CUBA CANE SUGAR.

The Cuba Cane Sugar Corporation
S1ill show earnings for the current
Year said to be the largest in it's
history. when it is remembered that
)she earnings for the crop for the
fiscal year ended June so were made
on the basis of 10 cents a pound for
sugar, a still further decline in the
price would have little effect on the
company.
The company has already sold some
of it's next years crop at 1914 cents a
pound. There has been a shortage OF
sugar. but the recent spectacular
rise to over 20 cents a pound was
purely the result of speculative
operations by retailers and others
and did not affect the operations. or
profits of the producing companies.

TENDER is not widely different from
the same month year ago.
Pennsylvania officers estimate that
for the first week of September
freight revenue increased only about
10 or IL per cent on account of the
new rates, while, for the hrst two
weeks the gain due to rates was be-
tween IS and so per cent. Passenger
revenues for the latter period Will
have increased not more than 10 per
cent on account of new rates.
Eventually both the Pennsylvania
and the Philadelphia and Reading
should realize the rate benefits to a
considerably greater degree, officers
say About so per cent of Pcnnsyl-
vanias freight moves entirely within
the Eastern district, where the ad-
vance in rates is 40 per cent.

INDUsTRIALS CARRIED Up.

The strength in the rails carried
the industrials UP a point and more.
Steel common rose to SEA and Bald
win Locomotive to 1898.
American Sugar sold down | point
to Io1, but quickly came back to 1O2.
From present indications American
Sugar will close tho current year with
a substantial surplus after dividends.
Large equipment orders accrued by
Baldwin are looked upon by many as
tho beginning OF liberal equipment
buying by railroads.
Equipment companies will get the
beneft of new railroad financing, and
there has been buying of stocks of
this class on the theory that they
should move UP in sympathy with the
railroads.

Refugee Child Waits
On Ellis Island to Hear
Decision As to Her Future
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-Without a
country. as result of an order by
immigration authorities refusing her
admittance to the United States,
Evodokia Gorelkina, IL year old Rus
sian refugee, has been held at Ellis
Island awaiting the next Of LIES
tuffets
When Bolshevist troops threatened
Tomsk, where Evodokia lived with
aristocratic parents, she fed with
American Red Cross workers to Vladi-
vostok and, with 100 other refugee
children, travelled aboard the steam
ship Yomei Maru nearly around the
world.
The arrival of the Red Cross refugee
ship at Finnish port, where the chill
dren and their parents were to be re-
united, found Tomsk still in Bolshevist
hands, and Evodokia was unable to
find her parents. So she was taken in
charge by the Red Cross workers and
brought back to the United States. A
special board of inquiry refused to ad-
NIT the child because she was unac-
companied by either parent and likely
to become a public charge.
An appeal from this decision is be-
ing made by Red Cross workers to
| the authorities at Washington.
Meanwhile Evodokia looks across
the bay at busy New York and yearns
for something besides ships and the
sea.

This Weeks Beauty Help

1t Is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty of the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissolving a teaspoonful of can
thfox which can be obtained from any
druggists, in a cup of hot water. This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply 1t to all
the hair instead of just to the top Of
the head. This, when rubbed into
the scalp and onto every strand Of
hair, chemically dissolves all impuri-
ties. 1t is very soothing and cooling
in it's action. as well as beneficial to
both scalp and hair. After rinsing
out the lather so created, you will find
the scalp is fresh. clean and free from
dandruff, while the hair dries quickly
and evenly, developing bright luster
and a soft fluffiness that makes it
seem very heavy-Advertisem

VIII Discuss Finances
OF States Big Schools
(By Associated Press)


INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25.--The q.
'nancial situation confronting Purdue
university, Indiana university and the
Indiana State Normal school at Terre
Haute. will be discussed here next
Monday night at a meeting of educa
tors. legislators and citizens from all
parts of the state.
Appropriations for the three insti
tutions to be asked of the legislature
in January are expected to amount to
at least $3.OO0,0 900, approximately
twice as much as granted for the cur
rent year. Official announcement OF
the requests, however has not been
made. Financial officers of the insti
tutions say that the appropriations
have not kept pace with the increased
cost of living, including supplies, and
this accounts for the plight OF the
state schools.
