SUGAR AMPLE BUT ABNOR
MALLY DISTRIBUTED

The prospective production of sug-
ar for the season of 1918-1o is about
$4,000 shart tons less than the annual
average for the five years just before
the war which. as compared with a
total of 18,750,0O0 short tons, is not
of great significance, and the current
crop is regarded by the United
States Department of Agriculture as
practically sufficient to meet nor
NAL world consumption even if pres
ent stocks did not exist. Attention is
called to the fact, however, that the
world sugar supply is not normally
distributed There is a shortage in
the beet-sugar production in Europe
of 50 per cent of the prewar average
amounting to about 415O,O0O tons
while in the same time the cane sug.
ar output has increased by 3,842.OO(
tons. and the beet sugar crop of thu
United States is $4,000 tons abov,
the prewar average, though the small
est since 1914. No considerable in
crease in beet sugar production is ex
--cted within the next IL months
, though it is expected ultimately Z
exceed that of trewar times.

ONLY TWO MEN STILL MISSING
 SAY OFFICIALS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26.-- Of the thousands of Americans en- gagged in battle in Europe during the last weeks of the great war, only two remain unaccounted for at this time, according to a statement issued today by officials of the war department.
 This is considered most remarka- ble, considering the fact that two out of every three American SOL diers who reached France took part in battle, or total of 1890, ,00O; and the further fact that there were a total of 291,732 casualties.
 The total number of deaths, from all causes, the report says, was 77,422.
 Of every 100 American soldiers and sailors who took part in the war with Germany, two were killed or died of disease during the period of hostilities. In the Northern army, during the Civil war, the was about ten. Among the other great nations in the world war, between 20 and 25 in each 100 called to the colors were killed or died. The total number of battle deaths among the American forces is officially reported as 4S,900.

CATTLE DISEASED:
 DAIRY IS CLOSED

The Hinckley dairy at Fairbanks has been ordered closed by Dr. B.. c. Parker, government veterinary, who recently arrived from the coast to make an examination of Interior Alaska COWS. The order closing the dairy resulted from the discovery of tuberculosis among the cows owned by the daryman, 25 of the animals having been condemned.
 There are several cows belonging to Hinckley which have not yet been examined, but the presence of dis ease among those already gone over is sufficiently marked to warrant the belief that the others also may be affected.
 As result of the action of the veterinary, there is no fresh milk procurable at Fairbanks today, the Hinckley dairy being at present the only source of supply. And it is not known whether or not Hinckley will make an attempt to start up again this year, in view of the fact that the action of the veterinary will make it necessary for him to start with an entirely new lot of cows, unless it should be found that the five or six animals not yet examined are without trace of disease.
 All the cows condemned probably will be ordered killed, as is custom ary in such cases in the States. Tubercular cows are unfit for use as milkers and are equally unfit for
