SUGAR SHORT.
AGE EXPLAINED
Attorney General Palmer
Analyses Situation to
the Retail Mer-
chants.
FROM WAR
Great Britain is Obliged to
Come West for her
Supply.

Sioux City Journal: An analysis of
the present chaotic condition of the
sugar market "a received yesterday
from the department of justice, Wash.
lingtOn, d. G., by ID. A. Magee, secre-
|tary of the Retail Merchants associa-
ton, who appealed to the department
recently for some authentic reason for
1.-THE uneven distribution to Sioux City
land asking If any relief at all may be
Expected.
The 1920 beet crop, which will begin
to reach the market about July - will
aid materially in preventing the threat
ened shortage, Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer states. "It is we'll
worth noting" the paper states, that
the attractiveness OF the present Amer
lean sugar market and favorable ex-
change rates are bringing sugar to us
from all over the world. 1t is hoped
that these offerings Of sugar will tend
to prevent a greater shortage"
European Sugar Supply Lacking.
The shortage as q hold over of war
conditions is reviewed in the report,
which states that the European output
of beet sugar is far below normal, and
that before the war Great Britain drew
so per cent Of her sugar from the
European supply. With the supply cut
off Britain must look elsewhere and
the Cuban supply is the depot on which
she must depend heavily. The Cuban
crop is said to be short for the present
because of IN unexpected drought.
In spite Of the world shortage Ameri-
can consumption reached a new high
level III 1919 of S5.43 pounds per cap
it9 as against 1886 pounds for the
year 1918.
"COnservatively estimated" the re-
port states, 1.-The American demand for
increased normally 100000 tons
per year by reason of increased pOpu-
demands for sweets"
Warns Against PrOfteering.
Jobbers and sugar brokers are urged

LUTHERAN COLLEGE
FOR EAGLE GROVE?
Talk of Consolidating
Jewell and Forest City
Colleges.

Eagle Grove TimcS-GaZette There is
Il possibility of Waldorf college, To-
Gated at Forest City. and the college at
Jewell, uniting, providing they can get
some town in the middle territory to
put up $4,000, and Eagle Grove has
been mentioned. a petition was circu-
lated to sound our business men upon
the proposition, but we have not been
informed of the result.
Waldorf college has been using Il
former hotel building and we are told
that the building is wanted again for
a hotel. hence the talk of uniting with
Jewell.
The plan will no doubt meet with the
approval of a large part Of III people.

Disgrace to Die Rich.

New York Dispatch to the Public
Ledger: 1t is my ambition to die Il
poor man, for then | shall be rich i'll
happiness and in good works."
Thus Nathan Straus, Y year old re-
tired millionaire philanthropist, told Of
his PHILOSOPHY of life when interview
ed today at "Driftwood," his country
estate ut Observation-Disclosures
Religion has never made any diff
ference in my giving" continued Mr..
Straus, for the brotherhood of man is
greater than creed or sect. i have
given my fortune away nee over, but
| have given nine-tenths of this money
to the Christians, and only a tenth to
those of my own faith. Where there is
suffering, jew and Christian are alike
and / have given irrespective of faith.
| only hope that by so doing l may set
an example to other men who are rich
that they may give also.
There is an old Hebrew saying,
What you give. in health is gold;
what you give in sickness is silver;
what you give after death is iron
You see'-Mr. Straus smiled, Il
am trying to live on il gold basis. l
believe it is disgrace for a man to die
rich. 1t is criminal for him not to
share with those who are poor and
suffering.
since l believe this, you cannot
blame me for trying to get rid OF my
money. OF course, ! want to help the
Jews, my own people, and am greatly
interested in the Zionist movement TO
restore Palestine.
There is no satisfaction in money
alone. Food and a home. work and
play-they are for rich and poor alike.
And l find the only lasting satisfaction
is in what you can do for the world.
II am trying to get rid OF my prop
critics now"

The price is also remarkable
from another standpoint. This

rare that a hog with no show win

AIRPLAMES IN GREAT WAR
Fokkers Must Be Credited With Re-
markable Work That Contributed
to Victory of Civilization.

The Fokker series Is interesting.
First, there was the mOnOplane FOX
ker, so long a menace at the front.
Then they tried the little triplane

whose speciality was climbing high
and diving down on the foe. Unfor-
tunately in the dive the top plane had
a way of coming off 1t was in a FOX
ker triplane that the RED Devil"
Baron Won Richthofen came to grief.
and you can see the engine OF his ma
chine, a 10 La Rhone, copied from a
French rotary engine.
The last type Of Fokker-and a
very good one-is the D7 biplane all
metal except for the wings, with a
high-power engine and a tremendous
climber. The specimen on show be-
lOnged to Richthofen's circus. You can
follow the attempts Of the Germans
to win security by armoring their ma
chimes, but armorng did not pay, ow-
ing to the weight and clumsiness.
Late in 1918 an extraordinary ma
chine was brought down, made entire
ly of metal, with wings Of some kind
of aluminium alloy. and brass seat
for the pilOt-the whole thing marvel
of bold nventiveness.

RANK HIGH IN P0LITENESS
5elqians Unable to Forget Courteses
Though Death in Appalling
Form Was Imminent.

The Belgians are the most polite
people In the world. Yesterday seven
correspondents travelled to Audenarde.
We were informed that we might cross
the Escaut and proceed in the direc-
ton Of Client. AS our two motor cars
came over the ridge before entering
the town they were spotted by an
eagle-eyed observer in the German
lines and as we reached the entrance
of the town and left from our cars,
preparing to enter on foot, a shell
whizzed over our heads and exploded
duly in a rain-soaked field 80 yards
beyond the road. Another followed
about the same distance short Then
they came so fast that lost count

our masks and made for the cars

to his neighbor, motioned him into the
car. He demurred, and then followed

piled in. And as we raced down the
road two Thielt shells spitefully splut-
tered along the muddy road.

How East Shot Travels.

When standing within few yards
of guns muZzle at the time of dis
charge. a person would be amazingly
aStonished were he only able to see
the shot 90 whizzing by. Experiments
in instantaneous photography prove
that the shot not only spread out,
cometike, as they fly, but they string
out, one behind another at a much
greater distance than they spread
Thus, with a cylinder gun, when the
shot of q charge reaches a target that
is 40 yards away, the last shot is lag
ging full ten yards behind. Even a
chokebore gun shot will lag behind
eight yards in 49, This accounts for
the wide swath that is moved in a
flock of ducks on which a charge of
shot falls just right. About per cent
only of the shot, according to the most
reliable deductions from experiments,
arrive simultaneously at the target
aimed at, the others tagging in the
ratio named above.

subsequent Journey Of 225 miles to
