SWEETEN|NG OF SOFT
DRINKS CUTS DEEPLY
INTO SUGAR SUPPLY.
AND NOW FRANCE WANTS MORE
OF AMERICAN OUTPUT TO
USE IN PASTRIES.

Paris, July 1S.-American officials at.
tempting to solve the food question are
confronted with a sugar shortage in
France that is said to call either for
Americans to sacrifice some of their
sweet drinks or for the French to give
up their sweet pastries.
The American officials, it is under.
stood, are in favor of allowing Ameri.
cans to continue the use of sugar for
their sweet dr!nks The French au.
thorities, however are eager to obtain
sugar from the United States, but eX.
portation from the American market
now is prohibited to protect American
consumers.
French food officials, it is explained,
We're given an option last fall on as
large Il proportion of the Cuban sugar
crop as they wished. The French took
81 per cent of the crop, although Ameri
can officials warned them of an impend-
ing world sugar shortage. Now that the
French face a sugar deficit they are
seeking an American supply. where
prices are lower than elsewhere.
Consumption of sugar has increased
at such an unexpected rate that Ameri
can refiners have been unable to meet
the demand. although raw sugar is
abundant. Since the United States went
dry, it is said here, consumption of
sugar there is increasing at the rate of
so, 900 tons monthly, chiefly because of
its use in sweet drinks.
While sugar was ratoned the per
capita consumption in the United States
dropped from SO pounds a year to 45.
Indications now are that the increased
use of sugar since the armistice will
make the consumption exceed all pre-
vious figures.

MIR. HOPSON Is \ DEMOCRAT

The Ardmoreite unwittingly made
an error Thursday through stating
that 7. Lee Hopson Of this city,
who has been nominated postmas-
ter for Ardmore, was said to be a
republican" The misstatement,
based upon misinformation given to
a reporter, was printed in the mail
edition and was marked out of the
regular edition, but owing to an
oversight in the printing depart
ment the correction was not made.
Mr.. Hopson is a democrat of the
old school and has always been al
lied with that party.
We cheerfully make the correc-
ton because we would do Mr.. Hop
son an injustice to associate his
name with McGraw and Borah and
a score of others we might mention
who seek to place their hands upon
the throttle of progress at this the
most critical period in the history
of the world.
