ure Of large circle of friends he has
made during his connection with the

the state road department in 1916, Mr..
Armes had been engaged in highway
engineering subdivision engineering in
the Birmingham, Alabama district He
was connected with the Jemmison- Real

PRICED SUGAR IN 1920

will have to pay 20 cents pound
for. the advance crop of 100000
pounds of Cuban sugar now being
delivered and distributed, accord
ing to a statement by Federal Food
Administrator Williams.
This is due To the fact that deal
ers here are required to pay a high
er price to the Cuban producers for
the crop, which is in advance of the
regular output said Mr.. Williams
I'VE cannot control the prices
charged by Cubans."
After one other shipment next
month it is expected the regular
1920 crop of sugar will commence
coming into the United States and
with the delivery Of .he regular
crop, Mr.. Williams said he and his
aides would try to keep the price
down to IA or Is cents a pound.
