tons. These figures ap- ply to sugar consumed on the table, in the kitchen and in the various indus tries, and show conclusively that in the homes and public eating places of America, where 70 per cent. of all our sugar is consumed, the sugar consump- ton has been reduced by more than one-third.
 In the four-month period begin ming with July, this country normally uses 100000 tons of sugar per month. Last July 100000 tons entered into distribution. In August only 225,000 tons were distributed In September the figures showed 279000 tons, and the> fell to 230,000 tons in October
 There could be no more definite proof that the American people have given their loyal cooperation and SUD- port of the war.

 All honor to a people who are going ahead" and building for the future as are these pro- gressive people. It is going to be a real inspiration for people to travel thro Monroe county in a few years more These splendid improvements are going to count in the commun- ity life. It is only going to be a matter of a few years until they have permanent roads and then it will be so much more in- viting to live in the country sections of Monroe county. Keep up the good work, friends, until the real roads lead to every rural school, church and home in Monroe county and then the big land grabbing, crop mortgaging system, that tends to entail a pauperising slavery, will have to vanish.

A Startling Discovery.-There is rea-
son to believe that there may be pc
troleum in the English hill country and
Lord Cowdray, the great British OIL
magnate, is beginning to bore Tor Oh
at various places in Derbyshire. Whhe
engaged in experimental boring some
time ago his agent sent him in DOT
tie a sample of the first crude petro-
leum struck. Lord Cowdray was IN
hurry to go out when it arrived ano
gave it to one Of his men to deliver
the analyst with note.
The servant also was in a hurry. ae
set cut to visit his wife, and took the
letter with him. Later in the evening ne
saw what he thought was the bottle on
the sideboard, and with a guilty con-
science hurried out to deliver it.
In the morning Lord Cowdray re-
ceiyed the following telegram:
yours is the first find Of the century
You've struck paregoric."

The ponkeys Are Coming, Ahal Aha!

The Denkeys Are Coming, Aha! Aha!
The missionary whom the World
Outlook. calls Miss Smithers was a
woman of observation and ingenuity;
let us hope that her experiences In
Tientsin taught her also the value OF
caution in dealing with strange peo-
pie and strange language. During
her few months in north China Miss
Smithers went about a great deal,
used her eyes and ears, absorbed much
by general observation, and often re-
turned home with new and idiomatic
phrases at her command.
On several outings she noticed that
the man who drove her donkey cart
invariably cleared a path through the
eongested street by shouting:
"Lu lai la! Lu lai la"
"Ah, this Is a good and useful man
datory phrase!" said Miss Smithers,
and she lost no time in committing 1t
to memory.
She found no occasion to use the
expression, however, until week lat
er, when she was conveying band
of forty demure mission school girls
across the city. They were marching
two by two, making slow and dill
cult progress along the crowded city
thoroughfare, when suddenly bright
idea struck Miss Smithers. Stopping
short at the head of her blushlng
charges, she lifted her hand for atten-
ton and shouted loudly:
"Lu lai la! Lu lai la"
To her astonishment. the crowd did
not give way; instead, it gathered
closer and laughed rudely, uproarious-
ly.
But Miss Smithers was Of Revolu-
tionary stock; she had the courage OF
her convictions, and again she lifted
her hand and shouted at the top OF her
voice, "Lu lai la! Lu lai la!'
Again the motley throng howled IN
derision, and at the same time young
girl near her, who could speak little
English. clutched her by the sleeve.
20 Miss Teacher-Miss Honorable
Teacher-what is it you would say?"
The ouestioner's face was scarlet.
Miss Smithers answered with per-
turbed but profound dignity: Il am
saying, Clear the path! Make way
there!"
"Oh, no, honorable Miss Teacher
your meaning may be that" the young
school girl said almost reprovingly.
"Yes, such may be the meaning, but
the words that our honorable teacnei
continually shouts are, The donkess
are coming! The donkeys are COM
ing.' Please, honorable Miss Teacher
think of us, your humble but full-ot-
feeling school girls!'
