Walter Harper.
A mastery sermon was delivered
by Rev. ]. HI. Thomas of Dyer at the

ion' and was. one of the most ap-
propriate and inspiring sermons. In

Shropshire were elected for another
year as president and secretary, and
by request, Beech church was elect
ed as the next meeting place, time

some time. His address was full
of information and wholly inspiring
and followed by A. III. Walker. State
Secretary of the State Sunday School
organization, swho. sis.well posted on,
Sunday School matters, followed by
the presentation of the subject "Pri-
mary work." by Elder T. C. CALI
colt of Rives. His talk was full of
useful suggestions and most helpful.
Miss Cummings and Miss Phebus of
Rives, gave most interesting and
talks ON the subject. 1t
is, indeed so encouraging to have
young people in the Sunday School
work, who not only arc willing to
do these things but are able to give
us something that will be also bene-
fetal and helpful.
The choir rendered during the en-
tire day, soul inspiring music and
every one present seemed to enjoy
the entire program.
These conventions arc of a char
acter that give to all Sunday School
workers helpful suggestions in the
work and thereby result in lasting
good to all participants, Sunday
School teachers, pupils and visitors.

Big Sugar Stocks

Spectators Expected to
Make Large Profit When
Control Was Released, Says
u. S. Food Administrator

Thousands of pounds Of sugar proba-
bly, will be thrown on the market fol-
lowing the fixing Of new sugar regua
tions to cover the 1920 crop by Attor-
ney General A. Mitchell Palmer, who
was made Food Administrator on Fri
day, Federal Food Administrator Ar
thur Williams predicted yesterday.
Mr.. Williams pointed out that al
though about eighty million pounds Of
sugar were being refined weekly, the
rapidly as should be expected. This
convinces him. he said, that dealers
were holding sugar for 1920, when, it
was believed up TO Friday. sugar reg
ulations would bo at an end
"These dealers probably arc con
vinced now" Mr.. Williams said, chat
they cannot hope 10 get an exorbitant
price next year. because new rcgula-
tions will be in vogue. Holding their
sugar merely will mean the tying up
of their capital. and they undoubtedly
will sell Immediately.
"There is no doubt that had sugar
not been regulated the price would be
in the neighUorhood Of twenty-five
cents a pound at retail. have fou-
requests on my desk made by dealers
asking to be permitted to sell sugar
at twenty-one and twenty-five cents a
pound. saying it had cost them almost
that much We never will approve
such transactions. because the sugar
involved would not materially affect
the situation. while the moral effect
would be almost disastrous"
Henry r. Costello, chairman of the
raw sugar division Of the Sugar Equal
ization Board. yesterday gave permis-
sion to dealers 10 dispose of 800, 900
tons. Of Porto Rican sugar, held for
export, at fourteen cents a pound on
the local market. Although this is
four cents a pound higher than the
governments fixed price, the dealers
were able to show that the sugar had
cost them almost as much. Mr.. Cos
tello had stopped the exporting of this
sugar because OF the local demand. He

The governments intention to fix a
fiat general price of l2 cents a pound
was criticized yesterday by George A.
Zabriskie, chairman Of the Sugar
Equalization Board Without such ac-
tion, he said. reduction in the sugar
price might be expected.
He pointed out that the establish
ment of fiat rate would operate as
an automatic minimum to raise the
price Of all beet sugar produced in this
country. most Of which can be produced
on a 101a or even 10 cent basis. He
added that Cuban producers would be
inspired under the fixed 12-cent rate
to hold their entire output for that
price.
Mr.. zabrskie expressed tho belief
that the sugar shortage in various
parts of the country was only tenn
porary. He said it was too late for
fixing effective government control for
next year, and that when the Sugar
Equalization Board goes out of ex-
istcncc at the end of the year regula-
ton should be limited to the preven-
ton of piotiteering

there will be no deception, in
selling them, as TO the extent
of the admixture with cotton.
Gray mixed-wool blankets are
$3.50 TO SIS pair for full sizes,
and $3.50 to $3.50 for single

All-wool blankets are becom-

hard to come by as an eight

And they ARE all-wool.
Much that is glibly represented
