This October estimate of the size
of the crop is unprecedented, and

Another unusual fact. is that the

not been signed by the president be
cause of his illness, and were the
depart ment of agriculture to wait
ten days for The bill to become law
without the presidents signature, it
would be too late to make the Oc-

chamber as speedily as it went

NEXT YEARS PRICE
Of SUGAR SUBJECT
Of CONTROVERSY

WASHINGTON, D. C. - What
the ultimate consumer will hava
TO pay for sugar next year was
the subject of controversy when
a hearing was granted Louis
ana plantation owners, sugar refin-
ers and officials of the United
States Sugar Equalization board, by
the senate agriculture committee
this week.
Refners declared that because of
governmental interference the price
of sugar was from two to three
cents more a pound than it would
have been had a government pol
icy of hands off been adopted The
stateemnt was denied by Judge
William A. Glasgow. attorney for
the equalization board. Senator
McNary also took issue with
Claude A. Spreckels, president of
the Federal Sugar Refining com
pany who made the statement.
Efforts of the senate agriculture
committee to effect a fair price agree
ment between the sugar producers
consisting of the plantation growers
and refiners on one hand and the
United States sugar equalization
board on the other have thus far
failed, Senator Ransdel, Louisiana, a
member Of the committee, admitted.
Plantation owners in Louisiana
told the committee that because of
excessive rains less than SO per
cent crop would be raised this year
and that owing to the increased cost
of production, the price Of sugar
would have to be doubled if the apur
chasers were to come out even.
Both producers and refners op
posed the McNary bill which would
renew the license of the sugar equal
ization board and regulate the price
of sugar.

tells of beautiful red rose on his

it, which served as paper-weight.
Then there are incidents that excite
the "risibes" and afford needed d.

YALE GETS WEBSTER'S HOUSE
Historic Building at New Haven Has
Recently Become the Property
of the University.

In purchasing and taking posses
sion of the famous Noah Webster
house, Yale university has come into
possession of one of the oldest and
perhaps the most historical building
In New Haven.
When the venerable photographer
wrote the dictionary century ago,
he never dreamed that the home in
which he performed his literary
labors would prove the quarters of
United States troops in the greatest
Of world wars. Yet that was the
destiny Of the plain wooden building.
The university turned it over to the
Studetn Army Training corps and 1t
was occupied by soldiers till the final
rehabilitation.
1t was the home of Webster while
he resided In the city, although part
of his dictionary was written at Am
herst, Mass. He was one of Yale's
most famous professors, his work
ranking in world value with that of
his fellow professors, Samuel r. 3.
Morse and Eli Whitney.
The home stands at the corner Of
Grove and Temple streets and was
formerly the property Of CORTLAND Z.
Trowbridge, relative Of the lexicog-
rapher. The university has acquired
1t because Of its scheme to FIJI the
square bounded by Wall. Temple,
Grove and College streets with dormi-
tories for the Sheffield Scientific
school. The entire group, 1t is expect
ed will be given by Frederick w. Van
derbilt Of New York city, graduate
of the class of '76. He already has
given two large dormitories.
