But there is one thing that is
pressing-and that is urgently
pressing-and that is the decided
necessity for economy in govern

largely in the cost of living. To

And there is an equally pressure
for the use of our full man power in

To take great bodies of young men
from shops and fields for four
months next year, to be supported
in military camps would be an add
ed severe strain to labor shortage

Plenty of sugar is on the market
now. Prices are high enough TO
satisfy the profiteer. The reason
for the late autumn shortage IS
rather clearly revealed: LAST year
the refiners reported that America
was consuming more sugar than
ever. Consume in the sugar
trade has peculiar meaning. Re,
finers report sugar as consumed
when it leaves their hands not when
it is dissolved in the coffee. cup or
mixed into the cake. In this sense
