A World Survey Was Made
Our churches know the needs
that must be met. They know
exactly how every dollar-evcry
penny-will be used for the great
est good without waste.
A world survey was made by
the churches that astounds business
men In its thoroughness. County
after county was studied; the coun-
tries of the world were visited and
reported in minute detail.
How the Enterchurch
World Movement Originated
Our churches said: "The task of
meeting the urgent needs shown by
the world survey is too great for us
to do individually as denomi-
nations. We must do this work
together"
So thirty great denominations
are cooperating-each keeping its
own purpose and identity-but all
working together under the name
of the Interchurch World Move
ment-
Because of this cooperation, it
is estimated that over one million
dollars win be saved alone In elimi-
mating waste and duplication.

PER CAPITA USE
SHOWS INCREASE
SUGAR IN CHICAGO
TO BE 80 CENTS

CHICAGO, April 23.-Sugar prices
scared TO new high levels here today.
Wholesale grocers today were notified
By sugar rehners that the best price
they can be quoted IS 291z cents
pound
This means sugar at 50 cents a pound
to the consumer, wholesalers say.
at is al due TO an overestimation OF
the Cuban production said B. L.
Thomas, sugar buyer for the largest
wholesale grocer in the west
'sThe Cuban planters estimated four
and half million tons.
1T was less than four million.
Unless some step is taken by the
government to curtaiI its sale, the sit
cation viii be serious.
"T believe eventually that the gov
eminent will have 10 ration sugar
Thomas declared his firms last pur-
chases cost slightly over IS cents a
pound.
Today's quotations show a jump Of II
cents a pound since then.

SWEET TOOTH
HOSTING PRICE
OF SUGAR HERE
Abnormal Demand Shown by
Americas Gluttony and
Neglect of Market.
sPECULATOR IN GAME

America Is paying dearly for her
~swee. tooth
And she is making the rest Of tie
world pay for 1t, too.
This is one of he things found out by
a reporter who went on the trail OF Ike
truth about the sugar situation
He also found men who ought TO know
being in the sugar business-who de-
elired that spectators had taken ad-
vantage of the situation and forced the
price to an abnormal basis.
Another reason. so the reporter was
told, is that Great Britain entered into
competition with America Ii Luying
Cuban sugar, and took quite q big slice
Of it TO the British Isles for afternoon
teas and other uses.
EXPERT ASSIGNS
CAUSE OF PRICES.
One man, who is classed rs an author
ity on sugar, said that the high price of
sugar is due, first, TO the abnormal In
crease in the demand for sweets: second,
10 the railroad strike, which held up
shipments, and third, 10 speculators-
America failed to get into the opening
buying In Cubs until a late date for
this years crop, according to sugar
dealers
The general opinion in the sugar trade
circles was that an open market with
competition, following the end of gov
eminent control, would force down the
price Of sugar
SPECTATORS GET
FINGERS IN PIE.
But spectators got their fingers in
the pie in Cuba. Rehneries did not
grab the crop, and TO keep refneries
going they began 10 refine sugar for
speculators-at about cents a pound
IN January sugar was wholesaling IN
New York ar 122s cents a pound and
dropped 10 91s cents pound IN Febru-
sTy. further drop was looked for
and II didn't materialize.
Today the price of raw sugar is 1SH
to 20 cents. II is asserted.
PER CAPITA Use
SHOWS INCREASE.
In 1918 the consumption Of sugar per
capita was eighty-fOur pounds.
n 1910 II was ninety-tw0 pounds
With only 4,s11,OOO tons available for
1920 against a demand for consumption
Of 1000, 600 tons 4 shortage OF 249 900 tons
appears, officials say.
With a growing demand for candles,
soft drinks and all products, and with
a world market for sugar, many sugar
dealers predict that sugar VIII stay at 4
high price for three years at least.
