JOANNES.

In sad but loving remembrance of
our dear son, Harry Wade McLain,
died October 25, 1918.
Often from my heart comes a bitter
cry,
Why, oh, why, did our dear boy die?
Then comes the answer, solemn and
sweet
Dear parents, l am only asleep.
How sadly we counted the hours
That measured one sorrowful year
Since they laid meath a mantle of
flowers.
Cur son whom We loved so dear.
A happy home we once enjoyed
How sweet the memory still;
But death has left vacant chair
The world can never fill.

SCOPE OF THE FOURTEENTH
U. S. CENSUS IS EXTENDED
viii Be the Most Important Ever
Undertaken and Includes Many Things

ndertaken and Includes Many Things
That the Fourteenth Decennial Cen
sus, on which the actual enumeration
work will begin January 2, 1920, is to
be the most important ever taken is
shown by the fact that the act of Con-
gress providing for this census ex-
pressly increased the scope of the in
quiries so as to include forestry and
forest products, two subjects never
specifically covered by any preceding
census.
The inquiries to be made relating
to population, manufactures, mines,
quarries and agriculture were also ex-
tended in their scope by Congress, the
keenest interest over the forthcoming
census having been shown by the
members Of the census committees of
both the House and Senate while the
law was under consideration.
The statistics gathered on mining
will include all oil and gas wells. Many
startling Developments in this impor-
tant branch of the nations resources
are looked for by census officials. The
figures gathered in Texas, Oklahoma
and Kansas will no doubt prove to be
those most eagerly sought for, as
shown by inquiries already received
by the Census Bureau.
The compilation and gathering Of
forestry and forest products statistics
will be in charge of a special force of
experts. The accurate and compre-
hensive figures gathered concerning
this vital natural resource will be much
in demand, and the comparisons made
with conditions existing before the
war will be of great interest.
Agricultural statistics will likewise
be the subject of special effort on the
part of the Census Bureau as the i'm
portance of farming is being realized
by the average citizen more than
ever before.

BAKER CAUSED SHORTAGE
IN u. S. SUGAR SUPPLY
Sells 22.OOO.OOO Pounds to France on
Ground that it is not Needed Here

Sells 22,OOO,OOO Pounds to France on
Ground that it is not Needed Here
That Secretary of War Baker or
dered the sale of 22,0O0,000 pounds of
sugar to the French people in one
bulk sale and did it in the face of ac-
tual sugar famine at home, is charged
by Representative Oscar E. Bland, of
Indiana, who recently made a trip to
France as a member of the sub-com-
mittee investigating expenditures in
the War Department.
This was done, according to Bland,
not only by the Liquidation Commits
sion, but by the American Expedition
airy Forces, who sold it to different or
CARNATIONS who dealt it out in Eu-
rope
Gas the result of this practice, :"
said the Indiana man, ''the army it
self, not to mention the American peo-
pie, will soon find itself out of sugar
1t has but 100000 pounds left on
hand The War Department is now
demanding of the Equalization Board
that 100000 pounds be taken from
the short supply now in the market
for the consuming public and give it
to the army for the third period of the
fiscal year.
"On the 14th day of last August the
Equalization Board asked the War
Department for authority to purchase
the Cuban crop. 1t received no reply.
On the 22nd of September the request
was renewed, and no answer has as
yet been given. In the meantime, the
Equalization Board contends, the offer
was withdrawn by the Cuban produc-
ers, with the result that the Euro
pean governments are now dealing
with them, and it is probably too late
to take advantage of the offer.
'In addition to the $4,000 00pounds
sold in France Mr.. Hoover has caused
to be shipped to Europe to help feed
the people there 7,680,000 pounds.
This amount is small, however, COM
pared to the amount sent to Europe
by the Liquidation Commission in con-
junction with Hoover"
Secretary Baker has this to say con-
corning the transaction: ga very large
amount of property was brought home
and was not sold. What was left was
not needed in this country and was
of such a character as not to justify
its transportation to the United
States"
''No sugar has been brought home,' -
declared Bland 81 wonder if the Sec
rotary of War still thinks that sugar
is not needed in this country, in view
of the fact that it is as scarce on the
table of the American public as at
any time during the war itself. And
/ think the American people will Won
der. He said he approved of what
the Liquidation Commission had done,
and yet in a letter to me he admits
that he did not know what it had done
and had no means of finding out at
any early date. At any rate, as the
result of the policy of first looking
after the interest of Europe, the Am
erican consumer is suffering from the
want of one of the chief staples of
his table"
